Atty, Charles A. Spielman, Republican candidate for state representative, was born in Niles, O., near President Wm. McKinley's birthplace; attended country schools, worked as a day-laorer on a farm, as a molder in a foundry and as a machinist. Refused a raise in pay. PETER H. BURKE Atty. Chas. A. Spicelman. from fifty cents a day, by the manager of a machine shop in Niles, he quit the job, hopped a freight-train and came to Cleveland, paying for his transportation by removing a cinder from the eye of a brakeman. Here he obtained employment in a machine shop at $2 a day and attended night school. He was passed an examination for city fireman, serving in that capacity for eighteen years. While thus employed, he studied law at the fire-station under preceptors from Western Reserve University. Resigning from the department in 1912 to attend college, he was presented with a gold watch by associate members of the department which he carries her cherished this Day. His酥平师 attended the Southern University, Cleveland and Cinchnati law schools; enjoyed a summer term at Wisconsin University and studied international law for one year at Columbia University under the Hon. John Bassett Moore. He practiced law in this city, being associated at times with the late Judge John J. Sullivan Attys, Ruel A. Lang, W. J. Woolf, W. L. Eastman, Jude Woolf, L. Eastman and the Hon. Wm. R. Pringle, the酥平师 has also helped to support and educate three needy children. He is a member of the Masonic Order, Cleveland Bar Association, Tippecanee and Western Reserve Republican clubs. From the foregoing the reader will gain sufficient knowledge that will enable him to enjoy many years and his career as a youth and to enable them to realize at once that he will make an ideal candidate for membership in the Ohio Legislature. All his life he has been close to the masses of the people and therefore is familiar with their needs and desires. Such a person makes the best kind of a representative in a legislative body of any kind here, this paper demonstrates, his hesitation commits him in the strongest position to the favorable considerations of law.

This was one of our regiments that distinguished by the valor of the men in the Argonne. The flag of the regiment was decorated with the French Croix De Guerre, and the officers and men highly praised by their French commanders for their gallantry in action. Seven men and three women were arrested, last Saturday, at Rufus Jones', E. 87th St., and a vandao of furniture, including two locked safes, was carried away. One of the ten was John Hoge, age 31, of Starr Ave., a brother of Frank Hoge, former bondman and also reputed to be one of the "Big Four" policy operators. Hoge, with the others, was released on $200 personal bail. Raiders said Jones, also reputed to be one of the "Big Four", was absent, and told he was "willing in the country." They seized the safes, filing cabinets and two adding machines and ordered everything taken to police headquarters. Evidence that the raided headquarters had connections outside Cleveland was seen, police said.

J.—"Gorilla" Jones, of Akron, O., middleweight champion, has abruptly halted the upward climb of Young Terry, "Trenton Buzz-saw." Terry carried the fight to the champion throughout their 12-round title bout, Tuesday night, only to lose the decision on points. Jones had to rally briskly in the last three rounds to keep his title safe. Terry had a margin of five rounds to three after the ninth but the champion turned on the steam to win the tenth, eleventh and twelfth, and with them the decision. Terry was the aggressor throughout the furious fight but turned back hard and beat the depth. Terry was piled up in the early rounds dwindled as Jones doubled him up time and again in the ninth, tenth and eleventh rounds with hard rights to the midsection. A Pollard Breaks the "Line." St. Louis, Mo.—More than 25 years ago John W. Pollard "baggaged" his children, including Fritz, Leslie, Luther and John, whom you've learned to know through their ability as athletes, and left the state of Missouri because he couldn't stand so much color-discrimination. Since that time Missouri has known of the Pollards only through the press; they have all been great athletes. But Friday and Saturday, Apr. 15 and 16, "32, a second generation of the John W. Pollards returned here to humiliate the sons of the prejudiced whites who forced his parents to go north. This lad is young Fred Pollard, son of Fritz, former grid star at Brown university, and his glitter on this occasion centered around his great work on the cinder-path of Maplewood stadium. On Friday, Pollard, representing Senn high school of Chicago, set a new track record in the 140-yard low hurdles. Over the distance in 15.4 seconds, then Pollard he came back to win the event, he is for first in the pole vault and equal the distance of several others for second place in the high jump. He was high-point man with plenty of distance separating his perch from that of his nearest competitor. Breaks Barrier Pollard was the only athlete representing Senn in the events, and his coming blotted a barrier against our athletes competing here that had stood long enough to be considered almost a law. Binga Dismond had a chance to come here, but stayed away at the request of his coaches; Sol Butler came, but was advised against competing, while Ink Williams, Duke football and Paul Robeson were all refused the chance to play professional football on this city's prejudiced soil. But the young Pollard was different, or did he make it so? Anyway he stole the whole show glory, and attention of the fans. He was the "it" of the biggest meet held in this state which once upon a time proved entirely to "illy-white" for his grandfather. --- NEURALGIA, COLDS Whenever you have some nagging ache or pain, take some tablets of Bayer Aspirin.
