A Renaissance in Pottery
The present may be quite aptly spoken
Of as the renaissance period in pottery.
We are digging up and adapting to the
articles of today decorations, designs and
shapes originated by our forbears of many
generations back. The Egyptian. the
Moorish, the Mexican and the Pueblo In
dian little thought In the dim. dark age
that the whimsical creations Of their pot
tiers would be copied by workmcn OF an
artistic period centuries later, Yet such
is the case, and the Egyptian designs are
one Of the most popular Of this modern
Twentieth century.

the lamp which was in existence at the

At Point Of Revolver He Was Forced to
Surrender His Cash.
A BOLD HOLD.UP At EIGHTH and LYNCH STREETS
Throw Up Your Hands," the Bandits Cried as
They Confronted Their Startled Victin1---
After Securing the Money They Fled
---Polce In Pursuit

Charles Bederman was held up at the
point of a revolver and robbed of $29
near Lynch and Eighth street at GAS
o'clock Monday evening. There were
two highwaymen. One held the gun
while the other went through Beder-
mans pockets. -
After securing the money they fled
down Lynch street to Ninth and turned
toward the Valley railroad. Bederman
Immediately reported the matter to the
police. and several officers went in pur-
suit of the bandits, but without success.
Bederman is employed at the Dueber
works and had drawn his money at the
close of work in the afternoon. After
eating supper at his home, 920 East
Ninth street, he started to walk up
town. AS he reached an alley near the
intersection of Lynch and Eighth two
men stepped out of the darkness be-
hind.a small shed. The foremost of the
men showed a revolver in Bederman s
face and said in hoarse whisper.
Throw up your hands"
Bederman obeyed and the second man
began a hurried search of his pockets
The pocketbook, containing $40, was in
his right hip pocket and it was only a
few seconds until it was in the posses
sion of the thieves.
As soon as the fellow who was con-
ducting the search pounced onto the
pocketbook he told the man with the
gun to "come on" and they took to
their heels.
Bederman watched them until they
turned at the corner of Lynch and
Ninth streets headed toward the Valley

county and is so important factor
in getting the product Of the Massillon
coal fields to the markets, has passed
into the hands Of the Baltimore and
Ohio company. The transfer has
been officially announced by Chairman
Solomon, of the B. and o. board Of
directors.
The absorption of the G. L. & w.
gives the Baltimore and Ohio people
control of nearly the entire coal fields
of Ohio, as they already control the
Cleveland, Terminal and Valley, which
runs through Canton, the Pittsburg
and Western and many other feeders
that extend into the coal fields not
only in Ohio, hut West Virginia and
Pennsylvania.
The rumor is revived that the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie is also to become
part Of the B. & o. system and color
is added to this report from the close
traffic relations that exist between the
two lines that naturally should be
competitors. The Morgans, who are
back of the B. & o., are seeking to
control the lake coal trade, and they
are in shape now to do so. Should
they get the Wheeling they would have
practically no opposition.
The c. L. & w. operate 200 miles
of road. The passing into the hands
of the Morgans of the Cleveland, Lo-
rain and Wheeling, however, is a move
ment which is most interesting to the
various financial interests. This line
is by odds the strongest coal property
of it's inches in the United States,
standing third in the destiny Of traffic
in the country. 1t has most valuable

railroad. He then hurried to police
headquarters and reported the hold-up.
The two men who did the work are
described by Bederman as being of
medium size. One had dark overcoat
and wore stiff hat the other wore o
light overcoat and slorch hat. Both
wore dark handkerchiefs around the
lower parts of their faces, completely
concealing their features and making
Identification impossible in case Of
capture.
The portion OF the street where the
hold-up was committed is well adapted
to the work of the foot pad. Low un-
lighted buildings line the walk and
throw the place into deep shadow. It
is impossible to apprehend the danger
until one is
FAIRLY UP AGAINST 1T.
In this case the men secreted them
selves between two of the sheds and
were upon their victim before he had
time even to take fight.
Bederman says he has reason to be-
lieve that the job was done by someone
who knows him and who. knew that
he had the money in his pocket. 1t
also appears to him that the thieves
were familiar enough with his move
ments to be able to forestall him at
this certain place. The bandits evident
ly did not care for anything except the
cash.
Bederman had watch in his trous-
er's pocket, but they either overlooked
it or magnanimously allowed him to
keep it as a slight testimonial of their
regard

From Staff Correspondent.
Columbus, March 5.-Several days
ago attorneys representing Canton par
ties interested in the manufacture of
a gasoline lamp called on Attorney
General Sheets and protested against
the recent order of the State Oil In
spectors John r. Malloy and Frank
p. Baird prohibiting the use of gasoline
as an illuminant. Remonstrances have
been made by gasoline lamp men from
all over the state as the enforcement
of the order would mean a heavy pecun-
iary loss to them. To settle the matter
the oil inspectors asked the attorney
general to pass upon 1t. The question
submitted for solution was, whether
those who use gasoline for Illuminating
purposes are guilty of an infraction Of
the laws relating to the inspection Of
illuminating oils refined from petrol
cum, where they use an apparatus
which was invented since the enact
ment of the law, whereby gasoline may
be used as an illuminate with entire
safety"
AN INVALID RULING.
and pronounced invalid the ruling of
Inspectors Malloy and Baird. In an
alyzing the act of 1884 Attorney
General Sheets said: "At the time this
act was passed a great deal of low grade
oil was sold and consumed and many
serious accidents were happening, es-
pecially from the use of gasoline in
lamps, the mechanism of which was
wholly unsuited to the purpose. Hence,
the purpose of the enactment of this
law was as police regulation to
remedy those evils. Since that time the
gasoline stove has come into almost
universal use, and number of different
styles of lamps have been invented
whereby gas is generated from the
gasoline, and mixed with air, and when
ignited and In contact with the mantle,
produces steady white light. 1t Is
claimed, and / believe conceded, that
this style Of apparatus is perfectly safe
and the light thus produced satisfactory
and inexpensive. Hence. it seems the
evils which led to the enactment of the
statute no longer exist.
FREE OF DANGER,
Here then is lamp that is safe and
cheap; the manufacturers desire to sell
It and the public desire to purchase and
use. Are the provisions of the law
shove referred to in the way? Under

Iature may regulate and sometimes pro-

engaged in that work. He tells a hui
morous story of Gov. de Witt Clinton
who came there to Inspect the work.
= 1.-The governors visit, was, of course,
anuoccasion of great concern to us,
and we accorded him all the honors of
his position; but one mischievous boy
in the crowd was determined to have
his fun in spite of anything. Unbe-
known to the rest of us. he placed a
plank in such a position over the ditch
that when his excellency stepped upon
the board it would upset. The little
rascal's plans worked to perfection.
When Gov Clinton wa ked out on the
plank, smash it went, and he was pre-
cipitated into the soft, black mud. OF
course we all smiled at the governors
mishap-anybody would have done SO
but the funny boy yelled: Go back
to Albany, governor, and tell your
friends that you've had a bath in

AT the COMP ct on of the Erie canal.
Gen. Lafayette went through the state
on a barge and Stopped at Rome,
where carpets were spread on the
streets for the distinguished guest to
walk upon. Mr.: Cronk was a member
of the committee which received the
friend of America and assisted in ac-
cording him the h nors of the occa-
sion. In 1925 Cronk was married to
Mary Thornton, and they enjoyed six
ty years of welded life. Mrs. Cronk
passed away in 1885. They had six
children, fourteen grandchildren, and
four great grandchildren.
First Vote Was for jackson.
In politics Mr.. Cronk is a strong
Democrat, having cast his first vote
for Andrew Jackson. He is a devout
Methodist and can carry many of the
old-time hymns through from begin
ming to end in a fairly strong voice.
His age seems to be nothing unusual
in his family. One brother and one
sister lived to the age of 50; one sis
ter was 81, another brother "a and a
third brother IS. Mr.. Cronk has used
tobacco the greater part of his life, but
does not attribute his old age to the
habit. He can read large print with
out the aid of glasses and is able to
walk about the house without the as
sistance of cane. His hair and
beard are snowy white, and he ap-
pearsf'to be in the best of health and
able to Withstand many more years
in spite of his advanced age.
