Sterling Feige, 35, carpenter, 33i Gold street, mam bound over to the common pleas Monday by Mayor Sawyer in police court on a charge of non-support, His bond waa fixed at 11,000. He was committed In default.

Felge, through his attorney, II. C. Sanford, waived prelimi nary, examination. Mayor Sawyer remarked this was the most flagrant case of its kind be had ever heard of In his police court experience. He said Mrs.

Feige had been complaining to him of her husutand'tf treatment for the past three months, almost constantly. According to the woman's story, she is in a weak condition, yet has been compelled to sleep in a cow-stable most of the summer because her husband forced her out of their home and provided no place for her elsewhere: On one occasion, siw said, her husband forced her out of their home and; made her tay all night en the doorstep, although that night there was a frost. The couple have several children. The mayor says Mrs. Feige has complained of her husband for many months, but during the past three months ehe has been in to see him constantly about her ill treatment at her husband's hands and telling harrowirng stories of what Fefcre makes her put up with.

Conviction on the charge of non-support In common pleas court will rende Feige liable to penitentiary sentence.

He spoke for 28 minutes and repeated the arguments which have been set forth again and again at the water works meetings. He aid thought the chamber of commerce erred when It decided to endorse the purchase of the old" plant for $850,000.

George Carmichael told me that it was not worth $750,000," he Mr. Kasch then proceeded to deny several things ke had said before and said he favored the purchase of the old plant if a reasonable figure could be obtained. "I never said I was against, the purchase of the old plant, as the Beacon Journal editor said. The company has lowered Its prjre three, times, and If the proper sure was brought to bear, a still fuirther reduction might be brought arjoju, ne. saia.

'Because the report of Professor Bemis did I not suit his purpose he cast it aside' with the statement that the. data obtained as an, estimate of what a new plant would cost. He said that the: books of the company were padded, but admitted that Bemis discovered this and deducted it. He. then told of his inquiries Into the -valve of the company's bonds which he carried on with Assistant City-Solicitor He also quoted, "the.

valuation set by Engineer Chapin many years- ago and said that the price should be based upon Jfe then Introduced Councilman "Creorge Jackson, who explained the; system Springfield. but as IU A. Myera said later 'he forgot to tellfwhat this perfect system cost. Mr. Jackson gave a little data about the number of pipes of different sizes.

The time was then consumed except a few minutes, and this was added to the rebuttal time. The advocates of the purchase 'of the old lant then' took the floor and stated the attitude of the chamber of commerce" board of directors. PUItCBfASB SUPPORTERS. The first speaker was A. II.

Noah, "If all the arguments for the building of a new. plant have been given, it will require but little time to answer them," he said. He told of the efforts of the chamber to arrive at the true yalue and how experts had been called In to appraise the plant. He said that the object of the chamber of commerce was not to dicker in buying the plant, it was to secure the best thing for Akron. He said that it was finally decided that the plant was worth $850,000.

"The main argument in favor of buying the present plant is that the city will have a working plant from the start, and it can be made the nulcleus for a new system. It will jpay dividends from the start, and take care of the interest on the bonds. The object Is to retain the water supply. R. A.

Myers, president of the city council, was the next speaker and his speech was one of the best of the evening. He called attention to several mis-statements made by Gus Kasch and called upon men in the audience to prove that he was correct. THE BONDED INDEBTEDNESS. "It takes money to get water and when we discuss this question, it is well that we look at the limitations of our bonded indebtedness. Wc can't charge our rate of taxation without an act rrom tne state legis lature and Governor Harmon has repeatecuy mat ne win veto any measure wuicu lutresso ids rate.

"They say wo have no foundation upon which to base our calculations of the value ot the old plant. We have It right here" he said, pointing to a copy of Pfofessor Bemis' report which he held In his hand. "We have the information right here. Bemis tells what improvements should be made and bow to pay for them. That is something which the people on the other side forgot to tell us." 110 saia mat ins puxcnaao or me 'old Tlant.

MAYOR SAW VER VXRY, EARNEST Mayor Sawyer when called -upon, made one of the trong- est speeches in favor of buy Ing the present plant. "When I came this morning' I expected to hear some good reasons why the old plant should not be pur chased but from what have beard to-nignt can say tha-t I will vote against the bond i-sue to build a new plant. I would warrant me in changing my opinions." "The voters want reasons and facta and they have not been given them, There are several reason why this proposition should not be proved. If these bonds are issued and nr inma rMinn nannl ln not like the way the affairs are run at tho city hall they can refuse to furnish any more money and wa. can continue to use brine and salt water for years to come.

'It will take more time to build a new plant and what we want Is immediate should con slder the opinion of the directors of the chamber of commerce. They are unanimous on this proposition. These men are among our most buck ceseful business men. They are men of brains because they would not have the money they hav unless) they knew about their businesa affairs." He closed with a little compliment to Ous Kasch. "I admire tho fight ing spirit of Kasch.

He comes hers and faces a body which Is three fourths against him. But that mam would fight a bear aa large as a mountain with nothing larger than) an ordinary stove poker." IlOOKWEIJk ELOQUENT. The speech of Prosecuting Attor. ncy Frank J. Rockwell in rebuttal'.

was the best offered by the afflrma, tlve and was full of ginger. Hot eald he was opposed to the purchaser of the old plant because he thought it worthless. the city gets a new supply tne pumping static!) will be no use because it Is not near at hand." He said he waa not will ing to allow the chamber of com merce directors do hie thinking for him. "I do not think the old plant Is any good. The water is not good and there is not enough of it." llm.

claimed the 'vMd plant won 11 coit than the ptihasa price becausejit would hav to be reconstructed. Attorney A. J. Rowley, In rebuttal for the supporters of the old plant, aroused the ire of Mr. Redo-well by saylng that he was not candidate for office and was fore in a position, to state his real opinions.

Rockwell asked for a chance to answer' but this was denied him because it was held he did not ask to speak on a question of personal privilege. Rowley was, willing to take the opinion of Engineer Schulu and ha believed the purchase of the present plant at $850,000 was a bargain. F. A. Selberllng put up one of the best arguments of the evening for the purchase of the old plant.

Ills arguments -were clean cut and clear and contained' nothing that did not carry conviction. "The water worka company has no friends In this city except their attorneys and Mr. Eat- tn and I am not so sure about Latta. We do not want to buy this plant because we don't like the company. We have-been getting poor service and we all have a grudge against the company.

But this Is a cold busmess proposition and we want to do the best we can for the city. He said that every result which would be achieved by a new plant would be obtained If the old ens was purchased and the results would come much sooner. He said that the argument put forward by Gug Kasch about the rubber men tearing down the old plants and putting up new and comparing it to the water situation was absolutely weak. He said that they put up larger and higher buildings because they were limited as to space and were forced to utilize the land. The city is not in that position, he said, because Its water system is spread out over a large space.

The meeting then took a vote or! the question and only a scattering: few voted in favor of the new plant, the actual count being 28 to 247. It was a large job to count tho opponents of the proposition. When) these men Were being counted some) one yelled: "Let's make it unanl moua. NOTICE TO THE PCRUO Drs.
