MINERVA MAN SUES JOHN
MYERS FOR $4,000
ARREST AND ISLANDER
Insurance Companies Re-
fused to Pay Policies.

Perry Sipe, of Minerva, has brought
an action in the Stark county common
pleas court against John Myers for
$4,000 damages for false and malicious
arrest and slanderous utterances. 1t
is charged in the petition filed that
Myers falsely and maliciously, without
reasonable cause, swore out an affi-
davtt under the fear section, charging
that he was afraid of the plaintiff Sipe;
stock, burn his buildings or do per-
sonal violence or attempt to kill him.
Sipe was arrested upon the warrant
and placed in Jail On June 6 and kept
confined for II hours. 1t is also al
legged that the defendant at the time of
the arrest and on other occasions
boasted publicly of the harm he would
do the plaintiff. thus causing him
shame, modification and injury. Sipe
charges that at a public meeting in a
hall at Minerva, in the presence of a
large number of persons, Myers said
that he was thief, was dishonest and
did not do his work well. Judgment
for $4,000 is demanded for injury done
by the alleged libelous utterances. j.
7. DeFord is counsel in the case.
INSURANCE CASE.
The first of a series of six cases to
collect insurance is on trial in COM
mon pleas court before Judge Amber
and twelve good men and true. The
case on trial is that of Maude Graham
against the German-American Fire In
surance company for $500. The COM
pany refused to pay for the reason
that it charges that the plaintiff had
insured her goods in five other COM
panies and that the total amount of in
surance carried was in excess of the
value of the goods. The other com
panies make the same charge and have
refused to pay the amount due on the
policies. The total amount carried
was about $4,000.

Money Saved.
no matter who you are or what you
are; no matter if your purse is slender
or otherwise, If you wish to see the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis and enjoy
every moment of your time, the best
place to stay-indeeu, the only place
to stay-is The Inside Inn.
The building of this splendid hos
telry has marked a new departure In
worlds fair accommodations, it being
the first time that the administration
of any exposition has taken the ques-
tion of the lodging and creature COM
forts of its visitors under its personal
supervision. This the Worlds Fair
Management has done. The Inside
Inn has been built with the same lavish
hand that has marked all other con-
structions at st. Louis. 1t is three
stories high, 400 feet wide, 800 feet
long, contains 2,257 bedrooms and can
seat $500 people in its dining-room at
one sitting.
Every modern convenience obtain
able has been installed and the COM
forts thus afforded enable visitors to
enjoy the sights of the Exposition
whenever they ptsase and then go to
their rooms for rest without long
tiresome journey to and from their
lodgings. A great saving in time and
money is consequently effected, as
sight seeing can be begun directly after
breakfast and continued late into the
night without any exasperating run
for the last car" No admission fee
other than the first is required from
those guests who remain within the
precincts of the Fair at The Inside Inn
The Inside Inn is run on both the
European and American plans and the
rates are exceedingly moderate, rang
ing from $3.50 to $3.50 European, and
from $500 to 800 American, including
daily admission in both cases. The en-

until the inquiry tomorrow.
PIT1FUL SCENES.
Even those hardened to scenes of
death and suffering we're well nigh
overcome by the pitiful sights seen
tonight at the morgue.
At the department OF charities dock,
at the foot of East Twenty Sixth
street, the tugs Fidelity and Massas-
soft landed with the bodies of 122 vic
tins of the General Slocum disaster.
Five hundred weeping friends and
relatives of the dead or missing gath
Grad at the foot Of the street and
were only kept from rushing on the
piers where lay the burned or drown,
ed bodies by the reserves of the East
Thirty Fifth street police station, in
command of Captain Shire.
The Fidelity, which was the first
to arrive, carried the bodies of thirty
two women and eight children, all of
whom had been burned
BEYOND RECOGNITION,
and these lay under hasty cover
made of blankets on the stern of the
boat Relatives and friends, many of
whom were weeping and struggling TO
get into the morgue, were not allow
ed to pass the lines and would call
frantically to policemen and those
who were inside.
"Oh. tell me; tell me my boy is not
there" one woman kept crying. and to
quiet her she was told that he was
not, and she seemed satisfied, not
thinking that no one in the crowd had
any idea who her boy was.
Rude wooden boxes we're lined up
outside the morgue, and as rapidly as
the bodies could be unloaded they
were placed therei;. and lined up in
the morgue.
THE GRUESOME SIGHT
of the rough pine board collins, which
were brought in truck loads, did no,
add to the composure of those who
were searching for the lost ones.
The, Fidelity, with it's flag at hal
mast and the crew standing up in the
bow as far from the place where the
bodies were as they could get. pulled
lnJO tne COCK, ana not voice was
heard as the morgue keepers hustled
the rude wooden boxes ABOARD and be-
gan to remove the blankets from the
dead.
In many cases the little ones were
still half clasped in the arps of the
mothers, who had died
TRYING TO SAVE THEM,
and as these bodies were uncovered
several of the men who were carry
ing them out had to quit their work
The sight was too much for even the
strongest, and not few of those who
were admitted inside the lines were
obliged to leave.
Commissioner of Charities Tully as
sumed charge of the situation and the
work of Identification was systema-
tized so much as possible.

there was a cry OF fire.. Men came
among us and told us to be quiet. The
women and children were panic
stricken. l slid down a pole to the
water and held on a rope on the side
of the boat The flames began to
shoot out of the portfolios and l had

STORY OF THE PATROLMEN.
Patrolman William Van Tassel and
George Kilt, of the Harbor squadron,
had been detailed to duty on the
steamer Van Tassel was on the main
deck aud Kilt was on the upper deck,
way forward.
Van Tassel said he heard a muffied
explosion and then the women and
children began to scream. Rushes were
made for the life preservers and many
OF the women were assisted in putting
them on by the men on the boat, while
others Of the men became excited and
seemed to help only themselves. He
then felt the deck giving away under
him and was carried DOWN below

CREW DEMORALIZED.
Paul Lebenow, of 1913 East One
Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, who
was on board, says ne believes the fire
started in the boiler room. He says
the crew was utterly demoralized and
did not help the passengers. Accord
ing to Lebenow the captain of the
steamer blew his whistle for help but
the ferryboat Bronx, plying between
One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street
and College Point, passed by without
offering any assistance. he says.

Weak, sickly people often remarked

the food they eat is of no benefit to
them. They gain no flesh and feel
no stronger. The fact is the stomach
is too weak to perform its work. And
the little appetite they once had is
soon gone. The blood becomes more
thin and watery. bringing on faint sick
spells with loss of memory and ambi-
ton. There is a remedy for all this
that acts in the right way. It is called

their agitations have a great advan-
tage in one way-they plead the
cause of morality in the name OF
purity and religion.
But this is a short-lived and specious
advantage because in the long run
the people will not accept govern
mental policies or moral reforms at
the hands of any religious denomina-
ton or combination.
Dealing with the liquor traffic is
one of the gravest problems of govern
ment, and no political solution has
yet been found for the evils that are
connected with the business.
Merely taking possession of all the
pulpits that will be surrendered to a
temporal propaganda few days be
fore election will not solve the prob
lem. It has been tried in other
states and failed.
Church and State partnership in any
undertaking in the end weakens the
church and demoralizes the govern
ment and has done so in every coun'
try where it has been attempted.

The Grange instead of finding fault

mand more actual farmers and tillers

of the Agricultural college.
How can mere lawyers and politi-
clans and bankers be expected to run
farmers college? 1t is preposterous
and the Changers should not expect
such impossibillties as drawing blood

No one would expect a Board of

sToRMINe THE CHURCHES.

AS usual many Of the churches are
opening their doors for the Local OPP
ton crusade.
While that party denies It, the
whole machinery and organization of
the Prohibition party backs this al
legged Local option campaign.
So far as It is the determination Of
a public policy of dealing with the
uauor traffic, backed by a political
party 1t is politics pure and simple,
The office-seelSers and politicians OF
the other parties recognize the Local
Option crusade as politics, and sys-
tematIcally avoid committing them
selves or getting on either side of It,
But the Prohibition orators, and the
moral.wave reformers who are always
ready to jump into the pulplts, are
storming the churches.
A political program that will need
a strong administration to enforce It's
undertakings is making the churches
to go into politics once more.
While the founder of Christianity
ate and drank with publioans and sin
ners, and steadfastly refused to med
die with temporal affairs and policies
OF government, religionlsts in these
days jump at the chance to get into
politics.

THE GRANGE AND THE AeRlcuL

The intimation of the State Grange
is clearly that there is not enough
done for Agriculture at the State Agri-
cultural college,
Besides the Master of the State
Grange there is but one farmer on the
Board of Regents of the State Agrl-
cultural college, and he is an apple
grower.
The Board of Regents is composed
of nine members appointed by the
governor. besides the president Of the
college, and the State Board of Edu-
cation.

The President of the Agricultural
college can hardly be expected to be
a farmer. as few farmers in Oregon

The State Board Of Education, COM

Woodburn editor to DO his duty by
the public is this week.
What the people of Wodburn will
think of an editor who will wait until
the night before election to expose
official wrongdoing in so important
an office as county Judge, remains to
be seen.
There could not possibly be a more
cowardly policy adopted by the pub
Usher of a newspaper than to insinu-
ate that there was something rotten
In county judges record and then
refuse to give it to the public,
If this county had to have a Demo
cratic county Judge, the people could
not get a better or cleaner Democrat
than Judge Corby. He was elected as
Prohibition Mayor and then re-
elected without opposition.
But his policy of building roads en-
tirely by taxation and his opposition
to the voluntary subscription plan
ought to defeat him as q matter of
public policy
Under the law precincts can levy
as high as ten mills for road purposes,
but not precinct has resorted to that
method of raising road funds, and it
is safe to gamble none will.
A five or ten mills additional tax
on Woodburn would almost bankrupt
majority of the property owners of
that city, and that is what Corby ad-
vocates if he advocates anything.
Like free trade, that theory may
be a correct plan of road building but
It would be rulnous to the people of
our county. Scotts plan of allowing
the people who are most directly In
terested to subscribe and then adding
to their fund by the county is rational
and practical.
This is the real issue between
Scott and Corby and 1t is not personal
or to be ffected by threats of the
Woodburn editor, who ought not
threaten anyone. but should be thank
full to remain In obscurity,
Threats and abuse heaped upon the
editor of The Journal will not elect
Mayor Corby to the office of county
Judge, and should not defeat the pres
ent county court,
Judge Scott and Commissioner
Needham should be elected for sec
ond term as nearly unanimous as pos
sible for their splendid work, even 4
they have not risen to the Woodburr
editors high ideals of public service.
