This shady deal was handled by
your close friend, Mr.. Galbreath, of
John w. Galbreath and Company,
Columbus real estate dealers. You
will recall Mr.. Galbreath, I am sure.
Was it not at his country estate
where your secretary, Don Power,
was trying 10 ride horseback, when
he fell off and broke his leg1
This real estate, all income-pro-
ducing property, was to be sold to
Douglas Realty, Inc, of which Mr..
c. H. Benbow of Columbus is the
Temporary president. Douglas Real
ty, Inc. was incorporated on August
8, less than two weeks before this
shady deal was submitted to the
Akron Court for approval. It was
admitted that il had dummy incor-
porators, and that Mr.. Benbow was
merely acting for his Client There
is some reason to believe that Mr..
Galbreath, your close friend, was the
client and the real purchaser.
Here is q very interesting thing
about Douglas Realty, Inc. 1t had
capital of only $500.00. Therefore,
it was irresponsible from a practical
standpoint. What a sweet deal they
set Hp for themselves, with the ap-
proval of your Superintendent OF
Banks. Did you know anything
about it, Governor? .
They proposed to bay two hun
dred twenty-four pieces of Akron
real estate for 100000. They
were going to pay 100000 cash
but, Oh righteous Governor, they
were going to get back $50,0O0.00 o.
this cash right away as brokers
fee. So they would have only $780,
10000 cash in the deal, and the old
bank would have only $s0,OOO.OC
cash.
Then they were to give note foa
5000, ,OO0.O0 for fifteen years at foui
per cent. They would have to pa,

Bill Mcdonnell over at the shoe

Cat least that's the name my Dad
had for cigarettes 25 years agO)
but Bills different from the
usual Bull Durham roller who
runs around with tag hanging
out of the shirt pocket, like
"Scottie" of the Advocate. Bill
takes the tobacco out of regula-
ton cigarette, dumps it into a
paper and proceeds to re-rOll it.
Says their is a certain indefin-
able taste in a cigarette made
that way that you can't get out
of a tailOr-made.
Speaking of smoking = re-
minds me of the time lin the
coffin nail era) when Dad
thought his tobacco bill at my
Granddad's store was getting
little high. One day he came
around the corner back of the
livery barn where about a dozen
of US kids were rolling tobacco
I'd charged to Dads account, in
"give-a-way papers," Isn't much
to tell except that Dad grabbed
me by the back of the neck and
when he got through, admonish
ed me-"If you want to smoke,
stay in the house and smoke my
pipe-I'm not going to have you
smoking those d. coffin nails"
Wanting to be sure that | could
break out of my box on judg-
ment day | started smoking CT
gars and still do.
Ed. Schrack decided it was a
little close in a meeting room at
the YMCA the other night. He
is a pretty well fed individual,
but no one expected him to put
on the strong man act or the en-
tertainment for the crowd. Imag-
inc his surprise when, in at
tempting to lift the window, the
top of the sash gave way and the
glass remained in position. Is
Ed so stronger was the win
dow approaching an end like that
of the Zone Horse Shay?"
Walter M. Deweese, building
superintendent of city schools got
his dander up recently because
of remarks regarding the alb
sence of outdoor flags at the
junior high school buildings. He
remedied the matter by install
ing a beautiful 40 foot, alumni
um painted steel flag pole on
the grounds at each school, and
is justly proud of the accom-
plishment.
Wayne, 15-year- -Old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Orville Shafer of Han
cock county, Ohio, who visited
last weekend with the Wylie
Stickles was duly impressed with
the beautiful hills and scenery in
Licking county. 1t was the first
time the lad ever saw hills and
rock formations. Not often do
people have the opportunity of
enjoying the variety of scenery
such as Ohio possesses.

The extensive building pro-
gram carried on the past year
now gives the children plenty of
room and has eliminated the
crowding which has been so evil
dent the past few years. The
efficiency of the school system
has been materially increased.
st. Francis de Sales
Father John j. Slattery of st.
Francis de Sales, reported a total
enrolment in the parochial
school of $50 pupils, the largest
in the history of the school.
Forty-six entered the first grade
as beginners. 187 are registered
in the high school.
Father ]. w. Byrne of Bless
ed Sacrament Catholic church in
East Newark reports that 145
pupils registered opening day at
the parochial grade school. Four
Sisters are employed as teachers.
Father Byrne said that more
children are expected to enroll
within the next few days to swell
the total attendance.

Again Martin l.. Davey
Writes Governor Bricker

only two per cent year on the prin-
cipal, and only four per cent interest.
These friends of yours would have
enjoyed an improper and handsome
profit during the entire fifteen years,
because they were buying some of
the choicest of the income-producing
property belonging to the old bank.
But, Oh righteous Governor, this
real estate had an appraised value
of $1,267, $4,000, and these same
properties were carried on the books
of the old bank at 1881, ,967.55. In
other words, they were going to buy
property worth more than one and
quarter million, and probably one
and one-half million, for $50,000.00
cash, and fifteen year note for only
5000, 100000.
The income from these properties
is $128,000.00 per year. Taxes
amount to 100000, and interest
$50, 100000 per year. A sweet profit
of $65,000.00 per year for your
friendsl
Not only were they about to rob
the depositors of the old bank of
something in the neighborhood of
half million dollars, but they were
going to tie up this property for
fifteen long years. The poor deposi-
tors could wait, and wait, and wait
while your close friends were revel-
hing in the luxurious return from the
property they had wrongfully OBJ
tanned.
Your Superintendent of Banks
made application to the Akron Court
for approval Of this shady deal on
August IA. The following Monday
Fl called the Liquidator of the old
Akron bank, and asked him some
questions, and told him we were
going to blow this rotten deal out
OF water. Evidently, he got cold
feet, because the very next day he
rushed down to Columbus to tell the
sad news to you and your friends.
In the meantime, we engaged a
lawyer to defend the depositors, and
he was all prepared to blast this
crookedness to the high heavens.
However, when you and your
friends found they were about to be
exposed, they had your Superin-
tendent of Banks hastily withdraw
the application to the Court under
flimsy excuse. Our action in this
matter saved the depositors of the
old First Central Trust Company
from this attempted unscrupulous
raid on their assets.
What have you to say, Oh right
eous Governor, about the treacher-
Gus perfidy of your State banking
officials and your close personal
friends? If you had no guilty know
ledge of this attempted crookedness,
you should make public condemna-
tion Of those involved. But will you?
