BERLIN, Jan. THAT portion of
the joint reply Of the powers to Ven

arbitration only goes so far as to offer
to treat for a settlement out of court
after the payment of cash or the Civ
ing of a sufficient guarantee for the
payment of $335,00o to each power.
This resolution remains as the fixed

man government would much prefer to
close up the matter by negotiations
through Minister Bowen while the

Insane to an Early
Issue.

The question as to whether the state
hospitals or the infirmaries are to keep
the insane Is still agitating the author
tiles all over the state. 1t was an is
sue raised by the Stark county COM
missioners and afterwards taken up by
others. At Cleveland two insane pa
tients were taken from the infirmary
and an inquest of lunacy was held in
the probate court. They were found
to be insane and were committed to
the state hospital. The authorities Of
that institution refused to accept them.
One of the men settled the question by
dying during the transportation and
the other was returned to probate
court and recommended to the infirm-
ary. He was accepted under protest
and the question will be raised as to
whether or not the state shall not pay
for his keeping.
The commissioners of Stark county
are firm in their determination to
force the question to an issue and just
as soon as the rush Of criminal court
Is over In common pleas court. Prose-
cutor Day will begin an action to
force the state to either accept the in
sane inmates in the inflrmary or pay
the county for their keeping.

SLEUTH
IS UNDER ARREST
George Morton, Negro SwInd-
Ter, Wanted In Two States
Sheriffs Were His
Victims.

Sheriff Mckinney received a tele-
phone message from Athens, Tuesday
morning, stating that George Morton,
a colored man who has been posing as
a detective and defrauding sheriffs all
over Ohio and West Virginia, had been
arrested and would be held there upon
the charge of obtaining money under
false pretense. 1t Is understood that
after he has done time for his crime
there he will swing back around the
circle and be put in the hands of other
sheriffs whom he defrauded out Of
money, among them Sheriff Mckinney
of Stark county.
Just how much he succeeded in get
ting is not known. The sheriff refused
to make any statement. Morton Is a
large, blTly, brown-skinned negro. He
poses as a detective and is said to be
as smooth crook as ever went down
the line. His principal play was to go
to sheriff and tell him ne was in a
position to capture Jim Lowery, who
lis wanted at Shelby, korth Carolina,
for the killing of the chief of police
and for whom there is $2,700 reward
offered.
Morton said that he would not work
through the authorities at Shelby, in
timating that it would not be safe for
him to do so, but he wanted to enlist
the aid of some responsible sheriff who
could turn over the prisoner and coll
lect the reward, when division of the
spoils was to be made. In the mean
time, Morton was a l.-.-e hard up and
in order 20 carry out the plans it would
be necessary to have little cash. Nine
sheriffs out of ten, it seems, fell in
with the scheme and furnished sums
any where from $40 to $50, just as they
can be worked.
Morton will be held for the grand
jury at Athens. After he has complet-
ed his time there there are score or
more fellows who want him in West
Virginia and Ohio.
