WHAT IL THE "ORCASfZ4N-

organization that our neighbor is 50

rose, Durham and a few others who
want TO dictate all nominations and
want the people to endorse them Take
our last State campaign-Quay, Andrews,
Penrose and few Others met one
day in early part of last summer ut
Atlantic City. They selected a
candidate for State Treasurer and a
lawyer by the name of Adams, IF
Philadelphia. for Superior Court Judge.
Then a call is put out for a State Con
vention Delegates are elected, the
names selected at Atlantic City We're
presented to the convention. the dose
was taken without grin and the
nominations made What is the resultg
The record Of Mr. Adams the lawyer
selected for the Superior Court would
not bear public scrutiny and the bosses
concluded they could not face the
people with their selection and took
Adam name off the ticket. called the
State Committee together and named
another man. This the organization
the Eagle talks about. If the voters
want change. and we think one is

At this time. when the Quay people
in Pennsylvania are harping upon the
solemn duty of all Republicans to stand

would be interesting TO know upon
what party grounds Senator Penrose
came over to the House yesterday to
urge Republican representatives from
the State not TO vote TO unseat Mr.
Young. a Virginia Democrat. whose
seat was being contested by M Wise.

used the argument that Senators

that in return the Pennsylvania Re

least should not vote at all. As show
ing how close the vote was on seating
Mr. Wise it may be stated that the

That Would Make a New
Site Impractical.
Present Property Would Re-
vert to Heirs
OF the Original Owners II College
Location Is Changed.

Relative to the proposed change in
the site OF Buchtel college, there is
one feature of the argument that has
been overlooked.
Should the college trustees decide to
locate the institution upon any other
site, they would be confronted with
problem touching the ownership of
the present valuable location. 1t is
claimed, that in case the grounds are
used for other than site for Buch-
tel college, that, by provision of the
deed, the land would revert to the
original owners or their heirs.
Many years ago, when the present To-
cation of Akron was covered with
forest, Mr.. Spicer, father Of the ven
cradle Hiram j. Spicer, of this city,
gave the present college property for
IA public cemetery. One of the provis-
ions of the gift was, that in case the
land was ever used for other purpos-
es, 1t should become the property of
his heirs.
After the village of Akron had be-
come good sized town. an ordinance
was passed prohibiting burials In the
cemetery. A year or so later the cree
tion of Buchtel college was proposed
and the authorities decided that the
Spicer cemetery was an excellent 10,
cation.
Accordingly a special act passed the
Legislature giving the cemetery trus
tees permission to deed the land to
the Universalst Association. With
this transaction the original restric-
ton was maintained, namely, that the
land should revert to it's original own
ership as soon as abandoned as col.
lege campus.
The above facts We're learned by n
representative of the Democrat In n
conversation with Mr.. Hiram j. Splcer,
Thursday.
Mr.. Spicer is an earnest believer in
Buchtel college and earnestly hopes
that it will be rebuilt on the old site.
During the conversation Mr.. Spicer
said: 81 was member OF the Board
Of Trustees of the cemetery when ii
was proposed to locate the college on
the old burying ground. The other
members were Avery Spicer, Tall.

Brown and Albert Madison, all OF
whom are dead

islature and we were given authority
to transfer the property
"My father had nine children and |

A London Home.

A side light was thrown at an inquest at
Westminster on the overcrowdng which
exists in slums in the neighborhood. The
subject of inquiry was n child which had
died Of pneumonia in n common lodging
house where father, mother and child had
oil occupied one cubcle.
The father and mother had entered
MARRIED life three years ago and never
had any furnture--not even n bed. This.
however is not an isolated case in West
minister. for, according to the coroner's
officer, there are 80 or 40 couples in the
district in this predicament.
Coroner Troutbeck said one could not
Imagine anything more reckless than the
way in which these two people had start
cd life--no home, no furniture. 1t was
not surprising that the child had died. It
had had no real chan ,e to exist.-London
