HARTFORD COUNTY JANUARY g. 1922

f. Keown has been qualified and
sworn in, but will not in fact assume
the duties of the office until July the
first, next, that being the beginning
OF the new tax year. Mr.. Keown has
had considerable experience as depu-
ty assessor and Tax Commissioner.
and comes to the office with knowl-
edge of the duties, and may be count
ed upon to discharge them properly
and in a manner as to meet with the
approval of those who know what the
duties imposed upon County Tax
Commissioner are.
C. S. Monkey, the County Surveyor,
who succeeded himself. seems to
have a monopoly on that office. as
he has been filling that position
since, we'll. the memory of the old
est inhabitant runneth not TO the con-
trary. 1t is said that his vote came
largely from the females of the spe-
cies, presumably on acc bunt OF his
handsome appearance as fc phiuoS
binself upon Icing good-lo1klng.ev-
en- excellng John Henry Thcmas in
that respect.
Bill Hines the coroner-elect, did
not take kindly to holding inquests
and therefore failed to qualify. So
that office at present is left vacant.
Judges Wilson and Cary, who are
to serve this district in the capacity
of Judge and Commonwealth At
torney, respectively, are moderately
young men. said TO be well versed In
the law, and as a matter of course
ambitious to make for themselves a
place in public estimation, and we
have no doubt will render capable and
faithful service. While practically
strangers to us personally, one Of
them we know only by hearing him
spoken of. yet we, jointly with the
other Ohio Countians, lay claim TO a
one-fourth ownership of the new
Circuit Judge and Comr' onwealth
Attorney.

DIES IN WASHINGTON

Boise Penrose. u. S. Senator from
Pennsylvania, died at his apartments
in Washington, ID. c., Dec. 81, of
pulmonary thrombosis. The Senior
Senator from Pennsylvania. belonged
to what is commonly spoken of as
1.-THE Old Guard" of the conservation
order. He figured strongly in the
memorable campaign between Taft
and Roosevelt, during the division
of the Republican party In 1912, and
to him more, perhaps, than any 9TH
err individual within the whole coun-
try, went the credit of Tafts nomina-
ton. Penrose rarely ever delivered
addresses while in the Senate, but
rather made himself famous by his
work. by the things he was able to
do. His tenure in the chief house
of the legislative department dated
back to the year 1897, having been
first elected in that year.
Senator Penrose was an ardent
supporter of protective tariff poll
cies and his main hobby was said to
have been the tariff.
The deceased Senator was a man OF
enormous size, weighing approx
mately 800 pounds. he was a bach
elor and a man OF considerable
wealth.

TOKIO ACCEPTS ROOT
RULES ON SUB CRAFT
Italy's Assent Alone Lack
ing To Ban Raids On
Trade Ships.

Washington, Jan. AFTER five
day New Years breathing space, the
arms negotiations were resumed to-
day with an impetus that swept
some of the most troublesome prob
lens Of the conference almost to the
point Of decision.
A final agreement was in sight on
the question of revised Chinese
tariff After long argument the
tariff subcommittee came together
on proposal to increase China's
tariff schedules under an interna-
tional commission plan, and the Far
Eastern committee of the whole is
expected to ratify the decision to-
morrow.
Among the naval experts so much
progress was made with technical de-
tails of the naval limitation plan that
in some quarters it was declared fl
nal disposition of the subject was
only a question of hours Precise
regulations for scrapping ships and
details of replacement were number
ed among the, days agreements in the
navel subcommittee.
On the question of submarine reg
ulations, which has waited on fur
ther advices from the foreign capt.
tails, Japan contributed another step
fNtr atA n ~ let NV Ataff
principle the Root resolutions pro-
posing to outlaw the use of subma-
rines against merchant vessels and
TO make violations of submarine reg
3ulations acts of piracy. Italy alone
remains to accept the propositions
and discussion by the full naval
committee may take place late to-
morrow.
In some quarters considerable dis
cussion is believed likely before there
is definite decision on the Root
submarine proposals. France has in
dicated a desire to see some OF the
terms of the resolutions fully dis
cussed and clearly defined, and altho
the French said tonight they did not
propose to press the point, 1t was In
dicated that some troublesome points
probably would be injected into the
conversations sooner or later, by
some of the foreign powers.
Meantime. the American advisory
committee met and canvassed opin-
ions on the submarine question with
the result that the committees pre-
vious position for retention of under
water craft within strict regulations
was reaffirmed. Members said a
survey of editorial comment and pub
! lie opinion in general convinced them
that the American people strongly
desired that submarine operations be
brought within the considerations of
human warfare.

One Justice-Elcct Failed to Qualify
Court Refuses To En-
pIoy County Agent.

The Ohio County Fiscal Court,
composed of the newly elected men,
bers with one exception, met in its
regular January Session Tuesday.
Mr.. Clinton Igleheart. who was
elected from the district formerly
known as the Csntertown, but now
district No. 2, failed to qualify, due
to the fact that he is postmaster at
Equality and the officers being in
compatible. His acceptance OF the
office of Justice OF the Peace would
have necessitated his reslgning the
postmastership, which he at the last,
decided not to do. Squire w. c..
Knott who was formerally magistrate
from the district by appointment, is
continuing in the position and will
remain n member of the Court, so
we are informed. until his successor
is appointed and qualified.

siderable volume of business, amongst
which was the rejection of the pro-
position to continue the employment
OF County Agent or Farm Demon
strator. The motion for the appro-
priation or employment having lost
blythe vote of to 5.
The Court has been doing quite a
bit of thinking and discussing ways
and means by which the public roads
and bridges are to be maintained and
cared for. but at press hour decf-
sion on permanent arrangements had
not been announced.

GRIM NOTICE TO Be
SERVED ON P0lNCARE
England Is Determined TO Preserve
D~ardaneIIes From Turkish
Control

London.-The conference between
Premier PoIncare and Lord Curzon
will be renewed Mt Paris. II Is be-
iieved, however. that Instructions have
been sem to the British foreign secre-
tary to inform NJ. poIncare In the most
emphatic manner that Great Britain is
determined to preserve the Dardanelles
straits from Turkish control.
At the same time. special efforts VIII
be continued to win Rumanla and .Iugo
Slsvia To the British point of view.
especially since these powers appar-
emily are h~esIfatIng whether to favor
the British or the French side.
In some quarters. 1t was ever de-
cIared that Lord Curzon's instructions
amounted virtually to defying France
to support the Turks, the %intlmatIon
that Inasmueh ms France and Italy had
signed left banded agreements with
the Kemalists. 1t was not good taste
for them to insist that Great Britain
fall In line with their policy.
Regarding Chanak, a key position on
the straits, II is not doubted that the
British intend to remain there and at
the same time II is pointed out that
the British naval guns are able 10
sweep all the roads for miles leading
to Chanak and that the ships have
orders to begin firing at the first indi-
cation OF the approach OF Turkish
troops.

FORD ADVISES COAL
BUYERS TO GO SLOW
Auto Manufacturer Says Price Of Coal
viii Drop Considerably Before
Spring

Detroit.-Henry Ford. In a recent In
tervlew, advises she people of the
country to buy as little coal as posi-
Bile now" declaring coal prices are
tumbling."
There is enough coal above ground
to run the country for a long time"
Mfr. Ford says. 1.-The high prices were
made because the supply was held
back from the market. But the price
Is falling rapidly. We bought 500
airs of coal In Toledo for SIS a ton.
That of course includes the freight
rate from the mines to Toledo. At
Cincinnati, we arranged for a 60Aday
supply OF coal for approximately SO
a ton at the mines. And that is 81
a ton less than what the brokers paid
for Ii. The brokers have held their
coal so long that their profits have
been wiped and now they must
unload at any price. Before spring
you'll see coal sell for a good
deal below SO a ton"
