Soliciting for subscriptions towards
the relief fund for the Italian earth
quake sufferers, was started Saturday
by Rev. Father Cascianelli, of the
St. Anthony's Catholic church, and
Umberto D'Atri, of the Diebold Safe
& Lock company. The campaign met
with encouraging success on the first
day. Much of the active work Of So
liciting Is being conducted by Mr..
D'Atri. who is planning to make a
general appeal to the Canton stores
and factories. Rev. Cascianelli has
received a number of subscriptions
from Canton Clergymen, Revs. Hassel,
Treiber, Mcguire and Paulus contrib
uting.
1t was originally intended to await
the issuance of a formal order from
the Cleveland headquarters of the
Catholic church, for the solicitation OF
subscriptions for the relief fund, but
the demand for quick aid to the
earthquake sufferers necessitated i'm
mediate action. Donations may be
mailed to Umberto D'Atri, in care OF
the Diebold Safe & Lock company.
Receipts between the hours of /
and 10 p. m. today, at the Nickel

HARRIS DEAL
STRIKES SNAG
IN THE SENATE

Columbus, Jan. 9.--Such opposition
OF quiet and yet undeveloped kind
to the confirmation of the recess APP
ifested itself among Republican sena-
tors on Saturday that meeting, held
to determine upon the best mode of
procedure In regard to this matter,
adjourned without the taking of any
definite action.
The meeting began Immediately after
the adjournment of the regular sena-
torial caucus, took recess for a short
time to attend the joint senatorial eau
Gus of the senate and house, and then
met again. At both of these nothing
was accomplished except the fact that
some of the members believe the con-
firmation of the appointees would be
the part of poor politics and likely to
provoke party dissension.
At the meeting following the joint
senatorial caucus the inability to
reach any concerted action became sc
manifest that committee, consisting
of Senators Lawyer, of Ashtabula;
Senator Mather of Summit, and Sem
ator Baker, of Hamilton, was appoint
ed to discuss the matter as to the best
method of procedure and report at a
later meeting. This was held at $3.50
o'clock At that time the committee
reported that it had reached no de-
cision, and the subject was dropped,
to be taken up again on Monday.
BY that time ii is hoped to have all
the Republican members in line, so
that the combinations may go through
without hitch or delay. ..

MassiHon
.RUMORED GLASS WORKS
TO REOPEN THIS WEEK

There was rumor unconfirmed al
though very probably true among the
glass blowers of Massillon to the eff
feet that the factories of the Ameri-
can Glass and Bottle company which
have been closed down since the mid
die of last June will reopen as soon
as the tanks can be fred up. When
asked concerning the subject Super
intendent Reed said he had nothing to
give out as yet. The general super
intendent of the company from Chi
cago was in the city Saturday and
inspected both factories. This has
strengthened the hope of many of the
blowers that the news may be true.
According to some of the workmen
who are in position to know the
fires will go in Monday or some time
this week. 1t Will take the best part
of week in any case before the blow
ing will begin. It is not expected that
all the tanks will be fired at once. 1t
is probable that two tanks will be
started at the Reed works and one or
two at the Pocock plant, This will
employ about half the men, the work.
ing force reaching as high as 600I
when working full. Many of the glass
blowers have left for other parts of
the country for other jobs and will
probably not return but there are
enough left-to fill the probable quota.
It was not supposed that the local
factories would start up as long as
the machine factories of the company
could supply the demand. 1t has
lately become evident that the ma
chine made bottles are so far inferior
to the hand blown article that they
cannot compete. In several cases Of
large orders the machine made bottles
have failed to fill the bill. This prob
ably more than any other reason is
the cause of the revival of the local
factories.

CAS- COMPANY
Cannot Desist from Sup
plying Gas Says
Judge Harter
CASE TO BE APPEALED

brought against the East Ohio Gas
company by the city of Canton at 10
O'Clock Saturday morning in the court
of common pleas making perpetual the
restraining order which the city Off
cials secured, the court maintaining
that the defendant company is a
Judge Henry W. Harter handed
down his decision in the gas case
quasi-public corporation and that II
cannot desist from supplying the city
of Canton with gas in the absence of
limitation of contract.
The court in granting the final order
0verruled the demurrer of the de-
fendant company to the petition and
decreed that the plaintiff should fur
nish a $4,000 bond to the approval of
the clerk of court. Attorney A. M.
McCarty, counsel for the defendant,
Baid in open court after the perpet-
ual order has been issued that the de-
fendant company did not desire to
plead further in the case and that the
costs would be adjudged against the
defendant. The appeal bond was fixed
by the court the sum being $500. At
ter the decision it was announced
that the defendant company would
take the case to the circuit court.
The court handed down its decision
IN the presence of members of the
Stark County Bar Association and
about fifty of the laity. Attorney At
lee Pomerene and City Solicitor Blake,
counsel for the city, were seated at
the plaintiffs table, while at the other
one was Attorney A. NJ. McCarty, coun-
sci for the defendant. Neither At
tOrneys, Virgil P. Kline, of Cleveland,
or Attorney John G. Welty, of this
city, the other members of the coun-
sci for the defendant company, were
present.
Judge Harter in rendering his deci-
sion did not announce his views re-
garding the establishment of a depos-
Itory for a difference between the
eompany's price, thirty cents, and the
twenty-five cent price set by the
council, the amount to be turned over
20 the proper parties at the conclusion
of the litigation in higher courts.
Neither was anything said about the
Feasonableness of the selling of the
commodity.
"The question as to whether or moi
the rates Fixed by the city council IS
. reasonable rate is not up before the
court in this case" said Judge Har-
ter" but 1t goes without saying, in
deed our own supreme court has said
rs much, that the council must In
fixing rate act in good faith and not
In fraud Of the rights OF the defend
ant and as other courts have, so
say, that doubtless If IL should turn
out that the city council had abused
iis powers in this regard Che courts

relief"
The first objection Of the defend
ant company was that the petition does
not aver that the price OF natural gas
nxed by the city In the ordinance was
= reasonable rate for natural gas The
second objection urged BY the de-
fendant why q temporary injnkctlon
should not Issue in this case was that

fendant threatened to turn off the nat
ural gas supply from the city. The
third objection and probably the most
important of the three is that the con-
tract made by and between the, city,
the plaintiff, and the defendant, the
East Ohio Gas company has termin-
ated by the terms of the contract, it.
self, and that therefore, the defend
ant is under no legal obligation 10
continue to furnish natural gas for
the city.
Lastly, it is urged by the defendant
in this case that because the ordi-
nances comforting upon it the power
to enter into the city of Canton and
lay it's pipes and mains to furnish
gas to the city and to the inhabitants
in one or more places uses the phrase
remove mains" that therefore the
defendant has the right to remove its
pipes and system of pipes from the
city and withdraw it's service there
from. To this the court replied: "A
superficial reading of the ordinance
does give some color to this claim,
but taking the entire ordinance / do
not believe that any such construc-
tion can be fairly put upon it. TAX
ing into account the nature of the ser
vice which the defendant was to fur
nish to the city, the subject matter
of the contract, the legal character
of the contracting parties, the fact
that there is no limitation fixed for
the expiration in the contract, and the
entire ordinance into consideration, l
do not believe that the ordinance
should be construed in the manner in
which the counsel for the defendant
contend that it should be construed" !"

ESCAPED LUNAT|C
IS MODEL PRISONER

Cleveland, O., Jan. 3.-Authorities
at the Warrensville farm have been
harboring an escaped lunatic for near
ly month, in the person of Samuel
Christ, IS years old, who was sent to
the farm early in December for petit
larceny.
Christ was arraigned before Judge
McGannon, who was so struck by the
boys bright appearance that he sus-
pended sentence of $40, costs and
ten days and turned the boy over to
Parole officer Martin, who sent him
to Warrensville.
There he has been a model prisoner,
no suspicion as to his sanity being
entertained until he of his own ac-
cord told Guard Ed Scharmian this
week that he had escaped from the
state hospital in Harrisburg. His
father and brother live in Reading,
Pa, and they were notified OF the
boys presence here. Yesterday at
tendants from Harrisburg came for
the boy and took him back to the
hospital

De INVESTIGATED

Mamie Crespa, foreigner, living on
Madison street died at Aultman hos
pital Sunday, from the effects of per
itonitis. This man was about 30
years of age and before he was sent
to the hospital it is said that he was
being doctored by a midwife, living
in the Jungle" district. Physicians
who have been watching this case
state that this midwife, who claims to
be graduate from the foreign coun-
try where she formerly lived, has nc
right to treat such cases in this coun-
try under the laws and that the case
is one that should be investigated by
the health authorities. The physician
giving this information says that this
midwife has been treating all kinds OF
eases, for both male and female pa
tients.

SOME OPPOSITION TO
CLOSING ORDINANCE

There is no certainty that the mid
night closing ordinance will be taken
up by the council this evening. At
the last session of this body the or
dinance was referred to the ordinance
committee, but that committee did not
have time to consider 1t during the
past week and caucus may be held
before final action is taken. 1t is un-
derstood that there is considerable op-
position to the measure as it now
reads, some of the members wanting
the closing time to be fixed at 1890
for the benefit of the mill men, while
others do not favor any closing ordi-
nance at all.
