up TO COUNCIL
To Decide Whether the Library
Be Free or Not.
Especial Correspondence.)

Barberton, Aug. 1S.-At meeting
of the Library Board Wednesday eve
ming the running expenses of the IL
brary were estimated at $500 a year.
and it was decided to ask the Coun-
ell for that amount at the meeting,
Monday right. The library cannot
be opened to the public until this
money,is forthcoming and unless it is
provided by the Council the reading
public would have to be taxed, which
would be in direct contradiction to
the plans of the donor. AS Barberton
Is already taxed TO the limit n special
tax cannot be levied and it will be
necessary TO borrow the money for the
first years expenses. The estimated
$500 Will cover salaries, magazine
subscriptions and all necessary ex,
penses.
AT this meeting the Board decided
TO place a railing between the reading
tables and book cases and no person
except the librarian or her assistants
viii be allowed inside the railing.

"WHlTEWASH"
Has Come Of That
Investigation.
Capt. Stiles Exonerate d From AL
Blame.

Columbus, o., Aug 1S.-Capt. Stiles,
superintendent of the Girls Industrial
Home. is exonerated from all blame
for the death of Norah Ferris, is the
report filed Saturday with Gov. Nash.
This report was signed by majority
of the board, consisting of the old
members, who have been associated
with the superintendent in the conduct
of the Home. The two new members,
Frank Hubbard and George b. Chris
tian, refused to sign the report.
The report is complete whitewash.
Gov. Nash declined to discuss it until
he had read it, but it is plain to all
observers that he was displeased at
it's tenor.
The Governor when he sent to the
Board of Trustees Of the Delaware
Home the report of the State Board
of Charities. was so much impressed
with the seriousness of the case that
he also sent copy to the Attorney
General with suggestions that crimi'
nal prosecutions be instituted, and
now the trustees report that there was
nothing wrong.
The trustees lay great stress upor
the bad character of the girls commit
ted to the institution, and Suggest
that the State Board of Charities over
steps the mark when it considers these
girls should be handled as other chill
dren.
The board pays high compliment
to Supt, Stiles and his faithful wife
for hard and earnest service, and say
that they have both suffered beyon'
measure because of the investigation
and publication of the testimony.
The report aside from the review o
the report sent to the trustees by tn
Governor, is very short and is simpl,
to the effect that while two doctor
say they do not believe Nora Ferri
died with heart disease, two other
say she did, and while the Board O
lCharities heard the evidence, the trus

Sentences For Two
Men.
Stole Shoes From Bar
berton Merchants.
The Mayor Permitted No Condi'
tional Pleas.

George Mcknight and James
Wright. accused and found guilty of
stealing shoes from w. A. Straub, and
Helpers Sample shoe store at Bar
berton were given record-breaking
sentences in Police court Monday
morning, 5000 and costs and 80 days
being imposed by the Mayor in each
case. The men were arrested at Bar
berton last week, and at first pleaded
not guilty. They were brought here
for trial, as they had disposed Of sew
eral pairs of the stolen shoes in East
Akron.
When first arraigned, both the men
said that they had come here from
Waynesburg. Pa, and they gave the
names of a number of people with
whom they said they were acquainted
at Waynesburg. Chief Durkin imme-
diately wrote the Chief of Police of
that place, and an answer, which was
received Monday morning, stated that
not one of the people whose names
Mcknight and Wright mentioned live
there.
A horse and buggy with which the
two have been travelling about the
country is also the subject of good
deal of speculation on the part of the
Akron police, who believe that it was
stolen.
When the case came to trial Monday
morning, Mcknight, the older of the
| two men, changed his plea to guilty
and indicated that he wished to take
all the blame and so release his com
panion, but the Mayor would permit
no conditional plea, and the cases
were heard in the ordinary way
Wright was quickly found guilty ant
the men were then sentenced. Strauf
and Helper appeared and testified
against them.
The police say that these two mel

NIAGARAS
Beat the Com
! bined Teams.
A Game That Was Full
of Features.
The Billiard Tournament Now In
Full Blast.

The game at Buchtel field Satur-
day savored Of homeopathy and then
agnin 1t did not The homeopathy was
found in the fact that Allen and
Watts of the Niagaras played with
the aggregation that did battle with
the Niagaras. The non-homeopathy
came in the fact that three South
End players and four North Enders
constituted the remainder of the
team.
Despite the fact that the Niagaras
did battle with team that was com
posed of several City league national
tiles the spectators were satisfied and
good game of ball was played, al
though the official score keeper was
kept busy chalking up errors.
Kittinger was in fine form and won
the first gone on Buchtel field this
season. Now that his hoodoo has been
broken il is an assured thing that he
will make some of the visiting teams
that come here to play the All Ak
rons look like Lilliputians at the bat
1t has taken a long while for kit
to round into form, but he Is there
now and can send up slow one as
easily and gracefully as the speedy
ones.

when he saw the checkered look OF

their averages, while Limric made
sport of Kittinger, sending one ovel

LAID
Cornerstone of
Church.
Second Baptist People
Remodelins Edifice.
Congregation Now Numbers
Nearly Hundred.

Ten years ago little company of
colored people organized Baptist
church in this city and purchased the
old United Brethren church edifice,
corner James and Hill sts., $1,000 be"
ing the purchase price. The congrega-
ton prospered and grew until now
there is membership Of 75 persons.
Lately it was decided to remodel
the church structure and the corner
stone for the improved building was
laid Sunday afternoon, at 2:30
o'clock. The service was conducted
by Rev. J. H. Palmer, assistant pas.
tor of the First Baptist church. After
music and other appropriate exercises
Rev. Palmer preached an excellent
sermon on the Growth of Strength"
Said he in part:
you already have great deal of
strength for this temple. You are
Hclc tOudy " gam lChOWCo ptiChSti
for its strengthening and upbuilding.
To be strong is the poetry of youth.
The young men love to tell of what
they can do; the old men of what they
have done. You have done grandly--
but it will be grander when you fin
ish this church. You've just begun to
| raise money and you'll have to keep
on until you die, and the more money
you raise and the harder you work
the more you will love God and the
stronger you will be. Some say the
world is growing worse. don't be-
lieve the world is worse than. it used to
be. A century ago we had one church
of kind, now we have four of a
kind here People can't be growing
worse in Akron. We are under separ-
ate names, but we are all in search of
the same Christ. Some OF you fear
Christianity is growing cold. Some of
you men have a tiff with your wives
occasionally, don't you? What do you
do then? l know what you ought to
do. You ought to say: Wife, 1 was
wrong; let's begin over again. That
is what you should do with God.
"Some of you look to see how your
preacher or your deacon walk, and
sometimes they walk very staggering
ly. You should trust In your own
strength and that of the Lord and be
yourself, not copy of someone else.
We should not walk by sight, but by
faith. We ought not only to sing but
to give, and we should give before we
pray lest If we pray first we forget
to give. l rejoice with you in what
you have accomplished and trust you
will accomplish as much spiritually"
After the sermon, with appropriate
exercises, the cornerstone was laid
and sealed.
The new church will cost $14O0 and
that money is all to be raised except
the portion that was donated Sunday.
The money raised for the church
debt at the service, Sunday, amounted
to sos, and was apportioned to the
various clubs as follows: Married La
dies, $3S; Young Ladies, $34; Married
Men, 500, Young Men, S14.
