Craig's Stand As To Ireland Is Sustained Public Spooning and No Street Cars Man's Platform; Is Elected Youngstown, Ohio, Nov. 9. A man who has lived in Youngstown but three months and whose platform pro vided for discontinuance of street car service, turning the streets over to jitney buses and for jailing any citizen who paid taxes under a recent re-valuation, was elected yes terday mayor over candidates backed by the major party organizations. He is George L. Oles, who came in from the country, established a residence in a hotel and carried on an eccentric advertising campaign without the support of any particular element or organization. u Other "planks" in Oles' platform included permitting "spooning" in city parks under police protection, dismiss ing the entire police force if it "doesn't mend its ways" and a promise to turn over his salary to charity. The women's vote is believed to have been responsible for Oles' election. BODY OF MARTYR ARRIVES .rz m Guns Along Potomac Boom Presidential Salute As Unknown Hero Passes Washington. Nov, 9.

The taxes voted Saturday by the 29 districts total $54,331.56. Failure of the road districts to comply with the provisions of the budget law passed by the last legislature, and which is giving trouble to road districts all over the state, is to be blamed for the present predicament in which the districts find themselves. The law provides that before a 1 " road district can levy a special tax it must hold a budget meeting at which it is decided what roads' I are to be Improved and what amount of money is to be voted. Permission must then be Becured , 1 j TJtnmT from t'le county court to improve Kentucky ana mary- the roadB B0 aelected. a special land VoterS EleCt election must then be held.

The man, poorly described by those who saw him, first called at the home of Miss Helen Yockey, 225 Union street, a neighbor of Mrs. Browning. When he was re fused at the Yockey home he sauntered next door, apparently with a new determination.

Four masked men broke into the Twin City Sentinel newspaper office early this morning, overpowered Nightwatchman Albert Rhodes and wrecked the printing press, linotypes and other equipment. The damage was estimated at be tween $9000 and $20,000. Indications were that sledge hammers or other bluut instru ments had been used in an effort to destroy the equipment. The Sentinel, a recently organ ized publication, supported John E. Repha, republican candidate for mayor, who was defeated in yes terday's election by Frank Calla han, independent. Feeling over the election was declared to have been running high and yesterday Repha appealed to the state gov ernment at Indianapolis for pro tection. Major A. P.
