That the children did not know of

Thee. and other songs while the fire

TWO MEN SLAIN
WOMAN ABDUCTED

MIDDLETOWN. n. " Jan. 22-Tho
love Of two men foI one woman is be-
lieved to have been the motive for a
double murder and the abduction of a
young woman which took place near
this city yesterday.
Scanlon Carminio, eighteen years Of
age, is dead and F'inizio Gaetano,
twentyfour years, is dying. Mrs. Gae-
tano was forced TO so to a shack at the

gan firing on them. Gaetano was NOR
tally wounded, and Finizio was shot

try fos the purpose of making away

1t became known today that pro-
moters of the Interstate polo league,
which was organized this week in
Youngstown are casting about for
another city to complete their eight
club league and that Marion is being
favorably looked upon. Representa-
tives of the league were here today
looking over the field and the rink
which could easily be made into the
best playing surface in the organiza-
ton.
The magnates would rather have a
larger city either in eastern Ohio or
in Western Pennsylvania but in the
available cities there are no suitable
rinks ana therefore Marion is likely
to become a member of the Interstate.
Frank Wilson, who is the moving
spirit in the organization is well
known here. AS an organizer he has
no equal and it has been his unre-
tiring energy and foresight together
with his executive ability that has
raised polo to the high standard that
Il has attained in the middle west
Wilson has long been identified with
polo and there are no angles of the
game either on the floor or in the box
Office that he does not know. Wilson
has always favored Marion and be-
lieved that this city, given the right
kind Of team. would deliver the goods
IN a financial way. With GAINESVILLE,
Mansfield and Akron and Youngstown
in the league. it is believed that Ma
rion people would become interested
and if good polo were provided that
the venture would be a success.
This year the polo will be of
higher class than ever before. All
of the stcrs who played in the east
nave beea secured and higher sal
aries than have ever before been paid
hereabouts will be doled out to the
performers.
1t will probably be announced early
next week that Marion will be the
eighth city in the circuit. The others
are: Youngstown, Sharon. Beaver
Falls. Canton, Akron, GAINESVILLE and
Mansfield.

II Is au interesting matter TO follow

hats are made. Felt indeed Is not so
