William Sorg, of New Philadelphia, who was appointed steward of the Massillon state hospital a year ago, may involuntarily retire from oliice next August. With him, it is believed, will go the board of trustees of the institution, as there is every indication that the central board bill for the government of state institutions, passed almost without amendment by the low or branch of the general assembly, will go thiough the senate in the same way. The bill is one of Governor Harmon's pe is.

The bill, if passed, will reduce the board of trustees and the steward of the nineteen state institutions with a non-partisan central board to be appointed by the governor, which would purchase all supplies and look after the economic affairs of the charitable institutions. argument that the bill would affect the labor world because it empowers the board to determine what form of employment shall be required at the state penitentiary and to use convict labor for the manufacture of supplies for the charitable institutions falls flat when it is remembered t-hat the interests of the laboring man are affected just as much if not more by the convict labor said Supt. Eyman in discussing the fight that being made in the senate to prevent the passage of the bill. spite of the opposition I feel confident the senate will follow the example of the lower house. The labor leaders who went to Columbus to protest against the pas sage of the bill became its friends when it had been carefully explained to The bill is so drafted as to enable the central board to put the penitentiary convicts to work making supplies for the school buildings.

They could make all the desks needed by the school boards of the various cities, townships and villages of the state, or, if thought best, they could make brick for roadways. Dr. Eyman said that the section of the bill in question had been copied word for word from the New York state law which was considered the best of its kind ever enacted. He said that the need of giving convicts employment had never been felt more keenly than at present when the inmates of the penitentiary are idle as the result of the expiration of the contracts with concerns which handled their product. He said he believed it would be much better for both state and convicts if the latter worked for the former rather than for private interests.

10 TRUCE OF CARROLL CO. PRISONERS FOUND Carrolton, Feb. a search lasting a week, no trace of Sam Marrow and John Chambers, prisoners, who broke out of the Carroll county jail at Carrollton, has been found. Sheriff Arbaugh, of Carroll county, has sent the description of the two prisoners to sheriffs over the entire state and a close lookout is being made for their capture. Columbus, Feb.

increases in the salaries paid to deputies and clerks in county offices will be effectually prevented if a Dili which Senator William N. Shaffer oi Paulding has drafted becomes law. He figures it will effect a saving to the eighty-eight counties of Ohio of 105,752 as shown by last year's figures. The commissioners will be left free to fix the amount for clerk hire to certain limit and no regular salaries will be disturbed. The bill is designed to equalize the expenses of various county officers between counties.

bill provides for a sliding scale in determining the amount of money to be expended. Allowances For Clerk Hire. The office of auditor, treasurer, recorder and probate judge are allowed for clerk hire 25 per cent for the first $2,000 collected, 40 per cent for the next $8,000 and 60 per cent for all more than that amount. The clerk of courts and the office are provided with schedules by which they are allowed 30 per cent lor the first $2,000 collected, 40 per cent for the next $8,000 and 80 per cent for all more than $8,000. Shaffer reports conditions in tv counties which the bill is designed tc remedy.

For 1910 the smaller of the two counties had a clerk hire bill cl $4,320. Under the new apportionment it would receive only $1,992.92. A county twice as large received only $3,216.50 and under the new schedule would receive $4,115. Another feature of the bill is that it would encourage county officials tc pay more attention to the collection of fees due the county. Ex-Officials of Pen to Be Called.

Hanley, of Dayton, to make trouble for Governor Harmon and J. .1. Whittacre congressman-elect from the eighteenth Ohio district for their support of Pom erene during the senatorial fight.

A proposition has been made by friends of Hanley Jo gerrymander the Eighteenth Ohio mstriet, and to place Stark county in another unit, with Carroll and Columbiana counties.
