FROM Ohio
Halls the Man Who
Tackled Notices on Of
fees of Rich Men Gall
ing Them Plunderers
and Wreckers.

Akron, o., July 9.-Mr. Morrison l.
Swift who attracted so much atten-
tion in New York Saturday by tacking
placards on the doors of the Standard
Oil Co., at rs Broadway, and at the
Offices of j. p. Morgan & Co., attack
ing the rich men of the country as
'plunderers of the people" and wreck
ers of the Nation" and who stated to
the police that he was from Ohio is a
nephew of John McGregor, of Pros
pect street. Mr.. Swift was a student
at the Western Reserve Academy when
1t was located at Hudson. He was a
very studious young man and was very
intense in his convictions. He is be-
tween 48 and so years old. The fol-
lowing account of his actions Saturday
is taken from the New York Times:
Written placards attacking the rich
men of the country as "plunderers of
the people" and 'wreckers of the Ma
ton" were posted on the doors of
the Offices of J. p Morgan & Co., at
Broad and Wall streets, and the
Standard Oil Company, at 26 Broad
way, yesterday afternoon. A we'll
dressed man, 35 years old, put up the
placards. After he had finished his
work he harangued q crowd in front
of the Morgan offices and scattered
pamphlets denouncing the rich He
created SO much disturbance that Pa
trolman Roth of the Old Slip Police
Station arrested him.
He was later arraigned before Mag
istrate Cornell in the Tombs court,
and he and the magistrate had a lively
discussion as to the nickedness of
millionaires. The man said his name
was Morrison l. Swift, but refused to
tell anything more about himself, ex-
cept to say that he was an author and
a native of Ohio.
He was evidently well educated, and
conducted himself in a quiet and or
derby manner. The magistrate asked
him why he had chosen the Morgan
and Standard Oil offices for his pla-
cards:
Because they are owned by the two
greatest thieves of the whole lot They
are typical representatives of a pi-
ratical system that is rapidly draining
the resources of the nation"
Then Swift handed the magistrate
copy of the leaflet he had distributed.
1t was entitled, AN Arrangement OF
American Wealth Kings" and pur-
ported to name the crimes" they had
committed. The rich were called such
names as cultures in human FORM"
and were said to be owners and driv-
ers of slave drivers of venaI United
States senator's, whippers and suborn-
ers of legislatures, steerers of judges,
from the perf1dious supreme court, to
the suppliant petty court"
Magistrate Cornell fined Swift $40
which he paid.

WORK STOPPED ON
THE BOLIVAR CUTOFF

Work on the Bolivar-Dalton cutoff
has been stopped for few days. The
men quit work Saturday morning.
One of the steam shovels was brought
from Bolivar to Massillon Saturday
afternoon and was taken to Dalton
Monday morning. 1t is probable that
the men will be back in a few days,
as after pay day they generally take
a few days layoff. The grading of
the new cutoff is being pushed
through rapidly, and will be finished
this month.

TEST CASE
Will Be Made by Bren-
nell, Convicted OF Prac-
ticing Medicine Con-
trary to the Laws of
the State.

The motion for new trial in the
case of Ohio against A. F. Brennell,
the neuro-magnetic healer, was argued
by Attorney Sterling for the defend
ant and Assistant Prosecuting Attor-
ney McCulloch for the state before
Probate Judge Bow Tuesday afternoon
in court room No. 3.
The defendant was convicted about
ten days ago for unlawfully engaging
in the practice of medicine. he having
treated a Massillon lady recently u.s.
ing the system of rubbing and knead-
ing the body.
Upon the close of the arguments of
counsel Judge Bow overruleG the de-
fendant's motion for new trial and
passed sentence upon the Defendant.
The court ordered the defendant to
pay fine of 500 and costs of prosecu
tion and to stand committed until
fine and costs are paid.
Section 4403f of the revised statutes
of Ohio, under which the information
was filed, and which defines what is
meant by practicing medicine, pro-
vides, whoever shall recommend for
fee for like use any drug, or medi-
cine, appliance, application, operation
or treatment, of whatever nature, for
the cure or relief of any wound, frac-
ture or bodily injury infirmity or dis
ease. shall be deemed and accepted
as prima facie proof of an intent on
| the part of such person to represent
himself as engaged in the practice of
medicine or surgery or midwifery"
In the 65th Ohio state report, page
181, the supreme court rules that "the
system of urbbing and kneading the
| body, commonly known as oSteop-
athy Is comprehended within the prac
tice of medicine defined by Section
| 4403f of the revised statutes as am.
ended by the act of April ID, 1900"
Again, in the 72nd Ohio state re-
port, page 81, the supreme court holds
that "the giving of Christian Science
treatment, for a fee, for the cure of
| disease, is practicing medicine with
the meaning of the statute regulat-
\ ing such practice in this state"
In passing sentence, Judge Bow re
marked that he was surprised that
the legislature had in their act gone
so far in defining the practice of medi-
| cine and used the term treatment of
! whatever nature" The court further
stated, III this court were called up
on to construe the law, he would not
permit the verdict of guilty to stand
but the law having been construed by
the supreme court their ruling will
have to be followed by an inferior
court"
After the court had pronounced sen,
tence upon the defendant. Attorney
Sterling in behalf of his client asked
for suspension of sentence, stating
"the case will be taken to the su.
preme court if necessary and made q
| test case"

CLOSED OFFICES
Are Being Reopened by the Wheeling
& Lake Erie at Many Points.

After having had a number of its
telegraph Offices and stations closed
for several months the Wheeling and
Lake Erie has started to open some
of them again and notices to that
effect are being received at the local
Offices. Early last fall the telegraph
office and station at Brilliant were
closed on an order from b. A. Worth
ington, vice president and general
manager. An order was received yes
terday in which the statement was
made that effective at once the pas
senger station and the day telegraph
office at Brilliant would be re-opened
again at once. Several of the other
Offices along the line between War
renton and Canton have been reopened
during the past couple of months, and
1t is understood that on account of
the increase in business there is a
possibility that some more of those
closed during the past winter will be
opened In a short time.[ An order to
the effect that the telegraph office
at Stribgers Pit, between Martins Fer
ry and Warrenton had been closed
was also issued the last of the week.

Magelssen first exhibited his dis
covery at the British Museum in 1894.
and on June % of that year Cecil
Smith, director OF the department of
Greek and Roman antiquities wrote to
him, with true British conservatism, as
follows:

cries. First with regard to the clay

measure their extraordinary dexterity.
Secondly. as regards the building up
OF the design, especially of large terra
Gotta figures If material exists such
as you claim to have discovered, which
can be found to answer all require
ments of a core, which will be plastic
and strong, and yet burn out under
firing. that seems to me an ideal ma
terial for a modeler of hollow terra
Gotta work and one which I think was
hitherto entirely unknown.
From what you tell nae. the traces
which have remarked on the interior
OF Greek terra Gotta seem to prove
that you have rediscovered in this ma
teriai what the Greeks knew-and I
must allow that it is difhcuit on any
other theory to explain the process of
