FENCES
May be Built in Lisbon
Streets in Attempt to
Catch Auto Speeders
MAYOR UP IN ARMS

Lisbon, April 3O.-Mayor George
Farrell is up in arms against the own
ers of automobiles who violate the
speed law, and has declared open war
fare upon them. The state speed
limit for autos is eight miles an hour,
and the mayor says that he will go to
the utmost extreme of the law to keep
autoists within the limit.
He is talking Of making arrange
ments with his deputy to erect toll
gates along the highways most used
by the scOrChers TO entrap the same IL
they break the speed limit He pro-
poses erecting two poles at either end
of the half-mile stretch on which he
will swing another pole across the
road, and lock it in case the autoist is
breaking the limit.
A telephone will be placed at either
end of the half mile and a deputy at
each end will warn the other that the
machine has entered the allotted half
mile and give the time entered A
stop watch will be held at the other
end, and in case the machine is MAX
ing more than eight miles per hour
will be stopped by the pole obstruc.
ton. Mayor Farrell expects but few
arrests to be made, but gives the
warning to all scorchers that the
speed limit must be observed.

ment that the mortgages were not
recorded at once because Klein had
stated that he had possible deal on
for the sale of the hotel and was fear
full il the mortgages were recorded
they would prejudice prospective pur-
chasers. In this he was not success
full. During the time Mr. Clayson was
in the stand ne and J. J. Clark had
several tits in which the witness more
than held his own.
A formidable array of legal talent
was present during the hearing. Lynch

MASSILLON NEWS
Special to Morning News.

Massillon, O., April 30.-A special
meeting of the city council was held
this evening to officially sanction the
recent sale of the $4,000 city hall
bond issue to ]. w. Rogers and COM
pany of Chagrin Falls. All members,
except Mr.. Seamon were present when
the session was called to order at
7:30.
After the call for the meeting was
formally read by Clerk Shultz, a res
olution by Mr.. Hattery, authorizing
the sale of the bonds TO the Rogers
company was brought before the coun-
Gil. The question then arose, whether
or not the council had any legal
grounds for taking any hand in the
matter at all.
Mr.. Hattery hushed up the
argument by saying that the taking
up of the matter by the council
Shows an open piece of work even
ii it is not requisite of the law" !"
Accordingly upon motion of Mr.. Hat
terry the rule requiring three separate
readings of resolution was suspend
ed and the measure to award the bond
issue to Rogers and company was plac-
ed upon its final passage and unani-
mously adopted.
Before the council adjourned, Coun-
Gilman Curley brought up matter
that promises to lead to an investi-
CATION. A number of the city firemen,
according to Mr.. Curley's statements,
are members of that department with
out having taken any examination
whatever. They were merely appoint
ed, he said, and the board of public
safety had openly disregarded the law
requiring that appointment to the po-
lice and fire department be made only
after the candidate had successfully
passed the examination.
Later in the evening wind of the
coming affray drifted into the meet
ing of the board of public safety at
the Central engine house. ImmeGi-
ately in accordance with the wishes
of the council, examinations were or
dered to be held for all candidates for
positions of the police force and the
fire department, and all present men,
bers of either department who have
not previously been examined, to be
held on May Is.

STORM.
Of Yesterday, While Sc
we're, is Not Expected
to Seriously Damage
Fruit
FROST NOT EXPECTED

Unless a frost follows the storm
of yesterday weather men, fruit and
truck growers say that no ill will re.
suit to the fruit and early vegetable
crops. When yesterday dawned with
a full fledged snow storm there was
fear on every hand that the fruit
crop, which promises to be one of the
most abundant in. years, would be
blighted and made even shorter than
last year. Experienced growers and
older citizens who remembered sim
liar storms at this time of year said
that the danger was not great unless
the skies cleared after the storm and
continued cold weather precipitated a
frost. The optimists declared that
this would not be the case while the
quarter of the compass, each cloud
and biting wind. Every flake of snow
was q harbinger of i'll tiding in his
estimation.
The weather man, however, gives
room for hope. While they say that
the temperature will be low today and
that the sky will be more clear than
yesterday they give no intimation of
weather severe enough to damage fruit
ard predict that Saturday the warmer
breezes of spring will be felt.
According to old residents the storm
of yesterday is not noteworthy. In
1906, just two years ago, there was
snow ten days later in the year and
on the tenth day of May the thermom-
eter registered 81. Older citizens re.
member the great storm of 1854 when
the fall of snow was so heavy that
blooming fruit trees had to be propped
up and yet the crop was not blighted.
Different, however, was the frost of
1859, which on June II killed not only
fruit and vegetables, but grains and
grasses. But no such weather disas-
ter may be expected on the heels OF
yesterdays snow storm.

"They are making a great fuss in
Europe about manufactured dia-
monds, said Professor William

diamond-that is, real diamond,
with all the brilliancy and luster and
strength of a mined diamond-they
Immediately kill the goose which lays

can wear diamond dog collars they
will wear them alone. Their mis-

would pay the real diamond mine
owners to buy up any formula for
diamond making, no matter what
the cost. A far more valuable thing
to mankind would be a manufactured

as good as the product of Africa we
would benefit the whole world, and
the man who invents a process will
become immensely wealthy. All eff
