The committee consists o f Hon, Prank H. Reighard of Wauseon, form, en Republican leader of the House of Representatives; Q. W. Gillette of the Ohio Association for Tax Reduction o f Columbus; Hon. James J. Curlett, county auditor, Xenia; Hon, Theodore Kemp, Jr., Democratic member of the House of Representatives, Newark, and R. L. Seeds, president of the Property Owners Co-operative Asso­ ciation of Franklin county. Committee members stated that both Democratic and Republican leaders over the state are giving their hearty support to the referendum, with reports of a very large number of signjbrs already ob­ tained. practically the entire herd was strick­ en in a few hours. A veterinarian, hurriedly called s.ve many of the cattle, but eight Angus and four Jersey cows died. Twenty-five to 30 others will recover it is believed. The movement to reduce taxes has become almost violent in some sec­ tions o f the state. This was par ticularly evident in Columbus the past week when 2,000 or more people stormed the county auditor’s office in­ sisting on a 20 per cent reduction in land tax values. There have been similar movements in other parts of the state, Dayton, for example. Geo. M. Neffner, Statistician and Editor of Ohio Laws, representing Secretary o f State George S. Myers, gave a talk over Station WLW o f Cincinnati, April 25, on the subject, “ The Department of State in Relation to the Civil Government of Ohio." Among other things, Mr. Neffner told •of the conduct of elections in the state, over which Mr; Myers has general charge. He stated that the total cost iri Ohio in 1932 was over $2,440,- 000, and that the Secretary ,of State has recommended to the general as­ sembly /that steps be taken to reduce ,the cost o f election in the state. The address also . described, how the initiative and referendum may be “utilized by tire voters o f the state to biding about reforms they desire or to prevent laws going into effect which they regard objectionable. Recent removal o f many state de­ partments into the new 3tate office building has caused some confusion in the minds o f the public and even state employes as to the exact loca­ tion o f the various offices. T. S. Brindle, director o f public works, has compiled a floor directory of the building that gives the location of the departments by floors and rooms. Ac­ cording to this directory, the depart­ ments are located as follows t Aero­ nautics, ground floor, agriculture, seventh, with conservation on eighth; civil service, fifth; commerce, rooms on third, fourth, fifth and tenth; education, principally on sixth, with film censorship in basement and li­ braries on Hth and 13th; governor’s office, finance and telephone exchange on tenth; health on 11th with statistics on ground uoor; highways on eighth and ninth, with auditor on dustrial relations on first, second,' dustrial relations on firt, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth; phar­ macy board and prohibition commis­ sion on ground boor; public works, seventh, with building manager in basement; public welfare on 12th. The state library and traveling library have not been moved into the office building yet, their removal de­ pending. upon future action by tht legislature. The Wyandotte building is Occupied by the chauffeur’s license division, Ohio liquor control commmis- sion, state relief commission, farm and home protective committee, state housing board, veterans o f forgein wars, state medical board, state board o f architect’s examiners, 37th Di­ vision, A.

Stuber, assistant chief of the Bureau o f Education in the Division of Conservation. In a special bulletin issued this week, Mr, Stuber says that fish must have fleas i f they are to thrive. Mr. Stuber stated that fleas are so important to successful fish culture that the flea industry is being developed at the in­ land hatcheries by T, II. Langlois, chief Of the bureau o f fish propaga­ tion. Of course they are water fleas that Mr, Stuber is talking about. Mr. Langlois has begun moving breeder bass from the wintering ponds to the breeder ponds. Commissioner Wm. H. Reinhart anticipates a record hatch­ ing season this year and wants the public to know of the valuable service being rendered by the division o f con­ servation in restoration o f fish life to Ohio wateMii ( iu School Building Called Fire Trap The elementary, grade school build­ ing at the O. S.and S. O. Home, built in 1876 and condemned: as a fire trap by Statee Fire Marshal^Frank r;G.: Henry last week, has been the .tar­ get o f trustees for several years. Trustees asked for an appropriation of $200,000 to finance rasing the build­ ing and erecting a new school, in the budget for the present two year ap­ propriation period, but have practical­ ly given up hope o f obtaining the money because of the condition o f state finances! The same request was contained in Clemons, $5,498.35; Zora B. Ritenour, ------$1£71.02; R- C. Ritenour, $1,246.33; the budget two years ago, when the,; "! , , ’ , , , , r , ....

Red Cross chapter and her assistant, Miss Katharine Smith, have accepted voluntary salary reductions to help fi­ nances o f the chapter. Directors have ,also negotiated for a reduction in rent of its quarters from the Dowling estate. Curtail­ ment o f other expenses is being worked out by a finance committee composed of Dr. B. R. McClellan, City Manager M. C. Smith, I. S, Dines and D. A. Margruder Failure o f the Community Chest to reach its goal is blamed for the straitened financial condition of the chapter, which does not have enough income in prospect to carry on until the first of the year. P. E. Cox has been named chairman o f a special committee to consider means of rais­ ing additional funds. Other members of this committee are Dr. W. H. Til- ford, Charles Adair. Mrs. L. S.

JURYHADNO VERDICTATNOON THURSDAY The jury considering the charges against McClain Catter- lin was still out at noon Thurs-. day, having been in session from 10:25,. Wednesday. Predicts Decline In Young Students A jury of ten men and two women hearing the charges of violation of the Ohio securities act by McClain Cat- terlin, 65, Brazil, Ind., promoter of the so-called ancient estates, Harper, Cox, Bogarflug, etc., received the case at 10:25 Wednesday and not having reported at 10:30 p. m., was ordered locked up for the night ih a Xenia hotel. That the jury would be divided ot require some time-for deliberation, was expected- owing t o the great volume of testimony offered by both the state and defense during the trial which lasted seven or more. days. Catterlin was being tried on a “ four- point” indictment. Judge R. L. Gowdy read the lengthy charge to the jury which required forty-five minutes and outlined three forms of a verdict in case guilt was deteermined upon. (1) Verdict Catter­ lin guilty on ail four counts; (2) Ver­ dict of not guilty; (3) Verdict o f guilty or not guilty of any one or more of the individual, counts, An unusual event happened Tues­ day afternoon while Prosecutor Mar­ cus McCallister was making a final argument to the jury, At the time the Prosecutor was commenting that Catterlin by his own estimony had been engaged in an investigation o f supposed trust estates of the Mercer family for twenty-five years. Dr. J: C. Jones, South Charleston, a veterinarian, who was a spectator, suddenly lunged forward shouting to McCallister: “He knows more than you do. What do you know?” Jones was. soon overpowered by Baliff Swigart and ejected from the court­ house by- Sheriff Baughn, The prosecution charged that fed- . eral nostal inspectors were unable to find any such estates as Catterlin was promoting, and. that Catterlin had never obtained evidence that ,they did exist. It was also charged that,A • promise o f fixed returns’ 'Had" beert ' ' made to buyers o f the certificates in the estates association. \ The defense maintained that Cat- terlin had acted in good faith and that . he himself was sincere in his belief that the estates in question existed. It was denied that the prosecution had any evidence to indicate intent to defraud.
