YES. WE STILL HAVE EN-

But for the hope of relief from the
city council, electric street cars would
no doubt by this time have been a
thing of the past in Newark, as the
Columbus, Newark and GAINESVILLE Co.
was most assured not bluffng when
it set October 81 as the date for a
final decision regarding their dis
continuance.
For some reason ray of hope that
relief of a tangible nature might be
afforded appeared, and the ak was
held suspended until the council had
been given another opportunity to DO
something.
The "Hired Man" gets round among
them pretty considerably and hears
right smart of all sorts of talk, both
of a commendatory and cussing char
acter, on this important question. But
the former leads by vast majority.
With the probable exception of the
few who have money invested in other
transportation methods, there appears
to be no one in Newark who would
not regret the loss of our street cars,
and hope and expect that the city
council will take some decisive steps
on Monday night, which will insure
their continuance.
1t is true a suggestion has been
made by some few people that if they
are deprived of the five cent bus the
car fare should be reduced to five
cents. This is hardly fair PROPOSE
ton, as cars have been run at a very
considerable loss for long time, and
to begin to cut down their revenue
would be a poor way to encourage
their operation. 1t should be remem-
bered the railway company has hun
dreds of thousands of dollars invested
in Newark, upon which taxes are paid;
wages and general overhead runs up
a big total which must be met, to say
nothing of upkeep and new rolling
stock.
If the Electric Co. accepts the fran
chise given by the city, the matter
of fares will be in the hands OF the
city council and will be governed and
regulated by the cash receipts. No
fear but that the peoples interests
will be taken care of.

KHAN AGAINST COMPENSATION

In lengthy article the Klan news
paper of Columbus, to the surprise of
many of it's readers, came out flat
footed last week against the adoption
II the Workmens Compensation
Amendment.
Just why it should take this stand
is not known, as the author of the
original bill is an official of the
United Mine Workers of America and
the amendment has the endorsement
of the Ohio State Federation of La
bor, and every Central and Local La
Dor Body in the state.
Now it is more than probable that
a large proportion, if not majority
of the Klan membership is composed
of working men for whose benefit and
safety this law was written. Its
many advantages have been explained
time and again. All arguments
against it originally eminate from the

Queen Ship Lost While Max

Market.
ANOTHER is MISSING

HIGHLANDS, Mar. 80 (By The
Associated Press) THE queen of
the Highlands rum r~nring fleet was
lost during the heavy northwest gale
Wednesday and another member of
the feet today was reported missing.
The Queen Ship, the largest and
fastest putting out from Highlands
to the rum armada off shore, was
lost while making her second trip to
the maritime liquor mart.
When she started for shore with
100 cases of liquor having an esti-
mated retail value of $500, she en-
countered a 4S-mile gale which
forced her to return to the lister,
a British steamer which once served
as a yacht for Robert Goelet, from
which she had purchased her cargo.
The runner managed to come
alongside the Ister and her water
soaked crew was taken off. The
boat, valued at $4,000. foundered
with her cargo.
The lister took care of the crew
until the gale abated. Then they
were landed by rum runner from
New York.

MAN WANTED
STILL At LARGE
Sought in Connection With
Razor SIashing in Smith
Street Barber Shop

Sam Garaffa, the younger brother
of Angelo Garaffa, Smith street bar
Der who was arrested on Wednesday
morning in connection with the stab
bing of George Saloon, a local
Serbian, is still at large.
The younger brother made good
his escape from the rear of the bar
Der shop Immediately following the
stabbing. Angelo was arrested in
the store where he went when he
saw Officer Charles Jorgenson ap-
preaching. The older Garaffa, it is
said, followed Saloon from the shop
and was beating the Serbian with a
stick after the stabbing.
A third barber in the shop and a
customer in the store at the time of
the stabbing were apprehended and
held for a time as material Witness
es. They were later released to ap-
pear when wanted. Angelo Garaffa
is out on $4,000 bail for a hearing
when Saloon is ready to leave the
hospital. Alth gh fourteen stitches
were taken in the wound which ex-
tends practically from ear to ear,
attending physicians say he will be
out in a few days.
Saloon, it is alleged, contends that
Angelo did the s.Gbbing while re-
ports in other quarters are that the
younger brother welded the razor.
David T. Wilentz represented
Angelo at the arraignment yesterday
morning and he intimated that the
younger brother would be given up
to the police. 1t is said that the
cause for the cutting was the fact
that the Serbian had relations with
the wife of the younger Garaffa
brother.

TEN YEARS IMPOSED

MOSCOW, Mar. 30 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) The death sentence
recently imposed On Archbishop
Zepliak. head of the Roman Catho-
lie church in Russia, was commuted
today to ten years imprisonment
under strict isolation. The appeal
OF Vicar General Butchkavitch for
clemency was denied.
The Central executive committee,
which met to consider requests Tor
mitigation of the sentences, said in
it's decision tha- both prelates were
deserving of the penaiy imposed by
the Moscow court. but that COM
mutation was ordered in the case of
the archbishop because a certain
element of the Catholic citizens in
Russia might exploit the sentence as
being directed against the priests
and their religion.
The committee, however. said it
regarded that the evidence in the
case of Monsignor Butchkavitch
showed his direct reasonable con-
nection with an enemy of the state.
The decision was signed by Presi-
dent Kalinin and Secretary Sap
ronoff.

This property. which was pur-
chased by a former Board of Free
holders for s4S,000, is proving a
white elephant on the county's
hands, as it seems to have no market
and is not a source of income, but
has laid an idle waste for eight or
ten years, and can not be used for
the purpose for which it was intend
ed on account of the disapproval of
location by the State Board of
Health.
The freeholders who purchased
the tract, also in their wisdom, obli-
gated the taxpayers of the county
for $4,000 set of plans for a coun-
ty tuberculosis hospital. These plans
have since been paid for, but will
probably never serve any other pur-
pose than to occupy a space in the

ing, as it is generally agreed that
they provide for a much larger and
more expensive building than the
county could at this time afford to
erect.

PARIS, March so (By The Asso-

nent considers that the first thing
Germany must do is to reform its
financial policy and begin paying its
obligations. and that there is moth
ing to be gained by endeavOring now
to tx Germany's caracity for high
payment, it was said by a high Off
cial of the foreign office today ap
propos of the German ambassador
recent call at the state department
IL Washington. (This apparently
refers to the statement submitted 10
Secretary Hughes on March 16 by
the German embassy setting forth
Germany's attitude towards the re-
paration problem, which is under
stood to have Indicated approval of
the American. play for an interna
tional commission to determine the
facts as to Germany's financial po-
sition).
Premier Poincare holds that it is
impossible to fix at present Germany's
eventual capacity for payment. That
the essential element for the settle
ment of the reparatiOns issues is
Tor the Germans to become con-
vinced that they must pay, and that
il will develop from their future
efforts how much they can nav.
