The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1903-07-21

The Columbus Press, which insists
upon the nomination of Tom Johnson
for governor, should send representa-
tive to Cleveland to discover whether
or not he will accept the nomination.
The state politicians believe that the
gubernatorial bee has not been buzzing
in Mayor Toms bonnet for many
moons. The prevailing idea is that
Mr.. Johnson is looking for Mark Han
mas seat in the senate and if this be
true, the prospect of enjoying couple
Of years in the Ohio statehouse will
not be much of temptation. 1t Is
clearly case of what Mr. Johnson
wants. If he is looking for the COVER
norship, he is more than likely to land
the nomination, and if he has his eye
on the senate it is quite improbable
that he will permit his ambition to be
sidetracked.

Branch Office:
w. v. Moser & Co., Cor. w. Tusc. and
Brown Ave.

The press of this portion of the state
has generally endorsed an editorial in
the News-Democrat a few days ago,
relating to the methods of foreign land
improvement companies. The opera
ton of these companies is SO wide
spread that what is applicable in one
city is applicable in all and
the neighboring newspapers have
not been slow to reprint generous por-
tions of the News-Democrat's expose.
All that is required tc put these al
legged investment companies out of
business is publicity. Their methods
will not survive scrutiny. Investors,
for year or two, receive generous di-
yidends and then awake some morning
to discover that the company is defunct
and that their stock is worthless. And
this is the inevitable termination of
ninety-nine out of every hundred of
these concerns. Dividends" are
drawn out of the capital paid in and
any school boy will understand that it
is only matter of time until the finale
occurs.

WET OR Dry
Osna burg Will Have 10.
cal Option EIec.
tion.

Osnaburg is to have local option
election within a short time under
the supervision of the Ohio anti-saloon
league. For some time the citizens
of Osnaburg have been considering an
election and they have repeatedly con-
ferred with the local officials of the
anti-saloon league. 1t is now highly
probable that petition will soon be
circulated among the voters asking for
a local option election. There will be
number of saloons affected II the
township goes dry.
Another official has been added to
the force at the local headquarters Of
the anti-saloon league in the person OF
Is. p. Doty. graduate of the law de-
partment of Ohio State university. Mr..
Doty has only been In this work for a
short time and this was his first as
sienment from the state league. He
will act as assintant superintendent
to Prof w. B. Judd of Alliance who
is the district superintendent Prof.
Judd is an instructor In Mt. Un.
ion and ia unable to devote all of his
time to the league work. For this rea-
son Mr.. Doty has been added to the
force and he will probably carry or
most of the work of the local Offices
under the supervision OF Prof. Judd.
Today Carrollton holds local o.
tion election. Carrollton is included
in the Canton district and the officials
Of the local headquarters are on the
ground.

PARIS EDITOR ARRESTED.
He Takes a Jim Grow Seat in Wash
inqton Car and Won't Bulge.

Washington, June is. NJ. Andre
Chermand, the distinguished Paris au-
thor and editor of LIE Clair, who was
President Roosevelt's guest at lun-
cheon the other day, went to visit the
tomb of Washington today, but met
with an adventure that caused him to
abandon the pilgrimage.
NJ. Chermand boarded Il Washington
and Alexandria car, bound for Mount
Vernon. These cars are divided in the
middle by imaginary lines, and as soon
as they cross the Potomac into Nir-
ginia the rear half of each car Is
transformed into a Jim Crow compart-
ment by operation of law. Only ne
groes are allowed to ride there. The
French visitor was not aware of this
and took q seat in the rear. The con-
ductor advised NJ. Chermand that he
had better move forward, as he was oc-
cupying a seat reserved for Jim Crow.
"Jeem Crow" queried the French
man. II do not know zee name"
Some words ensued and the condue-
cor became angry. NJ. Chermand did
not understand and would not bulge.
When Alexandria was reached the
conductor called n policeman, who
placed NJ. Chermand under arrest and
conducted him to the station house.
Nobody there could speak French, and
NJ. Chermand could not speak English
we'll enough to make himself under
stood. Then he was taken before the
mayor, who acts as q petty magis-
trate The prisoners identity was
finally made known, and the mayor
suspended sentence and told M. Cher
mand that he was at liberty.
With good deal of effort the charge
upon which NJ. Chermand had been ar
rested was explained to him. When he
grasped the situation he took it good
naturally and closed the incident by
| taking a photograph of the conductor.
Some months ago a daughter of Gen.
Robert f. Lee was arrested for riding
| in the Jim Crow end of a Washington
and Alexandria car.

representations at Colombia with the oh
1ect of coercing the Congress of that coun-
try into ratification of the canal treaty.
1T is hoped that the same end may be ac-
complished in another way and this was
the object of the conference today between
President Roosevelt and Mr. Cromwell
The French company has agents in Colom-
bia who are in close touch with the situa-
ton and who are in a position to convey
in a sort of semi-offcal way the views
and wishes of the Washington administers
ton in regard to the canal
1t is expected that Mr.. Cromwell will
apprise the leaders of the Colombian Gov
eminent, through the French companys
agents at Bogota, of President Rooseyfts
feeling in regard to the treaty. 1t win be
set forth that the United States will never
consent to pay larger price for the canal
rlght OF way, and that the President and
the state Department insist that there
Is an obligation on the part of Colombia
not TO reject a treaty which incorporates
promises made by Colombia to this Gov
ernment before the selection of the Pana-
ma route
The Colombian Government will also be-
reminded that the United States will,
In the event of rejection of the treaty,
never allow any other nation or indvidu-
ais to dig a waterway across the ISthmuS
OF Panama, and that 1t is wholly a ques-
ton of whether Colombia shall get $40, 000-

lnasmuch as the French Canal Company
has everything at stake in the pending
treaty. it is believed that the representa-
tiVeS of that company In BOgota will make
President ROoSeVelts attitude known to.
the leaders of the Colombian Congress in
an emphatic way. 1t is hoped that their
will have the same effect
as an official expression through the State
Department, so far as the ratification of
the treaty is concerned.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, June 1S.-'There were a few
indy idual stocks in which active trad
ing and wide movements made cross cur
rents in the stock market, today, but the
great body of securities was Stagnant.
The market started off with some show
OF strength with the influence of the re-
duction in the rate of discount of the
Bank of England to per cent. and the
easier tone of private discounts in re-
sponse higher range of quotations for
Americans as IL consequence awaited the
opening of the stock market here. Some
of the leaders were lifte da point over
last night during the first half hour.
PENNSYLVANIA was in special demand and
rumors continued to circulate that the
Pcnnsylvania-Gould dispute had been adj
juSted. The progress of subscriptions to
the new Pennsylvania stock had fovor-
able effect on its market as well. When
it was learned that the price of cotton
was running off sharply the professional
operators in stocks INDUCED the hope that
they would be able to force an upward
turn. But they met selling pressure and
had to abandon the attempt. This sell
ing was especially acute in Metropolitan
Street Railway, Metropolitan Securities
and the iron and steel stocks. the SELL
ing being notably large in United States
former touched 2S7s and the latter ex-
ceedcd it's previous low record of 7SA by
a fall to 7SA. THE persistent selling Of
United States Steel stocks occasioncd
the price of iron was announced during
the day. The incident of delayed pay
ment of maturing obligations by the Col
orado Fuel and Iron Co was contnu-
|irg factor of depression in the whole
group. The stock market closed intense
liz dull and weak and near the low level
of the day, with losses of about point
in a number of leading stocks. Bonds
were weak. Total sales, par value, s., 610 :
00o. United States bonds were all I'M
changed on the last call.

MURDER AND SUICIDE
Attempted by Despondent Jew,
Thursday, at Fitchburg, Mass.

to prove fatal. No motive for the
shooting can be assigned, except that
Tilot was low spirited and ready to do
almost anything.

AN ULTIMArUM TO COLOMBIA.
1t Will be Sent Through Canal Com
pany's Agents.

Washington. June 1S.-The strong prob
ability that the Columbian Congress, ,-at
the, special session which is to meet on the
10Th Of this month will fail to ratify the
Panama Canal treaty, causes President
Roosevelt deep concern. He sent for
William Nelson Cromwell the American
reprcse ntative of the new Panama Canal
Company of France, today and with him
discussed the canal situation in view of
the recent advices from Bogota that the
opponents of ratification seem likely to
defoat the treaty.
The President takes the view that the
Government of Colombia has no right to
reject the pending treaty, but that a dis
tinct obligation rests upon it to ratify it.
Precisely why he holds that such an obi-
CATION exists is not explained, but the CON
tention is supposed to rest in the fact that
the Colombian Government entered into
an agreement with the United States to
give up certain territory as an inducement
to the selection of the Panama route
This Government, however. Is conscious
'of the impracticability of making direct
