subject. But he does not put any
faith in physIognomy. That is, he does
not base his judgment Of a man-as
to his moral status at least-by his
face or the looks Of his eyes. And he
rarely makes a mistake In his men.
When a candidate for parole comes
before him for recommendation to the
state administration board he has the
man sit down by him for a while, talk
ing about the matter, ali the time
carefully sizing up the applicants

warden could not tell you what a right
shaped head is-he usually gives his
consent 1t is closely related to the
warden's theory that whether a man
is good or bad is much like being well
or sick.
Made First Run.
The fire department at Camp Willis,
in charge of Captain H. NJ. Kemp,
has had its first run. A large
hay and straw stack near the frame
buildings on the commis5ary line
caught fire, presumably from lighted
stogie carelessly thrown away by q
rookie. The fire department made a
prompt run and succeeded in extin-
gushing the blaze before it gained
very much headway. The fire oc-
CURED close to a number Of frame
buildings containing nearly million
dollars worth Of supplies and equip
ment, consisting of uniforms, arms
ammunition and various other kinds Of
military property. Had the fire gained
any headway all these buildings and
their valuable contents would Of ne
cessity have been placed in great
jeopardy.
Ask for Rehearing.
Petitions have been filed by the
Sunday Creek Coal Co. and the
Hooking Valley and Toledo & Ohio
Central Railway companies, In which
all three asked for a rehearing on the
action of the state public utilities
commission with regard to the recent
reduction of bituminous coal transpor'
tation rates. The commission recently
reduced the rate from the Hooking
coal district to Toledo via the Hooking
Valley from 85 cents to 80 cents, and
reduced the rate via the T. & o. G.
line from 81 to 80 cents. The rail
roads say the rates are unusually low
and the coal company says that fur
ther reduction should be made.
No Claimants for Money.
The trustees of the defunct Imperial
Savings Co. of Fremont are in the pc
culiar position of having funds of the
trust that no one will claim. The af
fairs of the concern have been in the
hands of administering trustees fol
IA years. On order Of the court, A. B
Smith, one of the trustees, turned
over to the clerk Of the supreme court
the sum of 1850, representing funds
included in dividends declared, bu
which have never been claimed, thC
parties having moved away and theil
addresses now are unknown. 1t i:
likely that the money will ultimately
go into public. treasures.
100000 Fire Losses.
State Fire Marshal Buckley an
nounces that from reports made to hi
department from all parts of the STATE
the fire loss in the entire state be
tween July 1, 1915, and July 1, 1916
was $7,O00,0O0, an increase of million
and a half over the total fire loss TO
the calendar year of 1915. The in
crease, he says, was entirely due tt
the unusually high fire losses incurred
during the first six months of the cur
rent year.
