Over Appointment Of Admin
istrator For Estate
Whose Executrix Was- Dis
charged Twelve Years Ago
Seeks Confirmation Of Own
ership Of Property
"Hoes" Named Defendants In
Licking Co. Action
Other Items Of Interest From
The Court House
Louis Sullivan Culllson, defendant
In an action brought by P. A. Berry,
administrator of Elizabeth Davidson,
to construe will of decedent, has filed
an answer.
Defendant admits plaintiff's appoint
ment as administrator, but denies all
other allegations. He says there Is
no reason for appointment of plain
tiff as administrator because Matilda
Davidson, named as executrix, filed
ier first and final account on Sept.
26, 1904, which was later confirmed
and executrix discharged.
Defendant says that by the will of
Elizabeth Davidson, he and Boulah
Elizabeth Culllson becamo owners In
fee simple of real cstato of decodont.
He says they are willing to erect a
monument over gravo of John L. Cul
llson. Ho asks that this ownorship bo
confirmed by court, not subject to the
debts of the estate of Matilda David
son. W. A. Hosack is attorney for de
fendant. o
"Does" Are Defendants
A petition to sell real estate was
filed In probate court Tuesday In the
matter of the estate of the late Thos.
B. Painter, says the Newark Ameri
can Tilbune.
The peculiarity of the suit is not
that It is filed by W. W. Williams,
Columbus attornoy, for his brother,
Jamos S. Williams, administrator of
the Painter estate, but on account of
the fact that It is a "John Doe-Richard
Doe" document. Paintor had no chil
dren, no wife and his relatives are
cot known and will bo notified of the
settlement of the estate by publica
tion. The deceased, Mr. Painter, lived In
Homer and had property in Washing
ton township. His personal property
Vas not sufficient to pay the debts of
the estate and hence the necessity of
celling the realty. Painter in his life
time was at once well known and lit

WOULD
PLUNGE
U. S. INTO WAR
Hughes' Election A Dire Cat
astrophe, Thinks Senator
Would Mean Repudiation Of Wilson's
Policy Of Peace Roosevelt's
Influence Regarded As
Pernicious
Washington, Aug. 29 Reviewing
tho record of the Democratic adminis
tration, Senator Reed of Missouri, told
tho senato today that tho Republican
party demanded a change, which, If
grnnted by tho people, would mean
tho precipitation of America into war
and the undoing of national prosper
ity built up by industrial commercial
and banking reforms during tho term
of President Wilson.
"If Mr. Hughes is to ho elected to
tho presidency," said Senator Reed,
"then it Is notice to all tho world that
Amorlca has repudiated Wilson's pol
icy of peace for tho Roosevelt-Hughes
policy of war.
"Let tho lssuo be not misunder
stood. Wo know, tho world knows,
that Woodrow Wilson will maintain
peace unless the nation's honor is as
sallod. Thoughful men know that a
president advised by Roosevolt, In
accord and agreement with Roose
velt, will stir up war if war bo pos
sible." Senator Reed referred to Mr.
Hughes' criticisms of the administra
tion's policy and reviewed tho utter
ances of Mr. Roosevolt since tho war.
Ho doclared Mr. Hughes "In complete
accord with a man who has persist
ently insisted wo should have inter
vened against Germany when she In
vaded Belgium; in complete accord
with a man who refers in coarse lan
guage io the president as a 'molly
coddle,' a man of 'weasol words'; in
complete accord with a man who
falsely asserts that wo wore bound by
treaty to engage In tho conflict against
Germany; in complete accord with a
man who demands universal military
service and war preparation upon a
scale not hitherto dreamed of."

FOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
EXPECTED IN TWO WEEKS
NOON-DAY LUNCHEON OF OR
GANIZATION AN INFORMAL
AFFAIR.
Informality prevailed on every hand
at the noon-day luncheon Wednesday
of the chamber of commerce. Formal
Bpeech-making was tossed aside and
such talking as was done was from
chairs. An enjoyable get-together dis
cussion was thus held.
Comment was made on the fact
that the chamber will be without a
secretary pending the arrival of a
now man to fill 'this ofllco, as former
Secretary Leopold went to Dayton the
first of tho week, having resigned.
The question was raised whether
tho luncheons should be discontin
ued until a new secretary arrives.
The sentiment was strongly against
any such step, mombors present ex
pressing themselves forcibly.
Plans were discussed for placing
the room in a moro nttractlvo shape,
so that advantage would bo taken of
it for rest room purposes. It was
suggested that a reading room, prop
erly Advertised, would bo greatly ap
preciated. Vlco President McCrackln stated
that it is not known at present who
the new secretary of the local cham
ber will bo. Mr. McKeand, head of
tho service company which Installed
tho local organization, has promised
to have a suitable man hero within
two wooks. It seems that, owing to
tho largo number of chambers of com
morco being organized, tho demand
for efficient secretaries exceeds the
supply. Tho salaries paid are high
and tho field Is a splendid one for a
young man with ability.
Committees of tho chamber of com
merco aro busy working out plans for
fall and winter activities and will re
port soon.
