GOV. HUGHES
May Attend U. B. Gen.
eral Conference here
in May
OPENS WITH BANQUET

Efforts are being made by the Unit
ed Brethren denomination to secure
Governor Hughes of New York for the
general conference to be held in this
city in May. Governor Hughes has
already given partial consent, saying
that he would be present unless his
legislative duties demanded his re-
naming in New York. Other prOmi-
nent men have already consented to
be present, namely, DR.. Aked, of New
York, the well known lecturer, and
Bishop Bell. The AriOn Quartet, which
made such a favorable impression on
its recent visit here, has been pro-
cured, and other musical treats are
promised by the committee in charge,
in which it is expected that local tai
ent will figure prominently. Other
matters were also brought UP at the
meeting Of the general conference
committee at the First U. B. church
held Monday night, which was held
with Dr.. Funk, of Dayton, the publish
agent.
The building committee reported
that the Auditorium had been procur-
ed for the evening sessions. The con-
ference will probably open with ban
quet in the Auditorium to which many
prominent men will be invited to make
addresses and will probably be thrown
open to the public. Three services
will be held ON Sundays, morning, af-
ternoon and evening. One day will
be set apart for Sunday school rally
at which prominent Sunday school
workers will preside.

CHARGED
WITH VIOLATING CODE

The first affidavits against plumbers
under the new plumbing code we're
signed by Plumbing Inspector Coff-
man Monday. These were against
James Hillibush, e. M. Teel and j.
Ahearn, all of whom were charged
with violations of the regulations.
These men were before the mayor and
were told that the regulations of the
board of health must be complied
with in all cases and if they are re-
ported once more fines will be assess
ed against them. The two first named
had done some work without taking
out permits, while the last men had
attached sink to sewer in a man
ner contrary to the rules laid down in
the code. This code was adopted at
the suggestion of the plumbers them
selves and they must abide by the
consequences in the future" said his
honor.

CAPITAL CITY ITEMS

Columbus, Feb. S-Ignorance of the
life insurance laws of Ohio, on the
part of local counsel for the COM
pany, may result in revocation of the
license to do business in the state or
the Home Life Insurance company of
New York. Notice was served on the
state superintendent OF insurance,
Judge G. G. Lemert, some time ago,
that a motion for revocation of IL
cense would be made before him at
10 o'clock Tuesday morning, Feb. 8.
Cause for filing the motion was not
given in the notice. but it developed
in proceedings now pending in the
Trumbull county. Several months
ago General A. w. Jones, as a policy
holder, through his attorneys, Gilmer
& Gilmer, of Warren, fled a petition
asking for an accounting. He claim
ed the company did not have on hand
the surplus it represented to policy
holders as holding, and that policy
holders did not receive proper divi-
dends.
Hine & Kennedy, counsel for the
company, had the case transferred to
the federal court at Cleveland, but
learned, after the action was taken,
that the state law provides that If
an insurance company removes or
seeks to remove a contested case
from the state to the federal courts,
its license shall be revoked by the
superintendent of insurance, and shall
not be renewed within three years
The law seemingly is mandatory on
this point. Counsel for the company
thereupon had the case remanded to
the common pleas court Of Trumbull
county.
General Jones, who In his petition
charges extravaganza in the man
agement of the company, also has
filed notice of his intention to attack
the company's right to do business
in Ohio in the Trumbull common
pleas court,

KEEP PARKS
For the People say Labor
Unions in Letters
to Council
NEED ALL WE HAVE

1t is not likely that any portion of
Cook Park will be given up for the
construction of money making amuse-
ments, for protests are still coming in
to the city council. Below will be
found letter from the Canton Central
Labor Union. through its secretary,
and following another from the sec
retary of the Bricklayers' union, OBJ
jecting to giving a portion of Mimi
sila Park for the purpose of erecting
a school house thereon:
To the honorable members of the
City Council of the City OF Canton,
Ohio:
Gentlemen;-At the last regular
meeting of the Canton Central Labor
Union | was instructed TO write TO
your honorable body a letter of pro-
test against the erection OF any de-
vice for amusement purposes other
than those that are already there.
The public parks are, or at least
should be, place of comfort where
the effect of the hard toll of the
working men and women can be over
come by few hours of rest and quiet
ude, in the shades of the beautiful
u SVSI anu w EtAHO NDOuI All Quill q
ton of natures beauty brought into a
more picturesque affect by the artistic
skill of man.
The city parks were set aside for
just that purpose. 1t was never in
tended to my knowledge, that they
should be turned into Luna Parks, -
White Cities and the like. to do so
would mean the obstruction of ma
lures carpet, the velvety green, the
removal and mutilation of many beau
tiful trees and altogether the trans
formation of a once beautiful shady
spot into a state of noisy confusion;
for what? All for the greed of money,
setting a business proposition above
the peoples right to a place of rest,
and to escape the hustle and hustle
and noise of our large and growing
city.
AS a citv grows the more use and
need for public parks. Already, much
of the beauty of the parks has been
destroyed by the erection of swings
for the children; however, l am not
raising any objection to that, for |
believe that the children should have
pleasure as we'll as their parents; but
there should be reason in everything,
we must not go too far just to accom-
modate someone who Is after priv
ileges merely for business PROPOSE
ton.
Trusting that the above will meet
with your earnest consideration and
approval and with best wishes, am,
Very respectfully yours,
VIM. R. Horden,
Secretary Canton Central Labor I'm

To the Honorable City Council:
Gentlemen:-We, the members of
Bricklayers' Union, No. 6, Ohio, un-
dcrstand that your honorable body are
considering the adyisability of grant
ing or selling site for school
building at the main entrance of Mimi
sila Park. corner Wheeler and Mahon-

Now we, 'lille many more of Can
tons good people," believe that Can
ton needs every foot of land now in
her public parks and especially do we
protest against your selling or grant
ing in any way for school purposes
the main entrance to Nimisila Park.
Why it would ruin the most beautiful
park Canton has. We say by all
means get sight for a school build
ing some where else.
We know the wishes of the people
in the east end near the park and they
are bitter against the proposition.
Therefore we, the members of Brick
layers Union, No. 6, Ohio, do here
by vigorously oppose the project and
kindly ask that a quietus be put on
any proceedings tending to the above
end.

cents between the new and old gas
rates In this city until final settle
ment has been affected, counsel for
the city and the East Ohio Gas COM
pany Monday afternoon informed the

lowing disputes were enumerated:

claiming unnecessary expense; city re-
fused the proposition of the company
to create a one-year demand rule af-
ter final adjudication, whereby all
money unclaimed during that time re-
verted to the company; company pro-
tested against making cashiers of the
repositories trustees of the funds,
claiming unnecessary expense, city
urged that II an Intermediary rate
between % and 80 cents be declared
reasonable that the difference between
such rate and 80 cents be returned to
the consumers, while the company
maintained that only the new and old
rates can be considered In the present
litigation.
