Itetiroif Clines DUST ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR MAYOR HE IS FOR “HONORABLE SETTLE MENT" OF STREET RAILWAY PROBLEM AND OPPOSED TO LONG-TERM FRANCHISES. William T. Dust Is out with a formal announcement of his candidacy for the Republican nomination for mayor. His platform, so far. Is a rather gen eral one. He Is for a fair and honor able settlement of the street railway question, out of court, if possible, and rigidly against auy longterm fran chises. “So many Republicans and friends haev urged me to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, that, remembering their loyal and enthusiastic support in the last election, I aninmiuf my candidacy,” said Mr. Dust Monday aborning.' “I would like to be mayor princi pally because there are a number of things I want to do. It will be a great honor for the man of whom it can be said, in later years, that he settled the street railway question, and I would like to be that man. There must be some way to settle this prob lem with fairness to the company and justice to the citizens. A settlement in the courts might take a life time. “It is not my Intention to make a campaign of criticism. Other men and candidates have a right to their opinions, as I have to mine, and the voters will decide for themselves which opinions they prefer to Indorse. I am not for any long-term franchise. The good will of the business aud the rights In the streets belong to the people, and they should keep them. Who knows how' conditions may change in a few years? The neces sity for expensive overhead equipment may be done away with aud then three cent fares might be too high." “How about the ‘lid?’” was asked. “If elected mayor, I shall take an oath to enforce the laws and the li quor lawß are among those covered by that oath.” replied Mr. Dust. William T. Dust was born in Ger many and came to Detroit as a child of three years when his parents Im migrated to this country. He has lived here 52 years and has won busi ness and political success through his own efforts. His record of political endeavor is a long one. In 1885 he became a member of the upper house of the council, which then consisted of 12 men. Two years later he was elected city clerk, being the only Republican to carry the city that year. When Pingree was elected mayor. Dust was made assessor and served two terms. After his retirement, he was elected estimator from the Fifteenth ward and was president of the board of esti mates one year. Mayor Maybury then appointed him assessor again and he served part of a term, resigning to accept a position as state tax commis sioner in 1901. After four years as tax commission er, he retired to private life again, but came out as a Townsend man two years ago and was elected to the leg islature. carrying Detroit by the larg est majority given any Republican leg islator. As state tax commissioner, he assisted In conducting the first railroad assessment under the tax equalisation law. STRIKE-BREAKERS CAUSE A RIOT CHESTER, PA., 4CENE OF DISOR DER WHEN NON-UNION MEN START CARS. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 13. Chester, a suburb of Philadelphia, was the sceno of great disorder today, when the street railway company at tempted to operate street cars with non-union labor. The union employes of the com pany are on a strike and the attempt today to resume traffic with strike breakers, resulted in rioting In the shed. The men were forced to flee from the cars while they were fol lowed by a volley of sticks and stones. Window’s were smashed and several were slightly injured, although none seriously enough to be taken to a hospital. Two hundred men are idle and business generally is suspended. PENSACOLA, Fla.. April 13.—Six militia companies are now here and i the strike-hound street car company has already begun a kind of tentative operation of its lines. Not much will be done, however, until more militia men reach the city, or it becomes evident that those already here are numerous enough to kep order. CAR FERRY TOWS IN MISSING TUG WITH 5 TRAVERSE CITY, Mich, April 13. (Special.)—A Manistique car ferry brought to Northport yesterday the Charlevoix fishing tug Little Maeta, which had been missing 13 days. Ihe five men aboard were all right, except they were ravenous, having had noth ing to eat Saturday, except one potato apiece. v The tug had been caught in the ice. The ferry was compelled to cut a channel two miles long with propel lers, before she got to her. 'CotTTnr Creditors Meet Next Monday. Next Monday afternoon has been set as the date for the first meeting of the creditors of C. E. Collins, the hanknipi Rochester banker. The cred itors will meet In Rochester. A dealer who.sells cheap purses says there Isn’t much money in them P. M. PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED AT jPARTA ENGINE DEMOLISHED WHEN CARS SHOOT INTO OPEN SWITCH— —FREIGHT IS HELD TO BE RE SPONSIBLE. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 13. An open switch on the Pere Mur fnstte railroad at Sparta caused the wreck of passenger train No. 1 whica left this city at 7:ss,'resulting in the almost complete demolition of the en gine. The engineer and fireman would un doubtedly have been killed had not both jumped. The passengers on the train were all badly shaken up and some of them bruised and cut badly, but no serious injuries were reported. A freight train, which had left Sparta about 20 minutes before the arrival of the passenger, is held te sponsible for the open switch. MAN IS DRIVEN TO SUICIDE BY ILLNESS BARTENDER JOHN MAUL, VICTIM OF RHEUMATISM, DRINKS CAR BOLIC ACID IN ALLEY OFF LOCU3T-ST. While despondent on account of an attack of rheumatism, which Incapaci tated him temperorarily, John Mauf, employed as a bartender for Ernest C. Foss, saloonkepers at No. 203 Four teenth-ave., committed suicide by the carbolic acid route in an alh?y off Lo cust-st., between Fourteenth and Wa bash-aves., early Monday afternoon. On account of his rheumatism. Maul had not worked since Saturday. About an hour before he took his life he was In the saloon talking with Mr, Foss and seemed quite despondent, bet gave no intimation that he intended to do away with himself. When he left he said he was going to consult a physician In the Breitraeyer build ing. Instead, however, he purchased a bottle of carbolic acid and after swallowing the contents threw the bat tle away. Mau Iwas seen staggering down the alley by a Mr. Hanafan, of Huron-st. He notified Undertaker James Hayes, No. 387 Fourteenth-ave., and the two went to the man's assistance. Mr. Hayes saw that Maul was beyond aid. He died in less than live minutes. Coroner Bennett was called and de cided that no inquest Is necessary. Maul was 49 years old and unmar ried. He Is survived by a sister, who lives In the vicinity of Grand River and Brooklyn-aves. He had lived lu Detroit all his life. FIVE MEN NEARLY PERISH IN FIRE OLD FAFEYTA HOUSE ON LIVER NOIS-AVE. IS DESTROYED; LOSS $2,700. The Fafeyta house, formerly a hotel, at Nos. 302-301, Llvernois-ave., was badly gutted by flrfe at an early hour Monday morning, and five men had u narrow’ escape from death. The place is no longer a hotel. On lower floor was the saloon and billiard hall of Stephen Orl, and the upper rooms were used as a boarding house for laboring men. Orl’s wife and chil dren were absent, having gone to Cleveland on Saturday. The origin of the fire is a mystery, it was discovered at 4 o’clock by rail road men who work in the M. C. R. shop. Just across the street. The boarders w’ere then almost uncon scious from smoke, and considerable difficulty was experienced In getting from the building. They lost most of their personal effects. Orl’s stock of liquors and cigars Is a complete loss, and his pool tables are ruined. He places his loss at 91,200. The building was damaged to the extent of 91,500. The building was erected more than 30 years ago, and was run as a hotel for many years by B. J. Fafeyta. During the 70’s It was the center of life In old West Detroit, and was a favorite meeting place for politicians. When West Detroit was taken Into the lim its and street cars were extended into that part of the city, much of the bust -1 ness moved down town, and of recent years the place has been nothing more than a saloon and cheap boarding house.

TELLS OF MOTHER SPOONING WITH eon I OFTEN SAW PAIR HUGGING ANJ KISSING, LITTLE HAZEL JEW ELL TELLS COURT-WANTS TO LIVE WITH FATHER. A sweet-faced girl of 13 years took the stand in Judge 3|audeU’s court Monday morning, and testified to a shocking condition of affairs whi n h she says she has witnessed In the boarding house kept by her mother at No. 125 Harper-ave. The girl Was Hazel Jewell, who Is asking the couit to take her from her mother and place her in the care of her father, Henry M. Jewell, a real estate dealer living ini No. 262 Englewood-ave. Her story was told with all the refreshing lnno j cencc of childhood, and the fact that i her mother as sitting there hud no ap parent effect on the child. Hazel testified that several months ago her mother flirted with a man named Jackson In a hotel In Chelsea. Jackson later came to Detroit amt took up his residence in the Jowoil boarding house.

Hazel also told of being compelled to wash dishes for the boarders, many times working until 10 o’clock at night. The father Is making an’ effort to get possession of his daughters, and Hazel claimed to be anxious to get away from her mother. The Jewells were divorced three years ago, and the two‘daughters were awarded to the mother. The father was given tho j sen.

CHICAGO. April 13—The Detroit Tigers arrived here this morning from Cincinnati, and are quartered at the Lexington, famous as their headquar ters during the world's series days. The squad came through from Cincln nail in good shape and will probably take it easy all day today, resting up for the opening game of the Ameri can league season, which is scheduled for tomorrow. Slever and Schmidt will be the bat tery for the Tigers, opposing White and Sullivan for the home club. The Whitesox Rooters’ association is mak ing arrangments to fill the welkin with sound and the crowd that will attend the opening of the game is sure to be enormous in the event of favorable weather, as Chicago—undoubtedly the greatest ball towu l,n the world —has ytt to see a game this season. A fan has gone into the weather dope to a certain extent and finds that, [out of 38 April 14’« on record at the local bureau, it has rained on 34 and snowed on two of them. Today, how ever. the promise is for fair, brisk weather. i Manager Jennings was particularly THE DETROIT TIMES: MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1908. ed nevertheless a remarkable recora mnw« Hughle Jennings' wisdom in re fusing to part with the Southern league star until given a more thor 1 ough opportunity of trying him out. In but one department, aside from the pitching which is naturally weak at this season, was the work of the Tiges below par and this was in the base running. The men have been doing but little sliding, many of them going into the bases on close plays standing up, preferring to take no chances until the regular season is on. Sam Crawford, who led the league last year in run-scoring, leads the team again in this department, as welt as in extra-base hits. i pleased at the result of the Cincinnati j series. The Reds had been eating up the various other American league teams, had beaten Boston 2 to 1, the Whitesox 1 to 0 aud Washington 3 to 2, Detroit being the first to lower their colors. The batting of the whole team and the work of Malloy and Summers, the colt pitchers, were the brightest features of the series to Jennings. News that the Detroit manage ment had disposed of Sterier to Grand Rapids and Warhop to Williamsport of the Tri-Btate league, came to the squad here as no surprise. Both the boys were light and Sterxer failed to show much of anything while with the combined squad. Warhop Is gen erally credited with being the great est .little pitcher of his inches, but >s so small that ft was bard to make the men feel confident behind him. The probability now is that Red” Downs will be the utility mau to get. the axe. Jennings would like to keep Downs and Killifer, piaclug Cockill for another year of seasoning, but uas found it impossible to secure waivers on the first baseman, four American league clubs desiring his services. There is nothing left for the Tiger management to do but to keep him on its list. Killifer made a great record In the Tri-State last year and it will be hard to get waivers on him. Jennings may also find trouble In getting Downs part the gauntlet which any player has to run before getting out of the league, but there Is the advantage that National league clubs have not the privilege of bidding on him. Manager Davy Jones, of the Yanl gans. who got in this morning, has had Ito stand for considerable kidding on fact that he and his team won but one game out of their fottr, but he lays the defeats entirely at the door of his third baseman who, he says, Was rotten. Jones played the Cough lin bag himself, so the knocking is considered excusable. Jonea men. however.

He wax far from the flntshed player, it Is true, but his performance was all the more remarkable for that. Awkward and ungainly Cobb strode to the plate for the first time In tli'' big league, lifted his club over his shoulder, his hands high apart, braven the smiles of the opposition with tro mendoux earnestness and—whaled the ball Into center field for a two-base Ml that virtually won the game for the Tigers As he tore round the path to the base he wobbled, his shoulders rocked like a diking beam and hlz chin stuck out in front. But he got there in Jig time. Two years of observation have taught Cobb the refinements of base ball. An apt pupil ha corrected his own faults, asking no counssl but copy ing from other men the points which appealed to his baseball sense. A child among men in the most strenu ous athletic life known to organized sport, he held his own and Improved l his style.

Twltchell has been rated among the moderately prosperous aver since quitting baseball and Is doing well in hla present calling. I,lll ~m ALREADY SOLO The seats for the opening game of the baseball season In Detroit, due to occur on Friday, are going like hot cakes, over 1,000 of the reserved sit tings as well ao the boxes being Al ready disposed of.

It was the cause of his demand last winter for the con tract with the accident Insurance clause With Cobb the temptation to take an extra bass at the sxpenas of one of those dazzlinq slides is one utterly irresistible. But every time he makes that slide he la taking a tremendous chance. Some day it will be a brok en arm, a broken rib or two or-—well, let ua hope it won’t be worse than that! Eventually It will be an Injury to the head or body, for Cobb is an In veterate head-first slider and seldom takes the chance that leads to a caught spike and a broken leg. Last year on more than one occa slon Cobb came near pounding him self Into absolute collapse, and his body whs black and blue from the season's opening to the finish. But while the Georgia boy ie play ing, he wMI show ue a touch of base ball high lifs which It may nsvsr again bs our privlltgs to behold. And, until the injury comae that will put a stop to It, Cobb’s career will surely dazzle us mors and more, increasing In bril liancy and waxing steadily to its ell max.

Sore If *very mother could realize the real danger that I nroat lurks behind every case of U/leHnm aore throat, she wouldn't w ibuom rc#t onti had flocud a curb every time a child has it. Yonr family physician will verify the statement that it is a positive fact that every child wiih sore throat is in immediate dan rer pf con tractisg Croqp, Quinsy, Toosilitis or Diphtheria, and is not removed from that danger until the throat is cured. Think of itl Liniments or outward application of medicines do not and cannot care the sU tnsnt, though they may offer temporary relief. Neither Can you cure sore throat with a cough syrup or a cold cure. To cure, you must get at the seat of the disease, removing the cause. Nothing does that bo quickly, safely and surely as TONSILINE. A single dose of TONSIL INB taken upon the first appearance of sore throat may save long weeks of sickness, great expense, worry, even death. TON SILINB is the stitch in time. Use a little sore throat wisdom and buy a bottle of TONSILINE today. You may need it tomorrow. TONSILINE is the standard sore throat remedy—best known and most effective ana most used. Look for the long necked fellow on the 25 or 60 cent sized bottlo when you go to the drug store to gut it. The Tonailine Cos. Canton, AMUSEMENTS. nCTD r\ I T TO.fIOHT AT H. IIP 1 I Pv t. J I I tint*.

From cm i ruin rise to'curtain fall, they had the Sunday audience* going In a contlnu- I oua series of tilerry explosion*. It la the life, vivacity, rollicking fun thal these two talented comedienne.! put Into the piece that carries it along without a puuiie from grin to roar, without more than a moment a pause. There is action and action and then more of the same. The plot is simple In idea but very complex In development. Erma Des mond (HIM Osterman) Is hired by a Mrs. Stanley as companion and each is surprised to discover thal they art exact counterparts In sppearance. Then Mrs. Stanley disappears after persuading Miss Desmond to tske her place. Enter Mr. Stanley, back from a five years' exploring trip, also enter an old beau of Miss Desmond, a law yer with a legacy to deliver to that lady, a daughter who has been away at achool and other characters who soon tie enough knots in the plot to require three acts for straightening out. When the first dramatist, away back in the ages when humanity was leam lng to wear clothes, understood to make hig savage audience laugh, he chose the theme of mistaken identity. And so many have been the followers In this line that it would be vain to expect really new material in a play of this kind. Nevertheless, human kind never grows tired of the force that is based on twisted Identifications and the hearty reception accorded this week’s offering Is the beat aof proof. Beside the stars, H.

About the beat all ’round burlesque show seen in Detroit In some time Is put on by Fred Irwin's New Majes ties In the Gayety theater this week. That Sunday's audiences were quick to appreciate the auperlority of thia aggregation over some that have gone before, was manifest from the v.ay they warmed up to the company's efforts from the start. Some of the "boys” even forgot to smoke. With one exception, and that has since been eliminated. Sunday’s show was unobjectionable from a moral standpoint, and at the same time there was nothing tame about the perform ance. It was Just a clean, whole some. spirited burlesque entertain ment, put on by a well-drilled, well dressed company of men and women who know what the public demands and who try their boat to supply that demand. In musical features the show Is ex ceptionally strong and some voices of unusual quality are heard both in solos and in ensemble numbers. A popular feature of the opienlng bur letta Is a little interpolation called "Baseball,” in which members of the chorus march In one by one, togged out In natty baseball costumes, each representing a different team in the two big leagues. Some clever Im personations are given by feminine members of the company. Eva Tan guay, Vesta Victoria and Fay Temple ton ure taken off to perfection. Charles Burkhart, in Italian make-up, adds a bit of pathos with a touching recita tion, excellently rendered. The olio Is all to the good. Ernest and Clara Rackett in a sketch called “Bob Fitzsimmons In Evening Dress,” were recalled time and again. Gertie DeMllt Is a dancer really worth while, and she can sing a bit, too. The Col lege Four quartet Is also worthy of special mention. THE AVENUE. One of the finest choruses seen in the Avenue theater for many moons appeared with the High Jinks buries quers, which opened a week’s engage ment Sunday afternoon. The girls are shapely, good looking and hand somely gowned. Had they been allow ed to take a more prominent part in the performance, and much of the work of the so-called comedians been cut out, the show would be greatly improved. "Roseiand,” a musical affair In taro acts, is the vehicle which serves to introduce Brewster, a man with mil lions. represented by John Price, and his efforts to spend his money creates considerable fun. Beatrice Harlowe made a hit with her acting, and her dash and ginger. Her acting of the part of the crazy queen, and the ef forts of Comedians Price and Phil Mills to humor her, convulsed the au dience. Several interesting specialties are introduced during the action of the piece, and a number of new and catchy songs are contributed by the chorus. THE WHITNEY. Alkali dust, broad sombreros, buf falo hide and moccasins are In evi dence In the Whitney theater this week. The occasions Is the annual appearance of Owne Davis’ popular thriller, "The Gambler of the West,” which never falls to draw a crowd. In the realm of melodrama there are few productions that can stir up a greater furore among "the gods" than this same "Gambler of the West." And It is put on as only A1 Woods knows how. The caste, In the main, Is practically unchanged from last year and the presence of real Indians Is In Itself a great drawing card. Madeline Clark is Little Great Gear and the part is well assigned. R. A. LaMar, in the character ot Mike Clancy, Is picturesque and terri ble. as he is calculated to bd, and Morris Burr as Lucky Jack Gordon, the gambler, is quite equal to the task. Marie Pmvey is the heroine, Ma bel Qrey, about whom the plot centers. She displays considerable talent In the emotional dfcmande at her role. Hatr tie Carmontelle, as Bridget Parley, in troduces a clever singing specialty that makes the audience cry for more. "The Gambler of the West** will re maln all week with jhf nees. Silly Man.

An amusing story comes from a vet eran in lowa. It shows how possible it is for not only one man to be mis taken about a matter, but four make the same blunder at once. Thirteen years ago," writes a col onel of the late war, "I was a con firmed Invalid, unable to attend to business. 1 had heart trouble and had It bad. "Deciding to consult a specialist, I told my wife I was going to Chicago for a few days on business, not saying what the main business was. "On arriving in the city 1 went to see a man on a small matter and had to climb two flights of stairs. 1 thought I would never get to the top. 1 could only go up two or three steps at a time and did this by hanging onto the railing. When I got to the man's office, I was so exhausted I had to rest before 1 could state my er rand. "Next morning I sought out ray specialist. He looked me over, asked me If I used tobacco, or intonating liquors. I said no. Ever drink coffee? Yes. always have, in fact. It is all i live on these days. "Well, you Just stop It entirely, said the doctor. Why t man, I gasped, what will I live on? Did you ever drink Postum, he asked. I said no. Then he asked me where I was stop ping and sent me to a restaurant with instructions to have them make me Poatum. "So I took my meals there, and really liked Postum from the start. 1 stayed more than ten days and went home feeling much better. I could sleep and that ’gom* feeling had gone, sure enough. When 1 arrived at home I Just picked up my suit case and walked home from the depot as spry as a kitten and I'll not soon forget the happy surprised look on my wife’s face. "When she opened the suit case she found two packages of Postum. She laughed at me and said we could get plenty at the store. I had always been finicky about my coffee, and my 1 four brothers were all acquainted with the Ann Java my wife used to make. “We were all bankers, and got to gether sometimes for a visit. About jtbla time they all happened to be at jour house and remarked that they ex pected some of Nettle’s fine coffee. She called me out and said we must have swine coffee. "Make Poetum Just as yon have been doing. I said. The boys were all about aa I had been from drinking coffee. They complimented my wife on her Java' and drank two cups piece. v them Hull li waa not Java. What! No, It waa Poe tum. Then ahe told them of my com plete recovery atnee knitting coffee and uaing Poatum They all went •way determined to quit coffee, and we are all today enjoying the pink of good health, and we attribute It largely to the use of Postum.’* "There'a a Reason.'

What Happened t) Coupons of Cigars For Mayor's Tarty?

What became of the coupons foi Mayor Thompson’s New Year’s day cigars? This is the question which a facetious ly inclined city hall official has start ed. and some of the aldermen have been Jokingly proposing an Investiga tion into the mayoral office to deter mine their disposition. The mayor had a party New’ Year’s day, as has been the custom every j year. Cigars are always passed out and it has been the general impres sion during the administrations of Mayors Mayburv and Codd that the cigars were paid for by the mayor. Thompson does not hesitate to state that he charged them up to the city, two vouchers for $24 and sll having gone to the council in January. As the cigars were purchased from the United Cigar Stores Cos., they were accompanied by coupons good for a premium. “I don’t remember now abofut the coupotis. but I don’t think I ever saw them.” said the mayor laughingly. “1 charge up my expense bill right, ev ery Item —not in a lump like some past officials.” “A scrub woman got part of the coupons and the rest went for an ash j tray for your office,” reminded Wm Van Dyke, one of the mayor’s counsel ors. “And I thought that was a present,” arid the mayor regretfully. City Clerk. Qaston ruefully. con fesses that he was stung. “Just to think that I gave a recep tion. on New Year's day, too. and paid for my own cigars,” said Gaston. “I see new that I was easy.” Farmer Rose Loses Agaim Levi R.

Some out-of town liquidation In moderate volume was apparent, ancf trader* wer«* rather actively bearish. Steel showed weak ness on selling from London and from some western points. Judging by the houses who executed the orders. There has been r«#ewcd selling of Amalga mated due to heaviness of copper stocks In London. It Is expected that next London fortnightly copper statis tics will show a large Increase In the quantity of the metal In sight. Early buying of Smelter* looked rather jtood and steadied that stock when the cop per group sold off. Standard Oil I hrok'T* were reported a* the buyers of this stock. After more than an hour’s trading the market was still heavy, but had steadied considerably at the lower levels. The volume of business had been fair, although it may still he said that there Is more activity on rallies than on declines. It Is said from an independent source that E. H. Harrltfisn last week expressed him self as bullish on Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, which squares with the market theory that the Harrlman Interests have been the mainstay of the bull side of the market.
