Columbus, Jan. 21.-The state board
of review on Tuesday acted upon q
number of appeal cases filed by foreign
corporations in exception to the ruling
of the secretary of state. Among the
cases considered was that of the
Hampden Watch Case company, Of
Canton, which has been assessed a fee
of 5000 by the secretary of state for
filing a report under the Willis law.
The company set up the claim that
its holdings were practically owned by
the Deuber Watch Case Manufacturing
company, which has paid the necessary
fees, and that because of this it should
not be required to pay the additional
fee for qualifying under the laws of
this state. 1t is Massachusetts con-
ccrn and was admitted to Ohio Tues
day. The board affirmed the ruling
of the secretary of state, which means
the company must pay the fee.
The case of the National Fire Proof
petition for reduction in fees several
weeks ago, was passed for further in
1t set up the claim that
II should not be assessed fees ON its
trade marks and good will, which the
secretary classified as property values.

General O fices Of the
Consolidated Lines to
be at St, Louis.
ALL GOULD ROADS ARE To Unite.
General OF Of the Wheel
inei, Canton are Likely to
be Aba n don I'D - Made
Merely Subsidiary.

Railroad officials in Canton are
discussing the probability of the con-
solidation of the Gould lines, includ-
ing the Wabash, Wheeling G Lake
Erie and the Ann Arbor.
The report is current that the con-
solidation will take place in the i'm
mediate future, and. If it is consum-
mated, it will be one of the biggest
railroad deals Of the year.
II is said that the name of the new
system will be the Pittsburg & Chi
cago Railroad company and that it
will be capitalized at 5000, 100000 with
q bonded Indebtedness OF over $780,
100000. making the total liabilities Of
the company over $3O0,0O0,O00
On what basis the new stock will
be issued in exchange for the old Sc
eurities is not known, but 1t is ex-
pected that there will be no great
difficulty in pcrsuading the present
holders to accept the change since
none of the stock has paid a dividend
In some years. The aggregate mileage
of the new system will be 5,127 miles.
IT is said that the organization of
this system will necessitate n complete
change in the method OF operating the
system. 1t is reported that there will
be one centralized government station
ed at st. Louis This will include
the principal traffic officials of the
system. Auxiliary Offices will be es-
tablished at Cleveland, and Pittsburg
The new officials will be chosen from
the men who make up the personnel
of the various departments of the
roads mentioned.
The change will be one of the most
complete that has been made on any
system In the last ten years. In fact
the report has 1t that there will be
mighty overurning of affairs. De-
velopments are awaited with much in
terest.
Superintendent Taussig and Assis-
tant Superintendent Van Dusen, of the
Wheeling are in Cleveland today and
no definite information could be Sc
cured from them until their return.
1t is expected, however, that If the
new plan goes into effect as stated,
that Canton will lose the general Of
fees of the Wheeling at present To-
Gated here, or at least that the local
Offices will become merely subsidiary
to the general headquarters of the
system in st. Louis.
Just how greatly the change will
effect the local Offices cannot accurate
y be determined until the plan in it's
entirety has been made public.

Hall sworc out Warrants in Squire Cor
don's court against Coe. Robinson
charged him with fclonious assault and
Hall accused him of assault and bat
terry. He was fined $50 and costs on tho
warrant sworn out by Hall, but he ap-
pealed the case to the circuit court. On
the orther warrant he gave bond.
The amount of bond on the warrant
sworn out by Robinson was fixed Mt
$500, and is for Goes appearance for
trial ut 3 o'clock Monday afternoon in
Squire Gordon's court. The amount of
the appeal bond in the case preferred
against Coc by Hall is 500. and was
given for his appearance in circuit
court.
Officer Lewis swore out n warrant no.
fore Mayor Grille shortly after the fight
against Coe, and the trial was set for
Saturday night ut Z o'clock. At that
hour the affair will be investigated by
his honor, the mayor.
Hall was not much hurt in the affray,
but Robinson was pretty badly used
up. His face was very much bruised
and cut and soon became very greatly
swollen. Goes only injury, beyond tho
slight scratch already mentioned, were
bruises on his knuclles, received in
pounding Robinson's face.
In short statement last night af-
ter the fight Mr.. Robinson said that Coo
first knocked Hall down and then turn
ed his attention to him. He ran through
ono 0f The ho4ol ,,,<,,,,, - .>.,... - Ia.
and later grabbed u club, but this was
taken from him by some one and then
Coe downed him and struck him in the
face several times. 1t is claimed by per-
sons employed in the News office that
the party who took the club from him
was either a gas filter or driver of q
beer wagon. Robinaoa also stated that
he threw a brick at Coe during the al :
fray.
Robinson was out little while this
morning, but has been in since then and
could not be seen by one of the editors
of this paper this afternoon, when the
latter went to the News Office to get
his side of the story. He was informed
that Robinson was at his home, but that
his face was not very much discolored.
The affair is quite unfortunate and
feerettable. Oft times things get into
newspaper which are offensive and high
" Objectionable, but without malice or
intention to do harm or personal injury,
but ut the same time discretion is the
better part of valor. and, perhaps, would
have proven SO in this case, even when
coe inquired of him why they published
the article about him. 1t is the duty
of newspaper. however. to give the
news, when it is legitimate, let what
may follow. and that is the way the
general public should look at it.
