That Akron street cars will be operating on Thursday as well as thereafter seemed assured this noon following a conference between the officials of the traction company and a committee representing the local union of street railway employes.

This conference which was held behind closed doora in the general offices of the company will likely be productive of an agreement between the men and the company. It is understood that a new proposal has been made to the men by the company but what the terms of tne proposal are could not be learn ed, iveitner the company officials nor the committee of employes would make any statement following the meeting this morning. A full rennrt of the conference will be made to the leaders this afternoon and this will uo louowea by a public announce ment oi the proposal which has been made by the company.

Drug Clerk's Story on Stand and That of the Proprie tor Differ.

Springfield, April 29 "No. I never sold cyanide to any doctor." This was the statement Daniel M. Patterson, drug clerk, made to George W. McCann, with whom Patterson worked, according to McCann, who testified for the defense In the mur der trial of Arthur B. Smith here today.

Patterson had testified for the state that he sold cyanide to Dr. Smith In January or February, 1912 prior to the death of Mrs. Smith. Mc Cann Bald he asked Patterson In January, this year, if he had sold smith cyanide, and Patterson gars him the reply quoted. Dr.

Julius Eichberg of Cincinnati testified today that he attended Alfred C. Caviler, brother of the first Mrs. Smith, during his last illness and that Caviler died from myocarditis. Francis K. Allen, a metal worker, testified that he had experimented with cyanide of potassum and that SMC POINT FOR DENSE Senator W.

A. Weygandt, of Ravenna, was yesterday named by LU tenant Governor Nichols as chairman of a Senate committee, which will during the coming Summer investigate and report to the next ees-Blon concerning the advisability of disposing of the state system of canals. Other members of the committee are Senators Hopple and Wise. Senator Weygandt, when In Akron last week, of course unaware at that time that he would be a member, said that the committee will make an Investigation and inspection of the canal system of the state, and hear arguments on the question of the disposition of the state's waterway. He advised that the public officials as well as the canoe clubs take over the canal and reservoirs and manufacturers of Akron and Barberton make instant preparation te take over the canal and reservoirs of the Summit level by bond issue or In Borne other manner, as such action will no doubt become necessary if the city Is to retain the water rights that it now uses.

"The almost unanimous opinion of the members of the Legislature is that the state canals have far outlived their usefulness, ande are no longer of any value to the state for transportation purposes," said Sena Probably Fatal Wound Not Discovered Until the Hospital Was Reached. Fell to Floor in tho Office of Vendome Hotel, Where He Spent Night. When Dominic Romeo walked into the Vendome hotel last' night and called for a room, It was seen that he did not seem in the best of health, but he was shown a room and noth ing more was seen of him. This morning, on coming downstairs he reeled and fell heavily to the floor. Billow's ambulance was summoned and the man was taken to the hos pital.

Upon examination it was found that he had been shot in the stomach, and an angry wound was brought to view. Police say that the man had been drinking heavily last evening and they believe that he determined on ending his life and sent a bullet crashing into his stomach. It fS claimed that the man came here from Pittsburg In search of work, but had become despondent, took to drinking and shot himself as a result. SICK MAN HAD BULLET IN BODY London, April 20.

His Ability as an Expert At tacked in Cleveland Council Debate. The agreement with the N. O. T. L.

Co. over street car line exten sions, which is being prepared by A. B. DuPont of Cleveland, was not presented to Council at its BesBloa last night. Mr, DuPont has been so busy in landing a job In Cleveland that he has not had the time to do the work for which he was engaged by the city of Akron.

When this report will be ready, no one seems to know. Chairman Esch of the railway and light committee could not' tell when he expected the report. He said that he had heard nothing of the' report and would be unable to say when he expected to receive the agreement. According to information from Cleveland, Mr. DuPont, with the aid of Mayor Baker, landed the office of city arbitrator in the Cleveland rail way dispute last night in the meeting of the Cleveland Council.

A very lively debate occurred, in which the ability of Mr. DuPont as an expert In traction matters was questioned. Now that he has succeeded In getting this Job he will likely at some distant date prepare the Akron agreement and Bead it to the committee. TO Trouble Expected When Illinois White Slave Com mittee Resumes Session. Resort Keeper Would Dis close Names of Legislators Who Visited Place.

Springfield, IlL, April 29. In preparation for possible trouble when the Illinois Senate white slave committee resumes Its hearing here tonight. Lieutenant Governor O'Hara today ordered ten extra sergeantrat-arms to attend the session of the committee and prevent any one entering the committee room to give testimony that has not been asked. Word reached the Lieutenant Governor today that a number of persons who have not been subpenaed were planning to Invade the committee's rooms in the Leland hotel tonight, and compel the committee to listen to their testimony. There persons, O'Hara said, were understood to be keepers of resorts In Springflold.

who were threatening to "expose" members of the legislature. A report was widely circulated to day that a woman had been called to testify, and she replied that if she was compelled to appear before the committee she would disclose the names of 60 or more legislators who have spent time and money in her re sort. The report was that following ma wuman inreai, sne was not called.

CAUGHT HIS FOOT BETWEEN BUMPERS Jerry O'Connor was taken from me cuy jail to the hospital this morning, suiiering with an injured foot.

He was arrested at the Union depot last night on a charge of clinging to a train. He claimed that he had come here from Pittsburg, and took that way of riding because he had no money. He was riding on the bumpers, and near the depot, a sudden start of the train Jarred him, and his foot was caught between the bumpers. A physician was called this morning and ordered the man sent to the hospital. The Injury was not of a very serious nature, and he will be given a hearing as soon as he is able.

CARPENTER'S TOOL CHEST IS LOOTED H. N. Titus, a carpenter, living at 962 Jefferson street, found his tool chest broken open and several valuable tools missing when he went to work at Lakeside park this morning. The chest had been broken open and tools amounting to about $50 taken. The chest had been left in the pavilion and was very easy of access.

The police are inclined to blame the robbery to the same source as others of like nature, during the past week that of "bums," who seem to overrun the city at the present time, REPORT ON XTENSIONS WUA William H.

Ohm was the "brains" and silent lchQ riar nf a on no- nf naimn hnrir lars and highwaymen, according to confessions of three of the men who said they were members of the gang. Ohm, according to the three highway-, men, walked his beat at night, and In the day time planned and ordered the robbery of places and pedestrians In his district. Ohm drew a salary of $100 ai month for his police work.

His family lives in a costly home in Austin, a suburb, and he owns a large automobile. Lads of Tender Years Steal a Horse and Come to Akron- Are Found in East Akron and Held Until Canton Officer Arrives. The de3ire of three very young Canton boys for adventure was suddenly changed last night when they were arrested by Officer O. Wilson in Bast Akron. They were driving a horse which they claimed they had stolen in Canton.

Tho fact that the horse showed hard driving and the Immature years of the boys, the oldest of whom was 12, led the officer to stop the horse and ask ser-taln questions. The fact was finally developed that the boys had run away from school, stolen the horse and driven to Akron. The horse was placed In a livery stable, and the boys taken to the county jail. The Canton police were notified and an officer came for the rig and the boys this morning. They gave their names as Earl Bal-zet, aged 9 years; Ray Stout, aged 12 years, and Mearl Stout, aged 9 years.

The boys were pretty well scared as this was their first experience in the hands of the police and the cell and bars of me county jail were not conducive to much sleep on their part. Cleveland Council May In vestigate His Right' to Do the Work For Akron. Discussion Develops Short age of Help in Engineering Department. That the city of Cleveland Is complaining about its experts and employes working for Akron and other municipalities while in the employ of Cleveland was asserted at the meeting of City Council last night by Councilman Shaw, who said that In a talk with a Cleveland councilman, he was advised that the Council of Cleveland intended to make an Investigation of all the city departments and ascertain how many hours its employes put in on Cleveland work. This statement was made by Mr.

Shaw when the contract employing Engineer Pratt of Cleveland to draw the plans of the proposed garbage disposal plant, came up for passage by Council. Council was advised that much of the ground proposed for the sewage disposal plant had been washed away by the recent floods and that It would be necessary to have a new survey and new maps made of the land. Engineet Gehres was asked if his department could do the work, and he advised Council that with the force at his command this would be Impossible for some time. It was then proposed that Engineer Pratt be hired to do this work. Finally It was decided to leave the matter with the Service Director and the City Engineer.

Engineer Gehres told the Council that his department needed more help to carry on the work. Councilman Jfffers told the Council that he felt tat the engineering department should be given more help and some means should be provided for this purpose. It was finally decided to leave the matter In the-hands of Director Pillmore. Pillmore, however, said that he would be unable to employ more engineers unless Council would provlae the money for that purpose. The resolution authorizing a contract with Engineer Pratt for $1,250 to prepare the plans for a garbage and sewage disposal plant was passed.

WILSON STRICT ON THE IMMIGRANTS Washington, April 20, Several members of Congress who declined to discuss the matter for publication, today complained of the rigorous manner In which the immigration laws are being enforced by Secretary of Labor Wilson. They said they might press for an investigation of the Secretary's conduct by Congress. One member declared he had unsuccessfully appealed to the department in the cases of over a half dozen aliens who were ordered deported because of trivial physical defects, iA ME CAN IN Li 11 accepted or rejected la not knowt at mis time but the general Impression prevails that it will be accepted and all fears ot a strike will go glimmering. Yesterday afternoon th confer ence with the men 1 wus arranged. For more than two hours the men were closeted with Mr.

Christy and General Superintendent Douglas. Every phase of the controversy was gone over and the men agreed to take the new proposal of the company and Bubmit it to the leaders. The final answer Is expected either thla afternoon or early tomorrow. It became known Otis morotng that the company has made no plans looking toward bringing men Into Akron to take the place of the employes should they strike. This was brought about by the fact that the' company has felt for some time that there would be no strike and that as soon as the matter was put to the men In the right light that they would see the folly of a strike and aome agreement could be reached.

iow wis seems more probable than erer sfnoe this morning's conference. The men left the office of the company in a happy frame of mind and the general comment mads vy umi puDiio wnen the men were seen was "there will be no strike."

After having adjourned until May 1, the ambassa dors conference unexpectedly resumed Its sessions in the foreign office this afternoon. This unexpected pro cedure was brought about by Austria's announced determination to act In dependently In driving the Monte negrins out of Scutari.

Montenegro Is determined to hold Scutari against any action that Europe may take. Work of fortifying the city has started. Guns, ammunition and provisions are being taken Into the city. The usual precautions against attack are being made. This information was received today i)y the Echo In a Scutari dispatch dated yesterday.

Although tho bulk of the Montenegrin army has been withdrawn from Scutari, King Nicholas' military operations are a mystery. A diplomatic representative of Montenegro declares that if the powers force the Montenegrins to give up Scutari, King Nicholas will abdicate. The envoy denies emphatically that Nicholas bargained with Essad Pasha for the surrender of Scutari. A telegram said that It was reported there that a hostile demonstration had been made in the streets of Cettlnje, the capital of Montenegro, against Baron Olesel Von Glestlngen, Austrian minister of Montenegro. The Austrian government is dissatisfied with the conditions reached in the Ambassadoral High Court of Arbitration yesterday and so inform ed Sir Edward Grey, the English for eign minister, today.

The Charter Commission will have two resolutions before It for discussion, at its meeting tonight. The Beery resolution introduced two weeks ago, will come up for discussion as will also the Gauthier resolution. The Beery resolution provides for a commission or council of five men elected at large. The Gauthier resolution provides that all legislative authority delegated by the new charter be vested in a council. Both resolutions have been discussed to some extent In former meetings and it would seem that very little remains to be said on either one.

MAYDEED FOR FOR AKRON Or tor Weygandt. "This was the gen eral opinion expressed In both houses in all the discussions and it was the view of a large number that ill their present neglected condition it would be better to dispose of the whole system to the best possible ad vantage provided a reasonable sum can be acquired by the state rather than allow the canals to continue to decay and probably be disposed of bit by bit to Interested parties for comparatively nothing. It would be very bad policy to allow the valua ble terminals to be disposed of with little or no returns, leaving the much less valuable portions in country dis tricts remaining, hence it is expected that a plan will be evolved whereby- the entire canal system of the state except those parts held under long term leases will be offered to the highest bidder. In receiving bids, opportunities will be given to pur chase any parts of the canal desired, and It Is hoped that the city of Akron will not neglect the op portunlty offered to acquire that por tion of the canal so necessary to its needs." Senator Weygandt said that he preferred to have the canal property taken over by the municipalities rather than by private citizens provided the state is properly compensated. Council Passes City Law as a Sequel to the Rubber Workers' strike.

-M Fixes a Penalty $500 Fine For the Inciting of a Disturbance. As a direct outcome of the difficulty the police had in. maintaining order during the recent Btrlke of rubber the Akron Council last evening adopted an ordinance against the Inciting of a disturbance or riot and placing a fine of not to exceed $500 as a penalty for such act The passage of the ordinance was opposed by the two socialist council-men, Esch and Moewe and In the vote on final passage they were joined by Councilman Jeffers. The ordinance is aimed to reach those responsible for disorders, as were the I. W.

W. leaders who preached violence in the recent strike and then remained In the background when the real trouble developed. gresslve and Republican votes. The Governor Influence would not have sufficed to pass the bill over the op position of machine politicians in his own party. Democratic amendments which were adopted exempt election board em ployes, court bailiffs and ordinary labor from the classified lists.

With these changes, the bill received but sixty-nine votes, seven more than a constitutional majority. Most of the thirty-two votes against It came from Democrats and a number of Demo crats who did not want to oppose the Governor openly, "ducked" the roll call. Senator Frlebolin wa loath to take a second chance with the bill in the House and agreed to let the Senate concur in the House amendments The votes by which two bills wers beaten May 23 were reconsidered by the House and passed, thus keeping tip tne record of the present assemniy tor dbck tracking. Two Measures Saved. me measures saved in this way were tne Mooney senate bill, ner mltting cities to enter into tenJyear contracts for electric current, and the Haas Senate bill, appropriating $4,000 for the completion of a state building code.

The House, by a vote of 66 nays to 82 yeas, refused to accept the conference report of the administration bill for optional municipal charters because It restored to the measure provision for non-partisan nominations which machine politicians took out of It originally. The bill was sent to a second conference committee. The Senate passed a substitute for the original Vollmer nine-hour working day for women. The substitute contains only that provision of the original bill, which extends the present law to include women employed In mercantile establishments. I'm Wodst.

ANWIG ORDINANCE BE BUNGLED LEGISLATION HEGI AT MEETING TONIGH Montenegrins In its note to Sir Edward the Austrian foreign office continued to indicate that Austria may yet be compelled to act independently to drive the Montenegrins out of Scutari. Vicuna, April 20. Announcement was made to the press representative at the foreign office this afternoon that Austria had finally decided to act independently in the expulsion of the Montenegrins from Scutari. The statement said: "Austria, tindlng that the conference In London has produced no results, this government has decided to take matters Into Its own bands and carry out the powers' decision regarding the evacuation of Scutari." Italy Is protesting against Austria changing Its plans and Is endeavoring to have Montenegro give up Scutari without a struggle. Constantinople, April 20.

Following a council of ministers here today the porte sent Instructions to all the Turkish ambassadors and ministers abroad to support EBsad Paoha's proclamation of the Importance at Albania with himself as king. The Impression prevails here that Essad Pacha proclaimed himself king, not for reasons of personal ambition, but for patriotism to Turkey. According to the belief here, Essad Pacha hoped that he might be able to retain the rulershlp of Turkey over Albania by setting himself up as monarch. Turkey is also taking hope from rumors of dissension among the Balkan allies. I On Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Mayor Newton D.

Baker of Cleveland will speak before the Charter Commission on "Charter Commission Organization." It Is also probable that he will tell some things about the federal form, as that is the form decided on by the Cleveland Charter Commission, of which Mayor Baker is a member. The meeting will be held In the usual meeting place of the commission, which Is the Circuit court room in the Court House. It Is hoped that citizens who are Interested In the welfare of the city, will take this opportunity of hearing Mayor Baker, who Is said to be a foremost authority on municipal government Pankhurst would be the signal for an Followers of the famous militant leader declared that if Mrs. Pankhurst were not released they would make reprisals in the form of violence which would not ony shock Europe but the entire world. Solicitor Marshall, representing the Woman's So cial and Political union, early in the day presented a medical certificate to Home Secretary McKenna in support of his contention that It would be dangerous to remove Mrs.

Pankhurst at this time. Later, the home office sent doctors to examine the prisoner. The ticket of leave upon which Mrs Pankhurst was released for treatment expired yesterday.

Militants Demand That Mrs. Pankhnrst he Freed Extension of Leave Granted Today From the Home Office Suffragets Say Violence Can be Expected Which Will Shock the Entire 'Civilized World. Since the offer made by tie trustees of Buchtel college to the city of Akron to turn over to the city all the property and endowments now controlled by that institution for the purpose of creating a municipal college has been favorably received by press and public, Dr. P.

R. Kolbe, president of the college, address a letter to the City Council which was read at the meeting last night. In this letter Dr. Kolbe sets forth what was done in Cincinnati in the matter of annexation of new territory to the city when the University of Cincinnati was created. He holds out the same hope for the city of Akron in its plan to annex additional property.

I The letter sent by Dr. Kolbe to the City Council 1b as follows: "I have read with considerable Interest the plans under way of the City Council for the enlargement or tne territory and the population of the city of Akron. I believe that a general discussion of the general features of this plan would be of considerable interest, not only to the people already within the city, but also to the Inhabitants of the territory which it It proposed to annex. While I am not In a position to deal intelligently with many of the important phases of the question, yet I want to call your attention to a factor which has, in one case at least, bean ot considerable value In forming public sentiment In matters of this sort. "A recent article in the Beacon-Journal, based on an interview with a citizen of Barberton, brought out the interesting fact that the proposed establishment ot a municipal college in the city of Akron would doubtless have considerable weight and influence in annexation of new territory to the city, owing to the fact that in- habltanta Jhejsltyjrcmld.

-receive Columbus, April 20. Converted into a jobbing shop for the repair of bungling and defective legislation, the General Assembly had so much to do Monday that it couldn't adjourn sine die at 6 p. per its resolution. The clocks in the assembly halls were therefore stopped in the middle of the afternoon that the legislature may work today under the fiction that it is still Monday. Afraid to risk a new congressional gerrymander bill to another vote in the House, the Democratic floor leaders found a new way for patching up the holes in the Fulton measure which disfranchises the voters of a Cincinnati ward and mixes up two of the Cleveland districts.

In tracing the course ot the Fulton bill through the assembly to final passage, it was found that instead of adjournments there had been a series of recesses in the House since conference committee amendments to the measure were concurred in. Therefore, the vote agreeing to the conference report was reconsidered. The House next voted to reject the report and had the bill sent to a Second conference committee, which patched up the holes with corrective amendments. "Bine Sky" Bill Bungled. It turned out today that the "Bine Eky" bill of Representative Clark, of Cincinnati, regulating the Bale of stocks and bonds, had also been bungled and a stunt was resorted to similar to that applied in curing the gerrymander.

A second conference committee fixed the bill up so that the superintendent of insurance, made tho "blue sky" commissioner, should be served with summons In law suits instead of the Secretary of State.
