Judge Longs Pension.
m the State Republican.

From the State Republican.
So much has been said by the democratic
press in substantiation of the Cleveland
Smith order chopping off Justice Charlie:
ID. Longs name from the pension roll, anC
claiming as reason that the re-rating wa:
railroaded through by Commissioner Tan.
ner out of pure friendship, that W.R. Bates,
private secretary to Senator Jas. Mcmillan,
unfolds little tale that shows the transac-
tiOn was not only entirely creditable to Mr..
Long, but shows thoroughness on the part
of the commissioner before granting the re-
rating.
"While in Washington one day, shortly
before the increase was granted" says Mr..
Bates, 81 received telegram from Judge
Long. He was in New York and inquired
If l was to be in town, as he thought of
coming over to spend Sunday with me. He
did come and l met him at the Arlington.
He at once sent for porter to assist in re-
moving his clothing and to dress his wound.
He had had hot ride from New York and
his clothing was literally saturated with the
discharge from the wound. His underwear
was stiffened with it even to his stockings.
After it had been dressed he called me to
come and look at it. Although had known
Judge Long good many years, had never
up to that time seen this wound. The
appearance of that great, gaping aperture
never left me all night. l had the night
mare for hours after 1 retired. Even yet
can see that wound, with its circle of red,
inflamed flesh about it.
was chatting with the Judge about it the
next morning and asked him how much
pension he was getting. He told me. said
to him, why do you not apply for larger
amountp He told me then something
about the history of his pension. When the
amount he was then receiving was granted
he accepted it, although he thought it was
not as much as he should in Justice be
granted. In taking it, however, he had
filed with the department written protest
in which he stated its insufficiency and asked
greater sum. In discussing the matter
with me, he expressed the opinion that he
had no show for more. / said to him, Let
us 90 up and consult the commissioner and
see what he says
Somewhat reluctantly the Judge consented
to do so. l introduced him to Mr.. Tanner,
who said he would be unable that day to
discuss the matter, as he had appointments
which would consume all his time, but
made an engagement with Mr.. Long for the
next morning. The Judge called the next
day at the hour specified. The commits
sioner. assisted by two experts whom he
summoned from the Office, examined all the
papers In the case. l remember that Mr..
Tanner read with interest the protest fled
by Mr.. Long when the former pension was
granted. The commissioner commented on

Notice.

In reply to the published notice of my
former business partner, Mr.. Geo. K. Ingle,
desire to inform any of my friends who
might possibly be misled thereby, that |
entered into a partnership with Mr.. Ingle
whereby was to furnish practically the
whole capital, 81, 200, and he the business
experience. 1t soon became evident to me
that the partnership was not one that would
be of any profit to me personally and as l
had put in but 1878 of the 81, 900 and if L
continued in the business longer would have
to put in the balance or $685. on the first day
OF June, l determined to dissolve the part
nership and Withdraw from the business
and did so with little less than l put in,
leaving Mr.. Ingle with the business as 1
found it when L went in. L then went to
Chicago to find employment and while there
learned of Mr.. Ingle's charges against me,
and returned to Owosso and offered to settle
my contract obligation with him on what l
considered fair and even generous terms,
but Mr.. Ingle refused to settle, except l
pay him $356.30.
Being obliged to return to Chicago
to accept position there, | left the matter
with my father to settle as best he could
My father offered to pay Ingle $3.50 as a
settlement of the partnership contract, but
lhBiO iCluoCu IL uClitJucu RoOO
said if he did not pay that amount he would
publish me. Failing to get money out of
my father by such means, Mr.. 1ngle has
sought to injure me by publishing the
matter referred to, and by writing letters to
my employers here in Chicago seeking to
have me discharged.
In conclusion, put into the business in
cash 1915 and drew out in all, during the
five months we were together. S456 20
making $Sl.30 for my five months work.
MIR. Ingle drew out for personal use and to
pay personal debts, 1920. He put in no
money but1 one note of S11.00 the bank
would not take and some odds and ends of
castings and machinery, worth perhaps $50
all told, which deducted from S226 leaves
SIG, the amount withdrawn by him in eX-
cess of what he put in. The good will of
the business he has still, whatever that may
be worth. l never had any of Mr.. Ingle's
money and have only tried to save my own.

VAN HOTEN'S FRUIT FARM.
Where the Finest Fruits Sold by Saginaw
Dealers Are Raised


Dealers Are Raised
Saginaw has of late years become CEN
ter Tor the shipment of fruits. A gentleman
from this place had occasion to visit
the berry farm of j. K. Van Hoten, Burton,
ana found 1t one of the very finest in the
state.
Mr. Van Hoten began the raising of ber-
ries II years ago on nine acres of land and
now has very pretty place, with good
buildings, arranged and kept in most
orderly manner. His residence Is large and
commodious and model of neatness. The
land Is nnderdrained and kept with such
care that the yield of fruit was 100 bushels
or raspberries from two acres, all of which
brought the highest market prices be-
cause of the first-class quality and very
large standard measures, of which all deal
ers strive to get in order to please their pa
irons.
MIR. Van Hoten inspects every case of
fruit personally and the public has recog-
nized the fact that fruit bearing his name
gives entire satisfaction. His fruit is always
In eager demand and meets ready sale all
over the state. Burdick & Moore, who
were sole agents for several years, catered
to the finest city trade, such as the Bancroft
and families desiring highly favored fruit.
ID. Il. Burdick, 1245 Baum street, has
handled Mr.. Van Hoten's fruit for him in
this city for the last three years and has had
such a demand for this fruit that he has
been unable to fill orders.
Mr.. Van Hoten expects his farm to meet
increasing demand for the coming season
which goes to show that honest standard
measures and first class fruit does not 90

1t as being very clear presentation OF the
matter very thoroughly at this time, giving
1t an exhaustive personal examination, but
declined that day to decide the case, as he
wished to consult an expert of the law divi-
sion of the bureau. He expressed himself
as being certain as to the justice of the APP
plication for re-rating, but he wished, he
said, to be absolutely sure of his position
from the legal standpoint. He made another
appointment for the next day, and in the
presence of an old and experienced member
of the law division the papers were again
thoroughly examined, and within short
time the pension under the new rating was
allowed.
''The facts in the case, so far as Judge
Long was concerned, showed that wherever
he went he was obliged to have the assist
ance of some person every day to care for
his wound, as it had to be dressed two OF
three times day. There may be some
little technicality in the case that may have
been overlooked, but the fact is that, to my
personal knowledge, the matter of the APP
plication was most carefully gone oyer. II
was through my urgency that the judge con-
scented to become an applicant for an in
crease, he believing, although he thought
himself entitled to it, that it would do no
good to make further application. My ac-
ton was due to the great impression which
sight for the first time of the injury from
which he suffers made on me. AS l told
him, wouldn't have it on me for $1,000
