SUCCESS
OF the Solicitors
For the Akron Peoples S
Telephone Company.
Many Contracts Have
Already Been Signed.
Bell Company Trying to Starve
Competition.
The Monopoly Has Been Beaten In
Columbus.

The solicitors of the Akron Peo-
ple's Telephone company have met
with splendid success since they
started to canvass the city.
Business houses have not been Wis
tied. The outlook in the residence
section is excellent. 1t is certain
that this success will be more than
duplicated when the business men
are visited. a large number of them
were the most ardent advocates of
competition. They asked that an
Independent company come into the
field and they will throw their sup
port to it.
In Columbus the situation is very
similar to that in Akron. The Co
lumbus Citizen says:
N The report that the Central Union
Telephone company will appeal to
the courts to prevent competition is
probably well founded, but if this
method be resorted to, it will do
more harm to the old company than
to the new. 1t cannot more than
temporarily prevent the Citizens
Telephone company from doing bus
inees in Columbus. The people de-
mand competition and intend to have
it.
The franchise will be granted and
then there will be keen competition
between the old and new companies.
1t is often said that there is no senti-
ment in business, but the statement
is not true. If the old companies con-
tinue to make themselves offensive to
the people. these corporations will
find that they will be the losers
when the fight for supremacy
comes. The conduct of the
Citizens company has been
and has won for them the
respect of the people of Columbus.
They will have the support of the
people when they begin business,
and the harder the old company
fights now the harder will be their
lot when the citizens of Columbus
decide which company they will
patronize.
The Chicago Record, in speaking
of the telephone war in the North
west, says of the Erie or Bell syndi-
cate:
In Michigan the Erie syndicate 10

ARcADES BEAT oRIENTs.
Newark Shutters Score an Over
whelming Victory.

The Orient Switchboard Club went to
Newark last night and met the Arcade
team at Murray's Arcade board in the
second game of the home and home series.
The Newark contingent scored an over
whe1ming victory and in view of the fact
that last week the Orients lost by but
five points the result was somewhat OF a
painful surprise. The Jersey City team
lost cheerfully and bows to the superiority
of it's Newark friends. The board was
III poor condition.. but otherwise the ac-
Communications were excellent. After the
game a supper and a general good time
was enjoyed by all those present.
When the game opened the room in
which the board is was crowded to the
doors and the speculations on the result
led to the changing of much money.
Morris and Evans led off for the teams
and the Newark man had an easy time
of it. Evans went to pieces for some
reason, and in just sixteen frames Morris
had beaten him Is points. The play was
at Is points. Hansen, of the Orients,
pleased his friends by the way he played.
He has been unsuccessful several times.
but whenlit looked as if every point would
be needed he played an excellent game.
His opponent, Crane. lost to him by six

him to get high score honors, but the
second game was Herig's chance and he

204. The second game gave Herig 2o5,
and thus they fought for the honors
among themselves, while their struggle
to defeat each other dealt death to the
Mantle efforts. Almost every high team
score made was made against the Man

The Clos won the first game from the
opening, Dickson got 100, but he did not
need them. Hanley was high for the

EDWARD BIRCH'S PROJECT.
AT a Minkakwa Meeting He Favors
a New Republican Club.

A rather warm meeting of the Seventh
Ward Republican Club was held last
evening in the headquarters of the Min
kakwa Club. on Ocean avenue. The ques-
ton of the organizing of another club
in that ward. by a few dissenting Re-
publicans, came up after the election of
officers and ten of the eleven members
present, were opposed to it. The eleventh.
Edward T. Birch. of the League Club,
who was recently bl~ackballed at a meet
ing of the Grant Association, when pro-
posed for membership by ex-County Com
mitteeman William Burns. was the only
one who spoke in favor of it. The DIS
cussion was brought about by the fol-
lowing resolution, which was subsequent
ly adopted; be it
Resolved. That the member of the
Seventh Ward Association are opposed
to the organization of more Republican
clubs in the Seventh Ward. Believing the
same to be detrimental to the Republican
party and its principles"
Birch said that he was not opposed to
having a new club on every block, if
they would do the party and good. and he
saw no reason why such q resolution
should be offered. He was opposed to
it. he said. for good reasons. but these
he kept to himself. However. when a vote
was taken he sided in with the rest.
Birch is one of the projectors of a
| new club. which will undoubtedly he
organized in that ward. He is a close
friend of Burns. who has been raising
various controversies in the Grant Club.
because of his defeat for. the position OF
County Committeeman from the Fifth
| Precinct. Alfred Hargen. the Secretary
of the Grant Association. beat him. n
Burns has been trying to get square, ever
since. The new club project is the first
| step in that direction and it can be
easily seen that the Hargen faction is
| fighting hard to down the Burns side.
as a Hargen man offered the above reso-
luton. There promises to be lively times
in that ward before long, and interesting
developments are looked for by the time
the spring campaign arrives.
There was no opposition to the election
of the officers, who held the positions last
year. They are;-William Reed. Presi-
deist: William Charlock. Vice President:
Winfield C. Dunn. Secretary, and Edmund
7. Birch. Treasurer.
President Reed in accepting the position
said:-sGentlemen of the Seventh Ward.
/ want to speak to you for the renewed
expression Of your confidence in me. ]
want to thank personally every member
| of the association that attended the meet
ing of the County Committee last Friday
night. and for their noble action in vot-

| other officers. l hope the feeling of dis
co-@sis gone forever. and that the yeaT
just coming IN will see the Seventh Ward
in line as a Republican ward"
The other officers also made shorl
speeches. The appointing Of committees
was deferred until the next meeting.
after the meeting said they hoped to

HANDBALL
Keen Rival and Good Sport at the
Local Court.

The Mercer street handball court was
comfortably filed yesterday, but as play
did not begin until late in the afternoon
there were but a few contests. Those
who did play showed keen rivalry of a
good healthy kind. The scores were
close enough to make the games very in

The feature of the day was the series
of three games in which P. Flaherty and
t. McCabe opposed Mike Egan and M.
Kinney. The men pushed each other
very hard. The service was excellent,
especially that of Egan. The series re-
suited in a victory for the latter pair.
