JUDGE TYNER ROASTS ROOSEVELT.
And incidentally Jabs BristoW for the Charges Pre-
ferred Against Hm--Touching Appeal TO His
Chief ACCuser' Wants Wrong Righted.

General Tyner coh:.nued: "Fortu-
nately have had my day in court anG
have established my innocence of an,
crime or any misconduct in Office.
asked not for an acquittal but for
vindication; and, so far as possible
every act of mine referred to in Mr..
Bristow's report, was placed before
them fully and exhaustively. The jury
without a moments hesitation pro-
nounced me not guilty on all the in.
dictments. Their verdict, l am ad.
vised and believe, expresses the unan-
imous sentiment of every member OF
the bar and of the community which
followed the case.
Such verdict In a trial brought
In good faith would ordinarily be a
sufficient vindication of an accused
party, but unfortunately in this case,
your official proclamation of my as
sumed guilt has such weight, ano is
entitled to have such weight, that to
many 1t practically over-rides the ver-
dict of the court and jury given after
trial. Against such injustice l have
no recourse, except by appealing to
your sonse Of right and fair dealing"
Re-affirming his charges that Bris-
tow's report suppressed the facts;
garbled the evidence; misquoted the
records; made untrue statements and
was calculated to deceive, General Ty-
ner says: 1T is no longer merely
my statement against Mr.. Bristow's,
but that witness after witness on the
stand for the government in my trial
denied the accusations in his report,
and document after document from
the government files disproved his
charges. | do not mean for q moment
to question the good faith and entire
sincerity'of your proclamation; I wish
merely to emphasize the fact that
you have been deceived and that your
laudable zeal for public and official
decency has been imposed upon"
In conclusion General Tyner says:
my remaining hours are few, and
though my house is in order and with
clear conscience await from day to
day the irrevocable summons, never
theless / can not close my eyes with.
out first appealing to you, Mr.. Presi-
dent, as my chief accuser, to endeavor
in so far as you can, to right the great
wrong which you have unwittingly
done me-"

To Collect a Gambling
Judgment.

judgment for s210 in common pleas
court against Neal Schumacher for

sheriff returned the execution as not
satisfied for want Of property to levy
upon.

and she will be brought into court to
tell what she knows of the disposition
of the property of her husband. The

COL0RED MAN
STRIKES AT THE ROOT OF
THE EVIL
DESTROY THE RESORTS
And Toughs Will Leave
the City of Canton.

An intelligent colored man, who Is
employed in responsible position as
foreman in one of the largest manu-
featuring establishments in, the city,
and who has the confidence and respect
of his employers, called at the Morning
News Office and wanted to make a
statement giving his views upon the
race riot that occurred in the bad
lands Sunday evening. Lest he should
be made the target for the tough ele-
ment of both races he did not care to
have his name mentioned. The gentle
man sold:
80 long as white and colored men
and women are anowed to congregate
in saloons, beer gardens and other re-
sorts to have good time, as they call
it, so long may we expect such oc-
currences as happened yesterday.
'The toughs, both sexes of both
races, meet at these places. They drink
lar generally. No serious trouble has
occurred in these places, but 1t is when
upon the streets and they attempt to
force recognition from each other and
try to have an intermingling of the
races upon the streets, as in the sa-
looms and dancing halls, that the trou-
BILE begins.
"To run a lot of the so-called Spring
field people out OF town will only make
the city more inviting for toughs OF
some other town. 10 arrest and i'm
pose a fine upon them only makes
them help pay the expense of the city
and give them a new lease OF lawless-
ness.
Break up the dives, destroy their
nests, and the tougns will go to Cleve-
land or some other town and accuse
Canton of being a dead city, no place
for fun. AS long as these resorts are
allowed to run they attract the worst
element of botn races and all nation
alities.
These race disturbances reflect up
on the better class of colored people
and we appeal to the city administra-
ton to get after the source of tho
trouble. Destroy the public nuisances.
The gentleman went on to say that
| in these low saloons any day before
last nights trouble, could be seen
persons of both sexes, colored, whites
Jews, ltalians, and people Of all races
drinking and consorting together in q
disgraceful way, dancing with each
other. Colored people from Alliance
and other cities came over here and
went down on Madison street and into
the resorts because they could have a
good time without danger of interfer-
ence.

Cherished Relic.

DR.. Spratt, of Malvern, a subscriber
for the Morning News, exhibited with
pardonable pride at this Office yester-
day letter dated April ~, 1925, from
Jane Russell, county Tyrone, Ireland,
to Col. John N. Russell and Mrs. Jane
Russell, of Washington county, Pa.
The latter was the mother of DR.,
spratt, and he values the letter as one
of his choicest possessions. The writ
ing is as clear as when first written,
and the legibility of the penmanhip
would shame many of the victims of
present day vertical" and other sys-
TENS of chirography.

Washington, June 13.--James NJ
Tyner, former assistant attorney gen.
eral for the postoflice department,
who was recently tried and acquitted
in the district courts of the charge
of conspiracy against the government
and who appeared in the court room
in an invalid's chair, has addressed
letter to President Roosevelt appeal
ing to him 'as my chief accuser, to
endeavor in SO far as you can, to right
the great wrong you have unwilling
ly done me-, a4+ y
General Tyner, in his letter says:
"In November 1903, on the strength
of certain charges contained in a re-
port by Mr.. Bristow, the fourth as
sistant postmaster general, you gave
to the press of the country state
ment to the effect, that, gross corrup-
tion, in the case of Assistant Attorney
General Tyner has gone on for num-
ber of years. and after referring to
me as the chief offender you say
that In my case the corruption took
the form of favoring 'get-rich-quick'
concerns and similar schemes; In 9TH
er words, the criminals, whom it was
(my) sworn dnty to prosecute, paid
(me) for permission to fleece the pub
lie unmolested.' After thus giving your
official opinion as chief magistrate
of the nation as to my guilt, you re-
ferred to the fact that there were
three indictments pending against me,
and you called upon jury to do its
duty.
"No verdict of jury or sentence of
judge could possibly have had such
far-reaching or irremediable conse-
quences for me as this extraordinary
official proclamation of guilt by you;
and the ordinary machinery of justice
is probably powerless fully to rectify
the injustice done.
Immediately upon seeing your
charges In the press, I addressed you
q letter, protesting that on the mere
say-so of Mr.. Brlstow, you had no
right, without at least first giving
me a chance to be heard in my own
defense, or without confronting me
with the charges or the evidence, thus
prematurely and rashly to prejudice
me and perhaps forever blast the good
name and character which for nearly
eighty years l had endeavored to es-
tablish"

BoYLAN WAS SHOT
On Railway Property-Railway Men
Had a Right There.

On Railway Property-Railway Men
Had Right There.
A popular impression seems to pre-
vail that the men shot Sunday were in
a district where they should not have
been This is not true in some re-
spects. The trouble occurred at the
iuncture of Ninth and Sterling streets
and the men shot were on the w. G. L.
g. Co.'S property. Boylan, when shot,
fell between the rails of the Wheeling
tracks. The railroad switch Office is at
this point where the men had con-
gregated. Fitzgerald, the first man
wounded, was yard brakeman who
volunteered to point out the negro who
had been raising the disturbance, to
the officer. Boylan was son of the
assistant roadmaster of the w. C l.. e.
and a brakeman by occupation. Har-
ridon was also brakeman.

Strawberries in Eondant.

A noted authority on cooking tells
us that all fruits contain sufficient
sugar. If they are too acid to be
palatable, they are unfit to be eaten.
To serve sugar with them is simply
to add insult to injury, as it were, and
giving the stomach two unwholesome
things instead of one to dispose Of,
as the sugar does not destroy tn.
acid, but simply DISCUSSES it.
Be that as it may, there are lots OF
us who will continue to use sugar on
our strawberries; we prefer to use
acid disguised, clothed as 1t were,
rather than in a too primitive and
striking condition of nature. Give
us sugar, we say recklessly, and forth
with down the strawberries unwink-
ingly.
An odd and pretty way of serving
strawberries is to serve them in fon-
dant This is made by boiling TO,
gether sugar and water in the proper
tion of four of sugar to one of water,
and a pinch of cream of tartar, with
out stirring (and wiping carefully the
sides of the vessel to prevent gran
ulation,) until little of it in cold wa
ter can be made into soft whit ball.
Stand aside till lukewarm, then beat
with wooden paddle till white and al
most solid; turn out on creased board
and knead like dough. Put on plate
for several hours to ripen.
Take a piece of this and melt in an
agateware saucepan over pot OF boil
ing water, Have large berries wash
ed and dried, with hulls still on. Fold
the hull close to stem, dip berries in
to melted fondant and put upon greas-
ed platter to cool.
They may be served in tiny paper
cases or heaped upon green leaves.
They are very delicious, and are dain-
ty morsels served upon cut-glass
bonbon dish and eaten as bonbons.
