ST, LOUIS FANS WANT
new MANAGERS

st. Louis sporting writer's are de-
mandlng that John McCloskey be
fred from the management of the
National league team. They print
q list of players announced as next
years team and say there is not a
ball player on the lost. The list OF
players includes Higgenbotham OF
Aberdeen and the critics say he has
shown nothing that will entitle him
to consideration as pitcher in the
big league. Burnett is not men,
toned as member of the team
next season.
While there Is no great public
agitation for the removal of Mac
Aleer as manager of the American
league team In st. Louis 1t Is pre-
dicted by well informed followers
of the great national game that
Jimmy will not manage the team
next year. He is credited with be-
ing a good judge of players and in
being able to organize a ball team
with any manager in the business,
hue he cannot make his men win
games. His pitching staff Is con-
coded to be one of the best In the
)c6untry and he has several Of the
Acknowledged crack players in the
business, but he can't win, hence
the prediction that both st. Louis
teams will have new managers.

THE FIRE HEND VISITS THE VILLAGE Of SUMNER
The Beautiful Hamlet Nearly Wiped from the Map-Nothng but
Scene of Desoaon Greeted the Eye When the Arose
the Morning Of July 30th-Busines Section Destroyed

About 10 o'clock Monday night while
the residents of the village of Sumner
were enjoying the rest required after an
active day Of toll, the cry of fire resound-
ed through the streets and those early on
the scene discovered that fire had broken
out in about the center of the Ayers
hardware store located midway in the
block on the south side of the business
street The fire seemed to spread with
great rapidity and in a very few minutes
the entire building was enveloped in
flames. The town had no fire protection
and bucket brigades were formed and cis-
terms and wells were pumped as never be-
fore in an effort to secure water sufficient
to stop the FIRE fend, but the best efforts
OF the residents assisted by farmers for
miles around, was of no avail, and prop
erty owners were compelled TO stand and
witness the destruction in many cases of
all their earthly possessions. After de-
stroying the Ayers hardware store the
fire tackled Vests drug store which soon
was totally destroyed entailiug loss on
building and stock of upwards of sI,5oo.
The next building to the west was C. A.
r. hall which the fire soon laid low with
a financial loss of to the G.. A. RS, in
Guiding building, estimated at 500. The
next building in the way was Uncle
Sans headquarters, and the fire fiend
not being discriminating as TO tenants
Postmaster Button soon found himself
minus place to do business, however he
succeeded in saving the mail matter to-
gether with the more valuable records
contained in the building. Postmaster
Button estimated the loss at this point at
5000. McGreanor's blacksmith shop and
implement warehouse was next i'll line
and was destroyed with a loss of SI,5oo.

BLACKMAILERS AND POLICEMEN

Under the head Blackmailers and
Policemen The Saginaw Evening News
OF last Saturday said editorially:
"There are two features of the Alma
episode in which Saginaw officers
figured with real policeman, which
stand out more prominently than others,
One is the courage and public-spirit-
edness shown by Mr.. Bell in resisting
the demands of his would-be- black
mailer and his energy i'll taking steps
to have the man brought to justice.
So many crimes have been committed
by blackmailers, so many persons have
yielded weakly TO their demands, that
II is refreshing 10 find an individual with
courage 10 take a stand for principle,
and make an honest effort to bring the
offender within the reach of the law.
1t is good example that Mr.. Bell has
set, and he is receiving the congratula-
tions OF the people of Alma and others
for his refusal to be cowed by the threats
of his anonymous correspondent at risk
OF personal injury TO himself and possibly
destruction of his property. Black
mailers have grown bold all over the
country and il is time they were resisted.
Another feature of the affair, not so
commendable, is tha presence of a mem-
Der of the Saginaw police force as one of
the detectives who got into the mixup.
With the Pere Marquette officer the city
has nothing to do, but it may be asked what
business have Saginaw officers doing
police duty in outside communities?
Time and again the answer of the de-
partment to requests for men for
special service within our own borders
has been that there are not men enough
to go round, that the inadequacy Of help
prevents detailing of meu for parts of
the city or for the work some Of the city
boards have asked TO have attended TO.
In the face of this a man is found on
special duty in an outside town The
officer himself obtained permission, it
appears, for his action. and so is mot to
blame, but 1t would seem that Saginaw
requires all her men for home duty,
according to The showing Of the depart
ment itself"

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

When from the circle Of our immediate
friends and brothers, one whom we loved
and esteemed has been called from his
labors on earth TO everlasting refreshinent
in that Lodge above, we rarely stop to
think how much he was worth, how old
or how young he was, or where he was
born Rather do we recall our pleasant
associations with him, what his living
meant TO us. at what points his life
souched ours and the extent to which he
will be missed by all the members of the
institution to which he belonged
Brother Frederick William Frousch
was born in Reinbiern, Germany, Oh the
25th day of December, 1910, aud died
July 10th. 1907. He was initiated an
Entered Apprentice April 9th, passed 10
the Degree Of Fellowcraft May 9TH and
raised to the Sublime Degree OF a Master
Mason June nth, 1891, all in Alma
Lodge Ne. 244, i. * 4, M.
Brother Frousch was truly a man and a
Mason and as such will long live in the
hearts Of the Masonic brethren. It isnot
enough TO say "we shall meet but we
shall miss him m"--he had far greater
hold upon our affection than that. We
shall miss him ont of lodge as well as in
it. His wise council in years that are
passed will long linger with us. The ties
that bind us together in great fraternity
will form new associations but none OF a
higher, purer, or more elcvating tendency
will exist among us. To the members Of
his bereaved family who are most heart
stricken at the loss we have all sustained
we extend our sincere sympathy. In ac-
acknowledgement of our sorrow be it re-
solved that a copy Of these resolutions be
properly inscribed in our memorial book
and thgt a like copy thereof be furnished
the bereaved family and chat the SAME be
published in the Alma Journal and The

great lights and charter be draped in his
memory for period OF thirty days

DEFECTIVE WIRING

The Scientific American SAYS that
after a contest III the courts which has
lasted for seven years, it has been de-
cided by the appellate decision that the
responsibility for fires resulting from
defective wiring and insulation rests
upon the electric power companies.
The legal contest which has just been
ended was begun in February, 1900,
when an insurance company brought
suit against the New York Edison com
panv as being responsible for the burn
ing of block of buildings at Third
avenue and 18th street in New York
the claim beng made that the fire was
caused by improper insulation. In this
particular case. nine insurance COM
panies paid loss Of 500, 0oO on the fire:
and subsequently sued the Edison com.
pany.
The first action was brought bv the
German American Insurance company
which won in the Appellate dcvision.
and later in the court OF appeals. The
Edison company was not satisfied 10 let
the matter rest. and brought snit
against the insurance companies. which
however, obtained favorable decision.
The testimony given at the trials proved
that the wires had been put mp on the
building which was burned down. with
ont the consent of the owner and in
negligent and reckless manner.
Itis estimated that there are IN the
United States damages every year
amounting to about $25, ,000. 600. due TO
defective electrical construction aud in
sulation. Honceforth the responsibility
for this win be laid upon the electric
companies instead of falling as hitherto
on the insurance companies.
