WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-United States Senator Theodore F. Bur ton, of Ohio, died last night at 10 o'clock after an illness of several months. President Hoover visited Senator Burton several times dur ing his illness.
 Senator Burton was elected to the Senate last November, to suc- ceed Cyrus Locker, appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Frank B. Willis His term would have expired in 1883. Gov. Myers J. Cooper, will name Burton's successor.
 The decision of Theodore E. Bur- ton not to stand for reelection as Senator from Ohio in 1914 served to bring into national prominence Warren G. Harding, who was select ed in his stead as the Republican Senatorial nominee, was elected and six years later was elevated to the Presidency.
 Burton had served one term as Senator, having been chosen for that office, after distinguished serv- ice in the House of Representatives, by the Ohio legislature before the amendment providing for popular election of Senators became effec- tive. He was one of the few men in American history to seek elec- tion, as he did in later years, to the House after serving in the Senate.
 It was in 1920 that Burton came out of political retirement to run again for Congress in one of the Cleveland districts. At the time Harding who had reluctantly agreed six years previous, to be candi- date for the Senate, despite a de- termination to remain out of poli- tics after his defeat in 1910 as the Republican gubernatorial nominee was making his successful bid fol the Presidency.
 As 1t turned out, Harding entered the White House and Burton again became a member of the House where he had served eight terms part of the time being one of its most powerful leaders as chairman

RenOrtS Plenty OF Gas

Manager Witte of the Malta Nc
Connelsville Gas Co. informs this
paper that the report that the gas
company is not getting gas from
parties heretofore furnishing gas to
the local company, is a mistake. He
states that they are not only get
ting gas from the same concerns,
but are also buying gas from two
other producers in the same field,
who have recently drilled in new
wells, and are drilling other wells.
Any shortage of gas that may have
existed any place during the recent
cold snap, Mr. Witte states, was due
to some condition in that locality,
and not the result of a shortage of
gas. He states that barring freeze
up of gas wells or lines, which is
likely to happen no matter how
much gas, and which freeze-u
could be thawed in very short
time-an hour or so, there is no
danger of gas shortage this win

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN

In reply to the letter of last week
concerning the location of secondary
road in Penn township, we wish to
state that the facts SO far as Penn
township is concerned, were badly
exaggerated. In the first place the
first two secondary roads started in
Penn township were practically To-
Gated by the county commissioners
with the approval of the trustees;
and were of no particular benefit to
trustees then and now in office, as
they did not live on them or use
them very much. The roads refer
red to were two miles on the Penns-
vile Abel Mill road and one mile
on the grade road, which roads were
considered by those concerned to be
of benefit to most people in Penn
township, and all the money that
was raised on these two roads was
the 1919 by the abutting land own
ers. Since the time they were
built, Penn township has been in
hard straits for money, and could
not possibly have built any more
secondary roads had it not been for
the generosity Of the abutting land
owners And We do not know what
people would think of board Of
trustees who would not accept the
generosity of the good citizens of
Penn township who are as deserving
as anyone else in the township. The
party writing the letter of last week
happens to be a resident of Union
township, and 1 would like to ask
ii they have ever contributed any
thing to help the road program in
Penn township. If SO, we have fail
ed to realize it. And why does Un-
ion township wish Penn township to
build roads for their benefit unless
they show a willingness to help? We
realize that the grade road is one of
the most important roads in Penn
township, and feel sure that the
trustees are going to bend every
effort to have this road improved
just as soon as possible But they
also feel that this road being of
more benefit in many ways to I'm
ion, Homer and Marion townships,
they should open up their hearts,
minds and pocket books and
help Penn township either improve
this road or have the county or
state to take this road over and
build the same at once.
A little effort on the part of the
four townships concerned will soon
see this Improvement materialize.
Having been clerk of Penn town.
ship for the past six years, I am
proud to say that the trustees who
have served Penn township for that
time have had no AK to grind, and
have done their duty without any
partiality, and are out of debt at
the close of the year 1929.-Yours
very truly, D. M. Abel, Township
Clerk

The Dramatic 'iriaI

The Main Street Church Of Christ
was filled to capacity Friday even
ing, Dec. G., on the occasion of the
drama entitled, who Killed Earl
Wright" sponsored by the Anti
Saloon League, the pastors in the
twin cities and the local w. c. T. u.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of Will j. Foster, of Cincinnati
prosecuting attorney and director of
the drama, and of Atty John Ekey
counsel for the defense, who as
sumed the leading roles, and the
cast of local talent who assisted
them in successfully presenting the
drama. The whole aim of the pre-
sentation was to place the bootleg
ger, Tony Mankuso, on an equality
with Frank Lloyd who while intoxi-
Gated killed his best friend, Earl
Wright, and who was found guilty
of manslaughter, by his own testi-
mony and the facts in the case.
The message of the drama which
sank deep into the hearts of the
audience was "Our whole system Of
self government will crumble, eth
er if officials elect what laws they
will enforce, or citizens elect what
laws they will support. Franc E.

Rotarians Banquet Football Squad
Football was the main topic OF
conversation at the Rotary club
meeting last Thursday evening,
when the Rotarians entertained the
football squad of NJ. & M high
school, at the Kennebec hotel.
President DR.. D. g. Ralston well
coined the guests and presented
those letter men with gold plated
footballs, to whom footballs had not
been presented in preceding years.
Those receiving them this year were
Lawrence Pennell. Brent Cochran,
Charles Glass, John Clemens, Ray
mond Adrean and Donald Carder.
DR.. Ralston then turned the meet
ing over to Supt. G. E. Carr, who
called on Mr.. Marquis, the local
coach. Mr.. Marquis said he at
tr buted a good bit of the success of
the team this year to the fine
sportsmanship of the boys them
selves. c.. E. Fisher told how foot
ball was played back in 1900, when
he played on the first team of the
local school. That team was not de-
feated the whole season.
Coach Don Pedon of Ohio Uni
evening, and he chose as his topic,
What We Think of Football
Player Today" There are three
things that must be analyzed about
every individual to determine wheth-
er he will make good football
player The head, the heart, and
the feet An individual must be
very intelligent to make good foot
ha1 nj
geous heart to stay in the game, and
he must be quick on his feet. Foot
ball coaching is not the same as it
used to be, but is conducted with
out the use Of profane language.
One Of the last things he told the
boys was that they must not try to
go through life on their reputation
on the football field. because they
will soon be forgotten and then
they must face the world as men.
Coach Pedon said he was especially
glad to come to McConnelsville, be-
cause one of the best half-backs he
ever coached had come from this
town. He said he had reference to
Ralph Kennard, and that he was one
of the most courageous players he
had ever met
Mr.. Grover, head basketball coach
of Ohio University, was then called
on, and he made few remarks
about football and on athletics in
general. He also told about Oh %
University and hoped that some stu
dents from this vicinity would want
to attend that institution in another
year.
The meeting adjourned and the
boys expressed themselves as hav-
ing had very delightful time, and
the members of the Rotary club
were just as enthusiastic about the
meeting as were the boys-XX.

of the ice plant and had another at
tack of "dropsy" With some as
sistance the sheriff got him back to
the car and brought him here, and
he was finally put in Jail after again

In the meantime officers from
Perry and Muskingum counties tel
ephoned the sheriff here, to also be
on the lookout for Bradshaw, who
had been in the machine with Guin.-
sler. Sheriff Henery and Marshal

about half full of whisky, here.
