Affidavits Signed
By Three City Com
missioners To Help the Local Tele
phone Monopoly
Win the Injunction Suit
Brought by the City.
Chairman Alexander Satirizes
the Board. .
Commissioner McGarry Says Affi
davits Cut no Figure.
The unusual spectacle of three city
offlcials trying to prevent the city
from -winning a law suit begun to
protect the rights of the citizens is
presented in the suit brought by the
city to enjoin the Central Union
Telephone company from laying
conduits in the street without per
mission. This suit wa brought by the city
several weeks ago, just after the
City Commissioners had rescinded
their actiou naming the conditions
on which permission to conduit
wires would be granted. Its purpose
was to test the legality of the 25-year
telephone franchise railroaded
through the council by the local .tele
phone monopoly last November.
City Commissioners Crisp, Mc
Millen and Paige have signed affida
vits which are intended to be Used
by the telephone monopoly in win
ning its suit with the city. The affi
davits state that the Commissioners,
on or about the third day of May,
took such action as in effect
amounted to an approval of the con
duit plat presented by the telephone
monopoly. This claim proven in
court would leave the city powerless
to prevent the telephone company
from conduiting its wires. And since
the decision of the Bichmond courts
few weeks ago denying telephone
companies the right of way privileges
through public streets and private
property, permission to conduit has
become avery valuable consideration
to the local monopoly, inasmuch as
such permission would entrench it in
a position far more secure than that
acquired under the franchise of
doubtful legality at best.
Members of the Citizens' Commit
tee of Fifty are denouncing the ac
tion of the. Commissioners quite
freely. They claim that, while the
city's officials should be strainitig
every point to win the law suit for
the city, it is a shame that three
men, well paid to protect the city's
interests, should, permit themselves
tobe used by a corporation that has
repeatedly tried to defraud Akron's
citizens of their legal rights.
One of Akron's Councilmen re
marked today that the a ction of the

Commissioners, in thus offering "aid
and encouragement'' to a corpo
ration with which the city is having
Important litigation, ought to be
grounds for impeachment.
Commissioner McGarry says that
the action of his colleagues amounts
to nothing except to show their ap
parent favoritism to the telephone
monopoly.
"The records of the Board of City
Commissioners show that the Cen
tral Union Telephone company's con
duit plat has never been approved,"
said Commissioner McGarry. "And
what is more, not one of the present
members of the Board can ever con
sistently approve that plat while the
25-year franchise, stolen from the
city last Nomember, remains upon
the ordinance books. Each of the
Commissioners has publicly gone on
record as declaring that franchise to
be null and void and until that fran
chise is repealed, and another,
meetiug the approval of the
citizens, granted, it will require
something more than affidavits
to confer upon the com
pany the rights intended to be conjj
vcyed by the franchise. The, Board
of .Commissioners goes according to
its records; not according to the
private affidavits of its members."
Mr. Alexander's Statement.
A Dkmocrat reporter informed
Senator J. Park Alexander of the ac
tion of the three Commissioners.
It was a surprise to the chairman
of the Citizens' Committee. He
looked intensely disgusted and then
said:
"Did you ever see such wabbling?"
A moment later he continued: "I
scarcely know how to characterize
such actions. Is it due to imbecility
or incompetency? Perhaps the lat
ter would be the kindlier expression
to use."
"When this matter of conduiting
was referred to the Citizens' Com
mittee of Fifty we were led to believe
by the Commissioners that the plat
of the Central Union Telephone com
pany "had not been approved. No
meeting of tho committee has been
called, as we supposed the courts
were to decide the issues.
"You would suppose that men who
wore paid $1,800 per year would do
their duty by the citizens. Just at
this time I do not care to. hay much
on the matter. The news that tho
Board.had approved the plat comes
as a complete surprise to me,"
MISSIONARY
Tells of Life In the Island
of Japan.
The Interesting Address of Miss Mary
Comfort Hollowell.
Trinity, North Hill, First German
Reformed and Grace Beformed Mis
sionary societies were" at a union
meeting held Sunday evening at the
Grace Reformed church addressed
by Miss Mary Comfort Hollowell, a
returned missionary from Japan.
Opening services of the meeting were
conducted by Mrs. Hallie Andrews.
Miss Hollowell has spent seven
years in Japan, during which time
she taught in the girls' school at
Sendia, in the province of Miyagi.
Sendia is 253 miles north ef Tokio,
the capital of Japan, and has a popu
lation of 80,000. During her stay in
the city, Miss Hollowell will be the
guest of Rev. and Mrs. Jacob Dahl
mann, 205 East Center st. Her home
is at Lancaster, Pa., to which place
she returned from Japan in October.
In hor address Miss Hollowell
spoke of the journeys to and from
Japan, of the conditions and climate
of the country, the people, their cus
toms, superstitions, and religious be
liefs. At the mission school 52
Japanese girls are now in attendance
and quite a number of others have
graduated from the institution and
are now engaged in teaching in other
schools. Much progress is being
made in the missionary work in that
country, and the speaker said that
the missionaries were much encour
aged with the result of their teach
ing. The greater part of the Japanese
population are Buddhists, or wor
shippers of the Grand Lama. They
believe in a deity who holds com
munion with mankind through
many inferior divinities, some good
and some bad. Of these they have
images and idols, which they wor
ship in temples called pagodas.
Among other Japanese articles dis
played the speaker exhibited several
specimens of the Japanese gods.
"Woman's position is very low in
this land of the setting sun," said
Miss "Hollowell. "As a result of the
treatment and persuasion of the men
the women believe themselves so
intensely wicked that horns are li-
Lable to grow on their heads, so when
tneypray to their gods they wear
caps to hide these imaginary horns.
One woman, who was converted by
the missionaries, had for 35 years
worn a cap uuring prayers."
When educated, the Japanese girls
give evidence of considerable devel
opment in character, and have" quite"
an aptitude for doing mission work.
; The- address was interesting and
beneficial. to all present, and many
remained after the audience was dis
missed, to meet Miss Hollowell and
"congratulate her upon the good work
she nas done in the cause of missions.

Play
An interesting game of ball was
played on the Buchtel college
grounds Saturday afternoon by the
Akrons and Sharons.
The visitors won the game, by their
superior hitting. Wright, who
pitched for the Akrons was effecttve
for two innings. Sharon then fell
upon his outs and ins and drove the
ball all oyer the lot. Singles and
doubles came with a rapidity that
tired out the Akron fielders.
The "work of Barnes, who was in
the box for Sharon, was good after
the first. He was touched up for four
singles and three runs during Akron's
part of the initial inning. He then
settled down and allowed the home
players but five hits during the bal
ance of the game. There arc several
good players on the local team," but
it is not well balanced. With two or
f
three changes it could be made into a
fast club.
