Robert Young, which has been pending for several months in Logan county, has been transferred to the courts of Union county as the defendant claims that everybody in Logan county Is acquainted with the details of the case and that public sentiment is against him. About a year ago Young kept a saloon in Center much against the will of the citizens, who tried in every way to close his place of business, and public feeling arose to such a point that the case was carried into the courts and he was finally checked by the higher courts. Soon after this he was arrested on the charge of assaulting a child in that place and was tried on the charge with the result of an acquittal on the evidence of Norville Ilan-Qum who swore that on the alleged night in which the assault occurred he knew Young was not the guilty person. Since that time Ilannum voluntarily confessed to Prosecutor Samuel West that he swore falsely in Young's interest and that he was paid $50 for so doing. At this turn in affairs, Young who is now a wholesale liquor dealer in Columbus, was arrested on the charge of subordination of perjury.

The case will be tried before Judge Young of Marion, be cause Young claims that Judge Dow is also prejudiced against him.

Audrew Colver was removed from the State Hospital. The first and final account of Stanley Gooding, administrator of the estate of Mary Carpenter, deceased, was filed. In the estate of Theodore Phelps, deceased, the application of D. J. Phelps, William Phelps and Spencer Phelps for letters of administration was filed and bond ordered in the sum of $000.

Lester Clark, guardian for Hattie May Clark, filed his third and final account. In the estate of Benson Brice, deceased, order of appraisement returned and continued. In the matter of the assignment of Fannie Hail, deed of assignment filed to Lewis honest officials would be even better than it is now. Speaking of his measure, the author says: "The idea Is simply that the state may know its officials are doing the duties for which they were elected. Now, when the taxpayers of a county ask for an examination Into the doings of some of their officials it creates excitement and immediately a suspicion Is raised that something is wrong, when 'perhaps nothing of that kind is suspected If this bill passed examinations being a regular thing authorized by the state and under state control, there would be no excitement attending the matter, and It would be looked upon as a part of regular procedure.

Officials would look more closely to their work and better results had all around. For that reason it ought to pass." Protests against and petitions for the abandonment of the canals still continue to pour in and flood the members If the canals were let loose the flood could not be greater. For things that were thoughMo be old and worn out and of no use, the canal3 have created enough excitement to warrant their continuance for 100 years. The sentiment of the people seems to be about evenly divided, shifting according to location, and the interests of the people petitioning. As a matter of fact the situation surrounding this legislation is as difficult of solution as It was a week, or even two weeks ago, and no one knows what the outcome will be, except that it may be definitely said the entire system will not be given up.

Portions of it here and there may be dropped wherever It can be. demonstrated that doing so will not result either In working Injury to the system as a whole, or to interests lying along the canal banks. Mr. Painter, of Wood, the original advocate of canal abandonment, still maintains that the waterways will be given -up in a large measure, but he admits that the entire 6ystem cannot be abandoned at this time. Tauc of an early adjournment Is vanishing.

With a volume of business before It consisting of-more than 600 unpassed bills and more coming In nearly every day, with the appropriation bill in a yet uncompleted state, and with the wheels moving slowly, the hope of getting through before the latter part of April is futile unless much that ought to be done 13 left undone. Things have not moved with the quickness and precision this year that they usually do, owing largely to the amount of important business which has been presented. The matter of redisricting the state, the municipal code bill, the canal abandonment measure, the proposed change In the primary election laws and the taxation reforms, hare all taken up time and prolonged the session. True, they offered opportunity, to members to demonstrate their eloquence, and masy new orators have been brought out, but It has all been done at the expense of early adjournment. Not one of these important measures is yet a law, and the fate of all bangs In doubt, the tide swinging back and forth day by day like a pendulum as new arguments for and against are presented.

The only bills which give any real hope of get-ting through without being amended out of all semblance of original form are the taxation measures, and It has taken much work and worry and the burning of midnight oil In committee room and executive chamber to give them promise of passage. The matter of redisricting is still up in the air, literally speaking, owing to the urgent demands made by representatives from everywhere that their counties must be taken care of. It was a week ago that the Twelfth district must be changed, and would be, but no sooner had this gone out than the Third and the Thirteenth, and others came In with a cry and protested that they were being unfairly treated and threatening to upset everything unless recognition were given them. In the hope of bringing some kind of a satisfactory agreement about and- facilitating a final vote, Chairman Painter, of the house steering committee, has called a caucus of the Republican members for Wednesday night of this week. At that time a vigorous attempt will be made to solidify sentiment and determine upon what shall be done.

Mr. Painter maintains that, dec pita any objection which can be raised and over the heads of all protests, the Twelfth district will be made to con-cist of Franklin alone, Fairfield going into the Seventh, but it is noticeable that his followers are not as sanguine as they were a week ago, while the advocates of no change can scarcely, conceal the pleasure they feel at the sltuatie Senator Harding's bill placing the state guard under the regulations of the United States -army has been passed by the upper branch and now awaits consideration in the house. It makes but few changes, but these changes are calculated to Increase the efficiency of the guard, although now of a high and satisfactory order. GEORGE U. MAR YIN.

Columbus, March 19. (Special.) There Is a somewhat tempestuous way ahead for the mu-cdcipal code bill even "when amend' cd to meet the demands made by different cities. Last week it looked as it the bill would slip through with an almost unanimous vote. George B. Cox, of Cincinnati, bad sent word that It was agreeable to him.

Dayton, Columbus and Toledo were all in line and It was supposed Cleveland would likewise give endorsement But suddenly on Monday the members from Cuyahoga announced that they would not support the measure. This wa3 followed by similar statements from other members, and it was discovered that a good sized opposition existed Wkiclx had needed but the opportunity to show itself. This opportunity was presented through the leadership of the Cuyahoga members. Mayor Johnson, of Cleveland, doubtless excited the animosity of the Cuyahoga men, and did It after a careful review of the measure which, be said, some of the representatives bad evidently neglected to dcx The chief complaint is that the bill classes together under one herd air municipalities of 5,000 people or more, and provides for the same form of government. He declares it to bo the beighth of folly to suppose that what wouJd be suitable for Cleveland and Cincinnati would.be equally well suited to a small town of 5,000 Inhabitants, He believes the reverse of this proposition to be equally lacking In the element of good judgment.

Moreover, the contention is made that the majority of the members have failed to read the bill with any care and axe lacking in anything like a comprehensive idea of its provisions, and for them, to vote for something they do not understand, he says, would be neglecting to perform their duty. Am to the failure to pick their way through the 1,200 sections of the bill many of the members must plead guilty, for to have done so would have meant the neglect of nearly everything else. The result of this determined opposition Is felt and the bill is not so sure of passage as it was a week ago. Its defenders, however, are working In Its behalf with most com mendable zeal, and refuse to admit that anything like defeat awaits them. Should the bill go under, its overthrow will be followed by a flood of local measures affecting different municipalities where changes in government are desired, and most of which the supreme court will probably declare unconstitutional.

This argument Is to be used In favor of the general bill, and. Indeed, Is the chief peg upon which its supporters are hanging their hopes. They contend that in no other way can the network of laws be untangled and anything like uni formity of city government had. That staid and solid member, Mr. Willis, of Hardin county, who seldom attempts to change established customs, has broken over his rule and prepared a bill advocating the creation of a new state department as if there wrere not enough state departments now.

He desires to secure an nual inspections of the affairs of the ofncials of every county in the state at least onee a year, In order that the taxpayers may have the gratifying knowledge that their money is being expended in the right way and their oflclals keeping close to the "straight and narrow path. To carry the oill into effect it would be necessary to appoint three Inspectors, who would work under the direction of the state auditor. These officials would be obliged to worry along on an annual salary of 52.000 each per year, together with their traveling expenses. But at that Mr. Willis says the Btate would be rr-QTT ahead.
