Courts of Summit COunty-What
The Petition Al
leges.

The Whitman and Barnes Manufac-
turing company was formerly Canton
concern, but removed to Akron. A spe-
cial from thta city tells of an immense
suit against the company as follows:
A. d. Dye, Parkersburg, w. Va.
blacksmith, has begun suit in that city
asking for a judgment of $1,000, 600
against the Whitman & Barnes manu-
featuring company Of Akron.
The grounds for the action are in
fringements on patent. Dye claims to
have invented and patented a nut and
pipe wrench which proved to be valua-
BILE tool, but instead of having the ex-
elusive privilege Of manufacture that
his patent gives, he claims that his idea
has been made use of by the Akron COM
pany, which is manufacturing the
wrenches in large numbers and Is also
stamping them with the word patent
ed" when no patent has been issued.
Dye claims that the Whitman &
Barnes company wrench is only slightly
modified from his own original model
He has employed seven prominent Par
kersburg attorneys to fight the case.
No summons have as yet been receiv.
ed by Sheriff Kelley for the company
All of the company's officials deny any
knowledge Of the suit and refuse to tall

GEORGE KISE HERE.
He Comes Back to Canton To
Renew Old Acquaintance
And Shake Hands.

George Everett Kise is today being
welcomed in Canton by old friends,
acquaintances and relatives. Thirty
one years ago he left Canton with his
folks and they located at Erie, Pa,
where they still reside; where his bro
ther Harry Is foreman of the Erie
Malleable Iron Co., and where his IA
ther, Erastus Kise, Esp, is paymaster
and treasurer of the same company.
The Kise family when here lived IN
the old Jerry Lind house that stood
where is now the Central Savings
bank, corner of Tuscarawas street
and Cleveland avenue, the latter in
those days being Poplar street. The
father was superintendent of Canton
Malleable Iron Co., which was owned
and operated by the c. Aultman Co.
He looked after the construction of
the old Schaffer opera house and was
its first manager. This explains Geo.
Kisses strong liking for the show
world. George and his sister were in
the Sunday school class of Mrs. Nc
Kinley, wife of the president. Frank
Taft, of the Dueber Watch Co., mar
ried his cousin. Young Kisses mis-
sion here is to resume his position
here with the Canton Carnival Co. He
is at the Hotel Yohe greeting all the
old timers who pass that way.

covered from a previous sickness, and
drove to Louisville to visit her uncle,
Mr.. Louis Lautzenheiser. who was very
sick at the time. and 1t is thought that
the drive caused appendicitis. which a
few days later was followed by paral-
ysls. and caused her death. Miss Lautz-
enheiser was born near Louisville, Mo-
vember s, 1859, making her age 40 years,
8 months and days, at the time Of her
death. The funeral services were held
at the Minerva Lutheran church or. Fri
day morning, and the remains were
buried in the Minerva cemetery.

CENSUS TAKERS
Will Find Difficulty In Getting
The Proper Ages of Many
PeOple,

Census takers are getting ready to
come around and make inquiries of
the people and they are studying what
is expected of them.
The most difficult task of a census
enumerator is to obtain information
about the ages of people. 1t is assumed
that woman may lie about her age
and a man about the fish he catches
without committing sin, but the phe-
ncmenon goes on still further Young
people usually want to be considered
old, middle-aged people report them
selves younger than they are and the
very old people will add a few years
throw their ages forward to 16, girls
stretch a point to be IS and boys 10 or
more always like to be considered .len.
Therefore the age returns of a ~sus
are usually more incorrect than any
other, and it is impossible to, determine
accurately whether the average dura-
tion of life Is increasing or decreasing.
1t is impossible, for the same reason, to
ascertain the death rate the number of
men of military age or the number of
women capable of bearing children. For
ermple. It is interesting to know
whether the period of child-bearing
among the different classes of people is
longer or shorter; whether negroes die
earlier than whites; whether the labor
ing part of the population live longer
than those of sedentary occupation;
whether criminals are recruited from
the younger or older element of society;
whether the employment of children is
increasing or decreasing, and many
other estimates whose value is threat
ened by the inaccuracy of the age
statistics. Experienced enumerators
have found that the tendency of people
Is to represent themselves younger than
they actually are. This impulse seems
to be irresistible between the es
25 and 60.

THE MURDER OF GOEBEL
To be PObed 80 the Very Bottom by
The Courts of Kentucky.
TAYLOR IS IN WASHINGTON.
His Kentucky Friends have Wired Him To
Remain There and Not Venture Into
Kentucky For Some Time At
Least Indictment Made
Public Today.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.
Frankfort, April 2O.-The grand jury,
before adjourning yesterday until Sat-
urday, indicted Republican Governor w.
s. Taylor as an accessory to the murder
of William Goebel. The indictments are
similar to those returned against Green
Golden and John Davis. The Taylor in
dictment was not turned over to the
circuit clirk but left in the hands Of
Judge Cantrill, who gave the grand jur-
ors and court officials not to allow it
to become public until bench warrant
for the purpose of bringing the accused
into custody was served.
Wires between here and Washington
were kept hot last night and this morn
ing by messages to Taylor from Repub-
licans indignant over the accusation
against him and who advised him to re-
main away for the present at least. The
attorneys in the Goebel assassination
case practically agreed, last night, TO
try the case in Paris, KY, probably at
the next term of the Bourbon circuit
court. Judge Cantrill has fixed April
30 for the arraignment of Haralnd
Whitaker and "Tallow" Dick Combes,
indicted as principles in the Goebel as
sassination, and Caleb Powers and John
Davis indicted as accessories. The at
torneys will ask for bail and a change
of venue.
YOUTSEY PLEADS.
Frankfort, April 20.-Henry Youtsey,
indicted as a principal, was, this morn
ing, brought into court for arraign-
ment. Clerk Ford. read the indictment.
II am not guilty of the heinous charge
against me-" was the response of the
defendant in firm voice.
Colonel Nelson then wanted a motion
for bail for Youtsey, to which the COM
attorneys objected. Judge
Cantrell then set the motion for bail for
a hearing April 80.

SHIPPERS COMPLAIN,
They Insist That the Express
And Telegraph Companies
Should Settle.

Numerous Canton business men have
written personal letters to Represen-
tative Tayler and to others in Wash
ington asking that the war tax be so
amended as to eliminate the tax on ex-
press packages and kilograms
or to set forth specifically who pays
the tax. The express and telegraph
packages and messages that they al
ways got and stand no part of the bur-
den Of taxation. This has been q thorn
In the flesh of business men for months.
No organized effort has been made in
Canton but letters are written at the
suggestion Of numerous eastern con-
Germs. The Merchants association Of
New York recently sent the following
memorial to congress:
"The express charges upon shipments
In some cases equal the value of the
goods. In an average Of several thous-
and cases collated by this association
the express charges were more than the
profits upon the articles shipped. and
were bound to average in the classes
OF goods most frequently shipped by
express from per cent. to 10 per cent.
Of the value.
"our Investigations have shown wide
determinations In the charges imposed; !;
favored classes of shippers who are
permitted lesser rates than other class
es; cumulative charges; differing
charges for identical services and other
variations, the effect of which is de-
structive."
The petitioners. in conclusion, ask
that the stamp tax on express ship
ments be either abolished or removed
from the. shipper and placed in lump
sum on the express companies. and that
they further request the abolition of the
stamp tax on railroad and steamship
shipments and on kilograms
