CHIEF JUSTICESHIP
GOES TO ALLREAD
Officers Assume Duties Jan.
Time Set For Hold
ing Courts

Columbus, Sept. 1S-Judge James |
Allread of Columbus, Tuesday, was
honored by being chosen chief justice
of the judges Of appeal of the state al
the annual meeting of these jurists
held in the north court room of the
supreme court. He was the unani
nous choice of the judges. He sue.
ceeds Judge Reynolds R. Kinkade OF
Toledo of the Sixth appellate court
district.
Judge Louis B. Houck of Mt. Yer.
non was elected secretary, succeed
ing Judge Albert H. Kunkle of Spring
field. The new officers begin their
terms on January 1. After electing
officers the judges fixed the time of
holding court in the various districts
during the new year. There are eight
districts, with three judges in each.
Judges of the Third district, of
which Judge Allread is one, have been
signally honored by the appellate
court judges of the state. Judge H.
l.. Ferneding of Dayton, colleague of
Judge Allread, served two years as
chief justice. Judge Kunkle who re-
tires as secretary, is the other member
of the court of this district.
Judge Allread is a Republican. He
withdrew as a candidate for nomina-
hon for judge of the supreme court
this year when petitioned to do so by
members of the bar of the district,
who set such high value upon his judi
cial services that they did not wish
him to relinquish his place on the ap-
pellate bench.
Judge Houck is Democrat and is
serving his first term as a member of
the court of appeals. He was a mem
ber of the state senate some ten
years ago. He was the running mate
of the late John M. Pattison, Demo
crat, when he was elected governor,
and was the latter's secretary after
he took the executive chair, holding
this position until the latter's death. !
which occurred six months after his
term began.
Mr.. Houck really was acting gov
ernor during Pattison's illness. The
governor was taken seriously ill the
day of his inauguration. After deliv. /
ering his inaugural address, he went
to the governors office, remained there
half an hour and then went home. He
never returned.
Judge Houck was the head of the
Odd Fellows of Ohio one year, having
been grand master of the Grand lodge
If that order. He is a member of the
higher Masonic bodies of Columbus.
He is Shriner. belonging to Aladdin
emple.

Bank, and ex-United States Senator from
Illinois, went to trial, before Judge Dever,
in the criminal court Of Chicago, on Feb
ruary II, on charges of conspiracy to

clean sweep Of all others indicted, in
connection with the closing Of the La Sale
Street Bank, dismissing charges against
some, and granting new trials to others,

alone The trial promises to be one Of the

INCREASE IN PAY FOR TRAINMEN
WOULD AFFECT PUBLIC

In reply to the demand Of American
railway employees for an eight-hour day
and overtime pay, statement has been
given out in Chicago, by the executive COM
mittee Of the Association Of Western Rail
ways, in which it is claimed that the grant
ing Of this demand would impose an ad-
ditional burden of $1OO,OOOOOO a year on
the railroads, which would have to be pro-
vided by the consuming public, whose aver
age income is much less than that Of the
men demanding the increase.
The yearly average pay of all engineers,
fremen conductors and trainmen, who are
now demanding this increase, it is claimed,
is $1,253

NEWS OF THE WORLD

powers in the United States, has issued
warning in the form Of long, paid tele-
gram, to papers throughout the United
States. stating the likelihood of another
big passenger liner being sunk without
warning, in the near future, regardless OF
consequences to those on board, whether
they be Americans, Englishmen, or citizens
of any other nation.
Mr.. Viereck circulated similar warn
ing just prior to the sailing of the Lusi-
tania, on it's last voyage. These kilograms,
evidently costing an immense sum, have
been paid for with money coming from no
body knows where The warning issued
by Mr. Viereck, among other things, says:
"The central powers have declared that
beginning with the first of March, armed
merchantmen will be treated as warships
The Germans are not nation OF bluff
fers. Unless our nation issues an I'M
mediate warning against travel on belli-
gerent vessels, we shall have to face, in
another couple of weeks, the serious sit
uation that a vessel carrying American
passengers will be sunk without warning,
because such vessel was armed"
The warning goes on to say that Eng
land, bent on eXterminating the German
submarines, by every means, y is not at all
likely to abandon the practice of arming
merchant vessels for defense, in time of
war, and concludes with these words:
If we desire to remove every possibility
of friction, and if we desire to safeguard
the lives of our citizens, there is only one
peaceful course open to us: the United
States must declare that citizens travelling
on board armed ships Of belligerents do 50
at their own risk
The London newspapers have called up
on the British government to take prompt
steps to combat Germany's threatened
campaign against merchant vessels 'We
are forewarned; let us see that we are
forearmed," says the Observer.

NEW SUFFRAGE DECISION

A decision handed down by the Supreme
Court, on February 16, bars the women Of
Illinois from voting at the April II, presi-
Dental primaries, for national convention
delegates and alternates; also for state
and precinct committeeman. They may
still vote, however, for just as many can
didates at the regular election as before
the decision was given.
Some editorial writers urge constitu-
tional amendment, giving the women of
Illinois the right Of full suffrage. One
paper further says:
"Women have been a power for good
government in Illinois. They have sup
ported clean candidates.; they have de-
feated misrepresentation officials. They
have converted the unbeievers in their
own ranks and among men. They have
assured final victory
'Women suffrage in Illinois has nothing
to fear"

THE WIRELESS AGE

1t is said that when John j. Carly,
chief engineer of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company, developed wire
less telephony, some months ago, to point
where the voice Of wireless operator at
the Arlington, Va. government station
was heard at Paris and Honolulu, the sci
entifc world gasped. Since that time, how
ever, it is claimed that additional achieve
ments have crowded each other so rapidly
that the year 1916 promises to become
known in history, as the wireless age.
At 2 A. M. on morning recently, L. B.
Mitchell wireless operator associated
with DR.. Ray E. Hall, Of Chicago, heard
distinctly the wireless of a station near
Yokohama, Japan The distance between
Yokohama and Chicago, by railway and
steamship line, is 1906 miles
DR. Hall has invented a wireless relay
which records wireless messages with a
fountain pen and static eliminator. He
has also perfected high speed sending

fused mixture of sounds to the human
ear; however, this difficulty has been over
come by the wireless relay, which auto
matically records messages as fast as they
can be sent
Secretary Of Navy Daniels has submitted

rectly with each other. The system will be

GOVERNMENT GIVES EASTLAND OF
FICIALS CLEAN BILL

Maintaining that the government had
failed to make a case against the six men
indicted in connection with the Eastland
disaster, in Chicago, last July, Judge
Clarence W. Sessions, in the United States
District Court, has denied the govern
ment s application for the removal of the
accused persons, to the jurisdiction of the
Federal court for the Northern District Of
Illinois,
The court, in making the ruling, among
other things, said: "The majesty Of the
law cannot be upheld and vindicated by
forcing men from their homes, to stand
trial among strangers, upon accusations
which there is barely a scintilla Of proof
to sustain.
This evidently means the end Of federal
prosecution. Assistant States Attorney,
Michael f. Sullivan, Of Chicago, has de-
clared, however, that these men are still
under Indictment, by the grand jury Of
Cook County, and that he has no inten-
ton, whatever, Of dropping the case.

TERRIFIC STORM SWEEPS NORTH
WESTERN EUROPE

A terrific gale swept over France and
Holland, on February 1, and IT, causing
serious damage. A number Of shipwrecks

At various points in Holland, dikes were
broken and districts flooded. The emer-
gency dam at Purimerend, ten miles north
of Amsterdam broke, and the water rushed

est munition plants are located. Since
the outbreak of the war, skilled labor
in these localities has received unheard
of wages as matter of fact, the cotton
mills lost almost their entire complement
of skilled labor to the munition factories,
and today are employing unskilled labor,
for which they have to pay as much as
their best workmen received before the
war. This unskilled labor is able to turn
out less than one-half of the product
that was formerly produced! Is there
any reason why cotton fabrics cost more
money?
The same is true of all wool materials.
The increased cost of raw materials,
dyestuffs, and labor has materially
helped to advance the prices on all these
goods very sharply. Silks are much
higher. Raw silks come from countries
now at war; The finest finished
prod uct form erly came from
Germany, Aust ria, and France;
none comes now! Guarantee d
fast colors will soon be a thing of the
past! No merchant can absolutely
vouch for the colorings in any garment,
or fabric today! Laces, at least the
greater part of the fine laces, and most
dainty embroideries, come from abroad
or rather do not now come-only very
small quantities arriving in this coun-
try at the present time. All this contri-
butes very largely toward the "higher''
cost of living.
Sugar is much higher this year; flour
costs much more, and so do most other
foodstuffs, due to the fact that Europe
is calling for these goods and is willing
to pay a very high price for them!
So when your merchant tells you that
certain goods have advanced materially,
do not try to blame him for it, for he is
not at war with his customers, but is
endeavoring to do his utmost to live at
peace with all men!

which he had established, and his voice
was raised fearlessly against every
popular evil, in a tone which rang
throughout all Christendom.
1t is no eXaggeration to say that not
since the days of the Apostles has there
appeared such a mighty man of God,
as John Alexander Dowie, and today
his name is known in every nook and
corner of the civilized world.
At the organization of the church,
on February %, 1896, DR.. Dowie said:
Il want God to be glorifed
1T means more to me than it means
to any one else here, for, in forming
the Christian Catholic Church in Zion,
| take responsibility which, unless
God gives me that grace which | believe
He will give, will only end in adding
one more to the injurious and distress
ing divisions of Christendom, and that
may God forbid. s. s =
'But I have felt with great, broad,
catholic sympathy, which God gave me
from the beginning, and which God has
broadened and widened and deepened
through all the years, that I wanted, if
ever I should return to organized
church life, to get back to it's primitive
conditions, where the church should be
catholic, universal, all-embracing, in
embracing all who were in communica-
tion with God, by repentance and faith
in our Lord Jesus the Christ"
The church was organized with
about 500 members,-si known as
charter members, s,-with the following
basis for fellowship with the Body:
"FIRST-That we recognize the in
fallible inspiration and sufficiency of
the Holy Scriptures as the rule of faith
and practice.
SECOND we recognize that
no persons can be members of the
Church who have not repented of their
sins, and have not trusted in Christ for
Salvation.
"THIRD-That such persons must
also be able to make good profession,
and declare that they do know, in their
own hearts, that they have truly re-
pented, and are truly trusting Christ,
and have the witness, in a measure, of
the Holy Spirit.
"FOURTH-Thata all other questions
of every kind shall be held to be matters
of opinion and not matters that are
essential to Church unity"
