CLAIM SIGNATURES
ARE FRAUDULENT
Ohio SuffragiStS Take Their
Contention TO Court.

Columbus, Sept. 6.-Ohio suffragists
took their squabble with Secretary Of
State Fulton over alleged Illegal sig
natures on petitions asking a referen
dunn on the Reynolds act to court with
a 200 page petition. They ask a tenn
porary restraining order enjoining
Fulton from counting 78,643 names on
petitions from sixty-fve counties and
on part petitions from several other
counties on the grounds that they are
permeated with fraud and that Fulton
has refused to strike them out or
grant them a hearing TO prove their
claims. Unless the injunction is
granted, the petition says, a gigantic
fraud will remain unchallenged ana
the initiative and referendum placed
in jeopardy.
The petition states that OF the 49,
643 signatures the majority Of them
do not conform to law because they
are "penciled, illegible, forged and
Illegal" and that because Of this fact
It is impossible to distinguish the
bona fide ones from the alleged ilie-
gal ones. Therefore, It is asked that
all the petitions from sfxty-five coun
ties be thrown out.
Tifin Gilmore Of Columbus is
charged with having circulated sixty
one part petitions in Franklin county,
six in Licking county and two in Ross
county all of which, 1t is alleged, are
"permeated with fraud"

OVER 100000 AT WORK
ON BRITISH MUNITIONS
Churchill Says Army 10 No Longer
Tapping Stored Up Resources Of
the National Energy.

London.-Colonel Winston Churchill,
minister Of munitions, has begun the
reorganization Of the British munitions
department. In a statement he says
the department is now employing
100000 persons and the headquarters
stafr 1850 and that It is controlling an
expenditure Of between f600,0000O0
and f700.000,000 year. Colonel
Churchill says the work the depart
ment has done has made the British
armies "the best equipped and most
formidably armed In Europe"
"But," the minister adds, after these
great efforts and in the fourth year OF
the war we no longer are tapping
stored up resources of the national en-
ergy or mobllizing. We are applying
them for the first time to the war The
magnitude Of the effort and achieve
ment approXlmates continually the
limits of possibility. Already In many
directions the frontiers are in sight
and 1t is necessary therefore not sim
ply to expand, but to go back over the
ground already covered and by thrifty
and harmonious methods CLEAN a
further reinforcement of war power"
For this purpose, Colonel Churchill
says, 1t has been decided to form the
fifty departments of the ministry into
ten groups, each to be presided over by
an experienced officer of the ministry,
who will constitute council, the func-
tions of which will be similar to those
of the army council.

SOLDIERS WILL VOTE

Soldiers will not be deprived Of the
privilege of voting this year even
though absent from their home state,
but will be allowed to use the absent
voters ballot 70 rthe November elec
ton. The absent voters ballot is a
new thing in Ohio this year. 1t will
effect many Mercer county men who
will be included in the U. S. military
service by that time and who would
otherwise be deprived of their vote
The men must make application tc
the clerk of the Election Board and
give the address at which they will
be at election time, or If unable to
do this they must notify the clerk as
soon as they ascertain this. Thus
every soldier will be enabled to vote
The experiment will be watched with
interest.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1917-09-07

active service will be only for the dura-
ton Of the war. The men will receive
500 a month and 75 cents a day for
food allowance, shelter and clothing,
though It is suggested that the work
will be facilitated If they buy their
own uniforms before the camp opens.
OF the candidates thus far accepted
twenty-five are continental Americans,
with Porto Rico as their legal resi-
dence. The others are native Porto
Ricans. Colonel Townshend reported
to Arthur Yager, governor of the island,
that he is much pleased with the gen.
eral fitness of the accepted candidates,
and he expects to see a fine lot of off,
GERS graduated. He has toured the en-
tire island to examine applicants, thus
insuring selection b. an experienced
officer.
The camp site at Cayey, where Henry
barracks are located, is considered the
best in the island for the purpose. The
location is high and healthful, and the
barracks have ample room to accommo-
date the student officers. The sandy
soil of the camp grounds quickly abb
serbs the rainfall, making drilling at
all times possible.
There is no doubt that through the
selective draft fine brigade will be
obtained. Adjutant General John A.
Wilson, exhibiting a letter received by
him day or two ago, said, There will
be no trouble in conscription as long as
this kind of spirit is shown"
The letter from Mayaguez, signed by
four young men, read:
"Signed below you will find the names
of we four young men who, full Of love
for the nation that has built the gen.
eral welfare Of our beloved island and
proud Of being citizens Of the greatest
nation In the world, are willing to con-
tribute, even with our lives, to the de-
fense of the kingdom of democracy in
the world an do hereby ask you to In
clude our names in the first recruiting

BURGLAR spy SAT
IN DUMA TWO YEARS
Friend of Lenine Betrayed Revo-
IutioniStS to Police For
Weekly Pay.

Petrograd.-Revelations of the com
mission Of inquiry into abuses Of the
former government show that for two
years there sat In the duma as re-
spected, influential member, burglar,
police spy, informer and organizer of
crime. This member was the promi-
nent Socialist, Roman Malinowsky
friend and protege of the notorious
Lenine, whose attempts to overthrow
the provisional government are max
ing such a stir.
Malinowsky's career, according to
the commission, began with pocket
picking and burglary, for which In
Moscow he was many times convicted.
Fifteen years ago Malinowsky decided
to enter politics and became associated
with the semi-revolutionary Socialist
party, to whom his criminal record was
unknown. He showed such revolu-
tionary ferver that he rapidly advanc-
ed and became friend Of Nikolai Le-
nine, who was then living In exile
abroad.
In 1910, the commission discovered,
Malinowsky began to cooperate with
the okhrana, or police security de-
partment, using his position with the
revolutionaries in order to obtain facts.
His plan was to spy and egg on his
comrades into demonstrations and 20
litical crimes and then betray them.
He was taken on at first at $25 q
month, but soon so distinguished him
self as spy and informer that he was
promoted and was sent abroad by the
police to watch and incite emigrant
revolutionaries. He still kept Lenine's
confidence, and this enabled him to
carry out his police work efficiently.
For two years MalinOwsky steadily
rose In favor both of the revolution
aries and Of the police. In May, 1912,
he was elected duma member. Both
revolutionaries and police, unknown to
one another, rejolced. Malinowsky be-
came 80 valuable that his salary from
the police was raised to $3.50 month
This, with his salary as duma member,
gave him an income of $1,000 year.
He drew continued praise for his ad-
mirable revolutionary work as duma
member and reported everything to the
security department. His speeches
were carefully prepared in advance
Some were written by Lenine, and all
were submitted before delivery to the
police. The inquiry commission found
corrected drafts Of the speeches in the
nolica nff1cpa

RISKED U BOAT FOR PIG.
Germans Got Porker, but Barely Es-

An Atlantic Port.-A desire for the
luxury Of pork chops and other savory
attributes of the pig inspired the COM
mauder Of a German submarine on
June 20 Off the Azores to risk his boat
to make fine, squealing porker pris-
oner Of war. The pig belonged to the
Norwegian sailing ship siraa, and the
men of the submarine chased 1t around
the deck several times before they cap
tured it and bore it squealing to the
submarine.
An enemy destroyer had been sighted
bearing down on the submarine, and
she got below the surface just in time
to avoid a shell that struck close to the
spot where she had taken the pig pris-
oner.
The destroyer took aboard the crew
of the Siraa, which had been destroyed
by bombs, and they arrived at an
American port.
