High SchooI-University.

The report that has some circulation
in Owosso that our High School is not
in good standing at the Michigan Uni
versity, has no foundation of truth and
is annalicious misrepresentation.
Prof. A. S. Whitney, of the Univers.
ity, who has charge of the diploma
schools, told me last week that our
High School is in good standing at the
University, and if it were not, it would
not be on the three year list. I have
letters in my possession to the same
effect.
Respectfully,
j. w. SIMMONS,
Supt. Schools.

Resignation Requested.

Mayor Parkill called special meet
ing of the council Tuesday evening to
take some action with regard to the
alleged shortage of city clerk Fred Ed
wards. The mayor explained that pend
ing an investigation, the books, papers,
stubs, reports, ETC., should be in the
hands of someone else than the person
accused. 1t was suggested that the
books be placed in bank, scheduled
and drawn out one at a time when
needed. Various suggestions were
made and finally the mayor suggested
that the clerk be requested to resign,
pending the investigation, believing it
would be best for the clerk and the
council and safeguard the interests Of
ALL do as would be done in any private
business. The suggestion was favored
by the council and resolution being
offered requesting the city clerk to re-
sign was passed by vote of to 9, AID
Washburn and Campbell voting against
it.
Mr.. Edwards has not resigned and
will probably not do so. but will check
up the books to find out for himself as
to the accountants claim of a $4,000
shortage. There is little doubt that if it
finally appears that there is shortage
but that it will be promptly paid in full
by Mr.. Edwards. The city is protected
by bonds given by the American Bond
ing Company, and which cover the full
time covered by the audit and on which
the company is liable for ten years.

fed Frank p. Snow, a carpenter, yes
terday morning in Judge Trasks de-

explained why he asked a divorce from
his wife on the ground of cruelty.
Statutory grounds were the real ones

just enough cruelty was shown TO

Snow was granted decree. The stat

Frank p. Snow and Lena r. Snow
were married in the east eighteen years
ago and came to California short
time later. Snow started work as q

toes to make them soggy so that her
husband would not eat them, and too
much salt in the meat and too much
grease in the cakes so that he wouldn't

The following letter. said to have
been written by Mrs. Snow to Cams,
was produced in court and went far
to substantiate the charges:
Dearest Heart, do you know how
you comfort me with your precious
nearness? 1t fills me with happiness.
How 1 want to see you. have al

Sweetheart, 1 wonder what their plan

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PLANS
ONE FOR BIG RESORT
Proposed Location lie at Atlantic City,

seven-MiIe Promenade-Los An-
qeIes Representatives Go East

Frank Virgins, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, and G. L. Will
son started last evening for Atlantic
City, N j., for the purpose of investi-
eating the feasibility of establishing
a Southern California exhibition SINH
lar to that at Shasta Springs, only on
a larger scale.
Secretary Virgins said last evening:
1.-The proposed exhibit has been UNI
der consideration by the exposition
committee, of which A. B. Cass is the
chairman, for some time" Secretary
Virgins visited Atlantic City three
wears ago and was favorably inn
pressed with the outlook and has been
awaiting an opportunity to make def
mite arrangements for an exhibit.
The location of the proposed exhibit
is on the celebrated board walk, seven
miles long and 100 feet wide.
"This place was visited last year by
$500 900 people, which was greater
than the attendance at either the
Portland or Buffalo exhibitions. The
better element of people visit that
place and / feel very favorably i'm
pressed with the outlook of the ex-
hibit.
IF the conditions prove favorable
the exhibition will probably be opened
in May. We expect to return in about
ten days"
