FIRE ALARMS.
An Automatic. Electrical Device
Placed On Market.

A very ingenious and useful article
is being placed on the market by the
American Automatic Fire Alarm Co.,
of which Mr.. John Grether, of Ak
ron, is president and general maa-
ger. 1t is an electrically operated de,
vice, which sounds the alarm at any
temperature suitable for the purpose.
The device is called a thermostat,
and is connected by electric wires
with cabinet which is provided with
gong to sound the alarm, and an
ennunciator to locate the fire. The
cabinet is placed in a bedroom of resi-
dences or other suitable place, in the
offices of stores, factories, hotels and
other business houses, and sometimes
on the outside of the building to warn
the police or passersby. Headquarters
of the company Is in Cleveland, but

Quack detectives, same as in the
case Of Houston Kepler, are now plan
ming TO interest Mrs. Fulmer, of Brit.
tain, in schemes by which the men
who swindled her out Of $1,000 may
bo captured at once. However, Chief
of Police Durkin has advised Mrs.
Fulmer 10 have nothing to do with
persons representing themselves to be
detectives, unless they can show Gre
dentials whose genuineness is beyond
dispute. 1t has been reported to the
Police that attempts have been made
lately to interest Mrs Fulmer to the
extent that she will advance money
with which the alleged detectives may
leave to hunt up the swindlers. 1T
is the old, old story" said Chief OF
Police Durkin. "Quack detectives are
as numerous as quack doctors, the
propositions being changed merely to
catch quick instead of cure quick.

They try to tell victims Of swind-
lers or robbers that the regular officers
do not move quickly, because they
have no interest in their case, and IL
they--the quack detectives-only had
the money they could land the swind-
lers in double-quick time. These stories
sound plausible, and many persons,
desperate over their losses. bite rapid

have been swindled again. OF course,
the regular officers will not talk Of
their plans, either to satisfy curiosity
or defend themselves against charges
Of dereliction or dsinterednegs in the
cases brought to their attention. 1t

are alert to the duties of our office,

II anna Foraker
Fight Will Grow.
Roosevelt Withdrew an
Appointment
Which Senator Hanna Very Much
Desired.

Washington, Dec. 21.--A decided
complication has been added to the
row in Ohio by the contest which has
arisen between Senators Hanna and
Foraker over the appointment Of
George P. Dunham to be Auditor for
the Interior department This con-
test promises to mark the beginning
OF a fight between the two Senators
in respect to other federal appoint
ments soon to be made in Ohio, and
thus is certain to widen the existing
breach between the two.
The present contest was precipitated
by President Roosevelt's withdrawal
Friday of the nomination Of Durham,
which he had sent to the Senate sew
eral days ago, the appointment having
been made by the late President Nc
Kinley last spring. Dunham lives in
Wilmington, Clinton county, and thus
is almost next door neighbor to
Senator Foraker. He has been Fora
ker's bitter political enemy for years,
although he has had no personal ac-
uuaintance with the Senator. He was
appointed upon Senator's Hanna's
recommendation, and without the en-
dorsement of Senator Foraker, a some-
what unusual proceeding, when it is
remembered that he is in Senator
Foraker's part of the State.
When the appointment came up for
consideration, Senator Hanna was out
of the city. Senator Burrows asked
Senator Foraker If he had any Objec-
tion to the confirmation Of Dunham,
and Foraker asked that the matter be
delayed for few days until he could
communicate with Senator Hanna, ex-
planning that he had not been con-
suited about the appointment, knew
nothing about 1t, and was not person
ally acquainted with Durham, al
though the latter lived in the imme-
diate vicinity of Cincinnati.
Some days passed, and meanwhile
Senator Hanna had been commune
eating with Senator Burrows urging
that Dunham's appointment be con.
tirmed without delay. Senator Fora.
ker was again asked to define his
position, as the committee was desir.
ous of taking some definite action.

Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-12-21

Senator Hanna had not yet returned
to the city, and as the simplest way
out of the affair, Senator Foraker wis.,
tied the White House and laid before
the President the facts in the case,
laying stress upon the fact that Dun
ham lived in his part Of the State,
had for years been his bitter political
enemy, and yet he had not even been
consulted about the appointment.
The President at once said the appoint
ment should be withdrawn until the
two Ohio Senators could confer, and,
if possible, adjust their differences.
When Senator Hanna returned to
Washington and found that not only
had Foraker protested against Dun
hams appointment, but that the Pres
ident had withdrawn the nomination.,
he was in anything but a placid and
forgiving frame of mind. He hurried
over to the White House and entered
protest against this summary dis
posal of the Durham case, informing
the President that Dunham was one
of the most capable employees of the
Treasury department, and admirably
qualified for the position in the Inter-
iOr' department which he had been ap-
pointed to ill. Secretary Gage, who
happened to be present ut the time,
is said to have confirmed these state
ments of Mr.. Hanna and the President
agreed to look into the matter fur
ther.
This is the way the matter stands
and it will remain in this condition
until after the holiday recess of Con-
gress. Then Senator Hanna will en-
deavor to have President Roosevelt
send the nomination of Durham back
to the Senate for confirmation and
Senator Foraker will try to prevent it.
Even should the President renominate
Durham, which, under the circum.
stances, Is not at all certain, Sena-
tor Foraker will probably fight the
confirmation in the Senate.

AFTER THE
N. o. T. co.
Stark County Commissioners In
vestiaated Canton.Akron Line.

The Stark County Commissioners
have lately investigated complaints
made by citizens againt the manner
in which the N. Q. 4. Co. is proceeding
with the construction of the Canton
Akron line. They made trip along
the line to see if contractors were
violating the conditions of the fran
chise.
Concerning the trip, the News-Demo-
crat SAYS: THE franchise Of the
company requires that in passing
through the towns the line shall oc-
cupy the middle of the street. but in
the country it must keep to one side
of the highway. Going through Green
town the conditions were complied
with but for some little distance after
getting beyond the village limits the
company has continued to occupy the
middle of the road. The railway peO-
pie say that it is necessary in order
to avoid making n compound curve,
as there is jog In the road short
distance out that will compel curve
right on a hill. This can be to some
extent avoided by keeping in the mid
die of the road until the hill has been
passed.
THE complaint of the people who
will be compelled to travel the road
Is that just outside of the town there
is fill and high embankment. If
the car line is in the middle of the
road, there will be very little space on

FOREFATHERS DAY.
Special Observance at First Con-
gregationaI Church.

1t has been the custom among the
Congregational churches in America
for many years to celebrate Fore
fathers Day" 1t is now almost three
hundred years since the Pilgrims
landed, Dec. 81, 1920, on Plymouth
Rock. 1t is natural that their eccles-
iastical descendants, the Congrega-
tionalists, should keep such mem
ory green by fitting services each
year. Tomorrow night, at the First
Congregational church, special servi-
ces will be held. Special music has
been prepared by the choir, under the
supervision of the pastor, and an ad-
dress will be delivered on the subject
"The Pilgrims, Their Faith and Their
Work."
The name of Pilgrim Fathers has
become a household word among all
good and true men, in the old and the
new world. England has at last
learned that pride which should ac-
company the remembrance of them as
her great children. America looks
proudly back to them as q national
ancestry, more noble than the lineage
of the eldest of Europes royal lines.
The celebration at the First Con
gregational church will be for all who
take any interest in the ancestry of
the nation

Peruna is applicable to catarrh OF
any mucous surface of the body in all
stages. From the slightest catarrhal
attack or cold to the most chronic or
pronounced case of hypertrophic form
Peruns is specific.
Men and women are subject to ca
tarrh. Women are even more subject to
catarrh than men. This is due to many
causes. The chief cause is the delicacy
of her organism, as compared to man.
The extreme sensitiveness Of the mu-
cous lining of every organ of woman's
body is we'll known to physicians. This
explains why, in part at least, SO few
women are entirely free from catarrh.
A vast multitude of women have
found Peruna en- Indispensable remedy.
