AMENDS STATE
BANKING LAW

By the bill presented to the house
by Representative Brown of Union
and to the senate by Senator Winans
Of Lake, legislation is sought to cure
conditions brought to light recently by
the Winans probe of the state bank
ing department. BY the terms of
this bill the state superintendent of
banks need not examine a bank often
er than once year, but may do so as
often as he pleases. To keep down the
cost Of liquidating defaulted banks, ex
'penses must be approved by the COM
mon pleas court. Funds of the bank
remaining in the hands Of the superin-
tendent after six months must be paid
into the state treasury and disbursed
on the warrant Of the bank superin-
tendent keeping indefinitely the funds
of a closed bank in the vaults Of a
rival bank. The blue sky law is to
be strengthened by giving the blue sky
commissioner power TO revoke a
license granted to sell stock in Ohio.
Revocation is to follow any abuse Of
the license. y

STATEMENT BY REV. HAss

Concerning the public agitation over
the question Of vaccination of school
children, in which at the present time
the children of Rev. F. w. Hass and
Dan Pelton are involved, we received
the following communication from the
former gentleman with the request
that we publish it. We do so cheer
fully:
Ed. Sentinel:
wish to add to the public fund Of
information concerning the vaccination
question the following items:
/. That about three weeks after
the time of reopening Of the schools in
February, / presented the ceses of
my children to DR.. Damon, who had
treated the children in the home. Be
cause Of abnormal conditions Of the
throat, developing partly from sieges
of whooping cough which the children
had had, DR.. Damon granted both
children certificates excusing them
from vaccination, as the law allows.
2. That these certificates were
later renewed at the request Of the
school board.
8. That on Monday, April 25, at
the Office Of Dr.. Damon, Drs- Robin
son and Freeman both examined the
children and granted that the abnorm-
alities Of the throat existed.
a. That DR.. freeman conceded that
at least minor operations would be
necessary to the removal Of these abb
normalities.
S. That DR.. Damon has again GER
titled that these children are not At
present in condition to be vaccinated.
6. That the children are refused
admission to the schools because DR..
Freeman, who never saw the children
until he was introduced to them at DE-.
Damon's Office, refuses to concur in the
certificate Of Or. Damon; which Is not

WITH NO ACCOUNT
. HE WRITES CHECKS

/. E. W. Hommel, the fiattening Of
whose face by his employer, VIM. H.
Eberle, last week Monday afternoon
at Chippewa Lake, was published in
the Sentinel, is still in evidence local
ly, although the exact whereabout of
his person is tnobtainable. Checks
have been appearing at the Medina
County National Bank, some signed
"The Wm. H. Eberle Co., per Eberle, /"
some bearing the company's name, per
Eommel, and still another without the
company's name, but bearing only the
name "E. w. Hommel.D NJ Il ,s
Eberle stated to the bank officers
and also to the Sentinel editor, that
those in which his name was used were
forgeries. The checks were returned.
Having no personal account with the
bank, of course the personal check
signed by Hommel was also immedi-
ately returned. The latter was cashed
by a Toledo bank. Eberle states that
Homnnel has forged his name to sew
eral checks in Cleveland since the
trouble Of q week ago. Mr.. and Mrs.
Eberle are reunited and have spent
some time in Medina together the
past week. The formers hand, which
was. broken simultaneous with. the face
Of Hommel, Is still in splints.

portioning the cost to each individual

fit by the ditch, there were two who

cradle discussion the commissioners
were convinced that a reduction should
be made Of $50 each in the apportion-
ment Of these two gentlemen and the
reduction was 50 ordered. Investiga-

CHARGED WITH
SERIOUS OFFENSE

Wooster papers publish the indict-
meHt in the Wayne county court of
Or. .. W, Lehr Of that city and Mylie
Waite Of Brunswick, this county, for
the alleged performing and procur-
Ing Of criminal operation. Margaret
Hogue, 18, Of Brunswick, is the young
woman named in connection with the
case.
Waite was arrested late Thursday
night Of last week in the office Of his
attorney, Geo. W., Smith, at Medina,
by Deputy Sheriff Miller Of Wooster
and immediately taken to the latter
city. g~
Waite denies the charge and in
formed Deputy Miller that he will
fight his case in court. Waite is a
carpenter contractor and is about 28
years old. He is unmarried. Deputy

Deputy County Clerk Frank Gerlach
Of Wooster.

Dan Pelton to safeguard his rights,
Wednesday the board directed that
the order be rescinded, Notice of such
action was announced throughout the
school and the children over whose
physical condition the trouble has
arisen were accorded full rights in
class.
The summary action Of the board in
resembling the order was for the reas=
on that the minutes Of their meeting
at which the order was decided upon
were imperfect from q legal stand
point. However, the board Wednes-
day evening convened in special ses-
sion, unders the advice Of their legal
council, Attorneys F. W. Woods and
r. O. Phillips, and, fortified as they
claim, by q State Supreme Court de-
cision in q case identical with the one
at issue, issued a new order in essence
the same as the first one and which
will go into effect next Thursday,
May ii. In other words any pupil
who has not been yaccinated before
that time or who does not bring to
his or her teacher a certificate Of Ill
health signed BY DR. Freeman, will
not be allowed any right or privilege
Of the school other than that Of d Wis
itor. In this latest action Of the
board we are informed they are ready
for . legal contest. y

SPORTY MINISTER
LOSES DOLLAR BET

Rev. H. S. Fritsch employed a
rather unique method of inveigling
three Medina boys to attend his even
ing service last Sunday or at least to
test their sporting qualities. While
settling a meat bill at Henry Young's
the latter jestingly remarked that the
Rev. was a couple of days ahead Of
time. Rev. Fritsch, also jestingly,
said that by so doing he figured that
maybe Henry would attend his meet
ing the next night, accompanying his
statement with the wager of a dollar
that Henry and John Butdorff and
Fred Mabry, the latter two who were
standing near by, would not be at the
meeting, Henry promptly drew forth
a crisp green-back and covered that If

Sunday evening at 7;55, the three
boys, dressed in their best bib and
tucker, met at Frank Menagay's res
taurant BY appointment and fled into
the Congregational church on time.
They seated themselves well down in
front in order to remove any doubt
that might exist in the mind, Of the
Rev. as to their presence and for the
double purpose Of giving him addition

.CLOGGING OF THE
SEWER SYSTEM

Anyone who will take the time tc
visit the village sewage disposal plant
and the vicinity will exert more care
in the future as to what they permit
to enter their lavatory bowls. The
writer made a tour of inspection one
day this week and what he saw he is
in no likelihood Of forgetting.
For more than year water has
backed up into the cellars of homes on
North Court street following rain.
The amount of water necessary to
flush the sewers under normal condi-
tions is 10000 gallons a day, For a
number of months the amount used
has reached the enormous amount of
10000 gallons day, and even this
amount has not been sufficient to re-
lieve the congested condition of the
sewer system, and moreover there
only remains in the standpipe from Is
to Is feet Of water when pumping is
begun each day. The danger to the
village of such condition in the event
of fire cannot be estimated.
Superintendent of Water and Sewer
Lyle Rollins and two assistants have
been busy the past two weeks in an
effort to clear the main channel. No
less than $50 feet of jointed sewer
poles were borrowed from Cleveland
by Mayor Randall, which, with what
the village owned, has been necessary
to reach from the various manholes
The articles that have been dug out
and washed down are enough to stag
ger one. Almost everything from a
hay tedder to a toy balloon. Supt,
Rollins says that he was nearly over
come by the conflicting emotions Of
rage and mirth the other day when
there appeared at an opening the bot
tom end of one Of the red cards re-
Gently posted throughout the town
cautioning the people against putting
debris in their closets. Rollins says
the printed side of the card was up
permost and bore the familiar line, "A
word ito the wise is sufficient"
Besides the careless action of GER
tain citizens, willow trees along the
west side of North Harmony street
have likewise been getting in their
deadly work. In places it was dis
covered that roots from these trees
had Travelled ten of more FEET and thsf
| took a course straight downward
forcing their way through the joints
Of the sewer pipe and all but closing
the passage.
The inspector who superintendent the
Laying of the sewer system in Medina
must have been peach, as in un-
earthing as few as three sections Of
pipe workmen found gaps between the
joints of four inches or more.
There is a great deal more to be
said about this matter and the SEN
tinei regrets tnat time and space will
rot remit a more extended discussion
tits week.
