NOW THE MAKING, SELLING AND
SMOKING OF CIGARETTES
is DOOMED.
HARD ON THE DUDES
Evidently Members of the Constitu-
tional Convention Want Pipes, Ct.
gars and "chaws" Only

The proposal OF Delegate Hart, Of
Oceana, forever prohibiting the sale,
manufacture or importation of cigar
cites in Michigan, engaged the atten-
ton of the committee of the whole
OF the constitutional convention, for a
good part of the session New Years
day. 1t at first was treated with levity,
but remonstrances OF Holmes, of Ora.
tiot, and Pratt, OF Bay, changed the
tone of discussion. Delegate Camp
bell of Wayne, at the request Of to-
bacco manufacturers, moved to refer
the subject back TO the committee to
enable the Industrial interests to be
heard on the subject. Delegate Ingram,
OF Wayne, supported the motion, in
the interests of associations of drug
gists.
The motion was objected to by Del
egate Russell, introducer of the pro-
posal. He wanted no further delay,
and in a speech of considerable power
quoted statistics to show that the
physical energies of 80 per cent of the
school boys above the age of IL
years were being undermined and de-
stroyed by the use of cigarettes.
Speeches on the same side OF the
question were made by Taylor, of
Kalamazoo; Fall of Calhoun; Duel, of
Emmett; Smith, of Altoona; Thomas,
of Barry; Fitzpatrick and Cook, of Shia-
wassee; Cranor, of Mason; Burt, of
Saginaw, who said ii reflected on Re-
publican legislatures, who have de-
feated these measures for the last Is
years; Walbridge, of Clinton. Mines,
of Branch, said in reply to Burt that
he would vote for it as the only
chance to get the Democratic and Re-
publican parties together, noting the
failure of the Democratic "squaw-
bucks" of 1891 to pass a like meas
ure. as equalizing party odium.
The motion to refer back to the
committee was lost. The proposal was
amended on motion of Wicksall, of
Van Buren,, forbidding also the gift,
sale, keeping or manufacturing of Gig
arctic or cigarette paper, under pen
alties to be established by the legisla-
ture
The recorded vote on the amend
ment, which is indicative of the vote
the proposal will receive when 1t
comes up on its second reading, was

Plan for c. 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 Sault
Ste. Marie. Capt. Johnston is in
charge of the mining interests, has
shown himself to be public-spirited
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 officeholders willlbest serve
the interests of their constituents by
leaving the larger affairs to be looked
after by others.

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 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 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
manufac tured product within the
scope Of the law prohibiting adultera-
tons. II 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.

STATE TREASURER
MUST ANSWER
CHARGES WILL BE SERVED ON
MR.. GLAzlER, OR HIS
ATTORNEY.
THE STATES INTEREST
Though the Official Is Reported as
Very III, the Proceedings for Remov-
al Were Begun This Week.

Charges against State Treasurer
Glazier will be served upon that Of
ficial, at his home in Chelsea, some
day this week. Personal service will
be had II possible, otherwise the form
al charges will be served upon his at
torney James s. German.
The matter was decided upon Sat
urday at a conference between Gov.
Warner and Atty.-Gen. Bird and Attor-
ney Seward Merriam, of Detroit, who
has been retained upon behalf of the
state TO assist the encouragement.
In addition to the Glazier case the
state has big interest in the Chel-
sea Savings bank, and in the event
that the bank is not able to pay back
the $6S4.000 of state funds that were
deposited in it by Glazier, the surety
companies must then be required to
make good the amount of Glaciers
bond. He gave bond for $150000 as
state treasurer and, in addition, the
state funds in the Chelsea bank are
protected by 100000 surety bond.
Neither the governor nor attorney
general have any disposition to take
advantage of Mr.. Glaciers condition,
but sufficient time has now elapsed to
make it imperative that steps be
taken to protect the interests of the
state. Mr.. Glazier will be given some
ten days more in which to make an
swer to the charges, which will follow
the outline already given. II he then
be unable to appear, reasonable ex-
tension will be granted, after which
1t will be insisted that Glazier make
his appearance through his attorney.
Those in touch with the situation
say that Glazier is a very i'll man,
and some of his friends entertain
doubts of his recovery. However, it is
believed that he will be able to confer
with his attorney after the charges
have been served on him and make an
swer to them. What answer Glazier
will make can only be conjectured,
though the intimation has been that
he will give an exclusive summary OF
his relations as state treasurer.
II has also been limited that Glaz-
Ter will tender his resignation after
having taken advantage of the oppor-
tunity to make an explanation, but, of
course, no confirmation of this report
can be had until some statement is
made by Attorney German, who re-
fuses to discuss the case in any way
until he has had an opportunity of go
ing over the charges and consulting
with his client, as far as the physical
condition Of the state treasurer will
permit.
More than one-half the assets of the
Stockbridge Commercial bank, accord
ing to a report by Receiver Dancer to
the circuit court are OF doubtful value.
The visible resources of the bank are
placed at $272,574.42. of which the re-
ceiver considers $126.09S good and the
balance doubtful. Most of the doubt
