PROTEST AGAINST
BOOST IN RATES
WHOLESALERS SAY PROPOSED
ACTION OF RAILWAYS 10
NOT JUSTIFIED.

Detroit wholesalers have expressed
themselves very vigorously against
the proposed increase In freight rates
by the railroads. In well-attended
meeting In the Hotel Pontchartrain
Monday evening resolutions dealing
with the situation In plain language
were adopted and will be sent to all
similar commercial associations In the
northeastern portion OF the country.
The discussion which preceded the
adoption OF the resolution showed the
temper OF the merchants and their dis
position TO fight the increase In every
possible way.
James Il. Davis. vice-president OF the
Wholesalers association. declared
that the increase would mean $780,
100000 a year TO the railroads. This
increase TO meet temporary business
stringency might be made permanent
He pointed out that roads which In
creased their dividends previous 10 the
hard times have not lowered them
since.
Hal II. Smith said that the roads,
which were built by the sale OF bonds.
are now trying to make the people
pay big dividends on watered stock as
we'll as the principal and interest of
the bonds. A. +. Larned and Presi-
dent James 8. Smart, OF the Whole
salers. also spoke. The resolutions
begin by declaring that rates have
been gradually raised for years. They
continue:
THAT this association most vigor.
ously protests against such contem-
plated permanent action OF the rail-
roads. on the grounds OF its being abb
solutely unnecessary, ill-advised. un-
warranted. untimely. and a grevious
and permanent burden upon the ship
pers and consumers OF the country,
subject TO removal only through tedi-
Gus and costly litigation on the part
OF the business interests.
That this association cooperate
with other commercial bodies. city,
state and national. with a view OF Sc
curing united action. checking the ten
dency upon the part OF the railroads
to levy d tax that IL estimated to be
equal TO s175 per capita in the United
States, or more than 50 per family.

CURRENT PALAVER
OF The POLITICIANS

big meeting of the Wayne County
Republican club is scheduled TO take
place soon after the Republican ma
uonal convention In Chicago II is
expected that two or three speakers
or national fame can be induced to
stay over In Detroit after the con
vention and do q little key-noting In
regard to the national candidates and
platform, which will then be assured
Minor meetings are being held almost
every night In some ward or precinct
and the club Is making gradual
increase In membership.
There Is wellgrounded suspicion
that Judge Edgar o. Durfee may again
be enticed into nomination for pro.
bate Judge next TALL. This suspicion
Is based upon the circum Instance that
Judge Durfee is now In his thirty
second year as Judge.
AS the political field shapes up tho
situation Is that the Democratic
voters are getting more and more
popular with Republican candidates all
the time. Apparently, there will be
no contests among the Democrats that
will attract voters to that side, and
the consequence IL that the Democ-
racy may nominate most OF the Re
publican candidates. Many Republi.
can workers turned out 20 help Demo.

LOVE LETTERS
IN HIS POCKET
HUGH n HADLEYs WIFE FOUND
THEM AND PROMPTLY
SUED FOR DIVORCE.

| The foolish habit of some men OF
carrying love letters In their pockets
led 10 the undoing OF Hugh S. Hadley.
His wife. Kate. sweet looking little
blonde. who could easily pass for 49,
testified that one day when Hugh was
handing her a card. letter fell from
his pocket, and she was suspicious.
That night she went through her hus-
bands pockets and found two letters
from different women and these were
! read 10 the court. He was addressed
In one OF them as My Dear. Dear
Hughie." and one OF the women said
she just knew they were made TO love
each other. The night the letters
were found the door bell and phone
bell rang at the same time. Again
Hugh made a mistake. He went 10
the door and his wife To the phone.
Mrs. Hadley found a woman on the
line asking for her husband. She re-
piled that he was at home with his
wife and two children. Then Hugh
grabbed the receiver. Mrs. Hadley
continued to listen, and she overheard
the couple make q date. Just when
the conversation was becoming inter-
esting she called into the phone
that she was Hugh's wife Later the
same woman called up and asked II
| II were true about Mr.. Hadley having
wife. When she learned the truth
she promised TO have no more to do
with him.
She sued for divorce and Judge
Rohnert heard the details at the pro
confesso session OF the divorce court
Monday.
In point of style Mrs. Frances NJ.
Schumann was easily the star OF the
afternoon. She told Of visiting the
worlds fair In ST. Louis. and OF her
marriage there to Charles Schumann
after a short acquaintance. After liv-
ing together three weeks he sent her
home TO Detroit while ne could find a
home for them. That was the last she
saw OF her husband. He never sent
for her, and letters 10 him came back
marked refused
Stories of cruelty and non-support
were told by Lulu against Joseph
Boyd: Ella against John McEnnay:
Annie against Emerson knight. and
Evely against Carl Heinze.
The only male applicant Of the af-
ternoon was Marcus Ormsby. who
charged his wife with desertion.
