Akron. Jan. 26.-It is definitely un-
derstood that the Gould interests will
retire from active participation in the
Diamond Match company at the annu-
al meeting to be held next week In
Chicago. It is claimed that Gould will
remain friendly to the company. Ed

tically owned, but has now disposed OF

THE WEEK IN
THE SENATE
The Statehood Bill Holds Over and
Will be Bitterly Con-
tested.
SPECIAL ORDERS WILL TAKE time.

Washington, Jan. 26.--The feature OF
the week in the senate will he the con-
tinuation of the contest over the state
hood bill. The lines are now more
closely drawn than they have ever been
on this bill They are so taut that al,
onlookers realize that they are apt to
break before great while; but few
unpreJudiced persons would undertake
to say positively on which side the
disaster must be felt. The advocates
of statehood were much encouraged by
the vote of last week and, contending
that it has been demonstrated that
there is majority of the senate fav-
orable to the bill, they declare that it
is preposterous to ask them to yield
while the opposition urges that the
vote was not test at all and no real
indication of the attitude of the SEN
ate. They say that the bill is standing
in the way of other legislation and con-
tend that 1t must get out of the road
and remain out when appropriation
bills begin to press to tho front as
they will soon do. 1t is probable, how.
ever, that with some exceptional times
the bill will hold it's place in The front
ranks during the week.
There are several special orders for
the week, which will consume more or
less time and one of these will require
almost an entire day for its enforce
ment This is the memorial exercises
ordered for Friday "at the conclusion
of the morning business" in honor of
the memory of the late Senator Nc

cases the senate will adjourn after the

THE RAISE
IS COMING
Superintendent Tsussig Of Wheeling
Says Matter Has Been Prac-
tiCally Settled.
ANOTHER SESSION Sin PROGRESS.

The Wheeling officials and employees
entered into another session Monday
morning at Cleveland on the wage con-
troversy. Assistant Superintendent
VanDusen, of Canton, is in attendance.
Superintendent Taussig, in an inter-
view with News-Democrat reporter
Monday morning stated that 1t had
been practically settled that the wages
of the men were to be increased, but
the amount of the increase could not
be given out at present. 1t is gener-
ally understood that the increase will
be ten per cent.
The men included in the increase are
those whose wages were not raised last
spring, conductors, engineers, train
men, flremen, operators, agents, sta
tionmen and shopmen being among
those to be affected.
Superintendent Taussig ridiculed the
idea of strike on the road and de-
clared that the relations between the
company and the men are most pleas
ant, as has been the case for years.
The reason given for the increase is
in the general prosperity of the road
In which the company believes the men
should share. The men are elated over
the turn affairs have taken.
Asked as to the report of the COLI
solidation of the Ann Arbor, Wabash
and Wheeling. Mr., Taussig said that he
had received no definite Information
on the subject. which is wholly in the
hands Of the executive officers of the
roads concerned.

TO REGISTER
WEAPONSSOLD
A Society 10 Prevent the Carrying
Of Firearms is to be
Formed.
MOVEMENT on FOOT TO ORGANIZE.

A movement is on foot among
many of the well known people of
the city to organize society for the
prevention of the carrying of fire.
arms. Nothing definite mas been done
toward forming this organization. but
1t Is probable that they will be be-
fore long.
The promoters of this embryo So
clety were aroused by the numerous
fatalities resulting from the promis-
cious carrying of firearms and have
laid down a plan wereby this list
could be materially lessened. This
plan would be 10 have all the hard
ware stores and places where fire.
arms are sold, keep register of all
the revolvers and guns they sell. to
whom they are sold and for what i'm
mediate purpose. Every day the en-
tries on this register should be hand
cd to the chief of police or mayor and
thus should weapons be sold to char
acters of doubtful repute they could be
put under the surveillance of officers.
The case of Melvin Smith was q
prinle factor in the agitation for this
soSie'y. Although there is an ordi-
nance against the carrying of fire.
arms II is a difficult one to enforce
for the reason that it is almost an i'm
possibility to know by whom they are
being carried
One of the main duties of the mem
bers of the society for the prevention
of carrying of firearms would be to
see that the law in regard to the car
rying of concealed weapons is en-
forced to its limit. Permits. however,
would be allowed to those persons
who find it absolutely necessary to
carry gun. There are many per-
sons, the nature of whose business,
makes 1t necessary for them to car
ry revolver.
One of the agitators of the society
speaking of the formation of the Or
ganization. said: Although we have
not taken definite steps to form this
Society / think that 1t will be done in
short time. OF all the organizations
for the protection of life and proper
ty none could act with better results
than this one Some persons say that
there Is no need for such a step: that
we have city ordinances to prevent
the carrying of concealed weapons.

retaliation for the expressed antipathy Of
the japanese to everything Russian. The
"Japs" had at once to secure fish from
elsewhere. ana we among others considered
It our opportunity todevelop that branch of
our business. Lares dry salter1es were es-
tablished on the coast Of Alaska, where we
put up the cheapest fish at ridiculous fig:
uree. The sales were at first satisfactory,
and then the "Japs. took it up. This sea-
