LET US DEMONSTRATE THIS TO YOU. AKRON AUTOMOBILE GARAGE CO. Repairs and Salesroom 9 WEST BUCHTEL AVENUE People's Phone 1116 5 The two teams from Akron failed to do anything in the national bowling tournament in Cleveland Monday evening, and it will remain for the Peerless, Rubbernecks and Grand to determine whether any of the prize money will com to this city. The Bachelors and the Kirkwoods rolled Monday evening, the former securing 40 more pins than the latter.

The Bachelors finished 13th in a list of teams, and the Kirkwoods were 15th. The big armory where the games were rolled was very cold, and the players I seemed unable to get warmed up. High score for the evening went to the Stars of Detroit, who rolled 2,703, an average of 901. Notwithstanding the I fact that some of the crack teamB of the country rolled Monday evening, the scores were small. Tonight the Grands of this city will roll, being scheduled at 9:30 Following is the list of scores for the evening: Club and City: Total Pins.

The eastern delegation of bowlers who are claiming the earth, were not represented at the meeting, as they did not arrive until Tuesday morning.

Their request for an all wood ball limited to 16 pounds will not be granted. A large number of Akron people will go to Cleveland tonight to see the Grands roll. Owing to the fact that they won fourth money at the tourna ment last year, they are expected to make a good showing, and their many admirers will be disappointed they do not finish well up in the bunch of money winners. GRAND-MAIN SCHEDULE. This week's schedule for the Grand- Main bowling tournament is as follows: Main street alleys, Onlys vs.

Dry Goods clerks, Wednesday night; Goodyears vs. Buckeyes, Thursday night. Grand alleys, Business Men's club vs. A. B.

Tuesday night: Post-offlee vs. Cameras, Thursday night. NEW RECORD. A new city record was made by the Red Ribbon bowling team Monday night in a series with the Rubbernecks on the Main street alleys. The record was to establish a new score for a single game.

The Red Ribbons rolled 1040 in the first game. This score was five pins higher than that made by the Grands which was the city record heretofore. The average for the three games was 938. In the first game, when the city score record was broken, the only member of the team to fall below 200 was Mitchella, who rolled 193. Tha Rubbernecks rolled In good form in all but the last game when they seemed to lose heart because of the great work of their opponents.

Since the defeat of the Buchtel college basket ball team by Western Reserve at Cleveland Saturday the nttcntion of the local collegians will be given toward keeplii's from fulling lower tlinn second place In the elate championship racn. To ward this end the games that were played with Mt. Union, which were de- i. icats lor tne local team, may jru tested, Buchtel cannot stand second If those games nre slioived to enter Into the result of tho chamrionshfp race, LOCAL TOURNAMENTS. ager TUlett of tha Main street alleys will hold an individual tournament on hia alleys.

Cleveland bowlers have always been so well treated when they cam to this city to roll In the numerous tournaments which have been held here that they are all anxious to come again, and It is probable that each of the vents referred to will be the means of bringing a large number of the Forest City bowlers here. The Individual tournament will be a crass affair, giving all bowlers a chance at the money, no matter how Indifferently they roll. The event of the week In bowling circles in Akron will be the visit Tuesday night of Steve Geraux's Derbies from Chicago to roll the Peerless team on the Colonial alleys. The Derbies are among the best bowlers In Windy City, and ft Is' expected that they will give the Peerless team a stiff argument although the alleys will be strange to them. CLIPPERS COMING.

The Clippers bowling team of Cuyahoga Falls will meet the Red Ribbon team on the Main street alleys Tuesday night. The local team expects to win. KIRKWOOD BOWLING. Team A of the Kirkwood club defeated team of the same club three straight games on the Kirkwood alleys Monday The schedule for the latter part of the week has been chang ed and teams and will roll Thursday instead of Wednesday night. The scores for Monday night's game were as follows: A 1439, 1422, 1406; 1426, 1290, 1337.

I RAILROAD NEWS. A large force of workmen under the direction of Major J. G. Pangburn is engaged in the novel undertaking of removing the transportation exhibit from the Field Columbian museum at Chicago to the fair grounds at St. Louis, where ft will be installed as the exhibit of the Baltimore Ohio rail road, This exhibit was originally collected by the Baltimore Ohio for the world's fair at Chicago, where it at traded a great deal of attention.

At the close of the exposition It was given to the museum with the understanding that if the railroad company again desired to use it for exposition purposes it would be placed at its disposal. When loaded the exhibit will be mov ed in one train to St. Louis, the train to consist of 60 cars and many engines. Proves Our Railways Safe. The press agent of the General Man agers' association as of Chicago has found 11 Chicago railroads whose mileage is greater than that of all British roads and which equaled the record of the latter by not killing a passenger in train accidents during the year ending June 30, 1903.

The Chicago roads in question killed 15 passengers in other ways, as against 135 for the British roads, and killed a total of 865 persons, as against 1,171 for the British roads. Figures are also shown to prove that mile for mile of railroad operated the roads of the United States killed few er people than those of Great Britain, Germany and France combined. Cars Left Track. Two cars of an Erie switching train left the tracks on a switch at the rear of the Taplin Rice plant Saturday evening. The car ran into two other cars standing on a B.

O. switch and damaged them greatly. Superintend ent C. A. Allen of this division of the road was in the city Saturday night investigating the accident Trainmen say that no reason can be given for the cars leaving the track.

Train Delayed. The New York' special east-bound 'o. 44, on the Erie, which makes connections between Youngstown and Chi cago, and which is due in this city at 12:45 p. was delayed -over three hours, Monday on account of the New York special, No. 6, running between Youngstown and New York city, with which the local train makes connec tions, leaving the tracks near Corry, Sunday night.

The train was de railed on account of a frozen frog which caused the engine to 'leave the rails. The. speed at which the train was being operated caused the whole train which was made up of a mall car, com bination baggage and smoker, day conch, cafe car, two Pullman sleepers, and a parlor car to leave the track. The prompt appliance of the emergency brakes by the engineer saved any one from serious Injury. Traffic was blocked all night One million persons In the United States own railway stocks or bond Eighty per cent of the holdings in American railroads Is now held In the United etatw.

The action of the supreme court in declaring unconstitutional the law providing that banking and trust com panies can serve as administrators and guardians of estates, wil have but little effect in Summit county," said Probate Judge Pardee Tuesday.

"There are but two guardianships held by a trust company in the county, and the Akron Trust company is guardian in each instance. I suppose that new guardians will have to be appointed, but I have not yet received a copy of the decision of the court." The syllabus In full is as follows: "1. Trust companies are without ca pacity to receive and exercise appointments as administrators of the estates of deceased persons because the legis lation evincing an intention, to clothe them with such capacity (Sections 3821c, 3821f, Revised Statutes), is void, being of a general nature and not of uniform operation throughout the state as is required by section 26, article 2 of the constitution. 2. The court of common pleas has jurisdiction to review an order of the probate court denying the right to administer the estate of a deceased person, which section 6005, Revised Stat utes, confers upon the next of kin, if a suitable person.

Judgment of the circuit court affirmed In part and reversed in part," Not Disturbed. The Cleveland Plain Dealer says of the effect of the decision in Cleveland: Cleveland bankers are not at all disturbed over the decision of the supreme court denying the right of trust companies to act as guardian, admin istrator or executor by appointment from the probate court. There is a new provision in the Moore banking act, now under way through the legis lature covering that point, and even If that point In the new law was knocked out the trouble caused would be of but small consequence. In all the important trusts accept ed by the trust companies, and in nearly all the importarit cases where they act as administrator or executor, they are designated to serve In that capacity by the will of the deceased, and the best attorneys in the state claim that any man has a perfect right if John Smith before death decides to leave a million-dollar estate in the bands of a trust company to be administered or held under the provisions of the will he makes, there is no court in the land that can overturn the right or Interfere with the enforcement of the provisions the will. Settled by Wills.

"In these days all Important estates are settled according to wills. In cases where the trust companies are appointed by the courts to take charge of estates, it is usually a small estate and the large corporations are designated because there is a special reason for wanting the small estate handled with care and by some authorized agency of demonstrated reliability. There Is little profit to the companies from these small estates, even if they lose them, they would still retain their large estates and trust funds sent to them under the provisions of wills. "The only feature of the situation under the circumstances that might Interest the trust companies is their right to continue to act under the provisions of wills, and this right, the best attorneys In the state claim. Is one not subject to the slightest danger from the courts under the recent decision or any other phase of the question brought before the courts." A NEW ASBESTOS CURTAIN Manager T.

James, who has been sent by the National Congress of Mothers, to speak to the women of Akron.

THE AUTO PATROL Nothing Like It is Used the Entire Country. in ITS COST IS VERY SMALL Cheaper to Maintain- Than a Team of Horses for the Purpose. The proposal to build an addition to the patrol wagon "stable" In orderto ake more room for the operator and the wagon officer again emphasizes the fact that few other cities have taken up the idea of having an auto wagon for police purposes such as this city has. The wagon has been In operation four years or over, and in that time it has been far less expensive than a team of horses used for the purpose of drawing a wagon to gather in the delinquents. Operator Louis Mueller made some interesting observations Monday In regard to the patrol, indicating that it is much cheaper to maintain the horseless wagon than to keep a team.

"It does not cost more than J8 a month for power for the wagon," he said. "Some months the cost does not reach that sum. If a team of Tiorses were kept, as was done under the old method, they would cost $250 a year at least, Then there would be the expense of maintaining a two-story stable, and the ground such a building mrould occupy would be wortn something on account of the rent It would cost. It is a lot of expense and worry to keep a team, too, for oftentimes one or both of them are sick, and that always means an extra cost of $1 or i4iiiiiiia 5 Don't Say That Don't say you can't 'afford to hava your teeth fixed because you can't afford to pay the high prices charged by some, because we do the very best work at prices which any one can afford.

With the electric motor that we use we are subject to very little expense for repairs, and practically the only cost Is for power, making about $100 a year in all." The Only One. In view of these figures, It would be to the advantage of other cities to adopt the same method as Akron in transporting her police captives to other city uses other than horse power, even Cleveland using horses.

That city purchased the wagon that was displaced by the present police patrol. The first cost of such a wagon is somewhat heavy, the Akron auto cost- tl nrtO ft fa nirolv lug auuui uv .1.0 to be of considerable duration, while the work is very hard on horses, and they are not able to stand the work long. Besides they may die at any time, and the cost of a team alone-for. patrol purposes would be at least $400. It would seem that If other cities knew how successful the Akron police patrol wagon system Is, and the efficiency with which the work 'is done, some of them at least would try tha modern Akron method Which Is becoming so common in other lines of transportation.

Mr. Mueller's observation "en; experiences as operator of the police patrol wagon in the past are interesting, and reflect credit on Akron as a law-abiding city. "I never saw such dull now for police work," he said "We have made less runs since the first of the year than ever slnce' I first became engaged In this duty, about eight years agoj Since January 1 tha wagon has made just 60 runs. A Dull Month. 4 "There were less made In January than in any month I ever knew.

It used to be, and when we had a team, too, that we would make nine and ten runs every shift, and I have taken the horses out on a run when they were hardly able to stand up, they were so tired. It was cruelty. They had to be kept shod sharply summer and winter. In speaking of the comparative cost of horses and electric power.

The McFarland case is now in common pleas court, the petition, in error from the decision of Mayor Kempel, who sentenced him to pay a fine of $25 and serve ten days in jail having been filed Monday afternoon. tF Tha petition states that there was 1 nf irregularity in uie yivLeeumfio wi court; that the transcript and record do not show Jurisdiction in the case; that the verdict is not sustained by sufficient evidence and is contrary to law; that, new evidence has been discovered; that the verdict is against tlie weight of evidence; that error of law occurred at the trial; that the court erred in the admission and rejection of testimony; that the court erred in inflicting excessive punishment.
