the walls is the real way to start, he
holds. And so he ushers in the play
ing of tennis. He believes 1t will
make the women prisoners healthier
in body and mind and ultimately more
satisfied to be prisoners and more
willing to obey the prison rules.
Demands Resignation.
The demand made Monday by War.
den Thomas of the penitentiary for
the resignation of Deputy Warden
Thomas L. Bucey Of Licking county
is being taken here as a hint that a
general reorganization for the official
staff of the institution may be in pros.
pect. No reason is being given for
the removal of Bucey except the in.
timation that his services were not
satisfactory.
No ldIeness for Conviets.
Recently the new warden an.
nounced the proposal to establish the
teaching of ethics, reading, debating
and other literary pursuits among the
prisoners generally. Previously, or al.
most as soon as he became warden,
he decided to let the men prisoners,
who are not employed at work, play
baseball and other games practically
all day long in the prison court. Be
fore his regime every idle man, and
there are about 700, spent all day in
his cell, expecting only one hour in
the morning and one hour in the aft.
ernoons and the time consumed at
meals.
Prove They're Not Militants.
Columbus suffragets are not mill
tants." On the broad expanse of the
Ohio State university campus recene
ly they proved this to the satisfaction
of all observers who attended the May
festivities of the Columbus College
Equal Suffrage league. May pole
dances and other equally innocent
amusements were features of the
function. The most strenuous part
of the festivities was a basket ball
game between rival teams of girls
Even, though the game was not un
spirited, the whole affair was perfect
ly ladylike and not even the suspicion
was breathed that the participants
ever could be guilty Of anything like
window smashing.
Encampments at Camp Perry.
The Ohio soldiers will hold their en-
campments at Camp Perry this year
This has been decided upon by Adult
Gen. George H. Wood, who announces
that the encampments will be held be
tween June 28 and Aug. 10. The dates
for the various regiments have not all
been determined upon, but it is prob
ably that the Fourth regiment will be
in camp July 2O-27, and the Eighth
regiment July GLIB. 1t Is understood
that it will be policy of the present
administration to hold all encamp
ments at Camp Perry. Heretofore
many of the regiments have held theil
encampments frequently in other parts
of the state.
Law Is Uncertain.
Police and fire chiefs all over Ohio
are shaky over the announcement
that despite all the precautions taker
| to continue the protection of theil
positions under the civil service, thu
new civil service law is altogether un
certain in the protection it gives them
A careful Interpretation of the new
law is to the effect that, between Au
gust of this year and the first Of mex
year, the chiefs will be wholly at the
mercy of any mayor that wants tt
fire them. This is because of a lit
F., tie slip that somebody made while thu
measure was being recently enacted.
Lambast Auto Act.
The new state auto law is still
smarting, if it has any feelings at all
over the lambasting it got recently a
the hands of the members of the Ohit
State Automobile association. "Ini
quitious," unconstitutional" and othe
such terms were the sort used Il
condemn it. The delegates also pai(
their respects" to Governor Cox fo
the latter's championship of the law
Playing to the galleries" is wha
they accused the governor of. Objec
ton to the measure is based on tn,
fact that it will make many autoist
pay SIS year instead Of $5.
Apples Will be High Priced.
Summer and fall vaIities of applet
will be high in Ohio this year be
+ cause of the severe freezes in Aprl
and May, according to N. e. Shaw
state nursery and orchard inspector
These varieties do not stand loni
shipment, and the supply depend
largely upon the state crop. White
varities can be shipped long distances
Few apples of all kinds have escape'
destruction in central Ohio. Damag
has been severe throughout the state
but elevated orchards have generalt
escaped serious injury.
Western Ohio and the tier Of lax
counties suffered less than other sec
tions, so reports received by InspeC
tor Shaw indicate. A bumper crop Q
fruit of all kinds iS promised in Oh
iowa county, peaches predominatine
A partial crop of cherries is assured
but plums will be scarce. Early bloom
ing strawberries were killed, but fai
crop may be expected. Other smal
fruits should be plentiful. Belated re
turns show that while the unusuall
heavy recent frosts played havoc wit
Ohio fruit, the damage is not as sci
ious as at first supposed.
