MUST HAVE ADDITIONAL FUNDS 2VND NEW BUILDINGS. A campaign has been started by the Alumni of Gedarville College to interest members in the work of as­ sisting to increase the endowment of the college, Dr. j . Alvin Orr of Pittsburg, Fn., ia chairman of pub­ licity and has made an appeal to the members of the Alumni fo r .support. The time haa come when the col­ lege must have additional endow­ ment. It must also have new build­ ings with greater capacity to carry on the work. The necessity of increas­ ed endowment is to place the insti­ tution within the requirements of the State Association of Colleges, ,an en­ dowment of $200,000 being required to got recognition. The college authorities have plan- 4 ned a campaign to be put on in the near future* Dr. Orr in his communication sends each a copy of the minutes of the last Alumni meeting. The associa­ tion has set $100,000 as its objective for the endowment fund and challen­ ges the .Reformed Presbyterian de­ nomination and the .community ag­ round Cedarville to raise an equal a- mount for buildings and equipment. The college is greatly in need of additional buildings,. A science hall is required for the work of the col­ lege students. A girls' dormitory is a necessity in the modern schqol and the absence of such is keeping many girls from attending Cedarville col-' lege. A new gymnasium is also need­ ed; one with more modem require­ ments and large enough to meet the growing needs- of the institution. It is planned, now to /convert the present Alford gym into a modern science hall which can be done withr out great cost. The dormitory for . girls and the gymnasium would be built on the college campus. I t is es­ timated th a t $100,000 will be requir­ ed fo r the building fund. V The.time has come when Cedar­ ville and community must do some­ thing substantial on a large scale for the college if it is to continue here. For .the second time an offer has come, from .Dayton to move this institution to that city. A site has been offered with a 40 acre campus and buildings. The ^advantages of a city like Dayton fo r a college are many owing to a very extensive territory ndt, touched by immediate colleges that has ac­ cess by steam and traction,roads. Few people* know anything About the sacrifice Dr, McChesney and .mem­ bers of the faculty have made to re­ m ain with this institution in Cedar­ ville. The turning point has been reached and the situation is to be put spuarely before the people for action. Dr. McChesney naturally is loath to see the college leaveCedarville but the-institution must~Tmve additional endowment to remain in the Associa­ tion of Colleges. Otherwise is becomes an acadamy or junior college, . Those who have children to edu­ cate cannot afford to see the college leave this community]) . With many families the removal means that their children cannot have the advantage of a college education owing to the cost. To those who have no children and have the means it should appeal to you to lend assistance in keeping an institution here that has had much to do with increasing of land and realestate values. With the additional funds and new buildings, Dr. McChesney pledges his lifework for Cedarville College and the education of young men and women. We had better all make up our mind to support this movement in a very liberal way than too wish we had ofter the institution is closed and gone.

Delegations were pre­ sent from neighboring towns. Some weeks ago the Collins Brothers de­ feated the Brill boys a t the rink in Xenia. The game was a tie and this was played, off with the local boys winning. The second game was ar­ ranged with Collins Bros., who were the winners again by a close score of 28 to 29. The game was close and a t >ne time Brill boys Were 8 points in the lead. Both teams are evenly matched and put on a good clean, game. . MIDNIGHT TRAIN STOPPED.

I t is said the. tongue was build it bo that it will be xept, up in the years to comewithout any cost to the land. Others .ard op­ posed largely to the cost which is estimated a t $31,000 a mile for a bi- Cumonus road, something new for this county. The state has announ­ ced that no more water bound ma­ cadam roads will be built. Under a special tax law something like $70,000 is laying in the state state treasu ry , that was collected from Greene county taxpayers for road purposes. This cannot be used only as the state sees fit. A few of the land owners want the jounty and townships to build the road1on the plea that it can be built much cheaper than the state will ouild it. It is said that the automo­ bile money and some other road money cannot be used for road ouilding, only-for repair. By this the county and trustees have no avail­ able funds this year. The only recourse then is to issue bonds running five or ten years and assess the cost on the'land for one half mile on each side of the, road. There are others who are absolutely opposed'to issuing bonds . for road purposes on the ground that the.road will be worn out before the' debt is paid. ■ The estimated cost under the plan for the comity and trustees of plac­ ing 10 tons of rock on the present grade to the rod is around $60,000. This would not even be a# genuine water bound macadam and we find a few who say they want a better road than that. When a road built un­ der this plan wears out another as­ sessment can. be placed on the land. The state assessment can only bo 10 per cent, the county and township plan 20 per cent' on the acerfige basis. Gjffid&la and ' land miners agree that $31,000 a mile is an extremely high estimate. According to the way contracts are selling ju st now the officials say i t would be much less A few land owners are fo r any kind of an improemveht tha t will be per­ manent and permit but one assess­ ment on the land. They are opposed lo continuous assessments and never nave any road other than the year it is new, • i ' The commisioners have taken the view th a t as the county has $70,000 to its credit, more than what the tax­ payers haytv^paid in under the redis­ tribution pirn, the state should build the pike in justice to the general tax payers. This section of the county would get some benefit of this money. If it is not used on this road it goes to Fairfield and Dayton and Spring- field traffic will benefit. TRUSTEES FAVOR STATE ROAD The trustees of Cedarville, Ross and Silvercreek townships, nine in number met here Wednesday night lo go over the Jamestown pike im­ provement. After considerable dis­ cussion a vote was taken and all nine trustees voted for a state highway and opposed to* a joint county and township road. The opposition was based on belief that the county could not build a road that would save the taxpayers or landowners any money and tha t for the county and town­ ships to issue bonds the road would be worn out before the bonds could be paid off. It was decided to get into commun­ ication with Commisioner Perrill and he was called by phone, Mr, Perriil stated that after investigation the road would be turned over to the state highway department and the papers had been forwarded to Col­ umbus, This meant that the three townships would be relieved of the upkeep of an expensive road and would leave funds each year for other roads in each township. HOW DO THEY GET'M STARTED? Local friends of W. R.' Torrence, Xenia, formerly of this place, were having a nice time during the week­ end congratulating among themsel­ ves that he had gone west to become the, husband of a. well known Greene county woman who has been in the west. Just how the story started is not known yet it went for all it was worth here where both of the suppos­ ed participants are known. I t so hap­ pened that Mr. Torrence was not out of Xenia and friehds have been just as busy undoing the report as they were to give i t attention. AND THIS FROM CLARKE. Clark county prloonors ; crying jail sentences will be required to work on the county highways keeping them in repair according to the plans of Prosecutor Donald Kirpatrick, jerked from Frank’s hands- and the wheels veered the wagon around over ugaiiist the door-jam pinning the driver. Her neck was broken, jaw bone split, chest crushed and both enr^ terribly lacerated. He brother Frank witnessed the horrible death' of his sister. Dr. J. O. Stewart was called but aid was useless as the girl died almost instantly. The deceased was born near James­ town but has lived east of this place no.it of her life; She is the daughter of J. W. Glass, a wellknown farmer, and is survived by three brothers and three sisters; George W., and Frank, and Elmer of Springfield, and three sisters, Mrs. Raleigty Davids of Bowersvjlle and Daisy and Grace at home. , The deceased was a member of the Church of Christ a t Gladstone and the funeral was held, yesterday from the home, burial taking place a t James­ town. ASK GOVERNOR TO REMOVE CLARK COUNTY SHERIFF. Clark county citizens, particularly Springfielder’s, place all the blame of the recent riot on Sheriff Jones and Mayor Wescott, City Manager Parsons and the police in hot taking the situation in hand a t the start. ' It is charged that the Sheriff, who is the highest officer in the county, abdicated in favor of City Manager Parsons, who was made a deputy sheriff and had full charge of the sit­ uation. It is said that the mayor and city manager with a detatchment of po­ lice visited the South Yellow Springs street section where rioting was tak­ ing place and made a poor attempt -to dispel the mob. t a j& t J& o jgqb gave notice to the officers tha t it was running the south end of ■town and as proof that it means business the guns were fired on the official party, police and all. A hasty retreat back to city hall was taken while the mob •ontinued roiting. The citizens openly condemn the officials for inefficiency for not securing reinforcements and cleaning up the situation before it became unmanageable and state troups had to be called. Governor Davis has promised an in­ vestigation but Under the law has no power to remove a sheriff, this be­ ing up to the common pleas court. The cost to the city for state troups was $1,600 a day. THE THIRD RIOT. The third riot in Springfield since. March 6, 1904 took place last Thurs­ day, March 10. The first was the re­ sult of a colored man killing a po­ liceman, Charles Collins. The negro was lynched and hung from a tele­ phone in the center of the city and the Washington street levee burned. On March 7 and 8, 1906 the second roit occured when a railroad brake- man named Davis was shot by a,ne­ gro named Dean. At that time prop­ erty on East Columbia street occu­ pied by the lower element of the col­ ored race was burned. • This time the shooting of Officer Ryan, who .was attempting to diarm a negro, added to the trouble start­ ed when a 11 year old girl was1as­ saulted in a vacant house by a negro. The situation is greatly deplored by the better element of the colored race as well as the whites. OOP bail.
