3 - BARBER7ON 5:
CAUSED A STIR.
COunCiIman's Allegation Has Created
Sensation I'm BdrbertOn.

Barberton, July 31.-The story told
by a Barberton Councilman of wide
open saloons at o'clock, Sunday
morning, published exclusively in
Wednesdays Democrat, created
great sensation in the Magic City and
as result an investigation of the po-
lice force will be made.
Said Mayor Il. M. Buel: "The
Councilman who saw the state Of af-
fairs reported in the Democrat was
very remiss in his duty when he failed
to report the matter to the Mayor on
Monday morning and have the delin-
quents arrested. am doing my best
to enforce the saloon ordinance but 1t
can scarcely be said to be my duty
to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning
and make a personal investigation
to see If saloons are closed or not.
officers Swasick and Boerstler have
charge of the down town district and
will make thorough investigation
to see if they are performing their
duties as they should For the rest it
is my opinion that the Councilman
who claimed to have found such a
state Of affairs and failed to report it
to the proper authorities was only try
ing to act smart and was remiss in his
duty"
Said Solicitor e. F. Baker: "Wheth-
er such state of affairs existed in
Barberton Sunday or not, l do not
know. l was out of town on that day.
If the Councilman, however, VIII
stand by what he says and swear out
a warrant against those saloonkeepers
| will prosecute them"

BECAME PENNIES
When Sharper Had Finished His
Juggling Act.

Boston, July 31-The'story of a bun
co game in which the vicrim lost $500
was told in police court here, and
Frank Bernstein was held by the
Grand Jury ON the charge of larceny
of 500 So gold coins on July 16 from
Barnard Bennett. 1t was in evidence
that Bennett was induced by Born

AS the accusation made touches the
police force and is reflection either
upon it's integrity or its efficiency,
Marshal Ferguson felt the matter
keenly. II don't believe a word of
it." said he. Il have every confidence
in the officers and don't believe it
possible for such a state of affairs
to exist. If Councilman saw the
things reported in the Democrat, why
didn't he report it to the proper au-
thoritles? OF this am sure, the police
officers are doing the best they can"
Officer Boerstler, whose beat is upon
Second ST., said 81 am confident
there were no saloons doing business
at o'clock Sunday morning, on my
beat.
Il am told that two or three saloon
keepers left the city on an excursion,
Sunday morning, taking o'clock
train. These men acknowledge being
In their saloons about o'clock, Sun
day morning, but claim that as they
expected to be gone all day it was
necessary to put additional ice in their
coolers and that this is what they were
doing In their saloons at that hour. l
wish also that you would state that
but one man was arrested for intox-
ication in this city Sunday and he
was found in West Barberton."
The Councilman who made the
charges published says that he did
not report the matter to the author
ities on Monday because he wished to
make another investigator next Sun
day, taking another with him so that
he would have proof of his accusa-
tions

The South Ends beat the Niagaras
In a great contest at Silver lake We'd.
nesday at the Cheyalier picnic by
score of 10 to 9. With the score TO D
against them and two men down in the
last inning, the South Ends chance OF
winning the game were about as good
as those of a rank outsider to beat the
they surprised the talent and batted
out victory, which came about in
this manner: Cans was Lit on the
finger by foul tip and forced to leave
the game. 1t was the SECOND time dur,
ing the game that he had been hit and
both times the mischief was caused
by foul tips from Bedur's bat Kos
such went behind the bat and Kroh-
mer, of the East Ends, who had been
umpiring, played with the Niagaras,
and Place, of the Chevaliers, became
the Man In Authority. The forced re-
tirement of Cans from the game un-
strung Watts and the South Ends bat
ted In fve runs, cinching the game.
Stone twirled for the South Ends and
the game was most exciting contest.
ARE IN FAVOR OF THE CHANGE.
There is strong sentiment among
the teams of the city league in favor
OF taking the East Ends into that or
ganizatlon, Players and management
are agreed that the change would
swell the receipts at City league
Rnines, for the Fast Ends have strong
following, and while they have been
playing independently they have been
more or less unfortunate In their
matches. Players who were talked to
about the matter during the last few
days are al!insiavor of the change, and
II is believed that 1t will be brought
about in n short time unless some I'M
Ipreseen obstacle occurs.

games of the kind drew well, and pro-
vided double the usual entertainment
for one price of admission, and the
lengue will probably continue this
form of Saturday games. The series
with Kent will also be taken up again
in short time, and an effort made to
beat the strong Portage county team
few more times before the season
ends.
These games will be played We'd
nesday at Buchtel field. Silver lake
has now been definitely abandoned
as base ball arena by the league. The
governors say that they were unable
to induce the management of the
grounds to make any improvements,
hence the decision to stop playing
there.
The strong All-Cubans will play
picked teams August 4 and 5, and
taken all in ALL the league has a good
variety of sport to offer for the near
| future.

playing in the field. Up to the ninth
inning Curtis had not given Geneva
n hit. Ashtabula had two men out in
the last half Of the ninth when Coyle
for Geneva made single. Coyle led
off from first ana Curtis threw to
first to catch him off. AS Curtis
threw Coyle dove for the bag and the
ball struck him a glancing blow on

Tariff duties on food, as a means OF

Tariff duties on food, as means OF
raising revenues for the war, are exciting
much feeling in England, fears OF re-
yiyal of old-fashicned protectionism be-
ing freely expressed. This agitation has
made an opportunity for the British ad-
vocates of land value taxation, known
better as "the single tax" to attract at
tention generally to their reform. The
London cable dispatches of the 9th note
the fact that a letter from Mayor John
son, of Cleveland, Ohio, is being extern
sively circulated from London, in which
Mr.. johnson encourages the movement.
"New life and strength" reads one OF
the press dispatches, "have been given
the single tax movement in England by
the constantly increasing revenues OF the
country, due in SO large measure to the
taxation upon private Incomes"

ABEL WEAkENS.
Exposed in the Herald, Tie Dismisses Cast
AGAINST Olympus Theater.

The statement in the last issue OF the
HERALD, that Attorney Abel was, in all
probability, out with the "big nit" H.
the case against the Olympus theater'
appears to have been substantiated by
the outcome of the case in Judge Mullen's
court this morning.
S. C. Coleman, who was under $5Oc
bail to appear, was on hand, but thu
prosecution fell down. and we haye ii
from Mr.. Coleman that h. would see
South Africa froze over before he would
cough up bean to Abel, so that it be-
gins to lock as though the county would
be let in for bill of costs through the
inability OF Abel to make his scheme
work.
When the case was called letter was
read from Abel moving the court to dis
miss on the part OF his stool pigeon, the
complaining witness, and the court had
nothing else to do, albeit, the judge is
earnestly examining the statutes to see II
he cannot commit the stool pigeon com
plainant to Jail, in default OF the costs
which otherwise fall on the county.

Owing to the downward tendency OF
the shingle market, the Washington Red
Cedar Shingle Manufacture g Association
has ordered a shutdown of the 300 shin
gle mills of the state, beginning Satur-
day, and to last for two weeks. The re-
plies received so far indicate that the
closing will be one of the best in years,
according to advance sheets of the Pa
cific Lumber Trade Journal.
At meeting Of the forty shingle man
fractures OF Whatcom county, at What
com, May u, the following resolutions
were adopted:

Two bids were received by the athletic

Friday afternoon, and were both turned
down. A site was offered on the Hoquiam

location near Jas. Stewart home was
offered for $1,000, but some other prop

SIGNIFICANT FACTS.

The Chicago Record-Herald says
..Tbere will be nothing but hearty APP
proval throughout Il e country OF the
action Of the Danish Rigsdag in making
the ratification of the cession OF the
Danish West Indian islands conditional
rpon the consent OF the inhabitants OF
those islands. We have had enough OF
acquiring islands with an insurrectloh
thrown in to make us wary OF buying
sovereigntv over any people, however
.s,,ou their numbers, without securing
their consent to the transfer. The gooo
will of the inhabitants OF the DANISH
Isles is of more consequence to the Unit
ed States than the good title Denmark
can give and our 100000 can buy.
BESIDES. we will feel much more con-
tented with the bargain when it brings
us citizens by their own votes and not
cls,ttles by right OF bargain or sale'
How did it happen that the treaty-maK-
ing power in this country did not make
fine ratification conditional uron the
consent of the inhabitants of the islands,
Ia it not somewhat significant that the
principle of consent was recognized ny
the legislative body OF monarchy, when
that principle was wholly ignored by the
treaty-making power ola republic? asks
