Doinrs i'm the Legislature.

LANSING, March 1.-The bill passed both
houses providing for reregistration of all
voters previous to the spring election this
year, but before 1t reached the governor 1t
was decided that political interest was so
latent at this time that 1t would have a
tendency to decrease the vote for supreme
Justice as great number would not take
the trouble to register. Therefore the bill
was called back to the senate and referred
to the judiciary committee, where 1t will
be allowed to die. A bill repeating the
law allowing Roman Catholic bishops to
hold property in trust for the benefit OF
the church had q favorable committee re-

pearing on more than one ticket on the

SENSATIONAL ELIMINATION TO THE
TROUBLE IN DETROIT.

The Appointees of the Governor Secure the
Take Forcible Possession of the Health
Department Building.
DETROIT, March 5.-Detroit's health
board row eliminated in a sensational
scene, the result of which is that the old
health board, appointed by Mayor Pin
gree. is ousted from the health depart
ment's building, while the new board, APP
pointed by the governor under the law,
enjoys full possession of the premises.
The new board was advised by City
Counselor Speed that it was entitled to
possession. Later a request was addressed
TO the police commissioners asking the
corporation of the police in protecting
the new board in obtaining its official
rights. After taking legal advice the pc.
lice authorities decided to furnish the
protection desired The four members of
the new board, with Police Captain Mar
tin, DR.. S. p. Duffield, the new health
commissioners, Sergeant Andrews and sew
eral patrolmen and reporters proceeded to
the health department building.
Two watchmen were inside the health
building. When the reporters knocked
for admission the door opened and all
rushed in, taking the watchmen by sur
prise. Health Commissioner Mcleod
(appointee of the Pingree board) was tel
ephoned for. When he reached the
building he refused to give up his keys or
tell the combination of his office safe.
After long discussion over the merits OF
the case he was forcibly led out of the
building by policeman. The new
board left several patrolmen and one or
two old employees in charge of the build.
ing for the night. Mayor Pingree and
DR.. Mcleod are harsh in their criticisms
of the police for assisting in what they
allege was highhanded outrage. In.
junction proceedings were begun against
the old board, but the new turn of affairs
will leave the burden of the fight upon
the old board.
