Vetoed the G. a. II. Bill.

LANSING, May 30.--Gov. Winans has
vetoed the bill appropriating $50, 900 for
the entertainment or veterans attending
the G.. A. Il. encampinent at Detroit In
August. His objections TO the bill are
based on the ground Of public policy and
justice to the taxpayers" He says:
The bill proposed to take money earned
by the hard hand of labor and saved by the
economy of patient W ives and mothers and
use il for a social entertainment and
general good time. Not one in a hundred
of the people who are forced to contribute
will participate in the pleasures of the oc-
casion. A political convention or the
Presbyterian general assembly, now
gathered in Detroit would be equally en-
titled TO state aid. On no principle of
right or justice can this use OF the peoples
money be defended. We are here as
the servants of the people and l am fully
convinced that if the proposition to vote
this money had been submitted TO them 20
votes would have been cast against it to
one for il. No public purpose is to be
subserved by the expenditure. The money
is taxed from the hard earnings OF the
people, already Justly complaining OF OPP
pressipe taxation, any measure which I'M
necessarily adds q feather weight 70 this
Duruen Is d great WiOnS' anu HlOro cSPOOl-
ally when done by those whom the people
trusted and who promised to relieve and
protect their interests by more economical
legislation. II The sum appro-
priated, if saved to the treasury, will de-
fray the total cost of this legislature for 80
days or more In former communication
expressed 10 you my belief that our fdel-
ity to the interests and rights of the people
will be the measure Of our success, and
that every request for public aid should be
sternly denied unless needed for public
purpose. In behalf of the taxpayers OF
this state earnestly and respectfully urge
that you reconsider your acton in this
matter" Judge Miner has had the veto
referred to the house judiciary and state
affairs committee aud IL will be sprung as
soon as there is full house.

DETROIT, June Edward b. Douglass,

two years ago 10 Grace Hamlin, aged IL
years, at Bedford. O. They lived with
the girls parents until 10 weeks ago. when
her father, &. n. Hamiin. removed TO

could not find employment and sent his
wife 10 her parents. Subsequently he
followed her and stayed for two weeks.
Then Mr.. Hainlin turned him out. Last
Friday evening Douglass returned and
asked TO see his wife, but his request was
refused. Sunday morning Mr.. Harnlin
unlocked his Woodshed door and found
Douglass dead and dangling from
the ceiling at the end of a clothes line. He
had tied his feet together while sitting on
a step-ladder, fastened his hands behind
his back and then kicked the step-ladder

Report OF the Committee Which In
vestfgated the Industrial Home.


LANSING. May 3O.-The senate special
committee consisting of Gilbert. Mines,
Mugford, Porter and Morrow has present
ed the report of tneir investigation into
the alleged abuses at the industrial school
at Adrian, where Miss Scott is superin-
tendent, and state that the difference Of
opinion between Miss Scott and the local
member of the board, John T. Mason, has
caused a bad feeling in the school. The
report continues:
I'VE find the management relating to
punishment extremely cruel, unwarrant-
ably unnecessary, and also the ayowed
policy of the superintendent. AS for in
stance we found the case of two girls who
were placed in dark cellar for 20 con-
secutive days and nights with no furniture
other than IA bare plank and who were
kept on a diet OF bread and water. We
lind when girls become boisterous or
violent in temper, they were, by order Of
the superintendent, treated with hypo-
dermic injections of fluid, tho nature Of
which was unknown to the person admin
istcring the same. We found extreme
negligence in the case of girl who after
being an inmate of the home
for six months and while undergoing
Bug HlNdi SAOlAlAl0blOh dN an
epileptic was discovered to he suffering
from a loathsome disease. Questioning
brought out the information that she had
been under the treatment for this disease
for but one month previous to this time
and under the advice OF the attending ply
stefan, who gave directions for treatment
without knowledge OF the other than as
stated by the matron. 1T would seem to
the committee that disease of this
nature and of as long duration would have
excited deep professional interest and
great caution in the healment of this case
instead of the negligence shown. We find
extreme negligence in placing girls in
homes, without proper application, or
Endorsement by county agents. Forinstance
we found a girl returned 10 the home
in an unfortunate and delicate condition
and Immediately replaced by another girl
in the same home without further recon-
mendat.on or Endorsement. Among others
an application was shown tho committee
as the authority and recommendation for
placing a Rirl in a home in Lenawee
county, on the back Of which appeared the
Endorsement OF the county agent but
upon the opening OF this particular blank
form there was found within nothing
but the printed blank form used
for filing applications at the home.
Neither the name or location Of
the family, name OF the girl or information
Of any kind was expressed therein"
The board winds up its report by advo-
eating the dismissal OF Miss Scott and the
employment of a man and wife TO run the
school and call the attention of Gov.
Winans 10 the report by sending him a
copy.
Miss Scott, the superintendent has
demanded an immediate investigation of
tho affair

Rain and Heat Needed.

Reports TO the Michigan weather bureau
indicate that the weather cond tons Of the
past week have been too cold and dry for
the favorable growth OF the crops; the
wheat and grass have made the most pro
gress. Corn is coming up slowly, and the
crop is about all planted now. Cut worms
are vigorously attacking the corn in the
extreme southern section. The frosts OF
the 9th made a deep cut into strawberries,
beans, grapes and all early vegetables, but
no reports of injured fruit trees have been
received this week. More rain and
warmer weather are much needed to bring
the crops forward. as the continued cold,
dry weather has retarded all crops TO d
considerable extent and prevented the
average growth OF tho season.

IsIt Another Murder 2

ver, a widow As years old, was found on
Thursday morning last lying dead or the
Sitting room floor Of her home in Climax,
where she lived alone. Her hands We're
tied with wool Irvine, which was also
wound several times around her neck. The
woman had not been seen since last Friday,
and ncighbors thought she had been visit
ing relations in Battle Creek. The body
was in condition indicating that she had
been dead several days. A jury was sum-
nsOned at once by the justice and viewed
the remains. The body when found was
lying on it's left sidc being badly dis
cuiored and bruised. MARKS Of violence
were also found and one leg was drawn
under the body indicating that struggle
had taken place. DIR. o. +. Soeley testi-
fed that the woman had died apparently
of strangulation and had probably been
dead several days. Henry Childs tried TO
demonstrate to the jury that one could tic
the hands in similar manner and could
afterward bind cord around his own
neck. After looking over the house the
Jury adjourned pending further develop
ments. The case is probably one of foul
murder though some persons hold the
suicide theory.
