BEST EVER.
Temporary City Hall Best
Akron Ever Had.
Poor Director Kendall Would Save
Money For Taxpayers.

with another story added to the
Schumacher office building, where the
municipal offices are now located,
Akron would have the best city build
ing she has ever had" remarked Poor
Director Joseph Kendall to a repre-
sentative Of the Democrat Monday.
"All the building needs is Council
Chamber and an extra story would
provide the necessary room," contin-
ued Mr.. Kendall. "An architect has
told me that those walls are strong
enough to carry several additional
stories if necessary. The rooms upon
the second story are well adapted for
the purposes for which they are being
used and the room, used as a court
room for the Mayor, is large enough to
hold all the loafers that ought to at
tend police court. If the city would
purchase the property and make a
permanent city hall of it, it would re-
suit in saving of many thousands of
dollars, that l believe the taxpayers
would appreciate"

which is quite treat, as this is

We arrived at Kobe, Japan, and took
on Japanese pilot, who took us
through the Inland sea. 1t was a
sight worth going long way to see.
The most picturesque scenery I have
ever seen. We have officers on here,
and sailors, too, who have been all
over the world, and they all agreed
that it was the finest scenery they ever
saw. In some places the channel is so
narrow that you can almost throw q
stone ashore; and the country Oh each
side which is mountainous is very
thicldy settled and much cultivated.
The houses have fancy roofs ON them,
such as you see in books. We passed
thousands of junks and small fishing
boats called "sampans" all sculled
with single oar and small sail.
The men are finely built fellows, not
very tall, but well proportioned and
in these boats wore nothing but a
breach cloth. They are tanned a dark
brown all over. In the cities, too, saw
hundreds who only wore cloth
around their loins and many women
naked from their waist up. They do
not seem to have any shame as far as
exposing their person. is concerned.
On the other hand they are very polite,
kind and hospltable and also very hon
est as q race and seem quite happy.
They respect the English and Ameri-
cans very much and a}l seem anxious
to form an alliance with them. Their
individual ambition is to go to the
United States. In the bazaars and tea
houses (saloons) they al talk very fanr
English.

months, but then l ought to be very
glad to have seen what have. Then
we will be in Nagasaki three or four
days on our return trip. In Nagasali
/ saw many vessels from all over the
world, French battle ships, Russian
transports, German men-o-war, the
American battleship Oregon, and
many others, too numerous to mention.
In Nagasaki we got our orders to go
to Manila and we were all very much
disappointed that we were not going
to China. But then we can't have
everything our own way.
We have no idea where we go from
Manila but we all think that as the war
is off in China that we will come right
back to Seattle again. AS this is a
chartered ship and the government
has enough Of her own for the Philip
pines, no one on board knows the least
thing about it. We may be back by
Nov. /, and then it may be months.
So far as am concerned l don't care
as am living on the best in the land
and am in fine health and enjoying
myself. 1 am getting fat, too, in spite
of the hot weather, for every day

Has Returned From Trip
to the Philippines.
Says Fighting May Last For Several Years
---Philippines Bad Investment For
Uncle Sam.

Mr.. Fred Eakens, member Of Go.
E, 46th infantry, who has been see.
ing service in the Philippines, is home
on q furlough, to enable him to shake
off the effects of severe siege Of
malaria.
Mr.. Eakens is the only brother of the
late Bert Eakens, who was in Cuba
with the Eighth, and died last spring
from the effects of his sufferings in the
service.
To Democrat man who called at
his home, 106 North Summit ST., Mr..
Eakens spoke interestingly Of his ex-
periences. The 46th, which is at pres
ent in Luzon, has been in some warm
places. They were with Lawton at
San Mateo, where that gallant gen.
eral was killed, and were afterwards
in Schwan's and Wheaton's brigades,
respectively, all of which brought them
into some hot battles. Mr. Eakens
came to San Francisco on the transport
Grant, which same boat, then known
as the Mohawk, brought the Eighth

brother, from Cuba in '9S.
The Grant had very pleasant trip
this time, however, as far as weather
was concerned, but Is men died en-
route, of dysentery, and We're buried
at sea.
"Dysentery," he said, sis what car
ries most of them away"
When asked about the general health
of the men in the Philippines, he
stated that it was very poor, and cited
the case Of his own company.

and when I left them, there were only
20 left"

the end Of the war was in sight, he
said:
Organized fighting is over. The
Filipinos will not fight unless they
can oppose a detached detail or small
number, but when they do fight, it goes
hard with the detail. This is the hard

stretches Of territory, and accomplish
but little good. 1 do not think this
kind Of warfare will end for many
years.

Yale Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn,
June 19.-The continued cold weather
is considered most unfavorable for the
men preparing for the races now little
more than a week away. They do not
take to their work with the snap and
vigor noticeable when the tempera-
ture Is higher. and seem rather list
less.
This mornings practice was light be-
cause of the hard work done by the
crews last evening The varsity rowed
in short spurts down opposite the Har-
ward quarters with Niedecken at 3.
where he rowed in after lay off of
more than a week. They then turned
about, and after rowing slowly TO a
point about a mile above the quarters
returned to the boat house. The only
coaching that was done this morning
was of an individual nature.
The work OF the freshmen and var
sity four oar crew also was very light
