awards from their attorneys. The
! first awards become payable on Au-
! gust 5, but they claim the Territorial
/ Treasury has no funds to meet these
| warrants. They sounded each of the
banks, which refused to negotiate The
paper, stating that there was no telling
when the Government would be in con-
| troll of sufficient funds to take up the
warrants. The committee fears that a
number of the ignorant Japanese claim
ants would be inclined to dispose OF
their warrants for a song, If they could
get ready cash for them, as they have
been patiently waiting for two years
for the cash. There is a large amount
of expense entered into by the COM
mittee, which has also to be consid-
cred in connection with it's work before
the commission, and they are not dis
posed to have this placed In the profit
and loss column.
In no case, however. will the war
rants be touched by the committee or
the claimants.
This decision has been reached af-
ter number of meetings and after
discussing the matter with the Jap
anese business community.
Several store keepers have been fore
ed into bankruptcy by their failure to
nonsettlement of their fire claims and
others are shaking. SO it is said Had
they been in possession of the money
they could have continued on n their
business and settled many enbarras-
sing debts. AS ii is, there has been a
feeling of general insecurity amongst
them. individuals have also been hard
hit. The amount of the claims made
was in the neighborhood of $500 600, and
the awards are close TO $3.50, ,OOO With
this money in their hands within the
coming year the Japanese would be in
excellent financial condition. Other
wise it is feared that others may GO
to the wall. In order to save their
community from financial disaster as
this, the Consul and the committee of
thirty arrived at the decision to ap- =

COMMISSION
To Arrange For Ohio's Centennial
Must Settle a Dispute.

Columbus, O., June 20.-Gov. Nash
yesterday appointed the commission
to assist the Ohio Archaeological and
Historical society In conducting the
centennial celebration of the admis-
sion of Ohio into the Union as State.
The commission is provided for by an
act of the last General Assembly and
the appointments are purely honorary,
there being no compensation whatever
connected with the positions. The
commission is composed Of James Bar
nett. Cleveland J. Warren Kiefer,
Springfield: Rush r. Sloan, Sandus-
ky; r. b. Cowen, Cincinnati; Davis
S. Gray, Columbus; George w. Nc
Cook, Steubenville: Charles NJ. An
derson. Granville There is quite a
dispute over the exact date on which
the celebra tion is to be held. The
first constitution of the State was
ratified Nov. 20. 1902; the Congress
on Feb. II. 1903. passed an act erect
ing the State of Ohio into federal
judicial district and provided for the
appointment of District Judge, this
being the first recognition given the
State by the Congress; the first State
Legislature met March I. 1903. The
Archaeological and Historical society
favors March | and it is probable that
the celebration will be held ON that
day in Chillicothe.

ON THE SPOT
Dogs and Ponies Have
Arrived.
Gentry Show Gave a First Glass
Parade.

Gentry Bros dog and pony show
arrived in the city this morning and
will give two performances at Main
and South SITS. this afternoon and
evening.
The parade at noon was one of the
most interesting and attractive of the
season and gave good suggestion Of
the scope Of the performance which
will delight the audiences this after
noon and tonight.
No aggregation on the road has a
cleaner or more instructive production
than Gentry Bros. They have, appear
ed in Akron before and made de-
cidedly favorable impression.
Unlike the average tented, attrac.
ton. the Gentry shows have no fea-
lures which are not of thoroughly
moral and enlightening character and
they present an attraction which ap.
peals equally to the worldly and re-
ligious elements. The prices of admis.
sion are nominal. and this feature ma
turally contributes to the popularity
of the shows.
Nothing appeals more to human in
terest than the intelligence Of dumb
brutes. especially the dogs and ponies,
for which every one has natural
attachment, and observation proyes
that. for perfection of training, the
well-groomed animals of the Gentry
aggregation have no successful rivals.
The wonderful feats performed sur
prise even the most incredulous, and
are monuments to the skill and pa.
thence Of the trainers who have brought
the native intelligence of these dumb
animals to such perfection
Among the new and original fea-
lures to be introduced here are the
Yamada troupe of Japanese perform
ers, six in number, the juvenile Rough
Riders from Guadalajara Mexico, and
the monkey aerial performers.
Another new feature is the bsby
calliope. 1t was made at Cincinnati
at a cost Of $500 and is played by
Eddie Day, who is said to be one of
the finest performers in the country.

UNITED STATES.
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Not . Recent Development, but
Steady Growth of Years.


In appearance the demand for high
way Improvement is a sudden develop
mcnt, but in reality it is the manifesto
ton that is sudden, says the New York
Tribune in recent editorial. Forces
of which the work is now visible have
been in steady operation for years, and
the result suggests the analogy of wa
ter on the verge of boiling, which gives
only slight indications of what has
been going on below the surface.
The passage of the Higbie- Armstrong
act, under which the reconstruction Of
public roads Is proceeding in this state,
was not responsive to a strong general
demand. In the view of many mem
bers of the legislature who voted for
the measure it WIS conceded rather to
the opportunities Ct a few individuals
whose good intentions were recognized,
but whose practical wisdom was doubt
ed. Even its most earnest advocates
were not prepared to see its utility so
quickly vindicated by local applications
far outrunning the state appropriation.
The simple explanation of the steady
and rapid advance of the good roads
cause is, as we have repeatedly said,
that the proof of its right to prevail is
absolutely convincing wherever it is
practically presented. There is moth
ing to be said on the other side to
which man thinks it worth while to
listen who has once driven a loaded
vehicle over road converted within
his observation from a bad to a good
condition. For him The demonstration
is complete, and he forthwith becomes
an apostle. Such is the universal and
unbroken experience. 1t is a remark
able fact that the movement has never
received setback anywhere. 1t has
inevitably gone forward from n small
beginning more rapidly in some lOcali-
ties than in others, but it has not retro
graded in a single instance.
