All Here And All Clean EIGHTH YEAR, NO. ioo. MERRIAM SHOWS I UP GLfZIER'S DEWS IN REPORT ON INVESTIGATION INTO EX-STATE TREASURER’S AFFAIRS, TRIES TO PROVE GROUND FOR CRIMINAL ACTION 1 (From a Special Correspondent.) LANSING, Mich., Jan. 24,—The state treasury was locked up at 10 o'elook this morning and sealed by D. D. Altken, of Flint, and Geo. B. Horton, appointed by Gov. War ner for that purpose. The treas ury will remain closed until Mon day, when the cash and accounts will be checked up. It will be Tuesday, or later, before the de partment la turned over to the new treasurer, ex-Gov. John T. Rich. In the meantime no money Is be ing received, or paid out. Attorney Seward L. Merrlam, of De troit, lawyer for Gov. Warner in the removal proceedings against Glazier, says ih big report to the governor con cerning his investigation of Glazier's affairs: "In bearing on the question as to whether Mr, Glazier absolutely knew In the latter part of the year of 1907 that he was not only insolvent, but that his bank was in danger by reason of bis own actions and conduct during the period that he was continuing to deposit large sums of money belonging to the state In his bank, without any effort on bis part to protect the state or to secure to the state a return of its funds, I call your attention to the man ner in which he handled certain col lateral which he afterwards placed in the bank. "The Chelsea Stove Cos. had for some years a capital of $300,000; later this capitalization was increased to the sum of $600,000. all common stock. On April 2, 1907, Glazier filed, as required by law, with the secretary of state, a certificate signed by him as president, and as one of the directors of the Chelsea Stove Cos., in reference to said increase. “This certificate setß forth that the total amount of common stock, includ ing the increase subscribed, is $937, 000; that the total amount of prefer red stock subscribed is $429,560 —the total amount of the preferred stock is $600,000; the balance, $1,000,000 is common stock. “He further certifies to the follow ing: That the total amount of common stock, including such increase, actual ly paid In, is the sum of $937,000, of which $937,000 of the increase has been paid in cash, and no dollars have been paid in other property; that the amount of preferred stock actually paid In Is the sum of $429,560, of which $429,660 of said Increase has be-n paid In cash. Payment Uncertain. "Glgsler Immediately took nearly all of the preferred stock issued In nis own name I ran find nothing to show that, In fact, it was actually paid Yor in cash as he represented. He took, as well, a large portion of the *o,a mon stock. On iu«j b. n "i« of this re;> resentatlon he was enabled u> use this stock as collateral for the procurement of funds for his own benefit In various banking institutions In this state, to say nothing of his own bank. "The records of the Stove company, on page 5? of the minute book, show that on March 22, 1907, he had nis daughter, Vera Glazier, move to In crease the capita] stock of the stove company from $600,000 to $1,500,000. and a resolution was passed calling for a special meeting on April 2 for that purpose. "The meeting was duly held, Stlmp son, his relatives and friends being present and voting for the increase. On the same day they passed a res olution that the stock should only be (UstliMd Etefftl Page). GRANT HEADS LAKES DEPT. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Gen.

With a feliow employe, Ernest Cook, of No. 1616 Helen-ave., Bonner was at work on a switch point near the barns when u westbound Harper car ap ptoached. Bonner stood in the middle of the track, directly in the path of the moving car, and Cook, who stood at one side, advised him to step out of the way. "Oh, I’ve got plenty of time,’’ Bon ner Is said to have replied. "They’ll have to stop for air, anyway.” But the car did not stop, and be fore Bonnet could step out of the way It had struck him. He fell on the fend er, and the car, Instead of keeping to the maintrack, turned itno the open switch on which a construction car was standing. Before the motorman could bring it to u full slop, the fend ers of the two cars came together and the Jolt dislodged a pair of emergency trucks that hung on the front of the construction car. The trucks fell on Bonner, crushing him frightfully. Bonner was carried into the shop and died within live minutes. An em ploye was Just setting off to notify his wife when he caught sight of her on an eastbound car that had just drawn up at the barns. She was on her way downtown. Coroner Parker investigated the case and will probably hold an inquest to determine the responsibility for the accident. Besides his widow’, Bonner leaves one daughter, a student in the Eastern High school.

My money wras go ing fast and I had to do something, so I went to the Griswold house and registered under the name of Wheel er, thinking if U came to the worst, l could get work In the hotel and pay for my board in that way. But I didn’t want my friends to know I had been obliged to take up housework, and that is why I chose another name. “At that time I expected money, but It did not come, and all the while my board bill was running up at the rate of $2.50 a day. After I had been there a few days I went to the Ste. Claire and from there wrote Mr. Postal, of sering to work out by board bill. It had become so large that I hesitated about speaking to him personally; sol left without saying a word about the bill. My arrest followed soon after." Miss Phillips’ mother and step father live on a farm near Alma. Mich. She has not lived with them for some years, however, having been obliged to earn her own living since she left school, she says. Miss Phillips told the police that she has a girl friend with money in Lansing and believes that the latter would help her out of her present trouble, if requested to do so. Miss Phillips will prqbably be given an opportunity to communicate with her friend.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—A drop of 30 degrees In temperature to 14 above zero, bringing with it a blinding north west snowstorm, plunged New York into all the rigors and suffering of a genuine, old-fashioned winter, today.

Many were picked tip more dead than alive in the streets and had to be resus citated in the hospitals and thousands suffered hardship on the lower eaat and west sides. The storm demoralized traffic in Manhattan and cut off whole districts In Broooklyn aud the outlying sec tions altogether.

TRANSFERRED HIS DISTORTED EGO Tfl EVELYN NOTED PHYSICIAN’S THEORY OF THAW’S EXPLOBIVENEBS—DE LAYED STEAMER CAUBES AD JOURNMENT OF TRIAL. NEW YORK. Jan. 24.—The Thaw trial was stopped today, because the storm bound steamship Adriatic, which Is bringing important witnesses for the defense from abroad, bad not yet reached her dock, and Martin Little ton announced that he was unable to proceed. There are three physicians and a nurse from London, Paris and Rome on the steamship. Mr. Littleton ex pected to call these witnesses today, and on Monday call Dr. Bingham, who has been ill in Pittsburg. Their testimony is necessary to build a foundation for the hypothetical ques tion to be asked the alienists. District Attorney Jerome acquiesced in the adjournment till Monday, after a conference with Littleton. Attorney Littleton, on the opening of the Thaw trial thlH morning, ad» dressed the court thus; "I Intend to offer the evidence of the persons delayed by the non-ar rival of the steamship Adriatic, and the testimony of Dr. Bingham, of Pitts burg, on Monday. This, 1 believe, will close my direct case." Jerome asked that he be given the names of the witnesses who are to ar rive on the Adriatic. Mr. Littleton said he wanted to be fair and would play the game fair throughout. Ho objected to the privilege of names of his witnesses to the district attorney and of having them met at the dock and subjected to annoyance. 1 “I have known of people being seized and taken to the office of the district attorney by officers of Mr. Jer ome,” said Mr. Littleton.' “There they have been subjected to examination. Consequently. I do not propose to let him examine my witnesses before I have an opportunity to talk to them. I suggest that as soon as the wit nesses are here I will communicate to the district attorney their names and addresses.” “That gives me no opportunity to cable,” Interjected Jerome. “That shows he wants to meet them at the dock.” declared Thaw’s chief counsel. Jerome tlapa Back. "I want to cable to Europe to find out If they are shysters, charlatans or if they ara men of reliability," de -1 dared Jerome. 1 “Will the district attorney give mfi the names of his witnesses whom he (CoillsbH ox Elrvrath Pact). MIRIM WORRIES SELF SICK HER CHARGES ALTHOUGH COMPLETELY EXON ERATED, PARK DEPARTMENT SECRETARY IS BROKEN DOWN AS RESULT OP BTRAIN. M. P. Hurlbut, secretary of the park and boulevard department, has been 111 for a week. While his acute Ill ness is due to grip, it is said In his office that the real cause of his break; down is the strain he was under while the council was investigating charges made against him and his department. Hurlbut has been secretary of the park department for years. He haa always been a hard worker and rug ged. But the charges which were brought out as a result of the opposi tion of ftld. McClellan and Mayor Thompson to an increase in the fare for Belle Isle phaetons worked upon him greatly. He succeeded in proving his state ments and was fully exonerated by the council in a report which bore severe ly upon those who had criticised him. But since that time Mr. Hurlbut has been under the care of a physician. He was able to come down to the city hall for a few minutes Friday morn ing. coming in a closed auto.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—When the correspondence in the Rrownson-Rlxey controversy wa? laid before the house in compliance with the Gill resolution, it became evident why President Roosevelt has been holding on for dear life to Brownaon’s letter of pro test against putting a doctor in com mand of a hospital ship. There were mauy broad smiles over the following passages from the let ter: A hospital ship is a sea-going %’esset having a large hospital on board. There is nothing In the training of a medical officer to fit him to command a sea-going vessel. Telegraph operators. or cable engineers are not put In command of cable ships, nor are postmasters put in command of mail steamers. A battleship can with propriety be called a floating fort, hut artil lery officers are not fitted for the command of them. Amazement succeeded the smiles when, included in the correspondence, was found a letter by Surgeon General Rixey, dated Jan. 22. This was in re ply to Admiral Brownsott’s letter of protest to the president, sent more than four weeks ago. Members of the house who noted this fact were inter ested in figuring out how a letter writ ten at this late date came to be in cluded In official correspondence which is supposed to have been closed al most a month ago, and it is probable that the secretary of the navy will be called upon to explain. The GUI resolution’s principal ob ject was to force the president to make public a letter which Admiral Brownson directed to him, protesting avainat his determination to place Dr. Rixey in command of the relief ships. Included in ihis correspondence is Rear Admiral Brownaon’s side of his controversy with Surgeon General Rixey. Rear Admirab Brownson’s reply is largely leveled at the decision of At torney General Bonaparte, who was secretary of the navv in 1906- that a surgeon may command a hospital ship. After Bonaparte sustained Rixey, the controversy raged for several weeks, as is shown by the reports of boards In the volumes sent to congress. Bon aparte decided as follows: "That a hospital ship, when in com mission, should be treated as a float ing hospital and as such placed in command of a medical officer, her nav igation being controlled by a compet ent sailing master." Brownson, referring specifically to Bonaparte's decisions, says: "Whether it is a hospital ship or not, it Is sea-going vessel and in order to accompany the fleet to fulfill the purpose for which It is designed, it must be navigated and handled in the same seaman-like manner which ta required of all vessels to secure safety on the high seas."

Chief of Detectives McDonnell ad mitted. Friday morning, that Percy Boyne, alias Bowln, brought to Detroit by Detective John Downey from Wood ville. Ont., a few days ago, is held on suspicion of being the murderer of Mrs. Cornelia Welch, who was found, with feet and hands tied, in her home at No. 78 Congress-st. east, Jan. 7. Chief McDonnell says that suspicion is very strong against Boyne, and his arrest has caused the police to return to their first theory that Mrs. Welch was murdered on the Friday night pre ceding the finding of her body. Jamoa Elliott, a saloonkeeper In tho neigh borhood, declared positively that ho had seen Mrs. Welch and had talked with her as late as Monday afternoon. Capt. McDonnell declares this was im possible, and wholly discredits the story. "Boyne has admitted." said the cap tain, "that he was in Mrs. Welch's place Friday night and that he left about midnight. We can produce a witness who will swear that she heard Mrs. Welch moaning at 3 o’clock Sat urday morning and can show by the milkman, the ice man and a dozen oth ers that they tried to get In Saturday and Monday and could not get any answer to their knocks. "Up to this time, we have learned. Boyne had been living on free lunches and borrowing small sums of money here and there from anybody who would let him have it, for he had lost his Job at Williams Bros.’ pickle fac tory some time before. Saturday morning, however, the day after his visit to Mrs. Welch’s, he had plenty of money; enough, at least, to buy a rail road ticket home and have plenty of change left. When he was arrested in Woodyllle he was wearing good clothe* and seemed quite prosperous. "He gave us tha name of a man who, he said, had given him the money. We went to considerable trouble and expense to locate that man and h* denies giving Boyne any money. So, you see, we caught him in a lie. We have found out a good deal more about this man. but that la all I am at liberty to disclose Just uow. My men are still at work oil the case and new developments are like ly at a&y time."

Among the worst Injured la George Horton, chief of the fire department The loss caused by the flames la esti mated at more than $500,000. At Holliday and building occupied by the J. Regeetar Sons Cos., plumbers' supplies, the fire started on the third floor and fanned by the fierce gale from the northwest, was soon beyond control. Long before there was any thought of danger the center of the building had been so weakened that the wall on the Saratoga-st. side fell out, bury ing in its ruins the Ice-coated firemen who were plying their apparatus be low. The Dead: LIEUT. FREDERICK HARMAN. WM. B. HUGH. JAMES BARROCK. AUGUBT BCHRIVER. JOHN SLEED.

When the crackling sound of the collapsing wall was heard above the roar of the flames, Chief Horton at once shouted an alarm and those of bis men who could eorang for shelter. Almost all of them, however, were too late and they went down badly crush ed by the shower of bricks. Other tenants of the burned build ing besides the Regester firm were the Baltimore Bell ft Brace Cos., which Is also a heavy loser; Flynn and En rich. machinists; E. B.

JANUARY 34. 1908. BURY INITIATIVE IN CON-CON OV 2 VOTES; FLEISCHHAUER SUBSTITUTE FOR HEMANS PROPOSAL PERMITS 67 LEGISLATORS TO MAKE DUM MIES OF 100,OCO ELECTORS (From a Spec al Correspondent.) LANSING, Mich., Jan. 24. —Corpor- ate greed and political bossism com bined, yesterday dominated the con stitutional convention and practically nnd to all intents and purposes killed the initiative proposal. The will ot' the people has been Ignored and again it is demonstrated that they are deem ed “too ignorant" to have a voice In the government of this great state of Michigan. The Hemans proposal, on second reading, was emasculated by two votes. The substitute passed Is con sidered worse than the present law covering the initialing of amendments. Whereas the old section provides thai amendments to the constitution may lu» submitted'to the electors on a two thirds vote of each house of the leg islature, the new section gives the right to the legislature to say w hether an amendment, petitioned for by about 100,000 voters, can go to the people and a petition is required to have nearly that number before a proposed amendment can even be considered. The emasculated proposal says that 20 per cent of the electors of Mlcn i lgan can Initiate an amendment to the i constitution, but it cannot be submit ted to a popular vote if a majority ;»f the legislature, on joint ballot, decides that it shall not be submitted. In fact, this means that while almost 100,000 electors may petition for an amendment to the constitution, 6* members of the legislature can refuse to submit it. The big question was taken up late In the afternoon and when every one of the 96 delegates was present. The opposition apparently had marked up their men, knew to a nicety that they had the majority and could therefore force the result under gag rule. As It was second reading, this plan could be carried out with telling effect. As to the Firet Section. The first section, which simply re adopts section 1 of article 20, of the present constitution, for amendments to the constitution by a two-Thlrds ma jority of both Houses, of course passed j without protest. The real fight began on the new I section to be added, which contains I the initiative principle. Before this i started, a bar of the convention was ordered and every delegate brought Ito his sc it. As soon as »he presi- I dent announced the second section J under consideration, Delegate Fleisob hauer took tne floor and offered a sub stitute for the Usmans' proposal as I arreed to in committee of the whole. He then said that he did not intend to make a speech, but as there seem ed no chance for the two factions to get together^.he believed that this of fered "the best hopes for ratification by the people. A “i.emon M to the People. I —Delegate —Pratt jumped -to b+e —feet and declared that the substitute would not do, and that this was not in any sense a compromise measure, but only expressed the Ideas of the opposition. Then he added in sharp, cutting tones: “You are simply holding out a lem on to the people. They can spend their money to put through an amend ment. the legislature tan say 'we won't’ and the people are left Delegate Gore Raid ne did not dealt? to go Into the merits of the matter, as they had already been well aired, but he believed that this substitute was common ground whereon the dele gates should meet. "Common ground. snorted Heald, “yes, there is a common ground, but this Is ail your ground and kills the v«»ry principle for which we are con tending.

The opposition began to apply the gag law. W. E.

The gag was re moved when Russell offered a substi tute to reinstate the initiative prin ciple, but this was voted down by 4» to 47, the two factions holding solid ly. The opposition became scared and immediately put the gag rule on again, forcing through the whole proposition —a monument to the people’s dis trust. Charges Against’ Fairlie. Severe charges were made against Delegate Fairlie, who is a professor iu the stale university, in that he ap peared to act at first with the reform ers. but “flopped” at the last minute The following delegates were class ed a9 pledged workers for the initia tive principles C.

STUFF IRRITATES THROAT AND NOSTRILS AND MICROBES GET BUSY, EXPLAINS DR. E. B. SMITH —EPIDEMIC ON NOW. '‘Beware of the winter dust if you would avoid the grip," says ‘Dr. K. U. Smith, commenting on the prevalence of the dreaded ailment in Detroit just now. “There is no question that the dust being blown about the streets these days is partly responsible for the epi demic, M continued the doctor. “It gets into ones throat and nostrils and sets up an irritation. Then, if one is not in good physical condition, one fallb an easy victim to the grip microbe. "What we need is more dust pans— good, old-fashioned dust pans. .n* sead of sweeping the dust into the streets to be blown about, housemaids and janitors should collect the sweep ings in a pan and burn them up. This is the sanitary way. "However, a healthy man or woman has not much to fear from the dust. People w’ho shut themselves in stuffy rooms until they are all run down are the ones that need to look out" There is nothing particularly alarm ing about the present grip epidemic. It is not nearly as serious as it has been in former yeurs, but grip is bad enough at any time, doctors say, be cause it not infrequently is the fore runner of pneumonia and is sometimes the primary cause of heart disease. More than one death from heart trouble this winter can be traced di rectly to an attack of the grip. It is a good thing to stear clear of, say the doctors. SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF GRADUATES PUPILS I IIS The Detroit School for the Deaf graduated its first pupil, who had tak en its course from the earliest grade, Thursday. The former pupils, as well as the other two in Thursday's class, have had the advantage of tuition from private teachers, or in other schools, but Francis Haaen Holbrook Is the product of the school exclusive ly. Young .Holbrook read an essay on “The Merchant of Venice," written by himself from material gathered large ly in the theaters, of which he Is a regular attendant. He expects to en ter the high school and take the full course. Lillies Gordon Hogle and Stephen C. Martin were the other graduates. All the pupils of the school took part in the exercises. The en tire program was an illustration of the system of training in use, which is directed to teaching the children that their deficiency in hearing does not bar them from the ordinary pur suits of life. Miss Gertrude Van Ades tlne is the principal of the school. LITERARY POLICEMAN GIVES REPORT ON FIRE The cause of the Are was a Boy droped a Match In Sum rubbish that tuck fire no Damage. The above is an extract from a ro port submitted by a police officer on a fire in the down-town district. There has been worse specimens, but these are comparatively rare. DYSPEPSIA-PROOF. How Any Meal Can Be Thoroughly Enjoyed By Any Stomach. Men, as a rule, are first discovered by their enemies. Their antagonists turn on the searchlight, and the proof of merit will lie in being able to stand the flash. It was only in this way that Mr. White ever knew that dyspepsia was one of Mr. Black’s worst enemies. Sit ting face to face at a two-by-four table, he handed his afflicted friend the bill of fare: Oyster Cocktail. Staffed Olives. Boston Clam Chowder. Strained Oumbo. Sirloin Steak with Mushrooms. Roast Beef Hash. Boiled Ox Tail with Sauerkraut Lobster ala Newburg. Baked Pork and Beans. Combination Crab Salad. Hot Mince Pie. Pineapple Fritters. Mr. White ordered a 'Tittle of each." Mr. Dyspepsia Black ordered crackers and a glass of milk. "I had such a big breakfast this morning,” he eaid, "that I'll just take a bite to keep you company.” But Mr. White could not be deceived; ’T am afraid you can’t stand the gleam. Mr. Black. Why don’t you say you have dyspepsia and be done with it? You’ll always have that hungry look anyhow as long aa you have dyspepsia. Now listen. My stom-j nch was In just as bad condition aa yours at one time. But now I can eat anything, at any time. For instance, this clam chowder or sirloin ateak or even the lobster would be just as wel come to my stomach as your crackers and milk. You don't realise how this dyspepsia business Is robbing you of your spirit, of your energy and ability to think quickly. I can’t help notice it You haven’t the cheer and sociability you bad three months ago. Now I’ll tell you what to do,” and thereat the cheerful Mr. White took a vial from Ms pocket and extracted a wee tablet. "There, there is a tablet that contains an ingredient, one grain of which di gests 3.000 grains of food. For even the worst dyspeptic It’s the only thing that really gives relief. The reason is It relieves the stomach of nearly all the work It has to do, digests every thing in the stomach and stimulates the gastric Juice. I can’t get along without them. They are Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets. You can get them any where on earth for 50c a package.” Yes, it ls true, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets absolutely stop heartburn, nausea.

Lani Deal Results lv Lawsuit. and Wellington Hibbard have failed to carry out an agreement entered into in 1901. Frank H. Black man, an insurance man, has begun suit in the circuit court for 16.000 against the men named. Blackman says he purchased from them a one tenth interest in 1,000 acres of land in Marion county, Arkansas, paying them, $3,000. He says they agreed that if he had not sold the land at the end of three years, they would return the money with 5 per cent Interest. He did not sell an acre, Blackman says, but when he asked for the money back, he did not get It. Discussing Philanthropy. The Heldelberger Tageblat In an ac count of the Interview between the Grand Duchess Louise and Nathan Straus says: “The grand duchess had long known of the work of the Amer ican philanthropist and had followed it with great interest. How deep this interest Is may be judged from the fact that she spent one and one-quarter hours with Mr. Straus discussing pas tenrlcatlon and Its results. The grand duchess expressed her sorrow because of the great mortality among children and said it was necessary to combat the condition with all available meas ures. Aided by the wife of Minister Han sell and the privy modteal coun selor, Dr. Houser, she is employing the best scientific methods and seeking new ones to check the mortality, esp* dally among Infanta. The milk plant which Mr. Straus presented to the city of Karlsruhe is under her personal pro taction, because she hopes to see good results from the introduction of the Straus system. Mr. Straus was deep ly Impressed by the love and solici tude of the noble lady for her people and said that he could well understand why she and her house were so well beloved by the people of Baden."

EVER IF Yaw had NECK Aa long this follow aad had SORE GOVERNOR HUGHES! WEIGHED—FOUND WANTING By Alfred Henry Lewie. In the February issue of “Human Life,” “A Magazine About People,” Alfred Henry Lewie starts hie flret article on “Presidential Possibilities,” and he writes up Governor Hughee. He will follow with articles on Taft, Cannon, Cortelyou and others. Read the following extracts from Mr. Lewis’ caustic article on Governor Hughes in the February issue: This should illustrate my meaning—When Mr. Hughes was running for the Governorship, I chanced to be talking politics one evening with Mr. Roosevelt. "But you don’t mean to tell me.” exclaimed that vigorous chief magis trate, arching eyebrow of surprise at ray expressed coolness toward Mr. I Hughes, “that you regard Mr. Hughes as other than honest, able and in telligent.” “Let me tell you a story,” 1 said; "It should shed a ray. There was a careful farmer who owned a coop es priceless cochins. 'Some one.’ says tli© farmer, will steal these chickens if I don't watch out. I’ll buy a dog— an honest, able and intelligent dog.’ He bought the dog, installed him, and sought his downy couch, confident, satisfied and secure. That night every cochin was stolen. The farmer was amazed. There sat the dog—honest, able and intelligent. And yet that great coop-emptiuess never seemed to bother him u bit. The fanner couldn’t fathom it. His wonder abated, however, when, ii|K>n bark-tracking the miracle, he found that the party who stole the chickens was the party who sold him the dog.”

Before Mr. Hughes began to run for office he had hurst upon the public notice twlcy. The first time he conducted an investigation against the gas thieves that resulted in no good to the public, no harm to the thieves. Mr Hughes' second api»earanee was in connection with that insurance Inves tigation. still warm in the memories of men. It fell about in this way: Mr. Alexander and young Mr. Hyde got to fighting for possession of the Equitable. They succeeded, so to speak, In kicking each other out of bed, and Mr. Ryan got the bed. Also, they kicked the covers ofT the bed. and the inner vileness of the Equitable was disclosed to an onlooklng world. This latter situation didn't suit the card of Mr. Ryan, then in posses sion of the bed. The Ryan ownership of the Equitable was not .to transpire for some months; but the truth Is, he got possession before Messrs. Hyde and Alexander had been fighting a week. Mr. Ryan couldn't cover up the Equitable rottenness; affairs had gone too far. Whoreujion he resolved to do the next best thing, and uncover the rottenness of the Equitable's rivals.. The New York Life and the Mutual were as vile in their Internal man agement as was the Equitable. Mr. Ryan pushed a legislature button or two. and an “Investigation” was ordered. No; Mr. Ryan doesn’t own the Albany legislature, but he occasionally leases it for the season, and this wan one ol’ the seasons.

A pool match wm In progres* at an east side “parlor” The room chain pion, a friend of all, was one of the competitors, and he was naturally u hot favorite with the crowd that hemmed in the players. Every move he made was the sign of rlotoun ap proval or sorrowful condolence. Every shot of his opponent waa greeted with freßiled hoots. But the room champion was getting worsted In spite of It. The visitor kept clicking them off, quietly, dog gedly, accurately. The game came to an end with the visitor an easy win ner. The proprietor advanced and handed the victor a small roll of hills —the purse and the sum of the small side bet up on the match. The winner turned to the erowd and spoke for the first time. He waa well worth a look or two. A big man, dressed theatrically, with white vest and a big S2O gold piece dangling from his watch chain, and ha spoka to the point. •‘Gentlemen.” he said. “I came here tonight to play our friend, but I won’t necessarily atop there. Is there any body else in the house who would like to play me? Some of you were making a lot of noise a while ago, bold as lions, and saying I couldn't play pooL Now”—flashing a roll —“I'll play any of you, 150 to 100 balls for $25- __ No reply was made by the crowd. "I’ll play any of you ten or no count.” Still the crowd kept its peace. "Well, make It 15 or no count! No? Twenty-fire or no count, and that Is something better than a professional game!” Still there was no answer. Elaborately the gentleman pushed hl9 cue into his case, donned a high silk hat and departed. The man was “Prof.” Lou J. Laubscher,,. and the scene was typical of those that hap pen almost nightly in tome room In Detroit. Nor was the “professor” bluff log. Had anyone “called.” Laubscher would have come across with his coin, snd woe to the man whd gauged the visiting expert's ability on the per formance he had given in the match game! More often than not the first was only a clever "stall.” Laubscher has been In Detroit four years, and has set a record never be fore attained by any pool expert He has made the pool rooms of the city yield him snd his family a living, and a good one. all that time. Visiting experts come and go, but Laubscher sticks. And the big coin remains a conspicuous part of hit frontispiece. How does he do It? Well. Laubscher himself admits that It Is .as much a triumph of diplomacy as skill. Quite a number of men can b© found in Detroit who can say they have beaten Laubscher. Only a mighty few are there who can truth fully affirm they have beaten the "pro fessor” for the money. And he has met them all on their own tables and with their own rooters making the Tifters ring. Laubscher “stallt” Ip a large share of his matches. He has been known to “stall” twice to a man before the latter could be Induced to come through with a wager. And then Draw the curtain. “Let the heathen rage; I get the coin,” la Laubscher's motto. The trick of keeping the general public ateadfast In the belief that, at straight pool, Laubscher is only mediocre is the secret of the "pro fessor's” long stay in our midst But this is by no means the whole secret There are undoubtedly a num ber of outside experts who can beat Laubscher at straight pool. Right here in Detrott It Is a doubtful matter as to whether the “professor” has It on st least one player —Freddie Wood, of the Griswold house-chough Laub scher is willing to play the latter on a neutral table for the money at any time. It Is st fancy shots that Laub scher is locally in a class by himself. In fact, it is a doubtful matter if he has a superior In the world at that style of play. There la at present no fancy-shot pool champion, though Lew Shaw la generally conceded this title in bil liards. Shaw visited Detrott recently and claimed the title at both billiards and pool.

CHAPULTEPEC HORSEJF TUB NEW ORLEANS, Ju. 14.—While the running of the local darbies la still a long way off, yet their greatly in creased ralues orer the California events—they will be worth SIO,OOO each—lends a great deal of Interest to any performances In the S-yearold division that may have a beating on derby prospects. Among all the candidates that have so far been shown In public, Burlew A O’Neil’s Chapultepec stands out In the light as being In a class by him self. He Is an Ideal derby machine from the fact that he possesses such a great turn of speed that he will be able to go to the front and race hit field dltiy, the same aa the redoubt able Sysonby did In the big eastern events in which he started. Chapultepec, a much Improved colt over last summer’s form, Is the fast est and best race horse ever before seen In this section. OELIE PICK IN KNGELNO MORE Word comes from Brasil, Ind., that OIMe Pickering, the former Brownie outfielder, who goes to Washington thla season, also acted as an “anger’ for a theatrical company. But Pick ering Isn’t sn angel any more. Wben he had been stung to the tune of SI,OOO he decided that It was tltni to quit, and quit he did. OIHe has been backing the “Humpty Dumpty** company. It baa been a losing ven ture and Ollle refused to back It any Tdng#r. The company “busted” at Bftzll and the members itrcpeeded In getttng enough money together to get home. Baron Wilkes, 2:ls, has 64 produc ing sons, while 6* of fits daughters have shown standarand forfeit and challenged Shaw in his line for a healthy side bet. Shaw made no reply. iAubachor’s challenge to any expert In the world to a match at combined straight and fancy play has never been railed, and It Is doubtful if there la anyone who could do better than draw with him in these conditions. In one or two of the downtown pool rooms Laubscher has boen barred from play. Innocent patrons were In veigled to wager with him and lost their money. Also, In st least one case, the room proprietor took this ac tion after losing an average of SSO a week to Laubscher for something like a month. in the smaller rooms, the professor Is in great demand, however. The proprietors find that a match, follow-- od by a fancy-shot exhibition, booms trade. And perhaps the “professor” hasn’t the work of picking out opponents down to a nicety! Every match is recorded in his little dope book, and he has a circuit which he follows very closely, year after year. traveling man looked Laubscher up several weeks ago and unfolded a story of how he had been “taken” at pool to the tune of $36 out in a sub urban town. He wanted Laubscher to drop (n Incog sad get it back far him. Laubscher drew his dope book. "No use; I’m afraid.” said he. “He knows me. I got him for S6O a year ago last December, and took him for $25 more only a month ago. He swore he had enough of my game.” Pool is a business with Laubscher. He began it at the age of nine on a kitchen table, cushioned by home made upholstery, at his home in Cleve land. His fancy shooting is simply marvelous, but a detail of his feats in this line would be superfluous to local and state pool devotees and club men. In the meantime, local players nre still endeavoring to find out just how good the “professor” is at the straight game. He is promising some day to cut out the fancy business and give himself one whirl at the regular game against the best in the land. When he does, and not till then, are the local men likely to find the answer to the problem. PUG LEATHU ANION HAIM After vainly searching the city for George Leatham, the champion pugil ist of Nova Scotia, who recently suc cumbed to a knockout punch from Paul Lewis, the colored boxer of Wind sor, Jack Lesterr of Montreal, Leatham's sparring partner, has come to the conclusion that LeathAm may have made away with himself. Leatham was seen on the streets of Detroit for several days after his bout -with Lewis, but was brokenhearted over his defeat. The llneriM converse-' tion with which he was met was raturally of a type to Increase hts chagrin, and people who saw him last declare that he seemed fairly dement ed. The result of the battle was doub ly disappointing to Leatham. In view of the fact that he had but recently laid claim to the title of champion of Canada —an honor entirely out *of reach after the whipping by Lewis, who is also a Canadian, and whom Leatham rated very cheaply. "If George Is still alive,” says Les ter. “I want to get in touch with him. I have backing to get him another fight with Lewis, and I know I can make him beat the dlnge. I'm afr&ld he’s jumped into the river or else gone to work at his trade. In either case, he’s crasy.” Any information regarding Leatham’s whereabouts will be gladly received by Lester at the Crystal hotel, Ora tlot-ave. I INIk D4 M In for Ik IHbcnatia; fu On* of the funniest things that ever cam* off on a spring training trip was that which happened at New Orleans on* spring in the early nineties when Anson and the old Chicago team were training there. The hall grounds ad joined one of the old cemeteriee, where the graves are above ground. Anson was determined to win a pennant that year, and more than decided that his players should be in condition when they came north to start the season. The first afternoon at the ball park Anson kept the men practicing for two hours, and then.when they thought the day's stunt was about done, he ordered them all to follow him in a run around the park. He lined up all the players and. running at the head oof them, Indian file, started around the field, keeping near the fence to make the run as long as pos sible. Once around the lot they went, and on that trip Dahlen espied a hole in the center field fence leading to the old cemetery. On the next trip around Dahlen dived through the hole in the fence, with Ryan a close second. On the next round five more players made the dive, and on th* following round only Anson and the man Imme diately behind him kept on. The one behind Anson looked longingly at the gap in the fenc* and watched "Cap's" shoulders, and as they came to the gap the next time he hesitated and dived through. Anson, puffing and red, kept on, never looking back. Ayound he went, and was starting the next lap when he glanced behind, apparently missing the for Tt steps. Mad all the way through. Cap jog ged on, gating suspiciously at th* grandstand and inspecting the club house as he passed. Then, as he into canter field, he espied the hobs In the fence, and sticking his head Into the cemetery be saw IS ball playera leaning against tombs smoking cigarettes. And Just for that he sat on the bench and watched them grimly while kthey made five rounds.
