Mr. Chas. A. kolp, one Of the incor-

does not seem to be worried about OBJ
tanning suitable terminal arrangements
for his line at Akron. TO a News-
Democrat reporter he said:
I'VE are trying to make traffic ar
rangements with the n. o. r. Company
at Akron. That line occupies Akron
very much as the local line does Can

the city by other streets and get good
terminal facilities. This we shall do
unless satisfactory arrangements can

EXCHANGE ST.
Mr.. Crisp Wants a
Viaduct There.
Believes II More Needed Than
One at Mill Street.

City Commissioner John Crisp is in
favor of building a viaduct over the
railroads at Exchange st. He argues
that it is more needed than a viaduct
at Mill st.
"'The greatest part of the traffic on
Mill ST. said Mr.. Crisp, does not go
across the railroads. 1t is carried on
between Main and Howard SITS. and
the American Cereal Co.'S Mills and
the Erie and c.. A. Il c. freight sta
tions. Much of it also turns north on
Broadway and Summit SITS. There is
as much traffic over the railroads at
Exchange st. as at Mill. and, in my
opinion, a greater number OF people
cross the railroads at the former point.
The grade would make it easier to
build viaduct at Exchange st. than at
Mill ST.

BOOM DAYS
At Summit Lake

Preparing For Summer
Theatrical Season.
Casino Will be ENLARGED
at Once.
Manager Has Been Employed by
Proprietors.

These are boom days at Summit Lake
Park. Everything is being placed in
readiness for the coming season which
promises to be big one. Carpenters
and builders, painters and force of
laborers are busy at work getting the
buildings and park in shape for the
opening which occurs Monday, May 20.
The same liberal policy that made last
season such success will be adopted
the coming season and nothing but the
very best in vaudeville will be offered
the public
The Akron amusement loving people
are very appreciative Of real merit
and will support good shows as was
demonstrated last season when over
10000 people attended the theater dur
ing the short season of eighteen weeks.
The theater this season will again be
enlarged to accommodate the large
crowds. With better street car service
and transfer system whereby people
from any part of Akron can go to the
park for one fare the attendance should
be materially increased.
Mr.. Luo q. Lee, of Hamilton, Can,
will again have charge of the theater,
having been appointed manager of
amusements. lie will be here the COM
ing week and will Immediately COM
mence booking the shows. Mr.. Lee
has devoted most of his time in the
last six months to securing some of the
most novel and sensational acts that
have appeared in the leading eastern
metropolitan theaters during the past
winter. Menches Bros. have erected
two elegant new cottages ut Summit
Lake park. There has always been a
demand for cottages there, and more
will follow as the demand increases.
An entire set of new scenery is being
made and painted for the theater The
work is being done by an Akron artist
Mr.. Marks. 1t will be the hondsomest
stage setting in Akron when com.
pleted. One of the leading features
this season will ne the American Vita

POTTERS
OF East Liverpool May
Go Out.
No Likelihood of Trouble Arising
In Akron.

There is possibility of serious diff
ficulty between manufacturing and
operative potters at East Liverpool,
but it is believed that should this
arise, Akron men will not be affected.
A dispatch from East Liverpool sayss
There is not the slightest prospect
of the manufacturing porters of the
West signing the scale which was
presented to them by the operatives
last Saturday. Manufacturers claim
some of the demands of the operatives
are out of reason, and that, should
the scale be signed at all, notifications
will have to be made.
1.-THE operatives have asked for
conference April Is, and at that time
1t is supposed some change will be
made. There has been talk of all the
operatives striking May 1 if the scale
is not signed, and If this is done the
chances for trust among the potters
is very bright"
Mr.. Joseph Cook, president of the
Akron China Co, said Thursday, that
the local manufacturers would be gov
erned largely by the action of manu-.
facturers elsewhere.

BANKS
Have Been Multi.
plying
Too Rapidly to Please
Older Ones.
Plan to Stop the Increase at
Cleveland.

A movement Is on foot among the
stronger banks of Cleveland to put a
stop to the practice of lending money
to start new banking establishments,
says the Plain Dealer. The feeling
seems to prevail among bankers that
too much of this sort of thing has been
done in the past, rendering it alto
gether too easy for new banks to be
started without any need for them, and
that this has made the field too attrac-
tive for people of purely speculative
turn of mind. In the past all that has
been necessary in starting bank has
been to secure subscriptions to the cap
ital stock, and then have the individ-
.ual subscribers borrow money from the
older banks on the certificates of the
new institutions, thus practically result
ing in the old banks furnishing the cap
ital for the new ones.
1t is thought that by putting a stop
to this practice there will be less like
lihood of new banks being started so
freely.
Concerning this condition, well
known banker said yesterday:
1t is high time that the banks should
take astand of this sort, for the specu-
lative fever resulting in the starting
Of new banks has reached too fast a
pitch,' said prominent banker.
"Within the next few months there
will be created in Cleveland new bank
ing capital to the extent OF something
like $9,OOO,OOO.
$40 the outsider this might appear
to mean that there will be this much
actual money added to the banking
capital of Cleveland, while as mat
ter of fact 1t means that large pro-
portion of this amount of money is iic
Il t.. nn;s A,.nIx. It- l,n
bookkeeping in the banks already in
existence. In other words, the man
who subscribed for 100 shares of stock
of new bank and agrees to pay $1O,
600 therefor, simply goes to his own
bank and borrows as much as possible
of this amount, perhaps $4,000, per
haps $4,000, and it possible the full
amount. This means that the old bank
simply makes an entry on its
books charging $4,000 or what
ever the sum may be, to
loans, and if this is repeated in the
case Of all the stock issued in the new
bank, it simply means that the whole
capital of the bank, or the bulk of it,
is created by bookkeeping entries in
the older banks, without any equiva-
lent being given in actual money.

trouble, as it makes the field too at
tractive to spectators, and | believe

CORRECTS
Misleading Statements
In Regard to the Helbling Con.
troversy.

TO the Editor of the Democrat:
AS the comments made in some of
our local papers concerning the action
of the Council in declaring a vacancy
held by Vincent Helbing and the ap-
pointment of myself to fill that va
cancy, are misleading, l have thought
1t best through your columns to let
the public know the facts concerning
the matter.
On Tuesday, April End some of my
friends came to me and suggested
that as they understood that Squire
Helbling would in all probability be
unable to transact any further busi-
ness during his term of Office, it
might be well to secure his resignation
and have the Council appoint ME in
his stead. 1 told them that L would
not care to go to Squire Helbling
myself concerning this matter, but
If they saw fit to approach him and
objection, providing the Council saw
fit to appoint me, to taking the place.
Two or three of them came to my
office at 2 o'clock that afternoon and
said that they had learned that Squire
Helbling was not in the city. After
talking the matter over they decided
to telegraph him, stating that / had
been defeated for reelection and that
in rhe event of his resignation the
Council would appoint me to fill the
vacancy, and asking him, If it met
with his approval, to wire his resigna-
ton to Mr.. Frank Ficboger president
of the Council This telegram was
signed by Mayor w. n. Young, and
the name of City Clerk Isbcl was also
attached by a person who had the
authority to sign for him and the tele-
gram was then taken by one Of the
persons present 10 Mr. Christ Helbling.
a brother of Vincent Helblmg, and his
signature was also obtained.
The communication sent to the
Council, notifying that body that
Squire Helbllng had transacted no
business since August of last year,
was q matter that was wholly in the
hands of my friends and this COM
munication was not, as / understand
it, intended to be used unless the tele-
gram sent to Helbling did not reach
him in time to receive his reply before
the adjournment of Council Tuesday
night.
l was not present at the Council
meeting and did not know that any
action had been taken until the next
day.
There Were no misrepresentation
made by me to any one, nor did make
any effort to obtain the signatures to
this telegram and l am satisfied that
none Of my friends misrepresented the
matter in any particular.
: My understanding was that In the
event Mr.. Hebling did not see fit TO
resign his Office, nothing more would
be done, and the action of the Coun-
Gil in declaring the office vacant after
the telegram from him was received
was done without any knowledge
whatever on my part.
The signatures to this telegram We're
bona fide, as can be shown by an ex-
animation of the original, which is on
file at the Office of the Western Union
Telegraph company of this city.
