Cincinnati O.-Four employees of the
Ford Motor Co. Lincoln avenue, near
Reading road, were killed and one
other was injured seriously when a
giant enameling oven, on the fourth
floor of the building, exploded, tearing
away windows and fixtures. Two as.
s1tants In the room, Harry Prickett

OF flame that swept through the burst
doors, and escaped injury. Ambu-
lances from the Ford factory and po-
lice patrols conveyed the injured to-
hospitals. Special corps of fire fight
ers hurried to the place, under the di-
rection of Chief Houston. Physicians
and surgeons from the General Hos
pital raced in high-power automobiles
to lend aid. George C. Nichols, gen.
eral manager of the Cincinnati factory,
took personal charge of the work of
rescue. A number of automobile parts
had been dipped in an enameling tank
and hung in an oven for drying. Ac-
cording to statement made to Build
ing Commissioner George Rendigs by
Mr.. Nichols, the men had been warned
to allow an air vent, or safety valve,
on the tank to remain open. In their
hurry to dry the automobile parts
quickly, they closed the vent. Accu-
mulating gases caused the explosion,
the second to occur in the same de-
partment since the opening of the new
factory.

HOSPITALS MUST

UNLESS RUN FOR STRICTLY
CHARITABLE PURPOSES, SAYS
OHIO SUPREME COURT.
HAVE EVADED ASSESSMENTS
many institutions to Be Forced to
Weigh in AS Result of Decision
Disclosed That Institution Refused
Patients Without Guaranty of Pay.
Western Newspaper Union News servic.

western Newspaper Union News Services.
Columbus, O.-Private hospitals,
which have been evading assessment
for taxation on the plea that they are
public charitable Institutions, will be
brought to sharp account if the taxa
tlon officials follow the rules laid down
by the supreme court. The decision
is a strict application of the constitu-
tional provisions that only institutions
used for public charitable purposes
shall be exempted from taxation.
The case came from Cleveland,
where the managers of Grace Hospital
were successful in enjoining the coun-
ty treasurer from collecting the taxes
claimed. Their contention, which is
sustained, is that they have right to
take pay-patients on condition that the
funds derived from the pay-patients
we're used to create charitable trust
fund for charity patients. In amplify-
ing the issue, the supreme court added
comment which will operate, if prop
erly applied, to unmask many in
stances in which the charitable cloak
is used for real tax evasion purposes.
The real smashing part Of the de-
cision is contained in this statment:
"a public charitable hospital can not
receive pay patients to such an ex-
tent as will exhaust its accommoda.
tions so that it can not receive and ex.
tend hospital service to the usual and
ordinary number of INDECENT patients
applying for admission under proper
rules and regulations adopted by the
authority managing and controlling
the operation of such hospital
In the capital exemption of hospital
property has been general. One insti.
tuition which refuses to receive pa
tients without guaranty of payment,
and which has been earning dividends
for the owner, escapes taxation on the
ground that it is charitable With the
demand of all communities for greater
revenues, this matter is likely to de
mand a share Of attention from public
officials.

VIENNA NOTE DEFIANT
AUSTRIA BACKS GERMANY IN
U-BoAT WARFARE.
Declares All Armed Ships Are Pirates
Held Responsible for Losses
They Suffer.

London, March S.-The American
ed the reply of the Austrian govern
ment to the American note inquiring
as to the position of the Austrian gov
ernment in regard to unrestricted sub
marine warfare, according to Vienna
dispatch received on Tuesday.
The reply declares that neutrals are
responsible for losses they suffer by
entering territory where warlike op-
erations are taking place.
The reply of Austria states that
promises made in previous notes con-
corning the warning to neutral vessels
do not apply to armed merchant ships,
which may be considered as pirates
and sunk accordingly.
The reply says that whatever atti-
tude the Washington cabinet may take
as to individual questions raised here"
the Austro-Hungarian government is
essentially in accord with the Ameri-
can government in regard to the pro-
lection of neutrals against endanger-
ing their lives" The memorandum
then maintains that neutral subjects
have to bear themselves all losses they
suffer by entering territory where war
like operatiOn5 are taking place"
After lengthy discussion Of the
British blockade, which it declares is
illegal, the memorandum continues !:
'The principle that neutrals should en-
joy in wartime the advantages of the
freedom Of the seas refers only to neu-
tral vessels and not to neutral persons
aboard enemy vessels"
The reply further contends that bel
ligerents are entitled to decide for
themselves what measures should be
taken against an enemy in sea traffic

WILSON WILL ARM U. S. SHIPS
President Advised That He Has Power
to Act-WiII Call Extra Session
of Congress.

Washington, March 9-The senate
Of the United States having agreed
to curb filibustering, President Wilson
has determined to call congress in
extra session about April 1.
When the congress reassembles it
will find that the president has acted
in the matter of arming merchant
ships. 1t will not be requested to con-
fer such authority upon the chief ex-
ecutive.
1t may be asked to empower him
to employ "such other instrumental
ties and methods as may in his
judgment be necessary and adequate
to protect American vessels and
American citizens In their lawful and
peaceful pursuits upon the high seas.
1t will be asked to make an appro-
priation of $1O0OOO,0OO for the presi-
dents use in this connection, the
money to be raised, as was proposed,
by the issue of 3 per cent bonds.

LACK OF MATERIAL HANDICAP
Operators in the Buckeye Field AS
Well AS Others Forcing the Pro-
duction of Crude.

Lima, O.-In the past few days it
has been possible to complete a great
deal of work in the fields that had
been delayed, and the starting of new
work was also given an impetus.
However, there is still handicap to
development work, over which there
does not appear to be any immediate
relief, and that is the matter of ma
terial
At this time the manufacturers do
not seem to be able to keep pace with
the demand for pipe. Another factor
is the fact that with the prevailing
high market it is more difficult to Sc
cure secondhand materials, as no pro-
Queer will abandon a well that is max
ing even a very small quantity of
crude.
Operators in all Of the old districts
are taking special cars to make the
wells produce as much as possible,
and in considering the production, it
is taken in the aggregate, as under
present conditions, with no new pools
in sight, it is anticipated that the old
fields will be called upon to furnish
the bulk of the production.

Death KneII Sounded.

Because it was overlooked and be-
cause of an opinion rendered by Atty.
Gen. Joseph McGhee, the bill by Sena.
tor Hugh r. Gilmore, of Preble, to
amend the Valentine antitrust act Is
doomed to die. Its author, it is learn.
ed, does not intend to push it. This
news will be unsatisfactory to diversi.
fed interests, represented in state as
sociations, which urged its passage in
kilograms to Senators. The number OF
these messages and the opportunities
made first aroused the suspicious of
its sponsor, Senator Gilmore, as to it's
effect. He asked an opinion from tho
Attorney General. The review, from
legal standpoint, was unfavorable
the bill. In concluding an eight-page
discussion of the Valentine act, which
has stood for almost a score of years
without change, the Attorney General
says: Answering the inquiry direct
ly, the effect of this bill upon the Val
entine law will be to render it less
efficacious and it's enforcement more
difficult by removing all acts now in
contravention of its terms as pure
matter of law, and making them only
conditionally so when found by the
verdict Of jury or judgment of a
court"

Would Extend Terms.

Renewal of the proposal which al
most passed the House two years ago,
relative to the extension of the terms
of all public officials, was made by
Representative M. Tolman, of Athens.
1t is in the form of proposed amend
ment to the constitution, and fixes the
terms Of the Governor and other state
officers. as well as members of the
General Assembly, at four years.
County Commissioners are given six
years, but all others, municipal and
township included, are made four
years, with ineligibility for second
term. Provision is made for the in
crease of representation of counties in
the General Assembly. 1t is unlikely,
though, that the amendment will be
submitted to the people.
