MATCH WORKERS QUIT
WORK AT WADSWORTH

Five hundred employees of the Wads-
worth Ohio Match Co. practically the
entire force. went on strike Saturday
morning for an eight-hour day with
pay for ten hours.
The strike was precipitated, accord
ing to employees, by the refusal of
foremen to give the men a chance
to see the guardsmen marching past
the factory on their return from the
border Thursday night. The men
left work and went to the windows
and they say they were docked a half
hour.
Shopgirls and many of the men
we're met at the doors by committees
Of strikers and advised not to 60 to
work Saturday morning. .
This is the second strike at the
match plant within year. Employees
gained a wage increase of 2h cents
an hour by the former strike.
. Sheriff Gehman was called to Wads-
worth on Saturday and again on Mon
dav but says he found no occasion for
eIie calls. The match com paslg psi
loff the strikers and discharged them
but are willing to take them back II
they make application as new men and
at the former hours and salary. The
company also announces that hence
forth there will be no night shift. 1t
was reported Thursday that some of
the men are applying for their old
Jobs, while large number have found
positions in Barberton.

commissioners BUSY
WITH ROAD AFFAIRS

If the County Commissioners antici-
pated their usual weekly triple and
quiet talk-fest last Monday, they were
sadly disappointed. There was talk
fest, of course but not triple. Be-
fore the last commissioner was in his
seat Monday morning, trustees from
Westfeld, Liverpool, Spencer, Lafay-
cite and even Medina ownships, we're
on hand to register their needs for
money with which to improve the
roads of their respective townships.
For several weeks the trustees Of
various townships have presented their
needs to the commissioners, but not
until Monday did the officers Of the
various townships assemble in such a
bunch. The plight of the Commission
ers was pitiful. There were too many
in front of the exit for them to get
out, and their knowledge of the intri-
cacies Of the Cass Highway law is
about as extensive as a kindergarten
pupils comprehension of Euclid.
The road needs of the various town.
ships are unquestioned, and because
there is known to be money for road
purposes in the county treasury,
stimulates these townships to ask that
the money be used.
Last June a levy was made for
about $4,000 (about $1,000 to q
township for the improvement of
county roads. Another sum of $685.
900 was set aside for general road i'm
provements, such as cutting down
hills, repairing and the building Of
new roads. Aside from these two sums
there is $4,000 Of the inter-county-
highway fund. Of course this latter
fund can be used only for the specific
use for which it was created.
Now what troubles the commission
ers, is how to expend the $4,000 levy
they made last June. What they
would like to do is to give each town
ship what it asks. That would be
easy, were there enough money. Next
they want to divide the money as
equitable as possible, placing the same
in the hands of the various township
trustees and let the latter attend to the
improvements. But here they are
stalled, as the State Highway Com
missioner says that where the COM
missioners make allowances Of money
to townships for road improvements,
they, the commissioners, must also let
the contracts for the work. This ia
exactly what the commissioners are
seeking to- avoid, and of course they
are again thrown into the air.
It is possible the commissioners may
discover some means Of escape before
their meeting next Monday, when, we
learn there will be more and larger
! township delegations in their office
than there were last fonday

TITLE TO CHURCH
PROPERTY QUESTIONED

A new case filed in court is that of
Frank F. Chidsey against the First
Congregational Society of Weymouth,
ct al, in an action to quiet title. The
defendant society was Incorporated as
a religious body, Feb. 26, 1886, by spec
ial legislative act, by which it also
acquired power of acquiring, holding,
selling and conveying property for
uses and purposes of the society
On Jan. 4, 1911, M. 0. Perkins, Z.
C. Wagar and Daniel Huffman, then
trustees of the society, conveyed about
two acres of~church land to plaintiff.
It appears that some time in 1850,
one, Isaac B. Potter, held an interest in
this property to the extent Of about
86-100 of an acre, which, in 1885, he
conveyed to Lorin X. Loomis. Plain
tiff claims that the present trustees(
M. o. Perkins, Elmer Holtzberg and
,Thos. Andrews, as parties defendant,
claims an interest in the property at
issue, as legal heirs Of Isaac Potter,
and he asks the court to remove the
cloud to his title, with The averment
that defendants claims are untrue and
:unfounded.

SIS FOR BREAKING
HIS FRIENDS NOSE

Although Ed. Lamon declares that
he didn't know it was his friend, Blake
Kulp, whose nose he smashed with an
axe helve last Monday afternoon in
Lafayette, until after the deed had
been done, he was sentenced Tuesday
by Probate Judge VanDeusen, to pay a
fine of SIS and costs.
1t appears that Lamon, Chas. Lance
and Kulp had engaged in unfriendly
discussion at the store in Lafayette an
hour or so previous to the assault, La
mon later starting for home. On the
way he stopped to talk with a friend,
when presently Lance and Kulp ap-
peared. In. n.court, Lamon says ne be-
lieved Lance and Kulp meant to do him
physical harm and he made use OF his
club. In the melee, Kulp sustained a
well-directed blow on his nose, break
ing it. DR.. Robinson attended the in
Jury. The warrant to arrest was
sworn out before Justice VIM. Schlech-
ty Of Lafayette and was filed with
Sheriff Gehman.

MISTAKE MEDINA
men FOR BANDITS

To be suspected Of being two es-l
capped murders, when you are innocent,
and temporarily held up by an officer
when you have barely time to make
railroad connections, is mighty har-
rowing experience, but is exactly what
befell Corwin Mcdowell and r. i.
Mowrey week ago last Sunday.
Both had been visiting relatives In
Medina and had started for Detroit,
expecting to make connections at West
Park for Elyria. The car was late
in reaching West Park and the two
men hustled all over that district to
find some one to carry them to Elyria.
They were finally successful, and had
just seated themselves in the auto,
when a deputy sheriff Of Cuyahoga
county mounted the running board and
displayed his badge. The men were
frankly told that their description
tailed accurately with that of the ban
dts who murdered Cuyler Mowrey in
Cleveland two weeks ago.
They soon convinced the officer OF
their innocence and were allowed to
proceed to Elyria.
The fellow who took Mcdowell and
Mowrey to Elyria, had his sweetheart
along, and according to letter re-.
ceived by Medina friends from Now
rey, he was so attentive to the girl
that the car was nearly wrecked sew
eral times. The men made connect
ions at Elyria by one minute.

CONGRESSMAN tBATHRICK
URGES BRIDGE GUARDS

Congressman E. r Bathrick of
Akron has written Secretary Of War
Baker urging that provision be made
for the organization Of home guards
thruont the country to protect bridges,
public buildings, railroads and muni-
tion plants. I'll
Mr.. Bathrick would have the gov
ernment supply these guards with
arms, and suggests that veterans of
the Spanish-American war and mem
bers Of the G, la. r. be put in charge
as officers.
Whether Spanish American veter-
ans will be assigned to such tasks is
problematical since federal agents
have been making up list Of men
serving in that war to determine how
many Of them will be available to go
into the field in event it becomes a
necessity.

ENGINEER PETERS
RESIGNS OFFICE

! County Engineer VIM. F. Peters,
who is serving his second term, resign
ed, Monday, his resignation to take
effect April /. To those closely as
sociated with Mr.. Peters, his resigna-
bon comes as no surprise. Recently
he moved his family to Akron and It
was commonly known that he was
making arrangements for new work,
at least as soon as his present tenure
as county surveyor ended, in Septem-
Der. The County Commissioners ac-
cepted his resignation and at once
notified State Highway Commissioner
Clinton Cowen, requesting that Coup-
ty Surveyor-elect Walter Bibbins be
appointed to fill the unexpired term,
also be given the appointment Of resi-
dent engineer for state work.
Fl Mr.. Peters has been capable official
and his many Medina friends wish him
the best Of fortune.

COURT TECHNICALLY
DELAYS HIS MARRIAGE

j. Roy Bowman, from whom his wife,
Mrs. Jennie Bowman, was granted a
divorce on March 13. was married
again last Saturday, to Dorothy Leus-
Ter, Is, of Medina township, to whose
delinquency he confessed to having con
tributed, several weeks ago, to the pro-
bate court, and for which he was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $50 and costs
and serve six months sentence in the
Canton work house, the latter part of
the sentence having been suspended.
The marriage ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. S. F. Ross of the Methodist
church. Bowman is 36 years old.
1t is probable that Bowman would
have remarked Immediately following
the divorce decree allowed Mrs. Bow
man had it not been for a delay in the
court making Journal entry. Ac-
cording to court attaches, there has
scarcely been day since that Bowman
has not inquired whether or not the
entry had been made. Once he at
tempted to get a license at the pro-
bate Office, but Judge Van Deusen
could not see his way clear to issue
the coveted document until each letter
of the law had been adhered to.
AS an evidence of how closely the
groom had guarded his own interests,
no more than thirty minutes elapsed
between the time the court entry MAX
ing him a free man had been written,
and the issuing of a marriage certi-
ficate. A wild rush was made for the
Methodist parsonage and almost be-
fore one could utter "Jack Robinson"
Roy was Benedict again. In the
excitement, Rev. Ross neglected to
ask the contracting parties whether
married. He did so, after it was too
late, and in ignorance of the condi-
tions under which the groom became
eligible again for wedlock, else, it is.
stated, he would have refused to per-
form the ceremony.
