MODEL VILLAGE FOR OHIO.
Millionaire Coal Operator Plans to
Make Hudson the "Town Beautiful"

james w. Ellsworth. the New York
multimillionaire coal operator. is en-
deavoring to make his native town.
Hudson. in the northern part of Ohio.
the ideal town of the United States
in other words. the town beautiful"
Mr. Ellsworth has 800 acres of fine
land on the fringe of the town and on
these acres Il home that might be
termed castle. But perhaps the care
he has had taken of his own estate
does not reach the height of concern
he has displayed for the village itself.
for he is to eXpend thousands of dol
lars on improvements there
The first move to have an ideal
town" that Mr. Ellsworth made was
at IL village he established in Penn
sylvania and which was chriStened
Ellsworth Things did not 30 smooth
ly there. however and his hope of es-
tabliShing a "home town" WAS fruS-
trated by circumstances. 1t was then
he turned his attention to the little
spot in which he was born. His first
move there waS to put up to the au-
tnorllleS II proposition 10 nave all SH-
looms eliminated and to have the te!e-
phone wires placed underground The
scheme to have the saloons closed
passed. and Mr.. Ellsworth promised
that he would spend his own money
on improvements-to perfect the wa
ter supply. the transportation system.
etc.
Mr.. Ellsworth has already given
Hudson 100000 for improvements.
He has spent $4,000 for Il mems and
women's clubhouse. where every com
fort practically that may be obtained
in club In Il large city may be had.
These amounts may seem small ac-
cording to the donati recorded to-
day. but they look large when it is
known that Hudson has little more
than 1000 inhabitants.

The "E.llay Beautiful"

After carrying out all the usual
"benutiful" movements. even to the
back yards. some of the citizens of
Oak Park. Il suburb Of Chicago. have
evidently made the last necessary step
in inau3uratng an ALLEY beautiful"
crusade. The first alley chosen for
Improvement was named Cot tonwocd
lane and it VS quickly transformed
into Il beautiful lane and as clean and
orderly Rs any street. With such FRO
grtsSive citizens as those of Oak Park
even Il desert would soon become i
desirable place for Intelligent home
seekers.

THE JURY
ACQU|TS
FISHER
Defendant Tells a Straight and
Convincing Story and the
Justice and Jury
Believed Him.

Alvin Fisher was cleared from the
charge of larceny by bailee yesterday
in the justice court by jury of five
men. When questioned regarding his
part in the affair, which arose over
a missing bicycle which was in Fish
er's possession, he gave the jury and
the court a complete explanation.
He told OF how he hired the bicy-
Gle from the Moore bicycle establish
ment with the understanding that If
he did not return before the shop
closed up 10 put the wheel up against
the front. He said he did not return
from his trip out in the country until
late and then done as the owner OF
ne machine directed, leaned IL up
against the door of the shop and
heard nothing more of II until he
was informed by the owner that IL
had not been returned. lie then told
the owner OF the wheel that he would
either find the wheel or pay for II,
and shortly afterwards found II in
front OF the Dreamland theater and
took II home for safe keeping.
when asked by Attorney Winslow
why he did not return the machine
he readily explained that he was
working and did not have an oppor-
tunity 20 return the property when
the shop was open and did not want
TO leave II I'm front OF the place to
be stolen again, and when Deputy
Sheriff Esch arrested him he was in
tending to put his grips on the boat
for independence, return the wheel
and then walk to Liberty 10 visit
some folks. from where he was going
TO foot IL 10 independence to work
In the hop yards.
Fisher needed no prompting TO tell
this story, which was so convincing
that the jury brought in the verdit
OF not guilty in very short time.
Attorney Brown was counsel for the
defendant.

LINCOLN
PENNIES

Because OF all the criticism direct
ed against the new Lincoln cents II
is expected that bill will be intro
duced at the next session OF con-
gress directing their withdrawal
from circulation.
Should that become a law the new
coins will become scarce in n few
years Even now the first issue OF
them bearing the initials OF the de-
signer. Victor ID. Brenner. are hard
to get. and continue TO command a
premium. There were less than 29,-
100000 OF them coined when Sec
retary OF the Treasury McVeah or
dered the mints 10 change the die
so as TO show only one Initial, He
thought II was advertising the ar
tist enough 10 have the first letter OF
his last name appear on a coin OF
OF such circulation, without immort-
alizing his Christian names, too. The
secretary however did not know
and II ls certainly not matter OF
common knowledge-that there are
other coins OF the United States
which bear three initials OF the de-
signer. They are the S2.50 and s.
gold pieces which bear the letters ''V,
l. p. They stand for Vela l.. Pratt
the Boston artist, who made the
drawings.
The principal objection to the Lin
coin penny is that II does not wear
we'll The head OF the martyred
President and the lettering around IL
show abrasions after few day cir
Then there Is the enti-
mental objection TO Initiating he
habit OF foreign countries in put. w

rors and presidents upon their coins,
Those who oppose the innoyatlon
demand the restoration OF the old
Indian Head" cent, as they call II.
They overlook the fact that there il
no Indian head on the old coins.

of a pretty girl
The penny-in-the-slot machine men
complain that the new cents won't

ARE DOING
THINGS AT
PANAMA


While the people of the United
States have been fussing over the
wool schedule or the hide schedule
or various kindred things included
in the tariff bill. the segregated mite
of population down on the isthmus
OF Panama has been putting a new
aspect on the building of the canal.
Il is no longer a matter OF digging
a ditch. Concrete is being laid, viii
lagos are being moved, quarries open
cd, locks anchored. Preparations are
almost completed for the constructive
work on the canal and the whole pro-
ject Is entering upon It's second phase
of accomplishment.
When the record for the month of
July was taken It was found that
the United States had surpassed the
excavation mark set by the French
during the years they were AT work
before abandoning the undertaking..
The French excavated S1,54S,O00 cu-
bic yards. The Americans have taken
out 81, ,697.97S cubic yards. There
are 92.96S,617 yards still 10 be ex-
cavated
From now on IL Is expected that
the excavation records will dwindle
as the construction work progresses,
the present plan being TO bring the
excavating and constructive work TO
an end simultaneously. The new
phase OF activity puts an entirely diff
ferent complexion upon the busiest
ten mile strip in the world. The rock
crushing plant at AnCon Is ready for
work The Gatun dam, over which
reams OF paper have been used In
argument. is slowly rising, the sur
face OF the pond having risen ten
feet In the last month so that the
water encroaches on the old tracks
OF the Panama railroad Great sheets
OF cement are being laid In the spill
way the floor of which Is TO be one
foot thick
To make way for the Gatun dam
the entire village OF Gatun has been
wiped out. This hamlet Is within
the limits of the dam, and It's site
will eventually be covered As the
old village disappears the new Gatun
on the hills overlooking the site of
the dam and locks grows larger. II
il now one OF the largest settlements |
on the canal zone
Gatun was point whore In the |
days gone by the bongo-loads of Cali
fornia travellers used To stop for re-
freshment on their way up the river;
where eggs were then sold four for a
dollar. and the rent for a hammock
was two dollars night.
When the Americans arrived ia
1904 Gatun was the center OF com
paratively large river trade. The viii
lage consisted of dozen stores, a
church aud seventy or more native
nuts The negro settlement near the
railroad station, known as the cite

buildings near the station. The only
