An Incident of Friday

Mayor Doyle Turned Mr.

The Senatorship Should Come to

The contest for the Senatorial nomi-

either interest or vigor. And yet that

In both camps money is being used,
for legitimate purposes no doubt,

in their fight to secure vote in the
Senate for the Clark bill.
In a score of places throughout the
county the supporters of Mr.. Alexan-
der held private meetings Sunday.
Others are scheduled for Monday
night. Mr.. Alexander himself is not
at his headquarters, but Jonathan
Taylor is there all the time.
Mr.. Taylor's position in the fight
was responsible for his failing to be
delegate to the Republican County
Convention Of last Saturday, he says
and blames Commissioners "Jim" vii

There is an air of quiet confidence

Formal announcement was made
Monday morning that Mr.. j. Fl. Nc
Crum was no longer connected Off
cially with the Akron Narnish Co.
To those who were not familiar
with the circumstances this news
came as n surprise. Mr.. McCrums
friends, and they are legion, had an
ticipated the announcement. They had
known that for a week or more the
company had been unable to get any
trace of the treasurer
Two weeks ago Saturday he left
Akron. Before going he stated that
he would visit Pittsburg and New
York for the purpose of calling on a
number Of large customers with whom
he was personally acquainted A few
days later the company received "a
note from a Pittsburg house for large
bill of goods that had been sold by
Mr.. McCrum. This note was for
warded by Mr.. McCrum. Since then
nothing has been heard from him. A
climax was reached Saturday night
when the police We're called to the
McCrum residence on Adolph ave. 1t
was reported that an attempt was
being made to remove the household
effects and the company officials
wished to have an inspection made
OF the property to see that no books,
belonging to the corporation, were
taken away. When the police arrived
1t was found that everything had been
At midnight two moving vans had
driven up to the residence and re-
moved the goods. These had been
placed In cart but no order had been
left as to where they should be ship
ped.
Monday morning all sorts of rumors
were current. 1t was reported that a
large shortage had been discovered
In Mr.. McCrum's accounts. In justice
to Mr.. McCrum it should be said that
there is absolutely no foundation for
this story. An expert made an exam
ination of the books of the treasurer
and found everything all right. There
was not n discrepancy of any kind
Every cent was accounted for. The
funds In all the banks are straight and
there tx nothing that tends to show
anything dishonest about the trans
actions of Mr.. McCrum. His absence
cannot be explained. 1t il generally
known that the relations that have
existed between Mr.. McCrum and
Mr.. II. G. Kubler have not been pleas
ant. There were many points or
which they disagreed and many OF
Mr.. McCrum's friends believe that hC
left the company because OF this fact
They cannot explain. however, why II,
should employ such extraordinary
tactics in going away.

Completion ofthe Siberian Railway

Baltic with the Pacific, hy means of the
Trans Siberian Railway, being the long
est work of its kind i'll the world and in
many respects the most important though
relatively Il less undertaking than the
construction Of the Erie Railroad just
fifty years ago. The statement that the
road is completed needs modification.

aud two years are to be used in preparing
il for regular use.
1t is a little difficult to say exactly
what the road has cost, as some of th,.
eNnenSe has not figured in returns. but it
will reach more than $4oooo0,oOO. In
order to gain time the road was at first
