All Hen And All Cltan EIGHTH YEAR, NO. 116. RIVAL AFFIDAVITS IN IT INTYRE WIEUASE ONE SET CHARGES HENRY DU 8018 WITH SENSATIONAL PLOT, WHILE OTHER ATTACKS REPU TATION OF CHIEF ACCUSER./ Judge Brooke heard arguments Mon day morning on the petition* for anew trial of the celebrated McTntyre will case, which has alroady been tried In the circuit court four times, ami in which the proponents of the will won ft victory several weeks ago. Anew trial was asked for on the ground that much important testl mony has recently come to light, tes timony unknown at the previous trial. AflUlftvlta were read from live of the jurors who sat in the case several weeks ago, in which they claimed that they were coercod into changing their opinions. These five men allege thn* they were in favor of the contestants, but voted with the other seven only when ft was reported in the jury room that they would be locked up for three days if they did not reach an agreement soon er. They claimed to have been con fined In a small room devoid of all comforts. Important affidavits were also read from Charles Willmartii and his wife, Della, of Sand Hill. Willmarth claims that aeveral years age he was ap proached by Henry Dubois, a Detroit attorney, whose wife will receive con siderable property should the propon ents eventually win, and tfcked to as sist in making a fake will to the Mc- Intyre estate. Mrs. Willmarth claims —to have been -in the Dubois home and she says she heard Mr. Dubois urge her husband to go Into the scheme. In opposing the motion for anew trial, the attorneys for the proponents, produced the affidavits of Mr. and Mrs. Dubois, both of whom allege that the affidavits of the Wlllmarths are false, and any that the only time Mr. and Mrs. Willmarth ever y lotted in the Du fcols home, the evening was spent in card playing, and that the Mclntyre will was not mentioned. Affidavits from 13 persons were also retfd attacking the reputation of Wiil marth, claiming he docs not always tell the truth. In his affidavit Charles Willmarth claimed that part of Henry Dubois’ scheme- was to get'Volney Smith to write a will, and then say that the document was written by his father, the late Squire Smith, as both father and ton wrote exactly alike. In an affidavit also read Volney Smith aays he was never asked to write a will, and that his writing is not at ail like his father's. He expresses his belief that the paper on which the propon ents pin their hopes was written by his father. At the conclusion of the arguments, Judge Brooke reserved h|s decision.

As fast av the mobs formed botfles of special po lice would scatter them -with their night sticks. This continued through out the night, the rage of the people Increasing every hour. Planned Death of Three. It developed this morning that Alio had planned to murder three priests, not knowing that only one officiated at the morning service. "I Intended to kill three of the dogs,” he said this morning, “and would have been bappy had I succeed ed. But I Hid a pretty good piece of work anyway and am ready for the law to take its course.

When I got so I could hit a telegraph pole ev ery time at 10 yards I decided I was ready for the priests. 1 am sorry I could not have killed more, but will have to be satisfied.” V While Father Leo Heinrich was ad ministering to him the sacrament at early mass In St. Elisabeth’s Roman Catholic church, Giuseppe Alio, avow ed anarchist and priest-hater, sudden ly pressed a -revolver against the priest's breast and fired. Crying “My God. my God,” Rather Leo fell in front of the altar and was dead before anyone could reach hu side. With an inarticulate scream, the as sassin sprang 'uto the aisle and. wav ing the smoking pistol about his head, dashed to the church door. For a mo ment the hundred or more persons in the church were dazed. Then a woman shrieked and the congregation became panic-stricken. Several women fainted and many oth ers became hysterical. Several men, including Patrolman Daniel Cronin, started in pursuit of the murderer. Policeman Cronin overtook (he flee ing Italian on the church steps. Gui seppe attempted to shoot the police man. but was foiled ana overpowered after a desperate struggle in which several men assisted the officer.

PLEADS FOR MERCHANT MARINE NEW HAMPSHIRE BENATOR, IN AODREBB ON OCEAN MAIL BILL, ALSO TELLS OF SO. AMERICAN SHIPPING TRUST. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24—Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, address ed the senate at length today m sup port of the ship subsidy measure or. as its friends now call It, the ocean mall bill. He made a strong plea for legislation calculated to build up the American merchant marine. In the course of his address, Sen ator Gallinger charged that a South American shipping trust exists, organ tzed by European capital, and that this trust was actively engaged in try ing to dominate ocean transportation affecting South America, to the prsju dice and injury of American shipping. "The most smarting and humiliating episode of the entire year," said he, "is the revelation which the Pacific cruise of the great battleship fleet is affording, that our merchant marine la now shrunk to such a skeleton that it does not contain enough ocean-going steam colliers to provide the indis pensable fuel for the battleships on their voyage from the American port of Hampton Roads to the American port of San Francisco." Senator Gallingey said the respon sibility for this situation rested square ly with congress, not with the presi dent, who had repeatedly urged aid to the merchant marine. TOUTH OF 15 MAKES BRUTAL ATTACK ON MOTHER DRAGS HER DOWN STEPB BY HER HAIR—PASSERBY RESCUES WO MAN AND YOUNG INCORRIGIBLE IS LOCKED UP. s Peter Joseph, a cigarette-smoking incorrigible of 15 years, is tn the tolls as a result of a brutal attack ou hi* mother almost at the door of 86. Peter and Paul’s Jesuit church Monday morning. Mrs. Joseph, who is a Syri an. has tried in vain to have the boy mend his ways and, finally despairing of her task, went to the Detroit col lege, immediately adjoining the church, Monday morning, to consult one of the priests as to what could be done with the lad. Peter followed his mother and then she mounted the college steps, he divined her purpose. Rushing up be hind her, he seised her by the hair and dragged her vollently down the stone steps, bruising her painfully, a passenger on a passing street car wit nessed the attack and went to the mother’s assistance'. He collared the boy and turned him over to the Col lege authorities, who held him pris oner until the police could be sum moned. Truant Officer Max Grossman took Peter before Lieut. Breault, who is now Investigating the case. Peter Is a slave to the goddess nic otine, according to his mother, who says he smokes from 40 to 50 cigar ettes a day. She has tried In every way to break him of the habit, out to no purpose. Peter's face shows the effects of his dissipation, noth withstanding his tender years. “God/” Causes Havoc In Saloon; Tender Tears His Salvation A bull in a china shop couldn’t, have done more damage than did a “goat’’ in the saloon of Mrs. Sophie Waslk, in Delray, Dec. 28, 1807. The goat was not the real four-footed ani mal with horns, but was a made-up affair, in which James Larys, a young Pole, played the leading role. On Monday, Joseph was in Judge Lem kle’s court, where he was asked to pay SSOO for*the damage he caused by a too strenuous portrayal of the goat's kicking powers. Mrs. Wasik testified that a num ber of visitors, mostly Poles, were in her saloon, when Larys, dressed to represent a goal, came bounding into the saloon on all fours. He frisked about the place, greatly to the amuse ment of the men present, and was finally captured after a hard chase. While being held by one of the men, someone tickled the “goat" In the ribs. Instantly the "animal" kicked out at his tormentors, but his foot came In contact with the stove. Fire was scattered about the saloon, and when the flames were extinguished a great hole had been burned In the floor and the decorations destroyed. When the goat" was put on the stand he testified that he was not yet 20 years of age. and_ the case was dismissed ~at -oner The “goat" wot represented in court by William Fer guson and John Polbiick, road boss of the Ninth ward. The plaintiff was represented by August Cyrowskl, Adan\ Bloom and Judge Coulson. Wolverines x LANSING. Mich., Feb. 24.—Two young Michigan officer* in the regulai army were last week promoted by President Roosevelt to be r-a plain* of Infantry. They are Ralph Mrt'oy, son of former Stats Treasurer Dan McCoy, of Grand Rapids; and George R. Bali, son of Dan H Ball, for many years one of the leaders of the Marquette county bar. ATWOOD MEPHISTO TO WILSON’S FAUST “TIP” PROMPTED THE TUBCOLA COUNTY DELEGATE IN EVERY MOVE AT THE FINAL SESSION OF CON-CON. (From a Special Correspondent.) LANSING. Mich., Feb. 24.—Side lights thrown upon the actlous of the con-con when the word "reasonable” Wgv BlflinHHHH T. W. (“TIP”) ATWOOD. Who prompted Delegate Wlxaon all through the final session of ths con eon. was injected into section 38 of wticiti -8 of the revised constitution of Michi gan, are valuable as an aid to public Judgment. When Wixson moved to kill thi;. section, it was a fact carefully noted that "Tip’’ Atwood piompted it nnd every other move mude by Wixson was first suggested to him by "Tip.' who was ever at his elbow, like the sinister Mephlsto that, dogged poor Faust. When Hemans suggested the amend ment that finally stuck, it was again Atwood who prompted Wixson to with draw all his amendments and accept this one,' Just before the final vote was reached on, this, several of the delegate attorneys helu a short con sultation, among them being A. L. Moore, who had before so sharpiy stated that the use of the word “rea sonable" clearly opened the door to litigation and that every city, village or township would have a law suit on tap ©very time any person, partner ship, association or corporation waul ed a franchise for any public utility, when without any further debate ths offensive word was Incorporated, thus leaving the impression that this large majority lawyer convention joined hands to precipitate upon the state a vast scheme for multiplying law suits to tho detriment of the general public while playing into the hands of the legal profession. Law May be Evaded. Because the opponents to municipal ownership so readily supported this proposition and were so jubilant over the result, there la no question but what they believe that this law can easily be evaded. Remember also that the referendum, originally in this sec tion, was cut out, so that with this final thrust it is feared now that the courts will declare this only a lifeless skeleton. thieveTmnke VALUABLE HAUL GET CLOTHING IN ONE PLACE AND JEWELB AND CABH IN OTHERS. Skeleton key* and jimmies were used to good advantage by burglars Saturday night and Sunday. A police man found the front duor of the Effel Tower Gleaning cS.’s establishment at No. 48 Adams-ave. weat, unlocked Sun day morning and notified the proprie tor. An investigation reavealed that clothing valued at’ $l4O, left in the place to be cleaned, was missing. Thieves entered the residence of Mrs Minnie Kaymor, No. 711 Baker st.. by prlying open a front window and secured Jewelry valued at about S3OO. The house was thoroughly ran sacked. O. R.

"She wanted to get rid of me and now she a succeeded," continued Hag gerty, with downcast bead. "But I’ll bt» nut again after a few years and the lx>rd will punish her for what she has dono to me.” Judge Phelan recommended that Haggerty be released In lb years.

We have P to be the flnancler; we must buy the engine and then run it ourselves. Whan Mrs. So-and-so has the tooth ache we must go to her assistance, and when Mr. So-and-so has hurt his nose we must go to him. It is almost impossible for the great majority of uc to write or think out sermons when we have so many other things to do.’’ The Rev. C. 8. Q. Boone was speak ing in the meeting of the Baptist Preachers’ conference Monday morn ing, discussing the address on “What thp* modem sermon ought to be,” de livered by Prof. Theodore Soares, of Chicago. In a scholarly and finished talk. Prof. Soares gave his ideas of what the- sermon of today should be. “The characteristics of the modern sermon is that it is eloquent, and by eloquence I mean earnestness and power, he said. “We have s&en In the American pulpit a great deal of tawdry elo quence. I have heard and read Tal fnadge’s sermons and I do not call them eloquent. It is mere tinsel, the kind of eloquence that comes from behind the footlights. It is picturing, •imply for the sake of picturing. Elo quence comes out of a man’s inner life. We should prepare ourselves more, then we wouldn’t have such a hard time to prepare our sermons. The books we read, the thought* we think, the deeds we perform, are the riches from which come a man’s ser mons. A congregation always under stands whether a sermon comes out of the life or whether it Is made. We must preach from experience. “We should cease to prove the blble and use it. You cannot prove any thing by the blble. Things are not true because they are in the blble. They are in the blble because they are true. The Ideal modern sermon is one that exalts Jesus Christ,” boy mm on JUDGE’S ORDER

Today, the first time since the lid was clapped on. the Monday morning docket in the early session of police court was back to its old form. Yet. when It was analyzed, there was noth* ing very startling about it. The. fact that the saloons were doing business on Washington's birthday did not serve to augment the docket. On the contrary, most of whom there were 11, were arretted late Friday night or early Saturday morning while tanking up in anticipa tion of a two-day drought. There were 13 complaints for disturbing the peace am! most of the?e cases coold be traced to liquor, but cyan tfcis la something of an Improvement over the old days. Charles Youiana, a capmaker, par- took too freely of hot ruin and eras in a fighting mood when he ran afoul of Patrolman William Dean.

Sunday morning on p. charge of being drunk. Mabel ad mitted she had had a "couple of drinks" but denied using the hatpin on the officer. "Five dollars or 30 days." said the court. ft... Not an arrest for drunkenness was made in the Vtnewood precinct from Friday night to Monday morning and no complaints will be made against saloonkeepers for keeping open in vio lation of the h*w. Scotten precinct, which includes Delray, made almost as good a record, with only two "drunks." Out. In the Vine wood district, Sun day, several persons were seen to de posit baskets in the alley back of a saloon and later call for them and car ry them away, after taking a walk around the block. The presumption is that the baskets had beep filled with bottled beer in tbs interim, bat tbs police were able to secure proof tft lb* fact. CO-OPEiTI OF BREWERS ASKED

COUNCIL WILL ASK THEM NOT TO ESTABLISH BALOONB IN RESIDENCE DIBTRICTB. Aldermen will try Wednesday after* r.oon to bring together rival brewing interests In an effort to sedure a promise that no new saloons will be opened In residence districts. Without the backing of the brewers, there is little likelihood of new saloons, and promises have been made that indicate a chance of uniting the Independent and so-called "combine*’ breweries to restrict the trade. To the rivalry of the breweries, which strove to establish as many saloons as possible to enlarge their trade, may be laid the great number of saloons in Detroit. "We shall try to reach an amicable agreement with the brewers," declares Aid. Korte. who is chairman of tbs liquor regulation committee. "If other methods fail, we can go to tbs legisla ture for laws that will give the city more power. As it Is. I think we have power to Impose an additional fine of SSOO, besides the state tax of that amount. That would cut tbs saloons down if there is oo other way of reaching a settle meat."

If any saloonkeeper got a notion, be cause he was ullowed to do business without fear of police interference on Washington's birthday, that there would be any easing up of the police commissioner's Sunday lid order, he was doomed to sore disappointment, for promptly at 12 o’clock Saturday night the lid was clapped on again and screwed down tightly, and it remained thus until 6 o’clock Monday morntng. A few scattering saloonists decided to take a chance, but at that only rogu ]f»r patrons could gain admittance, and then only through devious passages. Patrolmen Idngeinaa and Doan found about 100 Nogrots in the Union league, ou Gratiot-ave., near St. Au tolue-st., and many of them were drinking. A complaint will probably be made against the place. Commissioner Smith issued a state ment Saturday night relative to the conditions which prevailed Saturday, with respect to the saloons. In view of the commercial activity in other lines on Washington’s birthday, “the temptation of the saloonkeeper and the demand for his goods, both were too great to be overcome/’ he says. The law requiring saloons to be closcu on a day of this kind, he points out. was drawn for rural communities, “or at best not for large cities, where mer chants and laborers do not depend on restaurants or cases for their lunch eon.” He suggests legislation along this line. SHEEP MOST VALUABLE STOCK IN MICHIGAN Sheep are the most valuable farm animals in Michigan, not per head but in the mass, the value of the sheep in the Btate being $2,130,000 and this lead Is the more likely to be maintained since the northern portions of the state have been shown to be so suit able to the growing of forage crops, good for fattening sheep.

Mrs. Atkinson alleges that she mortgaged her home to loan her son 13,500. with which to buy a $6,500 home on Marsfon court. She says he promised to have the deed of the new home In her name until the loan was repaid, but he deeded It to himself and has failed to pay Interest on the loon. Mr. Atkinson denies any agreement to deed the place to his mother, and says she knew he had boriowed from an other source In order to buy the place.

It’s the channel through which energy—nerve force is transmitted. If too much nerve force goes to a part, it is irritated, causing pain, congestion, spasms, fits, epilepsy, etc. If not enough it is enfeebled, and if none at all paralysis results. Dr. Miles’ Nervine soothes the nerves, as sists the nerve cells to generate nerve force* and in this wpy re stores nervous energy.

The entire theater-going public of New York has expressed nothing but regret for the fact that subsequent contracts prevented the managemet of Daly’s theater from al lowing her to remain in that house during the entire season.

The tale deals with the adventures of a girl brought in the midst of the rough life of the frontier, tenderly cared for and almost worahiped by the hardy men of the ranch and the mines. Her lover, Dick Gold, Is a typical cowboy, and all promises to go well until it is discovered that Bunco Is heiress to English estates.

The villain Is finally killed, off-stage, which is a grateful surprise. Frank H. Russell does well as Pat Nolan and Herman R. Field Is funny as Hair Oil Bill. A number of In dians from Pine Ridge agency give an air of verity to the play. Page Five SKYSCRUPEAS MAY BE BARRED BUILDING COMMISSION Dlt- CUSSES LIMITING OF STRUC TURES TO EIGHT STORIKS.
