special tax levy raised from the tax
able property within said city.
AS a preliminary to the discussion
of this question, permit me to state
that the investigation which has been
made by me has been so made with
the earnest desire to find some legal
means of increasing to the maximum
limit the amount Of money the city
would be entitled to for bridge pur'
poses.
II would give me great pleasure 10
give an opinion that the city is en-.
titled to a portion of special bridge
levy and have that opinion upheld by
the courts.
What the law is and what we would
like it to be, are two different PROPOSE
tions.
Section 1924 of the revised statutes
of Ohio, emitting such portions not
applying to this county, reads as fol,
lows:
1.-THE commissioners, at their March
or June sessions, annually, may levy
on each dollar, of valuation OF taxable
property within their county, for road
and bridge purposes, as follows: In
county where the valuation of tax
able property exceeds $50,000,000 and
does not exceed $S0,O00,000, seven
tenths of a mill; and of the
tax so levied, the commissioners shall
, set apart such portion as they may
deem proper, to be applied to the
building and repair of bridges, which
portion so set apart shall be called
bridge fund, and shall be entered on
the duplicate in separate column
and shall be collected in money, an6
expended, except as may be otherwise
provided by law, under the directions
of the commissioners in building
bridges and culverts, or in repairing

How and Why Council
Got Left on Bridge
Fund .
BLAKE GIVES OPINION

After being badly "stung" by accept,
ing Canton's share of the bridge fund
from the county commissioners the
members of the council, who made this
error in November of last year, are
now endeavoring to find some person
to allay the pains caused by the
"stinger." 1t was not necessary to tell
them they had come in contact with
the business end of the bee, for this
was realized when their portion of the
regular taxes collected was doled Out
to them at the court house. But how
to get rid of the pesky thing now or
secure more of the money is a prob
lem that seSns too deep for them
to solve. At the last meeting of the
council one of the wiseacres asked
that the matter be referred to City
Solicitor Blake, and that he give a
written opinion to the members oi
the council upon the matter. This
opinion was handed in Monday even
ing and reads as follows:
On the 11th day of November, 1907
your Honorable body believing that
the interests of said city would be
best promoted by securing the pro
portion of the bridge fund Of Stark
county allowed by law, instructed the
gentleman who was then city solicitor
to make a demand upon the proper
county authority for said proportion
and in compliance with said demand
the city is now receiving said proper
ton of said bridge fund.
In addition to the authority of the
county commissioners to make levy
for road and bridge purposes, the sale
commissioners also have authority tc
make special levy for the restoration
of an important bridge belonging to ol
maintained by the county.
The question arises as to whether
or not the money realized from a spe
cial tax levy made by the county com
missiOners for the restoration of al
important bridge belonging to O.
maintained by the county, should b,
considered part of the bridge funt
from which said city would be entitled

SECRETS
Of the Guinness CharneI
House to be Revealed
to Grand Jury
MAY SOLVE MYSTERIES

Laporte, Ind, May 18.-The center
of interest in the Guinness tragedies
was changed today to the court house
where States AttoIEey Smith began
the grand jury inquiry into the char
mel house mystery. While the grand
jury was'at work, the news was flash
ed to the city that Mrs. Guinness had
been apprehended on an ocean steam
er and there was frenzied rush from
the court house to the newspaper Of
fees for confirmation. With the de-
nial of the report the crowd rushed
back to the court house and the city
resumed it's normal calm. Forty wit
nesses will give evidence before the
body of inQuisition against Ray Lamp
/ here.
He is accused of burning alive Mrs.
Belle Guinness and her children in
their home on the morning of April
2s.
Secrets said not to have been dis
closed by the authorities are expect
ed. to be revealed to the grand jury.
| That an indictment will be returned
| charging arson and murder in the
first degree is looked upon as a GER
tainty. There is the possibility that
another indictment will be voted
charging Lamphere with being an ac-
cessory to the murder of Helgelein.

links Round Proves a
Good One for Seals
Cooks Two Errors Allow the
Winning Run to Score i'm
the Thirteenth
By w. J. Slatfery

The Seals and the Oaks battled for
1S innings on the Oakland diamond
yesterday afternoon before the final
tally was eased over the plate by the
home guard. 1t was a game full of
ups and downs and replete with every
variety of baseball The boys played
brilliantly at times and then lapsed
into Inconsistencies for spells that
the fans were given chance to feast
their eyes upon most everything that
diamond contest is heir to.
With two out of the way in the
Jinks inning. Joe Curtis laced one to
Cook, who made g. fine boot. Joe i'm
mediately got away with a steal of sec
ond on very close play. Zeider lined
another grounder to Cook, and once
again the Oakland substitute shortstop
allowed the ball to go through his
mitts and the game was over.
At the outset the Seals seemed to
have all the better of the argument.
In the opening inning Loucks hit
Mohler and Curtis and passed Zeider.
He had already tossed three wide ones
to Melchoir when Hogan replaced him.
After getting rid of Mel, Hogan groved
one TO Williams, who soused nice
single to right. Heitmuller failed to
stop the ball which rolled TO the fence
and everybody came home.
Oakland was helpless before Berger's
SuOOlS LII the IOuIlu. linen, Will TWO
out, McCay worked Berger for ticket
to the initial sack. Heine smote the
leather to Zeider, who fumbled badly.
Cook tried the same game, and it went
again, for the Seal shortstop could
not even block the ball, which went
to the outfeld and allowed both men
TO register
The game progressed without Incl
dent till the eighth. Then Miller
startled the crowd by lacing a three
cushion boy against the left field fence.
He had hardly drawn his breath ere
La Longe registered him by doubling
TO left. Mickey was caught at the
pan on Hogan's drive, but the latter
was saved by Van, who had the neces-
sary hit.
This made the aspect look rosy
enough for Oakland and everybody was
figuring that it was a case of good
night for the Seals until Joe Curtis
pulled off the sensation of the after
noon with a line drive 10 deep left
field. The ball hit a rut and bounced
right out of the lot for a home run.
Unfortunately the bases were empty at
the time.
Berger was getting bumped rather
frequently throughout and Manager
Dan Long chased him in the eighth in
favor of Griffin, who pitched nice ball
for the remaining five spasms. The
score.

Owing to Injury of Hand Baffier
Is Unable to Enter R0ped

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-In spite of an
nouncements that promoters are trying
to get Battling Nelson into the ring
with Packey Mcfarland for a six round
bout friends of the Battler in this city
say that he will be unable to enter the
squared circle again before next March.
This is because of an injury to his
right hand, received in his last bout
with Joe Cans. One of the bones in
the hand, just behind the knuckles,
was fractured in the contest and has
healed SO slowly that 1T will keep him
from using the member in any siren
uous fashion for some time.
Nelson wired to promoters that he
would be willing to meet Mcfarland.
he sent this word from the train on
which he left for Boston. He did not
specify the time, however.
When Nelson displayed his hand in
this city 1T was found that the frac-
tured bone had risen from it's normal
position and made ridge in the back
of the hand just behind the knuckles.
Packey Mcfarland says that if Bat
