STILL ANOTHER
Athletic Club May be
Formed.
East End Citizens Will Meet To-
night at Wilm0t Hall.

1t is very likely that another ath-
letic club will be added to the number
already in existence in Akron. A
meeting has been called for tonight,
in East Akron, at Wilmot hall, for the
purpose of discussing the advisable
ity of forming another club, and a
gathering of nearly all the people in
that part of the city who are inter-
ested in athletic clubs, is expected.
The prime movers in the enterprise
are the members of the East End
Blues, whose record for this years foot
ball season has been one Of the best
among Akron teams. The enthusiasm
and the following that was created
by the work of this team, is RESPONSE
BILE for the rising of the athletic club
spirit among the citizens of the East
End.
Many would like membership in
one Of the clubs of the city, but they
realize that none are near enough to
them to make membership convenient
This is the reason there is much hope
for the success of the enterprise that
will be launched tonight at wilmot
hall. If the meeting is success, the
club will be straightway formed.

THE CRAMPS BIG CLAIM.
House Spends Entire Day Discussing
Bill to IIefer 1t to the Court of
Claims.

Washington, Jan. 1S-The House spent
the entire day to-day on the bill to re-
fer to the Court of Claims the claims
of the William Cramp & Son Shipbuilding
Company of Philadelphia for alleged dam
ages, due to the delay of the government
in furnishing the armor-plate and mate
rial for the battleships Massachusetts and
Indiana and the cruisers New York and
Columbia, The claims aggregate 81 ,S67, PA.
The bill has been conspicuous at every
session of Congress for several years. 1t
met with the strenuous and determined
opposition of a portion of the minority
under the leadership of Mr.. McDermott
of New Jersey and Mr.. Robb of Missouri.
Mr.. Bingham of Pennsylvania spoke in
support of the bill.
Mr.. Robb of Missouri, who is a mem
Der OF the Committee on Claims, opposed
the bill He called attention to the fact
that the contract with the Cramps speci-
fed that no additional charges should be
made on account Of changes in plans and
also that the contracts had further ex-
pressly released the government from
every claim for loss or damage sustained
by them by reason of the government
failure to furnish armor and material. The
government held the contractors receipt
in full
Mr.. McDermott characterized the bill
as a remarkable measure, in that it dt-
rected the court to render such Judgment
as would fully, fairly and equitably"
compensate the company. That direction
would include interest.
Mr.. Rixey of Virginia, Mr. Grosvenor of
Ohio and Mr.. Otey spoke.
Then the committee rose and reported to
the House that it had come to no conclu-
sion upon the Cramp bill. A prolonged
ilibuster was begun, but its advocates at
length succeeded in having the previous
question ordered upon the bill. The vote
on previous question was 14 to Sc. This
gives the bill a tactical advantage in a
parliamentary way which practically in
sures a vote upon it, whenever it is called
up again. -Four minor bills were passed,
and at $40 O'Clock the House adjourned.
