day afternoon decided to postpone ac-
tion in reference to the report Of Detec-
tive Sherman until Monday morning
at 8 o'clock. The detective was on
hand again Saturday afternoon, but
owing to the inability Of Prosecutor
WanamaSer to be present 1t was de-
cided to drop further proceedings until
the time stated.
Detective Sherman stated that h.
would remain in Akron until soma
action was taken on the report. He
claims that he has no personal feel,
ing against any member Of the Ak
ron police force. He wishes to clear
away some Of the charges that have
been made against him in connection

Mr.. BRoUsE
Will Sell Stock In Cali
fornia Oil Companies.
There Are Many Safe investments TO
be Made.

Mr.. NJ. d. Brouse, formerly one of the
city's leading dry goods merchants,
who for the last nine months has been
in the Pacific Coast States, has re-
turned to Akron and will establish gen.
eral offices here for the sale Of stock
in California oil companies. Mr..
Brouse has been assigned the general
agency for Ohio by eight oil COM
panies.
After leaving Akron, Mr.. Brouse
went to Cape Nome. but returned
shortly to Seattle and Portland, and
went from there to San Francisco.
While in California he became inter-
ested in oil at Bakersfield, Kern coun-
ty, and now represents eight compan-
les operating in that field.
Mr. Brouse at present has an In,
terest In five wells. Stock in one OF
the wells four months ago was selling
at 10 cents on the dollar. In n few
weeks 1t had advanced TO % cents,
then to so, then rs and today it is
selling at $3.50. Mr.. Brouse invest
ed In this stock when 1t was at rs.
He knows of many other investments
in oil stocks that are equally good
Farm land In the oil territory that
sold for from 50 to $3.50 an acre is now
selling at from $500 to $500 an acre.
NJ, Brouse says that the scarcity of
fuel In the Western States makes oil
holdings there much more valuable
than in the East, where other fuel
supplies are plentiful. The Santa Fo
RAILROAD has for some time been u.s.
ing oil for fuel in the engines of its
Western division, and the Southe. n
Pacific is just adopting the new fuel
for its engines.
II will he pleased to meet my old
friends" said Mr.. Brouse to the Dem
ocrat, 'and feel assured that / can
interest them with good Investments
in oil stock. have made n careful
personal investigation of tho present
conditions and possibilities of the
California oil field and can guarantee
