TIE much-discuaaed financial em
barrassment of Ohio' cities
was the subject of further dis
cussion at a gathar'ng of mu
nicipal officials, offloials of chambers
of commerce and other commercial
bodies and representatives of the Ohio
Municipal league, from various parts
of the state, at the Columbus Cham
ber of Commerce. The disinclina
tion on the part of the legisla
ture, at recent past sessions, to
give serious consideration to the
appeals of Ohio's cities for relief,
and to tamper In any way with
the Smith 1 per oent law, was com
mented on by all the speakers and
the fear expressed that the next gen
eral assembly will probably evince
the same temerity in attempting a
solution of the difficulty. One of the
reasons for the chilly reception given
the subject was laid to the door of
the large number of legislators who
live in the rural districts, where the
citizens almost unanimously oppose
changing the 8mitfc law In any way, or
In legislating addltfcwl taxing powers
to municipal subdivisions. Sugges
tions for recommendations to the next
legislature relative to a solution of
the cities' financial problem, made at
the meeting, included an amendment
providing that city councils shall not
Issue bonds in excess of one half of
1 per cent of the property value, in
stead of 1 per cent, as is now the
law; a provision permitting cities,
upon the vote of the people, to issue
bonds for the purpose of paying inter
est and sinking fund charges, outside
the 10 mill limit of the law; that the
Dow tax be diverted to the needs of
the local communities in which it is
raised, and that the direct tax levy be
dispensed with by the state.
State Employe for Years.
John F. Slemmons, 73, civil war sol
dier, who died at Mb home In Colum
bus, was a state house attache for a
number of years, having held positions
in the adjutant general's and state
treasurer's offices. He came to Colum
bus from Richwood, Union county, in
1880, and served in the adjutant gen
eral's office as roster clerk. He en
tered rhe state treasury as chief clerk
during the administration of the late
John C. Brown, who came from Jef
ferson county, and continued in the
same position when W. T. Cope, for
merly of Columbiana county, became
treasurer. He was deputy commission- j
er of insurance during the Bushnell
administration. Later he went to To
ledo as treasurer of a life insurance
company. He returned to Columbus
five years ago.
Checking Up Accounts.
State Examiners A. B. Dawson and
Joseph F. Hogan have started to check
up the accounts of Secretary of State
Hlldebrant so that he can turn his
office over to W. D. Fulton, secretary
of state-elect, on the second Monday
in January, when the change of admin
istration takes place. There are sev
eral hundred thousand items to be
checked over in this department. Al
though Chester E. Bryan, the new
state treasurer, will take office along
with the other state officials the sec
ond Monday in January, the actual
transfer of the office will not take
place until every cent of money and
every security in the state's possession
is carefully counted and found to be
correct. It sometimes takes a week
or more for this work.
Will Move Headquarters.
Ohio Socialists are to move their
etate headquarters from Columbus to
Cleveland on Dec. 1. At the late state
convention, it was decided to maintain
state headquarters in the home city of
the secretary. As Alfred Wagenknecht,
the newly-named secretary, is a Cleve
land man, the Sixth City gets the head
quarters. O. G. Van Schoyck of Col
umbus is the retiring secretary. The
new state executive committee is com
posed of the following: Tom Clifford,
Cleveland; Charles Baker, Hamilton;
Scott Wilkins, Lima; George Bundy,
Warren; E. L. Hitchens, Norwood;
William Patterson, Toledo, and James
White, Toronto.
Will Sing at Inauguration.
The famous Republican Glee club
of Columbus, which sang at the big
Hughes meetings in New York city
In the closing hours of the national
campaign, will take part in the pro
gram incident upon the inauguration
of Gov.-elect Cox. When the Glee club
was at Dayton attending the Repub
lican campaign opening there, it sere
naded Gov. Cox at the office of his
paper, the Daily News. When he
thanked the club members for their
courtesy, he gave them a cordial in
vitation to visit him at the governor's
office in January. The club has ac
cepted the invitation.
Opposed to Extra Sessions.
Representative Frank H. Reighard
of Fulton county, chairman of the
house finance committee, is strongly
opposed to the proposal that a special
session of the legislature be held to
Investigate the high cost of living and
to confirm the state officials appointed
since the legislature adjourned a year
ago last June. "I think such an in
vestigation by the Ohio legislature
would not accomplish anything."
First to Resign.
Col. Miletus Gamer, state budget
commissioner, is the first Willis ap
pointee to resign since the election.
Establishes Precedent.
The state public utilities commis
sion established a precedent when it
decided that it had no authority to
fix an emergency gas rate, pending
the outcome of a referendum on a
rate ordinance. The decision was
handed down relative to a gas rate
referendum on an ordinance passed
by the city council of Cincinnati. The
commission pointed out that In the
event a city wants speedy solution
of a state question, It may call a spe
cial election within five weeks of the
time of filing of a petition by 30 per
cent of the electorate

Bishops in Session.
The annual bishops' council of the
United Brethren church is in session
here. Pastors and church officials from
central Ohio are here with the follow
ing bishops: G. W. Matthews, Dayton,
Central district; W. M. Bell, Los An
geles, Cal., Pacific district; W. M.
Weekly, Parkersburg, W. Va., Eastern
district; H. H. Fout, Indianapolis,

Kansas City, Southwestern district.
Foreign missionary work after the
war, missionary work in the western
states and the best means to popular
ize the courses of study at the church's
eight colleges and seminaries were dis
cussed. May Not Call Special Session.
It now seems probable that no spe
cial session of the legislature will be
held. Republican leaders are divided
on the advisability of such a session
and a number of them are of the opin
ion that it would not be good politics
to hold it. Gov. Willis Is expected to
announce his decision on the matter
within a few days. Secretary Tipton
of the governor's office intimates the
governor will decide against calling a
special session.
Released Prisoner Rearrested.
When released from the peniten
tiary after serving a year from Akron

ers of the New York Central railroad,
have filed a protest with the Ohio
public utilities commission against
the application of the company to is
sue $12,000,000 of equipment securl
ties in 1917 for new rolling stock.

Chauncey M. Depew, William Rocke

York, directors of the company, be

directors residing outside the state.
Offer Lower Coal Rates.
In the face of the approaching cold
wave, representatives of various Ohio
coal concerns deluged T. E. Davey of
the state board of administration with
offers of supplies of coal at prices
decidedly cheaper than those prevail
ing during the past few weeks.
Get Back Press Room.
The press room in the state house,
which was taken away from the news
papermen and given to the state civil
service commission several months

ALL MEMBERS OF CREW DIE
Captain Hinsch of Interned Steamer
Only One on Board Small Boat
Saved Diver Is Oamaged and Re
turns to New London, Conn.
New London, Conn, Nov. 20. Five
lives were lost when the German sub
marine Deutschland, which left port
on Friday morning for Bremen
runimed and sent to the bottom with
its crew of five the tug T. A. Scott,
Jr., one of Its two convoying tugs.
After the accident the Deutschland
returned to this port
The only person on the tug saved
was Capt. Fred Hlusch of the German
Interned liner Neckar. The tug, which
belonged to the T. A. Scott Wrecking
company, went to the bottom.
The list of dead Includes: Capt.
John Gurney; William A. Caton, engi
neer; Edward Stone, fireman; Clar
ence B. Davison, cook ; Eugene Duzart,
deckhand.
The Deutschland returned to Its
dock here at 5:15 a. m.
An eddy caused the accident, ac
cording to Capt. Harry Baker of the
tug Cassie, the other convoy of the
submarine. The Cassie was traveling
about half a mile astern of the
Deutschland, while the Scott and the
submarine were moving almost
abreast. The sea was calm, Captain
Baker said, and conditions were nor
mal. The Scott carried the usual
lights, but the Deutschland had only
Its headlight and two side lights. The
tide was running nl most full and when
about seven miles west of Race rock
they struck an eddy, which twisted
them about and out of control. Then
they came together. He heard the
crash.
Captain Baker said that when the
collision occurred he at once headed
for the spot. On arriving there he
saw Captain Hinsch in the water and
took him on board the Cassie. Earlier
reports had it that Hinsch had been
rescued by the Deutschland.
Henry G. Ililken of Baltimore, pres
ident of the Eastern Forwarding com
pany, said that so far as he knew the
only damage the Deutschland suffered
was a twisted stein. It was learned
later, however, that the undersea boat
has in its bow at least one hole about
twenty inches square. A portable
forge was taken down to the pier and
the hole is being patched.
Capt. W. A. Fones, shore superin
tendent of the Scott company, In
charge of the repairs, said the
Deutschland might be ready to leave
within two or three days.
Captain Koeuig of the Deutschland
appeared pale anc shaken as he
stepped ashore froi.i his vessel on Its
return. He refused to talk about the
collision.
"The accident happened all In a
minute," according to a member of the
Deutschland's crew, who talked brief
ly about it. The tug, he said, got In
front of the submarine and the
Deutschland struck it in the stern,
lifting it so far out of the water that
the tug's nose went under.
The Deutschland drew out of its
pocket at the pier of the Eastern For
warding company at 1:30 oVelock in
the morning, accompanied by the tugs
T. A. Scott, Jr., and the Alert of the
T. A. Scott Wrecking company, sub
agents of the Eastern Forwarding
company. It carried a cargo valued
at $2,000,000, consisting of nickel, rub
ber and silver bars.

REPLY ON BLACKLIST
GREAT BRITAIN RESENTS SUSPI
CION AS TO MOTIVE.
Denies That Rights of Neutrals Un
der International Law Have Been
Ruthlessly Canceled.
Washington, Nov. 16. The British
reply to the latest American note pro
testing against the trade blacklist,
made public on Wednesday by the
state department, denies that rights of
neutral traders under International
law have been ruthlessly canceled, de
fines the blacklist measures as a muni
cipal regulation plainly concerning
only the British government and Brit
ish citizens, contends that It Is de
signed to shorten tlie war and scorns
the suspicion that Britain is using the
war as a measure to take away neu
trals' trade.
The note fails to meet the Ameri
can demand that the names of Ameri
can firms be stricken from the black
list, but attempts to convince the state
department that the British position
Is just and founded on law. It leaves
open the door for further negotatlon,
which is expected to follow.
A part which attracted much oftV
ciaj notice dealt with the subject of
peace, based on the theory that one
American contention had been that
there exists' no military necessity for
the blacklist; that nothing which hap
pens in distant neutral countries can
influence the result of the great con
flict. In its argument the note points out
that German business houses through
out the world have furthered the
cause of Germany in the war.
The note apparently admits Britain
has altered the position previously
held with the United States, that domi
cile and not nationality Is the test of
enemy character, and argues that In
this war nationals or belligerents dom
iciled far from home may render great
aid and comfort, admitting that these
are sought to be reached by the black
list measure.
Attention is called to Instructions to
British merchants, issued by Lord Rus
sell In 1862 regarding trade with the
Bahamas during the Civil war, advis
ing that the "true remedy" was to re
fruln from this trade.

London. Monastlr has fallen to the

national hymn the remnant of King
Peter's army marched through the
shell-riddled gates of the Macedonian
city, whence a year ago they filed in
panic and hunger before 1 the great
Teuton-Bulgarian steam roller. At
the head of the victorious troops rode
Crown Prince Alexander, rejuvenator
of the little Balkan kingdom's soldiers,
and with the Serbians marched
French regiments, with whose aid the
first great step toward the reconquest
of Serbia was accomplished. Here and
there, In the long line of the triumph-
al march, a row of Muscovite "tcha
kos" towered above the helmets of
steei. Their owners were members of
the Russian contingent, which also
co-operated in the encirclement of the
great stronghold. A few minutes
after the first battalions had entered

LONG-DISTANCE MARK BROKEN.
Binghamton, N. Y. Ruth Bancroft
Law broke the American cross-country,
non-stop record in her attempted
sunrise-to-sunset aeroplane flight from
Chicago to New York. Driving an
antiquated biplane through a 45-mile
gale, she blew from Chicago to Hor
nell, a distance of 590 miles (air line)
In eight hours and 55 minutes. She
thus captured the brief honors held
by Victor Carlstrom, who, November
t, flew from Chicago to Erie, Penn
452 miles. In an attempt similar to
that made by Miss Law. .

years for quick changes. From 721
millmeters, which already was 39 be
low normal, It fell 44 milimeters In 38
hours.
