SEES NO CHANCE

Ohio Attorney General Declares Eff

Charges Useless.

By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, December 25.-
Gov. Donahey was advised by At
torney General Crabbe yesterday that
any effort to seek a readjustment of
Ohio coal freight rates at this time
as a means of relieving the mining
situation in the State virtually would
be useless. His advice was given in
response to a request of the govern
or's September Is, to prosecute ac-
tons either before the State Utilities
Commission or the Interstate Com
merce Commission to obtain a reduc-
ton on freight rates on Ohio coal.
The attorney general stated that in
asmuch as the Interstate Commerce
Commission has assumed jurisdiction
over all State rates that would CON
fiict to any great extent with inter-
state rates, and only Is months ago
revised rates pertaining to Ohio coal
in competition with West Virginia
and Kentucky coal, it would be use
less to try to obtain relief through
the Federal commission.
He also pointed out that there is
not now pending before the State
commission any case questioning coal
rates which. he could prosecute to
conclusion, but asserted that should

JENNINGS WILL

to find man whose testimony may

county clerks throughout the country

will two-thirds of the s6.000,000 es-

of young people. 1t is estimated the
income from the endowment should
be upward of 100000 a year for

DOUARNENEz ROW
BUT ONE OF MANY
Brittany Town, Accused of
Waving Red Flag, Always
ReStiVe.

Douarnenez is running true to form.
Newspapers say the town is waving
the red flag in the face of the repub.
lie of France. but the Bretons have
been known to display the same res
tive spirit at various times in the
past according to bulletin from the
Washington headquarters of the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Though the Bretons, in the heart
of whose homeland so many of the
American doughboys landed when
they disembarked at Brest, are peace
full and homeloving, they have some
times rebelled. In the fifth century,
brother-in-law of Duke Francis IL
wrote his kinsman: Monseigneur l
declare to God, would rather be the
ruler of million of wild boars than
of such people as are your Bretons.
People Are PiOus.
The curSory traveller would not
suspect the sleepy little village,
whose fishing smacks with their red
and brown sails and blue and brown
fish nets made its water front happy
haunt of artists of all nationalities,
of being susceptible to emotional out
bursts. But the relentless fight which
these men must put up against the
hungry. dangerous waters of the
ocean have given them a lively, but
termination and a piety as distin-,
guished as their bravery.
I'm those early days the little sea-
side towns. with their counts and
other dignitaries, sometimes as i'm
portant as bishops, like those of
Rouen, or even their dukes, like those
of Nantes, had more individuality
than they boast today. But Douar-
nenez, with about Ii 900 people, is one

Down below the Kaminari-mon-the

misery called the Inn Of the Pale
Pearl. The turbid river that creeps
through the town of Mitagiri deposits
yellow mud against the very wall.
Here each night collect the human
scum and scour of the cutters, the
stencil of whose villainous bodies
nights unavaillngly with the sitting
odor Of horse-meat and fsh-fesh.
On this night the Inn Of the Pale
Pearl was full to suffocation. Itoia,

from the floor. giving the wound the
appearance of age. The white man
moaned and stirred; his arms and legs
twitched, but ESQ well had the braves
done their work) his eyes showed no
signs Of opening.
Kayama moistened dirt from the
floor, difficult because Of his dry, nerv-
GUS mouth cavern. He noted with sat
isfaction that the yellow mud. ground
into the mating, was the color Of his
own skin. This he spread upon the
chest and entire body of the other,
and saw that the stain SO improvised
matched faultlessly with the tan of
the mans face and hands.
He slipped off the bandage from his
arm, and the patch from his eye, ad-
justing them in proper place on his
double. Even without the change in
attire which would come, he saw him
self, as in mirror of polished steel.
There was Kayama! There, upon the
floor!
The servants from the house of the
Thunder Gate, from Aochi-San his ia
ther, would, sooner or later, come to
the Inn of the Pale Pearl for Kayama.
They would take this impostor, who
would be in no condition to be ques,
toned for hours, doubtless. The white
man would be permitted to sleep until
morning. By morning he, Kayama,
would be far away, with the girl and
the money. 1t was we'll

that be enough? The arm of Aochi-
San was long, as the sword of the
household was sharp. Fool that he had
been, to think that he could slip from
the village, unseen, unfollowed. The
bag Of gold-it would not be forgiven,
save time intervene, and Aochi- San
feel the need of his son to step into
his place and worship him when he
departed.
