 scene of the Desolation
 When day dawned in Akron this morning 1t revealed a scene of desolation and the evidence of violence and lawlessness un- paralleled in the history of this city. The rioters had done their awful work and had dispersed One child was lying cold in death and nearly a score of people were suffering from the wounds of pistol balls, buckshot and other missiles.
 The city building was a heap of smoul- dering ruins and beside it steamed the water-soaked ashes of Columbia Hall. The police force of the city was disorganized and scattered. Live electric wires lay across the streets in the vicinity of the burning buildings and debris of all kind was scattered far and near. The down town streets were just as the mob had lett them, and although noth- ing was being done by the rioters, crowds of spectators, hundreds in number hung around waiting for something to turn up.
 At o'clock the crowds began to in- crease the curious spectators hurried to the scene of the trouble. A policeman ap- peared and then another, timid at first, but with increasing assurance, as no Vlo- lence was offered. Then Company c of Canton, a detachment of the Eighth Ohio Regiment marched down the street from the train and halting before the ruins of the city building, was a to work pa- trolling the fire lines. There was no evi- dence of ill-will or disquiet on the part of the crowds at the lines. There was no talk of violence. The turbulent element had slunk away with the coming of daylight and order was once more fully restored after an awful night of terror and an- archy.
 Troops Arrive
 At 9:2O this morning nine companies of the Fourth Regiment arrived in the city and marched to the scene of last night's S rioting.
 Shortly before 10 o'clock Mayor w. D. Young issued a proclamation, closing every saloon in Akron until further orders.
 The Mayor Is taking every possible pre- caution to prevent a renewal of the out breaks.
 If the situation demands more drastic measures the Mayor states that the city will be put under martial law.
 In the Akron riot history again repeated itself-the innocent ones were those to suf- fer, while the guilty ones were practically uninjured.
 On the advice of friends, Mayor Young, who had been on the scene at 6:3O a. m., when Company c arrived sought his office by back streets and alleyways, as it was feared that his presence so early after the rioting would cause a fresh outbreak.
 Of the victims of mob violence, Glenn Wade was shot and almost instantly killed He was in the mob and bullet from re- volver pierced his heart. The lad was only Il years of age.
 Another innocent who will die Is Rhoda Davidson, the 4-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs J. M. Davidson, of No. Ill Allyn street Sitting in a carriage with her moth- CT and father on the outskirts of the mob, a bullet found Judgement in her skull. No hope is held out for recovery. The resistance shown by the police of fcers and city officials in the City Hall only served to lash the mob into greater frenzy. Failing in its effort to force an entrance into the City Hall, a portion of the mob ran to the store of the Standard Hardware Company on Main street, about one and a half blocks from the scene of the rioting. In twinkling a large plate glass window in the front of the store was smashed to atoms, and the mob ran into and footed the store. Revolvers rifles, shot guns, razors and thousands of rounds of ammunition were taken, and with these weapons the mob returned to the City Hall Standing in the front windows of the building, Mayor Young, Chief of Po- lice Harrison and other police officials were harranguing the mob, endeavoring to convince the rioters that Louis Peck the colored man charged with assaulting little Christina Maas, had been quietly removed from the jail during the afternoon and taken to Cleveland for safe keeping. Increased the Anger The remarks of the Mayor only increased | the anger of the mob. In his first attempt | to quiet the mob he said that the prison | CT had been taken out of the city about | 4 oiclock In another speech he gave
