THREE SLAYERS WILL
 BE EXECUTED TONIGHT
Ohio Murderers and Man Who Hired Them Lose
 Clemency Appeal

Columbus, O., Sept. Pl-"Some time tonight" the electric chair at the Ohio penitentiary will take three | lives in eXpiation of the 1880 mur- der" of Pomeroy's "hill of horrors" unless Governor Vic Donahey inter- yenes.
 The trio face execution for the murder of James McCumber. 65, who knew too much about the boot logging activities of John Bryant, 40, negro, one of the condemned men. Richard Rhoades, 29, and John Hedricll, 30. both white, the other doomed men, testified they got rid" of McCumber at the behest of Bryant, who. they said, offered them $50 each to get him out of the way. They actually received $50 be- tween them, it was brought out. Both Hedrick and Rhoades claim the other fired the fatal shot, which was fired after they had "slugged" McCumber. Hedrick pleaded guilty. while the other two were convicted at Pomoroy May 1.
 The three were convicted of the murder of James McCumber, March 15. Hedrick and Rhoades said they were employed by Bryant to do away with McCumber because he knew to much about Bryant's boot logging business.
 They said the Negro told them they would never want for any thing" but after the deed was ac- complished gave them only $50 to divide between them.
 Tn the absence of favorable word from the trial judge, prosecu- ting attorney and members of the jury, or any others. we see no req son for interference with the or dcrly processes of the court" said the clemency boards report. Final decision in pleas for mercy for the men was rested by the governor yesterday with the clemency board. Mrs. Hedrick, and her two children, pleaded yesterday with the chief ex- ecutive. He told them he would be guided by the decision of the board of clemency.
 Hedrick pleaded guilty at once, but Bryant and Rhoades entered not guilty pleas and were convicted by a jury.
 Who actually fired the shot that killed McCurber las never been de- tcrmined. HelriCll and Rhoades told conflicting stories. They said they "slugged" McCumber in his home and then compelled him to walk a distance of nearly five miles, before a bullet was put into his head. Each accuses tho other of firing the shot. They threw the body in an abon- doned cistern.

WOULD MAKE ARCH ST. CONTINUATION OF MAIN
Sponsors of Idea Would Start Park St. at
 South Church

Assured of hearing on the pro- posed widening of Arch street as soon as field engineers have trans ferred their notes to tentative maps, property owners sponsoring the movements today renewed their ac- tivities.
 After conferring today with the engineering department. members of the Arch Street Improvement asso- citation expressed confidence that the movement will get under way this month after nearly two years of agi- tation.
 Sponsors of the idea were today considering q suggestion that Main street be extended along the line Of Arch street and that the latter thor oughfare be known as Main street hereafter. They declare Arch street is the logical continuation of Main street since the curve is not as abrupt as is the east turn. They would have Park street begin at the South church corner, a change which they claim would round out the con- tour of that street as well.
 The work of removing trolley poles which had delayed setting back curbs has been completed. Field engineers have gathered all data necessary to the preparation Of maps showing proposed set-bacls and a public hearing now stands be- tween the present and the project jected highway. The item of cost is reduced 10 comparatively low consideration by the willingness of property owners to pay the costs of setting back curbs and waiving dam ages.

Troops Still On Duty.


 Manville, R. l., Sept. R-Peace hovered over this little textile center today despite the warlike aspect of the Manvile Jenckes Company plant, stil patrolled by steel helmeted na- tional guardsmen behind barbed wire, machine guns and searchlights. Riotous demonstrations on the Blackstone river bridge which result ed in injury to nine persons and damage to the mills had given way to peaceful picketing on the part of 1900 striking operatives and a re- opening of settlement negotiations under the leadership of Gov. Aram J. Pothier.
 A new peace offer. the terms of which have not been disclosed, will be presented to the workers today by their chief lieutenant, Horace A. Riviere, organizer of the United Textile Workers of America. Mill officials submitted their terms to Gov. Pothier and he in turn present cd them to the workers through Adiutant General Arthur c. Cole. commanding the 1O3rd field artillery detachment now in charge of the plant.
 General Cole and Riviere met on the barricaded bridge in front of tho plant last night. Ina conference on the Headline" established by his troops General Cole delivered the terms and received Riviere's prom ise of their submission to his workers and another conference today.
 Gov. Pothier is the newest media tor In the situation, the efforts of a federal conciliator to bring about . settlement last week having failed. The disagreement hinged on the ori- ginal dispute which resulted in the strike on August IS, the employment of three non-union loom fixers, whose discharge was demanded by the workers.
 Gov. Pothier conferred yesterday with mill officials. labor leaders and others In the state house at Provi- dence and later expressed confidence that a settlement could be made. He dcplored the necessity of troops in Manville, but sanctioned their pres ence and announced they would stay until order had been restored com pletely.
 The militiamen, with their hos pital and medical detachments. were firmly established in the mills today. Cots were brought in last night, the bridge barricades were erected, ma chine guns were amounted and all through the night searchlights play ed over the scene Of Tuesday nights rioting, where state troopers and sheriffs fired into mob of strikers
 One more sympathy strike was called yesterday when all but Is of the 800 workers in the Nourse mill of the Manville Jenckes company at Woonsocket walked out at noon. Previously 12,o0o operatives in the companys social mill at Woonsocket had declared sympathy strike.

This Is First Inland Flight of Government Dirigible Since Terrible Disaster Which Occurred One Year Ago Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 Floating over the same territory traversed by the illfated Shenan- doah year ago tomorrow, the army airship TC-5, semi-rigid ship, journed over Ohio today on a flight from Langley Field. Va. to Scott Field, Illinois.
 It was the first inland flight by government idirigible since the Shenandoah disaster.
 Sunshine and gloomy skies alter mated as the TC-5 swung along through the air, It entered the state near Belpre, after passing over Parkersburg, Va, at S:55 a. m. and journeyed over the southern half of Ohio at a good speed.
 The ship passed over Athens at 10 a. m. eastern standard time, and was flying so low that members of it crew waved gaily to people gath cred on the hill tops waiting for a glimpse of it.
 The southern Ohio hills which be- held the silvery glory of the Shen- andoah and then cradled its shat tered bulk, formed a vantage point for many persons to see the TC-5.
 But the sight of the lesser ship was denied citizens of Noble county, where the Shenandoah crashed, for the army dirigible skirted that i'm mediate vicinity, entering Ohio far ther south.
 Norfolk, Va, Sept. 2 tP)-The army dirigible TC-5 was en route to- day from Langley Field to Scott Field, Illinois, on what was said to be the first inland flight by gov crnment dirigible since the disaster to the navy's Shenandoah. It is eX- pected to arrive about noon today.

THE INCREASING HAZARD OF
IGNORANCE.
n, Do,
DIR. Roy Smith

Forty years ago the high school of Blue
Earth, Mimi, graduated it's first class which
consisted Of two members. This year Sc
young people received their diplomas from
the same school,
But the significance of this fact lies in
the further fact that Blue Earth had prac-
tically as many people living within its
bounds then as now-3,000 souls.
This means that the number of graduates
forty years.
In other words, the chances against a
boy or girl without high school educa-
ton are % times as great now as forty
years ago.
The pioneers who went into the wilder
ness to wrest living out Of the wilderness
knew nothing about tractors, cream separ-
ators, hard roads, radio market reports,
rural free delivery or scientific farming.
But they all started even.
The man who insists that his boy shall
"start in where he did, forgets that he
started with an even break. He had as
many advantages as any other youth, not
less.
In simple fairness he should make pre-
parations to let his son start in with an
even chance.
The boy who starts even is entitled to the
advantage of modern scientific and techni-
cal training, college instruction and the
latest mechanical equipment.
A college education does not guarantee
any man a successful career, but practical
experience has shown that his chances are
greatly increased thereby.
America has never known time when
her colleges were so crowded, her night
schools SO popular and her correspondence
schools serving so great host. The chances
against an ignorant man are growing con-
stantly greater and his opportunities are
narrowing daily.
The most profitable hours of any day
for any man are those which he spends en-
riching his mind, for the hazards of ignor-
ance are increasing rapidly.

the only hope Of righting the wrongs Of men lies
in the feeling produced in our blossoms by the
sight Of that flag.
Other flags means glorious past, this flag
a glorious future It is not so much the flag
of our fathers as it is the flag of our children,
and of all children's children yet unborn. It is
the flag of tomorrow. It is the signal of the
"Good Time Coming" It is not the flag of your
king-it is the flag of yourself and of all your
neighbors.
Don't be ashamed when your throat chokes
and the tears come, you see it flying from the
masts of our ships all the seas or floating from
every flagstaff of the Republic. You will never
have worthier emotion. Reverence it as you
would reverence the signature of the Deity.
Listen, SON! The band is playing the nation
al anthem-"The Star Spangled Banner!" They
have let loose Old Glory yonder. Stand up-and
others will stand with you.
This tribute to the flag is offered to the
country in appeal to all men and women of all
races, colors and tongues, that they may come
to understand that our flag is the symbol Of
liberty, and learn to Love it.-Alvin M. Owsley.

We wonder why it doesn't occur to people to
build monuments while they are living instead
of waiting for someone else to build them after
they are gone. We are thinking, right now
of how splendid monument someone in this
town could build by erecting new book shelf
in the Public Library and placing thousand or
$50 of the much needed books thereon. We can
think of no more effective way for an individual
Ito earn the everlasting gratitude of the people
of this vicinity than by bequeathing book fund
to the library. No one who has not worked on
and with the Library Board can realize the trag-
edy of trying to stretch the available resources
over all the needs Of the institution. When the
Operation expenses are paid (and they light
enough, goodness knowsD there is just NOTHING
left for the purchase of the new books And it
seems to be the expectation that there shall be
books in library! The Librarian and the Board
are frequently embarrassed by the indignant,
caustic and disappointed comments of library pa
irons who come expecting to find some much
talked-of book, only to be told that it is not
the shelves and cannot be ordered because there
is not money with which to pay for it. We are
all for having somebody build monument or
two-the seventy-fve or eighty club women of
the city might build one of very appreciate
size if they would all set about it unitedly. 1t
could be done!
