It is doubtful If the present COVER

improperly of talking politics on ev-

Office of governor is the highest in
the state, it is presumed that consid-

Then, too, the fact that this office has
usually been occupied by able and
worthy men, many Of whom have ris-

a matter of respect TO the office OF

campaigning for office.

THREATENS NEW YORK
Measures Taken to Prevent Spread Of

Albany, ~ " July 3.-Precautlon-
airy measures designed to prevent the
spread Of infantile paralysis into the
counties surrounding New York city
were taken by the state health depart
ment, Health officers in these coun-
ties were instructed to repoyt imme-
diately to the department all cases of
the dreaded malady, whether in the
suspicious or well develoned stage.
The state health authorities were
prompted to resort to this by reason
of the facility with which the disease
is spreading. Two specialists in in
fantile paralysis in the service Of the
health department will be dispatched
into any Of the counties reporting tbs

Professor w. w. Black, head of the
of education, Of Indiana,
has been spending some time in Ohio,
studying the operation OF the Ohio
school code. His purpose Is to make
a report to the state of Indiana with a
view to having the code adopted
there.
Ordinarily there might not be any
special meaning in such visit But
at this time there is Il very great
meaning in 1t, because of the oppo-
sition to the school code when 1t was
proposed and being considered by
the legislature, and the fact that ed
ncators in other states are coming
to understand that we have the best
school code in any state in the Union
has.
Prior to the enactment of the pres
ent law, under the administration OF
Governor Cox, Ohio stood second to
the last in the list OF states In regard
10 educational matters. The ther
governor predicted that the passage
of the measure would raise the STATE
to the top of the list In a few years
SO it is significant to find Ohio occu
pying first place in less than three
years. But the real Significance come
from the fact that the passage of thi
law which has put Ohio In the frs
rank, was the contributing cause O
the defeat of the man who put
through the legislature.

That Roscoe FiFebug, Alleged
Suicide, Is Alive
MYSTERIOUS COPPER BOX
Contains Name Of Landerman Dated
Two Years Later Than His
Death--ProbIem ls Later
Solved by Simple
Explanation

The finding of mysterious copper
ing e Lake Erie tracks near the wa
ter tank Thursday afternoon gave
rise to the revival of the old rumor
that Fred Landerman, whose name |
was associated with the chain Of in
cendiary fires at Roscoe three years |
ago, and who committed suicide be-
cause of that fact, was not dead as is
generally believed, but is, or was un-
til recently, alive, says the Coshocton
Tribune.
While at work Thursday afternoon,
Lewis Denzer found the box on the
ash pile. It was made of copper and
sealed with solder and was about six
inches in length, two inches in depth
and two inches wide.
DenZer and another opened the
box with penknife and found within
1t the decomposed body Of a canary,
bird, some bits OF cotton and silk and
a paper with the names of Mr.. and
paper gave the date of the placing Of
the bird in the box. According to
Mr.. Denzer the date was December 5,
1915. Mr.. Denzer is said to have
been mistaken In the year.
It will be remembered that Lander
mans name was associated with the
chain of invendiary fires at Roscoe
three years ago which resulted in the
burning of the Roscoe school, postof-
fee, LeRetiiley store and several 9th
; er buildings totaling a loss exceeding
= 100000 No arrests were ever made,
although both state and county oflic-
ials worked on the fires.
= On March 4, 1913, Landerman took
drug called medlnal and lapsed into
unconsclousness, dying 18 hours later.
Members of the family did not call a
physician. In signed statement Ian,
derman gave a the reason for his
I rash act, the circulation of reports
D that he was the person responsible
4 for the mysterious fires.
\ Subsequently reports were circu
g lated that Landerman had been seer
o elsewhere and this, together with the
> fact that no physician was called, LED
L many to believe that Landerman was
Q still alive. The finding of the box OF
IS Thursday last revived this fiction.

Vt Cambridge street, last night explain
II ed the mystery. According to Mr.
II BELL his daughter, Mrs. Fred Lander
man, now Mrs. Bert Platt, of Orange
street, owned canary of which sh,
