The tournament was to have start

AKRON POLICE
Drop Case Temporarily When Wit

Centerburg, March 25-After con-
versation late this morning with Ak
ron police officials, Marshal Evans of
this village decided to place charges
of assisting a prisoner to escape and
of resisting an officer against Clar-
ence Foster and Glenn Selby.
The Akron chief of police was in
formed yesterday evening that the
Fosters had been apprehended here.
He Immediately took up the Akron
end of the alleged robbery and this
morning telephoned Marshal Evans
that two important witnesses, men by
the names of Allen and Stanford
could not be located, and that the
case accordingly would be temporar
lily dropped.
With Charles Foster back in the
penitentiary, Marshal Evans thought
that some action should be taken
against Clarence Foster and Glenn
Selby for their conduct yesterday, sc
they will be arraigned ON the above
charges.
II the Akron witnesses are located
and the case against Foster appears
good, he will be arrested later anC
taken to Akron.

ALTHOUSE
A Stimulus To SingGFS-.-HiS
Rise Sensational

The recent sensational rise OF Paul
Althouse, tenor, will always remain
an incentive to young American sing
ers. Five years ago he was chemist
for the Reading Coal Iron Co., and
was soloist in the local church. His
ambition was to sing in opera, and
through Oscar Hammerstein, he was
given the opportunity. He has since
had a most marvellous success for
one so young.
He has been soloist with the New
York Symphony orchestra under Wal
ter Damrosch's direction; has been
engaged with the Metropolitan Opera
Co. of New York city, which, in itself,
places him among the elect; and he
has been constantly engaged in con-
cert work along with these other en-
gagements. He has been employed
by talking machine company and
his records are very popular.
At recent engagement at Utica,
N. Y, he was Immediately engaged
for next year. The Utica Observer
says "Mr. Althouse sang with a
warmth of feeling and dramatic ex-
preston that gained the immediate
approval Of the house. His voice is
not only rich, powerful and sweet,
but also subtle in expression"
To those who were so enthused by
Evan Williams singing last year, Mr.
Althouse is said, by those who have
heard him, to be the equal, il not the
peer, of that distinguished artist.

IRE
In Walker Lumber Yard With
Loss Of $500

What might have been a very dis
astrous fire was averted early Satur-
day morning by the prompt action of
the fire department at the Walker
lumber yard on West Vine street.
The fire department was called
about 12:45 o'clock and found a brisk
confagration in the storage room,
which required about an hour and a
half to subdue.
Mr.. Walker stated Saturday morn
ing that his loss would probably be
about $500. The cause of the fire is
unknown, but it is thought to have
started by spark from the engine
alighting in a pile of waste.
The loss was partially covered by
insurance.

A MODERN

Is Estimate Of Husband By
Mrs. Moore
In Her Cross Petition In His
Divorce Action
A Red Hot Document Filed
By The Wife
Chisholm Files Two New Suits
Claiming Property
Suit To COnStrue Two Items
Of The Owen Will

An answer and cross-petition has
been filed by Alice Browne Moore in
the action for divorce instituted by
Clement E. Moore. She denies all
the charges made by her husband.
She charges that he represented that
he was worth $4,000 when all his pos
session was promissory note for
$1,000. She says he insisted that she
put her property in his name and up
on her refusal abused and cruelty mis-
treated her. She says that as she
had paid numerous debts of her hus-
band, he transferred the promissory
note for $1,000 to her, and that she
traded the note for four pianos, two
of which she still owns. She charges
that, unbeknown to her, the plaintiff
would take money from her purse;
that he refused to work on the farm
and help support her; that he repre-
sented himself as morally pure,
whereas "he was a modern Don Juan
who had associated with women of
easy virtue;" that ne maintained
clandestine correspondence with Co.
lumbus women. She charges that he
committed adultery with Gambler
women; that he was guilty of an as.
sault upon defendant and struck her
with his fist. She asks for divorce
on her cross petition. Greer, Greer &
Cromley, attorneys for defendant.

VALUABLE HINTS
To Those Sending Announcements to

The following paragraph is found
in a little booklet on "Hints to cor.

casional news items" and might well
be borne in mind by persons to send
to this office for publication advance
mention of meetings of church or
lodge organizations or such other no
tices as are of interest to a compare.
lively few readers rather than of gen.
eral interest:
DO not phrase notices of COM
ing meetings in the language of
pulpit announcements Remem-
ber that the newspaper is imper-
sonal and makes these announce
ments for all people, all sects, all
denominations. Therefore it does
not hope every member will be
present or feel that this is a =
glorious work and should be lib
orally supported or express the
thousand and one other common
places that are altogether per-
sonal to the people Immediately
concerned. The newspaper seeks
simply to give the news-kernel of
the matter-the announcement
that such and such thing is go
ing to happen"
Brevity is an admirable trait il
persons who send to newspapers
items of coming meetings for free
publication and all unnecessary ad
ditions to items of this sort, such az

of their mission, appeared i'm Center

streets at the time with violent
threats of what he would do if they

second posse, in charge of Deputy
Marshal Harry Willie, rapidly formed
itself to pursue Clarence. The latter

though not in any way connected with
the Akron robbery, is staunch parti-
san of the Foster boys.

Foster and Shelby were overtaken
by the posse and commanded to throw
up their hands, Clarence Foster had
his hand on his hip at the time and
was still carrying on what later prov.
ed to be bluff. He did not comply
and Deputy Marshal vii.
lie without hesitation sent shot in
his direction. This had the desired
effect and both Foster and Selby were
placed in irons and taken back to the
village.
SHERIFF WooLIsoN CALLED
The three men were placed in the
city lookup and, on account of the
critical illness of DIR. Robert Best who
lives close by, Sheriff Woolison was
called over the telephone at O'Clock
last night. The sheriff was asked to
come after Clarence Foster and Glenn
Selby and place them in the county
Jail, as the noise they were making
was very disturbing to Dr. Best. The
sheriff had no means of getting tC
Centerburg, however, on account OF
bad roads, so Foster and Selby
were allowed to spend the night in
the locp-up.
RETURNED TO PEN
Marshal Evans went to Columbus
yesterday evening, taking with him
Charles Foster, who was released
from the Ohio penitentiary not long
ago on parole. He had served out on
ly four years of his term.
ALWAYS OUTLAWS
There are no two names that have
been so prominent in county police
circles in recent years as those OF
Clarence and Charles Foster. Even
prior to the robbery of the Mcclure
store, they were trouble-makers. Rec
ords show that Charles Foster was
fined $50 in 1909 for assault with in
tent to kill and, later in the same
year, was incarcerated for abusing
and resisting an officer.
1t was exactly four years ago yes
terday that the Foster boys, together
with Selby, were indicted by the
grand jury on charge of robbing the
Mcclure store at Centerburg. Subse
quently found guilty, Clarence was
sentenced to three years in the pen
itentiary, the greater portion of whicl
term he served; Charles was given 1.
years and later paroled and Glenn
Selby was sentenced to the Mansfield
reformatory.
SELeY NOT IMPLICATED
1t is not thought that Selby hat
anything to do with the Akron rob
berry and he probably will face nj
more serious charge than that of re
sisting an officer. His friendship will
the Foster boys led him to take thei
side yesterday.

up the Fosters and Selby yesterday
