Chief Prefers Charges Against
tho Prison keeper--Troub'e
OF Long Standing.

Akron, O., Dec. 6. - Trouble which
has been brewing in the police depart
ment for several years eliminated yes
terday in the fling of charges against
Pr!sCnkeeper John E. Washer by
Chief Of Police Durkin.
Washer was formerly city detective
but hss been shorn completely of mis-
power and has been prevented by the
chief from doing any other work than
that of taking care of prisoners. Two
years ago charges were preferre
against Washer but after hearing be
fore the board of city commissioners
he was acquitted. Since then there has
been strife between Washer and his
friends and Chief Durkin, and those
who think with him.
The charges filed accuse Washer Of
1eglecting his duties, citing specitical-
1y the case of John L. Moraland, who
was brought into the city prison las.
Wednesday night. Moraland was sup
posed to be drunk, but after some
hours it was discovered that he was
suffering from a fractured skull. Dur
kin says that this was the fault of
the prisonkeeper
Washer was to have had hearing
before the commissioners, but on ap-
plicaticn Of his attorneys the matter
was continued until Saturday morning.

MORNING BLAZE
DESTROYS PLANT
At MASS|LLON
Factory of Brown lum
Der Company Re-
duced to Ashes.
The Loss Will EXCEED $4,000.

Fire at an early hour this morning
totally destroyed the large box FAC
tory and the finishing rooms of the
Brown Lumber company's plant at
Massillon. The loss will probably
amount to over $4,000 materially
covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered about 3:15
o'clock by an employe at the Neal
mill who turned in the alarm. It's
origin is mystery.
1The fire broke out in the south room
Of the building which is two stories
high and is about 100 by 600 feet.
Practically the entire wooden struct-
yre was burned. The building is sur
rounded on three sides by lumber
sheds and great stacks OF lumber. The
fight of the firemen was centered on
saving the rest of the sheds and build
IL gs and the lumber in the yards. The
elements were much in favor Of a
successful fight, as but little or no
wind was blowing and the sheds and
riles of lumber were covered with
snow. This alone probably saved a
loss Of many times the actual loss of
the building and its contents.
Another part of the building was
used as the finishing room in which
were made window sash, doors, brack-
cts and all kinds of finely finished
work. Not only did the building con-
tain much of the finished product,
hut there were also thousands of feet
of fine lumber Probably the heaviest
of all the damage is the loss of the
machinery and tools. A few chests of
tools and few pieces of small ma
chinery were removed.
| A half dozen streams were played
vpon the flames until about six O'CLOCK
this morning when the fire was prac-
tically under control.
A rough estimate Of the loss to ma
chinery and tools is placed at $4,000
and the loss of the building and finish
ed products and lumber in stock some
where about $4,000. The loss is fair
ly well covered by insurance.
The Hess-Snyder company has offer
ed to the lumber company room in
its plant where some ordered work
can be finished. The tools and ma
Chinery saved were moved there this
morning.
1t is stated that the building will
be replaced and that work on It will
be begun as soon as possible.
