Columbus, o., Dec. 11.-There have

everything.

at whose suggestion the candidate en-
tered the race, and by Mr.. Scobey him.

until after the conference to be held
by Republican leaders in Washington

MARCONI HAS
ORDERS TO STOP
Anslo.American Telegraph Co.
Controls In Newfoundland.

st. Johns, n. f., Dec. 17--Marconi
has returned here from Cape Spear,
where he experienced poor luck. The
weather was rendered extremely un-
pleasant by fog, wind and Il rainstorm
and the inventor was unable to decide
upon II site for his proposed station.
Mr.. Marconi wishes to avoid the pres
encc of high hill behind the station.
Hills in the background are detrimen-
tai TO the system II they are in the line
of transmission, as they weaken the
signals by causing rebound.
On returning here from Cape Spear
Marconl was served with legal docu-
ments from the solicitors of the Anglo
American Telegraph Co. These notify
him that the said company possesses
an exclusive monopoly of the telegraph
business within Newfoundland and its
dependencies and demand that he
cease his experiments and remove
his apparatus forthwith, otherwise the
company will apply to the Supreme
court for an injunction restraining him
from further trials.
Marconl has not yet decided what
course of action he will take In the
matter. But he regards this action
on the part of the Anglo-American
Telegraph Co as the best proof Of the
Importance of his new discovery.

NOT YET.
Franchise Still a
Live Issue.
Passed Only Its First
Reading.
Another Amendment
Tackled On,
And Motion to Strike Off Their
Cent Clause Rejected.

The N. o. T. franchise for a street
car line in South Akron, including the
three-cent fare clause, of the City Com,
nissioners, and a transfer amendment
tackled on by Mr.. Winum, passed first
reading at Council meeting, Monday
night. Not enough member favorable
to the franchise were present to place
amendment was the same he offered at
q previous meeting, but which was re-
iected, he said, owing to its not being
understood. 1t calls for the giving of
transfers ut any point for one contin-
uous passage in any direction, within
the stated time limit.
Mr.. A. Il. Rinehart, of the Webster,
Camp g. Lane Co. attended the meet
ing and again urged Council to grant
franchise which the company would
accept. "If you grant reasonable
franchise" he said, 1--WE can compel
the company to build the line, under
the terms OF Il contract South Akron
people have with it. But if the fran,
chisc, such as you are considering now
i. passed, it will run the city into a
useless expense of advertising it, be-
cause the company has many outlets
for escape"
Mr.. Sawyer said that the loyalty
shown for Akron by Webster, Camp
& Lane in keeping their plant here
when they had good opportunity to
remove it to Barberton, should
be considered in favor of granting a
franchise the N o. Il. Co. would ac.
cept. He presented motion that the
three-cent clause be stricken from the
franchise, but it was lost.
DR.. Hill admitted that there was
much need for Improvement in the ser
that he believed Council could not bet
ter serve the people than by helping
to provide them with Il street car line
in South Akron, by passing an ordi
nance the company would accept. la
ter we'll have opportunity to compe
improvement" he said.
Messrs. Winum, and Martin main
tanned that now was the time to strik,
and strike decisively. They believe
the company really wants the fran
chise and that Council need not fea
that the company will not accept it.
Mr.. Walker failed in an attempt t,
have the franchise referred to TIN
; Ordinance committee and nothing will
be done with it till the next meeting
of Council.
