Sales Tax Drops
But Year Good

Receipts from Ohio's selective
sales tax for the week ending June
II, 1854, amounted to $3,267, ,487,
it was reported today by State
Treasurer Roger w. Tracy.
This represented drop of $780,
S63 from the collections of $3,-
400,290 for the same week last
year.
With two and one-half weeks
remaining in the fiscal year end
ing with the close of June, total
collections are $181 ,124, ,462. This
is a gain of $5,517 1856, or 3.14 per
cent, over receipts of SITS, ,607, log
for the corresponding period of
last year.
A breakdown of the eight clas-
sifications shows that the building
industry was the only group which
registered a gain over a year ago,
amounting to approximately S23,-
900.
In the various sub-groups, gains
were recorded in nearly a dozen
categories, including dairies, gar
ages and automotive accessories,
home furnishings, chain groceries
and drug stores, as well as in the
fuel-ice and jewelry and leather
classes.

Hunlphries Gets 6 Months
To Five Years On Change
OF Plea Here Wednesday
Authorities Drop
5 Other Charges

Carl Hunphries London railroad
worker, was sentenced to an in
determinate sentence of from six
months to five years here Wednes-
day when he changed his plea to
guilty on a charge of making a
false statement in order to obtain
an automobile certificate of title,
Prosecutor Forrest Sidener said
Thursday Humphries had previ-
ously faced six separate charges
ranging from breaking and enter
ing to false statements and was
to have gone on trial here this
week after a Grand Jury indict-
ment. He, through his attorney
William Culp of West Jefferson,
changed his plea to guilty on one
of the charges and the other
charges were dropped. He now
faces an estimated four years on
the guilty plea in view of his past
record and the seriousness of the
offense to which he has admitted.
Humphries confessed to the court
house robbery here as well as to
the breaking and entering of the
Barnhart Sales Company, Shaw
Elevator, London Lumber and
Coal Company and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad express office.
However, it was explained that
lack of evidence in these
cases prior to his confession was
the cause of the charges being
dropped.
Humphries also implicated an
other man, David Call, London, in
the express office robbery, it was
said.

hiIIiard Raceway
President Denies
Transfer Rumors

Charles d. Hill president of the
Columbus T r ottin & Association,
which is known as the Hilliard
Raceway Issued a statement today
saying that he had not been con-
tacted by any interest concerning
the moving of Hilliard race meet
to London for the 1855 season.
In Mondays publication the
Press carried a story which stated
that there was a move underway
to bring the harness races here.
Information which led to the pub
lication was obtained from a re-
liable source and we find that the
proposal has been talked about
quite generally throughout Cen
trail Ohio. We were told that it
was something more than just a
rumor.
However Mr.. Hill states that he
has not given the matter any con-
sideration At the same time he
admitted that in the past all has
not been we'll between his Trot-
ting Association and the Hilliard
town officials. But he says, the re-
lationship at present is the best it
has been since he has been pres.
and general manager of the race
way.
1t is to be expected that a den
ial would be forth coming at a
time when the racing meet is in
full session and doubtless Mr.. Hill
is sincere and truthful in making
his statement with regard to the
matter and if it is just a rumor,
all we can say is, that there are
some pretty responsible people
who are closely related to the
harness racing business who are
doing the rumoring. We are CRATE
full to Mr.. Hill for his letter and
we are charging nothing for the
publicity which his Raceway has
received while we were reporting
what seemed like hot and inter
eSting news to our many readers,
