W. J. Means of Columbus, C. F. Humerlck of Carlisle, and J.

W. Bernes, of Detroit, were appointed a committee to draft the reply, whjjJi was taken up this morning. Pending the disposition of the letter to Commissioner Vorys, no action was taken on the" charges against Lloyd and Phillips, beyond referring them to a committee.

Under the constitution, they can be expelled only from the national ch'ap-ter, but not from the local chapter, or the order.

For 'that reason, it is said, the matter may be dropped. An amendment to the constitution will be made under which the national chapter can expel from the order. The laws committee will report amendments to the constitution today, and it is possible that the committee on nominations may report. Probably five changes will be made in the 15 national trustees.

W. A. Hilton, of Dayton, and John Ault, of Junction City, were visitors In this city to-day looking over the country to see if satisfactory clay can be found for the manufacture of fire clay sewer pipe, as well as other fire clay products. Both are men of long experience in the business and know what they are talking about. They met with the Sites committee of the Board of Trade, and the matter was thoroughly gone over.

The men have a good proposition, and if sufficient raw material can be found, desire to locate a plant at this point. Twelve kilns will be built and about 150 men given ein-playment. will tawketfifteen acres or more for the location of the plant. A vein of fire clay was found in the hill at the foot of Paint street, but the extent and quality of the city could not be determined by a superficial examination. In order to make a thorough examination, all farmers living within a radius of three miles of the city who think they have a vein of fire clay on their farm, are asked to bring in a small sample arid leave it with the secretary of the Board of Trade, Lyle S.

Evans, with the name of the man bringing it, and a short description of the location. Fire clay is either a white or gray clay. No other kinds are desired or will be accepted These samples will then be sent to Mr. Ault, for examination. Of those proving satisfactory a sufficient amount to make a fair test will then be sent and pipe manufactured of it.

If clay in satisfactory quantities can be found within reachable distance, the other arrangements necessary for the establishment of the plant will "be gone into, and will without doubt be adjusted.

Misses IJyer and Margaret Ballard, who were charmingly feted at a number of very pretty functions at Lexington, for the past ten days, are now at Richmond, Virginia, the guest of friends. MOTOR CAR OWNERS IN THE CITY Chillicothe is getting to be a great city for automobiles. This has been brought about largely by the location of the home of the Logan here.

In the past five years the number of automobiles has increased from nothing to nearly thirty owned by residents of this city. In this number are not included the machines used by the Logan 'for testing their motors, or In fact any of the machines at all In the Logan plant. Thenumber includes only those actually owned and used by Chillicothe citizens. Returns made byhe assessors this spring show that there were In the city by actual count 27 autos. In this number are not included twfc other machines known by the writer to have been purchesed since the returns were made.

The machines are divided ag follows: First ward, ten, valued Second ward four, valued at Third' ward, seven, valued at $1750; Fourth, ward, six, valued at $725. This makes a total valuation of $5975 for all the machines. Nearly all of them are valued by the assessors at a very low valuation and two of the number returned have no valuation at all placed on them, which would raise the total valuation about a thousand dollars more making $7000 represent the assessed value of the machines here. This does net Include the two machines lately purchased. Values for the machines run from $50 to $1000 for individual machines.

The number owned here compares more than favorably with many cities much larger than this. Columbus has only some 300 and odd machines on their registered list, and Cincinnati has not over a.hundred more than that. The fine ronds around here, and our paved streets have much to do with the popularity of the machine as well as Its use fur commercial purposes. Had Narrow Kseaw1. Mr.
