The Weser Zeitung of Bremen,
under the caption, "Only Patience, "
places the net monthly losses through
the submarine losses, after deducting
construction, at 100000 to 10000,
gross tons. From this the newspa-
per comes to the conclusion theoreti-
cally that in forty-five months time
the last mercantman will be sunk. It
ADDS for its readers comfort, howev-

earlier, being already obliged to with
draw tonnage from the navy for mer-
camille purposes.

were held at which neither Mayor
Hess or President Stichter were pres.
ent. They were quietly investigating
the case. Mayor Hess and Stichter
knew that the people didn't want such
an extension or contract approved for
ten more years, as they had been con-
sidering erecting a municipal light and
power plant.
The extension ordinance was de-
feated last September when Ashe and
officials of his company tried to get a
ratification. 1t is said that several
members Of the council were rendered
brides at that meeting. but this is not
verified.
A Richmond man, close to Ashe, was
to have acted as paymaster, for money
to be given the men when they came
to Richmond after the ordinance had
been passed, according to the story.
Company Was Disiiked.
Stichter and Mayor Hess however
fought the ordinance so bitterly and
the people were so aroused that 1t was
finally defeated. There has been an
i'll feeling toward the light and power
company for the last three years, due
It is said, to the fact that the COM
pany has attempted to defeat every
bill presented during that time for
the improvement of the city.
Last spring the company bitterly

and will be the star witness against
the men.
City Clerk Fred Kemp, who worked
for five years as q stenographer for
the Swayne-Robinson company, OF
Richmond, is also under arrest charged
with accepting $40.
He claims, however, that the money
was given him between several docu'
ments and he had no knowledge as to
what It was. He has brother, Sam
uel Kemp, q tailor, living in Richmond.
"Wouid Be Money In It,"
Three weeks ago, SO the story goes,
Stichter was approached by three fel.
low members of the council who in
formed him that there would be
money for him after the ordinance was
passed"
There wasn't member Of the coun-
Gil who needed money worse than he
did at that time, but he thought of his
five motherless children, dependent
upon him for support, and decided to
see Mayor Hess to protect himself"
Together with mayor Hess the two
went to Columbus where they inter
viewed the attorney general, who In
structed Stitcher to vote for the ordi-
nance and accept the bride, SO that he
might be the star witness against Ashe
and Glenn.

cording to Mayor Hess.
Locked In jail.
He was shown and the party start
ed at once for Troy, Ohio where they
were locked in the county jail, while
the officials took breakfast. Several
hours later they were arraigned be-
fore the mayors court where they en-
tered pleas of not guilty. Their bonds
were fixed at $4,000 each.
Wednesday afternoon, Frank Tay-
Tor. vicepresident Of the First Nation
al Bank of Richmond, came to Troy
and after a conference with Walter E..
Bowyer, president OF the Troy Nation
al Bank, made q deposit of bonds,
equivalent to about $4,000 in money.
it is said.
The bonds were owned by Ashe and
had been in the vaults of the bank of
Richmond, Taylor said. He also
claimed that Ashe had cash credit Of
$4,000 on deposit.
Villagers Sorry
The entire village is talking about
the arrests, and while they are glad
that any official Of the light plant had
been arrested. they expressed sorrow
for the city councilmen, who were a
party to the scheme to ''cheat citi-
zens" as they say it.
Mayor Hess expressed belief that
the citizens would go before the court
and recommend that leiency be grant
ed. They will ask that they be expell-
ed as members of the city council how
ever.

the enlargement Of the city water
works and extension of city mains, as
they feared. it is said, that the city
would erect municipal light and pow
er plant alongside the water works.
This Is said to have been the reason
for attempting to rush the ordinance
extending for ten years the old fraEr
chise OF the company, which does not
expire until the latter part Of 1918.
The new contract, reducing the rate
from twelve to ten cents, and reduc-
ing the charges for lighting street
lamps 500 year. was made as a
"concession," according to the belief
OF officials, to hide the real benefit
sought by the company-the ten year
extension of contract
Asked Kemp About 1t.
Monday, the night the council pass
ed the ordinances, Ashe and Mayor
Glenn went to City Clerk Kemp, who
is also assistant ticket agent OF the
Pennsylvania station there, and asked
II council was to meet on that night.
Kemp already had notified the coun-
Gil members. by telephone. which is
Illegal, that meeting would be held
to allow several bills. According to
Clerk Kemp, Mayor. Glenn placed
copies OF the ordinances on his desk
and walked away. Kemp became busy
with passengers at the station, he
says, and the men had gone when he
noticed that $40 bill was between
the papers.
According to his story he pocketed
the money, thinking that some mis-
take had been made and intending to
speak to Glenn and Ashe about it
later.
Mayor Signed Bills.
That night all of the members of
the council we're present. and the ex-
tension ordinance and the new contract
unanimously were ratified, under sus-
pension Of the rules, on the first read
ing. Mayor Hess was not in the
council room when the bills were pass
ed. but signed the measures on his re-
turn.
The entire meeting will be held H.
legal on the grounds that Mayor Hess
was not present when the council for
mally ratified it, and that the matter
had not been legally advertised, and
the members not formally notified. in
writing, that special meeting Of the
council had been called.
The agreement had been made that
the men were to receive their money

Stichter Immediately turned the
money over to p. T. Corbin, foreman
of the paint shop, and A. ]. Hoffert,
shop foreman, explaining what it was
given him for. He had not looked at
the money.
Tuesday night the men were round

Barnett had threatened to lock them
in the county jail at Troy, each con-
fessed and produced the 500 they
alleged were given them. Telephone
wires to the mems houses had been
cut before the roundup started.

Burr Young, who had acted as pay
master was induced to turn traitor to
Mayor Glenn and Ashe. by calling them
at Richmond by long distance, claim
ing that they were needed in Bradford
to settle an argument which had arisen
regarding the division of the money.
Young met Ashe and Glenn at his
home, while the other officials con-

AN APPEAL

Now the call comes to us to
do our part-not on the front,
not even a sacrifice, but to go
down deep in our pockets and
help save the lives of the boys
who will fight our BATTLES;
furnish hospitals, ambulances,
medical supplies, nurses and
doctors to take care of our
wounded in other words,
show our appreciation of their
sacrifice.
A single dollar may save a
life and that life is of untold
value to some mother or loved
one at home. A hundred dol
lars will provide care for sew
eral of America s sons. With
out these dollars, there will be
more suffering, more anguish,
more broken hearts. Our re-
fusal to help, when we can,
makes lis worse than slack,
ers' 1T may mean death to
some boy thru our negligence,
and his blood will be upon our
hands.
Americas Red Cross APP
peals for this assistance. Next
week will be devoted to one
great campaign for this pur-
pose and we bespeak the CO.
operation of our readers in the
movement. It's not charity;
it's an obligation that we can
not escape.

Des Moines and Seattle, and we were
all invited off to n beautiful picnic
grove, where long tables were spread,
camp fire built and comfortable
chairs provided, we thought of the
wished they could have been with us.
The Enterprise Club in large num-
bers gathered to greet us most cordial
| ly. and every care ON earth vanished
in the sunshine of friendliness that
pervaded the town. Even the worry
about our shortage of cake melted
faster than did the great tub of delic-
ious ice cream that was in due time
opened, for the most beautiful cakes
that ever were made seemed to be
coming from every direction, as did all
sorts of good things to eat, until tho
long tables were loaded.
And the minister and some other
nice men came, and when the minister
made an address of welcome, we were
so embarrassed that we hardly knew
whether to respond with thanks or to
say amen, because we hadn't expected
anything of the kind; but Mrs. Selby.
our hostess for the day, isquick witted
and came to our rescue most graceful
ly, and everybody was 50 kind that we
enjoyed everything that happened,
and ate more good things than we ever
remember of having put before us at a
picnic. The Des Moines women GER
tainly know thoroughly the arts OF
cookery and entertaining.
The spacious commercial hall was
thrown open for our use if we needed
it, and for our inspection anyway, as
was the whole town. A fine school
building that is justly the pride of the
citizens, was visited and admired. and
the general impression that we gained
was that the Des Moines people pull
together to yet what they want, and
therefore usually get it. And they
certainly deserve all they get, for they
are whole-souled, generous and wide
awake.
When the Get Togethers returned
homeward bound, the Enterprise Club
accompanied them on the trip over the
water, and, "a more enjoyable ride could
not have been arranged nor more de-
lightful neigh bors found than these of
our sister town.
So now we have inspected the town,
become acquainted with her people,
asked all sorts of questions, and we
know whats the matter with Des
Moines? She's all right" She has a
real live Enterprise Club that does
things and does them well, and we are
ready to wager our dock that Des
Moines will keep the ferry right where
it is despite all the fuss that is made
about it.
And now we are wondering what we
can do for the Enterprise Club when
it returns our call.
One of the Get Togethers.
