new SYSTEM
Of Mathematics That is Sought to
Be Introduced Here.

Prof e. F. Baker, connected with
Columbia university of New York city,
is in Canton this week forming a class
In mathematics which he will instruct
next week in the high school building.
After Superintendent of Schools Sar-
yer examined his system he recon-
nended it to the people of the city as
the best he had ever seen.
Mr.. Bakr's plan is to eventually in
troduce the system into the schools Of
the cities which he visits Thus far
he reports the best of success, as about
100 have already enrolled with him.
Coming recommended as he does by
nany of the best educators of the
&C ountTy, Mr.. Baker has had no difficult
" in interesting the leading citizens
Of Canton. The system of mathemat-
ics which he teachers is said to be
especially valuable to bankers and 9TH
ers who have difficult combinations of
fractions to work with. Prof. Sarver
thinks the system can be used to great
advantage with any branch of mathe-
matics. Morning and Afternoon classes
will be held in the high school build
inr next week, from Monday until Fri
aay.

PRESIDENTS STATEMENT
AROUSES ANTAGONISM
Members Of the Inter State Commerce Commission
Do Not Agree With Part of the
Executives Conclusions

Washington, d. c., June 22.-Presi-
dent Roosevelts discussion and dis
posal of the Paul Morton and Santa
Fe case has already aroused some an
tagonism. 1t is quite clear that the
President and the interstate commerce
commissioners do not agree as far as
his exposition of the Harvester COM
pany and the Colorado Fuel company
case is concerned. In the former the
western railroads, including among
others the Burlington, Northwestern,
Wisconsin Central, Rock Island and
Great Western paid certain proper
tion of the freight payments to the
International Harvester Co. the own
er of the switching tracks at Chicago.
These payments the interstate COM
merce commission held to be excess
sive, and to constitute, in fact, the
payment of rebate to the Harvester
company. When the Injunction was
obtained against the western roads to
cease rebating, this case, although not
specifically mentioned, was aimed at.
Since that time. the interstate COM
Eerce commission says, the injunction
has not been violated by these roads,
and the amount per car paid to the
Harvester company, has not exceeded
$3.50, the amount held by the COM
mission to be reasonable one.
This is the case which the president
declares to be on all fours with that
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe.
The Atchison publishes freight tariff
and announced the rate on coal at

BEGIN TO SIT UP
AND TAKE NOTICE
REPUBLICANS TALKING OF NEW
COUNTY CHAIRMAN.
Also Of the $4,000 Legacy Supposed to
Be Kept by the Clark Ad-
ministration.

There is beginning to be some stir
in Republican quarters and the election
OF county chairman to succeed
George II. Clark is coming on sched-
uled time. Mccullough IS said to have
a majority of twenty committeeman
signed to an agreement to support
him for chairman. 1t is claimed that
Clark Is purposely delaying the call.
ing of the committee together and
unless he soon issues the call the
committee will be called by the mem.
bers independent of Clarks wishes.
1t is understood that the secretary
ship of the committee will be given
to Massillon in accordance with an
agreement made by the Grant people
prior to the primaries.
1t is the intention of the Grant peo-
pie to force all of the candidates for
congress to have their names on the
ballot and the one receiving the high.
est number of votes will be given the
entire county delegation.
When George Clark leaves the com.
mittee chairmanship there will be
about $4,000 of funds collected from
the candidates to account for and
the new committee are licking theil
chops in gleeful anticipation of spend
ing those $4,000. Incidently it is re
ported on the inside that the
Clarkites have declared that if the Re.
publican party persisted in its action
that it meant Democratic success this
fall. The Grant people take this a.
an open def against the party by the
Clark faction and they anticipate >
general house cleaning time of it this
fall.
Incidentally it is a question if the
Democrats will not elect the justice
of the peace John Boutwell,, the Re.
publican candidate for this office may
not be entitled to the position even
If he receives a majority of votes, for
the reason that he was one of the Of,
ficers at the primaries when he was 4
candidate. 1t is claimed that this will
disbar him from accepting the place.
The Democrats are talking Of putting
John Hayes against Boutwell,.

which was rebated to the Colorado
Fuel Co. The injunction against reb-
citing was directed against the Atchis
on, and was aimed at the Colorado
Fuel Case. Unlike the other roads
that obeyed the injunction, the system
OF rebating on the Atchison continued
The interstate commerce commission
agrees with the president that the
Atchison ought to be proceeded a.
gainst. 1t does not agree with him
that the Harvester company case is
or a par with it.
In another important point, the in
ter-state commerce commission con-
tiovert the statement of the president.
President Roosevelt. in his letter to
Secretary Morton says that Morton
and Morton alone, had the courage
tc appear before the interstate COM
L!erce commission and admit the prac-
tce OF rebating on the part of the
railroads. The admissions relating
to rebating were made at the hearings
IN Kansas City and Chicago, in the
fall of 1901. Subordinates had previ-
ouslyy denied the existence of the
Iebating system and the commission
ers concluded to no longer deal with
them. They summoned the highest
officials. The officials also held a con-
ference in advance of their appearance
before the commission and concluded
to make clean breast of it. Morton
was only one of many to give his testi-
many to the effect desired.

.ROUV|ER'S NOTE ON
MOROCCO QUESTION
is THOUGHT TO BE cREDITABLE
TO FRANCE.
Believed to Be of Such a Nature That
Germany Will Be Compelled
to Heed.

Chicago, June PA special cable
gram to the Daily News from Paris
says
"Rouvier's note to Germany on the
Moroccan question, which was deliv-
cred yesterday" said a former minis
ter, who is high in the premier's con-
f.dence, to your correspondent this
morning, "is intended to demonstrate
that France has always declared itself
favorable to the policy of the open
door in Morocco, as well as to freer
competition in every sense of the
word. 1t will also snow tint the treaties
signed with the sultan, Spain and Eng
land are not OF such a nature as to
rocco.
"Rouvier also explains that France
was under the necessity of celebrating
a project for Moroccan reforms that
would allow the sultan to re-establish
his weakened authority. France is
shown to have been great sufferer
from the state of internal insurrection
iii Morocco, and therefore to have a
right to put an end to insecurity on its
Algerian border. The note is charac
tcrized by calmness and dignity, which
will rebound to the credit of the
French government when published,
considering the acuteness of the crisis,
which, in my opinion, has not yet
passed"
What will be Germany's attitude af-
ter Rouvier's note has been received?"
is the question that is being eagerly
asked in political circles this morning.
With few exceptions confidence is ex-
pressed that Germany will recognize
that it will occupy still worse post
IRE than at present from the stand
point of aggressiveness il it should
refuse to give the preliminary assur-
ances France asks before agreeing to
the conference. These assurances, how
ever, cannot be definite. That is un-
derstood on this side of the Rhine; but
Rouvier is forced to require general
assurances that the program will not
involve violation of the French agree
ments with England and Spain.

RESP|TED AT ELEVENTH HOUR
For The Third Time Since Condemned TO Die For
Husbands Murder, Mrs Rogers is
Granted a Repreve

Windsor, VT, June 23.-Mary Rog-
ers has again been saved from the
gallows at the 18th hour. For the
third time since she was sentenced
to die the condemned woman has
been reprieved, the last time this aft
ernoon, 20 hours before the time set
for her execution.
The federal government, through
Circuit Court Judge Wheeler, inter-
vened Governor Bell to avoid COM
plications, reprieved the woman until
December and the prevailing opin-
ion in the section is that Mary Rogers
will never suffer death now for the
crime Of which she stands committed.
Granted at o'clock this afternoon
the reprieve was at once placed in the
hands of Sheriff Peck. He will not
reach here until z o'clock tomorrow
morning so that Mary Rogers is not
yet aware officially of the sudden
change in her fortunes.
But the death watch has been re-
moved and tonight the prisoner
sleeps alone in darkened cell. Up
on his arrival here tomorrow Sheriff
Peck will read to her the new lease
of life.
After pondering on the case over
night Judge Wheeler today dismissed
the writ Of habeas corpus which was
taken out in the interest of the cor.
demned woman Monday.
