MASTER PLUMBERS
TO MEET IN CANTON

The State Masters Plumbers, Asso-
citation will hold its next annual con-
vention in Canton. The invitation ex-
tended by this city to the association
at their convention at Springfield was
unanimously accepted yesterday. A
message from A. c. Eynon, of this
city, announcing the acceptance of the
invitation was read at last nights
meeting of the Board OF Trade.
The convention of the National AS
ISOLATION of Master Plumbers is to
be held during the latter part of the
month in the Auditorium Annex at
Chicago. 1t is believed that Canton,
if it put forth the proper effort, can
secure next years convention. This
convention will bring to Canton fully
1900 people who would remain here
for four days. Mr.. EynOn advised
that an invitation on behalf of the
Board of Trade be extended as also
one from Mayor Turnbull representing
the citizens generally, and Mr. Weary,
the Business Mems Association.

M'CAsKEY CO. TO SOON
DOUBLE CAPITAL STOCK

A meeting of the stockholders OF
the McCaskey Register company was
held in this city on Thursday. There
was no official business transacted
but many important measures were
discussed. The capital of the company
which is now 100000 will probably
soon be increased to $1,O0O,OOO The
reason for this is the necessity for
more factory room to meet the require
ments for the increase in trade. 1t
was stated that it would not be long
until the mammoth plant in Alliance
would be used exclusively for the
printing department for the company
and that new plant in which to
manufacture the registers must be
built. 1t was also stated that a branch
plant would be built at some point
In Canada to supply the wants of the
Dominion. The most encouraging re-
ports of the condition of the company
were given in an informal way. The
matter of the location for the new
plant was talked of to some extent
by the officials.

saying: "It is distinct tribute to
the spirit of Christian Endeavor. The
work of the society is far reaching" !"

ENGLISH GHOST

New York, Feb. 19.-Abe Attell, the
featherweight champion of America,
met a man who was more than his
match tonight when he boxed ten won
derfully fast rounds at the National
A. g. with Jem Driscoll, champion of
England. Driscoll had all the best of
the 90 and astounded the crowd and
Attell by his wonderful defensive tao
tics. Driscoll was never in danger
but had Attell staggering a number of
times from well directed blows to the
jaw. In the first, Driscoll started clev.
erness right away Twice Attell rush
ed only. to land up against the rope.
AS the fight progressed Attell became
worried at inability to hit the English
ghost who all the time was punching
in left and rights. tell set right
out from the start to punch Driscoll
in the stomach, but blows did not
seem to have much effect on his rival.
Attell made the best showing in the
seventh, eighth and ninth rounds when
he tore in like a demon with shower
blows to head and body. Some land
ed, but many flew harmlessly by as
Driscoll ducked.

LAHN HOPES
For important Develop
ments In Aeronautics
at Old Home.
ON HIS WAY TO PARIS

New York, Feb. 1S.-Frank S. Lahm,
probably the most prominent aeronaut
in private life in the United States,
and father of Lieut.. Frank p. Lahm,
United States army, one of the worlds
leaders in aerial navigation, in this
city today referred to Canton, Ohio,
his home town, as the most important
place in America today so far as the
aeroplane and the dirigible balloon is
concerned. He undoubtedly had in
mind the Aero Club of Ohio, of which
Canton is the home, which in its one
year of existence has conducted more
ascensions, including more people,
than any other club in the United
States, as we'll as the heavier-than-
air flying machine of former County
Surveyor w. H. Martin, which in
wolves the principles OF the aeroplane.
He had also heard of the experiments
of Martin at his farm today, when
with the old family horse for motive
power, a score or more of flights were
made with varying degrees of success,
some flights being only so feet while
others we're 200 feet or more.
MIR. Lahm sailed for Paris today
where he spends a considerable part
OF his time, visiting his old home in
Canton at irregular intervals.
Mr.. Lahm inspected the Martin fly
ing machine shortly before leaving
the Ohio city for New York, but did
not see it in actual operation, his call
at the Martin farm home having been
unannounced and unexpected and the
device could not be hauled from its
quarters in the barn and put in ac-
tion in the time that Mr.. Lahm could
remain at the farm. He was very fav-
orably impressed with some of the
ideas embodied in the device, however,
and promised to watch developments
with interest. Ho also thought well
enough of it to promise to look into
new style of motor, which it was
claimed was particularly adapted to
flying machines, to see how it would
work in with the Canton mans de-
vice
Mr.. Lahm also took notes on some of
the features Of the Canton machine
which the inventor claimed had never
been applied before to aerial naviga-
ton for the purpose Of comparing
with the Wright Brothers machine,
which he expects to see soon after
reaching France, promising to notify
Mr.. Martin whether or not any of the
so-called new principles had been tried
out by the Wrights.
Mr.. Lahm really gave more credence,
inferentially, at least to the Canton
mans invention. at the pier here today
than he did in public announcement
in the home of the inventor. In fact,
he left the impression that he had
strong hopes of important develop
ments from the experiments now being
made in his old home.

The hearing of the charges against
Superintendent r. S. Orr of the Co
lumbiana public schools which was
set for Saturday morning at 8 O'Clock,
was this evening postponed by the
county board of examiners for week.
The charges were brought some time
ago by teachers and scholars of the
schools who charged their superintend-
ent with the excessive use of drugs,
with the use of indecent language in
the school room in the presence of
his scolars, and many similar acts
that would warrant his removal. The
case was dropped for time but upon
further complaints the county board
of examiners took up the matter and
arranged for a public hearing which,
since postponement, will be held Sat-
urday morning, February 27.
