BROUGHT BAGGAGE
Some Witnesses in Robinson
Murder Trial Have Come to
iuea- Canton to Stay.

Massillon, July 17.-Canton is now
the mecca for the colored populat on
of Massillon. Since the opening OF
the Sarah Robinson murder trial many
colored people from other cities have
come to Massillon and Canton.
Many of them have beer subpoenaed
as witnesses for the defense. Several,
it is said, who at the coroner's inquest
testified for the state, have now been
called to testify for the defense. Mem
bers OF the local police de. artment
have also received summons.
The prospects for a long trial have
caused number of the colored wit
ncsses to secure locations in Canton,
where they will remain until the trial
is over and the verdict announced.

CUSTER
Proceedings Bro v 9 h t
Against the w. & L.
E.inToledo.

Toledo, o., July 17.-If the city wins
its suit in custer to be brought by the
city legal department against the
Wheeling G Lake Erie railway, the
latter will be forced to remove its
costly passenger depot from its pres
ent site and abandon all the valuable
Miami and Erie canal right of way
now occupied by the company.
The suit is to be brought at the Or
der Of the city council and action will
be based on the ground that the ordi-
nance granting the company permis-
sion to use the canal bed has been for
feited by alleged noncompliance with
its terms. The ordinance granting the
railway this particular right of way
was passed in 1881, on consideration
that the company, within a reason
able time, construct, maintain and
operate it's repair, machine and car
shops within the city limits. The COM
pany insists that it does maintain some
sort of repair shop on the east side.
Since 1881 the value of the land has
increased wonderfully.
The suit will be filed as soon as the
city engineer provides a blue print OF
the canal property.

MAYOR HOODWINKED
BY Clever Thief Who Posed as
Preacher-Offered Prayer
in Court.

Marietta, o., July 17.-Robert L..
Hickman, arrested on the charge of
horse-thieving, has apparently COM
pletely hoodwinked the officers here
He claimed he was a preacher, and
made such a manifestation of his faith
that the officers let him go. He
showed Bible and offered up prayer
in the hearing of the mayor, which
convinced all of his sincerity.
An hour after Hickman's release
messages came in to hold the man.
There is now evidence enough, it is
said, to file five penitentiary charges
against him, three for horse-stealing.
Hickman's house at Hockingport was
surrounded, but he had escaped on
horseback Two detectives are on his
trail. Hickman gave many aliases to
different parties.

Buchanan was as arrant iilibuster

He attempted TO steal Mexico, Central
America, Cuba and New Granada,

pudcnce to ask congress to be allowed
to use the United States army in fill

had his way he would have sad led

That Walter said she was too black

Afterwards he heard her talk to
others when she made similar admis-

AN EYE WITNESS.
Daniel Epps, a colored man of New
comerstown, was in the saloon at the
time of the shooting. He did not see
it, but at the report turned around
and saw Sarah Robinson with the
smoking revolver in her hand. She
dropped 1t and ran. Epps picked up
the weapon and later turned it over
to an officer.
At the shot McNair fell. He got up
and said he was shot. walked around
from behind the counter and fell
again. Epps identified the revolver
as one belonging to McNair.
On cross-examination Epps was not
moved from his statements. The only
thing he hesitated to tell was that
he had been in the workhouse before
going to Massilon. Attorney Shelter
did the crosse examining and under the
fire Of personal questions Epps lost
his temper.
Court adjourned before the defense
was through asking questions. 1t
turned out that Epps had been wanted
by the defense as witness. 1t was
known that he was in the city, and

Total Value Of Steel
Trusts Property.
SCHWAB G|VESASSETS
In Answer Filed in SuitBrousht
Against the Corpora
tion by j. a.
Hodge.

Newark, N. j., July 16.-The ans
wer Of the United States Steel corpora
ton to the suit brought by J. Aspin-
wall Hodge, William II. Curtis and
Bernard Smith, who asked for an in
junction to prevent the company from
carrying out its bond conversion plan,
was filed yesterday before Vice Chan
cellor Emery. When the case came
up before the vice chancellor 1t was
put over until July 20.
The answer is sworn to by Charles
NJ. Schwab, as president. For the first
time since the organization of the
steel corporation a detailed state
ment Of the assets of the properties Of
the subsidiary companies is furnished.
These assets, it is stated, include AGO
producing mills of the value of $780,
900, 600: seventy-five blast furnaces of
the value of $4S,OOO,O00, iron and bes-
semer ore properties of the value of
100000 600, coal and coke properties
Of the value of 500 900, 900, natural
gas fields of the value of $4,000, 900
cash in bank to the amount of &c.,
100000 and over $4,000 900 of materi-
ais in process of manufacture.
The total value Of the company's
property, including cash and cash as
sets, is placed at s1,400,000 by Mr..
Schwab in an affidavit which is part
of the corporations reply.
The company's earnings are stated
to be at the rate of more than s140,-
100000 year. A saving of 100000
900 a year is credited to the ore prop
critics, and it is estimated that the
ownership Of transportation facilities
saves the company $10,000,000 annual
ly. The earnings Of the coal and coke
properties are stated to be more than
81 600 600 month.
These statements as to values and
earnings were presented to disprove
charge by the plaintiffs that Mr..
Schwab, the president, and Mr.. Trim
BILE, the secretary, made a false certi-
ficate when they credited that in their
judgment the properties were worth
at least the par value of the preferred
stock after deducing all Indebtedness.
The profits of the United States
Steel corporation" the plaintiff con-
tinues, could be reduced more than
seventy-fve per cent and there would
| still be ample funds TO pay the inter-
est and sinking funds upon the first
and second mortgage bonds. Instead
mated in the affidavit of Smith, there
is a margin of seventy-five per cent
before the solvenCy or financial abil-
ity Of the steel corporation can pos
sibly be questioned"

RESERVED DECISION
Test Case Of the BeaI Law

Steubcnville, O., July 1.-THE main
contention in circuit court in the test
case over the Beal local option law
was over the part which permits man
ufacturers in local option towns to
sell to those outside in quantities OF
not less than a gallon. Judge Cook
held this to be a sop to the brswerics
and discrimination againse the poo-
pie in local option towns. Attorney
Wheeler says the clause was not his
original clause and was inserted by
the legislators. Congressman Nevln
held where there was brewery In q
local option town the people in town
could not buy there, bun tho people
outside could. Decision reserved for
two weeks.

FREAK CALF
This Curiosity Is Hairless.

Newark, o., July 17.-Charles H..
Anderson, near Frazeysburg, owns a
bald calf which is attracting hundreds
of people to his farm.
Mr.. Anderson says the calf now
two months old, is thoroughbred
shorthorn heifer and that it has been
bald from the day of its birth. With
the exception of little tuft of hair on
each ear, a bit at the end of it's tail
and little hair on each leg below the
knee, the animal is wholly devoid
of hair and it is a curiosity which has
prompted many fattering offers for its
purchase.
The calf is of the usual size and Is
as sound as any animal, Its flesh looks
like that Of a new born baby.

To be Given Vatican to
Consider
TAFT'S PROPOSALS
For the Disposal Of Friar Lands
In the Phiiippines--DeaI is
Practically Aban-
doned.

Washington, July 17.-In six days
Gov. Taft will sail from Italy, iesum-
ing his journey to Manila If the vat
lean by that date has concluded 10 ac-
cept the terms respecting the sale OF
the friars' lands and the withdrawal
of the friars themselves from the
Philippines the papers will be signed
by Gov. Taft and the arrangement will
be regarded as closed. If, on the other
hand, the cardinals committee which
is dealing with this important matter
is unable to accept the terms proffered,
or IL 1t is not prepared to make final
answer, the governor will still proceed
on his way and the negotiations will
be suspended. This decision on the
part of Secretary Root probably is the
most important outcome of his recent
trip to Oyster Bay, where the subject
was discussed with the president.
lit does not follow that Governor
Taft's resumption of his Journey with
out signing the papers of sale and
withdrawal means the absolute aban-
donment OF the negotiations on those
points. Technically they will be re-
garded as merely suspended and SO
open to resumption at any moment
when either of the principals has had
a change Of mind sufficient to warrant
a new proposition.
Meanwhile there will be no change
Of the status of the friars' orders in
the Philippines; their lands will re-
main in the possession of the insular
government and the several hundred
friars who are tarrying in Manila as
charity charges upon other branches
of the church probably will remain
here or gradually find their way to
another country. 1t is regarded as cer-
tain by the administration that they
will not undertake to return to their
individual parishes in the Philippines
for there is not sufficient power in the
insular government to protect their
lives from the natives, and being duly
warned of the danger it is believed
that ahe local government will have
thus relieved itself from responsibility
II they attempt to return.
