during 1912. Livery Smell, Attorney Frank Rockwell and 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, byurt the master plumbers are renone quired to obtain a license. Two horses afflicted with heaves and distemper are putting the supply 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 few weeks, two horses, which have been permitted to roam at large, have usurped the rights of the citizens and have spoiled supply for table use. Hoffman recommended that the citizens using the water build a house around the spring. 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 section health code prohibiting the sale of ice cream cones and hokeypokey on the streets was suspended for 1913. The rule suspended 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 barn three times within as many weeks and that it was as sanitary as it could possibly be made. Alderfer complained to board about the odors from the barn and wanted it abated as nuisance.

The board 0. the report and gave Jackson a clean "bill of 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 Twenty cases of diphtheria were reported. Only one case of whole month as none in June typhoid was reported, during the 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 by the dog catcher during the month. Only eight were redeemed. COUNTRY'S FIRST AUTO PATROL AT PANAMA EXPO'TN Made and Used in This City -Product of Frank Loomis. Akron will have an exhibit at the Panama Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. Akron is going to the old original electric police patrol wagon the exposition, according to Police Captain Guillet.

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. machine was fished out 'agatne put into use none the worse for its rough handling. Compared to modern cars, the old original "horseless patrol" looks like relic from a former age.

It has and inch wooden wheels with his small solid rubber tires. The motive power is supplied 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. TO MARRY MISS JESSIE WILSON Francis Sayre Admits He Admires His Prospective Father-in-Law New York, July Bows Sayre, fiance of Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, daughter of the President, found himself Thursday to be in the glare of the limelight. a Sayre clerk since, last complaint October has 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 his acquaintance with Miss Wilson, the romance of it all and points about his career. "I'm really not much of a 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 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 settlement work," he went had socials studied it deeply and I had, too, both in my college days 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 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 I do Mr. Roosevelt. Yes, I like Mr. Wilson more." And a luminious smile spread over Mr. Sayre's face.

NEW OFFICER'S FIRST ARREST Fred Nelson, youthful policeman, 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.

S.A.Heer 51 AND 53 So. HOWARD ST. COST $451.88 TO CIRCULATE CITY CHARTER 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 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 16,500, 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 a 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 July 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 and City Solicitor Taylor. They will added Members Rogers and Beery 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 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 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 "aye." Members Gauthier, 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 affidavit, shall be prima-facie, presumed to be sufficient." On account of next Tuesday being circus day in the city and some of the members would want to recall boyhood days and go, adjournment was taken until Monday night. BIG CELEBRATION IN THIS CITY 25 YEARS AGO TODAY July years ago, was marked by a wonderful celebration in Akron and vicinity.

At Lakeside park, despite fact that there were no street cars running to that point, that those who came were compelled go by train every half hour, by walking, or carriages, thousands met at Summit lake to witness the celebration planned weeks ahead. Hundreds 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 illuminated 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 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 which lasted until 5 o'clock. At that time naval battles took place between the Ironclads "Monitor and Merrimac." Captain 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 dollars. 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 rainstorm which came up, drenching everything and everybody. It was one of the most successful Fourth of July celebrations ever witnessed in Akron, Wheat is Bearish With Weather Predominating Taking of Freight Room at Gulf Ports Causes Quite a Ripple in the Ranks of the ProfessionalsProfit Taking Sales in Oats. RE Chicago, July 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 always 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 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 these charters PEACE IN EAST PROBABLE AND MONEY IS EASY Bulgarians Recalcitrant, Yet Plucky Little Nation Must Submit. FINANCIAL OUTLOOK IS MUCH IMPROVED Weakest Condition Exists Between America and France. Paris, July opinion prevails here Thursday night in diplomatic circles that notwithstanding the fighting between Bulgaria, Servia 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 discussion now is whether the Czar will be the sole arbitrator or whether the Balkan states will place their differences 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 Possidentes" being still the main article of faith in ti 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 seize 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 sureties, but much will be left 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 conf dence in Yankee sureties will be w. rranted. A.

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 wheat 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 synipathy with lard.
