Ann ArbOr Changes.

Some important changes have been
made on the Ann Arbor railroad dur
ing the last few days. j. A. Strubel,
of Lafayette, Ind, has been appoint
ed assistant to General Manager Low
ell, of the Ann Arbor and the d. T. &
/. roads. He was formerly CHIEF

ter report to Mr.. Wallace, retaining
his present official title. Messrs.

chanic's office will succeed A. II. Du-
mond in the superintendent's office.

Expect to Establish Veneer Plant.

Messrs. Teal, Smith and
Runyon, of this city, have de
cided to build a factory and
manufacture veneer. They have
about decided on a location
alongside the railroads near the
Junction, and expect ere long
to have a factory bni' ding in
process of erection.
The last of the week the gentlemen
were in conference with the Improve
ment Association and the members of
that body are doing much to insure the
establishment of the BUSINESS. The
r'en do not ask for bon1s. nor for a
free site from the city or association.
However. the association is endeay
oiinS to get q long term lease for the
new company at nominal figure and
viii undoubtedly be sue ,cssfui.
The Improvement Association is
also interesting itself in securing some
stock for the company. and is salts
fled the amount required to be taken
will easily be secured In fact there
seems not the slightest doubt but that
the new company will be doing LUST
ness in a comparatively few weeks.

Attorney General Says the Hickman
Claim is illegal.

Corunna, Mich, April S.-The an
swer OF the Attorney General to the
claim of Hickman & Sons Co., for
payment of their note of $9l1.00
shows that the county of Shiawassee
by its electors appropriated the sum
of $75,000.00 with which to build a
court house. That the county treas
urer put into the building fund the re-
ceipts from sale of bonds and interest
amounting to the sum of $7S,29l 81,
all of which sum was paid out by the
county treasurer for the construction
of the court house.
That at the time the last amount was
paid out of this fund the board of SUI
pervisors figured that they were ow-
ing Hickman & Sons the sum of
$ol1.00, which they gave their note
for, and not only was Hickman paid
all the money appropriated for the
building of the court house, but he was
paid over and above that sum upwards
of $4,000, over the amount actually
appropriated by the tax payers for
the purpose of erecting the court
house.
All the money appropriated has
been expended, and upwards of $751;
10000 in excess of the sum approp-
rated for that purpose, of which ex-
cess Hickman & Sons got $4,000, and
yet they claim the county is owing
them $ol100
The reply to Rickman's petition de-
MES that anything is due him legally,
and asks that Mr.. Hickman turn
back into the county treasury the
amounts he has drawn over and above
the legal appropriation, and denies
that the petitioners, Hickman & Sons
come into court with clean hands
when they received $4,000, which
amount they retain paid to them with
out legal authority out of the con-
tingent fund of said county, and they
do not offer in their petition to re-
fund the same. The reply asks the
petitioners to do equity if they ex-
pect to have an equitable standing in
court

Beverage Debate.

The political debate between William
Jennings Bryan and Senator Beveridge,
recently commenced in the Reader Mag
azine, is continued in the April Issue Of
that publication. Mr.. Bryan, in favor
ing state ffg hts, makes the contention
that the people can act more Intelligent.
ly on subjects near at hand than on those
further removed. He refers to the negro
problem of the south and the oriental
problem of the Pacific coast as proper
subjects to be handled by the people of
the affected localities, without the inter
ference of the national government. AS
to the assertion made by Senator Bev-
eridge that the powerful interests
which exploit the people and the nations
resources can more easily handle small
er portion of the American people for
their purposes than they can handle the
entire $4,000, 900, he intimates that the
representatives of predatory wealth are
advocates of states rights when prose
cuted by the national government, and
advocates of Capitalization whenever
they are attacked by any state. Hec ~
cludes that the state and the natl
both necessary; "the nation for the
lection of the people from without a
for that work which all the people mus
do together; but the state must continue
to be the champion of the home, the
school, the community and the local in
terests, which are best understood by
the people of each community, and best
defended by those who understand the
conditions to be met.
Mr.. Beveridge, on his part thought
the withdrawal of power from the state
would not breed indifference to public
affairs, citing as proof the widespread
interest in such affairs at the present
time, when, as he intimates, a system
attic absorption of power by the federal
government" is in progress. He refers
to the railway rate bill and to federal
legislation upon pure food, meat in
spection, national quarantine, com
merce and labor. and asks If these laws
have caused discomfort among the peo-
pie. He adverts. also, to the San Fran
cisco school incident, to show the per
plexity and danger into which the OK
ercise of state rights may bring the en-
tire nation.

Annual Parish Meeting.

The first annual parish supper Iii
connection with the annual meeting
of Christ Episcopal church was held
on Easter Tuesday evening AS an
an experiment, it was a complete Sue
cess, and its popularity insures for it
a permanent place in the future OF
the parish
AT 6 o'clock a large gathering OF
the Pensioners filled the spacious
rectory rooms, tastefully arranged for
the occasion, and partook of sump-
tuous lap supper served by the La
dies Guild. Delightful sociability
and toothsome viands blended to
make the event a most enjoyable and
memorable one in the history OF
Christ Church parish.
p At 7:30 o'clock adjournment was
taken to the church. The annual
parish meeting was duly convened and
opened by the rector, and reports re-
ceived from the officers of the differ
ent departments of parochial activity.
The reports were uniformly excellent,
revealing an unusual interest and &C
tivity during the year ended, with
correspondingly gratifying results.
Many substantial Improvements and
additions to the parish plant have
been made at cost of several hum
dred dollars. This cost, together
with all current expenses for the
year, has been met, and the parish
debt also reduced by about $500.
The rector's report showed that he
had completed eleven months of SER
vice in the rectorate of the parish,
during which time he has held Us
services, made 500 calls, baptised 20
adults, and p infants and children,
presented 81 persons for confirmation
and has another class of several per-
sons to present at the bishops vista
ton to the parish on April 9th Con-
gregations have about doubled and
the outlook for the parish seems
brighter at this time than for some
years past.
The vcstry elected to serve the par
ish for the ensuing years consists of
]. J. Davis, c. S. Williams, c. S. AL
lison, ii. B. Peterson, A. d. Whipple,
James Osburn, J. M. Terbush, J. H.
Laverock, d. c. Cooper, F. Hayward,
and T.. Manning
Resolutions of appreciation for
faithful and efficient service were
adopted and presented to the various
officers of the parish and the members
of its two ladies' guilds, which have
accomplished such phenomenal re-
suits during the year in the way of
financial aid.
One of the largest, and most inter-
esting meetings in the recent history
of the parish then adjourned sine die.
The vestry then proceeded to or
ganization and elected the following
officers:
Senior Warden--J. J. Davis.
Junior Warden-C. S. Williams.
Secretary-A. d. Whipple.
Treasurer-C. S. Williams

To Regulate Private Banks.


Two bills designed to regulate the
business Of private banking have made
their appearance in the house. One
introduced by Representative Mont
gomery of Ingham seeks to place the
institutions under the Supervision Of
the state commissioners of banking.
while the other. introduced W. Repre-
sentative Lord of Wayne simply
makes it unlawful for any corporation.

mess is not subject to supervision and
examination by the state commission
or to use the words bank" bank
ing" or banker In connection with
their business. or To in any manner
hold forth to the public that they are
engaged in any sense in the business
OF banking. Severe penalties are pro-
vidcd for violation of these proposed
laws. The introdycer Of the latter bill
thinks that the provisions Of the for
mer are an invasion of private rights
and would not, therefore, he sustained
Ivy the courts. He argues that the leg
