All litre And All Sit an EIGHTH YEAR, NO. 84. BISHOP WILLIAMS DECLINES D. 11. R. DIRECTORSHIP IS OFFERED OFFICE BY PRESIDENT HUTCHINS, BUT 4 REPUDIATES INTERVIEW WHICH PROMPTS OFFICIAL'S LETTER. Bishop Charles D. Williams, of tho Episcopal diocese of Michigan, bus been offered a place in the directorate of the Detroit United railway by Pres ident Jere C. Hutchins, uud is begged to accept the office with the company. The offer is made to bishop Wil liams by Mr. Hutchins in u letter prompted by the announcement of tfte bishop that he intends to take an ac tive part in civic affairs, among them Us setttlement of tho street railwuy problem, and for which purpose Bish op Williams has established a down town office. President Hutchins’ letter Is as fol lows: Jan. 6, 1908. Rt. Charles D. Williams, No. 608 Woodward-ave., Detroit, MW-h. My Dear Btr—Observing in tho public press the commendable interest you are taking lu some of the sorious problems confronting us. 1 write to ask. if you may not be tnctured to nrrrpt a ptnee lu the diFeew«rate **f tive Detrwtt United railway. Your influence as a high ehurchman. working on the inside with us. could doubtless be exerted for the prop*T conservation of the Interests of all parties com erned In making litis suggestion, let me assure you that in my pew as a layman. 1 am as deeply deal rows Chat hue whtoh 4s right skull prevail as are you yourself in your robes as a prince of the church. It would be pleasing. Indeed. If you would consent to contribute some of the blood and Iron requlrt-d to ereet and maintain such an institution as the Detroit United railway. During my connection of some 15 years In a purely tlduelury capacity with this Institution, 1 have seen it grow from something less than 100 miles, mainly of horse railways, to its present great proportions, and within those years 1 have witnessed, in its production, the vast expenditure of nearly 110,000.000. I quite earnestly agree with you that partislan polities should play no part in sueii affairs, and 1 as earnestly believe that the power ■of the government, neither on account of partislan politics nor for any other reason, should be disiionestly used, as is done, to injure and hundicap such a property. 1 would stand with you In the belief that the course or our gov ernment in all of its relations shouJd be absolutely above reproach. An ex amination of the public records would show you that no such course has been pursued toward us. Some ten years ago, wtien there seemed to be a sentiment favoring it, I was associated as one of three commissioners with, the late Gov, Pln gree to bring about public ownership of these properties. The result is a matter of history. Since that time the 100 miles of that day haVe grown into some 800 miles now. and these lines of railway, which were then confined principally to the wards of Detroit, nave stretched forth into the territory surrounding Detroit until they now reach and serve as many as 100 and cities, and a population embracing one-thtrd of att ttre people of Michigan. These lines, with their synchronised power houses and their 2.000 cars, are operated as one unit in Intimate rela tion* with All of these towns and all of these people., The problem, there fore, in this connection, which you wuiild be called upon to aid Jn solving. Is un infinitely more difficult problem now than It was ten years ago. I also stood with the mayor of De troit last year far the introduction of Industrial rates of fare much beliTW" those in effect—distance of ride con sidered—-In any city in the world. But these propositions were hardly consid ered upon their merits as economic questions, but were swallowed up in the currents and whirlpools of par tisan politics. I could not promise you, should you be on our board, to suppart all of your views. 1 have not been able to support all of the views of my present asso ciates, some of whom were opposed to me In the two Instances cited above. Nor could I Indorse the course ..you mention of the mayor of another city •Ih provoking the active “enmity of every man In his city worth as much as 150.000.” In my belief the man with $50,000 Invested In a factory, or In a stock of merchandise, or In any other lawful way, Is as much entitled to con sideration as Is his possibly more for tunate, but possibly poorer, brother. But I can assure you that in the capacity of a director every detail of the company’* business, In all of Its ramifications, would come under your observation, and in such a position, like my own. would he ex erted In a fiduciary capacity and some what os that of an umpire between the people a’hose investments you would guard and those who patronise the cars. T Should vou be able to advise me of your willingness to art In such a capacity. I will gladly nominate you and will do everything In my poWet to make your calling and election sure. Yours very truly. J. C. HUTCHINS. Bishop Williams rather takes the ro mance out of President Hutchins’ of fer. To The Times the bishop stated Monday that In the Interview which prompted Mr. Hutchins’ letter he was made to say many things he did not »ay. “I am afraid,” declared Bishop Wil liams. “that I will have to decline the offer and suggest that the place be given to the Evening News*' Reporter Who wrote the Interview. Very little of what appeared in the article was said by me. I discussed pending civic affairs generally, but not In particular, locally. lam more familiar with con ditions In'other cities than I am with those in Detroit, for I have not been a resident long enough here to famil iarise myself with your problems to a point where I would undertake to set tle them or take an active part In their settlement The directorship the De troit United Railway offers me should go to the reporter. SMOKE ORDINANCE BEING ENFORCED The Oreat Lakes Engineering works was charged in the recorder’s court, Monday, with violating the smoke or dinance at Its Orleana-st. plant. It developed, however, that the company has recently spent $6,000 in experi menting with a smoke consuming de vice at its Ecorse plant and told the court that if the .experiment proved a success the same device would be Installed In the Detroit plant. The company asked for two weeks’ time, which was readily granted by Judge Phelan. A smoke case against the D. U.* R. was put over for a similar I period at the request of the corpora tion counsel.

Jan. 6.—A plea for higher pay in the army is contained in the annual report of Secretary of War Taft, who believes that there must be increased remuneration to prevent decrease in efficiency. Tlie adoption by the arihy of the naval system, whereby the Is authorized to fix the rates of pay within defined limits is recommended, as is also the creation of a general service corps to relieve the soldiers In the vast amount of distinctly non military work they are now called upon to perform. Secretary Taft has decided to cre ate one of the new regimental posts at Baguio, in the Philippines, and asks for an appropriation for that purpose. He also favors the enlargement of Fort McKinley reservation near Ma nila by 600 acres, at a cost of $185,- 000. and The construction of an elec tric railway from Camp Overton to the north shore of Mludano to Camp Kelthley on Lanao lake, in the middle of the More country. The secretary urges on congress the needs of the military department, which it has been paying but scam, attention. In his report. Secretary Taft says that at the date of the last reports re ceived from the military departments (Get. lb. 1907 J, the actual strength of the United States army was 2,750 of ficers and 50,190 enlisted men, a total of 53.940, distributed as fallows: In the United States, a total of 34,262; Alaska, 1,022: Philippines, 12.779; Porto Kieo, 9; Cuba. 4,4 58; Hawaii, 208; troops en route and offi«*ers at other foreign stations, 1.202. The distribu tion among the different branches of the service, giving total of officers and men. was as follows: Staff corps and departments. 2,919; engineers, 1,26*); cavalry. 1 1,554; field artillery. 3,042; coast artillery corps, 10,022; infantry, 21,513; miscellaneous, 3.608. These figures show a net decrease of the regular army during the fiscal year, of 4,425. The figures do not Include 3.400 men of the hospital corps, who, under act of March 1, 1887, are not to be counted as part of the enlisted strength of the regular army. There were also In the service 24 officers and 572 enll*t»Kl men of the I*orto lllco reg iment and 116 officers and 4.346 enlisted (Cuatluurd os Sarmtli Page.) muncTcl are —NOW RUNNING MUNCIE. lnd~ Jan. 6.—With the city under martial law, all local and interurban cars are running today. Crowds were kept from congregating by the state troops and police. There was no violence up to noon. The general belief is that the back bone of the strike is broken and in a few days the local officers will be able to control the situation. DOESENIiBCE CASE AJJMMER A'sensational hearing Is promised when the divorce case of Retta vs. Frank A. Dolsen comes to trial. Mrs. Dolscn applied to Judge Brooke Mon day morning for alimony, and the hus band, through his attorney. Frank A. Bumps, protested vigorously against paying her a cent In a lengthy affidavit the husband alleges that his wife left his home at Duluth, where his duties with the United States River and Harbor ser vice kept him. and came to Detroit to reside. He claims that he sent her $75 per month for the keep of herself and his young daughter by another wife. He sa>« that recently he was notified by neighbors of his wife that she was abusing his daughter, and he hurried to Detroit to Investigate. He Rays he finds that she was spending his money having a good time, that she played the races continually, and made his 15- year-old daughter carry her bets to the pool room. The husband also makes much more serious charges against his wife. Mrs. Dolsen recently had her hus band’s wages tied up by Injunction, but the injunction was dissolved, and he was ordered to pay her $6 per week. Mrs. Dolesen had demanded SIOO per month. The case will be brought to trial in 90 days. BROZO WANTS CITY TO OWN BIG HALL ”1 do not believe that the proposed new convention hail and auditorium should be owned by private parties and operated for their profit exclusive ly,” declares Aid. Brozo, chairman of the council committee on public build ings. ”1 want to see a big municipal audi torium holding 6,000 people where the best class of shows can appear and be seen by the working men for a quar ter. At present those shows go to tho Detroit Opera house alone, and pr’ces in a place of that sire must be high. But In a place where the crowd would be three tlm.es the size of the Detroit’s rapacity, the price cOuld be very low and the profits as great.” STANDARD OIL HEARING DELAYED A LITTLE NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—The hearing in the case of the United States gov ernment versus the Standard Oil C0.,- which was to be resumed this morn ing. was adjourned till 2 p. m.

Two records were set In the sale of $250,000 of public school bonds by the city controller Monday morn ing. While the average price was the lowest received for Detroit bonds in many years, the city still has the distinction of being the only one in the United States to sell municipal bonds beariug interest as low as 3 1-2 per cent at par within a year. "It is true that the price Is uot as high as has been realized heretofore," said Controller Doremus, "but the fact remains that we were able to sell 3 1-2 per cent bonds without having to let them go below par. The dty of New York was unable to sell bonds at 4 per cent and had to raise to 4 1-2 per cent and then dispose of the bonds at private sale.” The good price realized was made possible by the purchase of most of tile issue, all but $41,000, by the sink ing fund commission. Beside keeping tl MnKVil 1 glppp SHBs\ 1/ —ls I s 4 V, i I i—,-WCs -a I T l r 'Jr i' Ml -ZoflHa If up the price of city bonds and the city’s credit, the purchase nets the sinking fund a profit, as the money so invested had been held in a bank at 2 per cent Interest, and a gain of 1 1-2 per cent is realized by the purchase Matthew Finn, a bond broker, con tests the right of the sinking fiind to buy city bonds except for the purpose of retiring them. The controller thinks differently and will contest, as the commission has already purchased $381,000 of city and county bonds witlv out protest. R. M. Connor, an attorney, was pres ent and demanded that the bid of the sinking fund commission be read twice. The allotment of thd Issue fol lows: William Wallace Weir, seven bonds. $7,210; Mrs. Lena Frank, throe bonds, $3,030; Helen D. Meyers, one bond, $1,010; William Beals, 10 bonds, $lO.- 000; estate of John Pridgeon. 1.0 bonds, $10,000; First National bank, Lapeer, Mich., 10 bonds, $10,000; De troit city sinking fund commission. 209 bonds, $209,000. A number of bond brokers, who had not bid, were present.-at the meeting. If. the sinking fund bid should be thrown out, there would probably be a chance for the bond buyers to get the securities at a low price on re advertisement. OLEO SELLER BEGS FORJERCY Alonzo A. Hart Is fighting desperate ly the reopening of three cases against j him for violating the oleomargarine, laws, on which he might receive a| prison sentence. He lias filed an affidavit in which he alleges that he ]>aid $6,700 in five other cases as fines and costs to settle the cases in which he might draw impris onment. lie claims that he pleaded nolle contendre and gave up his case after nn agreement had been reached that he was not to be prosecuted further. In support of his allegations, he quotes his former attorneys, Edwin Henderson and Alex. J. Groesbeck. It is understood by the federal officials, however, that the lawyers will go Into court Tuesday and that their state ments will not support Hart. Conflicting affidavits are fifed in the Hart case by District Attorney Frank Watson, David Meglnnlty, internal rev enue collector and Col. W. H. H. Bow en, revenue agent. All three deny that the government ever coin promis ed the cases or agreed to drop them for a sum of money or that the nolie prosslng of the cases Nov. 15 was due to the payment. Judge Swan will hear the testimony Tuesday. Suppressed suits for divorce were filed Monday rrierning by Charles vs. Mabel Hyde and Maud vs." Frank Barr ela. Itnslacaa-llkr PrtaHns.

It looked like fr*'*- lunch time in the mayor’s office Monday noon when the mayor held a session with committees of wholesale and retail bakers on the new bread ordinance. I The arguments of the big bakers prevailed and Mayor Thompson will sign the new ordinance permitting bakers to make loaves of any size pro viding they stamp the weight on tho loaf. leaves of bread of sample siies were piled upon the mayoral table and tho arguments were punctuated with thumps on the staff of life. Alfred Wolff, of the West Side linkers’ asso ciation. led the fight against the or dinance. He showed by samples that bread can be puffed up to make a light loaf look bigger than a heavy one. The light bread, he claimed, is unhealthy. Hlb argument was that the bakers, now, being limited to one and two-pound loaves, have less Incentive to make their bread apparently larger, as the public cannot be fooled. The arguments of Messrs. Gordon. Morton and Wagner prevailed over Wolff and L. M. Humphrey, who sup ported him, and the mayor announced that he would approve the ordinance. SAYS SUGAR TRUST HAS DEFRAUOED GOVERNMENT U. 8.

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.—There was 8 rensaiion at the outset of the second trial of Harry K. Thaw for the murder of Stanford White today, when 100 members of the special panel of 300 talesmen, drawn for the Thaw Jury were summarily dismissed by Jnstict Dowling. The names of these 100 men were published in several newspapers, last week. A number est them complained thereafter of being hounded by county detectives, who visited their hornet and places of business, looking u| their ivcords and connections. Theii J| complaints reached the ears of Jus tice Dowling, who held that, rather than run the risk of a mis-t rial, or mis carriage of justice through anything which might have resulted from the publication of these names, the entlrt 100 men had better be excused from service. _ This left a panel of 200 men on which the attorneys for the prosed* tiou and defense began to draw a Jury*s when the case was called today. There was some delay at the outset and It was not until 11:37 that thuring the trial of this case, none but the members of the prisoner’s fam ily and representatives of the press will be allowed in the court room,’* announced Justice Dowling. The seats In the Thaw row being occupied by prospective jurore, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and her relatives were forced to sit Just inside the door leading from Clerk Penny's office. Jerome went into a long argument regarding the selection of the jury and the subject of challenging. It was finally agreed that after the Jury box was filled and either aide had any peremptory challenges left, they might exercise the right to call out an undesirab'e member. Mr. Littleton criticised the term of subjecting the juries to close confine ment, bat. Justice Dowling rated us neither side would be affected by the rule, It would be enforced. First Talesman a Decorator, William F. Sillier, a decorator, 4ft years old, of St. Marks-pl., waa called as the first talesman at 11:66 a. m. He said that he knew Stanford White, and the district attorney went after him. “Do you know any member of the defendant’s family?” asked Jerome. “Yes. r met Mrs. Thaw, as a cus tomer at Wanamaker's,” replied Mil ler. Miller said he was acquainted with Warner Bax ton, engineer of the Mad ison Square garden tourer, who is one (CoiiUim4 m Sixth Pat*).

HAM K.tfTl Rl.028,542,1 2 disbursements, $4,665494.59, anil cash on hand Dec. 31, $3,571,129.55. 'Phe city’s banks report a remarkably good year. Some of the older banks have paid an extra dividend. The fact that the financial institutions arc back on a cash basis, as before the flurry, is evidence of their soundness. The city’s remarkable growth is reflected in the report of the register of deeds. During the year 26,833 deeds, mortgages, etc., were placed on reeord v ,an increase of more than i/xdq over 1006 *v. 7 The importance of Detroit as an export-market has been tardily recognized. This class of busi ness is carried on quietly, without local advertising or other evidence to attract general attention and its volume and extent are but imperfectly realized even by those firms and individuals who are reap ing its benefits. Yet no other branch of trade of the same proportions brings such large and lasting benefits to the community as w ett as to thf manufacturer. There is ho dull season in the export trade! Always the demand is active and the supply inade quate. The billions of the earth’s inhabitants must be fed and clothed, housed and warmed, amused and decorated, their resources developed and their crops increased and harvested. While American farms lie fallow under winter snows the great ranches of Argentine, South Africa and Australia arc in the midst of their activites; when they are planting, we an- harvesting, while in tho tropics all seasons arc as one. And so the exporter has no slack seasons and hard times have no terrors tor him. The manufacturers of the United States are just awaking as a class to the enormous possibilities of the export trade and beginning to make intelligent efforts to increase it. Recognizing the grow ing demand for a foreign outlet for American goods and believing that the middle west is the proper field for the development of their enterprise, the firm of F. R. Moore Cos., which has recently es tablished its headquarters in Detroit, has perfected an organization with facilities said to be superior to those of any other firm engaged in a similar line of trade in the United States. In connection with the business the company ha,s established a Technical Translation Bureau, the necessity- for which grew out of a demand for catalogs and other commercial literature properly pre pared and written in good Spanish. The bureau is in charge of men born and educated in Spanish countries and thoroughly familiar with conditions both at home and abroad, and Moore Cos. have established temporary offices at No. 23 Charlotte-ive.

The establishment of M. V. Brown Sons, steel and copper plate engravers and steel die embossers, 82 Con gress-st. east, hus just added to Its already flue equipment anew Roth embossing machine of the latest pattern. In fact, it is the first of its kind to be Installed in the United States, and will add greatly to the efficiency of the plant. The reputation of this Arm for high-class work is national and steadily increasing with u trade extending all over the country. The firm now employs 20 expert workmen and looks forward to an exceptionally prosperous year. The National Film Company, 100 Grlswold-st., Detroit, of which Mr. Phil. Glelchm&n is the enterprising and successful manager, is entering upon what promises to be a satisfactifTy year. Considering that this enterprise ha* only been established Bince last June and that its business has already extended throughout Michigan, Ohio and other central states, and has taken its place among the leading film renting concerns of the country, argues well for its future.
