Fraud in TWEEN liar Gold Pieces.
A new system Of fraud has mad
its appearance upon the larger de-
nominations of our gold coins. New
and unworn pieces are selected, that
they may circulate with less suspicion,
and the circumference and weight
slightly reduced to ths extent say of
seventy five cents to the 81, by turn
ing down the milling upon the edge
of the piece and remilling it. In the
absence of scales this fraud can only
be detected by comparison with a
piece that one is sure has not been
tempered with. Several of such coins
have been stopped at the Boston SUBJ
treasury. They were chiefly $50 gold
pieces

SAMUEL f. WECHTER.
He is Found Dead With His Head Stuck
in the Shallow Waters Ofth
Nimishillen.

Between and o'clock Sunday morning. a
telephone message came to police headquarters
stating that man had been found in the west
creek. Officers BeCherer and Reed went out
with the patrol wagon and short distance be.
low the Tuscarawas street bridge came upon
the lifeless body of Samuel +. Wechter, of 227
West Seventh street. He was lying on his
face with his head in about eight inches of
water and his feet on the icy bank.
Coroner McQuate was summoned and the
body taken to Undertaken Shilling's office. IN
the afternoon Doctor Smith and Robinson as
sisted the coroner in post mortem examina.
ton and the body was then removed to his
late home.
The corpse was found by two boys, Andrew
Lothamer and companion named Hall.
Wechter's Overcoat was on the bank of the
creek, and profound
AIR OF MYSTERY
surrounds the whole circumstance of his death.
Saturday night he came home with some
groceries but forgot something and about Z
o'clock went back to Lippert's store or West
Tuscaswas street to get what he had forgotten.
This was the last ever seen of him
by his wife, until he was brought into the
house dead twenty hours later.
The dead man had S1.4O in money on his
person when found and his watch was in his
Oyercoat pocket on the bank.
Mr.. Wechter was hard working man of
about forty years Of age, employed as foreman
at Dicks agricultural works. lie was well of,
had home and some money and steady work.
Some years ago he was in the habit Of going
on periodical sprees, at which times he would
4. I,,tE 60,
he has been perfectly sober and he often said,
he had quit that sort of a life. He was a
jolly, goOd-natured man and never had enough
trouble TO bother him much.
The circumstances surrounding the case
make il appear like suicide and yet no cause
can be assigned for such action. 1t was rumOr-
ed Sunday that he had lot of money Satur-
day, and that it was probable that he had been
sandbagged. The coroner reports the rumOrs
unfOunded, and that there were no marks of
violence anywhere on his person.
II is possible that he became bewildered, and
went down to the creek, threw his overcOat on
the bank and lay down TO sleep, but the doc
tors say there was no indication that he had
been drinking, and he did not seem to have
drowned.
The coroner being called to Massillon Mon.
day morning was unable to complete his inves-
tigation. From the testimony of the physic-
ians, however 1t is more than likely that
Wechter came TO his death from sudden at
tack of heart trouble. The most reasonable
solution OF the mystery is that he was suddenly
taken i'll and in dazed and bewildered
condition wandered down to the creek, grew
rapidly worse and not knowing what he was
doing took of his coat and fell over into the
water dead.
John Faley seems to have been the last man
to see him. He talked with him at 7:20 o'clock
and Wechter was sober and in excellent spirits.
The funeral will be held at ? o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon. Interment in Westlawn
cemetery.

SHE WILL NOT RUN.
Mrs. Shively Says She is Not a Repub-
Iican and Will Not Serve
the Party.

The women sufiragists of Canton are con
siderably agitated over what they consider
republican scheme to create dssention in their
ranks and lead to the defeat of the school
board candidates they have nominated, On
Saturday republican paper declared that the
republican central committee had received the
announcement of Mrs. Francis Shively as
candidate for school board, independent of
those nominated at the woman's convention.
The paper stated that she had declared herself
for republican principles and that she had
been supported at the woman's convention by
those who favored nominating through the old
party organizations, rather than on non
partisan basis. Mrs. Shively was seen
by NEWS reporter and she
feels very much hurt by the report. She says
the statements made are untrue; that, if her
name has been announced as a republican can
didate IL has been done without her knowledge
or consent, that no one has consulted her about
running on the republican ticket, and If they
had, she would have declined; that she did not.
nor does not, propose to endorse the re-
publican party, for she is loyal
prohibionist. Furthermore Mrs. shive-
ly said; The report has placed me
in very embarrassing light before the public.
Before the women's convention the committee
called upon me, and asked me il l would allow
themto use my name rs candidate. did not
want to, but, knowing that some one must, /
consented on the ground that it was to be an
independent movement l am very we'll salts
fled with the candidates nominated, and would
not think of running against them, much less
ON the Republican ticket The report would
make II appear that l wanted the office,
and was sore because 1 was not
nominated at the woman's meeting, and had
determined 70 run any way. | do not want
Office and will not be candidate ON the re-
publican ticket"
prominent suffrage worker speaking of
the matter said: IL think | see through it all.
The republicans are getting frightened lest the
women will rally to the polls and elect their
candidate. This would, of course, preclude
the idea of the election Of the
men who have been slated by the
republicans for that Office Now In order TO
head of this woman's movement the republi-
cans announce another woman, TO divide up
the vote and create dissention and jealousy
| II possible. Ifperchance the women all fail
to get onto the official ticket, as the machine
expects and is trying TO bring TO pass, then the
party managers will come TO the ladies and say (:
why look you, did we not try To
help You and favor the ladies' come
you now and help u.s. lis pretty sharp
