THE oARNlsHEE BILL.
Reports That Money ls Being Used
for and Against II.

Lansing, Mich, March 8.-There are
all sorts of rumors to the effect that
money is being used in connection
with Rep. Nevins' garnishee law
amendment bill, and, as one result,
the house judiciary committee has
pigeon-hoed the bill for a while at
least, pending a quiet investigation.
One of the prominent members Of
the committee said Thursday: 1--WE
hear reports that money is being used
by both the pushers and the opponents
of the bill Ii would look to me as
though the friends of the measure are
in better position to spend money
than the labor men. The reports about
money being used by either side are
rather indefinite ana vague"
Paul Marin of Grand Rapids, secre-
tary of the State Federation of Labor,
said that, although he had been as
sured the Nevins bill would be report
ed out by the judiciary committee, the
representatives of organized labor had
practically concluded TO quit fighting
it in the legislature and concentrate
their efforts on Gov. Bliss with a view
to having him veto the measure.
Rep. Nevins said yesterday: 81
never heard until this noon that there
was any talk that money is being used
for or against my garnishee bill. There
is absolutely no truth in these reports
so far as | know, and | believe | am
in a position to know whether such
rumors nave foundation in fact. These
stories are being circulated by op-
ponents of the bill in efforts to have
the bill tied up in the judiciary com
mittee."

Secrets TO Avoid.

Glasgow, March 12.-Mr. John Har-
ward Biles, professor of naval archi-
lecture at the University of Glasgow,
in the course of a lecture last evening
said: Great Britain has always been
several years behind America in yacht
construction. The problem is to re-
duce weight without reducing
strength. The plea that British yachts
have to cross the Atlantic has done
duty as an excuse too long. Develop
ment has been steadily in the direc-
ton Of lighter bulls and more sail; but
we are yet behind the Americans. The
evil of secrecy surrounding the con-
ception and construction of British
challengers is perhaps necessary to
prevent the abstraction of secrets, but
they are secrets which. if another
knew them he would only regard as
things to avoid

Grove when he bought the horse
which figured in the kidnapping.
"They arrested me because it had
come to a showdown and the police
had to do something" said Callahan.
There had been so much talk that
they felt that they had to do some
thing, and l happened to be the victim.
Now they will go ahead and try to put
it on to me, Just to secure the reward;
but if | am given a chance to get at
my testimony | will come out and
show myself to be innocent as any
man living.
GAS | have said before, the police
don't want Grove. They want to wait
until they have tried me. Then If |
am convicted they will still let Pat
Grove alone. However, think that If
l am acquitted, Grove will come in,
as he will then have nothing to fear.
