ters' Issue Statement As
suming Responsibility.
, County Clerk Chauncey Florey an
nounced tills afternoon that he would
call the special election for the recall
of Sheriff Charles E. Terrlll. The call
will be issued tomorrow, which will
throw the election on Tuesday, August
J St.
"There lias been considerable con
tention on both sides regarding the
legal phases of this matter," said the
county clerk, "and I have opinions
from the state attorney general and
the district attorney upholding the
position that signers do not have to bo
voters at the last general election. I
am personally satisfied that "there are
enough in the 1700 names to complete
the required 1235 names. There is
nothing for me to do but call the elec
tion." Every possible legal phase of the
matter was gone into before the final
step was taken, entailing an estimated
expense of between $3000 and $4000.
The candidacy of D. M. Lowe, farmer
and fair exhibit collector, who will
make the race against Sheriff Terrlll
..was also confirmed.
Responsibility for the promoting of
the recall is taken by the Revs. W.
J lid son Oldfleld and C. F. Koehler of
Ashland, in a column article in the
. "Open Forum" department of the Ash
land Tidings of yesterday. The claim
is made that the Ministerial associa
tions of Ashland and Medfofd, and the
W. C. T. U. bf the same cities, back the
movement, though" it' is known that
local ministers are divided on the
issue.
f The letter urges citizens "not to be
cloud the issue" by believing reports
that the Ku Klux Klan Is back of the
recall, which (the recall) Is referred to
as a "righteous movement." The ex
ploded charge that Sheriff Terrlll "was
drunk at Kingsbury Springs" is reiter
ated, and the claim made that affida
vits arc ready to prove other allega
tions against the sheriff.
; The letter then closes:
" politics of that unsavory
kind which is always with us, has
lifted its head to shout the praises of
the sheriff and to endeavor to retain
Mm in office. For various motives
many people, who are of the highest
character and cleanest purposes, have
joined hands with this political enter
prise. But is it not strange that those
who have rallied to the defense of
Terrlll are for the most part those who
are thought to be liberal in the Inter
pretation of the ISth amendment?
t The writers are confident that if
.'the Christian- 'people and the lnw
Jdding people of the county permit
is recall to Bo by default, that they
Wve dealt a staggering blow to poli
tical cleanness, moral Integrity in
government and law enforcement.
Fhall the boozers rule at the eourt
.liouae. or will the citizenry of the
county show those who govern there
that they must rule Justly or be
turned out of office?"
It is signed. W. Judson Oldfleld

B- & 0. Reports Unable to
Operate in Ohio, Owing to
Strike Other Reports Are
Unverified Govt. Prepares
to Suppress Disorders.
WASHINGTON, July 11. Tho gov
ernment stood ready today to assist in
the suppression of any disorders which
may arise from the strike of railway
shopmen to interfere with transporta
tion of the mails or the movement of
inter-state commerce. Appointmont of
a number of deputy marshals has been
authorized by Attorney Genera! Duitgh
erty. This policy will bo continued where
ever justified and required, the attor
ney general stated.
Tho announcement of the depart
ment of Justice failed to check today
the stream of reiiorts to the postoffice
department of interference with mail
service.
S. H. Crisler, superintendent of rail
way mail service at St. Louis reported
in telegrams to Postmaster General
Work that 3000 miles of railway mail
service on the Wabash railroad were
not being operated.
Mr.' Crisler added that the fuel situa
tion was serious because of tho appar
ent Impossibility of getting coal moved
over foreign lines from the mines for
use by the road.
Postmaster General Work received
from C. W. Galloway, vice president of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad com
pany, the following telegram today:
"The Baltimore and Ohio was oblig
ed to annul the operation of Its train
No. 40 from Flora, 111., to Shawnoe
town, 111., yesterday morning and on
that account was unable to perform
United States mall service between
these points on account of action of
strikers who would not permit our offi
cers and employes who were on the
ground at Flora to make up trains.
"1'he company had equipment in pro
per condition and forces necessary to
operate this service, but was prevent
ed from doing so by failure of local
autnorltlcs to maintain order and pro
vide protection for our employes. I
am bringing this to your personal at
tention In view of the possibility of
more extensive and serious officulties
in that section."
In many instances, It was said,
postal inspectors had failed to verify
reports sent to the department by rail
way officials. In Missouri and Louis
iana, It was explatned, inspectors had
found a less serious situation than had
been reported to them.
The postoffice department will not,
it said, recommend drastic action by
federal or state forces at any point
until Inspectors have made certain of
the facts as reported. It was intimat
ed at the postoffice department that
the postmaster general was prepared
to lay before the president at today's
cabinet meeting a complete report of
alleged interference with mail.
