DICK CONFIRMS IT.
Will
Manage the Campaign
For
Judge Nash.
A special to the Enquirer from
Columbus says :
"The exclusive announcement in
The Enquirer this morning that
Colonel Charles XV. V. Dick is to bo
tho Republican Campaign Chairman
is confirmed tonight, by a telegram
received here from the Akron man
himself. Iir this message Colonel
Dick says it has been definitely de
cided that he is to manage the con
test.
"John R. Malloy, who doubtless
will be the Secretary of the Execu
tive' Committee, returned this after
noori .from Cleveland, where he has
been in conference with Senator
Hanna since yesterday, with regard
to the management of the campaign.
It is understood that unusual respon
sibility is to .fall on the secretary
this year, inasmuch as it is the plan
of Mr. Hanna to have Colonel Dick
devote considerable attention to the
preliminary work of the Presidential
contest, not only in Ohio, but through
out the country."
PROTESTS
Against the Proposed
Annexation to Akron.
Three Different Remonstrances Are
Being Circulated by Residents.
The proposed annexation of prop
erty surrounding Akron has stirred
up hundreds of residents living in
the outskirts.
A petition is being circulated on
North Hill, which has received 145
signatures, protesting against being
annexed. Their reason for this is
that the benefits to be derived are
not sufficient to warrant the annexa
tion, as they claim they will not re
ceive any advantages, but be com
pelled to pay higher taxes.
On West Hill and near the AVoos
ter ave. street car barn similar peti
tions are being circulated and freely
signed. It is said, nine-tenths op
pose annexation. The three petitions
will be presented to .the County Com
missioners. All the petitions ask the Commis
sioners to abide by the majority.
PECULIAR PETITION.
Citizens Want a Shrill
Choked Off.
Whistle
Citizens living in the community
adjacent to the India Rubber Go's
plant will, in a few days, it is said,
present a petition to the City Com
missioners asking that the present
whistle of the plant be- either sub
dued or a new whistle put in use.
The whistle is especially strong and
shrill. Tin strong points in the ob
jection are that nervous or sick per
sons can scarcely endure it.
PENSION INCREASED The
pension of Johann Bro'esamle of Ak
ron has been increased from $8 po $12
per month;
JEFFRIES
Picked as the Winner
By the Old Time Cham
pion John L Sullivan. I
The Hero of the Prize
Ring Is Here.
Gives His Opinion of the Com
ing Battle.
Program of Races at Fountain
Park Today.
The famous John L. Sullivan is
here.
He, in company with the members
of his comedy and vaudeville com
pany, arrived in the city from Tiffin
about 6 o'clock this morning. The
company is at the Empire house.
As soon as he arrived John L. went
right to bed and remained there the
greater part, of the day. He has not
had much' sleep for the past few
days, but is taking a good rest today.
"When seen at his room today by a
Dkmockat reporter the great ex-
champion was in a good humor and
conversed pleasantly. John is the
pink of politeness when it comes to
treating reporters with courtesy.
Sullivan's weight is now 295
pounds. He is five feet pleven inches
tall, and presents a good appearance.
His hair is slightly streaked with
gray, but there is -nothing about him
to indicate premature old age, and
when one realize's the battles he has
gone through, ajittlo idea of his iron
constitution may be given. Sullivan
is now in his 40th year.
"When asked his. opinion regarding
the out come of the championship
battle between Fitzsimmons and
Jeffries Friday evening, Sullivan
remarked emphatically that Jeffries
will win. He added: ""Jeffries is a
mighty strong and clever boxer. The
Cornishman will meet his Waterloo
when he comes up against the big
California boilermaker. I learn that
the authorities are not going to per
mit any knockout slugging to be
done; that it must be a scientific
boxing exhibition only. That will
make it lose some of its red-hot in
terest." "But say,' continued John, "You
must keep your eye on what Jeffries
does with his left duke. .He can
strike like a trip-hammer."
John also regretted that pugilism
is losing some of its vim and vigor.
"It is not like the days when T used
to go into the ring," he said. And
when one recalls the fight between
Sullivan and Kilrain, when they
fought 75 "rounds with bare knuckles,
there's lots of truth in what the ex
champion says. -
Jake Kilrain is with Sullivan. He
weighs 254 pounds and looks well.
He and Sullivan spar at the conclus
ion of the -vaudeville performance
tonight.
"I'm as strong as ever I was," said
John, "and if I could only reduce my
weight I'd made the fur fly off the
best of them yet." Not long ago he
weighed over 300 pounds.
Sullivan closes his theatrical sea
son at Youngstown Saturday night.
He likes the show business first rate.
The Sullivan comedy and vaude
ville company is a good one. There
are 21 members of the company here
today. Among the number are some
good artists. The performance to
night at the Grand Opera house will
be introduced with the one-act com
edy, "A Trip Across the Ocean."
Following will be a number of vau-
doville performances. In the com
edy Sullivan is first, introduced. He
. has a part to perform, and it is said
he is quite clever. The show will be
concludedwith a sparring match be
tween Sullivan and Kilrain.

HEAVY FINES.
Grocers Were Charged With Selling
Adulterated Goods.
Injustice P. H. Hoffman's court
Thursday morning James T. Diehm,
a grocer of 402 East Exchange st.,
and Lyman Broughton of Peninsula,
were each fined $50 and costs for vio
lating the pure food laws of the stato
Diehm for selling oleomargerine
without having a sign hung up with
the announcement "Oleomargerine
Sold Here," and Broughton for sell
ing adulterated whisky. The cases
were conducted against the defend
ants by Assistant Pure Food Com
missioners Martin Cowen and Wil
liam Martin. In the case against
Diehm the violation was due to the
carelessness of an employe.
BY JUNE 25

will occupy the government building
by June 25.

stated that the building would be
completed in a week, except placing
the furniture in shape. Only part of
the furniture has arrived. How
ever, it is expected the remainder of
the furniture will be here in a week.
The Akron people in general are
well pleased with the structure.

ANTI-THOMAS
Candidate Summoned
To Appear as One of
the Witnesses.
Mr. 0. S. Ely Will Give
the Details
Of the Meeting During Last
Year's Campaign.
Teachers and Janitors Who Testified
Wednesday Night.
O. S. Ely was to have been an im
portant witness before the Investi
gating committee Wednesday even
ing but he did not appear.
It will be remembered that he was
an anti-Thojnas candidate for the
Board of Education in 1898. His
friends claimed that Prof. Thomas
had circulated the story that Ely
had made an attack on him in which
he used vile and profane language.
Both Mr. Ely and his friends denied
that the story was true and aftldav-
its were printed at the time to prove
their statements. It was to throw
light on this transaction that Mr.
Ely was called. He will probably
be at the meeting tonight.
W.E. Slabaugh was the only mem
ber not present last night. Prof.
Thomas was absent.
The witnesses examined were
Frank Bisson, High school janitor;
Miss Flora Freker, teacher in tho
Howe school; Mrs. Malana Harris,
teacher in the Crosby school; Clias.
W. Irvin, janitor of Kent- school.
As the Investigation committee
digs deeper into the affairs of the
schools more facts are revealed.
Street gossip is constant in refer
ence to the investigation and many
harsh things are heard about, the
way the schools have been conduct
ed in the past few years.
It is argued that if something is
not done there will never be harmony.
