Attorney General Objects to Dis
missing the Case of
Gen. Marsh.
SAYS PARDON is INVALID.
Granted without Due Process of
Law-NO Sentence on Which
1t Operates.

Attorney General Oren Tuesday
afternoon filed in the supreme court
demurrer to the plea OF Gen. A. F..
Marsh-who was pardoned last week
by Gov. Pingree while his appeal
from his conviction in the circuit
court on the charge OF completely in
the state military frauds was pend
ing--the said plea being for dismis-
sal OF the case against him and the
discharge OF himself and his bonds
men. Mr.. Oren claims that a plea
based on pardon only is insufficient
The demurrer alleges that the
pardon is void because it was not
applied for through the state pardon
board and, further, because there is
no machinery to take Marsh into
custody again in case OF refusal on
his part to pay the $1,000 fine i'm
posed by Gov. Pingree as condi
tlon to the pardon.
The demurrer alleges, further,
that If the pardon and conditions
are valid, it is necessary for the
circuit judge to proceed to sentence
before it can become operative, as
at present there is 40 sentence for
it to operate on.

Much Damage to Wheat Re-
ported in Michi-
gan.
FOR THE WHOLE STATE
Its Condition Put at S2-Fall
Pasture Has Been
Good.

The Michigan crop report for De-
cember, issued Monday, says:
"The weather has been variable
during the last month, in fact just
what could be expected during No
vember. The temperature has been
just about normal, while the precipi-
tation has been one and ne-half
inches above the normal This wet
weather has not been favorable to
harvesting sugar beets and husking
corn. About the usual amount of
stock is being fed in the state. Many
correspondents continue to report
that much damage has been done by
the Hessian fly.
''The condition of wheat, as com
pared with an average, is 81 in the
state, II in the southern counties,
80 in the central counties, and 95 in
the northern counties. The reports
vary as to the damage done by the
Hessian fly. Some fields look well,
while many show plainly the dam
aye that has been done.
"The total number Of bushels of
wheat reported marketed by farmers
in November at the Touring mills is
III ,3O5, and at the elevators, 9S,9l2,
or a total of 269, ,947 bushels. or
this whole amount 1Sl ,307 bushels
were marketed In the southern
counties, 74,234 bushels in the CEN
trail counties, and II, 406 bushels in
the northern counties. The total
number of bushels of wheat reported
marketed in the four months, August
November, is 1857, 1868, which is
1,294, OBS bushels less than reported
marketed in the same months last
year. At AZ mills and elevators
from which reports have been re-
ceived there was no wheat marketed
in November. The total amount of
wheat shipped by railroads from the
various stations as reported for
October is 6l8. .903 bushels.
"The condition of live stock
throughout the state is fair. In
some counties considerable live
stock is being fed. There are re-
ports that the swine plague is pre-
vailing in certain sections, and there
has been some loss, also, from other
causes. The condition of horses,
cattle and swine is 81, and of sheep
96.
'In most parts of the state fall
pasture has been good, the condition
for the state being 100.

AFTER CORPORATIONS.
Legislature Convenes i'm Special
Session on Governors
Summons.
TAXATION THE PROBLEM.
Bill Introduced to Tax Cor
pOrate Property on
Cash Basis.

For the third time in two years
the state legislature convened at
Lansing Wednesday in special ses-
sion called by Gov. Pingree. The
consideration of-a measure taxing
railroads, telephone, telegraph and
express companies, and other forms
of corporate property on the cash
value of their property instead of
specifically upon their earnings, as
under the present law, is the object
of the session.
Representative Cheever, Of De-
troit, introduced the tax bill. 1t
provides that the state tax commits
sion shall constitute board of as
SCISSORS, and all franchises and
tangible property shall be taxed as
well as physical property.
After the reading of the gov
ernor' S message a taxation bill was
noticed in the house, but formal
presentation was deferred until
Thursday.
As noticed, the bill provided only
for the taxation of railroads, notice
being given, too, of another bill to
cover the othe: forms of corporate
property.
Wednesday night, however, the
railroad bill was redrafted so as
to include express, telephone and
telegraph companies in its pro-
visions.
1t is predicted that the bill will
not pass the senate If it does the
house.
