The resolution has already nassed the House. Hunt to Entreat Aid of the Governor Cincinnati, Ohio, May 26. As the result of developments in the George B.

Cox case, Prosecutor Hunt has de clared he would ask Governor Harmon to call an extraordinary session of the legislature, If necessary, to pass a bill to give to prosecuting at torneys the right of appeal in state cases and to curb the judicial tyranny in this country. "I will prepare a bill for presenta tion to the legislature when it meets next Wednesday," said Hunt. "Could such a law, if passed now, have any effect upon the proceedings in the Cox case," Prosecutor Hunt was asked. "Yes, it would be a change in the method of procedure or what is known as the adjective law, and would allow us to carry Judge Dick son's decision to the Supreme court and if that court reversed Judge Dickson, the indictments would still be in effect. As the law Is at present the state has no such authority, which is given only to the defendant In a criminal case." Attorneys for Cox gained at least a technical advantage Wednesday when they had a deputy clerk put on the court minute book the formal entry of dismissal of Cox under the two indictments against him.

The entries were dated last Saturday, when Judge Dickson handed down his decision. The entry is the one which it was thought was concerned in the mandamus suit to be heard in Circuit court next Saurday. Prosecutor Hunt did not discover until Thursday that the entry had been put on the record. Judge Dick son says he knows nothing about it. Attorney C.

W. Baker, representing Cox, and also counsel for Judge Dick son In the mandamus suit in Circuit court, says he presented the entry to the clerk, who put it on the court records. "Yes, that was put on Wednesday. The prosecuting attorney will find later than his mandamus suit was di rected against the wrong person. He should have mandamused the clerk and not Judge Dickson," he said.

President Diaz, In a letter read by the president of th echamber of deputies Thursday afternoon, resigned the presidency of the republic of Mexico, and at 5:54 the acceptance of the resignation by the deputies was announced.

Every one had expected an uproad and demonstration when the announcement was made, but within the chamber the words announcing the event were followed by a dead silence. The deputies seemed awed by what had taken place. i In the streets, howver, black with people, every street leading to the hall being blocked, news that Diaz was at last no more the president was the signal for wild shouting and manifestations. There was no violence nor destruction of property. On the motion to 'accept the president's resignation 167 deputies voted aye, while two of them did not express themselves.

They were Benito Juarez, a descendant of President Juarez, and Concepcion del Valle. As their names called other legislators arose and bowed their affirmation.

Of scarcely less interest In the Popular mind was the practical assumption of military control of the federal district by Alfredo" Bobles Dominguez, Madero's personal representative.

Personally, Dominguez commands nly a small body of local rebels, but the federal garrison is under orders to make no move whatsoever without securing his approval. Senor Dominguez stated that he can bring 5.000 organized rebel troops into the city within three 'hours.

It was learned that the fans of Chillicothe were expecting to attend the games in a body and that a couple of cars had been chartered. We don't know, but of a bunch of fans come to Lancaster on Decoration Day, Chillicothe will be given one grand beating.

The Lanks would rather defeat the Babes than any other team in the league and Memorial Day will be the one good opportunity to turn the trick. Lancaster is Having a Mad Dog'JScare Lancaster, Ohio, May 26. Dr. R. F.

Mondhank received word Wednesday evening from the Columbus bacteriologist who, examined the dog head sent up Monday morning and it was reported that the dog showed a pronounced stage of the rabies. It was also advised that the children bitten by the dog on Saturday even ing be taken away for the Pasteur treatment for hydrophobia as soon as possible. Rufus Chappuis of East Fifth avenue, father of the little five-year-old girl that was bitten called on members of the board of county com missioners for instructions what to do and he was advised to take his daughter to Columbus where the Pas' tuer treatment is given patients at the O. S. so Mrs.

Chapman and Mrs. M. Killoren, mother of the 7- year-old boy, Willie Killoren, of 292 Madison avenue, who was also bitten. left for Columbus at 7:30 Thursday morning to have their children treat ed. Mrs.

There are few dogs that are worth risking the danger of hydrophobia and all the canines in Christendom could not compensate for one death from this most horrible of all diseases. SWEET ON CHARLIE GRAVES Pay Him a Visit and Rob Him Third Time in Year. JUST GOT THE HABIT Of Robbing His Store So ne Carried His Valuables Home With Him, But That Made No Difference $75 in Money Secured and $2,000 in Securities Got in Wrong Wondow But Delay Was Slight. The residence of C. A.

Graves, postmaster at Anderson's Station, was burglarized Thursday night between 10 tnd 12 o'clock, the robber or robbers making escape good after the perpetration of the crime. This makes the third time within the past year that Mr. Graves has been the victim of burglars. Entrance was first gained to the house by break ing a catch on one of the dining room windows but when he found the door between the dining and sitting rooms locked, the burglar climbed back out of the window and then repeated the same operation, getting into the house this time through a window of one of the bed rooms, usually occupied but at present un used, owing to the fact that Xhe house is being cleaned. As far as can be learned the bur glar made away with a pocket book containing a $2000 certificate of de-posite on the Valley Savings Trust $25 in bills and eight notes, on various parties ranging in value from $10 to $122.

He also secured two shot-sacks post-office money amounting to $26.10, the other containing about $25, a small portion of which belonged to the B. O. and a pass from Anderson's Station to Chillicothe One of these bills' was a $1 bill, with a picture of Abe Lincoln the right eye being marked for identification with a cross in red ink over the right eye. Two pairs of trousers were also taken, but these were searched and left lying in the yard. In a pocket of one of the pair of trousers, which happened to he worn by Mr.

Graves on Thursday, a pocket-hoot containing a check for $5 and sundry other articles was overlooked. The burglary was discovered about 2 o'clock in the morning, when Mrs. Graves awoke and felt a draft of cold air coming into her room. An investigation led to the discovery that the house had been burglarized and the authorities here were immediate ly notified. Deputy Sheriffs Swep- ston and Rothe immediately went to the scene of the crime, but so far they have been unable to unearth any clew which would lead to the discovery of the burglar.

It has been learned that a B. O. freight train, east bound, stopped at Anderson's abcut 11 o'clock, and that later in the night five other west bound freights stopped at the water tank. It is believd that the burglar came in on the east bound freight and left on one of the west bound trains. Authorities in all cities and villages nearby have been notified, but, as when they have been prepared upon non-standard forms by the proper au thority.

In the first case he holds that the fees paid for indexing must go into the general fee fund in the Auditor's office, while in the second case he says the advertiser is respon slble for the excess, and not the news paper which prints it as he prepares it.

GAIN IN ATTENDANCE Had Carried it Past 400 Mark and Most Pleasing Function Resulted-Entertaining program Amid Beautiful Surroundings And a Service of Good Things to Kat Was Given A Delightful Affair. The Sunday school of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church on Thursday evening was the guest of Its superintendent, Mr. John P. Phillips, and the manner in which he and his able corps of teachers entertained it made the occasion one of the brilliant events in the history of the Bchool.

A few weeks ago, Mr. Phillips promised to entertain the Bchool whenever the attendance passed the 400 mark, with the result that a short time afterward the attendance not only reached 400, but went past It, last Sunday reaching the 419 mark', and giving promise of rising still higher. As soon as the attendance reached 400,, preparations were begun for a reception and entertainment which would redeem the promise of the superintendent In a manner leaving nothing to be desired. Arrangements were made for 600 guests, and that number was in attendance on Thursday evening. The Sunday school room of the church was beautifully decorated for the occasion, the color scheme being ted, white and blue.

The two rows of pillars running through the center of the room offered an opportunity for decoration which was most artistically utilized by the decorators, and a network of bunting and flags was constructed between them. A similar effect was produced with red," white and blue crepe paper, upon the walls, while palms, ferns and other potted plants and carna- tions completed the artistically arranged decorations. The brilliant lighting brought out most beautifully the harmony of the decorations, and when filled with people the large room looked at its best. The program opened with Beveral musical numbers, a cornet and trombone duet by Messrs. Miles W.

Town-send and Walter F. Reis, entitled. "Afterward;" vocal solos, "Kathleen," by Mrs. J. D.

Withgott; "If I Were King," by Mr. Townsend, and a Scotch-Irish ballad by Mrs. Besse' Stevenson. Dr. A.

Hawk, pastor of the church, introduced Mr. Phillips, who spoke briefly, expressing his pleasure at having the opportunity to entertain the Sunday school and lta friends as his guests. Refreshments of cake and cream were served, and here it was that the perfect system in arranging for everything was demonstrated. Although there wera 500 people in attendance, every one, including the waiters, was served in just eight minutes, breaking the record for rapidity in serving. A complete plan, arranged with a view of avoiding all friction and delay.

had been worked out by Mr. O. M. Junk, who had charge of this por tion of the entertainment, and this was followed in every detail. In two places in the room were placed "well3," where ice water was served rapidly, and the wants of everyone attended to quickly.

The affair was a delightful one in every respect. Mr. Phillips was the recipient of compliments from all quarters upon his ability aj a host. It is expected that within another year the attendance will reach 500, and the Sunday school will make a steady effort to attain that figure. The event on Thursday evening, however, will be one long and pleasantly remembered, no matter what the future achievements of the Sunday school may be.

Good Bye, Doggie. A bird dog which stayed at Elks' saloon on Paint street bit the Iceman the other day, and the iceman prepared for the dog.

Defense has Inning. The defense in the case of Joseph Stallings vs Louis Marine, et al, today began the Introduction of its testimony, following upon the completion of the evidence of the plaintiff.

The case will not be concluded WILL HELP GREATLY In Furnishing Raw Material to Mill Here, Which Now Has to Import Front Canada and the Scandana vlan Countries Million Six Hun dred Thousand Acres of Woodlund Secured Mr. Mead's Views, Dayton, Ohio, May 26. H. E. Talbott and George H.

Mead, of the Mead Paper Pulp Company, have formed a syndicate to take over the New Lake Superior Paper Company of Saulte Ste Marie, Canada, and have organized a company with Mr. Talbott as president, with a capital of $8,000,000. Headquarters of the concern will be located in this city. Mr. Talbott has been doing contract work at the Soo for several years and became intimately (acquainted with the affairs of the Lake Superior company, which expended millions in developing a fine property, but entanglements arose which appeared Insurmountable The nature of Talbott'a work was such that he gained the confidence of Eastern Investors and English capitalists, with the result that the New Lake Superior company was formed.

The company acquired by pur chase two pulp mills, a sulphite plant making fiber, ond a ground wood mill making wood pulp, both built of stone. A pyrites mill as an adjunct to the sulphite plant and a foundry, machine shop and other necessary buildings are obtained. The original company secured a grant of pulp-wood timber, totaling 1,665,000 acres, from the Canadian Government, and a railroad built through this land, connecting with the plant at the Soo. The new company will build at once a paper mill costing in the neighborhood of $1,600,000 capable of producing 200 tons of print, newspaper, dally. The pulp plants will be re modeled and the plant made one of the most modern in the paper-manu- facturinf world.

Just at this time when reciprocity is engaging the at tention of publishers, this announcement will be received with considerable interest. The timber tract in extent would stretch in width from Dayton to Miamlsburg, and in length from Cincinnati to Cleveland. The water power is enormous, being from 15,000 to 18,000, and the combination of raw materials, water power and accessibility for shipping is re garded as ideal.

Mead vice-president, and they will control the syndicate.

There has been issued $3,500,000 in bonds and $4,200,000 in stock. London, Mon treal and Toronto capitalists are also interested. Mr. Mead, president of the Mead Pulp Paper of Chillicothe, when seen this noon concerning the above, said It was substantially cor rect. He further stated that the com pany here had for several years been investigating the manufacture of sul phite pulp, which is necessary in the making of book paper as well as news paper.

While the Canadian company Is distinctly for the manufacture of news paper, the sulphite pulp mill connected with it -will make a sufficient surplus entirely to supply the (Continued on Page Eight.)
