Most of the persons whose names

nence from the use of intoxicating
drinks. Quite a number had, in for
mer days, been addicted to intemper-
ance, but this organization enabled
them to abstain the remainder of their
lives. Many pleasant gatherings took
place and much good was accom-
plished.
In Massillon such an organization
had been formed some time before the
work was begun in Canton and at the
time of the organization of the lodge
in Canton a delegation from the Mas
sillon lodge was present and assisted
in getting the work started here.
In 1910 the first organized effort in
temperance work was begun. 1t was
known as the WashiRgtonian move
ment, and was started in Baltimore

Two Object Lessons.

(From the Akron Times Democrat. }
On Monday Judge Sewell of Brook
lyn granted a certificate OF reasonable
doubt in the case of Samuel J. Parks,
the walking delegate convicted by a
jury of extortion in taking money to
call off a strike. The effect Of this Is
to release Parks from Sing Sing prison,
where he was doing time, under a
$4,000 bond, pending the determine
tion of error proceedings in his case.
The way the news of the action of
Judge Sewell was received in New
York is thus described in the press
dispatches:
The Board Of Building Trades, of
which Parks is president, was in ses-
sion at International hall, Fifty-fourth
st. and Third ave. when the news came
that he was to be released on bali.
There Is a news ticker in the place,
and the news was brought up to the
Board by John Dolan, the Jersey City
delegate of the union, who ordered the
strike against Josephus Plenty and was
witness for Parks.
The announcement was received
with cheers, and the regular order Of
business was suspended. 1t was then
arranged that Parks should after all be
Grand Marshal Of the coming Labor
day parade and ride on a horse that
was to have been led without rider.
John Dolan said that everything would
be done to make the parade a success,
so as to be a vindication of Parks. Ac-
cording to Dolan, $4,000 men will bu
in line on the occasion"
On the other hand yesterdays papers
contained dispatch from Canton, O.,
to the effect that the invitation ex-
tended to the Council of that city to
march in the coming Labor day parade
had been rescinded, on account of w.
A. Lynch being a member of that body,
and that individual invitations to all
members except Mr.. Lynch had been
sent out. The reason given was that
Mr.. Lynch, who is president of a COM
pany in Canton in which strike is in
progress, had instigated the prosecu-
ton of some of the strikers for what he
claimed was an unlawful act of theirs
In connection with his business.
We know nothing whatever of the
merits or the result of this prosecution.
But we do know Mr.. Lynch, and we
know him as a man who would mol
cause the prosecution Of another unless
he believed he ought to.
The Parks case speaks for itself.
All that we desire to say in regard
TO the two is that if the people con-
cerned in them expect to win that
popular favor to their cause which is
vital to its making any useful prog
ress, they are showing an excellent
way of how not to do it.

GRAIN. co. INVOLVED
Karrick, Williams & Gray of Chi
cago Transfers Open Trades
to Peavey Company.
Henry Karrick Says Local Company
Will Continue With Business
as Usual.

The Henry karrick company, a prom
inent house in the Minneapolis grain
trade. is involved in financial difficulties
that came to light this morning, when
the Chicago end of the company trans
ferred all it's open trades to the F. II.
Peavey company. The Chicago firm was
unable to stand against heavy calls for
margins caused by the recent severe de-
clines in wheat. For the interests Of all
concerned, it put all the open accounts
over to the Peavey company that custom
ers might be protected.
Karriclk, Williams & Gray of Chicago
were carrying very close to 100000 BUSH
els of wheat. Inability to obtain more
money promptly, and a heavy call for
margins, precipitated the trouble.
The first intimation that there was any
thing wrong came on change here in the
form of a private telegram to the effect
that the Chicago Board Of Trade firm Of
Karrick, Williams & Gray was trans
ferring open trades to another firm. This
at once started inquiry regarding the
Henry Karrick company of Minneapolis,
as there is close connection between the
two. Prompt assurance was forthcoming
here that there would be no losses, and
that no customer doing business with the
Minneapolis house need have any fear of
loss.
The Chicago firm did a large business
in grain, and was often mentioned as a
prominent buyer or seller in times Of &C
tivity in the grain markets. Henry Kar-
rick is well known to the grain trade OF
the northwest, having been vice presi-
dent of S. Strong & Co., an old grain
house of this city. About two years age
the firm was dissolved, and the Chicago
firm organized with Henry Karrick, H. S.
William and A. r. Gardner, r. J. Healy
J. L. Swanton and G. s. Gray as incor-
porators Messrs. Williams and Gray
manage the Chicago house.
Henry Karrick, head of the firm, was
seen at his office in the Chamber of Com.
MERGE building. THE embarrassment
Mr.. Karrick said, 'is on the part of the
| firm Of Karriclk Williams & Gray Of Chi
| cago, and while it affects me personally
as member Of that firm, it will not af

Judge r. w. Irwin Of Peoria, E. Jay Pin
ney Of Cleveland, G. H. Murphy of Den
yer, chief counsel of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Firemen, and F. N. Judson Of
st. Louis. Mr.. .Judson, who had been en-
gagged as associate counsel, introduced
Messrs. Irwin, Pinney and Murphy to the
court before the proceedings opened.
Colonel Blodgett, on behalf of the Wa
bash, asked that the court set Thursday,
March II, as the date on which to hear
arguments on the motion for the disso-
luton of the injunction. This date hav-
both sides in the controversy, Judge
Adams announced his acquiescence.
Judge Adams stated he wished to give

oughly prepare for the hearing and asked
to have any exceptions or affidavits filed
as early as possible before that date.
