Upper Sandusly, April S0-speeial
Court opened at 1880 O'clock
Thursday afternoon, after recess
for dinner.
Charles L. Justice, the hustling
young prosecuting attorney of Marion
county, then addressed the jury,
making most able closing address
to the jurors on behalf OF the state.
Mr., Justice is a pleasing speaker
and his address was up to the ex-
pectalion of his many friends
MIR Justice reviewed shortly the
movements of the jackson family,
after they had moved to Marion and
the various actions of Curry up to
the time OF the murder. Scenes on
the field during the murder were also
brought out. He charged that the
shooting Of Jackson was a most cow
ardly, brutal and cold-blooded mur-
der, The speaker maintained that

which was taken from Jackson by
Curry, and stoutly declared that Cur
ry later gave the Jacksons permission
to pick up coal along the Erie
tracks.
Prosecutor Justice said the acts OF
Curry, when he attempted TO arrest a
man for stealing something which he
had given him permission to take,
show him to be 'one OF the meanest
and contemplate men now living"
Mr.. Justice recited the different scenes
of the murder in the cornfeld IN a
most telling manner.
Mr.. Justice denieG that there were
two sides to the murder, but said
there were naturally small points in
the stories of witnesses that con-
llcted. Mr.. Justice said that this
fact was an evidence of the truth
fulness of their claims.
Mr. Justice in closing, denied that
! Jackson was walking towards Curry
and called the principal witnesses
for the defense monumental wit
nesses." He claimed that Curry shot
Jackson down in order to keep jack
son from proving to Curry's superiors

Curry showed in all of his actions
the afternoon of November 80, the
time of the murder, that he expected
to have trouble with Jackson The
speaker talked in low, convincing
tone and he was heard with interest
for every word,
Prosecutor Justice declared that the
testimony of all his witnesses has
borne ONT his first statements, made
to the jury some ten days ago, that
Curry committed murder in the first
degree, with malice and predemita-
ton, and should be convicted in that
degree. lie maintained the integrity
of his witnesses and charged that
they were slandered by alleged at
torneys" of the defense merely to
discredit these self-same witnesses.
Prosecutor Justice cautioned the
jurors to lay aside all prejudice and
anything else of interest and to form
their verdict strictly from the testi-
mony and the charge of the court.
He then defended the poverty of the
Jacksons and said, mo matter how
poor a man is, remember he always
has a heart" He recited the facts in

AKRON woRKINeMEN PROTEST

Up at Akron the Central Labor
Union, after discussing the Payne tar
if bill, voted to send protests to the
Ohio senators and congressman
against further increase of tariff rates
on the necessaries of life for the
working class.
Let's see. Akron is the place where
Mr. Taft made a speech last fall in
which he said great deal about the
tariff and his sympathy with labor
but not one word about the speech he
made in Akron three years before.
We hope none of the workingmen
of Akron who voted for Taft will think
of joining in such protests. 1t is in
considerate to protest against getting
what one votes for. Besides, after
comparing the two speeches, any Ak
ron voter ought to have foreseen that
it would be as easy for Mr.. Taft to
make common enterprise" with tariff
barons who demand revision upward
as it was for him TO make common
enterprise" with Cox.

| claimed that these have not In past
years been fully listed as they should
have been and it is the intention to
get them on the tax duplicate now.
In the matter OF automobiles it is
expected that the official records of
licenses issued will help considerably
in getting the machines in the rev.

/ the officers to check up the records
with the assessors returns to see
that all are turned in for taxes.
Even under the plans and restric-
tions of Auditor Oberlin that official
fears that the assessing expenses this
year will be higher than heretofore,
because of some of the rulings of the
state board of examiners who have
taboed practices that have prevailed
for years. In the past, assessors have
utilized Sundays and some of the
night hours in doing their figuring,
writing out their returns and similar
routine, turning in the time they were
so employed. The examiners protest
against this, holding that if the work
cannot be finished within the prescrib-
ed time and regular days by one man,
an assistant shall be hired. The hir-

the extra time charged by the regular
assessors.
Following the meeting with the au-
ditor at which they are given their in
struCtions, the assessors will hold a
meeting to agree among themselves up
on a general scale to be followed in
listing property for the purpose of
making their returns uniform. For
instance, a certain price will be fixed
for a good farm horse, and horses of
that class from all sections of the
country will be listed at that price.
A similar standard will be fixed for
cows and for all articles in general
use in the country.
Nearly all of the assessors this year
are experienced men, having filled the
Office in the past. Only few OF them
will receive instructions for the first
time this year.
The assessors begin their work on
Tuesday, April 13, and must have 1t

No loafng by assessors.

That is the edict of County Audi
tor NJ W. Oberlin
The work is to be completed within
the time limit and assistants are to
be allowed where needed, but min
imum amount of work must be ac-
complished by the regularly elected as
SCISSOR before the appointment of an
assistant will be considered.
The listing of ten persons day
Auditor Oberlin considers a fair av-
eragc days work and that will be the
basis upon which he will consider ap-
pliCations for assistants.
From previous returns the auditors
office has approximately the number of
taxables in every ward and township
in the county, and if by listing an
average of ten persons day the reg
ularly elected assessor can bring in
all the taXables in his territory with
in the number of days allowed by
the law, that assessor will not be al
lowed an assistant. If the total num-
Der is in excess of what can be COW
cred at the rate of ten a day an as
sistant will be allowed for only SO
many days as are necessary to list
that excess number working at the
same rate of ten a day.
This rule will be forcibly impressed
upon the assessors from the rural dis
tricts when they appear before the
auditor today, Saturday, for instruc-
tions, and upon the assessors for the
several wards of Canton, Massillon,
Alliance, Louisville, Navarro and Ca
nal Fulton when they appear for their
orders Monday.
The assessors will also have present.
ed to them the necessity of listing
more completely than has been done
heretofore the personal property Of the
county. The grand duplicate of per-
sonal property in the county, the Of
flcials say, is not as high as it should
he, and a special effort is to be made
this year to increase it. Among 9TH
Ell things that Auditor Oberiin will
tell the assessors to look after par
tlcularly are diamonds, pianos, auto
mobiles and similar articles which
only the well-to-do can own. 1t is

Representative Owen J. Evans, OF
Stark county, said yesterday that he
will make an effort 10 have the annual
reunion of the Ohio legislature held in
Canton during the centennial week.
He will write personal letters to each
of the 1T representatives, and the "a
senators, requesting that they favor
the proposition.
1t is an established custom in the
legislature to hold a reunion each
year at Cedar Point. Representative
Evans said: 81 don't believe that it
is asking too much to request the
change. l am confident that most Of
the members will welcome the propo-
sition. They can go to Cedar Point
whenever they want to, but they will
have but one opportunity to attend a
Stark county centennial"
The matter was suggested to Rep
resentative Evans by members of the
centennial committee. The centennial
committee also intends writing to
each Of the members of the legislature
urging them to consider the change
favorably.
The centennial headquarters in the
southeast corner of the court house
basement will be opened Tuesday
morning, said John e. Monnot, sec
retary of the centennial committee.
Tonight will see the electric sign,

A bulletin issued yesterday by the

are in receipt of a communication
from Mr.. George Waldo Browne, edi-
torial manager of the Granite State
Magazine, and secretary of the New
Hampshire Historical society, stating
that on last Wednesday evening, a
large meeting was held in Manchester,
and that considerable enthusiasm was
expressed over the Stark county CEN
tennial and industrial exposition. He
also writes that large organization
was formed for the purpose of rem
dering assistance, and that the work
of collecting historical relics, pictures,
etc, connected with General Stark,
has been begun and that good pro-
gress is being made. They will be put
on display during the centennial. He

STANDARD
NOT INJURED
LITTLE JOKER IN THE PAYNE
TARIFF BILL TAKES GOOD CARE
OF THE OCTOPUS INTERESTS
BY PRODUCT PROFITS
They Are Protected by 20 Per Cent
Duty Under "Unenume Grated Manu-
Keep Out Products of Old World.

Washington, April 11.-Washington
has just discovered another Standard
Oil joker in the Payne tariff bill.
Statesmen while they were still
glowing with enthusiasm over landing
on the solar plexus of the Octopus"
suddenly felt a cold chill down their
spines. Now they are busily twist
ing the proud boasts they had framed
for the benefit of their constituents
these excuses put the burden of blame
upon Cannon, Payne and Dalzell, Of
course.
The Payne bill, as passed by the
house, puts petroleum, crude or re-
fined" on the free list, no doubt of
that, but there is no mention Of ''the
products of petroleum, crude or re-
fined. One clause in the bill places a
blanket twenty per cent ad yalorem
duty on "unenumerated manufactured
articles" The by-products of petrol
! cum clearly come with this classical
ton, according TO all the tariff ex-
perts who have looked into the subject.
All the tariff experts, that is except
Chairman Serene Payne. He denied
it, hotly and hastily. After denying
it he went into seclusion to look into
the matter,
Payne has denied the existence of
so many sleepers on their discovery
, and then recognized their existence
with amendments subsequently that
his words have no great weight with
the uneasy lawmakers.
Despite their efforts, then, to swat
the Standard, the representatives
have apparently removed the duty
which the Standard wanted eliminat-
ed and left that concern with 20 per
cent protection on its only products
which are subject to competition. Free
petroleum, crude and refined, will per-
init the importation of Mexican crude
to compete with the crude Of the in
| dependents. The duty covering the
by-products will save the Standards
goods for European goods manufactur-
bill was supposed to have placed par
afin on the free list. yet by some con-
struction of it. duty has been collect
ed on paraffin right along.
Congressman are a unit this evening
in saying the bill, as relating to oil
must be reconsidered Speaker Can
non said this evening that the first
] motion to be entertained at tomor'
