TRADITION FROM
HONDURAS.
Is Now Living on Banana
Plantation Under Name
of John r. Rich.

Unless the plans OF the state
department officials al Wash
ington miscarry John r. Rip
linger. Seattle's defaulting city
comptroller who fled to Hon
duras after embezzling an
amount in excess OF $4,000,
will be arrested and brought
back 10 this city within the
next four weeks.
Riplinger. after leaving this
country, fled to Honduras.
where he hoped to evade arrest
from the fact that Honduras
had no extradition treaty with
the United States.
The fugitive is now located
IL miles from Irona. on the
coast OF Honduras, where he
is operating a banana planta-
ton Hnder the name OF ]. K.
Rich.
Brother Is With Him.
Nick Riplingcr, who was also
employed for a time in the city
hall when John Riplinger was
city comptroller. is now with
his brother in Honduras.
For the past Is months ne
gotiations have been under way
between the United States and
Honduras relative to the re-
turn Of Riplinger 10 this coun-
try.
The exact understanding
reached between the two de-
partments can only be sur
missed. but the state depart
ment officials at Washington,
while not divulgiug the nature
OF the agreement they have
reached with the Honduran Of
iicials. have made all prepare
tions to arrest Riplinger and
hustle him back 70 this country
without delay.
Acting under orders from the
state department. secret SER
vice official has been shadow
ing Riplinger for many months.
This detective is now employed
on the Riplinger plantation in
the capacity of a foreman.
Grant No Immunity.
Efforts have been made TO
reach a compromise with the
city officials, BY which Ripling-
er could be guaranteed immun-
ity from arrest, but these ef-
forts have not been successful.
The legal firm Of Southland,
Shipley & Morris has looked
after Riplinger's interests in
this city since his flight, and
has had considerable correspon-
dence with the fugitive. Mr..
Morris has previously author
lied the statement that Rip
linger would return some day
and clear his name.
Ii is believed here that the
state department has reached a
tacit understanding with the
lionduran government by
which Riplinger is 60 be placed
under arrest quietly and inn
mediately hurried back 20 the
United States boundary, thus
avoiding any international COM
plications that might follow
through the fact that there eN-
lists no extfadition treaty be-
tween the two countries.

APPEAL FOR VISITORS
SEEMS D|SREGARDED
Invitation to inspect lnflrmery is Not Generally
Accepted-BuiIdings Loom as Monuments to
Extravagant Expenditure-Are Either
Unnecessary or Too Costly.

The almost frantic appeal made by
the county commissioners and infirm-
airy directors to the tax payers of the
county that they visit the county in
firmary sometime between the pres
ent and election day to see for
themselves how their money has been
spent, has, so far, not been answered
by very many citizens. The number
of visitors has not greatly increased
and the majority of those who do call
at the institution go there to visit
with friends or relatives who are
wards of the county.
Yesterday was the regular day for
visitors and the number who took ad.
vantage of this fact did not exceed
two score, according to a member OF
Superintendent Drukenbrod's family
In the afternoon there were very few
who called and none of the commits
sioners or directors were on hand to
point out to them the great improve
ments that have been made. They
may have been at the races. Visitors
were escorted through the buildings
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1908-09-10

the dancers at the infirmary will ever
be excluded from their ball room.
Thus this building, which cost more
than 100000, according to figures from
the Office of the county auditor, is not
in use with the exception of the first
floor The kitchen is probably a
necessity but one half of the space
given to the dining hall would easily
accommodate all the inmates now at
the institution aud probably all who
are likely to be there during the win
ter months when the number Is per.
haps a third greater The remainder
of the building is being put to abso-
lutely no use and so far as can be
seen is absolutely unnecessary now
and will not be necessary for years,
if ever.
The new barn, built at cost of
more than $1,000, was also visited.
Just where the money went is hard
to see The frame work is nothing
better than the average farmer, who
has to watch the pennies, would put
in his barn, and the siding is not so
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1908-09-10

good as many of them use. The floor
ing in the mows is also Of an ordi
nary grade of lumber and the mason
ry, or that part of it which is visible
is most ordinary. In fact, the building
would probably not pass a close in
spection by competent man. 1t was
noticed in the basement yesterday
that many supports had been put un'
der the foor joisting and they were
put in IN Crch a manner as to lead
one to believe the work was done aft.
er the foor had been laid on the
foundations and perhaps had begun
to sag little.
The basement of this barn is floor,
ed with cement which was left in a
rough and uneven condition. There is
very little here to show for the money
expended besides the flooring and q
few stalls which should have cost but
a few dollars. The upper floor Is de-
voted entirely to NOW space, with the
exception OF that taken by the straw
shed. 1t Is indeed hard to see where
the money went From appearances
the amount Of the contract, little
over $4,000, should have been enough
without the $1,000 for extras which
was paid out and from which that
$500 forfeit money was not deducted
Take the improvements from starr
to finish and the impression comes
and grows stronger that all of them
are more expensive than should have
been and that only part are necessary,
There is no question about the barn
II was needed but 1t is an open ques-
ton II the same structure should not
have been built for al least $4,000, and
probably considerably less. AS TO the
new dining hall and kitchen the mat.
ter of expense also strikes one strong
ly and the question of whether the
building was really needed or not
comes up at every turn. At present
there ale a few more than 200 in.
mates at the inhrmary. Last winter
the higa water mark was 300 and il
is not likely that many more, If any
will be found there this winter. To
house and care for this number II Is
certain the new building was not
necessary. But the money was avail
able and the commissioners and direc
tors probably thought 1t would be 9
good thing to put 1t in circulation
and went about 1t in a manner which
is well illustrated by the remark of q
county official, one Of the court house
ring. When asked some weeks age
how much the infirmary barn was like
ly to cost he laughed and said: "As
much as they can pile on, suppose.
From appearances he spoke the truth

COURT HOUSE
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER A. 1903.
FOURTH DIVIDEND.

The fourth dividend to the creditors
of the Canton State bank. which clos
ed it's doors May, 1905, was granted
yesterday morning by Common Pleas
Judge Amber. Attorneys Lynch &
Day, representing Receivers Wise and
Barbour, of the defunct bank, made
the application for the dividend. The
creditors will receive a payment of
10 per cent on their claims in COM
pliance with the decree of the court,
which makes It the fourth dividend,
the three previous ones amounting to
20 per cent. The first dividend was
made in December, 1905, while the
third was paid about six months ago.
Judge Henry A. Wise, one of the re-
ceivers, said yesterday: I'VE are ready
to pay the latest dividend immediate
ly and think that at least rs per cent
will be paid. Affairs have been pro-
crossing smoothly and the total
amount may reach 80 per cent" The
receivers have been instructed by
Judge Ambler to pay the dividends to
the creditors out of the moneys they
now have in their possession, subject
to the orders and judgments which
the court has heretofore made, touch
ing on the amounts or validity of the
claims; furthermore the dividend is
subject, the entry declares. to the re-
strictions and conditions which gov
erned other dividends.
