IMPORTANT HEARING
Akron Judge Hears Arguments At
lacking the State Depository
Law-Whieh May Have
Far-reaching Effect.

Akron, o., August 10--EveTy county
coming decision of Judge r. NJ. Wan
amaker, of the Summit Common
Pleas Court, in the injunction suit
brought by A. D. Alexander, as q
tax payer, against the Board of
County Commissioners, TO restrain
them from entering into contract
withe the Cleveland Trust Company
as a depository for the county funds.
The petitioner charges that the
state law bearing on the subject is
unconstitutional because that 1t
makes a distinction in favor of in
corporated banks and against un-
incorporated banks. firms and indi-
viduals.
The hearing before Judge Wana-
maker was completed late Wednes-
day, at which time the court an
nounced that he would give his de-
cision as soon as possible.
This is an unusually important
case" said Judge Wanamaker. 1T
involves all of the counties of the
state. Indeed it is a very important
public matter.
"The court further realizes, regard
less Of what its decision may be
that either party, against whom an
adverse decision may be rendered,
will ask for a review by appeal or
otherwise, in a higher court. | think
that the case should go to the highest
what is ordinarily done in such
cases."

At $50 tonight Frank Kowalslsi,

himself through the right temple.
Ever since the bank failed, Kowal-

him as il he we're in measure re-

the conduct of the banks affairs.
This is supposed to have caused
him to take his life as he is not
known to have any other grievance.

ONE MORE TRIP
TO THE CLOUDS

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 10.-It has
developed that Mrs. Minnie CrenI
shaw, 19 years old, who killed herself
here YESTERDAY by taking five grains
of strychnfne, was known to tna
world of stagedom and the sawdust
ring as Nellie Deyaugnan,' famous
as the first woman TO make q sue
cessful ascent in an airship as well
back riders ever connected with an
American circus. Added 10 these
striking successes the fact that sas
was alleged to have Tilted James
Sprecleles, a wealthy Los Angeles
resident, to wed blacksmith for
love made her life most spectacular,
and in death distinctly tragic. She
killed herself while under an intense
mental strain, said tq have been
brought about by the excitement she
had been forced to undergo while per-
forming feats Of daring
Purchasing the drug she walked to
her husbands place of employment,
talked to him several minutes, telling
him of her desire to make one more
trip beyond the clouds. Hardly had
she finished speaking when she took
the fatal dose. Upon the arrival o.
the physicians she was found laugh
ing and jesting with those around
her. She at first refused TO allow the
physicians to aid her, but when
stricken with severe commissions
later, she cried in agony for them to
save her life. All efforts were in
vain and within an hour she was a
corpse.

SAM
TAKES A HAND

Toledo, o.. August 1e.-For the first
time President Roosevelt has taken
a hand in the fight between the peo-
pie and the ice trusts, and is after
the Toledo ice trust and the railroads
back of it with the big stick.
Roosevelt has watched the fight of
Prosecutor Waehenheimer and Judge
Kinkade on the local ice trust since
its inception. Three weeks ago the
interstate commerce commission sent
Special Agent Luther M. Walter from
Washington to Toledo to investigate
the railroad connections with the ice
trust.
TO HAVE HEARING.
Walter spent week here quietly
hunting down the facts, and the re-
suit of his report was a decision Of
the interstate commerce commission
to have a hearing in Toledo August
IA. Commissioner Clements will be
here and possibly Commissioner Cock
erell.
The Ann Arber and Pere Marquette
railways, which are supposed to be
back of the Ohio ice trust because of
their control Of the natural ice supply
of Michigan, will be Investigated in
particular, and then in general the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, Big
Four, Detroit & Toledo South Shore,
Ohio Central Lines, the Pennsylvania
Pere Marquette, Glover Leaf, Wabash
Wheeling e Lake Erie and the
Toledo Railway e Terminal, all of
of which enter Toledo.
DEPUTIES BUSY.
1t will be an inquiry into the rates
and rebates on ice from Michigan.
The United States marshal's deputies
were busy Thursday and Friday serv-
! ing sCbPoenas, and it was discovered
| that the railroads had got wind Of
the coming investigation and had
spirited some of the important wit
nesses away. They are being pursued.
1t appeared that some of the biggest
officials in the Ann Arbor organized
the Toledo Ice & Coal Co., and that
was treasurer and general manager
of the ice company; GAc that by a
system of rebates and special priv
ileges to the Toledo Ice & Coal Co.
al competitors along the road were
frozen out of business until the To-
ledo company controlled the entire
ice business along the Ann Arbor;
and that the Pere Marquette then Sc
cured control of the ice business along
its line in the same way.
Then the ice trust was able to force
into the trust the little fellows who
did not harvest their own ice, but
had to buy it from the railroads or
the protected companies. Uncle Sans
investigation will probably drag from
cover the big fellows back of the con-
yicted Toledo ice men.

THE HARTMAN
Interests Retain Control
in the Wells Fargo
COMPANY.

New York, Aug. 10.-E. H. Harri-
man and the interests that he repre-,
sents have demonstrated that they
are still in control of the Wells-Far-
go company and whatever action they
may desire TO carry out is satisfac-
tory to the majority of stockholders,
The old board of directors was re-
elected. From the start it was plain
that the Hartman forces were in
direct control. In the annual report
President Evans stated that the net
earnings for the last fiscal year were
equivalent to 1881 per cent on the
capital stock.
Mr.. Untermeyer intimated that the
annual report of the corporation did
not show its true financial condition
and this was denied by the president
who insisted that during the past
year the company's operating ex-
penses had been increased enormous
ly because of the epidemic of yellow
fever in the south and the strong
competition in other fields.
None of the representatives of the
minority interests cared to discuss
their future plans, but it is rumored
that they are not yet through with
their efforts to have the dividends of
their company increased. They may
not have to resort to any drastic pro-
ceedings, however, as in financial
circles the report is current that the
board of directors will very soon ma
terially increase the dividends of the
corporation.

LINCOLN PARTY
Affected by Rejection Of Nomination
Certificates In Pennsylvania.

Harrisburg, Pa. Aug. 10.-The ac-
tion of Secretary of the Common
wealth McAfee in rejecting the nomi-
nation certificate of the Lincoln
party will affect that organization all
over the state. In many of the
counties they did actually poll the
necessary two per cent, but owing TO
the fusicn arrangement the election
officers frequently punched their
votes with the Democrats, whose
nominees we're the same. The state
department, however, cannot go back
of the official returns, which give the
Lincoln party the right to nominate
by convention in only the following
counties: Bedford. Bradford, Bucks,
Cambria, Cameron, Chester, Delaware,
Erie Lancaster, Lawrence, Lycom-
ing, Mexican, Montgomery, Northamp-
ton, Northumberland, Philadelphia,
