FRENCH CRITICISED
For Having Too Many Irons In
the Fire'-Shouid do One
Thinq at q Time.

cleveland Finance" a trade jour-
nal, relative to one Of the French pro-
jects says:
1.-The Youngstown e. Cleveland road,
if built, and the Mentor marsh prop
osition might be attractive as promis-
ing to serve the possible need of some
lines already in existence. Railroads
today are profitable for two reasons
One Is the Industrial concerns which
they serve in the cities which they
traverse and the other is the connec-
tions which they enjoy and by which
they are fed. No road is complete
without both. The vital question is,
how far in this direction would, the
French lines go? The answer must be
one of the developments of the future.
The French projects being seriously
considered, this one thing ought to be
taken into consideration. It would
seem that sincere promoter with con-
tinuity OF purpose, having one good
senture, would carry it to completion
without going pell nell after others,
desertiDg the original idea"
The fight for the Cleveland G. A. r.
business between the Big -Four and the
b, & o. ended Monday with the
movement Of two parties out Of Cleve-
land. The Big Four had special
train out Of Cleveland at 500 a. ~,
which went via Columbus, and reach
ed Marietta Monday night and the
Baltimore & Ohio had two special cars
on it's morning train, which joined
with another car at Akron, and went
to Valley Junction, where it became a
special train, and went over the Penn
sylvania. The results were satisfac-
tory to both lines concerned, as both
parties were Of good size.

MAYOR CALLED
FOR TROOPS
But Gov. Nash Refused
to Respond :. Situa-
ton at Fremont.

Columbus, May 13-The state oapi-
tai was thrown into excitement Tues
day night by news that call had been
made on Governor Nash for militia to
quell trouble at Fremont, Sandusky
county, where big sti ike is in pro-
gress. The employers brought in me-
groes and Italians to break the. strike
and in a clash between these and un-
ionists a striker named Otto Mischke
was killed, which has intensified the
bitterness and rendered the situation
critical. The lives of the negroes ard
Italians are in danger and many 1.e
leaving the city. Mayor Engler con-
municated with Governor Nash and
requested that troops be sent to Free
mont, but as the situation had net
then got beyond the control of local
and county authorities, the governor
refused to act. He instructed the nay
or to follow the statutes, which give
him power to call cut troops located
within the city of wbicL he is mayor
and judges authority tC call out troops
within their judicial district.
The mayor then applied to Major
Myron c. Cox. commandSg the third
battalion of the Sixth infantry, o. ~.
g.. Of Fremont, for troops
The mayor exceeded his authority
in issuing this application and under
the governors ruling it counts for
Nothing. The mayor only has power
to call for tr.1ps within his own city.
Adjutant General Gyger said last
night that no instructions had baeD
sent to any of the troops to be in
readiness for call and that none
would be sent unless the sheriff OF
Sandusky was unable to handle the
situation. This official claimed to be
unable to secure deputies.
The colored strike breakers have
been ordered to leave Fremont by the
unionists and the police seem power
less to protect them. The Italians,
who are few, have been given until
Thursday to leave and as they are
armed ii is feared there will be blood
shed. While the situation is ominor $
enough in the ees of the states OFF,
cials 1t has not yet reached the point
where 1t is necessary to call out the
troops.
