ROBBERY
Supposed To Be Motive For
Attack On Miller
columbus Journal)

Police believe that robbery was the
motive of the attack on Warner w
Miller, aged 60, of Mt. Vernon, who is
now in st. Francis Hospital with q
Abroken jaw, one eye swelled shut and
bruises on the face and body.
Miller was found early Tuesday
morning by officers Van Glesen and
Earnest near the corner of Young and
State streets in semi-conscious CON
. dition. He was taken to police sta.
ton, where he could give no accurate
account of the circumstances sur.
! rounding the attack. His watch and
$50 in cash were missing
Officers Shellenbarger, Donaldson
and Boggs arrested Dan Church, aged
81, also of Mt. Vernon, last night for
investigation in connection with the
. case. Church accompanied Miller to
Columbus and was with him part OF
the evening. He said that he had left
Miller in South High street cafe and
: that was the last he had seen of him.
II Is thought that Miller, while
drinking in the saloon, "nashed" his
roll of bills in the presence of men
who followed him out later and beat
him to get the money. Miller is not
thought to be in a serious condition.

1t is of much greater Importance
now that competent men be elected
Judges of the Courts of Appeals than it
was before the adoption of the amend
ment to our Constitution making the
change in our judicial system. Now,
the judgments of those Courts are fin
al in nearly all civil cases, and in all
minor criminal cases; and because of
the Importance of the duties of the
office and the grave responsibilities
that devolve upon the judges, it re-
lected by his fellow citizens to perform
those important public duties. Having
in mind those duties and Responsible
ties, it is with degree of temerity and
some misgivings that he whose cut IL
Eliminates this column announces his
candidacy for Judge of the Court of
Appeals. He is not candidate from
purely patriotic motives. He seeks the
office on account Of the honor it would
confer upon himself, his family and
his posterity; because after eleven
years of service on the Common Pleas
bench he prefers the work of the
bench to the work of the practitioner,
and because the salary of the office ex-
ceeds the income from his practise.
He, himself, is the author of this
proclamation, and if its readers can
obtain from it's perusal some knowl-
edge of his personality and character
one of his objects in writing it will
have been accomplished. His purpose
is to make himself appear just as he
is, and not indulge in the usual more
or less exaggerated description of the
extremely high personal character, the
colossal legal mind, and the extraor-
dinary educational attainments of the
candidate
He does not desire a nomination OBJ
tanned by false pretenses. With what
knowledge of the candidate the read
ing of this announcement discloses he
entertains the hope that he may be
nominated at the primary election in
August; and in that hope he submits
his candidacy to the kind consideration

He is fifty-four years of age; was
born and reared in Genoa township,
Delaware county, Ohio, and resided
there until he was thirty-two years old.
He attended country district school
until he was twenty years of age when
he began teaching country schools.
From 1880 until 1892 he followed
school teaching for about half the year
and in the summer and fall of each
year did farm work and other com
mon labor by the day.
In the fall of 1889 he decided to be-
come lawyer. He had no money to
buy books so he borrowed some books
and began the study of the law. He
read law two years and in that time
taught school seventeen months. He
studied at home at night and at the
school house during the noon hour He
never attended college or lawschool,
nor received financial assistance from
any source. He took the law examin-
atom before the Supreme Court Com
mission in December 1891, passed the
examination with good grade, was adj
mitted to the bar and took the oath of
office December 3rd. He continued
teaching until the end of the school
year in June, 1892, and began the prac-
tice of law in the city of Delaware in
the fall of that year
In 1896, after four years at the bar,
he was nominated by the Democratic
party as one of its candidates for Judge
of the Court of Common Pleas, for the
subdivision comprising the counties of
Delaware, Knox and Licking, and was
elected. After serving a five year term
he was re-nominated by his party in
1901, and defeated by eight votes. He
was again nominated in 1906 and elect
ed over his former opponent by large
majority and served six year term,
retiring from the bench February 9th,
1918.
In his eleven years on the Common
Pleas bench he rendered nearly one
hundred opinions that were published in
the Nisi Prius Reports. Among those
best written is one in which he ex-
! presses his conception of some of the
proper attributes of the lawyer, and
his duty to his client, to his profess

LABOR PEACE AID IN
RECORD COAL OUTPUT
Total Anthracite Production
81, 100000 Tons.

Washlngton.-In spite of the fact
that householders paid more last win.
ter for hard coal than they have done
for some time, official figures show that
all previous records were smashed last
year In the production of anthracite
coal.
Likewise investigations show there
were fewer strikes or other Interrupt
tons to mining operations in the an
thracite regions than there have been
for some time.
The production, according TO figures
complied, reached the remarkable total
of more than S1,700,000 tons. If all
this could be loaded at the same time,
and placed end to end, the cars needed
to hold the fuel would stretch the dis.
tance from San Francisco TO London.
The absence of labor troubles in the
anthracite region is attributed to the
fact that the hard coal miners are now
working under an agreement extending
over periodiof four years from April
/, 1912. and that there is every reason
to believe that Industrial peace In the
anthracite fields will continue until
1916.
Because OF the increasing popularity
Of artificial gas and coke for domestic
purposes 1t Is said that there Is little
probability that anthracite coal pro-
duction will show any marked increase
In the future.
The increase In the use OF gas and
coke, 1t is estimated. will probably
