After They Had Stolen Shoes
From His Store.
Frank Comstock Denies Stealing an
0vercoat From Public Library.

Frank Comstock was arrested by
Officer Edwards at $50 Tuesday af-
ternoon. near the corner of Main and
Mill sts., on a charge of stealing an
overcoat, belonging to Otis Reid, from
the Public Library rooms about a
month ago.
When arrested Comstock protested
his innocence and stated that he pur-
chased the overcoat, which be was
wearing at the time, from the May
company in Cleveland.
The officers took Comstock to Po-
lice headquarters, where the coat was
examined. On the band inside the
collar was the firm name Of 1. S. Ny
ers & Company, of Akron. Mr.. Myers
identified the coat afterwards as the
one sold to Otis Reid and the latter
also said that it was his coat and had
been stolen from the Library rooms.
Comstock, when arraigned in Police
court Wednesday morning pleaded not
guilty to a larceny charge. His case
was continued until Thursday morn
ing.

each fined So and costs and sentenced
to 30 days in the workhouse for steal
ing two pairs of shoes from in front of
Mr.. Jacob Sshwartz's shoe store, on
Howard ST., at o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon. The two men stood gazing
at the shoes for moment, then each
grabbed a pair and started across the
street. Mr.. Schwartz started in pur-
suit, grabbed the men by their coat
collars and after giving them a Wig
orous choking compelled them to re-
turn to his store where he held them
until Officers Wilson, Mueller and Nc
Connell had arrived with the patrol
wagon.
Charles Coney was arrested by Of
ficer Welch last evening on a charge
of suspicion. Coney had crawled in
n coal bin under the sidewalk in front
of the liquor store at corner of Ex-
change and Main SITS. In Police court

Board Members Against a Crying
Evil In the Schools.

Several members of the Board OF
Education. together with Superintend-
ent Hotchlliss, are of the opinions that
the erection of the Miller school in
South Akron will not materially help
the congested condition of the build
ings in that portion of the city.
In making his report to the Board,
Tuesday night, DR.. Hotchkiss stated
that one school in the Leggett build
ing contained 20 pupils and he recon-
mended that room be fitted up in the
basement to be used for school pur-
poses. In this connection the Supern-
tendent suggested that n committee in
vestigate the conditions to determine
the effect of the Miller school upon the
Leggett and Allen districts. If it is
found that the new building will not
sufficiently relieve the others an annex
was recommended for the Leggett
the schools and discipline committee.
WORK HELD UP.
In reporting the progress at the Mil
Ter school, Mr.. Harpham. chairman of
the new buildings committee stated
that the work was being held up on
account of the failure of the Akron
Realty company to remove the old
church building.
The Church was sold to the Realty
company some time ago" said Mr..
Harpham, land it was to have been
moved within 80 days. The time limit
expired several weeks ago. and the
company has refused to move the
building. The contractors are ready
TO commence work and the whole pro-
ject is being held up on account of a
5000 building"
Upon motion of Mr.. Slabaugh the
buildings committee was authorized to
notify the Akron Realty Co. to COM
mence operations within three days.
Otherwise the church will be moved at
the company's expense.
A CRYING EVIL.
The committee upon heat and ventil-
alton will secure bids to reconstruct
and place all school closets upon san
itary basis. The present condition of
the closets now used by the pupils,
was termed by Mr.. Kelley, as the
"crying evil'' of the schools. Mr..
Kelly stated that in his opinion it
was the Boards duty to look after the
children in oCher ways than mere
book learning. In this connection Mr..
Kelley said that the school rooms were
poorly ventilated and needed attention.
The matter came up through a sug.
gestion by Col. Gibbons to provide
closets in each building for the exclus-

LARGER CARS WILL SOON Be PUT
ON SOME LOCAL TROLLEY LINES.

The directors OF the United Traction
and Electric company, which controls
the trolley roads in this city and vicin-
ity, held a meeting az New York yes
terday al which il was decided TO re-
place the small cars now in service on
the Friendship street, Brown street,
Admiral street Prairie avenue and
Branch avenue routes with larger ones.
There are about 80 cars operated on
these lines and the outlay for the con-
struction Of the larger cars will involve
an expenditure of something like $780,
000 These, of course, cannot be secur-
euat once, and dc will probably be some
time i'm the fall before the new and inn
proved cars are doing service on all the
lines Indicated.
Ii transpired after the meeting that
the corporation is now TO all intents
and purposes a Rhode Island institu-
ton. This was evident when the fact
was developed that about three-quar-
ters of the stock OF thet company
is held in and about Providence. while
approximately 20 per cent. OF the stock
holders are located here.

Boston. Jan. l9-From statements
made by President L. ID. Goldman Of
the Fitchburg Railroad. Robert Cod
man. the senior director. and Joseph
Il. Russell one OF the executive COM
mittee, Il appears that the Fitchburg
Railroad Will not be leased TO the Bos-
ton and Maine, owing to the opposition
of the directors representing the state
OF Massachusetts. which holds So 600, 900
worth Of Fitchburg stock.
President Goldman said II understand
by the governors letter that he leaves
10 the state directors the responsibility
of representing the Commonwealth I'm
disposng OF the lease I'm the board,
reseryng to the governor and council.
however, the right to vote on the lease
II ii should be approved by the board,
and submitted to the stockholders. The
governor is satisfied to have a mega
tive action, If taken by the board stand
without revision. While l cannot an
ticipate the formal action OF the board
Of directors. l think il impossible in
view of the position taken by the gov
cnor that the board would go contrary
10 a negative conclusion OF the state
directors should they announce that for
the state.
Robert Goldman. the senior dire ,o;r.
said:
Il think that under ordinary circdm-
stances we should not have favored Ire
proposition OF the Boston and Maine
Railroad but in view of the peril to our
property in case the legislature should
approve the Boston and Albany lease,
our stockholder directors were almost
unanimously in, favor OF the lease to
the Boston and Maine. At our recent
meeting we are informed by the state
directors that after full conference with
the governor, they had decided TO vote
against this lease. We are reluctant
10 antagonize the state directors, and
besides this. we are aware that with the
vote OF the commonwealth against the
measure at the stockholders meeting,
IL would be impossible that the lease
could be ratified, except possibly by
bare majority. which we should have
much deprecated"
Joseph b. Russell. one Of the execu-
tive committee OF the Fitchburg, eX-
pressed his Views as follows:
~ am astonished at the position TAX
en- by the state directors. as within
about two weeks. in formal session OF
the executive committee and the state
directors. the latter gave their unquali-
fed approval 10 leasing the road upon
the same terms 20 the New York Cen
tral. The stockholders certainly will
not In my opinion, vote for the lease
against the wishes OF the governor and
council. and Will assume that the state
directors represent their views"
