He was a leader in the light for
the reduction of tolls on Ohio river
bridges with a resulting savings TO
commuters and improvement III
business conditions in Ohio cities
and towns. More than 1000 miles
of rural road projects in his dlstrlct
had been approved for federal ex
penditures by the time Secrest
cities in his district had been i'm"
proved with federal funds partly
due to the support he had given the
necessary legislation and his careful
fOlloW-ups.
Secrest's list Of accomplishments
for his district runs much longer
But in another field he was partic-
ularly outstanding. That was on
the question of flood control, HIS
district, embracing most OF the
Muskingum river and bordering on on
foods and much in need of soil and
water conservation. He has foster
/ ed all moves for those benefits.
In that connection, Secrest has
put up strenuous fight to get the
federal government to assume a.
least a part of the assessments
against property owners for the
Muskingum conservancy project. he
is a member of the House flood con
troll committee and thus in a posi-
ton to make his insistence on this
point a matter of notice.
Secrest now makes Caldwell his

KARL B. PAULY TELLS
ABOUT BOB SECREST

In his "Mostly about People" col
umn in the Ohio State Journal, Nov.
"A, Karl B. Pauly, had the follow
ing concerning Congressman BOD
Secrest:
Only two Democrats have been
embraced by the 18th Ohio District
since the Civil war They are George
White, who later became governor
of his state, and Robert Thompson
Secrest, the present congressman
who is serving his third term in
Washington.
Bob Secrest went to work in the
mines when he was 15 to help pay
his way through school. immediate
ly upon being graduated from Mus:
kingum college he was appointed
town, Senecaville, at the age Of %.
When he was 26, he was elected to
the Ohio House of Representatives..
Two years later he made his first
stand for congress and was elected.
In 1896, when Democratic candi-
dates in Ohio generally trailed Pres
ident Roosevelt in number of votes.
Secrest had plurality in the six
counties of his district three times
as big as Roosevelt's The result
was easily explainable. In congress,
the things in which his district is
particularly interested No need has
been too small for his attention, no
distance too far to travel. He has
answered quarter Of million let
ters since settling down III tne House
office building less than five years
ago.
Tall, gangling Bob Secrest came
to the state house as Legislator IN
January, 1881. At first glance his
fellow salons were not impressed
with "the boy representative" from
Noble county. Self-posessed, hard
working, fluent in speech, he soon
gained the attention and respect Of
every man and woman on the floor.
He had "gone in heavy" for de-
batting while at Mnskingum college
where his team won every debate in
the three years he participated. He
now began to reap the rewards OF
that training by making whirlwind
speeches in body that had few ar
gumentative orators.
In the legislature, he was co-auth-
or of the Secrest- Bostwick bill Civ
ing a greater share of the gasoline
tax revenues to the counties and
townships for rural road construc-
ton He also battled for school and
mining legislation, as well as for
the interests of the farmers.
From his office and through his
influence in Washington, Sec. est as
congressman secured extensions of
'''9t' routeS il he rurH' area Of his
district and additional deliveries in
Zaneev;llc: he obtained postoffice
buildings for McConnelsville, Cald-
well and Woodsfeld; he secured
many PWA and WPA allotments for
his district for roads, sidewalks,
sewer improvements and similar
projects.

that no more snow was seen of the
winter snow.
The ice in the Muskingum river
from Bald Eagle creek in Morgan
county broke up and went out Of
the Muskingum into the Ohio river
at Marietta on the Goth day of
March 1856; but the ice up the rlv-
er above Bald Eagle creek as far
up as GAINESVILLE did not brake up
and come down until the next day,
March 21.
Charles Cory, jr., crossed on the
ice at Bald Eagle creek over to the
Big Bottom side of the river on the
18th day of March, and Charles
said there was a man went up the
river on the ice from Bald Eagle to
Robert Henery's, a distance OF one
mile, and crossed over to the Op.
posite side on Nthe 10Th day OF
March.
I, John Cheadle, saw snow on the
14th day of April, on the north side
Of hill on Robert Henry's farm, in
Windsor township, Morgan county;
said Charles Cory also saw the
same; a spot about a yard in length
and s or 10 inches in width; this
snow fell on the 25th day of De-
cember in the night; this snow has
lain on the ground one hundred
and eleven GID days"

The Big Snow
Of 1855-1S56

In spite of the declaration of the
weather bureau many persons be-
lieye that there has been change
in the climate within their recollec-
ton, that is, persons who remember
so years ago or more. The recent
light snow, leads me to look over
my records and see what | mlght
have bearing on this subject.
1t was hobby of my grandtath-
er, E. NJ Stanbery, to keep a diary,
which he did, more or less faithful
ly, for many years. But like the
majority of people he would keep It
up for a few years and then lay it
aside for a time.
When "Uncle Dolph Vogle' was
at the Elk Eye Mill, SO long, 1t was
his custom to make an entry about
the weather at the head of each
days page on the wheat book,
which was a record of all the wheat
that was purchased or exchanged at
the mill He would start new page
each day and as there was liberal
margin at the top OF the page ne
would make entries there about the
weather. In the flood of 1913 we
of the older years had been put
away on the top floor of the mill
and were so preserved. Also in the
diary of my grandfather he kept an
irregular record of the weather,
but he did keep a record of any un-
usual weather we had, and so from
some of his records, and those kept
by "Uncle Dolph," | have been able
to check back on the unusual wealth
er conditions that existed from year
to year, with more or less regular
ity. Further | find a record made
by John Cheadle, who lived IN
Windsor township, that is unique III
many ways. l will refer to that
later.
The winter of 1S55~1S56 was un,
usuaI. even for that early time, and
n - 4u : III impression ou thee
who lived then that these records
were written out and it has been
my good fortune to secure and pre-
serve them. While the tempera-
lures were not SO low as in other
years, the snowfall and the con-
tinued cold weather certainly was
so much out of the ordinary that
those who were in the habit of
noting such matters thought II
worthy of recording. This snowfall
was not local, it must have been
fairly general all over the state, as
we find records noting the unusual
amount from different parts OF the
state.
AS the Cheadle manuscript Will
show, the snowfall started here IN
tho M''ekingum valley on Christmas
OF 1855, and continued, lntermlt-

About 800 members and friends OF
the two families, both socially prom
inent but often differing sharply in
political beliefs, were assembled in
Christ church at 3:45 p. m. when
the bridal party began arriving.
Among the guests were Lanot and
Irenee Due Pont, two of the leaders
of the powerful industrial family OF
which Ethel's father, Eugene, is a
member.
Both Ethel, in her cloud-like gown
of white tulle, tucked in here and
there with wax orange blossoms
and Franklin, stalwart in his black
cutaway, appeared calm and very
serious during the ceremony which
climaxed a romance begun four
years ago.
Immediately after the wedding
the young couple went, along with
the guests at the church, to Owls
Nest, the Du Pont estate, where
they joined about 1000 others in
vited to participate in a reception.

they will sail for Liverpool aboard

COunterfeiting
in Carolina
Is on Decline
Law Continues to Arrest and
Try T1any for Forging and
Cashing Government Checks
in State of North Carolina.

Counterfeiting, certainly in North
Carolina, has just about become an
extinct illegal trade, judging by rec
ords at the Carolinas headquarters
of the United States secret service.
For the first six months of 1887
not a single person has been arrest
ed for passing either counterfeit
currency or coin, according to the
record of L. o. Padgett, in charge of
secret service operations in North
Carolina.
During that period there has been
one arrest for possession of counter
felt coins, but this arrest was made
before any coins had been passed.
While counterfeiting has been de-
clining, there has been no abatement
in cases of forging and cashing gov
eminent checks. Each case reported
is thoroughly investigated, and al
most without fail the guilty parties
are apprehended and tried.
For the fiscal year which ended
June 80, the Charlotte headquarters
of the United States secret service
made IS arrests, most of which were
of men charged with forging and
passing government checks. Many
of the arrests were made after long
and tedious investigations.

More Than
One May Have
Killed 3 Girls
Officials Baffled in Triple
Murder Case in InglewoOd,
Calf; Older Children Might
Have Been the Murderers.

The possibility that more than
one person attacked and garroted
three little Inglewood, California,
continued.
girls whose bodies were found in a
ravine Monday was advanced by in
vestigators this week as they strove
to justify several battling aspects of
the crime
One official expressed a theory
that older children might have been
the killers. .se
These developments came as Sher-
Tiff Eugene Biscailuz announced all
suspects arrested so far were free
of suspicion. Those cleared included
an ex-convict and the son of a
prominent Los Angeles family, both
once regarded as "hot" suspects.
Another man, a 37-year-old form
er sailor, was taken to Inglewood
later for questioning.
He was described as similar in ap-
pearance to Eddie the Sailor" who
several witnesses have said lured
the victims, Madeline Everett, sew
en-, her sistr, Melba, nine, and Jea-
nette Stephens, eight, from a park
Saturday to go on a rabbit hunt.
Capt. Glen Peoples of the sher-
ifs office said:
''The possibility must not be over
looked that more than one person
was involved in this case. It might
even have been the work of older
children"
Other Investigators pointed out
that County Autopsy Surgeon A. F.
Wagner reported there was no evil
dence the little girls had been tied
or rendered insensible by blows. Yet
their bodies were found lying within
a space of only about 100 feet.
One of the most puzzling features
of the entire investigation has been
the question of how one person
could have attacked and slain all
three girls so near the same spot
without any of them fleeing.
Captain Glen Peoples of the sher-
ifs office said:
''The possibility must not be over
looked that more than one person
was involved in this case. It might
even have been the work of older
children.
There was the Loeb-Leopold case
in Illinois and when some psychia
trists say that it is unusual for two
or more degenerates to work togeth-
er, we must add that unusual crimes
happen out here"

DENVER, Col, Oct. 4. = William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor told the dele gates at the annual convention here today that the hour has arrived to start a united fight against John L. Lewis and his CIO. The delegates shouted and stamped their approval.
 Green said: "The clock has struck the hour. We have appealed to them for two years to come back to the American Federation of Labor fold. You will now order your Board of Directors to revoke charters of this dual movement. Then the AFL will become the greatest fighting ma chine ever created within the ranks of labor"
 Green said the present battle is one for Democracy.

 In common ordinary language, the Westdahl has been looking for un- charted rocks, but one was found last week that provoked extraordin- ary language-because where the chart said twelve fathoms, near Horse Island, the Westdahl, pro- ceeding slowly, bent her stem on an uncharted rock. Needless to say, the rock is well marked on the re- vised chart.

Brilliant Array,
 Northern Lights

The Northern Lights outdid them selves last night, nearly all night long.
 Scarcely had the sun set last eevning before the shooting rays, like searchlights, began to appear Not for years has the display been so brilliant and in all parts of the sky, north, south, east and west, which is something unusual
 The streaks continued until just before sun up this morning.
 The lights certainly raised the mischief with the transmission oi messages over the Signal Corps United States Army. Messa. .sss, including press, night letters and commercial, are split six ways from Sunday, scattered ap- parently from the equator to the North Pole. The Juneau operators early this morning began trying tc pick up the loose ends, and bring them together
 In other words there was com plete fadeout and the atmospheric conditions prevailed into the fore noon hours.
