A MODEL OF PERFECTION OF SUNDAY SCHOOL ORGANNTI0N'
EXPECT SLOW WORK
GETTING A JURY
IN HAMS CASE

New York, Dec. 13.-Prospect of
being locked up over Christmas has
stampeded many citizens of Queens
county who have been impanelled for
the Hams trial. If they don't answer
their names in court they will be ar
rested. General and Mrs. Hains have
arrived from Washington. She is in
state of partial collapse. Captains
children will be brought here near
the end of the week. Captain seems
to be in a dazed condition. Counsel
somewhat worried over this and will
not use him in his brothers defense.
1t is expected that the task of getting
jury will be slow work. Mrs. Lou
lsa Won Hunerbein, mother of Mrs.
Annis5 this evening denounced the
killing as cold blooded murder by
Peter Hams, but inspired by Thorn
ton. She said when Annis was dying
his wife told him she loved him and
knew he was an innocent victim of
Hams. Annis smiled and tried to
speak back but became unconscious.
Says Hams is worse than Guiteau as
he thrice refused to kill Garfield be-
cause his wife was with him. Neither
mother or Mrs. Annis wish revenge
but hope that justice will be meted
out.

KICK ACT AGAIN

Detectives Brisbin and Bour say
that the young men who stand around
the street corners staring at females
as they pass by are getting bold again
and that they are giving them more
trouble than anything else at the pros
ent time. These officers say that they
insult females whenever they have an
opportunity to do so. This habit was
practiced on, the public square for a
long time until some of the officers
were compelled to use the toes of
their shoes in assisting to break up
the practice. These young men car

street, between Market and Cherry

PRIMARIES LONG WAY
OFF SAYS JOS. MUNTER

A report circulating persistently in
local political circles is to the effect
that Joseph Munter, Jr., member of
the board of public service and secre-
tary of the Home Brewing company
OF Canton, will be candidate for the
mayOralty nomination at the Demo
cratic primaries next spring.
In an interview Sunday afternoon,
an effort was made by News" rep
resenJative to have Mr.. Munter verify
or deny the report. He declined to
do either but met the question with
somewhat evasive answer.
The primaries are a long way off"
he said, "and l will have plenty of
time to consider the matter till then.
have given it very little thought up
to the present time. One can never
tell what he is going to do three
months hence"
AS Mr.. Munter said, 1t will be quite
a while before the municipal election
and the preliminary campaign work
begin to occupy the minds of the peo.
pie. Nevertheless, with the presiden-
tial election thing of the past, ,,athe
outlook and the prospective candi-
dates who will subject themselves to
the decision of the citizens at the
primaries, are beginning to form the
most common topics for discussion
among the political gossips.

WORkHOUSE WANTS TO
GET RID OF PRISONER

The workhouse authorities of this
county have asked United States Dis
trict Attorney William L. Day to as
sist them in getting rid of DR.. John
G. Cotton, who was sent to the work.
house here about two weeks ago as a
federal prisoner, having received a
sentence for violation of the postal
laws. The Cleveland Plain Dealer
has the following to say about the
matter:
"a hurry up letter reached the dis
trict attorneys Office yesterday. It
declares that the institution is not
bound to keep DR.. Cotton because he
is not able bodied. Only healthy pris-
oners are to be accepted under the
contract with the government. The
point is made that it has taken two
men to care for the prisoner ever
since he was received; also that Dr.
Cotton in a fit of violence injured one
prisoner. Under the contract with
TIE Warrensville workhouse it would
have been possible to parole under
such circumstances. That contract
was broken at the instigation of the
department. of justice and DR., Cotton
is the second man committed under
the new arrangement. District At
torney Day is figuring out some way
of taking the prisoner off the Canton
peoples hands, but he has not yet
been able to reach conclusion. Meth
er has Assistant Attorney Garry.

INDEPENDENT OF
ANY ONE CREED

and Expects to Establish a Church
In This City.

An organization known as the Men
tai Research society, whose ultimate
object it is to establish church In
Canton, has been organized in this
city. They held their first public
meeting last night in the Red Mems
hall.
The society is devoid of affiliation
with any religious body, or set. 1t Is
entirely independent of any one creed.
Its purpose is to study telepathy and
to make a careful research of all
mental phenomena. 1t advocates some
of the doctrines of Christianity, but
OF no particular branch or creed. AS
stated by F. e. Bell, who has been
retained by the society, as its lecturer,
"It picks out the best of all religions,
and accepts it as part of its teach
ings.
The society is to meet twice a week
in the Red Mems hall. All Sunday
evening meetings will be devoted to
the discussion of religious subjects,
while those held during the week will
be taken up by talking of matters
having no connection with religion.
A quarterly agreement has been
made with the Red Men for the use
of the hall, as the headquarters of the
society two nights a week. The mem
bership of the organization at present
is small, but with its growth it is pro
posed to establish church or per-
manent headquarters. The officers of
the society are, DR.. Cook, president;
Miss Floom, vice president; and A.
/. Geddes. secretary and treasurer.

Local shippers took lively interest yesterday in
the long memorial which out Friday by
the Manufacturers Association of New York for
the purpose of enlisting the aid of all shippers
against the proposed advance in freight rates The
memorial contended that satisfactory evidence was
to be had TO show that neither reduction of
wages nor an advance of 10 per cent in freight
rates was necessary at the present time. It's most
startling feature was the advocacy of a wide
open ground floor investigation of Whole
subject of railroad management. including the
values and sources of revenue. the fixed charges
and other disbursements made by the railroads.
On this subject the memorial says:
II is understood that material change will be
attempted by the railroads until after December l.

later. another attempt will be made to advance
freight rates and in that event the best interests
