Reports are being circulated by the
Koreans that the death of former En-
peror vi Heui was due to suicide, which
was committed as a protest against the
projected marriage of the heir to the

WARR|5K WORK
ASkSPRES|DENT
FOR s3,000,000
Bureau Crippled by Fail
ure of Congress to
Provide Funds.

Washington. March 17.-Secretary
Glass has asked President Wilson to set
aside more than $3,OOO.OO0 from the
presidential war emergency fund to cover
the cost of continued operation Of the
war risk insurance bureau for the next
few months. until congress can remedy
its recent failure to appropriate funds
for the bureau.
The president has not yet given an
answer. If he does not make the money
available the activities of the war risk
bureau may be greatly curtailed
1t was officially stated today that the
bureau has funds to cover allotment and
allowance checks to be sent out during
the remainder of March and during April.
This really means March allowances,
since the checks are distributed one
month late. Unless some available funds
are found by early in May, allotment
and allowance checks may be greatly de-
layed.
The funds asked Of the president would
be spent only for administrative expen-
ses of physical operations of the bureau
and not for actual covering of allotment
and allowance checks. With approx
mately $1,000 employees, the bureaus
payroll now is more than 81 900 900 a
lotments. allowances, insurance and
now are mailed monthly,
in the aggregate to more than
$40 100000. Nearly half of this sum
comes from the war department and rep
resents soldiers allotments.
There is no shortage in the funds for
since this is deducted from
soldiers pay. but the funds available for
allowances added to the allotments are
limited
Secretary Glass explained today that
altho he has not specifically recommended
early convening of congress to deal with
this situation. he has presented certain
facts in regard to the government |
financial situation from which the presi- |
dent may make his own deductions. In
this connection. it was learned today, |
other cabinet makers have called the at |
tention of the president to reports of
serious conditions in their respective de- |
partments. caused by failure of congress
TO appropriate funds.

SENIORS RENEW YOUTH

Shades of their kindergarten days
were reflected upon the senior boys
and girls of the high school last Fri
day morning when, the girls garbed
in short dresses, bedecked with rain
bow ribbon and the ime-honored hair
braids hanging recumbent upon their
backs; and the boys in abbreviated
trousers and garish cravats, wended
their way to the school rooms. Zest
was added by a few of the girls who
brought their dolls, Teddy bears, etc.,
and the three little maids who peered
coyly from behind a parasol.
Supt. Conkle relinquished the iron
hand and turned the usual morning
chapel exercises over to the seniors.
Each one was expected to make a
speech or sing song, and it is said
that some of the efforts were heart
rending. "Good Morning to You,'
"Three Blind Mice" and the eternal
"Ring -around-the-Rosey" were brot
out from their long confinement and
enhanced the picture of the "early
days."
A half holiday was given the "little
ones" in the afternoon and they were
invited to the home of one of their
number, Miss Frances VanEpp, where
they enjoyed stick candy, animal
crackers and sundry other reminders
of childhood.

R ESTABLISHES
DEATH OF COMRADE

nest Gault, son of Mr.. and
Mr. Gault of Lafayette, was
one ina county's boys to make
the sacrifice in the world
war, EN- accepted as fact for
some tifiie BY both the family and
friends, although no definite informa-
tion has ever been received.
His death, however, now seems to
have been established by statement
made by Geo. Howard, member Of
Gault's battalion, who returned to his
home in Medina on Wednesday of
last week.
Previous to last September, when
Gault is supposed to have lost his life,
Howard saw him often, he says. On
Sept. rs detachment to which both
men belonged was sent out to make
sacrifice attack" consisting Of the
taking of three towns and holding
them pending larger attack else
where. Later Gault was reported
missing and neither Howard or the
relatives and friends have heard Of him
from that time.
In connection with the Gault case
Walter Ulmer, who also returned
home last week, relates the following
peculiar circumstance. He states that
about a month ago, while in Wash
ington, a letter he had sent abroad
was returned to him undelivered. On
the back of the envelope was Gault's
name and company address and g
word of cordial greeting to Ulmer
tho the latter says he was not per.
sonally acquainted with Gault.

Medina SENTIMENT
AGAINST time CHANGE

Concerning the proposed change in
time March 80, whereby clocks would
be turned ahead another hour, as di-
rected by the government, the pre-
5vailing sentiment in Medina and vi
cinity is decided unfavorable.
IA Business houses as well as the fac
tory companies say they are we'll sat
isfied with the present arrangement,
and farmers, on whom the change
would work the greatest inconyen-
ience are a unit against it.
1t, is commonly understood that
banks, postoffices and railroads, under
the jurisdiction of the government
must comply with the federal order
Be this as it may, Medina banking
officials do not. favor another change
in time, and, even if compelled to
advance the long pointer an hour, are
privileged to alter their hours OF
opening and closing, which they prob
.ably would do, thus offsetting the
mandatory order of the government.

Germs, for the most part, state that

favor a change. One concern, how
ever, frankly stated that it would not

ers do.
The council placed itself on recort
some weeks ago as against the pro
posed change, and the Board of Trade
will take the question under advise
ment at its regular meeting next Wee
nesday night.
What the general run Of household
ers propose to do is impossible tt
forecast with certainty, but it is prob
able that the sentiment prevailing
among the business interests of thu
community will be reflected in thu
homes.

HOUSE BURGLARIzED
WEDNESDAY MORNING

Charley Dannley takes a philosoph-
ical view Of burglary early We'd
nesday morning at his home, 337 N.
Broadway, when the intruder got
away with about SO in money, but
left Charley his pants, altho the gar
ment had a close call, being dropped
by the burglar near the back door as
he made hurried exit.
The burglary occurred about a
o'clock, or earlier, as it was about
4:15 when Mrs. Lanphear, who re-
sides at the Dannley home, heard foot
steps in the house. Thinking it was
Charley, Mrs. Lanphear called to him,
when she saw the burglar pass quick
ly thru an adjoining room toward the
rear door, from whence he escaped.
He was masked.
\ Investigation disclosed that the burg
lar had ransacked about every bureau
and commode drawer in the house, be-
sides going thru Dannley's breeches,
in which, fortunately, was but 2d
cents. y.
Deputy Marshal Fred Eckert and
Nightwatchman A. F. Hange were
notified and hurried to the Dannley
home, but their quest was futile. The
bird had flown.
Dannley believes the burglar enter.
ed thru a cellar window that was
open and thence thru a living room
door that. t.was unlocked.

operative Organization.

The Northeastern Ohio Milk Pro-
ducers' Association will incorporate

pose oil buying and selling milk OF its
stockholders. The company sells
stock for !p5 a share.
The con pany agrees to sell and

to the best advantage of the produc-
er, and t! subscribers agree to exc
cute q contract with the company

OIL FIELD AREA
GROWING LARGER
REMARKABLE WELLS
AT SHALLOW DEPTH
Chatham One of the Busiest Spots
M In the Central Ohio
Ssf Oil Field.

Probably there is no buster spot
in the Central Ohio oil field right now
thansin Chatham township, this coun-
ty. s
This field is showing some very re-
markable wells for a shallow field,
the oil being found around 500 feet
and Of a heavy lubricant grade.
Sofar close to fifty wells have been
drilled and the opening of spring will
see a grand rush for the new dig
gings. The field is little spotted,
although few dry holes have been
discovered as yet, and the producing
area is spreading out.
Every town lot and piece of acreage
within miles Of the new pool have
been taken under lease and the well
owners are playing the game for all
it is worth. Most of the land is in
small farms, altho there is some large
acreage under lease.
There are thirteen drilling machines
at work in the efield and more will
be put at work as soon as they can
be secured.
The field appears to be working
westward from Chatham center and
no doubt will work north, as there
is some production in the Litchfield
section.
Gas is found in quantities in Litch-
field township to the north of Chat
ham and in Harrisville township to
the south, as we'll as Lafayette town
ship to the east, which is one of the
active gas drilling townships Of the
county.
