Cleveland, Ohio, September 19-
Twenty years ago, when he marched
weary and foot.sore army into
Washington, General j. s. Coxey ap-
preciated the need of good roads.
With this appreciation whetted by
automobile ownership, the General
is now disposed to go before the peo.
pie of Ohio with a demand that $780,.
100000 instead OF $5O,OOO,GOO as pro.
posed in the constitutional amend.
ment, defeated September 3, be ex'
pended in Improvement of the roads
Coxey, who motored in today from
his home at Massill0n, said he would
seek under the initiative and referen
dunn next year to have bonds issued
for $1OO, 100000.

ALL.STARS
TO Play Moose Team 10
This City On Sunday

The game at Sandusky scheduled
for Sunday between the Mt. Vernon
Moose and the Sandusky team has
been calcelled by the manager of that
aggregation who gives for his reason
the fact that too much expense would
be incurred in bringing the local team
to that city.
In the face of changed circum.
stances Managers Rovillard and At
kinson have arranged for game to
be played at Riverside park Sunday
afternoon between the Moose and
Crtchheld's All-Stars There are
many fans who have been heard to
say that team just as good as the
representative one could be gathered
together from players in the city who
have not had chance to play with
the Moose. This will be an excellent
opportunity 10 determine whether or
not the above mentioned fans were
right.
The game should draw large
crowd.

NOT GUILTY
Says Kelly Of Being At Bull
Moose Convention"

Has anybody here seen Kelly"
What Kelly?
George d. Kelly.
Where?
At the Bull Moose convention" at
Ed. Dever's that indorsed the Taft
county ticket.
Nay, and again nay.
Kell was not there. He says SO
himself, and surely he ought to know.
He can easily establish an alibi.
In transcribing the names of those
present at roll call Of the "conven-
tion" the chirography was not very
good, and the name "Frizzell" prob.
ably got distorted into Kelly At
least that is the most probable and
plausible theory.
But be that as it may, here is an
apology to George Kelly. He is en-
titled to it.

Bound ITO Come
Denominations UOite To Pre-
Spread Of This Religion

Cleveland, O., Sept. 19--That Nor.
mon missionaries, located in every
city in the United States seek young
girls, seduce them and then persuade
them to be sealed" to Mormon ell
ders, was charged by Mrs. Halle L..
Hill, of New York, before the North.
East Ohio conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church yesterday after
noon when the women of the church
held a missionary mass meeting at
Epworth Memorial churcn. Mrs. Hill,
who is national organizer for the Wo.
mans Home Missionary Society, said
in part:
Because of the pernicious and rap
idly spreading influence of the Nor
mon church, the women of nine de-
nominations have issued textbook
to be used by all the home missionary
societies in which the evils Of this
church are clearly set forth together
with the reasons why the church
sould be exposed.
why should we women bother with
this? Because Mormonism is exer.
cising q subtle but mighty influence
in the political, and commercial Life
Of this country, because 1t Is bringing
disgrace and bitter suffering, because
it is not confined to one section of
the United States, but, on the con.
trary, there are missionaries every.
where.
Each man must pledge himself to
serve two years as missionary, sub
ject to call, as Germany requires mill
tary service There are now four
thousand missionaries working In our
large cities.
Nothing has SO disturbed the Nor.
mon Church as the stand being taken
against them by women. At our con
ferences during the summer In Los
Angeles, Northfeld, Mass, and Chau
tauqua, Mormon elders were present
in each audience, but they said not
one word in dispute of our charges.
''The Mormons now control, abso
lutely, the Presidential election In
Utah, Idaho. Wyoming. Nevada and
Montana, and hold the balance Of
power In the eastern portions Of Ore
gon, Washington, and California. The
last time that President Taft was ir
Salt Lake City he rode about the city
with Reed Smoot, President Smith
and one of Smiths five wives. More

the seating of Smoot is dead, political
ly."

Gambler, Ohio, Sept. 19-Kenyon
College opened Wednesday afternoon
at five o'clock with evening prayer at
the Church of the Holy Spirit. This
formal opening was in accordance
with the custom that has prevailed in
the past.
The enrolment of students for this
year corresponds almost exactly with
that OF last year, there being about
one hundred. The members of last
years classes returned almost to a
man, and with Freshman class of
forty. There is every indication of
a good year for the college in every
respect.
Immediately following the opening
services the students assembled at
the college commons for supper. This
was the first meal at the commons
and 1t marked very successful be-
ginning. Practically the entire stud.
ent body was there nearly filling the
nine tables that the building affords.
The new dining establishment Is in
charge of Mrs Emma v. Molen of Mt.
Vernon
The cane rush between the first and
second year men will probably be
held Saturday afternoon. The hour
for the rush has not been fixed but
it will occur at about the same time
as in the past years. The Freshmen
will have a slight advantage over the
Sophomores in numbers, but the ex
perience of the older men will about
even matters. A good rush Is antici
pated.

Orchard mesa is covered with peb-
bles worth thousands of dollars to
the mining men of Colorado.
NJ. r. Hanson, an old-time friend
of A. E. Barrick, the well known
attorney, while visiting here in the
summer examined pebbles he found
near the bridge. which he thought
very similar TO those imported from
Denmark and used in the milling
process of the Smuggler-Union mine
of Telluride, of which he is superin-
tendent.
He took some back with him, and
investigation demonstrated that they
took the place of flint pebbles that
are shipped in from Denmark, for
which the company paid thousands
of dollars annually.
Yesterday Mathew Hanson. son of
Mr.. Hanson and an employe of the
mine, arrived in Clifton, and, with
an expert he brought along, began
sacking the pebbles, and will ship a
car TO Telluride. Permission has
been obtained to broaden the Orchard
Mesa approach to the bridge, and the
pebbles will be sacked at he river

DRESSNAKERS IN SMUGGLING PLOT.
N|PPED BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES

New York, Dec. ia smuggling
conspiracy, TO which many OF the
largest dressmaking establishments
in the United States are parties, and
through which the United States
treasury has been defrauded of a
million dollars revenue, was report
ed today, when the first indictment
in the case was secured.
\ middle-aged woman was indict-
ed on the specific charge OF "facili-
tating the trar~ alton of snug
gied goods into .nls country" by way
Of Canada.
Customs officials described her as
the wife of George Haldern. law
yer, with offices in New York, Lon
don and Paris; but said she had not
been living with her husband for
some time. When arrested today she
was in possession of 81 gowns, val
ued at $4,000, the finest, the Off
ciaIs said, that had been seized at
this port for years.
Mrs. Haldern, travelling, 1t is al
legged, as Mrs Amaldorn, Madame
Haldane and Madame Hubert. had
been followed by special agents of
the treasury department since last
August, when she left this port for
Europe. She was traced to Rotter-
dam, Paris, London, Liverpool and
Canada, telling the Canadian and
American customs officers at Quebec,
it is said, that she was a foreigner
on the way to the United States, and
that her wealth OF gowns was for
her personal use.
As such nonresident she was
entitled to bring the gowns to the
United States duty free. The govern
mcnt alleges, however, that the wom-
an was one of several agents of large
dressmaling establishments employed
to go abroad every season to purchase
the most expensive and latest gowns,
posing as wealthy foreigners when
they arrive in this country.
