Is Able To Start In Without
Any Delay
Many Contractors Leave City
Without Bidding
Local Mans Bids $1,000 Be-
low Average Of All Others

On all nine Of the jobs, eight paw
ing and one sewer, bids for which
were opened Wednesday afternoon,
Arthur A. Graham of Mt. Vernon was
low man.
This rather unusual event was
quite little surprise to the success
full bidder himself, who had not fig
ured on besting competitors on so
much work, particularly when he saw
against whom he was bidding.
The contracts for the work will
probably be awarded Mr.. Graham
next Monday. He told a reporter OF
The Banner Wednesday afternoon
that, in event of such award, he will
gladly take the work.
Mr.. Graham stated that two weeks
will see the completion of the sewer
job in Centerburg on which he has
been working for some time and that
after this he will be absolutely free
He said that the completion of the
nine contracts would require period
Of two years or over.
When asked if he had thought OF
sub-letting the contracts if awarded
to him, Mr.. Graham replied that he
was figuring along these very lines
with man who desired to do this
but he doubted if the deal would GO
through.
Mr.. Graham manifested keen pleas
ure over his success and said he
would begin work Immediately if the
contracts were warded him.
Graham and Jay Kile, also Of this
city, were the only contractors who
submitted bids for the entire nine
jobs. s. T. Knight bid on seven
while Lee, Grigg & Anderson and Ed
mund Burke bid on five. Contractors
steered rather clear of the West Bur
CESS street job, on account Of the
danger, they said, of water running
down the hill after the work was
once started ard destroying much o.
what had been done.
Many contractors came to Mt. Yer

morning, intending TO view thu

of these remained after the bids wer

Which Killed Five LOudOn-
vile Residents Unknown
MISS HOFFMAN NOT A victim
Having Remained in Mansfield--calI-
ing Cards Give Rise to Rumor
of Her Death-Bodies Taken
to oudonville-FuneraI
Held Thursday

No further information concerning
the accident which cost the lives Of
five Loudonville people Tuesday has
been ascertained, says the Mansfield
Shield.
The immediate cause of the acci.
dent will never be known as all the
occupants of the machine we're in
stantly killed or died a short time af-
ter the accident without regaining
consciousness. Clifford Rummel, who
lives at the crossing, was pumping
water about fifty feet from the tracks
when the crash came but did not see
it occur. Michael Ackerman, ma
chinist of this city, following closely
behind the ill-fated machine, was un-
able to see the accident on account
of heavy dust clouds but arrived at
the spot few seconds later.
1t is understood that Simon S. Nau
was driving the automobile and that
his son, Albert, was at his side, while
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Baum and Mrs.
Nau occupied the rear seat. The au-
tomobile belonging to Mr.. Nau was a
new one and it is said that he was an
experienced and careful driver.
Miss Amy Hoffman, whom it was
reported had been in the machine,
was located in Mansfield and did not
return to Loudonville with the little
party. Her calling cards in Mrs.
Baum's pocketbook gave rise to the
rumor. It was first given out that
Miss Hoffman had been in Loudon-
vile at the time Of the accident but
she has been visiting in Mansfield and
went to the cemetery in the Nau au-
tomobile to attend the funeral of the
late James O'Hearn on Tuesday
morning. Miss Hoffman is a close
friend of the Nau family.
The bodies of all five Of the victims
were taken to Niman's undertaking
establishment where they were pre-
pared for burial. The bodies of Baum
and Nau who were instantly killed,
were taken to the parlors directly
from the Pennsylvania station, and
the other bodies were removed from
the Emergency hospital where they
died. The remains were taken to
Loudonville early Wednesday morn
ing for burial.
The funeral services of all five vic
tins were held from st. Peters Cath
olic church in Loudonville Thursday
morning, conducted by Rev. j. w.
Smitz. All of the deceased were
prominent and respected members of
Loudonville and the neighboring com.
munity and their death is one Of the
deepest tragedies the little village
has seen.

Urged By Judge Levine At
NOOR-Day Luncheon
EMPHASIZE The Credit Side
OF Man In Daily Dealings With Him
And Community viii Be I'm
proved-Idea Of Reasonable
Compromise Upheld by
Cleveland Common
Pleas Judge

The Hon. Benjamin Levine of
Cleveland, common pleas Judge who
is visiting in the city, addressed mem
bers of the chamber Of commerce at
the regular MONDAY luncheon We'd |
nesday on the subject, "The Making
of a City,"
Judge Levine started in his legal
career originally as a police court
Judge. Through his efforts, the mu-
nicipal court was established, over
which he presided several years,
later being elected to the common
pleas bench. He was instrumental
in the establishment of the concilia- !
tory court of Cleveland in 1913
In 1907, Judge Levine visited the
principal cities of the country in
search of a definition for justice. He
received 200 replies, none of which
agreed.
Simmering down the various an
swers and adding to the crystalliza-
ton his own experience, Judge Levine
finally determined that the best def
milton of justice is: "The science Of
obtaining human balances"
Judge Levine referred to the ten
dency to emphasize the debit side,
both on the part of judges in dealing
with criminals and on the part of
merchants in the marts of trade. He
pleaded for a better understanding of
human nature and a more charitable
attitude toward the citizens of the
world.
He spoke of James Russell Lowell's
definition of a Democracy-In a De-
mocracy, you shall not say, 81 am as
good as you are" but you shall say,
"You are as good as l am"-and then
showed the relation between this and
his definition of justice.
The Cleveland chamber of COM
merce, Judge Levine stated, places
especial stress on bringing out the
soul quality in man. This, the speak
er stated, is Americas greatest need.
| Chambers of commerce, banding to-
gether 100 men or more, have great
opportunities for extracting this soul
quality. This is always done by
seeking to improve not only the busi-
ness conditions of the individual mer-
chant, but those of the community at
large. 'Tf you do this and feel a
certain happiness" Judge Levine
said, "then you possess the soul quail
ity."
Every phase Of human life and en-
deavor is dealt with in Cleveland by
the chamber of commerce which re-
alizes that too much emphasis has in
days gone by been placed on the ma
terialistic side of life. The result is
changed attitude toward the cham
ber on the part of the workingmep.
Tracing the origin and rise of the
courts of Cancellation of Norway and
Denmark, Judge Levine stated that,
since the establishment of a model of
these courts in Cleveland on March
IS, 1916, two hundred thousand cases
have been settled.
He spoke of the great reductions
thus made in litigation and pointed
: out the immense benefit to the COM
munity in the placing forward of the
idea of reasonable compromises
idea which will keep nations out OF
war.
Judge Levine's talk was heartily
appreciated by the members OF the
chamber who were loud in their
praise of his splendid words.

Newark Attorney Institutes
Foreclosure Proceedings
Seeking Sale Of Jackson Tp.
Property Of Gibbs
On Which Others Have
Claims News From Court

An opinion dissenting from the |
judgment Of Judges Houck and |
Shields, has been filed with Clerk of |
Courts Taylor by Judge l.. X. Powell
of the Fifth appellate district of Ohio
in the case of The Discount & Deposit
State Bank VS.. B. 3. Lift and Irena
Lift.
The opinion is very lengthy and
goes into the merits of both sides of
the case in detail. 1t cites seven er-
rors which would have justified the
reversal of the case when 1t came to
the appellate court.
The action was originally brought
to recover $1,10O on note executed
in February, '13. During the Decem-
Der, 1915, term of common pleas, a
Judgment was rendered for the de-
PENDANTS. The case was appealed and
the decision of the lower court was
affirmed by Judges Houck and Shields,
Judge Powell dissenting.
Foreclosure Sought
Carl Norpell a Newark attorney,
has instituted an action in common
pleas against Alonzo L. Gibbs, Joe
Rice, Charles H. Wiltsie and William
A. Silcott, seeking foreclosure of
mortgage, held by him, against GER
tain property.
Plaintiff states that Gibbs on Aug.
"a, 1910, executed two promissory
notes in the sums of $50 and $3.50 to
Ellen M. Neff. These notes were
later transferred by sale to plaintiff,
together with mortgage on proper
ty in Jackson township.
The plaintiff further states that Joe
Rice claims an interest in this prop
erty by judgment and Charles H.
Wiltsie and William A. Silcott by
reason of having purchased premises
at tax sale.
He asks that an account be taken
of the amount due him and, II this
be not paid, that the premises be
sold and the proceeds applied to his
claim. Further, he asks that defend
ants set up their claims.
He is his own attorney.

 There doesn't seem to be unless one elopes, and there are so many disadvan- tages connected with that, to say noth- ing of the shade of disgrace that always seems to hang about a runaway match. that no one of common sense would con sider it soberly. No am afraid we will just have to put up with the trials and tribulations connected with getting mar ried in consideration of the joys and blessings that accompany and flow from 1t.
 So would advise my correspondent to offer her Tom such consolation as she can and to take the same to herself After all he is getting married only once probably-certainly not more than once to the same girl-and his mother does not wish any thought of dissatisfaction on her part to mar his happy remembrance of the occas sion.
 I may say in consolation that I have ob- served that in spite Of the worries that often encompass a wedding and wear upon both the bride and the bridegroom, the memory of it is sufficiently pleasant afterwards to blot out the recollections of annoyances. But the one thing that
