DENIED DIVORCE,
SHE CHOSE DEATH

Denied a hearing Of her case for
absolute divorce by Judge Harter
Tuesday, Mrs. Della Newcomer, of
Minerva, went home and 4ook the case
in her own hands, dying early We'd
nesday morning from the effects OF
poison. She was about 3S years OF
age and leaves several children.
Mrs. Newcomer had been parted
from her husband, William Newcom-
er, for about a year. When the ap-
plication for divorce was made the
husband filed an answer which he
afterwards withdrew On account of
lack of evidence the judge refused to
hear the case.
To the last the woman denied that
she had taken poison DIR. Casey,
who attended her, called the coroner
and an inquest was held.

What purports to be advance figures
on the census bureaus estimates OF
population for Ohio cities has been
sent out from Washington within the
last few days. The estimates place
the population of Cincinnati at ap-
proximately 345,OOO people while the
population of Cleveland is placed at
ago 900 inhabitants. Of the nearby
cities Akron's population is placed at
$4,000; Youngstown, $1,000 and that
of Canton at $4,000. These so-called
estimates are based on the natural
increase of about six per cent per an
mum and are wholly unreliable from
the fact that some cities grow about
ten times as fast as others. And
again, the rate of population may be
greater in one year than in another.
For example take the year of 1887
when the large Dueber manufacturing
plant removed 10 OduIOH, Ihe ClIJ
had a greater per cent of population
than at any time in it's history. and
another illustration is that the pop
ulation of Canton in 1880 was about
1900 and jumped to $1,000 in 1890,
when the federal census was taken.
This was a gain of over one hun
dred per cent while in 1900 when the
last official census was taken the
city gained but 1000 people. so it can
be seen that the estimates sent out
from Washington are very unreliable.
1t is believed by many well known
people that the population of Canton
at the present time is nearly $4,000
owing to the fact of annexation of a
lot of territory to the city limits
and also of the large increase of new
manufacturing establishments and the
increased capacity of nearly all the
older ones. Canton was grossly mis-
represented by the last federal CEN
sus and when the new one is taken
some of the neighboring towns will
have occasion to be surprised.

South Bend. March 2T.-The new
schedule did not make much of hit
with at least one member Of the local
association, who objects to the six
open dates left in it and does not IA
vor the holiday arrangements as they
affect South Bend. There is need
for only one open date in a 140-game
schedule" he said today. "and with
six of them it means that salaries for
one entire week must be paid out with
out return in that time. The season
might better have been shortened, and
begun later. and think a mistake was
made when it was decided at the To-
ledo meeting to begin the season April
Is"
II is thought that the original plan
to have South Bend play here Mem
orial day and at Grand Rapids July
would have been a better idea than
the one finally carried out.

Worse Than Selling Mixed Drinks in
Wet Town


Millersburg, o., March 27.-Another
one of the cases of the state VS.. John
Thomas for selling liquor in a dry
town is now on trial before Mayor
Shaw. Before the case was commenced
a plea in abatement was overruled,
then an affidavit of prejudice was filed
against Mayor Shaw which was over
ruled. Then the defendant asked to
be bound over to either the probate
or common pleas court and this was
not complied with. Then mandamus
was talked about to compel the may
or to bind defendant over; then an
injunction to prevent the mayor from
hearing this case. Finally the mayor
said he would continue the case until
they could apply to the court for a
writ OF mandamus or Injunction as
they saw fit. Then they backed down
on this and the case went to trial
There are number of witnesses here
from Wilmington, O., for the purpose

MARY GORDON BARNETT
APPEALS FROM SENTENCE

Mary Gordon Bennett, one of the
social lights of Iwilei, doesn't think
that Judge Whitney took correct
view of the facts in her case when he
sentenced her to 60 days on the reef
Tor being found drunk in a public
place. So she has appealed to the Cir
cult Court to see If she can't escape
the degradation of being sent to Jail.
Mary Gordon Bennett, according to
the testimony given in police court,
was doing her best to make Honolulu
4 real, live town. In fact, one of the
witnesses swore that she was raising
well, not cabbages. She was drunk,
and her drunk was Of the fighting
variety. Indeed, she so far forgot her.
self as to slap Felicia in the face
when they were both taking an auto
mobile ride in the patrol wagon. In
brief, she was making scandal in the

But Mary G. B. doesn't think she
ought to get 60 days for little thing
like that.
