Tracewell. Pointing out that additional equipment is necessary for proper protection against fires such as that which swept the Ricketts block in the business district last week, causing uaiiiajsG estimated at $100,000, Chief Traceweil outlined the proposals for improvement of the fire fighting facilities in a letter which was read to the city solons.

The fire chief recommended the purchase of a pumper, 2,000 feet of hose and a distributing nozzle, and also pointed out that one of the 45- ioot ladders was damaged while firemen were fighting the fire at the Ricketts building and that it is unsafe for further use. Chief Traceweil pointed out in the letter to council that when more than two lines are used in lighting a fire the pressure is reduced "to such an extent that it makes it imperative to have equipment sufficient to take care of the emergency." A distributing nozzle, he pointed out, is necessary for conditions which maKe it impossible for firefighters to enter a burning building "either on account of fire or smoke." In fighting the fire at the Ricketts building last week local firemen were handicapped by the reduction of pressure resulting when a number of lines were placed in use, and it was not until the pump- ers on the New Philadelphia and Zanesville trucks were placed in use that sufficient pressure was obtained to place the flames under control. Seventy-three volunteer firemen worked with the city firemen in fighting the fire which caused the greatest loss which the city has suffered for a number of years, and an ordinance transferring $219 from Continued on Page Five Approximately 3.000 children andi presents were present to greet Santa Claus when he appeared at the courtsquare Monday evening and distributed 1.800 sacks of candy, i which had been provided for the oc- casion by the Coshocton Business i John Franklin Woods, 14. to Men's association.

PLEADS TO SECOND DEGREE i Leniency Death Summons Dres den Man Monday Night Everett J. Harding, 58, of Dresden died at 11 o'clock Monday night at Good Samaritan hospital, Zanesville. following an illness of several months with heart disease.

He had been ill at his home since early in the fall and was removed to the hospital Sunday. Mr Harding was prominent in Dresden fraternal circles, having been a member of the Dresden Masonic lodge and a past chancellor of the Dresden K. of P. lodge. He was also a member of the Presbyterian church.

Mr. Harding was born in Pennsylvania, and took up his residence in Dresden in 1914. at which time he operated a theatre in that village. For the past 10 years, however, he had been employed as an engineer and mechanic at the Dresden Paper Mill. His widow, of the late home, is the only survivor.

Funeral services are to be conducted at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon at the late home, with Rev. D. M. Ogilvie. pastor of the Dresden Presbyterian church, in charge.

Silver, state finance director, today took up the consideration of a request of the Ohio welfare department for appropriations aggregating about $25,000,000 by the state legislature this winter to meet anticipated expenses during the coming two years. The welfare department asks for this large sum for the purpose of carrying out a program of contemplated improvements for operating expenses at the state's penal, correctional and mental hygiene instRJSjiis during 1931 and 1932.

Many of the items listed will no doubt suffer severe cuts at the hands of Silver in an effort to trim it and fit it into the budget which Governor Myers Y. Cooper will send to the legislature. The Welfare department's report asks an appropriation of $11,801,000 for maintenance and $7,691,000 for personal service. No salary increases are requested. Due to increased populations at the various institutions, the department is asking for an increase of 5800,000 in Continued on Page Ten Woman Stricken While Attending Funeral Monday Mrs.

CLAIRSVILLE, Dec. 23 -Horror of the electric chair ceased its hold today on John Franklin Woods, the 14-year-old boy slayer of Martins Ferry. After being permitted to enter a I plea of guilty to a second-degree murder charge, the boy was sentenced to an indeterminate term in the state boys' industrial school at Lancaster.

He will probably be con- fined there until he is 21 years old, when he will be sent to either the state reformatory at Mansfield or the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus. Woods was the second boy to be sentenced for the death of William Meeker, aged Co.lerain farmer, who was fatally wounded when he, resisted the holdup attempt of Woods and Louis Kuhen, 17. Kuhen, also, was allowed to plead guilty to a second-degree murder charge. He was sentenced to Ohio periitentiary for life. The two youths were arrested shortly after the shooting a Woods was turned over to Juvenile authoriteis while Kuhen was held in the county jail.

It was at first thot that Meeker would recover from his wounds and Woods was sentenced to the reform school at Lancaster. Meeker later died and charges of murder in the first degree were placed against the two youths. Woods could not be brot to trial, however, as he was confined to the hospital at the industrial school recovering from an operation for appendicitis. Several weeks after Kuhen was Continued on Pace Ten G. 0.

MUTCHINSON I. N. S. SUff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 23--Sweeping disaffection in the ranks of the Republican party in the senate, growing out of revelations of efforts by Republican national committee officials to defeat Insurgents, caused deep concern among administration leaders today lest it disrupt their program and force the calling of a special session of the almost-Democratic seventy-sec-, ond congress.

The Hoover administration, to avoid a special session, must secure enactment of twelve major appropriation bills, carrying about $4.500,000,000 for government departments, within two months when congress reconvenes January 5. The defeat of one or more of these bills would compel the closing of government departments or the calling of an extra session of the new congress. The attack of Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the Republican national committee, on Senator George W. Norris, veteran insurgent leader, was reported to be but one of several drives against western progressives.

The insurgents themselves charged the party's leaders had helped to defeat Senator W. H. McMaster, of South Dakota, and tried to beat Senator Thomas D. Schall In Minnesota. This belief did nothing to harmonize differences between the insurgent and administration groups.

The old irreconclliable group, comprising regular as well as insurgent senators, annoyed the ad- Contlnued on PMC Ten New Dairy Plant Is Constructed on Heaton Farm Work has been started on the construction of a dairy plant which, it is promised, will be one of the most modern of its kind in this Funeral services will be held at the home of a sister in Frazeysburg Thursday morning at 9 o'clock.
