ment of Ohio. This commonwealth
was covered with vast forests of
eighty-eight different varieties Of
hardwood trees. The country had to
be made ready for agriculture, in
dustries had to be established and
cities and towns started. With the
wonderful showing that progress
started and has not ended, and to
this day Ohio has more cities than
any other state in the American Un-
ion and her industries and industrial
development have been marvellous.
These early settlers were engaged
strictly in pioneering. They were
not only Industrious but they were
aggressive and progressive. 1t seems
that they seized every opportunity
for advancement and gain. The fer
tile valleys of these rivers were pre-
pared for agriculture and as has
been observed the soil responded
most bountiously and these several
communities became and were at
tractive and prosperous and attract
ed large numbers of new settlers.
The people at this time were, and,
at all times since have been, sort OF

The settlers in the Ohio Com

rapidly. The settlers down the Ohio
river including the Miami Com
pany's purchase and embracing the
present city of Cincinnati fiourished
also. The richness of the soil and
many things attracted the attention
of prospective settlers and before
they were really aware these COM
munities had become active and
were showing very active life and
their encroachments upon the habits
of the Indians were sooner or later
to bring about friction between
these two contending forces as nat

INSURANCE inquiry
met With SILENCE
School Board and Select
men Fail to Answer
Letters

Displeased at the failure of the
selectmen to make reply to COM
muniCations relative to the recon-
mendations of the special committee
on fire insurance check-up, the COM
mittec voted last evening to write to
both departments again, requesting
that an indication of the intent of
each be given on or before Septem-
Der Is, On that date the committee
will meet to prepare a final report
to the common council.
Chairman c. ]. Dehm of the board
of fire commissioners was in attend
ance at the meeting by request and
stated that the recommended in
crease in the amount of fire insur-
ance carried on the central station
on Commercial street and the fire
alarm headquarters on Elm street
cannot be made effective this year
because of lack of funds in the ap-
preparation for the current fiscal
year. He said consideration will be
given to it when the budget for the
next fiscal year is compiled.
Superintendent j. l.. Doyle of the
public welfare department told the
committee the cost of the proposed
changes in fire insurance holdings
may prohibit the carrying out of the
committees recommendation this
year. The committee recommended
that all buildings on the town farm
property be insured by the public
welfare department and that the
present amounts be increased. Mr..
Doyle said the board would decide
the matter at a meeting on Sept. 3.
1t was reported that all the de-
partments in the city government of
which requests We're made to in
crease insurance are agreeable with
the exception of thetfire department
and the attitude of the board OF Sc
lectmen and the school board is not
known on account of their failure to

SAFE RESIS7S ATTACK
IN PLAINVILLE OFFICE
Yeggs Fooled in Attempt
to Rob Standard
Oil Co.
Especial to the Herald)

Plainville, Aug. 3O.-The safe at
the Standard Oil Co. distributing sta
ton on Railroad square was broken
open last night when burglars made
their fifth break in Plainville within
week, but, as was the case in every
other attempt. their loot was too
small to repay them for their efforts
Only $3.50 in the petty cash draw
er was taken. as the inner safe, con-
tanning much larger sum, success
fully resisted all efforts to open it.
The group Of buildings and tanks,
located behind the railroad station,
is surrounded by a high wire fence
topped with barbed wire. 1t is be-
lieved that the thieves scaled this at
point where pipes were piled
against the barrier. They then broke
open the Toulouse and took out a
large miscellaneous collection of
tools. A small window in the Of
flee had been left unlocked, and it
is thought that one man entered
through this and then, failing in his
efforts to unlock the door, unfas-
tened a larger window in the main
office and admitted confederate.
The safe is located in small
closet-like room just large enough
to accommodate 1t. The door to this
was unlocked and the burglars at
tacl.aJ tba cnfa cop,Iip t;on with a
hammer and chisel. tearing it loose
from the outer door. which they
opened. They ripped up the second
metal door and pulled out the draw
ers, from one of which they extract
ed the petty cash. This amounted
to $3.50. Local Manager Ralph D.
Smith said this morning. The rest
of the company's funds was in an
inner compartment, and the thieves
could not break into this. Several
hundred chisel scars on the front
of the inner safe attest the fact that
they worked hard to do so, but they
accomplished nothing more than de-
facing it.
When the break was discovered
this morning the state police were
notified and State Officer Hanson
made an investigation. The burglars
left behind them the collection of
tools, hammers, wrenches, chisels,
hooks and other miscellaneous arti-
cles, which they had taken from the
Toulouse. Apparently they brought

TO Divide ASHES
OF DEAD RADICALS
Half Of Remains Of Each Man to
Rest in Italy
OTHER HALF IN MAIDEN
Rumor Was That Undertaken Was
Holding Urns Until Payment Of
Bill-No Plans For Tour of COun-
try With Ashes.

Boston, Aug. 80 GPl-Defnite plans
for the disposal of the ashes of
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo VAN
zetti, executed radicals, were an
nounced today following a day con-
fused by maze of rumor and con-
tradictions.
The ashes will be divided into
four parts, the Sacco-Vanzetti de-
Tense committee said. Half of the
remains of each man will be taken
to Italy for burial there. The other
| halves will be inferred in a Maiden
cemetery.
Miss LUCIA Vanzetti, sister of the
executed man, will take half OF his
ashes and those of Sacco to Italy
under this plan. but its final ap-
prevail must await her recovery from
the collapse she suffered following
the ordeal of Sundays procession.
She is resting at Plymouth, near
her brothers former home, and has
not yet determined the date of her
| departure for Italy, from whence she
raced to this country to see the con-
demned man Just before the eXecu-
ton.
Conflicting rumorS as to the dis
position of the ashes which included
one to the effect that they were be-
ing held as security for the payment
of the undertakers bill We're dissi-
pated by that individual, Joseph
| Langone.
Langone branded the story as
"idiotic' and said that Gardner
| Jackson of the defense committee
already had offered payment, but he
had told Jackson that there was no
hurry and the bill could be met in
| due course.
Langone said he preferred to hold
the ashes, which rest in two copper
urns, until he had been specifically
ordered to release them by either
Mrs. Rose Sacco or Miss Vanzetti.
! Proposals looking toward a tour
of the country with the ashes have
been definitely counted out. Miss
NanZetti vetoed the idea, although
Mrs. Sacco was reported to have
been willing to give her consent.
| Meanwhile the ashes repose in
Langone's safe.
