HAS SEEN A LIGHT.
SENATOR DICK CALLS OFF THE
PROPOSED CONFERENCE AT
COLUMBUS, o.
HE SAYS THE MEETING WOULD
DO NO GOOD. AS ITS PURPOSES
HAVE BEEN MlsREPREsENTED

Akron. O.-Following is Senator
Dicks statement issued Monday might
calling off Wednesdays conference:
When, as chairman of the Ohio re-
publican state executive committee, l
invited conference of the state cen
teral and executive committees, Of
the chairmen of the republican county
executive committees, of elective
state officers, and of the republican
members of congress, to be held at
Columbus, Wednesday, May 10, l then
assumed entire responsibility for the
call, as | now assume entire RESPONSE
bility for an indefinite postponement
of that meeting. 1t seems proper,
however, that brief explanation
should be made.
THE conference was called with no
purpose of ratifying any deal, bargain,
or compromise, for there was none,
but to secure party harmony and
unity of purpose among the republic
ans of Ohio and to allay party strife
and contention. This, it was believed,
could be done by full, frank and con-
siderate exchange of opinion in so
representative a gathering, and final
ly the adoption of some public express
sion, voicing as nearly as might be
the ascertained sentiment OF Ohio re-
publicans. There was no intention of
assuming to do more than to recon-
mend united action among Ohio re-
publicans, and no purpose to attempt
ITO dictate or even endorse, or still less
nominate the party choice or candi-
dates.
1T was never meant to have the
conference assume the functions of
the state convention or encroach upon
any rights or privileges of individual
republicans. Nor was it supposed that
there would be any arbitrary action
binding the great body of republicans
and no such action was contemplated,
as careful reading of the call will
show. Certainly the conference could
exercise no function beyond that of
recommendation.
The purpose of this meeting has
been misunderstood by some and mis-
represented by others, and thus it
has met with some opposition and
'disfavor and in other cases animos-
ity Therefore, having become con-
WINGED that the desired restoration of
complete party harmony through
unanimity of action by such confer.
ence would be impossible at this
time, l postpone the meeting indefi-
nitely."
Senator Dick feels that he has done
all possible to bring about peace and
as chairman of the executive commit
tee now leaves the matter to the
party.

ARE AFRAID OF ROOSEVELT.
Hosiery Manufacturers Fear that If
They Combine to Fix Prices the
"Big Stick Will be Used
on Them.

Philadelphia, Pa. = The National
Association of Hosiery Manu-
facturers opened convention here
Monday which will continue a week.
About 300 manufacturers from vari-
GUS parts of the country are in attend
ance Most of the sessions will be
secret, but it is admitted that the
chief object of the meetings is to se-
cure an advance for the makers of
hosiery. A Is per cent. raise in
prices will be discussed at one of the
open sessions, as will also the subject
of reciprocity with Germany.
One of the papers read Monday was
by Fred l.. Simons. His subject was
association work and in discussing
conditions he said it was not possible
for the manufacturers to fix prices.
They might, he said, fix values, but if
an attempt be made to fix prices the
members would come into disrepute
at Washington and get "the man with
the big stick after them"

GUESTS MAKE THE HOTEL.
"comfort" of old-Time Inns Wouida
Not Be Tolerated To-day.

Among the silly and absurd articles
appearing from time to time concern
ing hotel and tavern keeping one tells
us again and again how the modern
hotel is shown to disadvantage when
compared with the inns of colonial
days, says the Hotel World. In these
articles the writer dilates and expiates
on the hospitality of the old-time tav-
ern and the cold, Indifferent and al
most cruel treatment received from.
the hands of the modern hotel man.
OF course, everyone knows, If he will
drop sentiment for a moment and
give the subject a little sober refec-.
ton, that the modern traveller, tour
ist or hotel guest would absolutely re-
fuse the accommodations afforded by
the inn of one hundred years ago. The,
only advantage of a hotel of these
times lay in the fact that the lack OF
material comforts drew from the trav-
eler warmer fellow feeling and
greater sociability-a condition in
which one man was more his brothers.
keeper than prevails to-day. Again,
the travel by coach and the small
number thrown together, en- route or
at the hotel, made closer acquaint-
anceship not only possible but far
more desirable than in our day of big.
hotels and big crowds.
The modern hotel is a product of
the times. The wants, desires, whims.
fads and, on top of all these, the i'm
perative demands of those who travel
have made the hotel of to-day what
1t is from the standpoint of food ac-
commodations, method Of service and
management, and from every point OF
view. The hotel keeper Of to-day
responds to the bidding Of the
guests. One might almost say of the.
man and woman who travel: Here
is your hotel; you have planned it,.
furnished it; you have outlined it's
methods of management, and it is.
what you believe should be compre-
hended in the modern hotel"
The colonial tavern, which would
not be tolerated for moment in our
days, was adapted to its times; to
: speak of it as being superior to the
modern hostelry is to claim that the
old stage coach, which left you more
weary and worn at the end of 100
miles than the palace coach does to-
day at the end of 1000 miles, was a.
superior vehicle of travel to those
used in the modern railroad.

Sues for s1oo. 600 DAMAGES.

Columbus, o., May 11.-William T.
Spaeth, OF Chicago, on Friday filed
suit in the United States court here
for 100000 damages against Lewis
Sells and Sheriff George j. Karb, of
Columbus, for alleged false arrest in
Cleveland, May IA, 1906, on an alleged
groundless charge of embezzling
funds of the Forepaugh-Sells circus in
North Carolina. Spaeth says he was
locked in jail two days and was made
to furnish $1,000 bond. He claims the
expense of being liberated was SLIGO.
Spaeth was in the employ of the Fore
paugh-Sells firm at the time the cir
Gus was robbed of 100000 three years
ago, and the embezzlement charge
was the outgrowth of this robbery.

Youngstown, o., May 14.-Infirmary
Director John K. Wier is out with a
statement that all of the abuses at the
Garfield infirmary can be traced di-
rectly to Superintendent Taylor, who,
he declares, is incompetent and
should be removed. The attaches Of
the place, he says, have been called
together and testified just as was re-
ported by the grand jury. The male
inmates testified to the board that
they were covered with vermin, and
that the TRUSTEES" paid little atten-
tion to the sick. One patient was
found to have been strapped to bed
until a few minutes before his death.
Wier has asked for the resignation of
the superintendent, but complains
that neither of the other two men,
bers of the board will vote with him.

Farmers Corpse Found in Well.

GAINESVILLE, O., May 1o-A gray hair
found in a dish of greens" being
served for dinner led to the discovery
of the body of Edward Wetherall a
farmer who had been missing for a
week, in the well at his home near
Stockport, Thursday. While suffering
from mental arrangement Wetherall
disappeared and the countryside
searched for him in vain. Thursday
his wife prepared dish of greens
and while serving II discovered gray
hair that appeared to her like those
on the head OF her husband. The
thought entered her mind that she
had used water drawn from the well
in the yard in preparing the greens"
and her husband might be there. A
search proved that her surmise was
correct.
