Graydon, rejoicing in his final VIC
tory. hurried to his rooms later In the
evening. AS he was about to enter
the elevator he noticed a gray suited
boy in brass buttons. who stood near
by IN inqulring look in his face.
This Is Mr. Bansemer," observed
the laconic youth who ran the single
elevator in the apartment building.

Graydon. turning to the boy in gray

Graydon took the thick envelope
from the boys hand. With start, he
recognized his fathers handwriting
Curiously he turned the letter over In
his fingers as he assembled In the car
wonder growing in his brain. He did
not wait to remove his overcOat on en-
tering his rooms, but strobe to the light
and nervously tore open the envelope.
Dread, hope, anxiety, conspired to
make his fi0gers tremble. There were
many closely written pages. How well
he remembered his fathers writing!
As he read his eyes grew wide with
wonder and unbelief. They raced
through tho pages, wonder giving way
to Joy and exultation as he neared the
end Of the astounding message from
the faraway prisoner.
A shout forged to his lips. He hrs-
ged the letter to his heart. Tears came
into bis eyes. and a sob broke in his
throat

himself into a chair to eagerly read
and reread the contents Of the letter
Suddenly he sprang to his feet and
dashed across the room to the tele,

"She will die Of joy" he half sobbed
IN the transports Of exhilaration. Five
minutes later he was on his way to her
hotel. clutching the priceless letter In
his bare fingers deep down In his over

NEWS
Of MICHIGAN
FORTY-ONE YEARS LITIGATION
OVER THE FERRY WILL
is ENDED.
MICHIGAN HEIRS AWARD
Bits Of News and Noteworthy Incl
dents Gathered Here and There
About the State Briefly Told.

The Ferry will case, which has been
in litigation since the death in 1867
of William Montague Ferry, one OF the
first missionaries to the Indians in the
Mackinac Island district, has been de-
cided by the probate court of Ottawa
county. Edward r. Ferry, OF Salt
Lake City, as executor, is ordered to
pay to the Michigan Trust Co. on be-
half of the other heirs, mostly resi-
dents of Ottawa county, the sum OF
$915,355, or three-fourths of the orig
inal estate.
The court finds that Edward II. Fer.
rvs accountings were not true, that
the executor had not accounted for
money and property, that he had mis-.
appropriated large sums, that he had
become mentally incompetent and had
mismanaged the estate.
One of the principal heirs was the
late Thomas w. Ferry, former United
States senator, who presided as presi-
dent pro tenn in the senate during the
famed Hayes-Tilden recount.

In Bed All Winter.

Going to bed with the advent of rig
orous weather late in the fall and re-
naming there until the temperature
moderates in the spring has been the
voluntary and peculiar practice of Pc
ter O'Connor. an old resident of Flint,
for the last thirty years, according to
his own statement. Mr.. O'Connor is 81
years old and makes his home with a
nephew. He has a pronounced aver
sion to cold weather, and at present
is observing his usual custom OF
spending the winter esconsed in blank
cts on cot located within a few feet
of stove in which fire is constantly
kept burning. He is in no sense an
invalid, but on the contrary, has an
unusual capacity for work for a man
of his years. During warm weather
OConnor has a garden which he de-
lights in cultivating, and he puts in a
good deal Of his time making himself
otherwise useful

Could Not Save Him.

AS little Mahlon Hawley. aged 4
years, of Medina, was feeding the
chickens a couple of days befores New
Years, he slipped and fell in the icy
yard, and some kernels of corn that he
had in his mouth lodged in his throat.
Medical aid was summoned at once and
the little fellow was worked over for
hours, but his condition steadily be-
came worse. He fingered on, suffer-
ing the greatest pain until January l.,
when his father took him to Adrian
for consultation Of physicians. Here
it was decided that in an operation lay
the only hope Of saving the child's
life. The operation was performed New
Years day. but the little fellow was
unable to survive the shock, and
passed away during the night.

Would Let State Pay for Hall.

In connection with the committee
appointed by the Detroit common
council to promote the plan to build a
music hall and auditorium, Capt.
George C. Waldo has explained how
the city can obtain a $4,000 state APP
preparation. lie calls attention to the
fact that at the special session OF the
legislature a bill was passed appro-
priating $4,000 year for the cree
ton of armories for divisions of the
state National guard. Each division
is entitled to $4,000 and Detroit has
Is divisions. 1t is said that Grand
Rapids companies are planning to
land the first appropriation. 1t would
require few years to secure the en-
tire S1S0,000 because not more than
$4,000 year is appropriated for all
the divisions in Michigan. 1t is pro-
posed TO use the armory as conven-
ton hail. for which there is great
need in city that draws so large a
number of conventions as does Detroit.

Work of the Convention.

The constitutional convention has
resumed work after the holiday recess
and, as the salary budget expires by
limitation on January 81, much will
have to be accomplished in order to
complete the revision by that time.
There will be very little smooth sail
ing and practically every proposal
that comes up will be subject for de-
bate The constitutional initiative
proposition has attracted more atten-
ton than anything else. Every dele
gate has been anxious TO learn
whether sentiment has changed and a
general comparing of notes is going
on. AS matter of fact, a good many
delegates have changed their ideas
regarding the proposition and the
prospects are that it may not pass.
Some delegates came back with the
conviction that if the proposal should
get through it would arouse such a
determined opposition that the revi-
sion would be defeated. The conven-
ton will take up the proposal relative
to placing members of the legislature
on salaried basis, which may meet
with favorable consideration, although
destined to be opposed by delegates
having farmer constituents. 1t is be-
lieved that If fair salary is provided
a much higher class of men will con-
sent to become members.

Now They Are Sorry.

Quite few of the delegates are
not proud of the anti-cigarette propos-
al which was stampeded through the
constitutional convention. Some haze
had the courage TO express their re-
grets, saying that they voted without
giving the matter any consideration,
but simply jumped aboard the band
wagon. They all recognize the absolute
unfairness of running a proposition
through the convention without giving
all the parties interested an opportun-
ity of being heard When the proposal
comes back fro i the committee on
arrangements and phraseology a reso-
luton will be introduced to send it
back to the original committee in or
der that those who have right 10
be heard may be given an opportun.

Plan for G. o. p. Session.

The upper peninsula has begun to
plan for the Republican convention at
Chicago. The two district delegates
may be William II. Johnston of Ish-
peming and Chase S. Osborn of s1ult
Ste. Marie. Capt. Johnston is in
charge of the mining interests, has
shown himself to be philosophical
and, while not seeking political hon
ors, has taken practical interest in
matters pertaining to the iron coun-
try. Chase S. Osborn is a well known
man in Michigan and his intimate con-
nection with state affairs for many
years. his friends say. BELTS him for a
seat in the national convention. Not
one of these men is an officeholder.
The sentiment of the upper peninsula
is that the ofiiceholders will best serve
the interests of their constituents by
leaving the larger affairs to be looked
after by others.

The ThaW Trial.

The attorneys for Thaw have made
final arrangements for his coming
trial which will be held in the same
branch of the supreme court as be-
fore. Justice Victor Bowling, who will
preside at the trial, is one of the
youngest members of the state SUI
preme bench but has already attained
a wide reputation as a jurist. He has
expressed an intention to hold the OPP
posing attorneys steadily to their
tasks and to expedite the trial as
much as possible.
IL is intimated that II 1t appears
from the first days proceedings that
the work of jury-selection will be diff
ficult night sessions will be held. The
defendant and his attorneys, as we'll
as the district attorney, are in accord
with Justice Bowling and will do
everything in their power to hasten
the proceedings. 1t is the hope of all
to make the second trial a model of
breyity as compared TO the first trial.

Watched Adrian's Growth.

Mrs. Maria l.. Beecher, of Adrian, is
dead after having lived to see Adrian
grow from mere clump Of log
houses to a flourishing city of fine
homes and thriving industries. She
saw the old tavern conducted by her
father supplanted by the jail, and the
old Erie & Kalamazoo railroad depot,
across the street, give way to the
courthouse. Later Mrs. Beecher saw
the home where she lived after her
marriage to Mr.. Beecher in 1916, re-
placed by a handsome Y. NJ. c. A.
building. Her mind remained clear to
the last and she could narrate inter
esting anecdotes about Adrian when it
was in its infancy. Mrs. Beecher was
born in Ithaca, n. Y, and came to
Adrian with her father, Perkins Bart
lett, in 1886, and had lived here ever
since. She married Robert r. Beech
er in 1S46 and he gained a state rep
utation aB an attorney and was Judge
of probate for many years.

The unexplained arrival of 300 Jap
anese in Vancouver and the prospect
of an influx of 1,200 from Honolulu
add TO the alarm there since Japs
knitted three city firemen. The 800
Japanese came from coast logging
camps, some even from the American
side of the boundary Officers of the
Asiatic Exclusion league are much
perturbed by their coming.
Steamers are being engaged to bring
the 1900 Japs from Hawaii. Tech
nically the paternal Japanese govern
ment cannot prevent the coming of
these Japanese TO British Columbia,
for they are free agents once they
have turned in their passports at the
islands. With the Hawaiian and log.
ging camp influx the Jap colony will
be increased to $500.

make an address at thf annual dinner
of the Lincoln club, at Kalamazoo,
on February IL. The invitation was
rendered to Senator Knox through
Senator Burrows some months ago,
but as Mr.. Knox has agreed to attend
the Lincoln Day banquet of the Pitts
burg chamber Of commerce on Febru-
airy IL, he could not promise to go to
Kalamazoo until certain that he could
get from there to Pittsburg in time
for the dinner on the following day.
Senator Burrows has made arrange
ments by which Senator Knox will be
able to fill both engagements. The
subject of Mr.. Knoxs speech has not

From the State Capital
Information and Gossip Furnished by Special
Correspondent at Lansing.

Lansing.-"What is a sausage?" is
the question on the answer of which
may depend the right of Armour q
Co. to sell the product in Michigan.
The decision will be given in the test
case brought for the state by Food
Commissioner Bird against three Kala-
mazoo grocers, but in which the real
defendant is Armour & Co. of Chicago.
The state had begun a number of suits
in the different cities for infringe
ment of the state pure food act, but 1t
was agreed that the Kalamazoo case
be made a test. The line of question
ing indicates that the claim will be
put forth that sausage has been made
in the same manner for 20 years, and
is not legally an aduteration.

Label the Sausage.

Judge West, of the Ingham circuit
court, in an opinion handed down.
holds against the use of cereals and
water in the manufacture of sausage.
The decision was rendered in the pro-
ceedings brought by Armour & Co., OF
Chicago. TO secure an injunction re-
straining the state dairy and food de-
partment from interfering with the
sale of its sausage, by a threat of ar
rest. on the ground that the sausage
is adulterated The judge said in part:
With the general public Of this
generation, largely reared on farms
and in small villages and remember
ing homemade sausage, there is no oc-
casion to look at a dictinary in order
to define sausage. The comon under
standing is that sausage is composed
Of chopped meat. seasoned, and the
definition must control as against a
manufacturers process of adding ce-
reals and water"
The court says further that cereal
is cheaper than meat and water, cheap
er than the cereal which brings the
manufactured product within the
scope of the law prohibiting adultera-
lions. 1t is further said that while
the sausage may be sold il must be
labeled to show that it contains water
and cereals.
The decision is an important one in
view of the large interests affected.
and the fact that 1t is a second attempt
of the meat company to prevent the
dairy and food department prohibiting
the sale of the sausage in this state.

would be wise. There is no use talk
ing, new era in politics is here, and
the doctrine of the square deal is in
the ascendency. Secretary Taft is a
great man. His success in the Philip
pines, in Cuba and at Panama in
Strengthening out enormous difficulties
stamps him as man of great capacity
and ability. His opponents have said
that he is an understudy of the presi-
dent, but | want to say that while his
policies are largely those which the
president has favored, Mr.. Taft is not
a mere imitator."
