the better class of citizens reside,
while the downtown wards went solid

Democrat, is noted municipal re-
former. He was a candidate for Lieut..
governor on the Democratic ticket in
1904 but was defeated. The labor
element were against Jenkinson who
is large cigar manufacturer, as he
was charged with running an open
shop"
During the day nearly a score OF
election boards were brought into
court on bench warrants, charging
them with illegal practices. The po,
lice department, with the exception of
Superintendent Thomas b. Werner,
who announced himself for Jenkin,
son and was relieved from duty, were
lined up for Guthrie by the Citizens
administration and did good work at
the polls. Guthrie is pledged to a
non-partisan platform.
During the day the police and detec,
tives rounded up nearly 200 alleged
repeaters in the cheap downtown lodg
ing houses, who it was claimed were
brought to Pittsburg to vote for Jen,

That Parts Are Too
Drastic

way. of Indiana, made his maiden
speech in the senate today. 1t was
on the pure food bill He urged proper
restrictions against deleterious matter
but thought the measure did not pro-
vide proper safeguards, there being
an opportunity for too drastic action
by an over-zealous official
But the laugh was on him later.
The senator. who still remembers the
customs of the house of representa-
tives from which he was recently pro-
NOTED. referred Inadvertently several
times to Mr. Hepburn, in charge of
the bill. as the gentleman from Ida

lower body.
Realizing his slip he turned to Mr..
Hepburn: 81 hope the senator from
Idaho will pardon my, referring to him
as gentleman Mr.. Hepburn Joined
in the laugh that went up.
Mr.. Spooner pointed out many pro-
visions which he contended were too
drastic. He thought there should be
a different grade of punishment for
the sale of false goods and those which
were injurious
"a slight imprisonment might cover
the case of man cheating the pub
lic," he declares, "but there ought to
be a long one for the assassination
Of the health of men, women and chill
dren."
Announcement was made of the
death of Representative Castor, of
Pennsylvania, and after committee
had been selected to attend the fun
eral, the senate adjourned.

DIVORCE CONGRESS
ADOPTS RESOLUTION AGAINST
MIGRATORY" DEGREES
Proposition Caused Warm Debate Dur
ing Which South Dakota Dele
gates Scored New York
Laws

Washington, Feb. 20.-After bitter
fight the Congress of Uniform Divorce
Laws this afternoon adopted that
clause OF the report of the resolution
committee against migratory" dl-
vorce. The fasteners pointed thefinger
of scorn at the South Dakota dele
gates because people from all over
the country flock there to get divorce.
The New Workers Joined with the
Pennsylvanians in declaring for a
resolution that courts should not give
cognizance to suits where the PLAIN
tiff was domiciled.. in a foreign. jur-
isdfction at the time the cause of COM
plant arose, unless the cause was
ground for divorce in such foreign
jurisdiction.
such fiendish, rigid laws against di-
vorce that your people must come to
our state to- be absolved honorably
from the unbearable bonds" was the
reply of the South Dakota delegates.
I'm not married" responded Dean
Huffcot, of Cornell University, so
never had a divorce, but understand
a divorce can be obtained in New
York for nearly every reason an alb
Solute divorce is granted in South
Dakota. Those who go to South Da-
kota to get divorce think hope will
triumph over experience and they
want to be married again"
After repeated attempts to amend
the resolution to lay it on the table
and to adjourn, it was finally adopt
ed by substantial majority.
Resolutions setting forth that no
federal divorce law is feasible, and
that every state shouldd adopt legisla-
tion restricting the remedies afford
ed by its statutes of divorce to it's own
citizens, were also adopted.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Stark-Tuscarawa Brew
ing company was held on Tuesday at

land and as was outlined in the News
some months ago John Rommel was
made president of the company.
The number of the directors was
reduced from fifteen to twelve and
the two foreign bankers who promot-
ed the deal dropped out as well as
Schott of Massillon.

pleased with the business done.
By John Rommel taking the presi-
dency of the company the position of
manager of the Canton branch, which
position has heretofore been held by
him, was vacant and Edward Rommel
was elected to fill the vacancy. Elk
cept the changes outlined there is no
change in the officials who held office
during the past year.
1t is said informally that there is a
possibility of one of the plants near
Canal Dover being closed. The com.
bine has two plants within three miles
of each other and it is thought by
some that a saving could be made by
closing down cne of them.
