HOLT CHEATS Continued From Page One. . der burns on the face or mouth. If he had been killed by an explosion even a layman could have told it." It was today that Holt had set as the time for" telling his complete story to the authorities, but instead of relating his career as a dynamiter, he lay on a slab in the Hempstead morgue. The belief of the authorities is that he was led to suicide by the fear that he would be identified as Erich Muenther, the former Harvard instructor, who murdered his wife with poison in 1906. If he had been identified as Muenter, the man who shot Banker Morgan last Saturday would have been taken to Massachusetts to stand trial for murder. - By his suicide Holt " cheated the laws of two states, Massachusetts and New York, and also escaped prosecution under the federal laws for setting off a bomb in the capitol last Friday night. The authorities are of the opinion that Holt was insane. To confirm this belief, it was announced here today, Dr. Carlos McDonald, the New York alienist, will make a complete examination of the brain of the dynamiter. The final disposition of the body of Holt depends upon word received from his wife, who is now with her parents in Dallas, Texas. SUES FOR CLAIM. Greensbury-.

SHIVELEY'S DECISION SETS ASSESSMENTS FOR NETTLE DITCH Special Judge Uphols Report of Commissioners in All But Three Cases of Remonstrance.

The hard fought Nettle Creek ditch case,-which has been through more legal procedure than any other case on file in the Wayne circuit court and which has been under three judges, may be terminated by a decision-handed down today by' Special Judge Ray K. Shiveley. .. . I "" , ; Mr. Shiveley upheld the : report of the ditch commissioners, fixing as sessments on more than fifty properties where remonstrances were filed, except in three cases, where he modified the assessments. " The decree also established the ditch as a drainage channel through Randolph county and into wayne countv on the eastern edge of Dalton township, finally joining the west fork of the Whitewater river. Assessments. Changed. The assessment of Edward O. Beeson was fixed at $100. The assessment of Fred L. Beeson was fixed at $260. in Wayne county and $452 in Randolph county. The assessment of Morris Pitman was made $15. The decree ordered that $220 assessed against Sallie Lamb, holder of a life estate in Dalton township property, be paid, $82.50 by Sallie Lamb Mendenhall and $137.50 by . Alice Williams, owners-of the property. Levi C. Peacock was appointed to have charge of the ditch and collection of assessments in the future and ordered to file bond in the sum of $6,000 The Nettle Creek ditch suit has been on file since October, 1913. Exparte proceedings were first . brought by John T. Burrows and fifty or sixty others. Later there was a split between the property owners, part of them remonstrating against the ditch. The remonstrators then split into factions, the separate factions fighting against the assessments. The case first came under Judge Fox and was later transferred to Judge James J. Moran of Portland, who appointed John H. Bickel and William A. Lewis ditch commissioners, with County Surveyor Peacock to assist. The appointment of the commissioners occasioned another iega'. battle. When Judge Moran resigned as circuit judge of Jay county to become state appellate judge, Ray K. Shiveley was appointed to handle the case. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR IN ANNUAL SESSION Evangelist on Program Ev ery Day While Workers From All Parts of Country Meet in Chicago. CHICAGO, July 7.

INFORMAL NOTE Continued From Page One adopt a broad and general policy to meet the position of the United States that Americans have a right to travel on peaceful missions anywhere and on any ships except those actually en gaged in warfare. It is understood that Germany will propose that Americans should go only on certain marked vessels, the United States to notify Germany in advance of the departure of such ships and to certify, after inspection, that the ves sels so exempted do not carry contra bands of war. It is believed here that the United States can not accept such a sugges tion,' because it "does not meet the broad view of the Washington govern ment on the rules of international law and the protection of life at sea, under what President Wilson has termed "the laws of humanity."

WILSON'S NOTE Continued From Page One lively fight which will be launched in congress at its forthcoming session by promoters of various transcontinental Lighways to have congress select their particular route as the one designated to receive the support of the federal government. It is believed that because of the intense rivalry between the promoters of the various national highways that President Wilson believes it would be unwise for him to in any way indicate a preference of routes until some action has been taken by congress. Complete Organization. A very complete organization in northern Ohio, Indiana and Illinois has been effected by the promoters of the Lincoln highway and the Lincoln Highway association intends to bring all possible pressure to bear on congress to have that route taken over by the federal government. Dr. Harold, who is, perhaps, the most active worker in the ranks of the Old Trails National Road association, frankly declares that if that organization expects any success in having its route selected by congress every county through which the highway passes, from Maryland to Missouri, must effect as strong and enterprising organization of boosters as Wayne county has. Dr. Harold also states that it is his intention to launch a movement to bring about county boosting associations. He thinks that good roads organizations in Dayton and Columbus will soon be interested in the work of organizing the state of Ohio and he is looking to Indianapolis boosters to aid the Wayne county association in organizing the various counties in Indiana through which the National road l.asses. There were 1,234 forest fires in California during the last year. Call up 2015 or 2016 and

HELD TO APPLY TO INSTRUCTORS - Township trustees learned today from At wood Jenkins. that every school teacher, hack driver, road supervisor and road workman in their employe would come under the provisions of the workmen's compensation act effective Sept 1. The township will be required to pay the costs. Except for the complexity of the operation of the law in some cases, the trustees will not be greatly inconvenienced. In Wayne township, the expense will be approximately 50 a year for the average trustee outside of Wayne township. The greatest confusion is expected to result from the shifting road gangs.

August 4, the regular meeting day, will be devoted to an all-day picnic for Jackson park.
