Governor Hanna this morning de:
MED knowledge of rumOrs current al
the capitol yesterday to the effect that
the chief executive would withhold
his signature from the certificates OF
election for the justices elect until the
provisional supreme court, which
meets tomorrow, could have time to
rule upon the question of the date
upon which terms of new justices
shall begin.
Il know absolutely nothing about
such a plan," said Governor Hanna
this morning. ,,
I'm view of the fact that the Ger.
tificate of election as printed and as
always issued heretofore provide that
the justices-electr shall serve from
the first Monday in December, would
you consider your signature to these
certificates as quasi-Official recOgni-
ton of the claims of the present JUS.
ticeselect, and an apparent decision
upon your part In a matter now be:
fore the supreme court?
Il have given that matter nc
thought said the governor.
May Not Get EN- To-day
Every effort, apparently, is being
made by the contending forces at the
capitol to delay the issuing of Ger
tificates of election until after the pro-
visional supreme court has had its
say tomorrow afternoon. Yesterday
afternoon Secretary OF State Tom
Hall was besieged on both sides. In
reply to every urge he had but one
answer: Were going to be mighty
busy tomorrow cannot say wheth-
er we will get to the issuing of GER
tificates or not.
No Exception to be Made
The secretary of states office al
ways has issued all certificates OF
election in batch. When the can
vassing board met this morning il
still had the figures ON the congress
sional contests to check over and all
of the canvassing as to Legislative
contests, the nOn-partisan school bal
lot,, and the four special issues was
yet to be done.
When all of the work of the can
vassing board is completed, the board
will certify to the secretary of state
the results which it has found. Then
and not till them, will the secretary OF
state be authorized to issue certificates
of election to the successful candi-
dates.
Several Must Sign
The certificates of election must ap-
pear over the signatures Of the gov
ernOr, the secretary of state and one
other member of the canvassing
board.
Will Throw Wsrk Out
Friends of the justices-elect claim
that if they are denied their seats now
they will when they take office Janu-
ary 1, throw out everything done by
the supreme court in the interim.
Justice-elect Robinson, commenting
on the contention that the seating Ot
the justices-elect at this time will in
volve the rearguing of all cases now
argued and on the calendar, assumes
that inasmuch as the arguments in
these actions have been heard by. the
two holdOver members of the court, II
would be an exceptional instance in
which the court would find re-argu-
ment necessary.

FELL FROM LOFT, :
HURT THEN WELL.
How a Man Who Landed On
Wood Pile And Was Sore From
Head to Foot Found
Quick Relief.

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam.
Wno ives in the quiet, pretty hamlet of
Wendell Depot, Mass, climbed M into
q loft to get some building material,
just as many another man living in the
country must often do. Suddenly he
slipped and fell. Ten feet below was a
plle OF wood, knotted and gnarled. It
was a nasty tumble, and MI. Putnam
was injured painfully i'll the back, he
was covered with bruises, and was sore
from head TO foot.
The next Gay he bought a bottle of
sloan's Linirnent which had been re-
commended to him. Within a yerv few
hours the soreness had vanished and
the lameness had disappeared, He was
an active man once more.
Sioan's Liniment can be obtained at
Bill drug stores, &C., E0c. and ST. Y.

Peace Plan OPPOSED BY LONDCNERS.
Belief Prevails New Government viii View
Proposals as Entirely Unacceptable.

London. Dec. 13.-A strong
current of public sentiment OPP
posed to the German peace pro-
posal was evident in the first
expressions available last night
both from public men and the
British press, although these
We're without knowledge of any
definite terms and without any
word from high authoritative
sources indicating the attitude of
the Government.
The only Information in the
press reports was from Berlin
and in the absence Of some tang
IDLE official proposition, British
officials were disposed to main
'a:n reserve. 1t was noticeable
that he proposal had not created
any profound impression among
the average Londoners. There
was little talk in the hotels OF
other public places and this dis
cussion was far less animated
than in the recent ministerial
crisis.
Some early expression, indi-
eating the general drift of senti-
ment, we're as follows:
Sir Aruther Conan Doyle: "We
want to know more about the
terms, for, without them tine
Imperial Chancellors' suggestion
of peace is preposterous and
! ridiculous. We, too, are c%onsci-
Gus of victory and his boastings
will be laughed at
The Marquis of Londonderry:
"We have got to win the war.
Peace at the present time would
be disastrous to the Nation and
the empire. 1t is only a ques-
ton of time and we will win out
absolutely"
Sir Gilbert Parker, after
mingling with his associates in
the House of Commons, said:
This is clearly a political
maneuver designed to impress
the world as a dramatic stroke,
but having little serious purpose
toward securing an enduring
peace. One of the chief essen
tials of any peace would be such
a curling of German millitarism
that a resumption of the present
conflict would be impossible"
The Daily Telegraph ;oday
prints prominently the following:
"We have received information
from an unimpeachable source
that the Central Powers recently
offered peace to Belgium OF the
following terms: The Belgian
are invited to insist upon i'm
mediate peace. In return for
this their country will be restor-
ed to them, its independence
guaranteed and financial assist
ance given for it's economical re-
Mobilization.
mIn the event of these terms
being refused, the intimatioa has
been given Belgium that the
very existence, her monuments
her public buildings, and even
her towns, is threatened"
