neered by O.C. Barber.
Trying to Buy the American Cereal Company
Property For Syndicate Of English
Capitalists.

English capitalists are back of a
project involving millions. Through
o. G. Barber, they seek to gain con-
troll of the property of the American
Cereal Company.
An offer has been made to every
stakeholder of the corporation, agree
ing to pay S175 cash per share, for all
their holdings. The deal is a new one,
planned while Mr.. Barber was in Eu-
rope the past summer. American &C.
real stock has not been on the market
for two years. 1t has paid a two per
cent. dividend quarterly for the past
year.
Mr. Barber has mailed the follow
ing letter TO every stakeholder of the
Company;
"As a representative of syndicate
of English bankers. who desire to
purchase a large majority, or all, of
the American Cereal Company stock,
| am authorized to offer S175 per share
for the same, conditioned on the an
nual statements of the last three
years being verified by Price Water
house & Co. '
THE syndicate promises to deposit
S3500,000 with one of the prominent
Trust companies or banks of Chicago,
as guarantee of their good faith, and

DON'T KNOCK
Against Enterprises That
Help Akron.

Another complaint having been filed
concerning the odor from the Akron
Soap company, Mr.. Adam Duncan.
president of the company, informs the
Democrat that he is doing all in his
power. to remedy the alleged nuisance
He claims that the occasional odor Is
not due to any neglect on his part, or
to want of the most improved appli-
ances and that he is as anxious as any
one to prevent further trouble. He
believes that it would be bad policy
to make complaint against every fac.
tory from which al odor emanated.
If citizens would do this he is of the
opinion that many of Akron's best in
dustrial enterprises would be drawn
from Akron.
The Akron Soap company pays out
81 900 week to Akron people in
the form of wages and for
supplies and no persecution should be
started that might result in driving
the company from Akron.
The only possible way in which I'M
pleasant odors may escape from the
soap factory results from the occas-
ional carelessness Of employees, and
Manager Duncan is doing his best to
guard against this.

II would further add that | am as
sured by the officers of the Company
that the statements as made for the
last three years are correct and that

Alleges That He Was LibeIed.-Court
House News.

There Is Il question, that the courts
will undoubtedly be called upon to
decide, relative TO the property losses
sustained during the riots in this city
Several property owners have placed
their claims against the insurance
companies in the hands of Attorneys
Musscr n kohler Proof of loss has
been forwarded 10 the corporations
II is anticipated that the companies
will refuse TO pay anything on the pol
icies claiming exemption under the
clause referring to losses occasioned
by riots.
Local lawyers are OF the opinion
that the clause will not hold water in
this instance. They say that the fires
were due TO incepdiaries and that the
fact thai mob was storming at the
doors of the City building is no reason
why losses sustained by other parties.
aside from the city, should not be paid.
1t is held that the rioters themselves
had no grievance against the property
owners and that they did not desire
the destruction of the buildings and
contents. 1t is known that the fires
were started by one or. two men. They
did not have the mob back of them
and but few knew anything about the
fires until the flames broke out. The
question is new and interesting one
and the decision of the courts will be
watched for throughout the State.
