Decided Who Should
Build q Bridge.
SUMMIT AND STARK
Com m ssioners Toss . Quarter
In tho Air q ind Fate Def ides
the Point OF Dis
pute. -

The flip of coin decided which of
two county-line bridges the commits
sioners of Stark should build along the
Summit county line. The two boards
met at the bridge sites and as two
bridges were to be erected near each
other it was determined that each
county should build one, instead of
dividing up the cost of the two. AS
to how the decision was reached, the
Akron Beacon-J journal tells the fol-
lowing:
Heads l win and tails you lose" is
the basis on which the Summit county
and Stark county commissioners de-
cided upon the building of two bridges
over Nlnshillen creek on the county
line last week.
There were two bridges to be built,
one by Summit county and one by
Stark county. The commissioners
were in a ouandary as to how to decide
which bridge was to be built by this
county and which by Stark. No other
satisfactory mode OF settling the mat
ter could be thought of until Com
missioner Moore proposed to flip
coin. Heads took the east bridge and
tails the west.
Are the timers ready?" yelled Ref
cree Summer. the Stark county COM
missioner.
Aye" responded Timer Wagner.
"Are the starters ready?" shouted
Referee Summer again. Again came
an affirmative reply. this time from
Hawkins.
Go" said Starter Crawford from
Stark county
The coin was tipped high I'm the air
by the referee. While in the air the
head and tails were called.
Head" cried Commissioner Moore
fer Summit county.
Tail" shouted Commissioner Hill
for Stark county.
The six commissioners from the two
counties crowded eagerly around the
fateful quarter, lying in the road.
Heads it is." said Referee Summer.
Summit county will build the east
bridge"
The conditions at the points where
the bridges will be erected are very
peculiar. The county road follows the
dividing line between Stark and Sum-
NIT counties The Nimishillen creek
crosses the road twice within few
rods. The place is near the Comet
dam. The creek runs from, Summit
county over into Stark and. making
loop. runs back into Summit county.
crossing the road twice within a short
space and making II necessary for two
bridges. Summit county will build the
east and Stark county the west. The
decision was arrived at as above re-
lated. Stark county will erect a stone
bridge and Summit concrete. 1t is
said that the Summit commissioners
have the best of the bargain as the
foundations of the west bridge are In
very poor shape. while the east bridge
are in good condition.

8sverldse Attacked BY
Senator Bailey.
A ROW IN SENATE
Dissraossui Occurrences Short
y After Close Of Ses-
sion Monday At.
ternoon.

Washington, July 1.yAnother per-
sonal encounter between United States
senators occurred in, the senate cham
bsr late Monday afternoon. Senator
Bailey. of Texas. grabbed Senator
Beveridge, of Indiana, by the throat
with both hands and did his utmost to
throttle him.
Had 1t not been for the timely inter-
ference of Bernard Layton. assistant
sergeant-at-arms, the man who sepa-
rated Tillman and McIAurin. and
Senator Spooner he would probably
have done the Indiana senator great
bodily injury.
The affair is only less disgraceful
than that in which the South CaroliLa
senators INDUCED In that IL did not
occur while the senate was in session.
II was deliberate assault. made after
Bailey had thrice called upon Bever-
idge to withdraw language which deep
ly offended the Texan. 1t occurred just
after> the senate had finished am ex-
ecutive session. but before the doors,
which are kept closed ten minutes
after adjournment. had been opened.
IL say your remarks were Offensive
and ! wish you to withdraw them"
Eailey demanded. Senator Beveridge
started to reply, when Bailey cut him
short with: II have asked you to
withdraw what you said Now, l tell
you that you must, and il you don't
Will not say what will do next. :"
Hardly were these words out of his
month when Bailey jumped at Bever-
fdge, grabbing him by the throat with
both hands. He shook Beveridge as
he held him. and there was consterna-
tion in the senate chamber Bailey is
a heavier man than Beveridge by SO
pounds. and Bcveridge had no chance
to reNist him. Layton rushed between
Bailey and Beveridge and broke Bal
ley's hOd on Beyeridge's throat. SEN
ator Spooner also rushed up and took
hold Of Bailey's arm and led him away.
II is stated this morning that Sem
ator bailey did not wish to have
personal encounter in the senate but
waited for Beveridge to go outside
where they could have it out. Bev-
eridge did not move quickly enough
and so Bailey made the attack. Mr..
Bailey says today that he does not
intend to apologize for his conduct.
He would rainier have the senate expel
him. he declares. IF 1 had so far for
gotten myself as to strike Mr.. Bower
idse in tho open senate would submit
to penalty but the senate was not in
session"

.BUY,REAL BUTTEROR
UNCOLOREDART|CLE
Consumers MayPay Their Mon
ey and Take Their Choice.-
Proceedings to bs lnsti-
tuted to NuIiify Law.

Tuesday the United States law for
bidding the sale of coiored oleomarga-
rine became operative and Canton
dealers all report that they have re-
fused to buy any more of the colored
stuff. One of the manufacturers of the
oleo. or butterine. as the dealers call
it. has informed his agents that pro.
ceedings will be instituted in the
United States courts to have the re-
Gently imposed tax knocked out on
constitutional grounds.
These proceedings are scheduled to
take place on Tuesday in Columbus,
the Capital City Dairy company being
the petitioner. l.. Henry. the agent
for this company in Canton. stated
Tuesday that these proceedings would
be started, as he had received infor-
nation from the company to that ef-
feet.
ONLY ONE S4S LICENSE.
In the meanwhile. but one grocer in
Canton has consented to take out the
&8 license issued by the government
for the sale of colored oleomargarine.
Tho Grout bill, which goes into effect
July /. imposes a tax of ten cents a
pound on colored oleo. while the un-
colored stuff is let off with one-Gourth
of cent pound.
The effect of this tax is to make the
sale Of the colOred oleo prohibitive,
while the price of the uncolored stuff
is reduced 1A of a cent pound. For
mer national taxation made a uniform
scale OF cents pound, drawing no
color limo in the legislation.
n1he immediate result of the raise
In price is obviously. to increase the
price of the colored oleo cents a
pound. or. ut retail, to jump the price
from 20 cents to 28 and 30 cents a
POUND. more than country and cream
cry butter sells for. On the other
hand uncolored will sell for less thar
20 cents pound.
MANY Sc LICENSES.
Under these conditions, but two deal
ers in Stark county, one in Canton
and the other in Massillon, have taken
out licenses to sell the colored article
The other dealers have generally
taken out the IS license to sell the
uncolOred oleo and have purchased it
in small consignments.
At the instigatiOn of the oleo man
ufacturers, all of the dealers. in pay
ing the tax have protested. against
the payment o: any tax for the privi-
lege of selling it. and in the legal ac-
ton in the United States courts which
is to be started Tuesday. it will be
claimed that the tax Is unconstitutional.
An effort is being made by the man
ufacturers to make the natural color
of the oleo assume q cream color In
order to remove the unsavory lard ap-
pearance from the product. This they
claim is the result of the natural in
gredient of the stuff and not from any
coloring matter that is placed in it.
