AKRON BEACON JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 6, 1915. MORE REASONS FOR GRANTING DIVORCE IN OHIO BEACON JOURNAL COLUMBUS BUREAU. COLUMBUS, March married folks form a settled aversion one toward the other, they ought to have a right to be divorced. That is the proposal of Representative Hulswitt, of Hamilton' county, and put it in black and white in the forms of a bill. So, if the Hulswitt bill should become a law and a married pair decided that that they had come to dislike one another to the extent that their, mutual settled disregard aversion," had they come could to appear in court and relate their troubles and that would be the end of their conjugal existence.

The Cincinnatian, however, proposes other grounds for divorce, too. would permit the permanent separation of folks if one of them had been addicted for a year to the use of harmful drugs, or if one had deserted the other for a period of one year. The present la wgives the right of separation after three years' desertion. It is practically certain now that no matter what form the new administration civil service bill will assume, it will not seek to displace employes in the public service who have been there for ten years. Republican leaders have agreed on this program and CITY AND COUNTY STILL FIGHT OVER BRIDGE APPROACH The matter of repairing the street approaches to the N.

Howard st. and Cuyahoga st. bridges stood Friday, after a conference between city officials and county commissioners, just where it did previously. No agreement was reached. Each believed that the other should take care of the paring of the approaches.

The matter will be brought up in council meeting Monday night, Councilman Wilson, who attended the meeting, declared Saturday. Wilson said he could not say what action would be taken by council, but something probably will be done to compel commissioners to act. E. S. JOHNSON IS CITY SOLICITOR KENT, March S.

Johnson was appointed city solicitor to serve at the pleasure of the council. Attorney Johnson succeeds Attorney Newton, who resigned because of his appointment as member of the Portage county liquor licensing commission. B. C. Stokes was appointed fire chief and qualified before the mayor.

A resolution was passed on first reading to change the rate of intereSt from four and one-half to five per cent. on the sewer bonds. Because there were not enough nembers present to suspend the rules, it became necessary for the council to meet Tuesday and Wednesday evenings to complete legislation. Miller and Wright were absent. FOUR TOWNSHIPS ARE QUARANTINED RAVENNA, March Palmyra, Atwater and Deerfield townships are quarantined against the foot and mouth disease, because they are within the quarantine radius of the case of the disease in Mahoncounty.

The disease is not in Portage county. DOG NOT MAD. The dog that caused much excitement on N. Howard st. Friday was said at the health department Saturday not to be mad, although the dog was not examined.

The case, however, was investigated and it was found to be simply a case of a plain dog fight. it is even possible that employes of seven years' service may be accepted operation file any "ripper" legislation. What present sembly is seeking to do is to compel those persons who took a non-competitive examination to compete with outsiders now for their positions. The new agreement thus will save the older employes much trouble. Joseph Moody, aged 69, of CoIn lumbus, probably holds the record for longevity of service as a baggage master in Ohio.

After 43 years of continuous service in work of this kind for the Pennsylvania railroad, he has just been retired, having been placed on the company's "roll of honor." He has been in a dozen different wrecks, some of them bad ones, never was seriously injured. Bandits once planned to attack his car. Moody and his men prepared for the attack, but it did not come. Penny lunches at the Columbus schools are productive of good results. Since starting them the work of the pupils has shown improvement.

These lunches have been provided at schools in the less prosperout parts the city. The lunches consist of soup and oatmeal crackers, or milk chocolate or a glass of milk. The lunches are served at recess time. LIQUOR MEN MAY RESIGN APRIL 1 COLUMBUS, March unverified report current here is that a number of county liquor license commissioners have sent in their hesignations to the state liquor cense commission as a result of the reduction in salaries recently ordered by Governor Willis. These resignations, it is said, do not became effective until April 1, when the proposed salary reduction is expected to go into effect.

It is not known whether alleged resignations serve to dela'y the opening of saloons in the 23 dry counties which became wet as a result of the adoption of the home rule amendment last fall.

E. Young Ladies' Bible class. Motto: "Work and Win." Adjutant Hughes, of the Salvation Army, had his full Regimental band out to escort newsboys from the postoffice to the tabernacle, but owwilling to some misunderstanding only a few turned out.

C. A. meetings will be arranged at the hour for the business men of noon city. The sermon for Sunday afternoon is to be that along the line of "Popular Amusements of the Day." Dr. Scoville's sermon, in part, follows: "In our morning devotions up at the house, when some member of the company takes the sacred Word, and our minds are clear, then we kneel in a circle as an evangelistic family and pray.

I do not mention it to bring it before you, but to me it is wonderful how much real power we are getting in made an' the atmosphere statement like in that. this tabernacle that power atmosphere is a prayer prevaded atmosphere. The power on Pentecost this direction. Power of unit, power of earnestness, power of sincerity, as well as earnestness, because we lack sincerity--I thank -preyer will return that to us. The curse of the church is Insincerity, leading a prayer meeting without an object.

This leads me to the subject of the evening as found in Luke. 4-18, 'The Spirit of the Lord is up me, because He hath anointed, me to preach the gospel to He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are Dr. Scoville said that sermons are like young preachers, fearfully and wonderfully made. Calling on the members of his party especially so on Mr. Sandy, he said that his text was "What Think Christ." Marty smiled and shook his head, meaning that his first sermon is yet to come.

Mrs. Scoville was asked but she blushed and made but the doctor came to no response her rescue and said: "It was some one alright for her sermon isn't done yet I am getting it every (Great laughter.) In refering to lad ysaid regarding Dr. Talmadge, and his sermons the evangelist that the reason she liked them was because "the doctor could expectorate on any subject." At this the evangelist drew his fountain pen and talked along manners, manners regarding the shaking of a pen so that the ink would flow freely but in so doing it usually threw ink to the floor and on carpets or rugs. The line of expec torating in the saw dust was touched on and deplored of. "Jesus was filled wih the Holy Spirit after he returned from Jordan "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me' the Master was quoting from the old testament scriptures as found in Isaiah 61-1.

Notice in the 16th verse 'And he to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and as his custom Ah I like that friends, would like to see It "custom" come from every person in Akron to go to the Lord's house on the Lord's day. There should never be any question of an elder or deacon or any ber of the church about going to church on the Lord's day. The pastors look for certain people to be in their place on Sunday and if they are not there they know something has happened and they are astonished at their absence. Then again there are too many oncers. Why be oncers going to the churchy morning and not again In evening, you ex pect the pastor to be there why not you as well? Once in a while you will find a church where they have two different kinds of services on Sunday, in the morning a worshipful service and the evening an evangelistic service.

It will be a happy day when that power of coming out and out as it was in the olden days with the messengers of Christ. Reference was made to a father coming to the evangelist at the close of great campaign that was held in a certain city and in. which the young lady was an active, earnest personal worker and the father wanted to see if she could not join the evangelistic company but Dr. Scoville stated that he would rather she prove herself before her church, getting on the young people's society, the missionry ciety, to teach a Sunday school class but was necessary that she work at home and when the time came she would be led out to a greater line but it is better to first begin at home. If you can sing, "I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord" it will go Just as well.

His Conclusion. The conclusion of the narrative was the quoting of the old song, "Christ is all, all to me." Reference was made that on the platform sat a minister, who this week had laid away four of his best members this week, and of the broken heart that he carries today. "One of your pastors visited a lady recently, who is suffering terrible pain, yet when he talked to her, she said that although she had great pain she had deep joy and that her cup was running over." "Ah there is nothing that possesses so much peace as that which is found in the Christian religion.

It pays dividends today, dividends each month and each year it promises the life that now is and the life that is to come. You do not need to wait until you get to heaven, en, you can have that deep peace and happiness now. 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon Many Biblical characters were quoted, showing that they had their life filled and thrilled with the Spirit of the Lord, and at the conclusion of the many spoken of, the speaker said that just as their lives were rich, fertile, profitable and successful, just so could our lives be if we would but ask of Him. "We could win Akron, we could win the state of Ohio, we could win these great Central states, yes we could win the earth in one gen-1 eration if we had the Spirit of the Lord in each and every church, and Christian life, and it being daily for God. "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor.

Ah. I like that friends, to the poor." Dr. Scoville made it plain that the cities must have their great factories and that capitalists well as the working people receive the Gospel, and that the masses should not be against the classes nor the classes against the masses. That the rich are anxious for the Gospel was shown inthe story of the worker who visited a wealthy man, and when he asked him to become a Christian, he replied that this was the first time that any one had ever asked him that question. The concluding story of the evening was one that described a wife pleading with her husband to become a Christian before she died.

This was not done until a special meeting in which the speaker had the privilege of conducting, and at one of those services the man came weeping, and with both arms around the evangelist, cried out his agony of heart to get right with his God. "Ah friends, he said he would if he felt sure that his wife would know that he had accepted Christ. We have too much postmortem kindness, let us give it before death comes."

It was with that the company officials and those in charge the rescue work were able to get to the men, whose appearance had caused shouts of joy fairly to ring from the mountain top The hour of sorrow had in a twinkling been turned into one of celebration as these men came out as from the dead. Rescuers Make Haste. With the information that many more were alive back in the dark recesses of the mine rescurers with oxygen helmets made haste to find the entombed miners and lead them from the very depth of the grave. Experienced miners at once realized how the men kept themselves alive and that the question now was reach them before they succumbed to the inevitable for want of fresh air, food and water. The first survivors explained that they had kept themselves alive by bratticing themselves in.

an entry. This was done just as soon as it was discovered that there had been an explosion and there was no hope of getting to the entrance without being caught by the after damp. The warnings of the cool headed miners in most instances were obeyed. There was no dead bodies found. In broken English one of the Italian survivors explained that after.

hearing the explosion they at once procured cloth such as is used for ordinary brattice work, placed it across a left entry and rushed all men nearby into it. Then tearing a small hole into the center of the cloth, some one was kept stationed at the little hole to smell the "grease." By that the miners understood the air was foul and unsafe to enter. Early Saturday forenoon when the big fan had driven the fresh air back through main entry off from which the miners had bratticed themselves, the watcher failed to detect "grease" and five of the party left their barricade and walked out through the long main entry passing the rescuers along the way and turning the mourners on the outside into' a crowd of Joyous shouters. Caskets for each entombed miner was awaiting for its claimant. In many instances graves had been dug to bury the men, who were thought to be dead.

A man who was suing and being sued for divorce, told Judge Ahern Friday afternoon that two drinks would make him drunk, and then in cross examination admitted that he and a friend bought over a gallon of whisky on the way from West Latayette to Akron shortly after his marriage. He was drunk when he WAS married, he testified. Neither the man nor his wife were granted a divorce. Ahern will decide the case Bernard' Maranda said he married his 20-year-old wife two weeks after he met her. They were married seven months ago.

The romance started when Maranda rode past her house motorcycle with a friend. A flirtation led to a speedy proposal, the young wife testified, after Maranda said he was wealthy. Her chum, who was with her when the men rode past her house, married Maranda's friend on the same day that they were wed, she said. Mrs. Maranda, it is said, was the belle of West Lafayette.

The young wife first sued for divorce charging cruelty and drunkenness, then Maranda came back with a cross-petition. Inherited Love of Drink. Attorney Geo.
