The much discussed and long her.
aided mock trial of Jim Bernheimer
and Jerry Heingartner of banquet
fame will be held liz Eagles hall,
Thursday night. The affair out Of
which the controversy grew was a
banquet given some time ago. Burn
heimer was selected to act as toast
master. 1t is said that Heingartner,
instructed those who had been assign
ed toasts not to respond at the ap-
lurch. The latter gentleman was foxy,
however, and receiving an inkling Of
the state of affairs failed to put in an
appearance. A hearing was held at
which the charge of "intimidating a
toastmaster and preventing him from
performing his duty" was placed
against Heingartner and that of 'in-
subordination" against Burnheimer.
They were each placed under bond of

IRON WORK DELAYS
THE AUDITORIUM

Unless more haste is made by the
structural iron workers on the new
market house and auditorium the COM
pletion of that building will be de-
layed until next May or June. For
nine weeks these men have labored
and have succeeded in getting but two
of the nine trusses partially complet-
ed. The end of 1903 was to have seen
the building In readiness for the ded-
icatory services.
When asked concerning the prob
able date when the auditorium will be
turned over to the city. Contractor
George Melbourne said: Had the iron
work been put in place with reason
able promptness we would have had
the building finished or nearly so by
this time. AS 1t is 1t will be next
summer before the sound Of the ham,
mer will cease. Everything is in read
mess to push the work as soon as the
trusses of the roof are in place."

MASS|LLON DOGS
Carried OFF the Honors
In Fox ChaSes at
ZOar.

The fox hunters at Zoar, being re-
luctant to leave such good sport, re-
mained until the close of the week af-
ter the adjournment of the session of
the East Ohio Fox Hunters associa-
tion. On Friday there was warm
contest among the different dog own
ers, the entire pack of 35 hounds being
sent after the same fox.
Victor Houriat, Of Massillon, had
his two dogs, Bryan and Badly, in the
chase and they won the brush, being
In the lead when the fox was run
down. The other foxes were started,
but they led the dogs a merry chase
and were not caught.
In the pack were imported English
fox hounds owned by millionaire hun
ters from Cleveland, who came in a
private car with their horses and at
tendants. In addition to these, were
dogs from West Virginia and other
sections, yet the Massillon dogs
showed them all a clean pair of heels
and carried off the honors.

STILL KICKING
CoIored People Not Salts
fled With Disposition
of Hall Fund.

I'VE have protested in probate
court the action of Miss Frances Riley
in calling meeting of her friends in
stead of the citizens of Stark county
to choose directors for the school to
be established in Massillon with the
Hall fund. Further than this we will
ask an injunction to restrain Miss Ri
ley from using the money in this way.
AS yet no counsel has been retained
by us, but this step will be taken within
few days"
This is the statement made to
Morning News representative Monday
by Joseph r. Mackey, of 312 North
Market street. prominent colored
citizen of Canton, who was barred from
the Massillon meeting Friday night,
when the directors of the industrial
school were appointed. Mackey has
been sent as representative of Can
tons colored citizens, who, including
Rev. Forte, of st. Paul's A. M e.
church, are generally incensed at the
action of Miss Riley. The assertion
is made that the woman appointed the
nominating committee and stated that
they would not hesitate to appoint
themselves as directors If they so de-
sired, AS a result every member OF
the committee is on the board of di
rectors. 1t is also claimed that Miss
Riley was asked by James A. Hunt,
trustee of the Hall fund, to postpone
the meeting until all the colored citi-
zens Of the county could be notified.
Should the head Of the new school
attempt to solicit subscriptions in Can
ton she will be met with cold recep-
| ton if the efforts of the colored citi-
zens Of this city can bring it about.

Washington, d. G., Nov. 3.--His ex-

Turkey to the United States has re-
turned to this city.
1T is very wrong" he said in an in
terview today, ITO have the idea get
abroad that there is any difficulty be-

her Christian citizens. There is no
such difficulty and has never been
any
"The Christians of Turkey are up
holding the government and are loyal
to It. They are ready at all times to
Join hands in every movement that
looks toward strengthening the hand,,
Of the authorities.
"Al Of the trouble that has been com
planned of Is the result of the false
reports that have been sent abroad by
the Bulgarian bandits. Their purpose
Is to induce the Macedonians to join
them in a movement looking to their
independence. They are now under an
autonomous government with suzer-
ainty of Turkey over them. Mace
donia Is simply part OF the Turkish
domain.
"The Bulgarians have a COMMITTEES
that might well be called committee
of Justification which sends out all
sorts of sensational reports.
THE atrocities we hear of are COM
mdtted by these Bulgarian brigands,
who are styled Christians. for the pur-
pose of creating sentiment against
Turkey on the part of the great powers
TO help along their intrigues looking
TO the independence Of Bulgaria"

TALES ABOUT TOWN

A party of young people were din
ing in local hotel sometime ago, and
at the table beside them we!e seated
four boys, who were partaking, to ALI
appearances of their first course din
ner. Their simple enjoyment and de-
delight at the various dishes, probably
unknown to them before, furnished
no little amusement to tho other
guests. During the intermission be-
tween each course one member of the
party would jump up and prepare to
go, evidently thinking that the menu
had been completed. He was urged
by the others however, to remain
and when another course appeared his
surprise and delight knew no bounds
At the completion of the meal, finger
bowls in tinted red glass we're brought
in, each containing the customary slice
Of lemon. They we're placed before
each of the boys who regarded them
curiously. Finally the one of whom |
have spoken ventured to ask What
fer wine is this?" The others
could not answer him satisfactorily so
he raised the glass to his lips and after
few swallows said with a wry face,
Il don't keer fer these new tangled
dishes"

The good old custom of hand shak-

ever. But have you ever noticed the
various different styles of hand shakes
First there is the individual who still
hesitatingly extends his palm and
loosely grasps the tips of your fingers
in his cold clammy hand. It always
happens to be in this latter state. that
you can make sure of. 1t gives a
creepy, uncanny feeling to encounter
this handshake, sensation akin to
the kind that comes over one when
you are introduced to a queer speci-
men of mankind who languidly puts
up his eyeglass and stares you over
from head to foot, then slowly extends
the tips of your fingers and affectedly
drawls out Delighted to know you

Then there is the handshake usually
affected by doctors and clergymen. II
Is just gentle squeeze, tender ant
solicitous. and inquiries palmer thar

In direct opposition to this there is the
brusque, hearty being who will gral
your hand impetuously and pump il

fashion. You can forgive him readily
however, for the good will of friend

clumsy way in which it is given Bes

Notwithstanding Themselves

The Water Users association of Salt river valley and their friends are greatly elated over their success in ob. t0iniul; signatures to the associations articles of agreement representing more than one hundred and fifty thousand acres of valley land, the minimum acreage required by the government before iuaugurating work on the Tonto dam. Mir Dwight B. Heard, of Tempe, who went to Washington to personally present to Seoretory Hitchcock the ar gumeut of the Southsiders opposed to the Water Users association plan, was turned down and has thrown up the sponge. There now appears to be no obstacle to the construction of the great irrigation works to be located in the upper Saltrrver valley, this county
 We would be more disposed to con graduate our Maricopa county neigh. bors over their success if they showed some consideration for other people and interests Not content with hay ing secured the governments promise to construct the dam, the Water Users association is now soheming to have the government build a wagon road from above Phoenix over the noun taius to the damsite, in order that freight to be delivered there will be di- verted to Phoenix and be hauled to its destination by valley teams.
 To speak plaiLly, the Phoemx pro- motors are displaying hoggish spirit that is not calculated to make them any friends Tn this county They are, too, doomed to see their plan fail, as n wagon road for heavy freight, to the damsite, from the Phoenix side of tue mountains, is not feasible. Asumcm- Der of the geological survey remarked, "You might get over the mountains iu balloon, but not in freight wagon.
 The only practicable route into up- per Salt river valley where the Tonto dam is to be constructed is by way of Globe. The distance from here to the damsite is only about thirty-iiye miles over fairly good road, all down grade with the exception of few miles. If the government has any money to ex pend ou roads, the proper place to put 1t, where the returns will be substau- tial, is between Globe aud the site of the proposed works.
 If the Phoenix people are wise they will drop the wagon road scheme.

King Peter may find that he was somewhat nasty in promoting the mill tary assassins of his predecessor, Alex ander. Even while the new king was en route to Belgrade adyices from the Serviau capital were to the effect that the position of the ministry was be- coming more unenviable daily iu con sequence of the Russian and Austrian demands for the punishment of the regicides.

Saints who love peace and charge so much for etfecting peace, on brief job, evidently would be im- proved if they loved the Lord more.

One Lesson of the Morenei Strike

One Lesson or the MOrenci Strike
 It is gratifying to note that the ter,
 ritorial press, with but few exceptions,
 heartily approve of the calling out of
 United States troops for duty at Mo-
 renci during the recent strike. With
 two thousand armed strikers terroriz
 ing the district and threatening life and property, 1t was no time for qnibbliug, and If there was any reason whatever to question the eSpediency Of calling out the regulars, all grounds for doubt were removed by the urgent request for such assistance made by Sheriff Parks and Captain Rynuing of the rangers. The situation was desperate aud there was mo tune to reason why, " but prompt compliance with the re- quest of the officers on the ground was imperative.
 The call for troops, instead of indi- eating weakness on the part of Arizona and furnishing an argument against the admission of the territory as state, as alleged by the Tucson Citizen, rather shows that the people of Arizona are | lawabiding, and that our public officials from the executive down, regardless of political utilization, can be relied upon in the face of great public danger, to do their duty.
 The promptness with which the dis lurbauce at Morenci was quelled, and tue arrest of the ringleaders who coun- seled violence, will have q good effect. It IS a hint to agitators and fomenters of trouble elsewhere that the law will be enforced and order maintained in Arizona, even if it requires the strong arm of Uncle Sam to do it.
