OMINOUS RUMOR GIVES
JOLT TO STOCKHOLDERS

Medina stockholders in the Spencer
Metal Products Co.. were given a Jolt
this week when report became cur
rent that the company's latest plan to
satisfy the numerous creditors had
fallen through and that the plant will
be closed.
; That the company had been in a
more or less precarious financial po-
sltion for some time past has been
general knowledge, but it was not un-
til Feb. Is, at meeting of the COM
pany.s creditors, held in Cleveland,
that the real condition became known.
Here it developed that the company
had liabilities approximating 100000.
At this meeting Mr.. Bouthinon,
president of the Spencer Metal Pro-
ducts Co., stated that the company had
received orders approximating $4,000
in the 80 days previous and plan was
evolved whereby the company would
be allowed to continue in operation,
under supervision of creditors COM
mittee. 1t was hoped that the notes
issued to cover present indebtedness
could be taken up before the end of
the year. Evidently this plan was
not acceptable to all the company's
creditors, for on Tuesday, March Is,
another meeting was held at which
time the creditors committee was en-
powered to- throw the company into
bankruptcy or ask for a receiver, if
they saw fit. That they saw no othe,
way out of bad situation lends Gre
dence to the report current this week
that the plant will be closed.
Mr.. Bouthinon, when asked Wed
nesday concerning the correctness OF
the report that the company's plan.
would be closed, said, 81 have no
statement to make, one way or anoth
err"
The Spencer Metal Products Co.
was shut down for a period in Janu-
airy, opened later with force of as
men, which number has been augment
ed from time to time until they arc
now employing rs men.

UNIFORM TAX RULE
PROGRAM WAS BEATEN
Only One Of Several Measures Saved
from Wreck

Practically the entire taxation pro-
gram before the legislature, sponsored
by the proponents of strict enforce
rfent Of the uniform rule, which en-
braced all the farm organizations Of
the state, met with defeat in Colum-
bus on Thursday of last week.
Only one measure was salvaged
from the wreck and that was the one
by Representative Robins of Ross
county, which provides for bringing
taxpayers before the common pleas
court to verify their tax returns, and
which was supported almost un-
animously. !.
No effort is expected to be made by
the uniform rule adherents to revive
their program until supporters Of the
plan proposed by Gov. Davis citizens
taxation committee has been given 8
chance.
It is known that many members
who supported the uniform rule plar
also will support the governors pro.
gram, but whether in sufficient
strength to adopt the constitutions
amendments contemplated by the pro
gram lis not known:
Amendments require three-ffthl
vote. The governors committee
program which contemplates abroga
ton Of the uniform rule and enact
ment of an income tax, debt and rat'
limitations laws, is expected to b.
ready for consideration this week.
Two uniform rule measures which
it may be possible to bring up at som,
future date are the one by Miller o
Coshocton, fixing the status on intangi
BILE property, and that by Cope Of Col
umbia, giving taxing authorities tn,
right to examine bank deposits.

this reason the history of Laverne Fa-

INDIANAPOLIS TEAM OF 1877
Pitcher Nolan Worked Every Day In
Week, az Did His Battery Mate,
silver Flint.

Speaking of baseball teams which
were great-the old Baltimores, the
Brooklyn Superbas, the Cubs. the
Giants, the White Sox, the Athletics
and others-one of our friends whose
sport experiences go back two gen
erations, says one Of the greatest
teams in It's day was the indianapolis
team Of 1877, winners Of the pennant
In the international association.
On that team was the great battery
of that day-Silver Flint, catcher, and
1.-THE Only" Nolan, pitcher, says the
Indianapolis News. The other players
were Frank Houtz, first baseman; Joe
Quest, second base; Fred Warner,
third base; D. j. Mack, shortstop; J. b.
McSorley, left field; William Kelley,
center, and Ad Recap, right field.
This team was built by its mana
ger, D. II. Petit, who gathered the
players from several teams In the
Middle West. One Of the greatest
thinkers on the team was McSorley
known as Trick" because Of his
penchant for outguessing the oppOsi-
ton.
The work Of the great battery,
Nolan and Flint, was the outstanding
feature of the play of the Indianapolis
team.
Nolan pitched every day In the
week--114 games In the season. Flint
caught In all Of these games, To the
pitcher Of the modern day, who can
pitch about one game In four, this
does seem as ovsTwork.
