TESTING PENSION LAWS

Columbus, Feb. 27.-The results of
the new service pension law enacted
by congress February are already be-
coming apparent at the local pension
agency. This law provides for
monthly payment of $12 to pensioners
of 62 to 70 years of age; SIS for those
20 to rs years and 500 for those rs
years and over. 1t also includes all
the Mexican veterans, of which there
are but few surviving.
The first case filed here was on Feb
ruary 9. and since then dozen or
more have been filed. The probable
ity is that there will be goodly num-
ber, as most of the veterans of the
civil war are now over 62 years of
age. Blanks have been furnished the
local office in which the veterans are
expected to make their applications
for service pensions. There are vet
Grams who draw pensions at the local
agency so years of age and one or
two who have reached the age of S5
and sc.

FITz GAVE HIM A SCARE

Marion, Ind, Feb. 27.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons, the champion light middle
weight prize fighter filled dramatic
engagement in Marion last night, the
first since he was initiated into the
local lodge of Elks, which resulted In
the lodge losing It's charter and caus-
ing the expulsion of two presiding
officers.
Fitzsimmons was hoisting highballs
yesterday with a party of friends at
the bar hotel, at which he was stop
ping, when porter, who was sweep
ing the floor jostled him. Fltz said:
Brush by; don't be humping into me. Z"
This offended the porter, who did not
know the lanky customer was a ia
nous prize fighter. The porter was
angry and declared that he would not
stand for any bluff Lanky Bob told
him that he would fight provided he
trained, down to. weight.
FitZ then walked out and the porter
was told that the man whom he had
challenged to fight was the man who
had whipped Corbett The porter was
so frightened that he hid in the base
ment of the hotel until Fitzsimmons
retired for the night.

CAN TON MEN
We're Original lncorpo-
rators of Concern
Which WillLocate
IN THE CITY OF AKRON

Akron, O., Feb. 27.-Through the
efforts Of T. A. Hockwalt, new in
dustry is soon to be added to the many
of which the city of Akron already
boasts. The officers of the Nationai
Cooperative company, a concern in
corporated originally by Canton men,
have decided to locate in this city, and
Wednesday were engaged in looking
for a site. The company incorpor-
ated for $4,000.
At meeting held Tuesday even
ing in Mr.. Hockwalt's Offices in the
Dobson block, and which was at
tended by manysCanton and Barberton
men, and about a dozen local drug
gists, the plans of the promoters were
discussed at some length, and prepar-
ations made for the installation of
a plant here. The company will oc-
cupy about $4,000 feet of floor space
at the start, and win manufacture
drugs and medicines of various kinds.
1t is proposed to interest as many
Akron druggists as possible as the
concern is to operate upon cooper
ative plan.

TEXAS FAVoRITE SON.

Texas is clearly to have six more
years of Joseph w. Bailey as senator.
That is no surprise, since such clev-
er trickster as Bailey could certainly
have found some way to wriggle out
of his promise to resign in case the
investigation of his dealings with the
Standard Oil company had resulted in
a vote unfavorable to him. He has
handled his defense during the last
two months in what may well be call
ed a mastery manner from the point
of view of those who believe that sue
cess with disgrace is next best thing
to success without disgrace.
A year ago Bailey had as spotless a
reputation as ever paraded the streets
of Washington under a fine coat of
whitewash He could hold hands with
the wicked trusts in a dark corner
of the corridor and assail them pub
licly in the senate chamber, and no
body winked as he did it. He could
even lecture his betters in a most
superior way. Since then he has
been shown up in his true colors; he
has been caught in falsehoods, he has
given all his energies to blocking in
vestigation and he has been "vindicat-
ed" by a snap judgment of the state
senate, passed before his investiga-
tors made their report, land without
a chance being given for free discus
sion The lower house of the legisla-
ture is yet to be heard from, but that
makes no difference, for any kind of
a yindication seems good enough for
Bailey, and half a vindication would
certainly make him feel warranted in
holding on to a good job as long as
possible.
: II is hard on Texas In the federal
senate Bailey will have less power for
e-Al than heretofore, because he is
known for what he is. But in Texas
Hailey will be a symbol of what the
state delights in He will be a living
witness to the hypocrisy of whole
state; unless, that is, the people de-
eide to punish the Legislature at the
next elections by retiring all the lead
ing Bailey supporters from further
service. 1t remains for the people of
Texas to vindicate themselves.-Chi-
cago Record-Herald.

stockholders, alleging misrepresenta-
tion and fraud, showed transfers OF
stock in the company to- Nils p. Hau-
gen, former state tax commissioner,
and Governor James o. Davidson, for
which 1t is charged they paid nothing
except the influence their names upon
lists of stockholders might have on in
vestors.
Seller asserted that he gave the
stock to both for their influence in
promoting further stock sales. Seller
testified that he personally paid the
company for the stock. 1t was shown
that an attempt was made to ap-
proach Joseph Boschert, cashier of a
local bank, upon a similar basis.

IN LIQUOR Case
Wayne County Judge Sustained De-
cisIon of the Mayor.


Millersburg, o., Feb. 27--Judge
Nicholas handed down his decision
last night in case of state VS.. John
p. Thomas, which was taken up on
error from the decision of Mayor
Shaw, who found Thomas guilty of
selling Intoxicating liquor in dry
town and assessed fine on him Of
SIS and costs.
Judge Nicholas sustained the mayor
on every point. The liquor sold was
called "Vivo" and is made by brew
ing company in Milwaukee to be used
in dry towns and which the defendant
backed by the brewing company, at
tempted to show was not Intoxicating.
On motion of the attorneys for state,
Judge Nicholas struck the whole bill
of exceptions from the files and this
only left the sufficiency of the com
plant in question on matter of alle-
CATION of date of time of offense, but
this was settled recently in a deci-
sion of the circuit court in this dis
trict. The case will probably go into
circuit court.
This case was a test one on this
drink called "Vivo," and was contest
ed by the brewing company of MIL
waukee and it's agents and attorneys
everywhere. The. temperance people
of Ashland and other towns have
suits pending against sellers of this
stuff and will now move in their pros
ecution. The temperance people here
are elated over the decision of Judge
Nicholas against Thomas and others
who sold this substitute for beer.

THE ORIENT
Or Vancouver Probable
Goal of New Britain
Absconder.
.PINKERTON STATEMENT

New York, Feb. 27-The Pinkerton
detective agency announced this even
ing that William F. Walker. the alb
sconding treasurer of the New Britain
Savings bank, who got away with
$500, 600 of the institutions negotiable
securities had been seen on February
1S at Portland Oregon, and the prob
abilities are that the fugitive made
good his escape either to Vancouver or
to the Orient. The Pinkertons would
not reveal the name of the man who
saw Walker. This man had known
Walker by sight, but at the time he
saw him in Portland he did not know
that the treasurer had looted the
bank and was a fugitive from justice.
Finally he saw the stories about
Walker in the newspapers and he no
titled the clerk of the hotel where
Walker had put up the identity of his
late guest.
Walker, according to the Pinkertons,
had registered at the Portland house
as w. G. Settler on the evening of
February 18, and asked to be called
so that he could catch. the s: 80 train.
He left early on the morning of the
10Th and did not return although it
was discovered upon investigation that
there was no railroad train that left
Portland at the hour which he named
When the man who said he was sure
he had seen Walker told the clerk of
guest a message was sent to the Pink
ertons in this city. They Immediately
ordered some of their western agents
to take up the case, but thus far they
When photograph of the absconder
was shown to the clerk of the hotel
the Pinkertons say that he identified
him at once as the man who regis
tered as w. G. Sether. although Walk
er had changed his physical appear
ance considerably. His beard had been
shaved off and in it's place was a
growth of seven or eight days. His
gray mustasche was also closely
trimmed. He also had on an en-
tirely different makeup of clothing
than when last seen in this part: of
the country. He wore light slight
colored soft hat. tan shoes and dark
suit. AS Walker had plenty of time
to get away before the Pinkertons
were notified of his supposed visit to
Portland it is thought that the alb
sconder either took train to Seattle
and sailed for the far east or that he
went up into the British possessions in
the northwest. Up to today the Pink
ertons had said in all their talks for
publication about the Walker case
that in their opinion the fugitive was
either in New York or some place
close by it.

SENSA ION
At Panama Caused. by
the News Of CoethaIs'
Appointment.
STEVENS IS RETICENT

Panama, Feb. 27-Considerabl of a
sensation has been caused here by the
news of the appointment of Major
Coethals to succeed Chief Engineer
Stevens as the constructor of the Pan
anna canal. Mr.. Stevens is reticent
regarding his resignation. He says
that the authorities at Washington can
explain his motives The news of the
change OF engineers was entirely un-
expected and IL acted like bomb
shell in ofReial circles in the canal
zone. Following so closely upon Mr..
Shonts' retirement from the canal
commission, II has caused widespread
comment. From present indications
1t is probable that there will be gen.
eral conflict throughout Central Am
erica unless the friendly Intervention
of the United States and Mexico proves
effective to stop further bloodshed.
