mining situation. They say they
believe the shutdown of the mines
won't last for many weeks, and
in the meantime they predict that
there will be little suffering from
coal shortage on account of the large
supply that is already on the market.
Before the present conference is over
the operators probably will have
named representatives to a joint con-
ference of miners and operators, to be
held in Columbus late next week.
Meantime, early next week, the miners
will meet In state convention and will
select their agents to the joint confer
ence. There is good deal OF differ
ence Of opinion between the coal op-
orators of the Hooking district and
those of the eastern Ohio district
The Hooking operators, owing to the
nature Of their mines, may find 1t con-
venient to accept the new run-of-mine
system Of paying wages, with certain
restrictions, while the eastern Ohio
owners say they will find it hard to
accept the new system under any con-
ditions.
N. p.'s Face State Board.
Gov. Cox sent a letter to the Ohio
medical board asking that greater ef-
forts be made to stamp out the busi-
ness and punish those guilty Of Of
fenses.
Before the letter reached the board,
four physicians had been summoned.
The state medical board continued the
cases, after reprimanding the men.
Their license to practice medicine
found guilty again, the board an
nounced. The men on the carpet
we're:
DR.. Carl r. Knoble Of Sandusky, DR..
John w. Lilly Of Toledo, DR.. Herman
Salovon and DR.. Carl Cherchron Of
Cleveland. Attorney w. H. Boyd Of
Cleveland represented DR.. Salovon.
These men are part Of those caught
in the Duffy law enforcement against
the possession or sale Of habit-form-
ing drugs. The state medical board
announced after the hearing that no
mercy is to be shown in the future,
that licenses to practice medicine
would be revoked on showing Of con-
viction in the courts.
Formerly State Mine inspector.
The death OF Thomas B. Bancroft of
Springfield, who was state mine in
spector from 1884 to 1883. calls atten-
tion to the fact that there are now
but two men living who formerly held
that Office. One of them is Andrew
Roy, who was the first inspector and
As such organized the department
He was appointed from Mahcning coun-
ty 40 years ago, serving from 1874 to
1878 and then from 1880 to 1884. At
the start the inspector had neither an
Office nor assistants. His Office was
where he hung his hat. Mr.. Roy trav-
eled over the state visiting mines and
wrote his reports while riding on
trains. The other surviving former in
spector is Elmer G. Biddison, who Is
managing a coal mine in Stark county.
He was the predecessor Of George H.
Harrison, who died year ago
viii Go to Highest Bidder.
The banks that are awarded funds
paid in under the workmen's compen-
sation act, which will be let out by
State Treasurer Brennan April 20 for
a period of two years, will probably
not be called upon to refund any of
the money they get because of the
fact that the sums paid out Of these
funds for expenses are so small COM
pared with the receipts. There will
be close to 100000 to be let out
This money will 60 to the highest
bidders. Banks which now hold de-
posits may bid for the compensation
money, but the total amount they got
must not exceed their capital stock.
II their capital stock is $50,000 and
they now have a deposit Of $4,000 of
regular state funds, they may only get
$4,000 of money to be sold April 20.
Free Moving UP to Board.
The public service commission was
asked by the Leetonia railroad for a
ruling whether railroad companies can
legally bill free Of charge the house
hold goods of an employe who has
been moved from one point to another
The company also asked for a ruling
whether the household goods of a
man newly employed can be transport
ed free TO his place Of employment.
May Sign Petitions.
There is nothing in the new laws to
prevent public employees in the civil
service from signing the nomination
petitions Of candidates for office, ac
cording to the opinion of most of the
city solicitors Of the state and the
attorney generals office does not dis
sent from this Interpretation Of the
law.
Must Cut Their Nails.
Clip, clip clip! There will be
sounds in the Ohio penitentiary
just like that when 1900 pris
oners begin to use their new manicur,
scissors. Warden Thomas has ISSUED
an edict that finger nails must not b.
permitted to grow like the nail OF I
Chinese mandarin, and that manicur
ing must not be permitted to retro
grade into the status of lost art
Wherefore, he has supplied every pris
oner with dainty little pair Of scis
sors. The scissors are for the pur
pose Of replacing the pocketknive
that were found not long ago.
