to fulfill political promises, is demon
strated by the following facts:
In the first place the members of the
Board were not even acquainted and
had never met several of the men who
were appointed to fill the positions.
Again, two men received appoint
ment who have not resided in Akron
for period of four consecutive years;
as required by the police regulations;
in fact, they have resided in the city
less than one year.
Rule 49, Of the Rules and Regula-
tions for the Akron police department,
says:
Applicants for the police force
shall be at least flve feet, seven inches
in height; not under 25 years of age;
AND SHALL HAVE BEEN A RESI-
DENT OF THE CITY OF AKRON
DURING THE FOUR CoNsECU-
TIVE YEARS LAST PASSED"
Two of the men appointed are char
acters who have figured in saloon
brawls, shooting and cutting scrapes
in the years past.
One of the appointees is over Sc
years of age, and his appointment is a
violation of the age limit heretofore
applied by the Board in selecting men
for the police force.
Another Of the appointees is under
age, and his name was not even known
by the members of the Beard. In the
list submitted to the two Republican
Commissioners by Car Anderson, as
the persons to be appointed appeared
the name Of Michael Gewolf. The city
! officials in copying off the Cars list
wrote the name, Michael Galloway. Nc
man Of that name lives In Akron. But
the Commissioners, anxious to carry
out the Cars wishes, did not take
. the trouble to learn who this appli
, cant was. When his appointment was
; recommended, Commissioner McCarry
asked for information regarding
, michael Galloway" None of the
, other members Of the Board knew thu

peaceful manner. There We're no
fights, no arrests were made, and but

7'17' ANOTHER
Scene In the Farce at the
City Hall.
Commissioners Ignored the Regulations In Max
ing Police Appointments But They
Pleased the Gar.

Akron people who imagine that the
appointment Of twelve additional po-
licemen by the Board Of City Commis-
sioners on Monday last, was made af-
ter investigation by the Board with
regard to the repute and qualitica-
tions Of each Individual who received
an appointment, should rid themselves
of that notion at once.
In making these appointments, III
creasing the police force, the members
of the Board had nothing whatever to
do with the selection of the candi-
dates. The list was made up by one
man, and that individual is Judge
Anderson.
The Democrat is informed that the
members Of the Board did not at any
time prior to the appointment confer
In regard to selecting the best men.
There were nearly 200 applications for
appointment, but not a moments
time was consumed by the Board in
considering their fitness for the posi-
tions to be filled.
Monday forenoon both City Commits
siQners McMillen and Crisp held a
lengthy conference with Judge Ander-
son at the Court House. The Gear
submitted to these gentlemen list
of men who should receive the ap,
pointment, which was copied by the
city officials.
In the afternoon, the two Republi
can Commissioners met In secret con
sultation in the City Solicitors Office
to compare their lists and understood
each other. They had been given tc
understand by the Czar that one Of
the Democratic Commissioners woult
vote with them in the appointment
Each of the Republican Commits
sioners desired, for personal reasons
to appoint couple Of men of thei
own choosing, rather than the Gar
and therefore their secret caucus wa
rather lengthy. They halted between
a desire to fulfill their own promise
and the promises Of their dictator, TIL
Czar. Duty, however, compelled then
to obey and they agreed to appoin
the Cars.
In the meantime, the other two Cit
Commissioners, Messrs. Paige and No
Garry. were in the office of the Boart
Mr.. Paige took from a drawer larg
bunch of applications. which afte
fumbling over he handed to Mr.. NJ,
Garry and asked the latter to loo
them over. While McGarry was Ell
gagged in this work, the two Republica
Commissioners entered the room. I'll

ANOTHER "BARE" STORY.

A young man returning to his
home in Hagerstown, left this
place last Saturday noon to cross
the mountain to Mercersburg on
foot. When near the top of the
mountain, a big black bear sham
bled down the bank into the road,
and when he saw our Hagerstown
friend a few feet distant, he stood
erect on his hind feet and with
his boxing gloves on, began to
banter our young man for a
Ground. " The sensation of a
chill creeping up the young man s
spinal column soon gave way ,and
great beads of perspiration broke
out all over his body. The young
man felt awfully lonesome, and
tried to recall "Now / lay me"
and Onward Christian Soldiers, u
expecting every moment the bear
would make dinner of him.
But to his great relief, the bear
dropped down on all fours and
leisurely walked down across the
road and disappeared into the
bushes.

gather himself together, he lit
