recently retired as sheriff of his coun-
ty. He said after reaching the Office
Monday afternoon that he would not
make any changes for the time being,
1t is believed that he will make q
number of changes in course of time.
Fear Clean Sweep.
The failure of State Fire Marshal
Zuber and State Printer E. A. Craw.
ford to secure reappointment, togeth-
er with the reports that State High
way Commissioner James R. Marker
and State Librarian John H. Newman
would also lose out, has filled the .Har-
mon holdover officials and employees
with increased apprehension lest the
new administration will make pretty
nearly a clean sweep in appointments.
The politicians have been fighting
Marker hard, and If he is displaced it
will be largely because of this oppo.
sition. He has not needed their re-
quests enough in the appointment of
men for his Office Instead he has put
on his force men who have gone
through college with high honors. Lii
| brarian Newman says that he has re-
ceived no intimation that he is to be
displaced. 1t is said that Frank N.
Sweitzer of Canton, member of the
state library board of commissioners,
is sure to get the job.
Secretary Graves Ruling.
Every election board in the state
will be interested in a ruling Secre-
tary of State Graves has given to the
Cuyahoga county election board. The
new constitution provides that muni.
cipalities having population of 1000
shall nominate by primary election.
The question of how to ascertain the
population is bothering the election
boards. Graves says that in determin.
ing this question the federal census
shall be taken in the absence of other
evidence. Many municipalities have
become villages since the census was
taken and they are eager to be recog'
nized as such. If other evidence is
presented establishing the population
to be larger than shown by the last
federal census, it should be clear, Ger
tain and authoritive, Graves declares
Hogan Renders Opinion.
In ruling to the state pharmacy
board, Attorney General Hogan holds
that druggists who manufacture bed
bug poison.a are subject to the new law
requiring manufacturers of insecti
cides and fungicides to take out q
state license for which fee of SIC
is charged. This money is paid to the
state nursery and orchard inspector
and is by that official turned into the
state treasury. In another opinion il
is held that sheriffs who are railroad
policeman and as such have passes
over steam and electric lines, canno
charge up their transportation to the
! county when travelling on passes.
Gen. Wood Will Investigate.
Capt. John M. Field of the regular
; army, on duty at San Juan. Porte
Rico, has advised Adjt. Gen. Woot
, that he has just dicovered that /;
Smith G Wesson hammerless 80 cal
. ibre revolver which he took from ;
Filipino general named Pana, cap
tured early in 1900, belonged to C. A
Heckleman of Company D, Fifth regi
ment Ohio National Guard. Thi
name was found engraved on the re
volver when it was taken out to b,
cleaned recently. Gen. Pana refuse'
to tell his captors how he came in pos
session of the weapon. The record
of the adjutant generals office shoy
[ that Christian A. Heckleman was
t private in Company A, Fifth o. V. ]
> of Berea. 1t is surmised that afte
r being mustered out of this regimen
} that Heckleman re-enlisted and wen
1 to the Philippines. An investigation
3 will be made by Gen. Wood to ascel
/ tain as to this, and whether or nc
/ he may have fallen a victim of til
D Filipinos. The recovery of his re
: volver and the discovery 13 years late
) that it was his property may bring t
E light important information regardin
l him.
