R. R. ROUTE IN DOUBT

The route the Cleveland Wooster
electric line is to take at Wadsworth
is in doubt. The company has been
unable to obtain sufficient consents to
run into the town on Pardee street
and even should the route follow that
street will cost about $4,000 tc
move houses, and the community
lwould cost about .$12 OOO. to Isl : 00(
more than what is known as the west
corporation route would.
The Wadsworth people would like to
know what about the spur into the
square that the company promised.
The name of the railroad has been
changed from the Cleveland, Barber
ton, Coshocton & GAINESVILLE Electric
Railway company to the Cleveland &
Ohio Central Electric Railway COM
pany and by recent action of the di-
rectors, Barberton, Doylestown, Mar
shallville and Orrville are left off the
line.

Hover identified the property in
Cleveland Friday afternoon.
In confessing the robbery the boys
told Of having been connected with a
gang of fencers since the first Of the
year, who have been Systematically
robbing stores. The Hover store has
been broken into a number of times
during the past year and when the
boys were asked why they had singled
out the Lodi establishment they said
it was because that store was known
to be an easy place to get into.
Barteau is single man and Gore is
married. The formers sister and the
latter's wife accompanied by an Of.
ficer from the city, were in town Sat
urday when Sheriff Gehman arrived
with the boys for the purpose Of
arranging, if possible, for bond fol

have suggested that the penalty which
shall be imposed upon the boys be as
light as possible because of the valu-

running down the gang to which the
boys belong and which has been Civ

trouble for some time.

+, REORGANIZATION DAY.

That the Fourth Of July this year
be "Americanization Day, day for
strengthening the American spirit Of
nationality and uniting all classes,
0creeds and races into one intelligent
democracy" is the appeal of DR.. Phil
ander P. Claxton, federal commission
er Of education in a letter to 1000 mu-
nicipal authorities over the country.
Reports from various parts of the ma
tion are to the effect that in more than
fifty large cities the movement is un-
der way with prospects Of making In
dependence day this year particularly
memorable.
Foreign societies in the cities are
taking great interest in this movement
for making better Americans of those
who have come here in recent years
from other lands, to give them a much
broader view of what America means
to the foreigner and the part the adj
opted American should have in help
ing America to achieve its highest des
tiny Of blessing to the nations of the
world.

DIRT ROAD PART
OF IMPROVED ROAD

For a long time the question has
been in dispute as to whom the duty
rested for the improvement of dirt
roads running parallel and alongside
of improved roads. On the strength
Of an alleged ruling by former
Attorney General Hogan the duty has
been placed upon township trustees,
that is, not upon the improved road
authorities.
Unable to find any law upon the
subject, other than the reported
opinion of Mr.. Hogan, Prosecuting
Attorney Underwood sought and re-
ceived the following opinion from
Attorney General Turner.
In the first place the attorney gen.
eral says that upon careful examin-
alton he is unable to find that the
department had ever rendered an opin-
ion upon the question submitted.
Neither could he find any provision
expressly authorizing township trus-
tees or any other official or officials
to keep in repair the dirt roads above
referred to. Mr.. Turner is of the
opinion that the dirt road is part of
the improved road and is constructed
for the purpose of relieving the i'm
proved road of part Of the traffic
during certain months of the year by
affording an extra driveway for
traffic.
The Attorney General quotes Mr..
A. H. Hinkle of the State Highway
department that wherever a dirt road
has been constructed parallel to an
improved road, the State Highway
Commissioner has considered it as
merely a part of the improved road,
and that in repairing the improved
road it has been the practice of the
department to grade and crown the
dirt road and to provide proper drain
age for it so that it will be available
for traffic during the summer and fall
of the year.
Attorney General Turner gives then
as his fnalopinion that "the official
or officials charged by statute with
the repairs of an improved state,
county or township road, have author
ity to repair the dirt road parallel to
= ss ~ .esr>a.rS,t;as s;sh tho ,i,sagl ONeel

NINE MILES FOR $1.5O

Tuesday night Ford Cannon received

worth of shoe leather for $1.5O.
Previously he had entered into a
wager with Ed. Handchy for the above
amount that he could beat the latter in
a walk to Seville and the hour set for
starting was 5 o'clock Tuesday night.
Cannon covered the distance in one
hour and thirty-two minutes, defeating
Handchy by one-fourth Of minute.

MAIL MEN GET INCREASE

found guilty last week Thursday night
.gby q Wayne county jury Of having
!. procured a criminal operation Oh
Margaret Hogue, also Of Brunswick
A motion for a new trial was filed
BY Waite's attorneys Saturday morn
ing.
The chief grounds for asking a
new trial is the action Of the prose
cutting attorney in "wrongfully
viciously and violently accusing the
defendant before the court and jury
of staring at the prosecuting witness
Margaret Hogue, .and which was
meant and intended, and would have
no other effect than to predujice the
jury against the defendant, when. in
fact the defendant was doing nc
wrong, but Simply looking at the
prosecuting attorney and in the
prosecutor saying that If Waite
should be found guilty, he 1.-THE
prosecutor) would use his influence
.to have Waite sent to the peniten-
tiary.
Another ground for new trial il
that the venue of the case is in

Medina county and not in Wayne, in
which the alleged crime was com
rnitted.
Nine grounds for new trial are
set forth, among them being the dis

with performing criminal operation
in connection with the case against
Wiley Waite Of Medina county, was

nance which council at its meeting last
