COUNTY CLAIMS PENSION
MONEY LEFT by SOLDIERS

Cincinnati, Nov. 8.-Judge Thomp-
son, sitting in chambers, heard one
of the most important cases that has
come to the attention of the federal
courts In years. In fact, the outcome
of the case will be of vital interest to
communities In various parts of the
United States. It involves over ST.
100000, which is being fought for be-
tween the government and county au-
thorities.
The action was instituted by Frank
Howell, who was appointed admins
traitor by the Montgomery county
(Ohio) common pleas court to secure
and distribute the estates of interstate
inmates of the Dayton (Ohio) Soldiers
home who have died without leaving
any heirs. The government, ever since
the various soldiers homes through
out the country were established, has
appropriated whatever money such in
mates left after fkeir death. Now
comes the Montgomery county author
tiles and claim it under a law which
provides that such funds shall be
used for common school purposes. The
amount involved at Dayton is about
$65,0O0.
The government maintains that in
asmuch as it takes care of the home
less old soldiers and provides for
them In every respect, that the pen
sion money which they might save up
or which remains unexpended at their
death should revert to the govern
ment, which has always taken care of
them. 1t is really only pension money
that is involved. The management of
the home takes care OF all the pension
money, which is depoited in bank to
the credit of the oxsoldier, who can
get part or all of It II he sees fit. OF
course, there are certain rules and
regulations regarding the handling of
this money in order that the best in
terest of the inmate may be conserved

BANTz STILL M|SS|NC;a !.
ALSO YOUNG WOMAN
Couple Answering Their Description Purchased
Tickets in This City For New York--The Police
Tried to intercept Them at Harrisburg But
Failed.

simultaneously with the strange
disappearance of William Bantz, mar
ried and prominent liveryman of
Massillon, came the mysterious de-
parture of young married woman
also of that city, and 1t the popular
supposition that the two have eloped.
Previous to their double Disappearance
last week they were quite intimate,
which adds color to the rumor.
Bantz Is married and has large
family. For many years he has ranked
high, in public estimation. At one
time he was one of the most prosper
GUS business men of the city. When
his large livery barn burned, together
with It's entire contents, over year
ago, the whole town of Massillon
sympathized with him. and he was
given public donation by the citi-
zens. to assist him in re-establishing
his business.
In the fire he lost q neat fortune,
the estimates of his loss running as
high as $4,000. The loss of so fine
horses In the fire also added to his
grief. but disregarding the past, he
set about to rebuild and to begin his
business anew.
1t is the general concensus of opin-
ion. that the constant preying upon
his mind Of his loss. caused him to
become mentally deranged. He allow
ed himself to fall q victim to the
drinking habit, and when he had drift
ed thus far. many Of his creditors
refused to advance him further money
to complete his building. This caus-
ed him another constant source of
worry.

WAS JUDGE HARMON'S
COLLEGE ROOM MATE

Coshocton, Nov. 8.-Perhaps John
G. Fisher. of Coshocton, is the dearest
friend that Governor-elect Judson Har-
mon has in Coshocton county, for the
friendship began back between 40 and
SO years ago, when they were attend
ing school at Granville. Mr., Fisher
is several years older than Judge
Harmon, but the difference In age
made them better friends. They were
roommates and Mr.. Fisher was ex-
pected TO exercise some authority
over the young chap who occupied
with him the room and the bed. The
warm friendship formed at that tims
has never abated and one Of the hap
piest acts of Mr.. Fishers life was his
work for the election of his boy
hood friend.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1908-11-12

Then came his association with the
young married woman, with whom
he is alleged to have eloped. She liv--'
ed in the immediate neighborhood of
his home. and it is said that they
were together quite frequently. He
seemed to have almost completely for
gotten his family in his infatuatior
for the woman, but nothing was said
of the matter until the two disap-
peared together.
His wife has applied in probate
court for an inquest into his sanity,
upon his apprehension. Descriptions
of both man and woman have been
forwarded to the police all over the
country, but SO far all efforts to To-
cate him have proved futile. The
Canton police were Immediately noti-
fed of the disappearance, and it is
said that they traced the couple to
the local Pennsylvania station, where
an elderly man and a young woman
boarded an east bound train after
purchasing tickets for New York. An
effort was made to intercept them at
Harrisburg, but this proved a failure.
For many years the Bantz family
have occupied high position in Mas
sillon society, and there is no more
respectable family in that city. Bantz
himself might have been classed as
comfortably rich before the fire. His
estate is now heavily encumbered
with debts, and 1t is stated that 1t is
the immediate intention of the fam
lily to dispose of the partially COM
pleted barn and the other property
to pay off the creditors. The valua-
ton of the property is approximately
$4,000.

RESCUE
Is Primary Work Flor

'nlr v
Homes
CONFERENCE HERE

Private charities are always at dis
advantage because Of the constant de-
mand that must be made of the public
for funds to carry ON its work. A
private philanthropy must usually
through slow years of real up hill
work prove to this public that the in
terest and the money asked for are to
result In real lasting good to hui
manfty. The work of 25 years of the
Florence Crittenton Mission has
slowly but just as surely overcome
prejudice and has proven to the hon
est questioner that the work is sane
and practical to a degree. When a
society has accomplished that, the
greatest part of the battle has been
won. Then must follow a method of
educating the public, getting 1t to see
the need of the work, winning them
by the record Of the past accomplish
ments. The Ohio Florence Crittenton
Association has been fortunate in her
affiliation with the State Board of
Charities and Corrections. That alone
Is an endorsement which few dis
pute. 1t is also very desirable
means Of getting the work before the
people from all points Of the state
who gather at the annual state con-
ference, In conjunction with which
the Crittenton conference Is held.
Canton is the city chosen as the place
N
year. hence Canton Is the point we
are trying to interest In the work, SO
that we shall not come as strangers
next year.
Like all other places the questions
here asked are what is the work."
What percentage are recIaimed?"
what is done with the babies?"
The first question proves that we
must as l do. value the medium of the
press, SO that at least people may
know the nature of the work. Pri-
marily 1t is work of rescue. but the
Florence Crittenton Homes, OF
which there are three in 0hio-Col-
nmbus, Youngstown and Akron-are
open to any woman or any girl who
needs temporary shelter. In large
cities quite as many temporarily
stranded. or Ill. or lonely strangers
hunting employment. seek and receive
the shelter of these doors of Hope
The work for erring women is ma
turally emphasized, as almost no
other agency does anything for this
class. especially is this true of the
outcast woman or the maternity
cases. The state cares for all other
cases. of dependents or delinquents.
The state cares for the blind. deaf
should, but none of these things is
contagious, while those cared for by
the Florence Crittenton Homes, would
in the majority of cases go the down
ward road until they would spread
wherever they went moral leprosy,
and yet they are allowed to go ON
their way with no attempt made to
stop them: hence we insist It is not
only good ethics but good social
economy to take these delinquents and
lead them into ways OF safety to them
selves and humanity. and having sta
tistlcs proving that. as nearly as II is
