Justice calls Appearance OF Young Woman
"a Theatrical Display"
The appearance Of a paIlid young woman

tai attendants, with a trained nurse at her
side. csused a stir In the Supreme Court at
Newark yesterday and led Chief Justice

There doesn't seem to be- any need for
a theatrical display in this matter"
The occupant OF the stretcher was Miss
Julie A. Eddey Of Newark, who was thrown
from a trolley car Of the North Jersey street
railway company on May rs, 1905.

FIGHTING BOB HAD THE FACTS.
A HIrhartO Untold story Shows That He
Speaks by the Book.
Hdrper's Weekll

From Hdrper's Weekly.
The naval review at Oyster Bay, because
N was commanded by Admiral Robley d.
Evans, perhaps recalls an incident Of the
Gpanish war which has not before been
written about. IL may be that its recital
at this time will help to show how accurate
a man il this officer. who has suffered some
what from a false conception Of his char
acter.
Admiral Sampson had determined to
be0in the war by the bombardment of
Havana, and on April 4. 1898, Evans, then
Captain, wrote a letter to the then editor
OF Hdrper's Weekly, containing this para
graph:
shall have the honor Of leading in the
Iowa, and when We open. at about 800 yards.
with Indiana close astern. IL those poor chaps
from the Maine don't giggle in their cOfins
10 will be q wonder.
This was the pregnant part of the letter.
Sampson was forbidden from Washington
to attack Havana, much to his disappoint-
ment and wrath. To one sitting at a dis
tance, not knowing Evans, and knowing
Of the proposed bo~mbardment only as a
rumor, the letter might nave seemed a
bit Of buster.
But after q few months chance put the
log book orthe New York, the flagship,
in the way Of the recipient Of the letter,
and there he read SIMPSONS order for the
b~ombardment OF Havana, giving the order
OF the ships and designating the distance
at which the firing should begin, precisely
as Evans had stated them in the letter.
But why go in to within 800 yards Of the
new forts, which were much more heavily
armed than the ships Of SIMPSONS fleet?
Months after reading the log book the
recipient Of the letter attended a dinner
given in honor Of Admiral Sampson.
The Admiral made there one OF the few
speeches Of his life, and in it he told the
reason-a reason characteristic of his
keen judgment and Of his holiness for
selecting 800 yards. He had found out that
q short time before the Spaniards had
m~omentarily awakened from their usual
torpor and had practised from the new
works, firing at floating targets. They had
noated these targets past their guns at
5000 yards.
Sampson at once concluded that they
supposed that he would attack at that
distance and quickly determined to 20 in
&C 800 yards, for, he explained, the Spanfards
having once fixed their sights for a target
5000 yards away would not be able TO
change them, hut would fire over his ships
until ne had dismOunted their heavy pieces
WITH his rapid FIRE guns. SO the chain was
reason for them. ~

A YEARS FIRE LOSSES.
worlds Gold output This var would Net
Pay Our Losses by Flames.

S@A 1~'s
We have in the United States n,SOo,-
600 buildings, valued at 81 500, o0o, 900,
or more than all the railroads in the country
put together. and Of all these just one ID
absolutely fireproof.' That one was built
in Chicago by the great insurance COM
panie s for a testing laboratory. There
are d Onominally freproof building.
Yet the M act ually fireproof building,
according TO Golfers, cost only IL per cent.
more than q building that would shrivel
up al the first breath OF an advancing fire.
In 1905, which was a normal year, we
spent $500, OOO, 900 for new buildings and
burned old ones to the value Of $500, OOO, 900.
We paid $500, 900 600 for fighting fire and
sle6. 900 900 in fire insurance premiums, Of
which we got back sos ,OO0. 900 from the CON-
panies in payment for losses. Hence il
cost us more to burn part OF our old build
inRs and protect the rest from burning
than il did to put up all our new ones. And
that was in a normal year:
This year is not normal. This year San
Francisco has raised the fire losses Of the
United States to $500. 900 900, sven IL We
do not let another city burn down between
now and next January. .
II we should burn up the whole OF our
bonanza wheat crop we should think the
country had suffered a calamity, yet 10 ie
doubtful whether that whole crop would
pay for the property We actually have
entire years gold supply would not pay
for q sixth Of Il. The entire gold produc-
ton OF the world would not come anywhere
near paying for IL all.
The $500, 900, 900 worth Of buildings which
We put up in a year to burn down would
oost about $3.50, 10000 II they were built
not to burn down. For the extra 5000 yOOO
We could save most Of the $500, 900, 900 we
pay In normal years for fires and FIRE pro-
lection. In other words, we should have
the equivalent OF another wheat or cotton
crop added every year to the national
wealth.

Samuel Gompers, president OF the Amer

last night that there was any trouble at the
meeting OF the executive council OF the
federation between him and Mitchell or
any OF the other leaders over his political
programme.
There Is absolutely no ground for these
statements he said. The utmost har-
mony prevailed at the council meeting
and Mr.. Mitchell and all the other leaders
were in full accord with me. There were
discussions, of course, and various ex-
pressions Of opinion, but we were in accord
as to methods and programme"
John Mitchell, who was present. said:

basis. for the statement that the council
was divided in policy or that | differed

A Grand Success.

The first concert by the Owosso Man
nerchor was held at the opera house last
evening. The audience filled the hal
and all were highly entertained The
society has about two hundred mem.
bers, the singers numbering thirty with
Louis Mueller as leader An overture,
1.-THE Bridal Rose was played by Tubbs
full orchestra followed by "Gott
Gruesse Dich," Good Greet Thee'') by
the Maennerchor. The singing was ex-
ceedingly fine and showed the effect of
careful training and good leadership.
Miss Nellie S. Westcott, soprano,
rendered "Chanson Provencale' in a
manner that brought hearty applause
from the audience and she responded
with an encore.
The Maennerchor then gave "Trink-
lied" after which Prof. VIM. Yunk,
violinist of Detroit, played the Fantaise
Militaire by Leonard and was repeated
ly encored. He is one of the finest
artists ever heard in the city.
The Maennerchor sang Heimkehr and
the orchestra played the concert waltz,
On the Beautiful Rhine, followed by
the Maennerchor in I'm Fruehling."
Miss Westcott sang THE Pansy, the
Clover and the Blue Bell and was COM
PEELED to respond to an encore. Miss
Westcott and Miss Peterson who played
her accompaniment were presented
with beautiful bouquets by the society
"Auf Der Yacht baritone solo

by j. A. Barrie and the chorus, and the
audience testified to its approval by
calling them back.
Prof Yunck then rendered Mendels-
sohn's Concerto, Adante and Finale and
followed it with two lively encores.
After rendering My Heaven on Earth
in German the Maennerchor gave Old
Folks at Home in English much to the
delight of those present.
The society will give other concerts
for the benefit of members and their
families later in the season and their
membership will undoubtedly be large

concert and the satisfaction of the large
audience which thoroughly enjoyed the
music.

Yes, Representative Ward did vote
against the bill providing for the in
spection of private banks. His objec-
tion to the bill was that it could not go
into effect for year and half after its
passage by the legislature and then only
in case of its being adopted by vote of
hepeople at the election next month.
The passage of this law would have
been of no immediate benefit to the
people of this county as the question
of itepsssage in the legislature was not
considered until after the date of the
closing of the Stewart bank Since
that time two or three private banks
in the county have been recognized as
state banks and it is understood at least
two others would be but for the fact
that capitalization of $50, 900 is re-
quired, which is a larger amount shan

The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1906-10-26

AS the campaign advances and the
election draws near. it is found that at
the close of each day John A. Watson,
republican candidate for sheriff, has
made new gains in public favor; has
added to the numbers of his supporters.
His campaign has been, and will con-
tinue to be, clean, straightforward,
one, just as it was expected he would
make. 1t has been hustling one, too,
which accounts for the good progress
made and the hold he has obtained on
the voters.
The people demand for this Office a
man of known business ability fearless
in the performance Of duty and of un-
swerving integrity, and they have found
in their many business dealings with
Mr.. Watson, and from his record as a
business man and private citizen that
he possesses all of those qualifications,
and that the duties of the sheriffs Office
could not be put in better hands.
They have the greatest confidence. in
his word, and when he tells them as he
goes about amongst them that if elect
,, ed sheriff he will conduct the affairs of
the Office in the interest of the taxpay-
ers, that economy is one of the planks
in his platform, they believe him This
being what they want they readily
pledge him their support-democrats
and republicans alike-not only at the
polls but right along up to election day.
They use their influence with their
friends and thus his army of supporters
is added to from day to day.
He has made no pledges or promises
of office to anyone, but the people know
that the men whom he appoints to
serve under him will be men who are
looked up to and respected in their sew
eral localities.
Taken all in all Mr. Watson may well
feel proud of the impression he has
made upon the minds of the people so
far in his campaign. They are already
suggesting what his majority will be on
the 9th of November, which is a good
indication of how they take his candi-
dacy. That his majority will be good
one there is no gainsaying. Bancroft
