Civil Service Is Rigid
The Ohio penal institutions are

rigid civil service regulations, SINH

A state civil service commission
supervises the examinations which
all applicants for appointment must
pass before they are appointed.
All of the states penal institutions,
excepting the county jails. are SUI
pervised by a state commission
named by the Governor.
Superintendents OF the penal in

Merit alone controls their selection.
Political Endorsements are a handi-

STATE Senate
JOBS VACATED,
BOARD HOLDS
Democrats Call Convention
for Saturday to Pick
Two Candidates.
WHITE, WEBB AFFECTED
Positions Were Forfeited on
Taking Other Jobs,
Is Ruling.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times staff Writer

The Democratic county committee
will meet in convention Saturday to
choose two nominees to the state
senate, it was learned this after
noon.
The convention is necessary, it
was learned, because the county
board of election commissioners has
ruled that two Marion county hold
over senators have vacated their
senate seats by accepting other state
jobs.
Senators affected are E. Curtis
White, Marion county, and John
Bright Webb, Marion and johnson
counties. Both are members of the
state board of agriculture and al
though they are not paid salaries
receive several hundred dollars a
year on a per diem basis.
The election commissioners, it was
learned, have ruled that the seats
have been vacated, but are seeking
legal advice to learn if there is any
loophole which could be used to
obviate holding the convention and
placing two new names on the
ticket.
Brings Mechanical Problem
One of the most important angles
Of the situation is the muddle into
which the mechanical problem of
voting this fall is thrown.
There are only sixty places on
the M q chirac onI fff1y x,iY,o oF +L,o,,.
are filled. Thus, the addition of
two more names would mean the
use of both machines and ballots.
The probability is that the city
ticket will be placed on the ballot
to make way for the additional
names on the county ticket. There
are eight names on the city ticket.
Eight or nine names have been
discussed by Democratic leaders for
the two senate seats, since it was
learned the board holds them va
Gated.
However, it was reported reliably
today that the contest for the NOM
nations is a three cornered affair
Jacket Joseph, city park board
member and prominent attorney, is
almost certain to be one of the
nominees, it was reported, and the
other selection lies between Henry
o. Goett and DR.. Carleton B. Nc
Culloch.
Goett, now city clerk, has a strong
following among the precinct COM
mitteemen, as well as a large public
following.
McCuIIOoA Strong Candidate
DR.. McCulloch became Democratic
state chairman when R. Earl Peters
was ousted by the statehouse fac
ton. A former candidate for Gov
ernor, Dr. McCulloch long has been
a power in state politics. He relin-
pushed the Craftsmanship to the
incumbent, Omer S. Jackson, when
the committee was reorganized.
His strength with the state adj
ministration, however, may be
against him in the county conven-
ton because of the friction between
the Marion county faction and the
statehouse leaders.

DEAN SCORES IN
MURDER TRIAL
Evidence Linking Suspect
With Theft of Car Is
Ruled Out.

The state today suffered a setback
in the trial of Edward CFoggy) Dean
for the submarine gun murder of
Police Sergeant Lester Jones in a
bus garage holdup last year as Spe-
cial Judge Clyde H. Jones ordered
that evidence purporting to link
Dean with the theft of a car be
stricken from the records.
Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prose-
cutor. had attempted through the
testimony of Stanley Myers, employe
in the garage from which the car
was stolen, TO prove that Dean and
his alleged holdup gang had worked
together previous to the Staying.
Mr.. Mattice argued that any evil
dence bearing on the crime was adj
Missile.
The arrest of Dean in Louisville,
KY, following a raid was described
by George B. Berry, Louisville de-
tective. A pistol was found hidden
in the apartment where Dean was
arrested, Mr.. Berry declared.
Another witness was William P.
Holland, Newport, KY, crack de-
tective, who testified that he main
tanned a watch over the home of
Willie Mason. wanted in connection
with the holdup, for several days
after the crime.
AS the states case against Dean
approached a close, Mr.. Mattice
planned today to offer additional
evidence designed to destroy an ex-
pected defense abb before it is
offered.
The exact nature of the evidence
was guarded closely. 1t was ex-
pected the deputy prosecutor would
call at least one more witness who
would identify Dean as one of the
bandits who commandered a taxi
cab near the Peoples Motor Coach
Company garage at on the morn
ing of Feb. Z. 1888, a few minutes
after Sergeant Jones had been
murdered.
Every effort was being made as
the trial entered its thirteenth day
to conclude the states evidence not
later than tomorrow afternoon.
During the examination of pros
pective jurors, Mr.. Miller indicated
the defense would offer an alibi.
The state has presented two wit
nesseS who definitely have identified
Dean. Policeman Willard Hawkins
has testified that Dean was the trig-
german in the motor coach garage
who let loose a burst of sub-ma-
chine gun fire as Sergeant Jones
flung open the garage doors.

Mayor Sullivan in an effort to end
situation which sees approximate
ly four hundred men and women
out of work and which has brought
repeated stonings of strikebreakers'
cars and brushes between police and
pickets and their sympathizers.
The workers here remained out on
strike after the end of the national
walkout because, they said, Charles
A. Young, plant manager, refused
to put them back to work on the
conditions laid down by the Winant
board, which drew up the national

Roosevelt.

after a conference Monday with
union representatives.
Mr.. Young, whose car was stoned
Tuesday as he drove into the plant,
retorted that the workers had mis-
understood him on certain points
and that Mr.. Drake deliberately had
misrepresented him on others.
The chief points of contention
lie in the rapidity and manner with
which workers shall go back to work
and in the handling of men now
facing police charges as result Of
disturbances at the plant.
The union, at a meeting this
morning. approved a contract which
was to be offered to Mr.. Young this
afternoon. 1t was understood that
Mr.. Young was willing to agree on
many points in the contract and

The dream of every gardener is
to be able to cut flowers by the
armful without spelling the effect
of the outdoor living room garden.
This can not be achieved unless
plot of ground is set aside for the
growing of plants in rows where
cultivation can be done easily. 1t
has to be a garden area by itself,
and yet it may not be disagree
able sight if it is properly planned.
Usually beds of varying sizes are
made and they are hard to Guilt
vate. In fact they can be taken
care of only by hoe.
If the flowers are planted in
straight rows, as much dirt will
be seen as blooms. When one row
of plants has ceased blooming, then
there is a row all across the garden
that becomes void and an eyesore.
A pleasing, and practical, scheme
for growing ANIMALS to cut has been
patterned after an idea civic en-
gineer had for economy of space
and labor and also for appearance.
He enjoys growing flowers of all
kinds and lots of them, but he does
all the work himself and he has to
use a hand cultivator to grow good
plants in quantity.
This means that plants must be
grown in rows, but they do not need
to be straight or at right angles to
the main path. BY laying out the
rows carefully before planting, it
is an easy matter to keep them in

curves as shown in the accompany
ing sketch.
After the ground has been
spaded or plowed, and raked, the
center path first is staked out.
With string tied to stake set
in the center of the path, mark off
circular line. Vary the distance
between rows depending on the
need of the flower that you expect
ed to plant.
Measure off this distance and
move the stake down the path. In
this way every row has the same
curve no matter how much one
row varies from another.
The value of the curved rows Is
that, walking through the garden
YOU can not see the dirt between
the rows. The garden appears filled
with flowers.
High growing plants are placed
at the end and each succeeding
row is lower.
At the entrance to the garden,
where the dwarf plants are grow
ing, the entire garden becomes a
picture.
Practically plus ingenuity makes
for beauty, even in a cutting
garden.
