-Sft 12 AKRON BEACON JOURNAL', FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 'i, 1913. HFXP WANTED FEM.ALB. FOB RENT FLATS. Wheat is Bearish With Weather Predominating Taking of Freight Room at Gulf Ports Causes Quite a COUNTRY'S FIRST AUTO PATROL AT PANAMA EXP01 COST $451.88 TO CIRCULATE CITY CHARTER lounn PLUMBERS TO EE LICENSED Ripple in the Ranks of the Professionals Profit Taking Sales in Oats. of freight room, is that they have been made by men who will live in the hope that they will be enabled to get enough wheat for shipment abroad to take the room now owned by them.

This may be called speculation in freight room, and those who have bought it will make losses unless the wheat Is taken for export and the room consumed accordingly. The trade In Thursday was largely of an "evening up" character. The earth bulge was on reported large takings for export, but later there was heavy selling on conditions as set forth above. Cash sales here were 100,000 bushels. Primary receipts today were 572,000 bushels against 577,000 bushels for the same day last year.

The large holders of corn with profits supplied the demand today, and this seemingly helped the bears no little. The volume of trade was small in corn. Primary receipts were 577,000 bushels or 300,000 bushels less than for the corresponding time a year ago. Profit-taking sales In oats checked the advancing tendency, but the undertone was one of strength. Primary receipts were 569,000 bushels.

Lard was under selling pressure and closed lower, and while ribs were unchanged, pork was easier in sympathy with lard. There were increased offerings on all the lard Made and Used in This City Product of Frank Loomis. i Akron will have an exhibit at the Panama Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. Akron is going to send the old original electric police patrol wagon to the exposition, according to Police Captain Guillet. The wagon, first of its kind in the world, was designed and built by Frank Loomis, former city electrician.

It was put Into use in 1899 and saw active service for ten years. It was through the Akron riots of 1900 and was dumped over an embankment into the canal. The machine was fished out and agafn put into use none the worse fo its rough handling. Compared to modern cars, the old original "horseless patrol" looks like a relic from a former age. It has 42 and 48 inch wooden wheels with small solid rubber tires.

The motive power is supplied by dry storage batteries arranged under the seats which run lengthwise of the body. Captain Guillet said the machine, which is now stored at the city yard on Chestnut street, would be overhauled and repaired for exhibition purposes. Francis Sayre Admits He Admires His Prospective Father-in-Law Xew York, July 3. Francis Bows Sayre, fiance of Miss. Jessie Wood-row Wilson, daughter of the Presi- dent, found himself Thursday to be in the glare of the limelight.

Mr. Sayre since last Octobar has been a clerk in the complaint department of the District attorney's office. When it became known that he is to marry Miss Wilson, the criminal court building attaches dropped everything else to pop in and congratulate him. Mr. Sayre accepted the handshakes with blushing modesty.

All day long he had to answer a fire of eager questions as to his acquaintance with Miss Wilson, the romance of it all and points about his career. "I'm really not much of a person," protested Mr. Sayre, in telling what he knew of himself. "I'm here in this office because I want to work my own way in the world." He met Miss Wilson two years ago, he explained at the home of his aunt in Lancaster, where he lived for years and where Miss Wilson spent a Summer's vacation. "You see, Miss Wilson and I were hugely interested in social settlement work," he went on.

"She had studied it deeply and I had, too, both in my college days and since leaving Williams. Well, with a common point of interest it did not seem incongruous that we came to know each other very well." A hint that he tell of the romance of the engagement brought a smiling declination from young Sayre. Mr. Sayre who has just turned 28 became affiliated with the District Attorney's office through the influence of Col. Roosevelt, whom he admitted he immensely admired.

This impelled the interviewers to ask if Sayre is a Bull Moose. "No, I'm not," he replied reflectively. "I'm at heart a Republican I guess, but more than that, I believe in the principles as represented by the man. "To speak frankly I admire President Wilson for his ideas and principles political principles of course more than 1 do Mr. Roosevelt.

Yes, I like Mr. Wilson more." And a lumi-nious smile spread over Mr. Sayre's face. NEW OFFICER'S FIRST ARREST Fred Nelson, youthful policeman, who succeeded George Wilson, retired, Tuesday, made his first arrest as a member of the Akron force Thursday night. Nelson arrested James Faby, South Forge street, on a charge of intoxication.

TO MARRY IfS JESSIE WILSON Health Board Orders Give Clean Bill to High Street Livery. PEDDLING HOKEY POKEYS ALLOWED Drinking Water Found be Polluted Health Report. to HEALTH BOARD THVRSDAY MUHT. Approved report of City Chemist HardRrovc condemning supply of drinking water at Goodyear Tire Kubber Co. plant.

Recommended that all journeymen plumbers in city be licensed. Recommendation approved and draft will be submitted at next meeting. Recommended that Spring street residents build house around spring supplying them with drinking water. Objected strenuously to pumping of filth from sanitary sewer on open ground at Douglas and Bishop streets. Received reMrts of various health department attaches and made arrangements for employes' vacations.

On the motion of Member Charles W. Hoffman, Health Board decided to pass the necessary legislation requiring all journeymen plumbers in the city to obtain a license from the proper officials. At the present time, none but master plumbers are required to obtain a license. Two horses afflicted with heaves and distemper are putting the Bupply of spring water on Spring street on the "blink," according to Member Hoffman. Two dozen families on that street have been getting their supply of drinking water from a well on that thoroughfare for several years.

Within the past few weeks, two horses, which have been permitted to roam at large, have usurped the rights of the citizens and have spoiled the supply for table use. Hoffman recommended that the citizens using the water build a house around the t-pring. Thomas Owen of the Health Board said health conditions were frightful in the neighborhood of Douglas and Bishop streets, as the result of pumping sewage out across an open lot during the time a new sewer is being erected. On his motion it was decided to confer with the service director and take steps to have a temporary sewer constructed to carry off the waste On motion of Owen that the sec tion of the health code prohibiting the sale of ice cream cones and hokey-pokey on the streets was suspended for 1913. The rule was suspended during 1912.

Ijivery Smell. Attorney Frank Rockwell and Homer Jackson appeared before the board on behalf of H. Jackson Sons, High street liveryman, against whose place of business complaints had been made to the health board. Thomas Owen, chairman of the sanitary committee, said he had visited the livery bao. three times within as many weeks and that it was as sanitary as it could possibly be made.

E. J. Alderfer complained to the board about the odors from the barn and wanted it abated as nuisance. The board 0. the re-, port and gave Jackson a clean "bill of health." Of the 103 deaths recorded by Health Officer Kohler, 14 were due to violence during June.

Eight deaths among infants were from causes due primarily to the intense heat. There were three suicides and eleven accidental deaths. There were 227 births. The Fifth Ward led the list with 54 while the Sixth Ward ranked last with 14. There were 37 cases of contagious diseases as against 50 for June in 1912.

Twenty cases of diphtheria were reported. Only one case of typhoid was reported during the whole month as against none in June of 1912. Four deaths resulted from contagious disease. Dairy and Food Inspector Force's report for June showed that he had been extremely busy in inspecting restaurants, meat shops and bakeries. He reported 46 canines rounded up by the dog catcher during the month Only eight were redeemed.

Bell 'Phone People's 'Phone 2186 2472 Makers Compelled to Complete Draft by End of Another Week. Recall Once More Up to Cause Discussion Six Per Cent a Point. It will cost $451.88 to print the new charter and put it in the hands of. the voters. According to estimates furnished the Charter commission Thursday night by Secretary Fritch It will cost $215 to print the charter in booklet form of 32 pages 6 by 9 inches.

For 36 pages it will cost $262. The cost of stamped wrappers for mailing will be $176.88, based on 16,600, which is about the number that will be mailed, according to the registration books. The cost of wrapping, addressing, sealing and delivering to the postoffice will be about $60. The secretary was ordered to contract for the work at those figures. The work of framing the charter must be finished next week, as the printers claim that if it is placed In their hands by Juiy 14 they will have it ready by July 23.

That will then give one week for sealing and delivering so they will be in the hands of the voters by August 2, 30 days before the primaries, as required by law. No action was taken on the franchise proposal. After considerable discussion it was referred back to the special committee to which was added Members Rogers and Beery and City Solicitor Taylor. They will hold a meeting Saturday morning to revise the amended draft proposed Thursday evening. Several objections were brought out In the discussion.

One of the objections raised by Judge Rogers was that six months or the time to a regular election, if any distance, should not be allowed to elapse before submitting the franchise ordinance to a referendum. He suggested that Council be allowed to fix the date for a special election. Another objection was the requiring of the applicant for a franchise to pay the expenses of a special election, if the franchise carried. The cost of an election in the city is said to be about $5,000, which would be an expensive proposition, where the revenue derived by applicant might be small. It would also have a tendency to stifle competition, it was claimed.

The recall proposal was brought up again by Judge Rogers, who was not present Wednesday evening. He stated that wanted to go on record as favoring 20 per cent, as the required number of signatures to the recall petition. He was allowed to make a motion to that effect and after a little discussion the proposal was amended to read 20 per cent, instead of 25 per cent. A vote taken on the motion resulted in 7 to 3 for it. Members Beery, Bowman, Loeb, Maag, Olin, Rogers and Zesiger voted Members Gauthler, Kirn and O'Neil voted "nay." Rules of construction were added to the recall by Beery.

They provide that "the recall petition with the required number of signatures thereon verified by adffidavit, shall be prima-facie, presumed to be suffi cient." fr-sil On account of next Tuesday being circus day in the city and some of the members would want to recall boy- nooa days and go, adjournment was taken until Monaay night. July 4, 25 years ago, was marked by a wonderful celebration in Akron and vicinity. At Lakeside park, de- spue ine iaci tnat mere were no street cars running to that point, that those who came were compelled to go by train every half hour, by walking, or carriages, thousands met at Summit lake to witness the celebration planned weeks ahead. Hun dreds of soldiers, veterans of the Civil war, participated in a sham battle, the like of which has never since been reproduced. Patriotism was high Flags were floated, drums rolled brazen trumpets called.

Orators waxed eloquent. The night was il luminated by fireworks never seen before in this section. The celebration lasted all day and far into the night. L. L.

Marvin was master of ceremonies. B. F. Vincent, now a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, prayed; J. W.

O'Neall was orator of the day. At 3 o'clock Independence Day, a great sham battle took place hich lasted until 5 o'clock. At that time naval battles took place between the Ironclads "Monitor and Merri-mac." Captain Allyn commanded the Monitor and Captain Tannyhill the Merrimac. (Scene 1) Approach of monster "Merrimac." Consternation among the boats. The broadside.

(2) "Monitor" steams in sight. A 60-pound "messenger" overreaches mark. "Let us blow that little Yankee cheese box out of the water." (3) Maneuvering for advance. "Run the saucy Yankee down." "Merrimac" withdraws for repairs. "Monitor" follows in wake.

(4) Close quarters. Terrific broadsides. "Merrimac" struck, and begins to fill with water. Crew mans pumps. With a parting shot "Monitor" knocks the flag from the "Merrimac." "Merrimac" sinks.

At 6 o'clock Japanese day fireworks held the attention of the great crowd. Bombs were hurled high In the air and upon opening, paper birds, elephants, and dragons floated down. Splendid illuminations took place at 8 o'clock, at a cost of many hundreds of dollar. The park was brilliantly lighted. Mammoth balloons were sent up.

Marine fireworks was one of the prominent features of the evening. It was at a late hour that the crowds began to go home, despite the bad rainstorm which came up, drenching everything and everybody. It was one of the most successful Fourth of July celebrations ever witnessed la Akron, BIG CELEBRATION THIS CITY 25 YEARS AGO TODAY Chicago, July 8. Estimate on wheat was rather bearish Thursday, although the average speculator stood ready to make a change from either the bull to the bear side, or vice versa, at. double-quick time.

From conditions surrounding the wheat market at the moment it may be called a weather affair, and price changes will be governed by either dry or wet weather. When the primary receipts are posted on Monday they are likely to astonish the bears, as well as the bulls. While the Fourth of July holidays are alwaye observed In the United States, there are many farmers who have made deliveries of wheat, and this grain will find Its way to the primary points in time to be counted on Monday next. It is expected that the receipts will soon surpass anything ever known in this country, as old wheat is moving freely, and with the new grain added to it, will make the movement of enormous preparations. A great deal has been said during the past few days relative to the taking of freight room for wheat at the Seaboard and Gulf ports, and the fact that this room has been chartered, has caused quite a ripple in the ranks of the professionals.

These speculators have made up their minds that the outward movement to foreign countries is to be on a large scale. The real condition, however, surrounding theBe charters Bulgarians Recalcitrant, Yet Plucky Little Nation Must Submit. FINANCIAL OUTLOOK IS MUCH IMPROVED Weakest Condition Exists Between America and France. Paris, July 3. The opinion pre vails here Thursday night in diplo matic circles that notwithstanding the fighting between Bulgaria, Servla and Greece, peace will be effected in the Balkans within a few days and that all parties will submit to arbitration.

The only point arousing discission now Is whether the Czar will be the sole arbitrator or whether the Balkan states will place their dif ferencea before the ambassadors at London. Most of the Macedonian territory claimed by the three foreign Balkan allies was, until a few days ago, occupied by the Greek and Servian armies, "Beati Poesldentes" being still the main article of faith in the modern diplomacy of Bulgaria, previous to submitting to the Czar's arbitration and with a view to prejudicing the verdict, the Bulgarians are attempting to Beize all of the territory. The Servians and Greeks are simply kicking the Bulgarians back to their former line of outposts and so it is believed the Bulgarians will see the folly of the attempt and agree to arbitration. Money Market Steady. This sentiment and the excellent technical situation of the market explains the steadiness shown on the Bourse here, for what with the Balkan situation, the weakness in Russian stocks and the strike in South Africa, everything would point to lower prices.

However, no new French issues will be made until the Autumn, when considerable money will have accumulated, some of this of course will go into the old and seasoned suretiea, but much will be left for investment in new issues. Although increasing attention is being given to American shares, it is not felt here that any additional French money will be put into those stocks for some time to come. Frenchmen have discounted the recent recession in the American market as being brought about by the revision of the tariff and domestic policies, but before any more French francs are sent to America in search of bargains, the manner in which the big companies weather the present monetary conditions will be carefully noted. The situation is perhaps critical for American concerns which have relied extensively on France to absorb their bonds. The French investor now feels that if the American corporations "can paddle their own canoe" for the next three or four months, the fullest con-(Mence in Yankee sureties will be A.
