Columbus, O.-As forecast last week
in Columbus dispatches to the Times
Star, Governor Willis has renounced his
aspirations for the presidential nomna-
ton and has declared that he will be Il
candidate to succeed himself as gov

in a statement issued by the governor,
IN which he says that political machines
have been broken up and cast upon the
scrap heap and program of construc-
live legislation launched to take the
place OF laws enacted by former admin
lstrations. His statement is taken by
many here as being directed at his
predecessor, Governor James NJ. Cox.
Also it is expected here that the govern

EMPLOYERS REFUSE
TO Meet with Painters and Union
Stands ON Its Demands.

The Building Construction Employers
Association yesterday refused to meet
with a committee from the Painters
Union, because it was said by officials
of the association that so long as the
painters demanded that the Glaciers
Union be recognized, there would be no
negotiations.
The Painters Union "Wednesday night
voted unanimously to stand on its orig
inal demands, namely, that its members
be forbidden to work with glazerS not
affiliated with the painters organization.
Phil Gasdorf, business agent, announc-
ed that he received word from William
Shay, national organized of the union,
that he would arrive in this city today
to take charge OF the affairs of the

their parents, who could not
carry them, This method Of ex-
termination aimed at elimination
of the Christian races in Tur-
key, is going on from Smyrna to
Persia and from the Black Sea
to the Mediterranean"
And from the Associated
Press, as quoted by a st. Louis
daily, we learn that evidence
seems to Prove that probably
500 900 Armenians already have
been murdered or forced to the
desert, where only death awaits
them unless relief is secured at
once. And all this has taken
place since March and is now at
the height of its grewsome fury.
I'm view OF the great influence
which Germany and Aus
tria exercise over their ally,
the American people cannot fail
to hold them morally responsible
if these atrocities are permitted
to continue"
If, as we further hear, those
that are driven into the desert in
Punishment, or fee from the tor
lures which threaten them at
home, are robbed and murdered
by the Kurds and other wild
tribes, or left TO die of thirst and
starvation in the desert, it would
seem that the banished might as
well be included among the killed
at once so that altogether, it is
now probable, if not a certainty,
that at least one-half of this
humble Christian people have
been destroyed!
! 1t would seem that the really
civilized nations of the earth
should rise in righteous indigna-
ton and visit such retribution on
this horrible race as that, if not
lcivilized they might at least be
terrOrized into a semblance of

BEST OF LIGHTNING RODS
Conductor. Il 10 Claimed, VIII Give the
Most Effective Protection
Yet Devlsed.

Mention is made in a recent num-
Der Of a German journal Of a light
ming conductor which, it is claimed,
gives much more effective protection
than the usual rod. The inventor
took an ordinary lightning rod and
equipped it below the point with a
disk that was overlaid by electrOlysis
with about two m~illigrams Of bro
mide Of radium, SO put on that il
was weatherproof.
The experiments made showed
that the preparation Of radium ion
lied the air, making it conductive,
for 4 wide circuit around the point
Of the lightning rod. This led, nat
urally, to a decided fall Of potential
in the atmospheric electricity and to
equalization between the various
strata Of air lying in layers one over
another.
The charge of atmospheric cleo
tricity in these strata flowed toward
the point through the air, which was
still a good conductor even at a con-
siderable distance from the point Of
the conducting rod, and was carried
from the point to the ground.
In addition to the increase Of ra-
dius Of action of the lightning rod,
the ionizing Of the air by a prepare
ton Of radium seems to cause the
carrying off Of stronger currents Of
atmospheric electricity.

aThe UspeakabIe Turk


Without any reference what
ever to the present war and the
inducements of Turkey in Eu-
rope, we are yet very free to say
that the Turk in Armenia is
maintaining that character
which, in the last century, won
for him the designation Of our
heading and the unnamable
stigma indicated thereby. If
there were no revolving record
of his atrocities in the past and
no present proofs of his diabol-
ism other than the fiendish
cruelties which have, for months
been perpetrated on the help
less Armenians, and which viii
doubtless only terminate when
the last man, woman and child,
Of the 100000 of these people
are either murdered or driven to
other lands, these would be suf-
ficient to consign him to endless
infamy And, at the present
rate of determination it will on
ly require a few months longer
to complete this wholesale crime
at which devils might well shud-
der. To use the language of an
esteemed correspondent, "the
atrocities now committed in
Turkey surpass anything ever
seen, even in the palmiest days
of Abdul, the arch assassin.
They include torture of the
most revolving types, murder by
wholesale, and a method Of de-
portation that separates fami-
lies and sends large numbers of
the victims to inevitable death.
In one prosperous city twelve of
the leading Armenian men were
taken out upon the road under
pretense of deportation, and in a
Few hours the guards returned
alone. A few days later three
hundred more men followed the
same path to death. This meth
cd is being duplicated every
where in the interior of Turkey.
Children born upon the road are
strangled by the mothers, who
are forbidden to lag behind the
caravan of death. Those too i'll
are left alone by the roadside to
die. One German woman follow

case; a question that is answered by
many people who have studied the
case with the declaration that they
believe Frank innocent; by others,
with the insistence that there is at
least sufficient element of doubt to
make absolutely necessary in the in
terest Of justice that the mans
death sentence be commuted to life
imprisonment. Governor Slaton
took the latter view.
Let it be recalled, now, that in
the case of Thaw, there is no ele-
ment of uncertainty. He killed a
man in the full view Of a multitude
of people. He was armed to do it;
had threatened and manifestly had
premeditated it. Yet by dint of
money and influence he has been
saved from any possible chance of
paying the supreme penalty. He
has been declared insane at the
time the act was committed, there
fore not guilty Of the murder. From
that day forth there has been no
excuse for keeping him in durance
save that he was insane; and the
durance was so far from vile
thanks again to money and infiu-
ence--that he managed to escape
from an asylum that was anything
but a prison, and spend a long
period in a most agreeable outing in
New Hampshire. Now he is back in
New York, to be tried as to his
present sanity. If a jury shall de-
eide that he has recovered his SAN
ity, that is the end; he will get his
freedom.
Any wonder that men of serious
minds protest that the laxity of our
system of criminal law and justice
is a persistent incentive to wide
spread contempt for the law?

WORK FOR THE CHILDREN

Too much stress cannot be laid
on the value to Washington of the
three Camps, Good Will, Camp
Pleasant, and the Baby Hospital
Camp, to be opened this month by
the Associated Charities. These
camps embody a most effective in
strument of the home life and child
welfare work now being done in the
city.
The public, not thoroughly &C.
quainted with the work, is too apt to
regard the enterprise as simply a
means of giving a number of poor
families a pleasant outing. That is
only a part of it's significance. The
Associated Charities outlined in a
recent statement the efforts made
to teach citizenship to boys and
girls at the camps. There is an
efficient follow up" system by
which these children are visited dur
ing the year, and the educational
influence becomes one of the main
benefits of the two weeks stay in
the country.
Most important of all, perhaps, is
the Baby Hospital Camp, for there
human lives actually are saved, and
poorly nourished and inadequately
cared for babies are given the fresh
air and food that means their re-
cuperation and "a start upon the
road to strong and healthy manhood
and womanhood. If Washington cit
liens could be induced to visit the
camps and see the work done, the
charity organizations would not
have to make appeals for funds for
the support of the project.

His voice evincing the emotion he

his friends In these words that he
never again would take up his duties as

1t was the first time he had stated
his intentions for the f, ture. One of

The negro Campbell, suspected of the
crime, faced an ordeal on the witness
stand at the inquest, but he protested
his innocence.
Attorney Heise, lifelong friend OF the

again. The tale varied slightly from his
