SCORES THE PAPERS
Rev Parker Thinks They
Are Too Sensational.

In a sermon last evening at the
First M. E. church, the Rev. B. Earle
Parker, pastor. urged the members of
this congregation and others to devote
more of their time to the reading of
good literature.
/ Although he declared that he read
the papers daily said that the news
paper is indispensable. and that Hen
ry George and other great literary
writer's have arisen from the journals
tic profession the Rev. Parker scored
the columns of the daily press which
are devoted to murders, suicides and
divorces.
The career of Henry George from
the period he was a reporter on the
San Francisco papers up to the time
when he wrote on the single tax ques-
tion was traced by the Rev. Parker in
his sermon. He said that Mr. George
had done a great deal for the poorer
classes of the country by the promul-
cation Of his theories on the single
tax question. The Rev. Parker also
spoke of Georges Progress and Pow
erty"
The Rev. Parker declared that more
can be gained through the reading OF
good literature, than through any 9TH
er course.

RUBS TWO Matches
GIRL MEETS DEATH
Miss Glenna Potterf, Near
Eaton, Cremated at Home
Sunday Afternoon.
palladium Specially

Eaton, Ohio, June 3.-Miss Glenna
Potterf, aged twenty-five, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Potterf living four
miles southwest of this place, was
burned to death yesterday afternoon
at her home.
Miss Potterf and her sister were
alone in their home. While sitting in
the dining room, conversing after the
MONDAY meal, Miss Potterf was hold
ing two matches in her hands and
thoughtlessly rubbed the heads of the
matches together, the friction causing
them to ignite. One of the matches
dropped upon the girls lap and ig-
nited.
The flimsy outer garment was soon
blazing and the girls body was envel-
oped in flames. Crazed from fright,
the girl stood motionless while the
fierce blazes scorched her body.
In an attempt to extinguish the
blaze the girls sister was fearfully
burned, although it is believed that
she is not seriously hurt. Miss Glenna
Potterf died within short time.
There was current report in the
neighborhood in which the Potterfs
live that the girl had committed sui
eide. However, Dr. J. G. Rider, who
was called to the home soon after the
accident by the distracted sister, stat
ed that he found no evidences which
would substantiate in any manner the
report. He declared that such re-
port was without foundation, although
it was known that the unfortunate girl
had been in ill health for some time.
The victim of the accident was we'll
known among the younger people of
this vicinity. Her father is wealthy
farmer

Homes of Bert Cook and l..
M. Jones, Just Outside City
Limits, Destroyed Sunday
Afternoon.
CITY FIREMAN HAD
A DIFFICULT TASK
Had to Stretch Hose Long
Distance and Tear Down
Two Fences to Get Streams
on the Houses.

A fire starting on the roof of the
Bert Cook home. one-quarter of mile
northwest of the city yesterday noon,
caused a loss of about $4,000 to that
residence, burning it to the ground.
The flames also communicated to the
L. NJ. Jones home, east of the Cook
home, and burned it nearly to the
ground, causing a loss of about $4,000.
Mr.. Cook carried $500 insurance and
Jones $4,000.
The alarm was turned in at H. 80
by a neighbor who saw flames coming
of the Cook home. Mr.. and Mrs. Cook
and daughter were at church at that
time. The No. 1, 2 and fire depart.
ments responded, but could not get
their hose laid to the fire in time to
save the buildings. 1t was necessary
to connect the hose with a hydrant
1900 feet away and then call for ad
ditional pressure before the stream
could be thrown in the buildings. BY
this time the Jones home was afire
the stiff west wind aiding the flames
Both homes were large frame build
ings.
A number of young men living in
Fairview, who were playing ball near
by responded to the alarm and with
the help of the firemen saved practic
ally all the furnishings of the Jones
home, but very few could be taken
from the Cook home because of the
intense heat.
The firemen were handicapped in
their work by the start the fire had
secured, the lack of sufficient press
ure on the water line, and the stiff
wind. They had to cut down two
fences before they could get the line
of hose stretched to the scene of the
fire.
When it was seen that the Cook
home could not be saved, the firemer
threw streams on the Jones home and
| three other homes nearby. The Jones
home caught fire, however. and was
gutted by the flames, the shell of the
framework being all that remains
The loss of household furnishings
which were burned will amount tc
several hundred dollars. in each home
Several of the firemen and volunteer
firemen were slightly burned from at
tempts to enter the buildings at the
time of the fire.

Senator Holds Balance of
Power at State Convention
and Fears to Take Sides
in the Fight.
NEITHER SIDE TO.
GRANT COMPROMISE
Burton Spent Today Holding
Conferences Trying to Ar
range a Compromise, but
Meets Failure.
(NatfonaI News Association)


Columbus, o., June 3.--National pol
itics today turned to the Ohio Repub-
Ican convention which went into ses-
sion here with program entailing
the selection of six delegates-at-large
to the Chicago convention, the cleo
tion of party officials, the nomination
of complete state ticket and the
drafting of a general platform of
principles. AS the delegates gathered
for their preliminary district meetings
prior to the opening of the convention
this evening, interest centered upon
a series of conferences between the
Taft and Roosevelt supporters, and
Senator Theodore Burton, who, rep
resenting the uninstructed delegates
of Cuyahoga county, held the balance
of power between the warning factions
and who, admittedly, was in a position
to throw the "big six delegation
either to the administration forces or
to the fighting colonel Of Oyster Bay.
Senator Burton closeted himself this
morning first with C. D. Hilles, secre-
tary of the president, and then with
Walter F. Brown, manager of the
Roosevelt campaign. While these
conferences were held behind closed
doors it was known from authoritive
sources that Mr.. Burton was trying
to effect compromise between the
two factions which would equally di-
vide the six delegates-at-large be-
tween Taft and Roosevelt. Neither
Mr.. Hilles or Mr.. Brown will accept
a compromise and declared it was to
be a war to the bitter end. Burton,
desirous of avoiding bitter factional
feud, in which he would become the
object of attack by the triumph of one
faction or the other, was still endeav-
oring at noon to bring the Taft and
Roosevelt forces together.
Both Claim Victory.
Roosevelt men at noon We're claim
Taft managers claimed 406 with 378
necessary to control. There was
strong reason to believe however, that
neither side was certain, and all eyes
were turned to Burton.
1t was known that Senator Burton
was fighting desperately for the Taft
faction, which he<has repeatedly COM
mended in the e~highest terms of praise.
The Roosevelt strength at the Ohio
primary and the aggressive attitude
of the colonefs supporters at the con-
vention overawed the senator and he
was not willing to lay his political fu-
ture upon the alter of sacrifice for one
faction or the other. 1t thus became
the fight of one man against two war.
ring factions, each with the slogan
of mo compromise" who were en-
deavoring to force him to decide in
favor of one faction or the other with
the United States senatorship as the
stake.
The delegates were divided today
as to whetherga state ticket should be
named at this ticket or that action be
postponed until after the national
convention. The Roosevelt forces are
behind ID. F. Anderson of Youngstown
for governor. while the Taft men are
supporting the candidacy of State
Representative Lawrence Langdon, of
Lebanon.

In the new year may we keep our
reverence unimpaired for the hum
ble-minded, and those who have suf-
fered much; our humor alert for our
own mistakes and our self-sufficiency,
and not at any time wreak it upon
the aged, the crippled, the obscure,
May we guard childhood and honor
age, however infirm and petulant, be-
cause 1t has gone long way on the
same road that bruises our feet; and
ever seek to prolong the brief moment
of joy as it visits children and lovers.
May we have the grace to rejoice in
the flow Of life as it moves through
from generation to generation, and to
be purified by the mystery in which
we dwell-the night silences and the
wonder Of our inner life. May we
know that humanity is vaster than
any creed of it's devising, any church
of it's building, any religion of its
shaping. May we look upon the wide-
spread spectacle of human suffering
and, having endured to look upon it
learn to know our single life-seem-
ingly so unique-as drop of that in.
finite sea. When it comes our time
to realize that in this earthly progress
we shall not long dwell with happiness
or with success, may we clear our
spirit of bitterness and in calm
strength contin-s at che work.-Col.
