signed as president. and that his for

the Tribune from London says:
The first public utterance in the Bri-

Herbert Gladstone, who addressed his

Claims to Have Been Offered a POSI-

last year.

Mr.. Fl. A. Busby of this city, has
just been offered the position of head
quarters officer on the Akron police
force by Mayor Young of that place,
says the Columbus Dispatch. The
offer has been accepted, and Mr.. Bus
by expects to assume his new duties
there next week. This position comes
to him as a reward of merit, on ac-
count of Busby's services in trying to
protect the city building from the riot
Gus mob of several days ago. He was
reported to have been knocked down
twice by rocks thrown by the mob
while defending the entrance to the
building. His clothes also were torn.
Busby says the mob was made up OF
idle, desperate fellows. He was for
merly on the local police force.
