K-YOU-ENTER CARS CATCH EYE "OF MAYOR-ELECT IREIT MEYER RETURNS FROM CHICAGO MUCH IMPRESSED WITH SYSTEM-NOTHING DO ING ON APPOINTMENTS YET. Philip Brcltnieyer, mayor-elect, re urned to Detroit, Friday night, from i trip to Chicago, whtcn was partly or rent from the work of the cam talgn and jmrtly to lake lu the na lonal flower show That the three lay* wi re well spent Is shown by his ippeu ranee. The* mayor-elect was somewhat per urbed by the slates of prospective up- Kilntments that have b**eu made by various persons during his absence, le will confess to but one appoint* Uent settled, that is his privute secre uryshlp, which goes to Fred Van i 'leet, n former newspaper mail. "It is unkind and rea y nfair of nv friends to urge the matter of ap pointments on me now when the act ual making of these appointments* in Bo fat away,” says Ureittneyer. "1 shall not take up my appointments until after I take office. None of these positions has been considered yet. When 1 do take them up. It will be with the intention of getting the best men possible. 1 shull Judge by the rec ords and character of the men. Those who thought sufficiently well of me to elect nn\ should trust me to make good appointments.” The Chicago trip did not greatly in crease the mayor's alert's stock of knowledge regarding the street rail way problem. He called ut Mayor Busses office, but did nut find the lat ter in. He did bring back with him, hogre\er, a number of documents got ten out by the City of Chicago, dealing with the transportation ques tion. Oue of the florists who exhibits giant posies at the national show is an alderman of Chicago and some of the other florists told Breltineyer that they take nu active interest In poli tics, so that he did not find himself the sole horticulturist-politician of the show’. “The pay-as you-enter car are the proper system—no doubt of that,” ga DR.

The romunye Is laid on the Island of Nevis, the fasciuuting tropical beauty of whieh has been sung by Byain Warner, a i*>ei of struuge lyric power, but of question 'able morals. The heroine, Anne Per cy. is an English girl who learned to love the island through the poet's de seriptlons and to cherish in her im pressionable heurt the ideal ilgure of the poet himself. She is taken t« the island under the protection of uu aunt and falls readily In with plan* Ml OB foot for Warner's redemption. The inevitable love match between the hero and heroine develops. Mrs. Ath erton hus told a pleasing love story. The illustrations by C. Coles Phillips, and the general "make-up of the vol ume are excellent. tDoubl**day, Page Cos..

The scenery, topography and climate, the manners and char acteristics and development of the people, the history of the nation from the earliest times, its laws and their administration; these and many oth er Important things are Included In this excellent book. It Is a complete Norwegian manual for traveler or casual student or Inquirer. The many photographic Illustrations are Inter esting. (L. C. Page ft Cos., Boston; Mac auiey’s, Sheehan’s and Hudson's. De troit.) 'Waterloo," by Thomas E. Watson. In his thorough und Intelligent account of the three days’ struggle, Mr. Wat son gives a valuable work to litera ture. He analyzes the character of the generals In command; be describes in detail the positions occupied by the various bodies of soldiery, and com pares the relative strength and advan tage of the several positions; he searches, so far as may be. Into the motives and strategy of the two op posing generals, aud he discusses the spirit and character ot the two arm ies. The author's well-known brilli ancy and dash as a writer is shown at Its best in (bis volume. (Neale Pub. Cos., New York; Mac auley’s, Sheehan's, and Hudson's, De troit.) "With the Battleship Fleet,” by Franklin Matthews. The author was correspondent of the New York Sun with the battle fleet from Hampton Hoads to Sau Francisco, and made the Journey on board the battleship Louisiana. The book is composed of his letters to the Sun, while the Illus trations are by Henry Hheuterdahl, and first appeared In Collier’s Week ly. The book contains much Informa tion of value. Mr. Matthews is a trained newspaper man and no hu man Interest story has been overlook ed by him on the cruise from the Chesapeake to the Golden Gate. (B. W. Huebsch, New York; Mac auley’s Sheehan's aud Hudsou’s, De troit.) v i “Blue Peter," by Morley Roberts. This book Is made up of five short stories of the sea, written in the hu thor’s most pleasing tyle. It Is a rare thing to find an author who has both a knowledge of his subject and a sense of humor. All of the yarns Mr. Roberts spins are full of fun and sail or's dry humor. Nothing funnier than his "Overcrowded Iceberg” has ap peared in a long time. It is written In a spirit of genial exaggeration that Is laughter-compelling. (L. C. Page ft Cos., Boston; Shee han's, Macauley’s and Hudson’s, De troit.) “The Maison De Shine,” by Helen Green. The author continues In this book more stories of “The Actor's Boarding House," which she made fa mous in a former volume. Some of the old boarders figure in it and some new ones. The book Is bright and keen and smart as in the eurlier suc cess. It has several new features of interest. The dialogue is keen and Interesting, and the collection of stor ies, numbering more than a dozen, presents many features, most of them comic, of life at an actors' boarding house. (B. VW. Dodge Cos., New York; Sheehan’s, Macaulay's and Hudson’s, i Detroit.) "The Money Changers.” by Upton Sinclair. The second of the author'* stories on New York life. It deuis with conditions In Wall-st. and the big operators are very clearly drawn under thin disguises. Allan Montague is the hero, and he figures in many sen rational episodes. The most startling charge that Sinclair makes Is that the financial stringency which swept over the country last year was brought on by the big Wall-st. brokers and that* it nearly got away front them. The trull of graft Is over ull the book, and It extends from New York to Wash ington and thence across the country. The power of the author's style will 1 carry the reader along and hold his Interest to the last. (B. W. l»odge A Cos., New York; Sheehan's, Mavr>rr OKPHRRtt l>. IIIIUXUKH.

Murfiti may secure a re-election next spring with com j paratively little trouble. The two Democrats who were talked of last eprl.ig us the tocti likely candidates for circuit judge, Jam ?e H. Pound aud p. J. M. Hally, are not manifesting any I great eagerness to get Into the race. Pound, in fact, declares that he does not w ish to make the run. ”1 do not want to be circuit Judge.’ he says frankly, “because 1 teel that l am r.ot at the time of life where a man has the judicial rather than the active Interest In things. I believe In the old English theory that a judge should never return to practice. A Judgeship should be the crowning work of a man’s Mfe. He should be at the stage where he looks backward rather than forward. “For another thing, 1 would be con stantly overruled. I believe that there Is no wrong but should have its remedy, that a judge should be above the law in seekiug equity. The ver dicts that have been reached by su preme courts In certain cases where wrongs have been admitted, but the courts have said. 'We know* of no remedy,' dees not coincide with my view*. “I ran for the circuit bench once and was not returned the winner. I am glad of it. If 1 ever run again, it wlil be for a full term and cot for the fag-end of one.” The election next spring will be for the temalnder of the Judicial term of Judge Brooke, extending to 1911. President Roosevelt Sends His Sympathy WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 —President Roosevelt today sent telegrams to Mrs. Francis J. Heney. wife of the special prosecutor who was shot last night in San Francisco, and to Ru dolph Spreckels, the financier who is backtng Mr. Heney In his campaign. To Mrs. Heney the president wrote in part: “I hope you will accept my deep sympathy. Uke every good Am erican, I hold yout husband in pecu liar regard for the absolutely fearless way In which he has attacked and ex posed corruption without any regard to the political or social prominence of the offender or to the dangerous char acter of the work.” To Mr. Spreckels the president wrote: “Am inexpressibly shocked at the attempted assassination of Heney and most earnestly hope he will recover. The infamous character of the would be assassin, no less than the Infamous character of the deed, call attention In a striking way to the true charac ter of the forces against which Heney and you and your assistants have been struggling.” GERMANY’S EMPEROR THOROUGHLY VEXED BERLIN, Nov. 14.—Heedless of the warnings of the German Reichstag and the federal council of the German emperor, Emperor William la deter mined to uphold his personal power and to exercise Just as great a per sonal Influence in both foreign and domestic affairs in the future as he haa in the past. This momentous information reach ed the German capital today from an authoritative source and occasioned consternation in government circles where the belief had been entertained that the kalaer would accept the re sentment of his people and put a curb on his future activities. Beside hlmeelf with rage at the strictures made against him. the em peror is reported to have declared himself as follows to a group of cour tiers at the caatle of Prince Fueren stenberg at Eschingen, where he has been a guest for several days: "Despite everything. I shall go on my way as I see fit. It is not for the relchstag to dictate to me. It is for me to decide what is best for the fktherland.” CLEVELAND TRACTION TO KEEP FARES AT 3 CENTS CLEVELAND.

The receivers trill consult with Judge Tayler. and a change In the rate may be considered. The formal business of establishing the receivership must first of aU be disposed of.

Didn’t you tell the mayor that you couldn't get Mr. Garner to make re pairs?'* Mr. Toepel wa* asked. •'No." he answered. Mr*.

He said that people would refer to the fact that the mayor had called him a robber, and would refuse to give them work, and some con tracts were canceled. in reply to a question from Mr. Hal ly, Mr. Garner said it was true that he had cards printed, which he dis played on his work. The cards read as follows: “This walk built by Gar ner Bros., who are characterized by Mayor Thompson as robbers. Watch this walk, and if you want one like it phone R.” LIBERALS IN CUBA CLAIM TO HAVE WON HAVANA, Nov. 14. —Election (lay dawned bright, and the third contest 1 at the polls In the history of the Cu ban republic to elect a president promises to pass without any serious disturbance or disorder.

OFM. TO COST S3OOJOO ALUMNI’S GIFT ANNOUNCED AT MICHIGAN UNION BANQUET FUNDS SUBSCRIBED AND AR CHITECT INSPECTING THE SITE. ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 14.—Stu dent.* and faculty members of the Uni* verslty of Michigan were greatly pleased lan night at the }llchlguu Union banquet wheu Clarence W. Bar bour. representing the alumni of New York, announced that plans had beeu perfected and funds subscribed for j the erection of a $300,000 dormitory, with au immense commons, in Ann Arbor. \lr. Barbour said that the plans for the erection of the two buildings had been under consideration of eastern cap! tails is, some of whom are Michi gan graduates, for several months and that the announcement was made only after the funds and necessary land had been secured and the proposition ap proved by the university senate, which Is composed of the deans of the sev eral departments* President Angell and a limited number of faculty men. The proposition Is so assuredly a success that Arthur Dean, a leading architect of Chicago, formerly asso ciated with the firm of Rattau Col lege, which drew the plans for Chi cago university, Is in Ann Arbor now for the purpose of examining the prop erly preliminary to beginning on the pluus for the new buildings. Six-6tory Dormitory. The dormitory will be erected on the southwest corner of Williams and Maynard at s. It will be a six-story building capable of housing from 250 to 300 meu. There will I>e single rooms and suites, each provided with a bath, aud the prices to be charged will not be above the average now asked for rooms in private rooming houses. The structure will also contain lounging rooms and parlors, so that it will be a students' home in the true sense of the term. The commons, or dining hall, will be an Immense one-story building with a capacity of boarding from IKK) to I,*, 000 students. It will be located ou the north side of State, across from the campus. As nearly as possible, it will be modeled after the Harvard commons which Is known as one of the most famous college dining halls. This structure will cost close to $200,* 000. Following the banquet Dean Read, of the literary department. Regent Beal aud other member* of the fac ulty and board of regent* expressed themselves as heartily in f&ror of the plan. Banquet a Love-Feaat. The banquet was essentially a love feast for students and alumni and Its main purpose was to allow the pent up enthusiasm saved for the Pennsyl? vania-Michlgan football game to ex press itself. William Andrew McAndrewa, 'B6, who was toastmaster, after being In troduced by President Angell, paid tribute to the university’s venerable head. Mr. MeAndrews spoke upon the university and the progress it has made in recent years from the point of view of the old graduates. Clement M. Holderman, ’O6, spoke on the ‘’Home Coming,” or an old Michigan man. Marquis Eaton. ’97, president of the Hamilton Republican club of Chicago, Wept the students laughing with a lot of jokes. Mr. Eaton’s subject was somewhat serious, however. He spoke on “Little Frogs in Big Pools.” Prof. Henry C. Adams took "Suc cess” as the subject of his address and under it pointed the way for Mich igan’s future. Others on the program were Har low P. Davock, 73, who- spoke on “With the University in its Making.” Regent Chase S. Osborn, whose sub ject was “Michigan deportment,” and Albert D. Pearce who as the under graduate speaker responded to the toast, “The Undergraduate.” BURROWS DOESN’T LIKE FUSSY INAUGURATION WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Senator Burrows, of Michigan, thinks no great harm would come to the country If the elaborate ceremonies attendant upon the inauguration of a president of the United Btates should be elim inated aud a more simple program in stituted. Mr. Burrows made known his opin ion on this subject when he was ap proached by an interviewer who wished to know whether the senator thought the expenses of Mr. Taft's inauguration should be borne by the federal government or by the citizens of the District of Columbia. It costs about 160,000 to defray the expenses of the festivities, although a goodly portion of this usually comes back from the purchase of tickets for the big Inaugural ball and from con cessions few reviewing stands. Sena tor Burrows said that he had not given much consideration to the propo sltlon but that it could be answered by i doing away entirely with the preten tious ceremonies now surrounding the J investure of the presidential office.

While the fight to have the water board brought under the control of the mayor, council and board of esti mates, will be brought up in the legis lature again this winter, as It has be fore every legislature for ten years past, there is no likelihood that it will go through In Its entirety. A compromise is already being dis cussed by which the mayor will be given the power of veto over the acta of the water board In the same way that he lias over those of the school board. This would be a check upon possible extravagance and would not operate to hamper the board In neces sary plans for extensions. Commissioners Pendleton, Clipper! and Dodge are understood to be against the plan for compelling the vater board to submit Its estimates to the council and board of estimates. Their argument is that the water boaro has its separate revenues, and ihat its members have the best meani of knowing what future demands upon the water system will be and prepar ing for such ueeds. Commissioners Pound and Lemke are lined up the other way. George C. Scott, now collector in the water office, watf understood to hate beeD responsible for keeping the board's finances In control of the board when the matter was up before. He has been elected to the legislature again, and Is expected to be similarly active. INDICT COOPERS UNO J. D. SHARPE ASSAILANTS OF FORMER SENA TOR CARMACK ARE BEING HELD.

AMBASSADOR MAY LOSE POST AUTOCRATIC DIPLOMAT SAID TO HAVE SNUBBED MR. TAFT ONCE ON A TIME. LONDON. Nov. 13. —Unless Mr. Taft's pro-election prejudices have been changed his Inauguration may mark the departure from the diplo matic corps of Henry White, the pres ent ambassador to France. It is the gossip of the diplomatic club In Lon don and the continent that Taft once Informed a friend that if ever he was elected president It would please him to dispense with .Mr. White s ser vices as American ambassador. The cause of Taft s personal ilis like to White Is reported to lie that years ago, before Taft ever dreamed of becoming president, White snub bed Taft when the tatter was visiting London with Mrs. Taft. Among thu president-elect's Arst calls was one to the American embassy, where bo met White, theu the Arst secretary. White never returned that call. It is reported that Taft felt the sllglr keenly, often referred to it anti now may be human enough to want to see somebody else In White's ambassador ial position. As Ambassador White possesses a powerful political pull through Sena tors Lodge, Depew and the Vander bilt family, Taft may be Induced to forget and forgive the slight put upon him by the aristocratic American dip lomat. The undemocratic altitude or the average American embassy In Ku rope to any American under the rank of a United States senator is largely j attributable to the precedent set ny White. There are few embassies In Europe where the average citizen Is not received with a frigid hauteur that forbids a second call. New York reports that Whiteluw Held intends quittitft the diplomatic service are not believed here, where it is known that Mr. Held likes his post more than ever since his daugh ter has married Into the aristocracy. Only a position In the cabinet could tempt him voluntarily to quit diplo macy. His friends, however, fear that he Is too old for cabinet honors. Sen ator I>jdge, if he does not enter tho cabinet, might fancy the l,ondon am bassadorship. Nature’s Plans. "Nature plans well for mankinds needs.” "I should say so.
