OPPOSED TO PROHIBITION
Ohio Hotel Men Desire Liquor Ques-
ton Taken Out of Politics.

Columbus O,-Oppositon to prohibit
ton was voiced today by the Ohio Hotel
Mems Association, in annual convention
here. While strict enforcement Of the
law is demanded, continual agitation is
deplored as harmful to the state.
'We favor strict enforcement OF every
liquor law now on the statutes reads
the resolution. But we oppose the con-
tinual injection of this question in po-
litical campaigns.
1--WE recommend passage OF the
amendment to the liquor license law pro
posed by Governor-elect Cox, which will
remove this question from political cam

THE BEST EVIDENCE
POSSIBLE

Ot the superiority of the WILLIAMS
PRIVATE SHORTHAND SCHOOL
is found in the fact that business men
pay Williams graduates, coming right
out of the classes $45, $50, 500 $65, $40
and $75 month to start - and they
make good. This is because the Evil
iams Training" is broader and more
comprehensive and their speed is much
higher than that of the graduates of any
other Cincinnati school.
Williams students acquire "125 word
speed in less than THREE MONTHS,
while all other Cincinnati schools take
from six to ten months for 40 word
speed" This is what gives Williams
students flying start" that can not be
had in any other Cincinnati school,
Graduates of other Cincinnati schools
can not do this class of work; they
haven't had the civilians Training"
they haven't expert shorthand; they
don't get the personal attention and care
that is given in Williams School. They
are not followed up for advanced posi-
tons and promotion as Williams grad
uates are, consequently Williams gradu-
ates are YEAR AHEAD of all others
at the start in the big pay envelope

largely due to the use of the NEW

You find Williams graduates stepping
directly out of the school into secretarial
positions; in the U. S. Courts in Gin
cinnati in the University of Cincinnati !;
into railroad offices, as secretaries to

Record OF the men said to be brought
by the kroger Company to take the
place of union teamsters.
The police court records show a start
ling situation brought about by the at
tempt to break the teamsters' strike with
imported sluggers. Not content with
confining their slugging to banner car
riers and striking teamsters, these slug
glers go right after innocent citizens not
in any way involved in the strike. Here
is what the police court records show
Case No. 4662S-State of Ohio VS..
Harry Allison.
In this case, by the testimony of rail-
road detectives, and Officers Dubant and
Beckroegge, and q clerk in the Adams
Express Office, it was shown that Alli-
son, an imported slugger. assaulted and
knocked out John d. Miller of 3Os Pike
street Judge Bell fined him S. and cost
Attorney Albert H. Morrill,, who repre-
sents the non-union sluggers, made a
great show of taking the case uD to a
higher court, but later paid the fine.
Case No. 47659-State of Ohio VS..
Harry Allison.
Again Allison comes into the lime
light. This time for carrying concealed
alteration with other scab sluggers, all
employed at the Kroger plant, and after
one of the scabs was sent to the hos
pital. the police arrived and searched
Allison and found gun on him. He
was released on thousand-dollar bond,
afterwards reduced to $500, signed by
George Meiners. He was bound over to
the Grand Jury by Judge Fox. Wonder
what will become of this case?

BILLY SUNDAY IN
ERUDITE BOSTON
Fear Expressed That 1t May Con-
vert Him Rather Than He
Convert 1t.

There is no evidence that Billy Sum
day is afraid of Boston.
True to his baseball traditions, he
covers by his delivery" and not even
the discerning bleachers know whether
he goes to the box tremuous or uln-
afraid
1t is pretty certain, though, that in his
moments of repose-few enough, to be
sure-he wonders how his snappy Eng
lish is going with a higf-browed crowd.
Up until now his wonderment hasn't
been satisfied.
Boston paid to see and hear what
other cities have seen and heard But
they haven't seen or heard it yet

Boston engagement, presumably out of
Difference to Boston. He is replacing
monkey shines with spirituality.
The Transcript, which is the embodi-
ment of Boston dignity and sedateness,
says he is deliberately doing less in the
way of shocking and startling than he
did in Paterson and Philadelphia-ton-
ing himself down, diluting himself, ca
joling the Unitarians (part of the time)
throwing bouquets to DR.. Charming,
Charlotte Cushman and Fanny Davcn-
port, cutting out the toughest passages" !"
"One effect" continues the Transcript,
will be that if Sunday has great spirit
ual powers he will have to reveal them
more truly and strikingly than he has
ever revealed them before. That is the
direction in which he will really have to
make good. Just in the proportion that
he stlppresses the mountebank he will
have to make the prophet appear If
there is no prophet there-then, as he
would put it himself, there is nothing
doing"
The danger is apparent enough.
But few are of so flexible a mind that
they can see the possibility of a reversal
of things-that, instead of Billy Sunday
converting Boston, Boston will convert

FAMILY RECEIVES BENEFITS.

Scranton, Pa.-The State compensa-
ton board has ruled that the widow and
children of the late Peter Novak shall
be paid S. 900 compensation benefits by
the Lehigh & Wilkes Barre Coal com
pany. Novak was injured while in the
employ of the company and would not
have his leg amputated. He died as re-
suit of gangrene poisoning. The COM
pany claimed exemption from liability
because he refused surgical attendance,
but the board ruled that Novak's family
should not suffer because of this fact.

The arrival of Happy Finnegan, his

Dorcas was like her father-thin,

who sent Dorcas union suits and nit

Although Dorcas, being eleven years
