gresham Esch, bought 1000 acres of land

decided to organize plantation COM
pany and did 50, taking 1926, 900 in
stock for the land. Some of the direct
ors have made endorsements to the
amount of $4,000, the main ones being
Henry A. Salzer and A. Platz. They
now demand that the notes be paid re-
fusiDg to longer carry them. They
threaten to foreclose. There is a first
mortgage of $4,000 that will have to
be cared for also. The company has
had hard skirmishing to get enough
money to keep running and pay interest.
A committee of ten stockholders has
been appointed to raise $50, 900 on first
mortgage bonds. and if this can be done
it will carry the company through, as
Messrs. Salzer and Platz have agreed to
carry their $4,000 Endorsement in

SAYS SUPREME COURT
AUTHORIZED RELEASE
Warden of Marquette Prison Denies
Stories Regarding Milwaukee
Hotel Thief.

Marquette, Wis, Aug. 25.-[SpeciaI.l
James Russell, warden of the branch
state prison here, denies the limitations
that Lawrence Grizzard sentenced at
Grand Rapids in 1903 under the indeter-
inmate sentence law, was released ''in-
discriminatory and secretly" as charged
in press dispatches. On the contrary
the man was liberated by order of the
supreme court of the state. Grizzard,
who has achieved considerable notoriety
as a thief, with hotels as the principal
scenes of his operations, was recently ar
rested in Milwaukee and was given a
term of eighteen months there. It was
not known at Grand Rapids that he
man had been liberated from the Mar
quette prison and the fact of his Mil
waukee trouble was learned with much
surprise, the conyict's release from the
Michigan institution being pointed to as
a possible evil of the practice of secretly
paroling prisoners recently adopted by
the state board.

occupation. They will be able to pay
their way through for this education
by furnishing their food and clothing.
Though my work appears to be in Ko-
lar, the conviction is deepening that [
am not laboring for that field alone,
but for all Of India and China"

A shop has already been established
and large amount of American tools
furnished by manufacturers. Freight
on this will amount to several hundred
dollars and Mr.. HOLSTER proposes to

this money together with other sums.
He is also asking for prayer circles in

needs" Mr.. Hollister continues. Pray
ers must be offered, the trend of enlarg-
ing work modified and fixed. Make that
month of special pleading. The help
so far is marvellous"
Native Helpers Secured.

cured. Mr.. HOLSTER wrote the letter on
board the Steamship Egypt on August

it at Port Said on August 9. Mr.. Hol-

General Sturdevant has rendered an
opinion at the request Of the city at

pass an automobile ordinance or resolu-

for in the state act, but these regula tons
must not in any way contrayene the
state law recently passed. The matter
has been considerably discussed of late
throughout the state, the question be-
ing raised whether the new law takes
away the power of cities to legislate at
all on the question.
