HOUSE GOES UP IN FLAMES

The home of H. S. Simmons, about
two miles northeast of Mendon, was de-
stroyed by fire, together with its con-
tents, last Sunday, while the family was
visiting several miles away. A coal oil
stove is blamed for the catastrophe. A

barn when the fire was first noticed, but
their attempts to extinguish it were
unavailing, and it was only by the
aid of neighbors that a barn and tool
shed were saved. The loss is placed at

for Second Time.
CEREMONY At The CAPITOL
Proceedings Marked by Unusual
soiemnIty and Show Of Patriotism
Marshall Takes Oath as Vice Pres

BY EDWARD q. CLARK.

Washington, March 5.-Today, with
all due ceremony and solemnity, Wood
row Wilson and Thomas r. Marshall
were inaugurated president and vice
president Of the United States respec-
lively, for the second time.
For several nights prior to the in
Ruguration, Washington was a flood of
light. Thousands of American citizens
came to the capital of their nation
from all over the United States to wit
ness the ceremonies attending the in
auguration. The situation of the coun-
try in reference to its foreign relations
added more than a touch of serious
ness and distinct flavor of patriotism
to the entire proceedings. Washington
is city Of flags at all times, but 1t
became ten times a city of flags one
day before the ceremonies of inaugu-
ration.
President Wilson drove from the White
House to the capitol with his wife at his
side. In the. carriage with him were
two members of the congressional COM
mittee which had general charge of
the ceremonies, and of which Senator
Overman Of North Carolina is chair
man.
Vice President Marshall, with Mrs.
Marshall in the carriage with him, was
escorted in like manner to the capitol.
Big Crowds, Many Flags.
From an early hour the sidewalks
were crowded with persons waiting to
see the president and "the first lady
Of the land" pass along the avenue to
the place Of the oath-taking. All the
windows commanding view Of Penn
sylvania avenue also were crowded

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus.-Stiff opposition to the
emasculation of the Massachusetts
form of ballot, as proposed
by some of the political leaders
at the hearing upon the cleo
tion code found in the bill of Senator
Charles Mooney, of Cleveland, is being
voiced by other leaders. There is pro-
found objection to the placing upon
the official ballot of space in which
the voter may direct the casting of his
sunrage for all the candidates upon a
certain ticket.
John A. O'Dwyer, of Toledo, pointed
out that this did not change the pres
ent law so far as the effect was con-
cerned. There is feeling that per-
haps the present session may witness
the substantial agreement of political
leaders and legislative members upon
some sort of a bill, and this feeling
will dominate the second gathering of
the committee.

BACKING INQUIRY
KEEPS LAWMAKERS FROM TAX
ING A HAND-ON TRAIL OF
COMMON CARRIERS.
CARRIERS FUEL COMES FIRST
Get Cars For company's Use Only,
They Say-There Are Enough Emp
ties For Industrial Plants, Public
Utilities Commission Is Told.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Columbus, O.-While the General AS
sembly was expressing its judgment
that it ought not to interfere in the
inquiry into the high cost of food COM
modities and coal because the Federal
Government has the matter in charge,
the coal men we're pursuing the rail-
ways before the Utilities Commission
The merry y-go-round was complete
when the railway men in turn COM
planned of the enormously increased
price they must pay for fuel coal.
Thus far, aside from general eco
nomic conditions, no one has been
found on whom to place the blame for
the inflated prices from which the con-
sumers are suffering, and an imme-
diate favorable result of the search
is not in sight
Coal men are pressing hard, in the
coal congestion hearing before the
Utilities Commission, to establish
their claim of discrimination by the
railways against the coal mines of the
state. Testimony was given by
Fred w. Braggins, of the Lorain Coal
and Dock Co., and F. A. Prendergast,
Of the Baltimore & Ohio Coal Co., that
when operators were offered cars to
be loaded with railway fuel and de-
cline the business at the price arbi-
trarily fixed by the railways, at about
one-half or one-third of the market
price, they were unable following that
to get the usual number of cars to be
loaded with commercial coal; that
loaded cars are left standing at the
mines for. days, while loaded cars for
railway fuel are hurried out daily.
The showing is such that the com
mission served a written notice on the
Baltimore G. Ohio Railway Co. to sup
ply the original reports from the office
at Wheeling, showing daily reports OF
cars for loading and the distribution
to coal mines for railway fuel, and
cars sent to industries, many of which
are running from II to "a hours day
The coal men claim these records
will show that coal mines get what
cars are left after two preferential de
mands are met. One preferential de
mand is for railway fuel the other fol
the steel trade and munition plants
running overtime. Coal men say they
are getting as low as II per cent ol
their capacity of cars while munitior
plants are receiving all the cars they
say they can load daily.

SCARCITY in FARM HANDS
Country Youths Attention Having
Been Drawn Away To City, 'Tis
Said-Situation Looks Serious.

Cleveland, O.-Munitions }and auto
mobile factories are draining Ohio
farms of labor and farmers face a
shortage of help as the time for spring
plowing and sowing draws near. So
serious is the labor shortage in the
agricultural districts of the state, an
investigation shows, that in many sec
tions farmers who have retired, leav-
ing the operation of their farms to
hired hands, have been forced to re-
sumo activities. Many farmers have
been unable to get help at all and
have put up their farms for sale. The
number of such sales is the largest in
recent years.
In most sections of the state the
prevailing high prices for farm prod
ucts and the shortage of them have
led farmers to prepare to increase
their production. This is especially
true in the case of potatoes and wheat
As a result good crops of both com
modities are expected, provided the
farmers can get the labor necessary to
handle the work.
Reports show that in most sections
of the state the outlook is good for an
excellent wheat crop.

were in the best condition.
When we returned home in 1898

(which was good record, but it can
not compare with the health record on
the Mexican border. Out of 1900 Ohio

and on the border for about the same
length of time we were away in '98 ]
do not think the losses will exceed 80
men. There was no typhoid and prac

Improved sanitation and the fact
that the boys were kept too busy tc
get sick, Speaks says, is responsible
in large measure for the good record
