FINANCIAL
IIIRREGULAR|TY
SECRETARY WADE, OF THE U. or
NJ, UNDER A CLOUD OF
UGLY LOOK.
CHARGED WITH GRATING
Results Of Attorney General Birds In
vsstiestion Indicate That Some
Queer Things Were Done.

James II. Wade, for % years secre-
tary of the University of Michigan, is
under investigation and some In
stances OF grating are prominent,
with indications that II has been going
on for years. Mr. Bird announces from
Lansing that he is now closing up one
specific instance OF graft on Mr..
Wade's part and that as soon as tha
evidence in this case is complete he
will lay the matter before Prosecutor
Sawyer, of Washtenaw county, and ask
the arrest OF Mr.. Wade. The amount
involved IL between IS 1000 and $4,000
and Mr.. Wade will probably pay back
the money, as both he and his son,
Charles II. Wade, OF Albuquerque, n.
NJ, have been endeayoring to stop
prosecution In the matter.
The evidence gathered by Mr.. Dird
runs back over q period Of years, but
just how long Mr.. Wade has been en-
gagged In pocketing university money
is problematical.
Some of the specific charges 20 lear
out which Mr.. Bird has gathered evil
dence are as follows:
That for 20 years he heated his
house with university coal amounting
10 ABOUT SoO annually.
That a cement walk around the
house and basement under the house
were both made Of university material
and the work done by university en-
ployes.
That his house was painted by uni
versity workmen and the material be
longed to the state.
That he sold coal TO the Y. NJ. c. A,
but did not turn the money into the
state. The returned checks OF the
Y. VI. c. A., which are in evidence,
show Wades Endorsement
That he sold various supplies to
private parties and the records do not
show that he ever turned in the
money.
When Attorney General Bird called
on him in Chicago Wade exhibited a
book in which were transactions which
did not appear on the regular books.
Wade said he kept certain money re-
ceived outside the regular income of
the university for the purpose of pay
ing bills which would not be allowed
by the auditor GENERALS Office. Mr..
Bird examined the book and found the
ink so fresh that he questioned Wade,
who acknowledged that the book had
been made up in preparation for the
investigation.
Wade resigned the secretaryship on
Friday, the Board of Regents accept
ing the same at once. With his res
ignation Wade sent another letter, in
which he denied most of the accuse
tons of Atty.-Gen Bird, but enclosed
two checks, one for s720 and one for
10000. The first, he said, represent.
ed the value of university coal used
in his home and the second the diff
ference between the amount paid for
coal by the Y. NJ c. A. and the
amount that Mr.. Wade was able to
account for. although he said he had
hoped to find the missing vouchers.

righteously indignant and refused to
pay his taxes until the assessment
was rectified. To please him the as
SCISSORS took his own figures, and he
paid taxes accordingly.
When he was nominated for Cover

run a saloon campaign or buy votes

mines that the miners must be Union

THE STATE IN

THE DOWAoIAc SENSATION u
NOT LIKELY TO PROVE
EXCITING.
FLIMSY EVIDENCE ONLY
5rinmlngstaii Seems to Be One With
Cloudy Past and the Victim Of
Revenge.

James Brimmingstall, who is being
held In the county Jail at Cassopolis
on the charge of having murdered
aggerated type OF the dime novel des.
perado. whose frequent recitals Of this
thrilling events OF his tramp life in
the west have made him the victim
OF his own experiences. Brimmingstall
may have murdered old Hun, but the
charge hangs on nimsy thread and
a careful investigation Of the circum.
stances fails to support the theory
that be is a Wholesale murderer.
Hun had been a county charge,
owning a little land, and a small
shack located near the railway tracks.
He was a parslytic and unable TO
work and dropsy also developed. Hun
made a bargain with Brimmingstall
that II the latter would care for him
until his death, he would deed him
the property that he owned So far
as can be learned, this trust was
faithfully carried out, up TO the time
Mrs. Brimminsstall claims her hus-
band hurried Hun to his death.
During his illness Hun was attend
ed by DR.. w. w. Easton, a prominent
physician OF Dowagiac and a man OF
many years experience. DR.. Easton
saw Hun the day before he died and
notified the family that he would
probably not live more than "a hours

Easton. II saw him a number OF
times. He was a parslytic and the
dropsical infusion extended nearly
the entire length of his limbs.
THE old man was sinking rapidly
the last time / saw him. and his con-
dition was such that he might strug
gle a good deal whenever a paroxysm
seized him So far as my observation
went, the Brimmingstalls, and, In
fact, all the neighbors, looked after
the sick man as well as they could.
remember, on my last visit, telling
them that the old man would not last
a day longer, and to be good to him.
| cannot reconcile the story that
Brimmingstall murdered him. There
was absolutely no motives and, as
say, a man In his condition would
very naturally struggle a good deal at
times"
The man Claus who figures In the
case had boarded with the family and
remodeled the shack. Brimmingstall
had quarreled with Claus and driven
him away and claims that revenge is
the inspiration OF the murder charge
Brimmingstall says: sid Claus put
my wife up to that story; she told me
so herself when she came to see me

Importlna Beet SUGAR.

The sending by Appraiser Geo. w.
Wanamaker, of the New York customs
ONCE, of an expert sugar sampler and
examiner to Bay City calls attention
to an interesting incident in customs
circles-the importation at an interior
port OF a cargo of beet sugar from
abroad. This is the first time that any
considerable quantity of sugar has
been imported at other than a sea-
board port. IL Is the advance cargo OF
those which are expected to keep the
trust refineries in the state in opera
ton the year round. Ten thousand
bags, or 1000 tons Of raw beet sugar
from Austria have arrived at Port HUI
ron by the steamship Montezuma,
billed to Bay City via the st. Lawrence
river and through the lakes. The sugar
sampler from the New York custom
house was sent to assist in estimating
the duty on the cargo.

For many weary years this terri

The little Republican ring which
is supporting w. H. Andrews for dele

public treasury for over a decade.
The only setback to this continuous
cracking of the peoples safe occurred

governor was accidentally given the
reins of Office and commenced to

weakness toward Roosevelt is describ
ed by his partisans as his "~strong
side"
When Roosevelt runs out of ammu-
milton Hearst kindly molds him a few
bullets, which for the most part fail
to serve his purpose.
When a President of the United
States trails his Office in the mire of
a political campaign and scatters
mire as he goes it is hard to tell where
the President ends and the pernicious
partisan begins.
The surprise caused by R~oosevelt's
'pernicious partisan activity" is by
no means as great as the degenerate
partisan spirit which finds in this deg
relation of the Presidential Office a
subject of commentator and ap-
plause.

lowed. Andrews and the members of
the little ring were in too deep. They
had to stop the publicity, and stop
it quick. They did it. 1t look desper-
ate work, but they did it.
Now they are busily laying plans
for a further campaign of highway
robbery. This scheme includes send
ing Bull Andrews back to congress.
He is too valuable to lose. He is the
Key to the safe. He is the statehood
dummy behind which the thieves
hide.
The chief exponent of the ring IS
the bare-faced exponent of public rot

Mexican.
This is the organ which robbed the
people of New Mexico of thousands
of dollars by a public printing graft
