In explaining why the City Commits
sioners declined to join with the Coun-
ty Commissioners in their conference.
one of the City Commissioners this
morning said:
'The City Commissioners have re-
ceived from the County Commission
ers copy of the $1,6T5 bill submitted
to them by the four detectives, includ-
ing Mr.. Sherman, with request that
one half of the claim be allowed by the
city, according to an agreement made
with Prosecutor Wanamaker shortly
after the riot.
''By this agreement the City Com
missioners, on behalf of the city,
agreed to pay onehalf of the expenses
of the detection of riot prisoners. The
allowance of claims under this agree,
ment was to be conditioned upon the
claims being approved by Prosecuting
Attorney Wanamaker. Prosecutor
Wanamaker having approved the
claims of the detectives, and the Coun-
ty Commissioners having allowed their
part of the claim without objection
there is nothing for the City Commits
sioners to do but to allow the claim
and recommend it to the Council for
joint approval"

that there was nothing before the

it would be something outside of their

Must Report to the City
Commissioners
If He Has Anything Important
to Say.
County Commissioners Would Net
Hear Case.

A disappointed crowd left the office
of the County Commissioners Saturday
morning. 1t had been announced that
Detective Sherman, employed by the
county with three others, at cost of
$1,675, in connection with the riot
cases, would submit his report at a
joint meeting of the City and County
Commissioners.
AS indicated in yesterdays Democrat,
the City Commissioners sent word that
they would not attend the session,
claiming that they had nothing in COM
mon with the County Commissioners
ana that any charges that the detective
had to make should be filed with the
City instead of the County Commits
sioners.
The Police department was not with
out representative. The officers had
employed Grant & Sieber to look after
their interests. Detective Sherman
was on hand promptly, with a report
which he was prepared to read. Be-
fore he had opportunity to do so he
was invited to step into a side room,
the private Office of the Board. He
was informed that the Akron officers
would hold him personally liable for
any charges that he made casting re,
Elections upon any one connected with
the Police department. He replied
that he had no charges to make against
anyone. His report, he claimed, was
made up of the details of his work in
this city. He intimated that it might
reflect on certain people connected with
the police department but he did not
consider what he said in the nature of
charges.
There was lively argument between
Sen. Sieber and the detective
was growing impatient. 1t had as
sembled to hear the report and it was
not satisfied with the proceedings that
were in progress. At IL o'clock the
Commissioners, attorneys, and detec-
tive had finished their conference and
it was announced that a recess had
been taken until . o'clock. After the
conference Detective Sherman stated
that he was at the meeting prepared to
read his report. He had been author

amaker. The last named was not al

Washington, Dec. 1.-(Spl.)-A num-
ber of leading Senators, including
Frye, Platt, of Connecticut, Lodge, AL

ferences looking to the arrangements
of program of business for the com
ing session. 1t has been practically
agreed that no effort will be made to
revive the Spooner bill, placing the

will remain in statu quo for another
year. When the next Congress as.
sembles, something of permanent
character may be done.
There were conferences on the war
tax reduction bill, and the Senators in

in the war tax to be made should be
made this year, so that it will not be
necessary to reopen the question at the
next session.
