llama Character Well Known In
This Vicinity.

Dutch john" the mascot of the mill.
was brought down from the works of
the Republic Iron and Steel company
Thursday evening, and made to explain
why he had assaulted a workman
named Capellar, says the Massillon In
dependent.
He hit me fierst hart NIT his fist"
said John. Den l yust tapped him
light NIT meln shovel"
Capellerproduced a much ba ttered nosa
and cheek in support of his allegation
that 1t was not light tap that John had
given him. He said the mascot had
taken offense at nothing, and that he
had made his attack as savagely as an
enraged animal. If persons had not in
terfered he believed that John would
have done some killing.
The mayor sentenced John to ten days
In the workhouse, but at the request of
Capeller revoked the penalty, and ad-
moniShed the mascot against q repeti-
tlon of the offense. John did not like
the talk about the workhouse. He did
not feel that he was in the wrong, and
threatened to take the case to the at
tention of the German government. He
was informed that the kaisers nation
was not represented at this port.
Dutch John" Is an odd card. No
body knows his real name. He is 65
years old, and has been a tramp, ac-
cording to his own stories, most of his
life. His living he receives from the
workmen employed at the mill, for
whom he does errands and odd jobs.
He sleeps in one of the sheds that are
always warm because of the nearness
of the heating furnaces. John divides
his time between the Massllon and Ca
nal Dover mills. All iron and steel
workers in this part of the state know
John, but where he came from and how
he came here are mysteries. He never
talks about himself.

Wrought Up Over the Scandal.

charges of perjury against Robson,
adding that he perjured himself when
he stated the age of Miss Wise as be-
ing Is years. The mother alleges that
the girl is but 16 years old, and that
she was too young to be married. The
Wise family is highly indignant over
the cscapade Of the daughter and Robi-
son and they threaten to cause the at
mosphere to become humid If the
young man should return to Middle
branch.
Attorneys who have discussed the
case. state that there is little liability
Of holding Robson on the charge OF
perjury. Even though he should be ar
rested on that charge, first having been
eXtradited from Pennsylvania at great
expense, he could say the girl told him
she was Is years of age, and there would
be little else for the court to do than 10
discharge him.
1t was evident that Miss Wise did not
secure the license but that her husband
stated her age when questioned by the
deputy probate judge. The girl re-
mained outside the office or with friends
while the license was being obtained
The little village is greatly wrought
up over the affair.

The ticket agent at the Pennsylvania
railway station confirms the report that
George w. Robson and his youthful
spouse have gone to Huntingdon, Pa.
This intelligence was secured Friday
by George Wise, who was in this city
in search of the dusky lover and his
bride. Wise searched innumerable
places where he believed the bride and
groom might have gone, but his efforts
were in vain until he visited the Penn
sylvania depot There he was told that
i tckets had been purchased for the
place named and that just about the
time that he called, the couple was
probably stepping off the train in Hun
tingdon.
Wise went back to his home in Mid
dlebranch, Friday night, but returned to
this city Saturday morning, accompani-
ed by his mother. They called at the
mayors office, desiring to secure infor-
nation as to what charge could be pre-
ferred against Robson. The mayor had
not arrived at that early hour and to-
gether they started for the court house
to interview the prosecutor as to what
action they could take.
They stated that they would file

finds HIS GUNS Are ALL SPIKED.
Says the III Feeling In Carroll Is
Becoming Intense---May
Affect Party.

Attorney j. II. Blythe, of Carrollton,
was in Canton Friday afternoon look
ing up his chances for the Republican
nomination for common pleas judge.
1t is said that he received the frosted
hand when the subject of the judgeship
was mentioned but on all other matters
could get free expressions from the
local attorneys.
Mr. Blythe, when seen by News.
Democrat reporter. said:
Down in Carroll we feel as though
We were entitled to resident Judge.
Stark county has never suffered be-
cause a Carroll county man occupied
the bench. Their interests were well
looked after by Judges Raley and Tay-
lor.
IT fear that the continued ignoring of
Carroll's rights will have a bad effect
upon the party. Our people have had
nothing. They were robbed of their
representative, their senator, last year
our local judge was superseded by a
Stark county man and this year 1t looks
as though we were again to be set
aside.
"I have not as yet determined as to
whether / shall enter the race. l find
some sentiment in favor of Carrolrs
rights among members of the bar here
but it is not enough to give much en-
couragement.
"It is said Hon. H. J. Eckley will be
q candidate, but as to this am not able
to state definitely"
Mr.. Blythe said that soon af-
ter coming to the city he was
handed q copy of call is
sued for a meeting of the bar to be
held Saturday to endorse Henry w
Harter, and 1t was so generally signed
that it seemed useless for any other
candidate to look for much encourage
fment from members Of the bar, though
he did not know what the feeling was
among the people, who are the real fac
tors in making nominations.

IMPOSITION and FRAUD.
Assistant Attorney General Gets
After Cooperative Companies.
Investors Have Absolutely No Security
When They Put Their Cash
Into These Concerns.

Columbus, Jan. 19.-Assistant sAttor-
ney General Todd filed in the circuit
court of Franklin county the case of
the state ex rel. the attorney general
against the Workingmen's Real Estate
company, of Akron. The proceedings
are in quo warranto and are brought
to Gust the company from It's charter
rights. Mr.. Todd said yesterday that
similar companies have sprung up like
widhre in all parts OF the state during
the past six months and that their
methods of business are clearly illegal
lie said:
This company proposes to do busi-
ness upon the cooperative plan. Like
other corporations of it's kind, 1t Is or
ganized with
SMALL CAPITAL STOCK,
none of which It uses in its business.
It's plan is to borrow money from per-
sons holding It's contracts and, as fast
as sufficient funds are secured, to pur-
chase property to be placed in pos
session of the holder OF the first con-
tract issued. The fortunate holder is
then permitted to pay for the property
| by easy payments and without inter-
est. In other words the plan Is pre-
| cisely the same as that of the Home
| Cooperative union, of Lima corpora
| ton recently ousted by the supreme
| court
The particular iniquity Of these as
sociations. Of which niahy have been
organized in the state recently. is that
| INVESTORS in their contracts have
ABSOLUTELY NO SECURITY
for the money invested except such as
the company voluntarily gives them.
| The life of corporation dealing in real
estate is limited by statute to 25 years
| and 1t follows as a natural consequence
| that these companies cannot carry out
| their contracts. In the case Of the
Home Cooperative union, the company
| had more than 5000 contracts in force
with absolutely no possibility Of being
| able to purchase 5000 pieces of property
| to fill these contracts, within 25 years.
| The persons engaged in promoting
these companies
REAP RICH HARyESTS
while the organizations continue with
| out any investment or any risk Of cap
ital. Their operations are carried on
among people not well posted upon the
laws of finance and their money is
drawn from persons who cannot afford
to lose it. The object of incorporating
with small capital stock is simply tc
evade the force of the supreme court
decision in the case of the Lima COM
pany.
THE statutes provide the methods by
which corporations may borrow money
The business of these realty companies
consists chiefly in borrowing money in
a way not authorized by the statutes
1t Is the purpose of the attorney gen.
erals office to drive all these concerns
from the state and thus to protect the
laboring classes from imposition and
| fraud"
