Case of n Monroe Man.

Much interest centers in the forthcom-
ing decision Of the supreme court in the
case of Monroe man who was convict
ed of violation of the pure food law.
His defense was, and the fact was con-
ceded by the prosecution, that he sup
posed that the goods were pure when he
purchased them and that he sold them
I'm good faith. The trial Judge was not
disposed to find him guilty under these
circumstances but did so under protest
In order that case might be got before
the supreme court. If the court holds
that guilty knowledge 10 a necessary
element of guilt under this law, even the
friends of the law admit that IL cannot
be enforced as every person accused of
violating 1t would plead good faith and
there would be no way of proving to the
contrary.
1t is generally conceded that Governor
Pingress disposed of the Professor Bemis
bugaboo, which has been bothering a
number Of good people sorely for num-
Der of months, most happily when he
appointed ex-Mayor Joseph l.. Cox, OF
Battle Creek, commissioner of labor.

or Will come IN for a pruning at the
hands of this committee. but those which
VIII be cut the most are the upper
peninsula hospital at Newberry, the
Home for the Feeble Minded at Lapeer
and the state fish commission. The two
institutions named are asking for very
large appropriations for new buildings
and these will be badly slashed. The fish
commission Is asking for much larger
sum than In former years, but the men,
bers can congratulate themselves IL
they get as much as two years ago, to
say nothing of any advance.
The passage finally OF the resolution
appropriating $500 for a Michigan ex-
hibit at the Tennessee centennial ex-
position was a great surprise. The house
has several times voted adversely on the
measure, and even on the morning of
its passage had refused, by decisive
vote, to take it from the table. The
commissioners appointed by Governor
Rlch can be depended upon to get the
best possible results for the state, but
there are many who doubt the ex-
pediency or making such an exhibit.
Determined Warfare.
1t has developed within the past few
days that determined warfare is to be
made on express and telephone compan-
les. One bill pending in the senate pro-
vides for the increase Of the specific tax
paid by express companies to per cent.

another increases it to per cent. There
is little doubt that the present revenue
Of the state from this source will be
greatly increased. Senator Warner re-
Gently introduced a resolution instruct
ing the attorney general to proceed
against express companies to collect
taxes, which it is claimed they have
been avoiding for some years This
claim grows out of the fact that the
companies have been paying on the
gross collections within Michigan, in
stead of on their gross business in the
state, all interstate business being ex-
cluded. The present rate is per cent,
| and the amount paid has been about 49,
600 per year. According to Senator
Warmers resolution. the revenue from
this source should have been between
| $4,000 and $4,000, and it is this differ
| ence that he wants the attorney general
| to proceed to collect. His resolution
went to a committee which is looking

bill provides that all articles used in

victs by hand, nothing more than hand

outskirts Of the city yesterday morn
ing The circumstances of the case are
peculiar. Hill and companion named
Charles Basmere had started out hunt
ing, both carrying rifles About 10
o'clock Basmere came in and notified q
police officer that Hill had shot himself.
Basmere claimed that Hill was walking
along holding his rifle before him with
the muzzle pointing towards his body
when the trigger caught against log,
discharging the weapon and killing him.
The officers went out and found him
dead with a bullet hole in his abdomen
and a rifle lying by his side. They also
noticed that Hills clothes were unbut-
toned and thought it very peculiar as
the weather was very chilly. The body
was brought 20 the city and examined
by physicians, but no bullet hole could
be found in the clothes. A coroner's
jury has been empaneled and the case
will be thoroughly investigated. Bas-
mere has been placed under arrest.
