PURCHASE OF SCHOOL SITE.
Prof Stuart Makes Report on Senate
Bill $780,

A report on Senate bill 1880 has been sub
mitted by Prof II. F. Stuart superintend-
ent of schools, to the District Commission
ers The bill provides for the purchase Of
land in Fort Reno subdivision as a site for
a coiored school building. The report states
that there are 112 pupils enrolled in the
Grant Road School, of whom Ss live at or
near Fort Reno and - east of the present
school house. While a school at Fort Reno
would no doubt be more convenient to the
ma ajority of pupils now attending the Grant
Road School. Mr.. Stuart thinks that 1t
would add materially to the distance to be
travelled by the 20 living to the eastward,
for whom some provision would have to be
made.
Prof. Stuart sees no serious objection to
the purchase Of the ground proposed In this
bill and the erection OF the school house
thereon. provided the present valuable site
be retained by the District for public school
purposes in the future Commissioner Mac
farland has approved the report and has
forwarded the papers to his colleagues.

Columbus, April 10.-Barbara Bolton,
the unfortunate woman who was trans
ferred from the Columbiana county in
firmary to the Massillon state hospital
by special resolution, introduced in
the house by Representative Crist, of
Columbiana, is to be returned to Eng

alien she will have to go back to the
country where she came from.
Mrs. Bolton fed to this country from
England little over six months ago
to escape from a brutal husband, and
located at East Liverpool, where her
brother resides. Six months after her
arrival, as result of the cruel treat
ment of her husband, she became in
sane. She was taken to the infirmary,
but in the absence of proper facilities
she could not be given proper treat
ment so the legislature was petitioned
to send her to the, MassillOn hosp.ta
Inspector Smiley has been comforting
with the White Star line, which
brought the woman to this country,
and the company has agreed to take
her back. She will be taken to New
York on Friday and will be conveyed
home on the first outgoing steamer.

Bowling Green. April 1O--Charles
Bryner, aged IL years, residing near
here, attempted to poison whole fam
lily and his old grandmother In par

1t did not work. The grandmother is
critically i'll, as she had swallowed
quite portion of the coffee before be-
ing taken sick.

200 AMENDMENTS
TO CITY CODE BILL
Most OF Them Were Fathered
BY Corporation lawyers--
8iii Hardly Recognizabie.

Columbus. April 10.--The municipal
code BILL as originally drawn by
Judges Pugh and Kibler. was an ad-
vanced document. 1t sought to protect
the people of the larger cities from
public service corporations.
II opened the way. for the munici-
pal ownership of street railways, by
an express provision for such lines.
1t made IL much easier for a city to
establish public ownership gas and
electric light plants. 1t provided a
referendum vote for the extension of
street railway franchises.
These concessions to the people will
not be found in the code bill which Is
to come to vote in the house, Thurs
day. They have been knocked out by
the committee, in nearly all cases on
the advice of corporation lawyers.
Over 200 amendments have been
sandwiched into the bill by the com.
mittee and subcommittee on municipal
affairs. The most important were
drawn by the lawyers who represent
the big corporations.
Ex-senator Jas. r. Garfield, of
Cleveland. was instrumental in the
drawing of the original code bill and
favored the stringent regulations pro-
vided for the public service corpora
tions. He says that the committee has
substituted practically existing laws
for the more advanced ones. Garfield
says. however. that he consented to
the changes in order to save the CEN
trail idea of the code-a uniform sys-
tenn of government for Ohio munich
palities. N we get this, the other
things will come in time says Gar
field.

The present salary paid a common
pleas Judge in this and all other coun-
ties operating under the general law is
s2,500 a year. In some counties the
salaries have been raised by special
acts such as that introduced ~ Repre-
sentative Pollock.
There is some dispute as to whether
or not this will become operative dur
ing the present terms or the incum-
bents. The constitution of the state
provides that no officers salary can be
reduced during term to which he has
been elected, but says nothing about
the matter of an increase.
The bill will affect Judges Harter,
Amber and Holl, who are in the first
subdivision of the Ninth judicial dis
trict. The increase will make little
difference to the taxpayers of Stark
county, as the judges are paid by the
state.
For number of years 1t has been
claimed that common pleas judges
have not been paid salaries commensu-
rate with the ability necessary for the
position. Many judges have resigned
from the bench for the reason that
they claimed the salary was not any
thing like as large rs they could earn
in their general practice. Many attor.
neys of high rank, have refused to run
for the place for the reason that the
salary was not sufficient. Advocates
Of the increased salary bill took the
ground that better class of men could
be secured with the increased compen-
sation. .r.

Nevada, Mo. July 30.-United States
Senator j. r. Burton Of Kansas was
here today, visiting J. II. Kelley and
Prof s. A. Weltmen While in the
city the Republican correspondent had
an interview with him.
Senator, what will be the issues
in 19O4?'
1T is impossible TO tell what the is
sues will be- There can be no issue
until one party takes one side OF
question and the other party takes
the opposite side. The Philippine
question is an issue. The democrats
are against our Philippine bill and are
against the policies we have inaugu-
rated in the islands That is about
the only issue"
What about the money question?
VIII the tariff be an issue?"
NO. | think not. The tariff ques-
tion is settled. There ought not to
be any disturbance caused by tariff
issues as long as business interests
are as good as they are now"
THE trust question, senator?"
Very doubtful. Precisely speaking,
there are no trusts The large cor
porations Of capital are individual.
single businesses. Take for instance
the United States Steel company.
That is not a trust. but a large cor
poration. President Roosevelt is in
earnest when he says the trusts shall
obey the law and not the law obey the
trusts"
will there be an extra session of
congress to pass a Cuban reciprocity
bm?"
NO. There viii be no extra session
of congress. The Cuban question is
not an issue. II is entirely within the
republican party in regard TO the reci.
procal measures. Democrats favor
free trade. Tariff reduction for Cuba
is for republicans TO settle An at.

Roosevelt will be the nominee
Yes. Kansas is for Roosevelt. He has
hold on the American people and !
think he will maintain IT,"
