That there is a growing resentment
among Republicans at the personal
machine building methods of Cover
nor Frank b. Willis is daily growing
more apparent. The work which
won for Linn poor second place on
the Ohio Republican state delegation
to Chicago is likely to cost him dear
in the days to come. Some indication
of the feeling and an expose of the
methods used is given in an electio
aftermath by way of a Washington
dispatch in the Cincinnati Enquirer,
here repeated:
"Tbe Ohio congressional delegation
has been scanning the few election re
turns from the Tuesday primary and
drawing conclusions as to the mean.
ing of the vote. The balloting of the
Eighth district, which showed that the
governor ran ahead, has held unusual
interest and confirmed the ante-pri-
mary story that personal organiza-
ton was at work in behalf of the
governor. The lack of strength exhib-
tied by Colonel William Cooper Proc
tor and John J. Sullivan tended to
confirm this first impression. While
the story of 'single-shooting' by this
organization in behalf of the governor
ticians accept as true the report of a
three-to-a-precinct band to work for
Willis alone. With this information
evidence is vouchsafed of direct ac-
tivity of Colonel Worthington Kautz-
mann, who has presented himself in
the various districts as the patronage
dispenser of the state administration
and the personal political representa-
tive of Governor Willis. 1t is believed
that he has been supplementing the
work of the appointees organization,
and has been devoting his energies es.
pecially to dry leaders in the counties
In Willis behalf. That Colonel Kautz-
mann, ostensibly an aide in the state
anti-liberal organization has been ac-
25, when candidates for delegates
were announced, is known. That he
has been instrumental in holding in
allegiance Beal law elections in certain
localities, and that he is working in
behalf of the administration to pre-
vent a submission of the recurrent pro-
hibitlon amendment, is suspected In
view of the effort made, the lead of
Senator Harding over Governor Willis
is considered an omen, and members
of the Ohio delegation in congress
who are up for reelection this year
look on the formation of the Willis
organization with suspicion II has
been ascertained that Governor Willis
has had Colonel Kautzmann placed on
the state payroll since the primary
fight started, as a special investigat-

CORCORAN
Pensioned and Retired by PennsyI-

Period Extending over As
Years

John Corcorau of 2O7 South Rogers
street has been placed on the retired
roll of employees OF the Pennsylvania
railroad and will spend the remain
der of his life in ease.
The action came about the first OF
this week. Mr.. Corcoran has been in
the service of the Pennsylvania rail,
road for period of 40 years, and dur
ing that time has ever been faithful
to the trust and confidence reposed
in him.
In recognition of this service, the
company has entered his name among

been awarded a pension.

sued a statement showing that during
the three months ending April 30,
state funds on deposit earned S73,
54217, and estimating that for the
year ending June 30, the total interest
earnings will be more than $500, 900.
In addition to this, the money in the
workmen's compensation fund earned
during the quarter s3S,9S7.06, while
the proceeds from state insurance
bonds held by the treasurer was $780,
4096t. The interest on state funds
and workmen's insurance money has
amounted in, one year to S446, .21,
enough to pay the total cost of per-
sonal service and maintenance of the
following departments: Treasurer of
state, attorney general, auditor, bank
ing department, automobile depart
ment, clerk of the supreme court, su-
preme court reporter, commissioner
OF soldiers claims and geological sur
vey. When the cost of all those de-
partments was paid there would still
remain of the interest earnings more
than $4,000
Nearly half MILAN dollars year
in interest earningsl That surely is
fine and gratifying showing. But
what comment it is on the Republi-
can claim during the last campaign
that Ohio was facing deficit and
bankruptcy! There earnings are best
possible evidence that there were mil
lions to the states credit at the time
the campaign lie was circulating and
that they have been at work ever
since. The Republican exultation
ought to be tempered with shame at
the manner in which their press and
orators sought to fool the people.

A glance at election returns shows
that 81 Ada Republicans voted

that one out of every eight who voted

ANNA E. CUSHING's DEATH
 DUE TO PARKS CARELESsNEss.
Coroner Bills Finding in French's
 Crossing Automobile Fatality.

The following is Coroner Arthur G. BilPs finding in the death of Anna E. Gushing, Providence, killed at French's crossing last week:
 The undersigned, coroner within and for the county of Windham, having re- ceived notice of the death of Anna Elizabeth Gushing at French's cross ing, so-called, in the town of Plain Held, on the morning of July 17th, 1916, l viewed and examined the body of said deceased, the condition, and surroundings of the railroad crossing and the locomotive thereon where said death occurred, and on the Fist day of July, 1916, held an inquest as to the cause and manner of the death of said deceased at the office of B. w. panielson, in Moosup, Conn. From said examination and the testimony taken at said inquest I find that the said Anna Elizabeth Cushing died at said Plainfield on said 17th day of July, 1916, from a fracture of her skull caused by her being hurled from an automobile in which she was riding, at the invitation of Arthur Edward Parks train on the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad c|qApany then passing over said cross ing at it's ordinary and usual rate of speed. I further find that said Arthur Edward Parks was the owner of and
 
 running at a high and unreasonable rate of speed when approaching said crossing. I find that said crossing was properly protected by the usual si gns, and by an electric bell or gong, which was in working order and in operation at the time of said acci- dent, and that the engineer on said train gave the regular crossing signal of two long and two short blasts of the whistle on the locomotive, at the whistlfng post eaBter1y Of said cross Ing.
 I therefore find Dtat the death of said Anna Elizabeth Cushing was caused by. the criminal carelessness of the said Arthur Edward Parks
 I delivered the body of said deceased to her relatives for burial
 I file with this finding a copy of the testimony taken at said inquest.
 Dated ct Danieisen, 0his 24th day of July, 1916.

IRON MINES OF SARDINIA
 BEING WORKED BY ITALIANS
To Meet Heavy Supply Demanded for
 Artillery Munitions.

Rome, July 25.-The iron mines of the island of Sardinia, worked in the time of the Roman republic to obtain metal for the arms of her Iegions, are today being worked by the Italians in their need for artillery munitions Never in her history, according to a writer in the Idea Nazionale, a daily newspaper, has Italy so felt the need of iron or so recognized the lack of it in her soil
 Of the large countries of the world barring Japan Italy's soil is the poor est in iron ore, despite her care in de- velOping the mines she possesses. She yearly produces slightly over 400 900 tons of pig iron, as compared to up wards of 30000, GOO tons in the United States, or 10000, 900 in England, 2O,- 900, 900 in Germany, and 2,3O0,0 in Austria Hungary, the country with which she is at war.
 The progress of Italy as an iron producer, has, however, been rapid. In the year 1890 she was producing but 15CO0 tons of pig iron, as compared to 375, ,000 tons ill 1912. In this war year it is estimated that her produc- ton, stimulated by the needs of her artillery and the high ocean freights from the United States, will be con- siderably greater than in normal years.
 The mountainous country of the mainland of Italy's territory, includ- ing the Alps and the Apennines, yield but little iron. The best part of it

SUPPLY OF RAW COTTON
 IN ENGLAND RUNNING SHORT
Future Outlook for the Lancashire
 Mills is Serious.

Manchester, England, July 25.-The outlook in regard to future supply of
 raw cotton for the great Lancashire mills is serious, according to Chair
 man Hutton of the Council of British
 Cotton Growing Associations. MT. Hutton says:
 The demands of the world for cot ton are going to increase, and partic- ularly in America, which country thanks to the war, Is now getting a very strong hold on the export trade. This means that every year when sup plies are short there is going to be @ scramble for cotton and we can be sure that America will not go short, and that Great Britain as the next largest consumer, will be the greatest sufferer. The situation is one to cause the gravest anxiety. I do not think one can eZaggerate it's seriousness. Unless we can build up new supplies in other parts of the world 1 can see most serious losses facing the Lan-
 cashire cotton trade, and it may be that Lancashire will permanently lose a very large proportion of our export trade. If that should happen many of our mills will have to close and a large proportion of the popula- ton must migrate.
 The Lancashire cotton industry is mainly dependent on the export trade probably to the extent of four ffths Of the machinery employed. It has to meet the competition of the
Norwich bulletin., 1916-07-26

whole world and in the past this has been done by producing articles finer and superior in quality than our com petitors can produce. For this we must have ample supplies of the long CT finer and better qualities of cotton.
 Lancashire is dependent on Amer iCa for 83.7 per cent of the cotton re- quired for the spindles, which have in- creahed to 60 millions and looms to 80 900 and as America consumes more every year it means short time and other difficulties for Lancashire mills besides a shrinkage in exports of cot ton goods.
 Great Britain, according to MT. Hutton, is not obtaining the same proportion of the American crop as formerly. In the period of 1890-1S95 Great Britain took 36.5 per cent of the American crop but for the period of 1910-1915 it was only 25.6 per cent. This is accounted for by the greatly in crea ased consumption on the part of America and if the cotton trade of the world is to be in a position to meet increased production every year of at least 500000 bales is necessary.
 Regarding the possibilities of cot ton grown within the British Empire, MT. Hutton considers these are good but the war has set back the scheme for increasing such growth in various ton suitable to the Lancashire trade; Egypt produces the sort required but in insufficient quantities; Uganda cot ton is all that could be desired but the trade received a severe handicap by the war. Nigeria shows the best possibilities, with a production of 20,- 900 bales, but here again the difficulty | is Oestablish a good variety which will make the industry profitable to the

lands of Sici1,, n,,d

comes from t lands of Sicily and Sardinia The 4lines of Caltanisetta in Sicily produce some $6,0O0, 900 worth of ore. Another $40GO000 worth is mined in the districts about Florence, another million dollars worth comes from Bologna, while smaller values come from mines near Naples, Rome, Milan and Turin. The next largest value comes out of the ancient mines of Sardinia, which produce a value of over $4,00o.000o normally, in peace under pressure this year. It is stated that if foreign capital and American machinery were introduced on that is- land, the mines could be made still more productive.
