MUCH TALK
Concerning New Jail.
Commissioner Wagner HI
Picked a Location.

tSNSN @ONusso"
The question of building a new Jail
for Summit county, is calling forth
comment from all parts of this coun-
ty, and no little criticism. Many tax
payers are objecting to the proposed
plan Of building Jail, which would
cost more than the Court House.
1t is stated that Commissioner Wag-
oner favors the idea of building u JAN
on the southwest corner Of the court
yard. Grant & Sieber have been em.
ployed TO examine into the legality of
using the court yard for Jail purposes.
Their decision in the matter will be
given soon.
In the matter of building a new
Court House, 1t seems that Cuyahosa
Falls feels that it has grievance
against the county. The village claims
that Gen. Perkins sks of the locau~ d
of the present G,uss hsAs 6J years
ago, took the county seat a'"as from
the town, 1t Is even reISrrsd that

Decision Reached at
Meeting Monday
Regarding Difficulty
Over Wage Scale.
Situation Unchanged and No Settle
ment In Sight.

At Il meeting of the Journeymen
Tailors Monday morning the sentl-
ment was unanimously expressed that
all should refuse to accept the new
price list adopted by the merchant
tailors About 30 attended the meet
ing and those who were absent will
be asked to stand with the majority
of the unions members.
1--WE expect to resist the new list
to the last" said the spokesman of
the union. "On some of the smaller
garments the reduction amounts to
about so per cent. The increased
prices offered are ON goods we seldom
make. We have no fear of outside
help being brought in. 1t cannot be
secured"
Except for Mondays meeting the
situation is unchanged. The journey
men have refused the prices offered
by the employers and the latter are
giving out no work. There the matter
rests.

GREGORY GOES FREE.
TUE NOTORIOUS MEAT THIEF SENT
TO mouxDsvILLE Is RELEASED.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings In Marshall
Gives Him HIS Liberty--A Case
Precedent in this
state.

Thomas 3. Gregory. who wal con
vicied Of stealing a large quantity of
meat in this county seven years ago and
was sent to the pe~ntientiary for six
years on one charge and for six years
on another. secured his liberty on a
writ Of habeas corpus awarded by
Judge showacre, sitting in the
Moundsville Circuit Court.
Gregory's case is the first of its
kind in this state. Many Of the citi-
zen's recall the excitement which fol-
lowed his arrest and the interest man
ifested in his trial in the Court House
in this city.
Gregory was convicted in the Cir
emit Court OF Berkeley county of steal
ing a quantity of tame hog meat
and bladders of sausage to the value
of $40. Two indictments were found
against him. He was tried convicted
and sentenced to the p~enitentiary for
six years ON the first charge, and on
the second charge he received the
same sentence, but the court making
the commitments did not state
whether the two sentences should be
concurrent or that the second should
begin at the expiration Of the first.
Gregory. who has already served
seven years in the p~enitentiary, claim
ed that he should not be kept in the
institution any longer, and began the
habeas corpus proceedings to secure
his discharge. His attorney argued
that Gregory's sentence had expired,
and cited Sec. 26 of Chap. 152 Of the
Code of West Virginia to prove his
point. The section in question reads.
"When any person is convinced of
two or more offences before sentence
is pronounced for either, the c%onfine-
ment to which he may be sentenced
upon the second, or any subsequent
conviction, shall commence at the
termination of the previous term of
confinement.
Gregory held that as sentence had
been pronounced upon his first convic-
tion before he was convicted the Sec
ond time, that the above section does
not apply to the case and that the two
sentences should be concurrent.
The interests of the state in the case
were looked after by T. J. Parsons,
prosecuting attorney of Marhall coun-
ty. Attorney Charles Schuch repre-
scented Gregory. The decision of the
court has excited much interest in
legal circles, and it is expected to be
a precedent for any similar cases that
may subsequently arise.

LEkTEN DISHES.

A c~onnoisseur in the cooking Of
CLAIMS gives this delightful way Of
cooking soft clans Select the large
white shell CLAIMS, wash thoroughly in
cold salted water TO free them from
sand, and open carefully. Wash the
deep half of each shell again, and
place the CLAIMS on them. Lay in a
large baking pan pour a little melted
butter over each clam, dust with fine
cracker crumbs, and season with salt
and a dash of red pepper. Lay a slice
of smoked bacon an inch square on
each clam, put the pan in the oven
and bake until a rich brown. Serve
with quarters of lemon.
Fish Creams-This dish is particu-
larly good when one wishes to use up
the left over crumbs of boiled fish.
Mash fine half a pound of boiled
fish. Add to it a tablespoonful of salt,
a tablespoonful of chopped al
monds, a tablespoonful of lemon juice,
and a dash of pepper. Now add grad
ually the unbeaten whites of eggs and
two tablespoonfuls of cream. Form
into small rolls, dip in egg and bread
crumbs and fry in smoking hot fat, or
this may be filled into small custard
cups, placed in a pan of boiling water,
and cooked in a moderate oven for
Is minutes. Under such circum-
stances it is wise to whip the cream.
Serve hot with lobster sauce.
Stuffing for Baked Fish-Pour a
quarter of a cupful of melted butter
over one cupful of cracker or bread
crumbs, add one beaten egg, a quar-
ter of a teaspoonful of salt, a little
pepper, one te%aspoonful of minced
parsley, one tablespoonful of chopped
onion, one ~teaspoonful of chopped
pickles; mix all thoroughly. This
quantity is sufficient for a six pound
fish.

IN FOG.
Pictures Are Taken Mt n Distance Of
n Mile.

To speak of photography in a fog
sounds like a cutting from a comic pa
per rather than a serious scientific
fact, but it is a scientific fact none the
less, says the New York Journal, and
the man who is conducting investiga-
tons in this peculiar line of photog-
raphy is the shrewd energetic ruler of
the German empire.
Quite recently the kaiser has been
yacht, ostensibly on pleasure bent, but
in reality with a far different object.
He was accompanied by two men
whose skill with the camera and whose
knowledge of its construction are III
equaled, and the result of that little
trip will be the beginning of important
developments in connection with the
navy and merchant service of Ger
many, if not of other countries.
By means of "A specially constructed
camera the kaiser's friends succeeded
in obtaining clear and distinct photo
graphs of vessels and of the coast line
when those objects were a mile off
and both the photographer and the
photograph were enveloped in a thick
fog. This wonderful result was OBJ
tanned with an exposure Of two sec
onds only.
The necessary complement to the
camera is an apparatus that will en-.
able the operator to develop his pic
ture in a few seconds so that it can be
thrown on a screen. The perfection
of this apparatus is now engaging the
attention of the two scientific men,
the expenses being paid by the Ger
man government.
'Iercl}aAt vessels in a fog could take
thci, itings in a similar way, and
they would find it more effective than
sirens in preventing collisions.
