Accused Attorneys Of At
tempt to Bride. IA
WOULD GIVE NAMES
Attorney for Arbuckies Said
Offer Was Made to Sc
cure Verdict for
Defe n d ut.

Toledo, Aug. 21.-There we're some
sensational developments In the case
in which State Pure Food Commis-
sioner Blackburn recently secured
verdict Of guilty against A. d. White,
Q local grocer charged with selling a
glazed coffee manufactured by the
Arbuckles. The attorneys for the Ar
buckles went before Judge Neck, in
the city courts, Iefore whom the case
was tried, and requested him to make
the docket entry so as to get the case
into the higher courts. Judge Meek
declined to do SO until Walter Brown,
attorney for the state, was present.
A heated discussion ensued, in
which the attorneys for the Arbuckles
charged that Walter Brown, attorney
for the state, ruled the judge. Then
the latter sprung sensation by
charging that the attorneys for the
Arbuckles had sent three men to him
Offering 1000 to let them have the
fury, and that when he refused to do
this they sent emissaries with the Of
fer of $1,000 to take the case from
tie jury. The judge says if neces-
sary he will make public the names
Of the men who made him the propo-
sition. In answer to this charge Clar-
epce Brown, one Of the attorneys for
the Arbuckles, gave out the following
statement:
81 will say that an offer was made
to us to secure a verdict for defend
ant in the coffee case for considera.
tion, and the price was named. We
dent say 1t was done by Meck's au.
thority, for we don't know. But the
0Her was made, and the price was
named at which we could obtain a
verdict but we did not care to get one
that way"
The case probably will be investi'
gated. 1t is charged that the Wool
sons are back Of the states prosecu
lion OF this case. The court made the
entry after mandamus proceedings
had been threatened.

OrrvilIe Firemen After
the Canton laddies.
AN EXCEPTION TAKEN
To the Account Of the North
Lawrence Fire and Q Claim
Set Up That Orrviile Dis.
tinguished Herself.

The Orrville Crescent takes excap-
tions to the News.Democrat account
of the North Lawrence fire, which. all
agreed at the time, was a careful and
detailed relation Of the facts. What
the OrTville people object tC most
strenuously was the reference to the
ludicrous attempt of the Orrville fire.
men to get their engine to run. In
this connection the Crescent says:
Canton firemen arrived after the
Orryille fire fighters but the fire had
been put under such control that it
was not necessary to take their en-.
gine from the cars. The Canton fire.
men stood around and offered ell
kinds of advice which was listened to
but not acted upon. The Orryille
firemen are volunteer men and have
gained an enviable reputation for their
success in fighting fires. The reputa.
ton of the Canton firemen was net in
any way sent skyward by their &C.
tions at the fire. The chief aim seem
ed to get in the way of those who were
working as hard as possible. They
offered much criticism to. the Orrvillc
methods Of putting out fire. But
one thing should be remembered by
the, Canton brethren and that Is that
the methods employed by the Orreille
fremen- are the kind that are success
full and the kind that put out fires
That is what counts at confiagration
Other companies may wear line uni
forms and snowy helmets but worl,
counts, and the Orrville fremen are
not afraid to work as was plainly
shown at the Lawrence fire.
The Crescent then quotes quite CO
piously from the News-Democrat, es
pecially the reference to the Orrville
fremen who tried to suck the sand
out of the bottom Of the creek, through
the suction pipe of the steamer. The
orders to give her sand" were moi
omitted, and the reference closes by
the issue of the following Challenge
to the Canton department.:
The Orrville firemen will take nc
second place TO the Canton firemer
and if the Canton firemen want test
of skill, let them choose the time an6
place and have the fire in good shape
and Orrville will show them how Il
put out fires in short order.

A DRUG ON THE MARKET
ere the Doubtful Labor Outlook ana
Questionable Position Of v. s.
| Steel Stocks.

New York, Aug. 21.-The stock
market was somewhat broader and
more active Tuesday, but there was
still no evidence of any large partici-
patton in the market by the general
public or by great financial Interests
on a large scale. The questionable
position OF the United States Steel
stocks and the doubtful outlook for
the labor situation are still drag on
the general market, although the mar.
bet for the United States Steel stocks
themselves and their price movement
are narrow. The market guardians of
the stocks show themselves amply
able to take charge of all the stock
.ffered, showing that the company's
shares have come to be closely held.
But the supporters OF the stocks are
inclined to take profits on holdings
thus acquired upon any advance In
price. and they bid up the prices when
anything like an outside demand de-
velops for the stocks. Under these
artificial conditions the movement OF
the stocks has little significance. The
general list showed a disposition on
Tuesday to ignore the Steel stocks.
The railroads concerned in the North.
crn Pacific settlement and others al
lied by Identical ownership or other
wise, resumed the leadership Of the
market Tuesday. This may have been
based upon a published report of a
yrolnged conference Monday at Bar
Harbor between the three financlers
who conducted the Northern Pacific
contest and its settlement Tho Nor.
gan and Hartman roads were gener.
ely affected in sympathy, including
llinois Central, Chicago and Alton,
Southern Railway and Chicago, In.
dianapolis and Louisville. The an.
thracite carriers manifested some
rtrength and the bituminous coal car.
riers made gains, although Norfolk
ond Western and Chesapeake and
Ohio suffered from profit taking. A
sharp decrease in earnings of Norfoll,
land Western for the second week in
August seemed to emphasize this dig.
position. Some large individual blocks

A sharp recovery in sterling Tuesday

bills were reported smaller in connec.
tion with reports Of small seaboard
wheat clearings, which caused a re.
action In the wheat market. But this
influence was largely Offset by the
