Bohe mians are to Lend
Students Money for
College Expenses.

To encourage the Bohemian youth of
this country to seek higher educational
training, number of the leading Bo-
hemians of the United States have
formed what Is known as the Council
OF Higher Education. Inasmuch as
the council has made provision for as
sisting the Bohemian youth in finan-
cial way, its method of procedure is
somewhat different from the ordinary
educational councils, which assist the
young men and women of American
birth in securing a collegiate training.
To those Bohemians who have shown
a disposition in their common and high
school work to acquire good educa-
ton, this council will make loan of
$3.50 year to aid in obtaining an
education in a college specified by the
board OF directors. The applicant for
loan must be of Bohem parentage,
have a knowledge of the Bohemian
language and be in sympathy with the
Bohemian people.
The inner-workings Of this organ
ization has recently come under the
inspection of the High school officials
Of Canton through a communication
from the officers inquiring as to the
standing Of a Canton Bohemian who
recently graduated from the high
school and who is seeking the assist
ance of this organization.
Only the applications of those who
lack the means for independent study
will receive any attention from the
council. In order to obtain the loan
the applicant must signify his or her
intention to complete four year course
or rather q full course In the colleges
selected. Among the institutions sug-
gested by the council is the Ohio state
university.
This loan Is to be repaid the council
without interest at any time when the
financial condition of the applicant is
such that he of she can afford to do
so. The council through its secretary
will keep close tab on the behavior
and progress of its pupils In the
schools.

DEALERS ARE
UNDER FIRE
Searching Questions Of
Board Of Review
Create Alarm.

The merchants of Canton are being
called in on the carpet by the board
of review and are being asked what
they have to say why their tax values
should not be raised from 80 to SO per
cent They are being brought in one
at a time and put through the cate
chism relative to the average value Of
the merchandise they carry. The list
includes almost every merchant in the
city and the board Is kept busy hear
ing their protests.
1t is claimed that retail dealers as a.
rule are upon the tax duplicate at a
smaller per cent of the real value OF
their stocks, than any other class,
with the possible exception Of the big
manufacturers.
In almost every branch Of the trade
there is some one dealer who is high
man. His stock is turned in at
comparatively fair value. The board
Is taking these as a basis upon which
to figure and an effort is being made
to equalize all.
1t will develop that much of the in
vestigation will have to carry over un-
til next year. The board of review
in the 80 days allowed for its. session,
cannot begin to get over the field. No
estimate can be secured from the
board as to the amount that is being
added to the tax duplicate, although
1t is understood to be quite large.
The members Of the board refuse abb
solutely to make any statement before
their report is ready to be submitted
to the auditor.

Since Lou Dillon trotted a mile In
2 minutes few days ago, people have
been speculating as to the compara-
tive speed of the wonderful little
mare. She beat Cresceus' time by
2 IA seconds.
Lou Dillon in travelling the mile in
2 minutes was going at the rate of a
railroad train running 30 miles an
hour, which Is considered dangerous
speed in cities and crowded districts.

Thayer Passed Away in a Boston Hotel
in Midst Of Trial on an Ac-
cusation Of Forgery.

Boston, May s.-Edwin N. Thayer of
Newton, young man Of IS, who had been
an insurance solicitor, but more recently
treasurer Of several mining companies,
was arrested little over week ago for
forgery. A day or two after his arrest he
died very suddenly.
This sudden death has caused consider
able comment and inquiry in insurance
circles, and there is a hipt Of contest oy-
er the payment Of the policies. These
policies aggregate S47O,000, but, notwith-
standing the insinuatlons that have been
sent forth it would seem as if the com
panies would have something Of a task cut
ont for them to evade payment, ia view Of
the fact that so good an authority as Med
ical Examiner /. W. Draper certifes, as
the result Of an autopsy, that Thayer died
from acute nephritis, complicated with a
cardiac affection and congestion Of the
lungs.
Mr.. Thayer was probably the largest in
dividual risk Ia the country where death
resulted at so early an age. The bulk of
the insurance was taken out within the
past Is months, and among the policies
held by him was one ia the National Life
Insurance Co of Montpelier, VT, for

Rutland, May Mrs. Henry Mercler
Of Forest street, was brought before JUS
tice Of the Peace Newman Weeks last eve
ming and pleaded not guilty to the charge
-of having abused and otherwise badly
treated her seven-year-old daughter, Edith.
She was tried and found guilty and
bound over to the county court under 5000
bail
The charge was brought up by the hu-
name society, to whom complaints had
been made BY the neighboTs. The teach
ers in the school which the little girl at
tends testified that on Wednesday the
child came to school with cut on the
side Of her head and the face covered with
black and blue marks and that on exam
ming they found her body covered with
marks similar to those on the face They
also saw a burn on the right arm which
the child said was caused by her mother
pushing her against the stove. Neighb0rs
also testified to having seen the mother hit
the child over the head with pair Of
shears and Of seeing the mother throw her
on the floor.
J. w. Lyons appeared for the pr0secu-
tion In this case, but the defendant was
not represented.

MISSING FOR FIVE WEEKS
Trip From Sabine Pass to New York
Should Have Been Made in
Five Days.

New York. May Dit Is the general
belief in shipping circles that the
steamer S. Y. Luckenbach has been
lost at sea. She was engaged in the
tank oil trade and left Sabine Pass.
Tex, March %, bound to New York.
She should have made the trip in about
seven days. She took from Sabine
Pass. which IS the point Of call for the
Texas oil fields. 100000 gallons Of
petroleum. There were thirty-three
men all told on the ship, and it Is
thought that none of them escaped.
All her sailors were shipped IN Phila.
delphia, and none Of the names is OBJ
tainable here The Luckenbachs In
sured the craft for about one-half her
value, and the underwriters will lose
heavily in the event Of her not turning
up, which Is now almost certain.
Interest attaches to the case Of the
Luekenbach because 1t is exceptionally
rare when a coastwise steamship Is
lost leaving nothing whereby the ma
ture OF her fateful ending may be
learned. But in this instance the hun
dreds OF vessels constantly plying the
Luckenbach's lane of travel have seen
nothing Of her, nor has even the small
est piece Of wreckage or other clew as
to the fate Of the missing vessel been
found
Two other Vessels Disappear.
Since the Luckenbach left the Texan
coast two vessels. one a schooner and
the other a coal laden bark, have dis
appeared in southern waters, and this
leads the Luckenbachs TO the belief
that one or the other Of these vessels,
perhaps both of them, run foul Of the
heavy laden oil ship. This Is generally
regarded as a reasonable theory, but
others cling to the belief that she may
have blown up or taken fire.

The defendant was the original architect
Of the buildings erected at Howard Park

tion Of such aplant as was required and
did not give the work general supervision

plans and specifications that were furnished
we're faulty and that II the plant had been
