TWO INCIDENTS
That Started All Talk
Against the Carr Family
Claim Made by Defense,

Thompson. Taylor and Carr have not
been friends for years. Their trouble
dates from the time lawsuit was
heard before Copiey Justice. Taylor
was on one side and Carr on the other.
Before the Carrs removed from Akron
to Copley the Thompsons were ten
ants on the farm, where the Carrs now
reside. AT that time the Tnompsons
sought to have the property partition
ed. The Carrs purchased the property
and the Thompsons were forced to va
cate. This was the beginning of the
trouble between the families. Thess
two circumstances are alleged by the
defence to have caused all the talk
against the defendants. The case will
30 to the jury not later than Wednes-
day.

ticable than the proposed fill, and
especially so If the scheme to make
park Of the Valley, were not realized.
Engineer Payne estimated that
viaduct from Main st. across, would
cost 100000. He would have 1t built
with double deck-the lower one for
street cars and the upper one for or
dinary travel. The street railway
people, he is sure, would pay a large
share Of the cost. Some time ago they
obtained estimates of the cost of a
viaduct for their own use, In round

WOMEN
May Vote In Primaries
Without Being Registered, But
Not In Regular Election.

1t is believed that the number of
women who win vote in the election
of School Board members this spring
will not bo greatly increased by rea-
son OF tho additions made to the citys
territory. For the benefit of those
ladies who may wish to vote, however
attention is called to the fact that
they may vote In the primaries with
out being registered. Before they
may vote in the regular election, how
ever, all must register.
OF the male voters only those who
have moved since registering last fall
and those who have never voted in
Akron before or failed to register last
fall, must reg stcr this spring.
