EVENTS NOTED
The PRIMARY BILL HAS PASSED
THE HOUSE AND NOW
TO THE SENATE.
FLOOD OF AMENDMENTS.
The Fight to Immaculate the Bill
Was Fierce But Futile, and Now IL
Is Up to the Senate.
How II Went Through.

The house finally passed the Dick
inson direct nominations bill, with
only one serious change from the bill
as passed in committee of the whole,
though the minority kept the friends
OF primary reform busy for several
hours arguing against and debating
with their amendments and proposed
eXcisions. The final vote was "a to
z, and the seven were Reps. j. S. Mon
roe, F. T. Bennett, Dougherty, Double,
knight, Beeman, Simpson.
Tinkering with the bill began almost
as soon as the house sat, and con-
tinued for hours. Rep. Waters moved
to substitute go per cent where the
bill of 1905 had 40 per cent" requir-
ing that plurality to nominate a can
didate. This was the first thing to
come up, and therefore the first thing
to go down. and it went by a vote Of
so to "a.
The Campbell amendment to the
penalty clauses came up for more dis
cussion. This amendment forbids the
purchasing of space in a newspaper,
and by the Technology of the section
makes it bribery and a felony. Rep
Miller, of Detroit, succeeded after one
of the Miller-Campbell debates, in
substituting what perhaps should be
called the William Alden Smith
clause" This provision makes it a
felony for:
Every person who directly or indi-
rectly pays for space in any newspa-
per, which space is used or Is intend
ed to be used for the purpose of as
sisting or hindering the nomination
of any candidate to any Office, whether
local, state or nationals, and every
person being the owner or part owner
Of any newspaper or controlling it or
any interest thereon or in any com
pany owning any newspaper &c con.
trolling the same who uses or so.
cures to be uscSI said newspaper for
advertising purposes in order to as
sist him in securing the nomination
to any office.
This is to make it an offense for the
owner of paper to use it to forward
his own candidacy for office.
Chapter provides that II is fell
ony for candidates to hire workers or
pay for space in any newspaper. This
is made punishable by fine from 500
to $500 and six months Imprisonment
Rep. George Lord, of Detroit, moved
to have the entire newspaper clause
eliminated. but this was lost as being
out of order Reps. Miller, Greusel and
L'Esperance voted for the substitu-
ton.
Rep. Colby moved to add prohibit
ton against cards and posters, giving
humorous description of bill-pasting
campaigning in Wayne county, but the
amendment and the humor both went
down pleasantly.
Rep. Turner now made motion to
strike out subdivisions 4, 5, 6, and
s of the penalty clauses. Rep. Camp
bell moved to amend to retain section
| Z, the corporation bribery clause. This
amendment was accepted by Rep Tur-
| ner. Rep. LEsperance moved to
amend by retaining also subdivision
IS, the Miller advertising section. This
was accepted Then the house voted
to retain the rest of the clauses and
then the bill went to a vote and
passed. The briberies in question were
| termed 'misdemeanors" instead of fell
| onies.

City Cannot Lay Tracks.

Five justices Of the state supreme
court, constituting a majority, decid
ed that the city of Detroit cannot
build street railway tracks to be leas-
ed to an operating corporation. The
council OF that city in 1905 ordered
the department of public works to lay
priated $4,000 to start the work. The
question of the legality of this action
was Immediately raised and an injunc-
ton applied for. The Wayne circuit
court granted the Injunction and the
case was carried to the supreme
Court.

Good Roads" Law Knocked Out.


The state good roads law, insofar
as it relates to the appointment of
county road commissioners in Wayne
county, was held unconstitutional by
the supreme court. Such an opinion
was stated by the court in affirming
the Wayne circuit court. which re-
fused to mandamus the board of coun-
ty auditors to allow certain claims
under the act The chief objection to
the act that was raised in the hearing
was that while the cities of Detroit
and Wyandotte pay five-sixths of the
tax, the inhabitants of those cities
have no voice in the action required
to adopt or rescind the laws. The
method of appointing commissioners
was also attacked.

Bicycle Policeman D. T. Loe. of the Police Department. and Secretary J. E. Scale had a queer experience with a negro waiter. employed at one of the local restaurants yesterday. The bicy- cle policeman had a waiter with us contents flung at his feet, fling which was immediately followed by the negro's nasty flight.
 The negro had been sent to police headquarters with dinner for one or the prisoners locked up in cell, ana had proceeded as far as the top of the stairs and the office's threshold.
 Oficer Loe immediately accosted him, and when informed of the negro's er rand said to him that they go back to the cell. Securing the Keys with which to open the cell door, Officer Loe told the negro to follow, going 10 the door offthe cell.
 Not noticing the walters timidity over the prospects of yawning cell the officer again yelled to the negro to come on. But the negro's fear oi
