FOXY PLAN DECIDED upon BY
/ CONGRESSMAN KENNEDY
He Has Decided Not to Make Public the Names OF
His Delegates His Opposition Considered
Serious.

not see any necessity for naming the
delegates at any great length of time
previous to the convention, and then
made the signincant remark that:
Neither Speaker nor Grant has
named his delegates, and ] think it
good politics to wait. ] believe ! am
entitled to name delegates in certain
precincts in both Columbiana and
Stark counties, where had a majority
of votes at the primaries, although
this right may be disputed by an at
tempt to enforce the unit rule"
Equally as much mystery as at
taches to the naming of delegates at
taches to action to be taken by the
congressional committee in the selec-
tion of the place of holding the con-
vention.
John p. Hazlett, who is the Mahon-
ing county member of the committee,
says he has no information as to
when the committee will be called to
meet for the purpose of deciding on
the place of holding the convention.
Stark county member and the chair
man of the committee and Ed King,
who is private secretary to Congress
man Kennedy, is the member Of the
committee from Columbiana county.
1t is understood that Congressman
Kennedy fayors Youngstown as the
place for holding the convention and
it being known that members of the
committee are friendly with the Ma
honing county candidate it is prob
able that his wishes as regards the
place of holding the convention will
be agreed with.
Youngstown has not in many years
been made the place for holding the
congressional convention for the dis
trict and the Republican politicians
now feel that the honor is due this
city.

THE. CA. MERGER
Formal Transfer Expected to Take
Place In About Six Weeks.
asw Company to Be
Formed.

Cleveland, O., July 22.-The con-
Bents of the stockholders OF the Can
ton-Akron company agreeing to the
consolidation of the road with lhe
Northern Ohio have been obtained and
it is expected that the formal trans
fer will take place in about six weeks.
Nearly all OF the Canton-Akron stock
is held in Boston. This stock was
given as bonus when the bonds OF
the company were floated and the ex-
change of the same for Northern Ohio
stock at about $50 market value is
considered good deal for the Canton
Akron people.
IT is understood that plan will be
formulated to embrace all of the trac-
tion interests in the northeastern part
of the state in new company for
which new bond and stock issues will
be offered the public. The condition OF
affairs in the city of Cleveland has
had quite dispiriting effect upon
street railway securities for it is very
evident that Johnson has the "Concon"
in hole and the loss to the investor
in the watered stock of that company
will be heavy unless there is change
in conditions The city of Cleveland
wants the fares regulated upon a
basis of actual value of the property
and not upon the watered stock and
bond issues so common to street rail-
way propositions.
If Johnson succeeds there is fear
that other cities will take up the
fight along similar lines and the fu-
ture of street railway promoters be
made a dreary waste. The suburban
franchises and private rights of way
of the Northern Ohio furnishes val
liable asset and is not subjected to the
violent fluctuations in values like that
of the old lines in the city of Cleve-
land.

Youngstown, O., July 22.-Congress-
man James Kennedy will play foxy in
his fight for denomination as Repub-
lican congressional candidate from
this district.
1t has apparently been made plain
to the Mahoning county candidate
that the opposition of Mr. Speaker,
Of Columbiana and Mr.. Grant OF
Stark has become serious and that IL
the unit rule is enforced in the, con-
yention, that it will be necessary tor
him to have something up his
sleeve" IL he hopes to land the nom
ination.
Although the congressional conven-
tion is but few days more than a
month away, Congressman Kennedy
has not named the delegates from the
county to the convention, which priv
ilege was won by him as result OF
the primaries at which he was win
ner in every precinct in the city and
county except the Berlin Center pre-
cinct, where majority of the votes
cast were for Mr. Grant, but there
is a dispute about the right of Mr..
Grant to name the delegate from that
precinct owing to the fact that he had
not paid the assessment which would
entitle him to have his name on the
primary ticket,
Asked about the naming of dele
gates from this county to the con-
gressional convention Congressman
Kennedy said that he had decided not
to announce his delegates until i'm
mediately before the day of holding
the convention, and would perhaps
make no newspaper announcement
previous to the convention, notifying
the delegates personally.
Why this secrecy should be main
tanned Congressman Kennedy offers
no explanation other than that he did

HOW OLD is TENIE?
Rather Than Tell Court She Goes to
Jail.

Columbus, o., July 22.-Rather than
tell her age, Miss Tenie Frestoe, a
waitress at the American hotel, went
to Jail. She was defendant in an
attachment suit and one of the first
questions counsel for the opposing
side put to her was How old are
you?"
With a twitch of her nose she
promptly replied
"It is none of your business"
The court ordered her to answer
the question, warning her of the
punishment provided for her defiance,
but she steadily refused to reply.
Court then sent her to jail for con-
tempt. She was later released on a
writ of habeas corpus, but her age
Is still mystery.
