BICYCLE THIEVES BUSY

The bicycle thieves are still busy in
Canton and took possession OF a girls
bicycle which had been standing in
front Of a residence on North Market
street. The family TO whom II be-
longed were moving and the movers
had brought II out ready to put In the
van, but when their back was turned
some party took II upon himself to
see mat the article was properly NOV
ed, and In fact so complete a job was
done that no clue remains as 10 itn
whereabouts. The bicycle was not In
condition to ride which makes the
theft more stEGngc.
II appears as though, with the ad-
vent Of summer everyone who owns
u bicycle begins to think about haul
ing Il out OF winter storage and Of
preparing II for use Many people
too, who are not in possession OF that
desired article, waste no time In get
ting possession OF the same at the
loss Of the previous owner.

ENTIRE FAMILY
BURNED TO DEATH

Asheville. N. c., April 3.-Mrs. Mar
Gus Singerfelt and her family of five
children were burned TO death in
forest fire which destroyed their home
near Burkmont. Mrs. Singerfelts
husband, who is cripple. is believed
to have porishgd in like manner.
A few days ago his wife went to q
lumber camp near by and reported
that her husband had been missing
and could not be found. She believed
that he was overtaken by the forest
fires and was unable to escape. The
fires had been raging in the south
mountains for some time and as they
were drawing near the Singerfelt
home Mrs. Singerfelt was advised to
take her children and fee for safety.
The warning was not needed and their
home was burned some time during
the night. II is believed that the
mother and children were asleep when
the fire came and all were burned
alive.

THOUGHT INJUNCTION
WAS DISREGARDED

Massillon, o., April 3.-The eleya-
ton OF the Il. & o. tracks and the
contemplated laying OF an other track
through the city by that railroad
company were brought to the atten-
ton of the city's officials by George
Heppert. who lives north OF the city
along the tracks, Wednesday, when
he appeared before the board of pub
lie service TO protest against the NIL
ing up of the west approach TO the
B. & o. tracks on the Youngstown
Hill road. The board began filling up
the approach Wednesday morning and
intended to haul but few loads OF
dirt to make easier hauling over the
tracks, which have been raised sew
eral feet during the past year.
Mr.. Heppert was told OF the boards
intention and was also informed that
the city did not intend to injure his
property in the least. The work was
practically finished when Mr.. Heppert
made his complaint. He received the
explanation as satisfactory and said
that he sad felt previously that the
city was violating the provisions OF an
injunction which he had received
from the courts against the railroad

carcerated in an asylum should not be
on trial for his life, and that paran.
oiac, which he says Thaw is, may do
some things In a rational way. MI. Del.
mas took no part In the proceedings
at all today. He didn't go near the
criminal courts building. One OF the
Thaw lawyers said he was in his of.
fee preparing his summing up. Evi-

timation that he might be called upon
TO make his summing up tomorrow. II
that Is done, District Attorney Jer-
ONE will sum up on Friday and II is
probable that Justice Fitzgerald will
charge the jury on Saturday. There
was brief open session OF the com.
missi IN early in the morning. AS usu-
al r. elyn Nesbit Thaw was on hand,
this ime wearing her blue gown. Dur
ing the rest Of the day while the
commission was In secret session she
sat outside of the courtroom. She was
very amiable and took lively inter
est In everything that was going on.
AT her right~wrist she wore small
watch. DR.. Allen Ross Defender was
the first witness called at the open
session. He said that Thaw had delu.
sions at the time he killed White and
that he Is now incapable of advising
with his counsel. Mr.. Jerome started
to read some of the extracts from the
document Thaw sent to Mr.. Delmas to
aid him in summing up. but Mr.. Hart
ridge accused him of trying to get
things into the newspapers. DR.. def
endorf told Dr. Putzef that he thought
some of the notes might be errors of
judgment and not signs of insanity at
all. The witness was asked number
OF questions by the commissioners.
Chairman Mcclure wanted to know
how Mr.. Diefendorf could reconcile

The stories circulated throughout
the country at the present time about
large campaign funds contributed by
corporations is now being repeated in
England. The house OF commons has
had up for discussion the relation be-
tween campaign funds and legislation.
And a long debate involving over a
dozen speeches has only been enough
10 show that a more thorough argu-
ment is necessary. SDuring the mu-
nlcipal elections in London recently
a political organization was at work
in behalf Of the candidates who were
opponents to the progressive or mu-
nicipal ownership party. A London
street car company subscribed $1,000
20 this society and entered the amount
on their books under "Sundry ex-
penses not classed," so that It was eff
fectively hidden. The facts got be-
fore the public with the further fact
that private bill in behalf Of the
read was pending in parliament, The
Liberals moved In the house Of com
mons to the eject that mo bills can
be satisfactory to this house which
confers increased powers on a
railroad company which has subscrib-
ed out OF It's funds towards a political
organization" The directors OF the
railroad company Immediately refund
ed the money out OF their pockets.
The corporations came In for a round |
scoring and the whole transaction was !
ridiculed by the press of England. !
II the experience Of the United States
is considered worth observing In Eng
land such gifts from corporations,
however big or little will be stopped
at the start II is much easier TO
stop these scandals at the beginning
than after they are allowed to grow.

INTERESTS OF THE
PEOPLE DRAGGING
Case Against Standard
Oil Moves Slowly and
Judge demonstrates.

Chicago, April 3.---How the Standard
OIL rebate trial In the United States
district court is slowly dragging day
by day, was shown today by Judge
Lands, when he became impartient
and urged the attorneys to hasten
their arguments. The court interrupt
ed a lengthy discussion between Dis
trict Attorney Wilkerson and Attorney
Moritz Rosenthal.
81 can hardly look back to the time
when we were not hearing this case
he said reminiscently. The case has
now been on trial for many weeks, and
the defense has Just been started. To-
day the government fought against the
ruling out Of 1854 counts OF the indict-
ments. In two instances the attorneys
for the oil corporation withdrew their
objections, but upon the other counts
strong fight was made.
