Senate Rejects Measure Which Sought ! to Make the County Boards of I Education Elective Directly by the People New Institution For the Feeble-Minded Authorized Bills Passed by Both Branches. i Columbus, April 18. The senate passed the Federman house measure 1 appropriating $500,000 lor construction by the board of administration in the northern or southern part of Ohio of a new institution for feebleminded. It is said the sum is sufficient to erect a unit big enough to accommodate 1,000 additional de fectives. Experts say Ohio has 8,000 feebleminded persons, while the present institution at Columbus and the farm branch at Orient together have a capacity of less than 4,000. Juvenile courtr tor years have had long waiting lists of defectives for whom the state had no quarters. The house passed the bill of Senator Jones of Meigs, providing for publication of a roster of Ohio soldiers and sailors of the world war. It also approved the Stone senate bill authorizing water companies to appeal to the public utilities commission tor fixing of rates when municipal councils fail to act. Word was that drys may wait until a later date than May 27 to pass further prohibition legislation if, after recesa, it appears the assembly will be in session that long. It is pointed out the objections then could no longer be raised that an emergency was being anticipated instead of actually existing. The senate, after a long debate, defeated the Cable school bill by a 21 to 10 vote. Supporters of the bill claimed this measure would eliminate municipal and c.uaty school boards from political control, permitting the people to select the members by direct vote. Opponents of the bill contended its passage would put the school boards back into politics. The bill bad passed the house. Anti-German BUI Passed. The Ake anti-German school bill, passed by the senate several weeks ago, was approved by the lower house. It was passed after a committee of Republican senators, beaded by Floor Leader Whtttemore, served on house Republicans the threat that the senate would quit passing bills and recess forthwith unless the Ake bill were approved immediately. The ultimatum was delivered to House Floor Leader Beetham during a caucus of house Republicans. The bill permits German in the eighth grade for the benefit of Junior high schools. House Republicans adopted immediately upon introduction a resolution by Fouts censuring Governor Cox for making the alleged unwar ranted public charge' that his (Cox's) vigilance prevented the assembly from enacting unpatriotic legislation. The senate passed these house bills: By Alban, standardizing sizes of baskets and crates in which fruits and vegetables may be sold; by Drury, licensing and regulating commercial canneries; by Federman, li censing and regulating manufacture and sale of soft drinks In bottles; by Lytle, codifying horticultural stat utes; by Lentz, requiring the value of minerals to be set out in deeds for coal lands for benefit of tax officials. The house reconsidered and passed the Hopple bill, which provides for a special grand Jury to investigate crime conditons in Cleveland and Cuyahoga county. Both houses recessed last night un til May 5. ; EQUAL RIGHTS BILL KILLED Motion to Postpone Indefinitely Pre vails In the House. Columbus, April 18. Thirty-five members of the house out of a total membership of 124 killed the Beaty bill, which sought to give negroes equal rights with white persons in hotels, restaurants, theaters and other public places. The killing came on a motion to indefinitely postpone, made by Representative Gorrell of Carroll county. A total of 83 mem. bers "ducked" the roll call, leaving 35 who voted for the motion and 16 who voted against it. Discussion of the bill brought on an acrimonious debate. Gorrell said the 87 members who voted for the bill when it first came up for passage in March were "cowards" and were afraid of the political come-back that would have been theirs bad they voted against the bill. Only 10 voted against it at that time. Representative Morris, Hamilton county, said the passage of the measure wouldn't give the negro equality because white people wouldn't obey It. Representative Taylor, Huron county, reminded bis Republican col leagues that the state platform on which they were elected pledged the negro rights such a were contained la the bill. h A L CHURCHES Climax United Brethren Church J.

Admission 35c, GENERAL SHERMAN ONCE SAID Never Mind tht Other Fellow If You Do You Will Lose Look After Your Own Campaign. By Campaign Manager. General Sherman, a brilliant and successful soldier, frankly admitted that General Grant was a greater commander than himself. Sherman used to ay: "I know more tactics and strategy than Grant, have just as good judgment and military training, but what the other fellow is doing when Grant don't see him doesn't worry him a d bit, while it worries me like thunder. That's why Grant has it on me." General Grant found that he had enough to do attending to his own campaign. He knew that his opponents were all brilliant men, that they were doing their level best at all times, and would beat him if they could, so he played his own game, laid out his own campaign, and did it so well that he succeeded. Contestants in this great contest should follow' Grant's plan. They should pay no attention to what the other candidates are doing, it is very-likely that they are getting every subscription they possibly can, and it is up to the wide awake contestants to make every moment count, from now until the close, or some one else will walk off with the piano. Don't spend your time trying to tind out what the other fellow is doing. He is bun)', get busy yourself. Don't listen to the "Wild Cat" stories that 'are always circulated by some candidates, in order to scare some hustler out. Vague and truly impossible "Yarns" are always started, to drive you out, but the "Sticker" always wins. The contest is now progressing very nicely, considering health and weather conditions. Some of our would be hustlers were compelled to withdraw while a number have been unable to do a single thing on account of sickness. It is hoped that the beginning of this week's offer will see every one working hard, not only those whose name already appears in the list but also those who may be interested in any of the prizes advertised and decide to become winners, as there is plenty of time and a wonderful opportunity for new contestants to enter the race and win as the county is as clear from real workers as it was four weeks ago; the arrearages have not even been collected while any one could easily win by starting in today and gathering up a bunch of new subscribers for the remaining weeks' offers. For it's a positive fact that the contestant who takes advantage of the extra vote offers each week, saves ae high a bonus as possible, will in all probabilities come in for one of the prizes at the close. This week we have an entirely different offer. We have a straight bonus offer for old and new subscriptions, and in addition we have a NEW offer for FIVE YEAR NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS. Read it carefully, then act accordingly. BETWEEN SATURDAY, APRIL 19, AND FRIDAY, APRIL 25. 8,000 Extra Votes will be allowed for $12 in Subscriptions (New or Old.) 20,000 Extra Votes will be allowed for $24 in Subscriptions (New or Old.) 35,000 Extra Votes will be allowed for $30 in Subscriptions (New or Old.) 55,000 Extra Votes will be allowed for $4M in Subscriptions (New or Old.) 85,000 Extra Votes will be allowed for $00 in Subscriptions (New or Old.) 125,000 Extra Votes will be allowed for $72 in Subscriptions (New or Old ) NOW IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE Every candidate who secures a club of- FIVE (5) NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS for FIVE (5) years, a BONUS ballot of 25.000 extra votes will be given besides the regular 0,500 votes for a live year new subscription. This means that every new subscription for less than five years, and every old subscription you collect will be counted on the straight bonus, but for a club of five new subscriptions for five years each, an, ertra ballot of 25,000 votes will be given. This is tin largest vote winning Voitim' you will get. Don't wait for something larger, for it will not be given. Now is the time to hustle. The Special School Prize has been eliminated as we took the proposition up with the different Morrow county schools and they tell us they are too busy to give it the proper attention. No school has been credited with a new snbscription from any contestant Thus the reason for withdraw-ng this prize. The contestants are not willing to assist the schools to a prize if not given any material help from that source.

Cavanaugh of the 142d field artillery, one of the officers on board. The man had been locked in a stateroom because of bis actions.
