REAL TREAT
Lovers Lane" Drew a
Fine Audience.
Good Presentation Of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" at the Grand.

When the curtain fell on the closing
scene of Lovers Lane" at the Colon
ial theatre Monday evening, a large
audience had seen first-class pro-
duction by first-class company.
Filled with wholesome comedy togetn-
er with few dashes of pathos,
Lovers Lane delighted from the
very beginning. The scenery was re-
markably beautiful The autumn ana
spring scenes in the third and fourth
acts respectively were as beautiful as
ever seen in this city. Mrs. Susan
Chisnell as Mrs. Hosea Brown, the
social leader of small Massachusetts
town, where billiard tables and dane
ing are looked ut in horror, made a
good impression. The seventeen local
youngsters who took part in the play
made great hit.

Played an Important Part
on Both Sides.
Vote on City Hall Site Shows Council
to be Equally Divided.

Another struggle over the question
of site for the new City Hall took
place Monday night in the Council
chamber-but the government at
Washington still lives. And the site
question is still unsettled, although
1t came so near to being settled that
everybody In the room held his breath
while the votes were being announced.
All OF the sixteen members Of Coun-
Gil were present, and 1t was observed
at the outset that strategy would be
an important feature in the contest.
The members of Council were equal
~ divided on the question, eight be-
ing In favor of the site at the corner
of Buchtel ave. and Main ST., the 9TH
or eight favoring the purchase Of the
Ferdinand Schumacher property, ON
High st., north Of the plant Of the
Akron Laundry Co.
Messrs. Sawyer and Rooms were the
spokeSmen for the side favoring the
High st. site, and they were given
considerable support by remarks of
Councilman Wilhelm against
taking the hall SO far south, even if
1t were believed wise to purchase a
site at this time. However, he be-
lieves that 1t would be better for the
city to let the hall question rest until
her finances are in better shape, or
as long as the present hall can be
rented at a rate as reasonable as that
now being charged. IL don't believe
1t is necessary to buy a site at this
time" he said. "The city does moi
need to 60 into real estate speculation
and 1t would be wrong to take the
hall SO far south, anyway. The wishes
of the business men ought to be consid.
cred, and they are almost unanimous
In opposing this site"
When the question fipst came up
Mr.. Sawyer presented motion that
1t be laid upon the table until the first
meeting in October. There was con
siderably more to this motion thar
appeared on the surface, as 1t is un
derstood that the option taken on the
property at the corner of Buchtel ave
and Main st. will expire by the first
Of October, and the first meeting In
the month will not be held until the
9Th.
~ don't like this way of doing bus
mess" said Mr.. Gauthier, who was
the spokesman for those favoring tn,
South Akron site. Let us decide Il
now, one way or the other" Their,
was also some hidden depth in thes,
statements, 1t was believed that tn,
lineup Of Council was stronger on tn,
side Of the South Akron site.
Mr., Sawyer anticipated this. "I
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1902-09-16

looks to me as If the South Akron
forces are here in fuller strength than
we are, and our side might not fare
as well In vote tonight as might be
the case If 1t were taken later. Be-
sides, l am told that there are other
sites that can be purchased much
cheaper, and this ought to cut great
figure with us at present. The South
Akron site will cost $3.50 foot front,
while the site we are considering can
be bought for $780,"
The motion to lay the matter on the
table was lost, and President Seidell
so declared it. This forced the situa-
ton to contest, but there were more
arguments, and finally there was
talk of appealing from the decision
Of the chair.
The play throughout had been watch
ed carefully by Mr.. John l.. Skunk,
of East Akron, and he couldn't resist
an inclination to rise to his feet and
criticise the City Fathers for what
he regarded as woeful lack of observ-
ance Of parliamentary rules After
ward, he remarked that he arose, be-
cause he observed that Mr.. Sawyer
and his force had discussed their whole
side, right in the faces of their oppon-
ents, under the pretext of laying the
matter on the table, or appealing from
the decision of the chair. This gave them
the advantage of having their side
presented before it actually came up
for regular discussion-in other words
doubleshot at the South Akron
| forces. 1t then became necessary to
vote on whether the decision of the
| chair would he sustained. 1t was,
and Council prepared to vote on the
original proposition, to express "a de-
sire to buy the site" at the corner of
Buchtel and Main.
This was met by the offering of an
amendment by Mr.. Koons. The
amendment proposed the purchase Of
the High st. site, for $1O,64O The
property has frontage of 100 feet
on High st. The site at the corner
of Buchtel and Main would cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000. The vote
on the amendment follows Ayes
Amundson, Hill, Koons, Manderbach,
Rice, Sawyer, Shook, Wilhelm. Nays
Gauthier, Jacobs, Martin, Merz, Piske,
Seidell, Warner, Ormes.
Mr.. Wilhelm's vote in favor of the
amendment aroused Mr.. Gauthier He
declared 1t a flagrant example of in
consistency, after the statements made
by Mr.. Wilhelm that 1t was unneces-
sary for the city to buy site at this
time.
To this Mr. Wilhelm replied that
he was honest in expressing belief
that site should not be bought now.
but that since Council had decided to
go ahead and vote on the proposition,
he felt 1t to be his duty to vote for the
site he regarded as best, If the ma
Jority OF the members believe one
ought to be bought.
The amendment was declared lost
by reason of the tie vote, and the
original proposition was taken up
The vote on this also resulted in a tie,
those who voted against the amend.
ment voting In favor of the original
proposition and those who voted In
favor Of the amendment voting against
the Buchtel and Main site.
1t is believed the question will be
revived ut the next meeting, and q
large crowd is expected to be present
The lobby wns fairly we'll filled Mon
day evening.

SCHLEYS APPEAL TO PRESIDENT ASKS
APPROVAL OF DEWEYS DECISION

finding and an opinion from the ma
jOrity members as well as from the
minority member of the court, and
your petitioner respectfully requests
that the said argument and resume of
testimony (Which are attached hereto
and marked "exhibit Al be considered
as a part OF his petition, and as the
basis for his prayer for relief in the
premises"
Therefore. the petition asks the pres
ident to annul Secretary Longs en-
dorsement on this point, and that he
specially approve Admiral DeWey's
statement declaring that Schley was in
command. He says that only in this
way can justice be done him under the
precept.
1t is reiterated that the majority re-
jected all ofaSchley's testimony and Oh
his witnesses. though he was on me
stand for many hours, and subjected to
the most searching examination, and
by so doing they have perverted the
ends of justice" 1t is finally stated:
That If this testimony was all false.
they should have so announced and if
all or any part of ii was true, the said
applicant was entitled to the benefit Of
1t, and by declining to consider or
pass upon it they have deprived him
OF his common law and constitutional
rights"
The argument contends that whereas
the commander in chief could not and
old not exercise command over the
squadron at any time during the actual
conflict Commodore Schley, as second in
command of the American forces. before
Santiago and as senior line officer on the
spot during every moment OF actual bat
tie. could and did exercise authority and
command over the American forces ac-
tually engaged.
