Cars and Trains to
Cleveland
Carried Thousands of
Akronians.
By Daybreak the People We're
Starting.

Transportation capacity Of the rail'
roads has been given very severe
test during the last few days. The
enormous crowds that are attending
the q. A. II. encampment at Cleve-
land have waited until almost the last
minute and then all wanted to go at
once Trains have been crowded night
and day Extras have helped to car
~ the people, but there has been trou-
BILE in getting to Cleveland, neverthe-
less.
The c., 4. & V. carried 3S coach loads
of people this morning. G. d. Honodle
estimates that at least 1000 Akronians
bought tickets at the Union depot to-
day.
The cars of the A. 3. G. were crowd
ed almost before daybreak and many
people were turnss away because there
was no room for them.
rdlih MSeis, VI 'he oou'h ihu VII
CINE house was one of party who
chartered a car on the A. b. c. This
car was run out on South Main st. and
picked up the crowd wherever they
were gathered. In this way a great
deal of crowding and confusion was
prevented.
Today is the big day of the encamp-
ment and the monster parade will be
its feature.
Fosters band is also in Cleveland
today to take part in the parade.
The total attendance of Akron peo-
| pie ut the encampment is probably
$500.

Doerler aside at police headquarters
he said, cautiously, I'm a detective,
and have got this other niger caught
so tight that he can't get away" He
admitted that it was he who tele-
phoned the message from Kent, repre-
senting that he was constable.
He said II fell In with Harris at
Bellaire and we travelled together
from there to Akron. He told me that
he had fallen out with an old man

The sum and substance of Harris

1t is believed that Thomas was
once employed to guard a watermelon

likely secured confession that th
latter was mixed up in trivial figh
at Bellaire. The men will be ex

IT has been suggested by some OF
the members of the Akron bowling
league that the recent decision to nave
all matches of the league played on
public alleys was made to prevent
the Kirkwoods from getting into the
game this year. 1t Is known that
there have been several differences
of opinion between the members OF
the Kirkwood club and the members
of the other clubs and it was thought
that tile measure that was decided on
al the last meeting of the league was
In retaliation for fancied wrongs.
The officials of the league deny,
however, that they intend TO discrim
mate against any club In the city.
They say that all are welcome and
that Kirkwoods are AS welcome as
the rest. II this were not the case
