viii Resist conservancy Act.

Three thousand voters and taxpay-
ers of Miami county, in mass meeting,
adopted resolutions in which the con-
servancy act is denounced. The reso
lutions declare that the removal of
encroachments, Strengthening, deepen
ing and widening the channel of the
Miami river would afford ample flood
protection at a negligible cost, and
that no law or custom, human or di-
vine, justifies an expense of millions
to protect interests that have largely
been the authors of their own food
calamity"
Commissioners of the county are
earnestly urged at once to take all
ordinary or extraordinary measures
necessary to defeat the operation of
the said act in the county of Miami to
the end that they shall in conjunction
with the county prosecuting attorney
employ local and outside attorneys to
resist to the last degree the enforce
ment of said act.''

NEW TRIAL TO BECKER
COURT GIVES FORMER GOTHAM
OFFICER ANOTHER CHANCE.
Men Who Killed Herman Rosenthai
Must Pay Penalty In the
Electric Chair.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 26.-Former
Lieut. Charles Becker of the New York
police force, now in the death house
at Sing Sing, under sentence to be
electrocuted for the murder of Gamb-
Ter Herman Rosenthal was granted a
new trial on Tuesday. The decision
was handed down by the state court
of appeals on a plea made by counsel
for Becker in December, 1913, and re-
versed the conviction.
Judge Werner dissented from the
decision of his colleagues reversing
the conviction which was reached be-
fore Justice Goff.
There were 25 legal points, made In
the appeal for Becker last Decem-
ber., 1t was the contention of Attor-
ney Palmer before the court that
Samuel Schepps was an accomplice.
The evidence that he had interviewed
Becker at the latter's home subse-
quent TO his arrest was fabrication,
he maintained.
Mr.. Palmer also contended that
Schepps' testimony was not corrobo-
rated within the meaning of the law.
He also declared there had been vio-
lation of the constitution in Becker's
case in that his client had not had a
fair and impartial trial.
Exception to the opening address of
the prosecuting attorney was also
taken.
The appeals Of the four young gun
men, who were convicted of actually
shooting Herman Rosenthal to death
were denied and they must die in the
electric chair.
The gunner who must go to the
chair are: Harry Horowitz, alias
"Gyp the Blood" Louis Rosenberg,
alias Lefty Louie" Frank Cirofiici,
alias "Dago Frank" and Frank Muel-
ler, alias Whitley Lewis"

More Cell Room Wanted.

Provision must be made by the next
general assembly for additional ac-
commodations at the Ohio state re-
formatory at Mansfield, according to
Starr Cadwallader, member of the
state board of administration. There
has been, he said, a sudden and en-
tirely unexpected increase in the pop
ulation of the institution, which is due
either to an unusual increase in crime
or the conviction of more than the
usual number of first offenders. There
is cell room in the institution for only
846 prisoners, but the present popula-
ton is 1880. This has necessitated
doubling two men in single cell, a
practice that the board members say
is highly undesirable.

Railroad Cases in March.

Not until the return to Columbus
after March 1 of Gov. Cox, who has
been spending vacation in Florida
resting from the labors of the special
session, will there be any action on
the application of railroads for dismis-
sal of the quo warranto suits filed
some months ago by Attorney Gen
eral Hogan. AS soon as the governor
returns the unofficial board, consisting
of the chief executive, the attorney
general and the members of the state
public utilities commission, will hold
meeting to determine upon a policy.
That the three suits, which put into
question the right of the Chesapeake
& Ohio to own the Hooking Valley and
the Lake Shore to own the Toledo &
Ohio Central, will be submitted to the
courts for final determination amounts
almost to certainty.

Test of Eligibility Issue.

A friendly suit in the supreme court

woman, appointed to a deputy's posi-
ton after she had passed the civil
service examination successfully, and
following the opinion of Prosecutor
Cyrus Locher, of Cuyahoga county,
that she was eligible, will be used as
a basis for the suit, according to ar
rangement between the attorney gen.
eral and the prosecutor. Attorney
General Hogan had given an opinion
that women are ineligible because not

Commission Sees Better Times.

Early returns received by the state
tax commission indicate. says the com
mission in statement, that there will
be enormous increases in personal
property returns, assuring reduced tax
rates and better times for home own
ers and farmers. The commission
ascribes the increases to the close
supervision that is being exercised
under the provisions of the Warnes
act, which, it adds, will prove a solid
buttress for the Smith one per cent
tax law.
