Cheap Thief in Wall Street.

Nobody will have the least sympathy
for the Wall street man just arrested
In the west for stealing bonds. Nobody
should, II he is guilty. Nowadays a
Wall street man who overlooks the
splendid opportunities for getting rich
quickly with no chance of arrest and
who instead of flooding the market with
millions OF dollars OF worthlessz stock,
stupidly commits grand larceny. will
be treated only with the contempt he
deserves, A Wall street promoter who
stoops SO low In the art II lswdndlins
as to break the criminal law when he
can be just rs dishonest and make q

CANTON BUILDERS
Affected by Breaking OFF of Negotitions
Between Marble Workers and
Dealers.

Baltimore, Md. Nov. 13.-The ne
gotiations between the international
association of marble workers and the
national association of marble dealers
we're broken off tonight and the strike
will be continued indefinitely. The
dealers insisted on the open shop
principles; this the workers refused to
concede. The strike has now been on
over month and ahalf
The failure Of the marble workers
and the employers to reach an agree
ment will delay the completion Of
the banking rooms of the First Nation

remembered that the marble workers
from Cleveland had barely started up
on the Interior OF the rooms when they
were called on BY the strike, Since

! The Whining Nuisance.

There isn't anything in the world
more disagreeable than whining per-
son. He whines If 1t is hot He whines
II 1t is cold. He whines at this, he
whines at that. he whines at everything.
Whine. whine, whine. 1t Is nothing
the matter with him. 1t is just bad
habit. The wilmer is generally an idle
person or lazy one. What he needs
Is to be set to work-at real hard work,
mental or physical. Some work that
will interest him and engage his whole
attention. and he will not have time to
whine. Get the whine out of your
voice or 1t will stop the development
and growth OF your body. 1t will mar
row and shrink your mind. 1t will
drive away your friends. 1t will make
you unpopular. There is nothing the
matter with You. Just quit whining
and go to work. tes

THE CONCORD RETURNS

Panama, Nov. 13.--The United States
gunboat Concord returned here today
from the town of David about one hum
dred miles south of Panama. The
Concord did not go SO far south as
Buena Ventura which 1t had been
thought was her destination when she
left Panama several days ago.
Reports from various points on the
north coast are most reassuring it
being stated from trustworthy sources
that everything is quiet there
The feeling has been growing in Pam
anna that there is very little to fear
from Colombia in the way Of an in
vasion. 1t is the belief here that the
Colombian government has all it can
attend to in quieting the revolutionary
feeling within Colombia itself. 80

Chicago, Nov. 13.AThe latest devel-
Cured late this afternoon. At O'Clock
the union officials declared that fire.
men were on strike in all the six power
houses. The calling out of the fire.
men involves oilers, water tenders,
coal passers, ash handlers and boiler
room supply men.
Secretary Fisher, of the firemens'
union said this afternoon that all of
the men employed in the power houses
had been called out The reason as
signed by him is that Manager McCul-
Tough refused to listen to their plans
for meditation at a conference today.
Superintendent MCCULLOUGH lost his
temper when he heard that the firemen
had decided to join the strikers.
"An agreement with Chicago union
is not worth anything" said he. I'VE
have an arrangement with the firemen
to work a year. Their action will not
affect us however. Not fire which
we need will be allowed to go out"
Mr.. MCCULLOUGH refused to say wha.
means he had arranged to keep the
fires going.
"We have enough coal to last for
two days." continued Mr.. MCCULLOUGH.
Lest the teamsters go out and refuse
to deliver coal we can keep the plants
in operation"
Fully thirty arrests were made dur
ing the day but no serious demonstra-
ton resulted from running the car
lice protection. There were from eight
to twenty policeman on each Of the
cars and a police inspector preceded
while a pstrol-wagon-l Of police
men followed the cars. A few stones
and sticks were thrown and windows
in one car were broken but no one
was hurt and the crowds along the
street reviewed the parade much as
though 1t were for their entertain
ment Those arrested were almost all
teamsters who attempted to block the
tracks by driving in front of the cars
and refusing to turn out.
1t was decided to not attempt to run
cars after dark and with the return
of the cars to the barn the crowds
along the line disappeared and tonight

Indifference to Craft ng.

"The American people don't mind

fortunately this politician wasn't far
from The truth. The experience of
almost every American city will bear
him out. This peculiar attitude of
honest Americans toward dishonest
politicians is sometimes attributed to
indifference, 1t is said, to pay proper
attention to their municipal govern

simply to the Philadelphia boss state

Away But Will Probably Recover
Renninger Announced After the Shoot
ing That He Would Commit Suicide.
1t was in the heat of an angry dis
pute, 1t is now believed, that ]. Rem
ninger whipped out gun and pumped
bullet into his father-in-law, Adam
Albright at the latter's home near
Mud-brook school house. five miles
north of Massllon late Thursday af-
ternoon. Citizens of Canal Fulton are
much wrought up over the affair and
late Friday afternoon communicated
with Prosecuting Attorney Robert Day
in regard to Renninger's arrest. AL
though the condition of Albright is not
such as he could make statement of
the shooting, it is believed by the auth
critics that it was an Intentional act
upon the part of the son-in-law.
There we're no witnesses to the shoot
ing and all that is known is that the
two men were engaged in a converse
ton in the rear Of the Albright home
stead where Renninger and his wife
had made their home.
After the shooting occurred, Rem
ninger rushed into the home and dra-
matically exclaimed. 81 have killed
the old man and now l am going up
home to kill myself" During the inter-
i'm old man Albright, who had fallen to
the ground, arose and staggered
across the field toward the home Of
neighbor, where he was found
shortly after by his son, bleeding and
in an unconscious condition. Rennin-
ger started up the road on mad run
but shortly after the shooting he was
found Albright with the lower portion
of his jaw shot off was led toward home
and as he neared the place where the
shooting occurred the wounded man
suddenly stopped Pointing with his
hands he showed how he and Rennin-
ger stood when the trouble occurred.
Further than this the man could make
no statement. DR.. Hiram Dissinger of
Canal Fulton was called and aid was
administered to the bleeding man.
Friday night the condition of Albright
was fair and Notwithstanding his age
it is supposed he will recover.
When the news spread over the
neighborhood the anger of the farmers
was instantly aroused. 1t was reported
that they organized posse to hunt
down the guilty man but this has not
been confirmed.
Renninger however realizing that he
was in danger fed to the home of his
parents at Comet. Summit county.
The members of the family are re-
ticent. refusing to make any state
ments regarding the trouble. 1t is
known however that Renninger, who
was constantly employed on the farm.
often became engaged in bitter dis
putes with his father-in-law. These
arguments were usually in regard to
trifing matters.
Albright is IS years of age and a
well-to-do farmer. He is we'll known
to Canton residents.
Prosecutor Day, 1t Is understood, will
obtain a statement from Albright as
soon as possible and 1t is likely that
Renninger will be arrested within a
day or two.

GENERAL DICK CALLS
FOR INVESTIGATION

Colored Mans Right to the Ballot Box

man, Who is Warmly Supported by

Washington, Nov. 13. - General
Dick, Republican of Ohio, introduced
in the house today his resolution pro-
vidtng for congressional investiga-
tion into the denial of the right of
suffrage, as practiced by several of
the rtstes. This is accomplished, he
says " unconstitutional restrictions,
such as che grandfather clause" and

the right to vote aforesaid, except for
participation in rebellion or other
crime.
In such a condition as this, the
basis of representation In congress
and the electoral college shall be
reduced proportionately according to
the terms of the fourth amendment
and the revised statutes of the Unit

The Republican house caucus con-
sidered these resolutions and adopted
General Dicks proposition. The bill
Just introduced by him follows prac-
tically the provisions of the caucus
resolution, but proposes to refer the
matter to a standing committee In
stead of special committee.
The resolution is not a partisan
measure. 1t calls for an investigation
in any state where any number of
male citizens 81 years of age are dis
franchised by state legislation and
where such condition does exist, it de-
mands an enforcement of the four
