MAKE NINE CHARGES
MINISTERS GIVE THEIR REASONS
FOR MAYORS REMOVAL.
Canton clergymen Accuse Head Of
City With Misconduct in Office
and Gross Neglect of Duty.

Canton, O.-Mayor Turnbul made
the following statement relative to
the impeachment charges made
against him: "Thls is the culmlna-
tlon of campaign of falsehood In
stloated by malicious desire to do
me and my family great Injustice.
have nothing further to say until
an official copy of the So called chars-
es is received"
Columbus, O.-There are nine spe-
cific charges of misconduct in
office and gross neglect of duty
mentioned in the petition asking for
the removal Of Mayor A. r. Turnbull
of Canton, filed by the Rev. Leroy
Townsend of that city, with Govern
or Harmon. The petition has just
been made public.
The first charge cites that Mayor
Turnbull has been guilty of miscon-
dict in Office in that he has per-
mitted and caused his clerk and the
chief of police to levy tribute in
money from keepers of gambling
houses, saloons and resorts in return
for protection thereof.
Other charges declare that the
mayor has unlawfully granted per-
mits for the holding of prizefights;
that upon the occasion of raid by
the sheriff Of Stark county upon q
gambling house near the city hall,
he instructed the chief of police to
refuse assistance il the sheriff asked
it; that he retains in office chief
of police, knowing that the chief pro-
tects certain violations of the laws,
particularly those relating to gam
bling, cock fighting and the regulation
of the liquor traffic; that the mayor
knowingly permits gambling rooms to
be operated publicly, and the saloons
to remain open on Sundays and elec-
ton days.
= Another charge relates that on
May /, 1908, Mayor Turnbull attend
ed a banquet in the Hotel Windsor
at Akron as the official representa-
tive of Canton, and that upon that
occasion he was guilty of misconduct.
A similar charge is made against
him based on an alleged scene he
created on an interurban car while
en- route from Akron to Canton when,
the petition alleged, Mayor Turnbull
"in full view of all the passengers
aboard held upon his lap two women
in no way related to him" The pc.
tition also declares "he has also been
repeatedly intoxicated"

Sparks, nine. were killed; Lydia Hut

Tells About Loan.

'',rhe facts with regard to the loan were
as follows: The loans aggregating $4,000
were made by Mr.. Rockefeller in various
amounts during the summer of 1893. Mr.
Rockefeller never called these loans. In
February 1894 the Merritt brothers being
pressed by other creditors applied to Mr..
Rockefeller for further assistance. In
stead of calling his loan, as they charge
he furnished them an additional sum of
$4S0,000 They sold him 10000 shares of
stock at $40 n share. amounting to $500, 000
to several members of the family contribu-
ting different proportions. For one half
of this. more than enough to cover his
loan, to them. he gave to each of them
an option to repurchase in a year at the
price that they had sold it to him, with
rer cent interest.
Prior to the expiration of the year AL
fred Merritt one of the brothers who tes-
titled before the committee, brought suit
against MIR. Rockefeller and he and sew
eral Of the Others never endeavored to
exercise the option.
'Another brother and nephew, at the
expiration of the option, applied for an
extension of ii on their stock which was
given and they subsequently took back
their stock amounting to 10000 shares and
on the formation of the steel corporal tion
sold 1t to that company"
The |. n. S. telegraphed Mr.. Rookie
feller's statement in full to Washing
ton and obtained formal reply from
the Merritt brothers, in which they
declare the statement they signed
was in the hopes of saving rem
nant of their fortune for their fam
lilies.

State Balance Larger.

State Treasurer Creamer sees in his
annual statement of November 10,
which has just been issued, the i'm
probability of the states exchequer
hitting the hard rocks. Ohio is more
than 100000 ahead of her balance
last year.
The balance year ago was $685.
1878. This year the balance is S3,-
768,116.S7. Mr.. Creamer says it will
grow between now and January /. In
creased taxes from corporations and
the increased revenue following Rose
county option elections are respon-
sible in large part for the increase,
he says.
