MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS.
A Judicial Convention Held at Saginaw
TODAY

SAGINAW. Mich, September When
the republican judicial convention was call
ed to order here today it had become the
conclusion in many quarters that of the nine
candidates for the three nomination for the
state supreme court to be made by the con-
vention Judge P. F. Dodds of Mount Pleas
ant R. C. Ostrander of Lansing and Judge
j. H. Steere of Sault Ste Marie, were the
most likely to be successful. The friends
of number of the other candidates were
still active, however
The convention was called to order in
Arbeiter Hall. Moses Taggart of Grand
Rapids was temporary chairman.

our legislative bodies Is danger signal

EVANSVILLE, September I,

HIAIISNllILE, september 4, l3Of
Mrs. Charles r. Hutchinson and little
daughter have returned after a pleasant
stay with Mrs. Hutchinsons parents. Mr.
and Mrs. A. NJ. Day, Dresden, Maine.
9 A delegation of citizens and taxpayers
from Evansville held consultation with
Mayor Wells and Councilmen Owens, Dew
lin and Welsh last evening relative to the
extension of water and sewerage facilities
to that section of the town The officials
could give the delegation little encourage
ment for the reason that to reach Evans
Vile 1T would be necessary to lay a por-
ton of these pipes over long stretch of
unimproved property from which no reve-
nue. to the town would result for many
years.
A representative of a Washington cleo
trio lighting company will visit Hyatts-
Vile in a few days for the purpose of max
ing an estimate for furnishing both the
town and private consumers with current
The cost of maintaining the present sys-
tem of lighting is regarded as expensive.
and there is general sentiment in favor of
installing an electric lighting or gas plant
either by the town or by private parties
The question of increasing the water sup
ply In Hyattsville is a very prominent one
at this time 1t is generally recognized that
some increase will be necessary upon the
completion of the sewerage system now
installing. During periods of extremely hot
or cold weather there is an alarming search
ty of water, and II is the desire of the town
officials 10 remedy this matter as soon as
possible.

duty with the firmness that the position de-
mands, will necessarily create some en-
mites on the part of some of those over
whom he exercises supervision. The evil
dence disclosed that Stutler has done this
in very few instances-rnany less than
would be supposed in a service as long as
he has rendered in this position. Their
names need not be mentioned here They
designated themselves by their demea nor
as Witnesses and In the case of all but one
of them the Commissioners We're, or one of
them was. before the Investigation. ac-
quafnted with the supposed grievance these
had against Stutler.
I'm each case it cannot be doubted that
he took the action constituting the griev-
ance because he honestly thought it was
his duty to do SO in an impartial discharge
of the duties of his Office and to render the
service more efficient; but it appeared in
posed information upon which he based his
charges and specifications largely from
these men shaving a supposed grievance,
and that he conferred very slightly. If at
all, with any one else although there were
many others who could and would have
given him information
Robinson's Alleged Admission
Robinson frankly admitted that he sought
out one or more men whom he did not know,
but whom he understood to be enemies of
Stutler. His previous connection with the
STRENGTHENING contracts. and the facts
that previous to that he had similar con-
tract with the city of Buffalo, and that he
bid upon the machine-sweeping contract
now being performed by Rusk: that since
the expiration of his former contract, in
June, 1903, he has not been engaged in any
business, although he claims to have been
looking for some and that ne apparently
has no interests in Washington, all have
the tendency to create the impression that
he did not make the charges and undertake
the work of attempting to support them out
of pure personal disinterestedness and for
the public good, but rather in the hope that
he might in this way convince the powers
that be- that he could perform the duties
of contractor or superintendent enough
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-09-07

Detter than those now making the effort to
JUSTIFY the experiment of change If his
acuon pc not inspired by something of the
hinu IL is hard to assign a motive for it,
III seems strange, indeed. that none of
the responsible citizens of Washington have
joined IN these charges. The fact that
none or them have is another evidence that
there is nothing in them.
The fact that charges originated in the
way these were find absolutely no support
IN the evidence after most thorough and
painstaking investigation by the Commits
sioners entities Stutler not only to verdict
that the charges have not been sustained.
but also to declaration that the evidence
fully vindicates him from the aspersions
cast upon him by the charges"

senting $3.0O0.OOO in value and offered to
give bail for Nan Patterson. He had an
interview with the woman IN the tombs and

slider these reports. and especially so of
the one having charge of the street clean
Ing department, before acting upon them
1T is not to be presumed that the Com
missioners blindiy relied upon or adopted
Suffers arguments and opinions in favor
of hand cleaning and failed to investigate
and form opinions Of their own upon that
important matter. Such a superstition is
the equivalent of charge of incapacity or
neglect of duty on the part of the Com
missioners. Suffers report furnished them
which to form an opinion. and they doubt
less did so.
Concluding Statement.
'In conclusion it is respectfully submitted
that, although the Commissioners sent for
and had produced before them and exhaus-
lively examined every witness suggested by
Robinson, there has not been produced one
iota of evidence tending to establish any
one of the charges or specifications against
Stutler. but. on the contrary. the whole evil
dence shows. not. only an honest, but also
an efficient management of the street clean
ing department by Stutler. 1t must also
be borne in mind that his position is
most arduous and trying one. There is
large force of men, both employees of the
District and employees of the several con-
tractors, under his supervision and control.
These men are engaged in rendering serv-.
ices to the public. many of whom are
exacting, and ne stands between tn citi-
zen who complains and the Commissioners.
1t Is his duty, under the direction of the
Commissioners, to see that the public is
properly served on the one hand and that
the employees of the District and the public
contra ctors are not unduly or unjustly ha-
raised or dealt with. He has large num-
Der of subordinates, who exercise more or
less authority under him, and upon whose
action and reports he must rely and act

the so-calied reserve vote would seem to
average TWO democrats to one republican.
