Stole His Grip,

About July l3 a travelling man by the
name of l.. O. Johnson, representing A.
y. Morrill, & 90. of SO Michigan ave. ,
Chicago stopped over night at the Hotel
Arcadia and from here ant TO st. Louis,
leaving his grip at the LJtel in Alma.
Later he telephoned Mr. Ferris, the
landlord, to take the grip to the train
and send il to him by the brakeman.
Mr.. Ferris did so, but when the train
arrived in ST. Louis there was no grip TO
be found and the brakeman asserted that
he left it in the car in care of travelling
man who promised TO deliver it to the
right party. 1t was alleged that the
grip or case contained six boxes of
cigars, some underclothing, $50 in cash,
and check, made payable to bearer, for
500. 1t was supposed that travelling
man had taken the grip and the Pere
Marquette detective was put onto the
case with the result that he collected
sufficient evidence TO cause the arrest of
the brakeman the first of the week. 1t
was found that the brakeman took the
grip to Bay City where he broke 1t open
aud after taking out whatever contents
that were of value, rechecked the grip 10
Grand Rapids. The brakeman gives his
name as William l.. Eckark and his
home in Grand Rapids.

Set Lines Defined.

There seems to be a Misunderstanding
among the fishermen of the state as 10
what constitutes a set line, the use OF
which is prohibited by law, and in order
that all may understand how the Off.

Morse has announced the ruling Of his

within the meaning of the law, is any
line in use for the purpose of catching

the immediate control of the party using
it, This would include bobs, tip-ups,

PLEA FOR
Attempt to Throw the Turnerbund In
to a Political Contest.

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-The feature
of to-day's session of the convention Of the
Northern American Turnerbund was a
speech by A. Vahlteicht. Of Chicago. for
merly a Socialist member of the German
Reichstag. Mr.. Vahlteicht appealed 10 the
convention TO place itself on record as be-
ing in active sympathy with the principles
of Social Democracy. Philip Andres. or
Nebraska, spoke against the idea OF bring
ing politics into the association, and Carl
Eberhardt. OF Boston. said he was a So
cialist, but thought il unwise for the Turn
ers to enter the field Of politics.
The discussion arose during the consid-
Grafton Of the platform as submitted In
the majority report. with several amend
ments.
The convention was still considering the
platform at the hour OF adjournment late
tonight. 1t required considerable amend-
ment on account OF the political planks In
serted by the Socialist element The clause
committing the organization TO the uppor
of Social Democracy was eliminated and n
substitute adopted placing the society in
the possession of absolute neutrality as
regards politics. A clause TO amend the
constitution admitting women to member
ship and giving them voting privileges was
killed, and admission OF women was left
optional.
A committee was appointed to select a
silver gold-mounted Tyre as a prize TO be
rendered TO the National Sangerfest TO be
held in Brooklyn from June 30 to July 4.
Turner'S arrived to-day from all parts OF
the country to participate I'm the conven-
ton.
