TRIP WILL Be ON
FLOATING PALACE
CITY OF CLEVELAND, ELEGANTLY
BOARD OF COMMERCE.

President George T. Moody, OF the
Board OF Commerce. Tuesday morning
made an inspection visit 10 the new
steamer City OF Cleveland, which Is
to make its first regular trip June 4,
carrying the Board OF Commerce par
ty OF COO TO Sault ste. Marie, on the
occasion of the fifth anniversary OF
the Detroit organization. He was ac-
ccmpanied by William Livingstone, A.
E. I.arned. chairman of the unniver-
sary committee. and H. B. Scott. The
party was conducted over the big ship
by President Farr, of the Detroit Ship
building Co
The size and elegance OF the new
ship greatly surprised the visitors,
and Mir. Scott. exclaimed: The best
ocean liners do not excel this ship
for comfort and elegance. They are
larger, but that Is the only point OF
superiority.
In this view he was Joined by Presi.
dent Moody and the others present.
IL was the consensus OF opinion that
those who go on the three-day trip will
have every appointment which Is
found on ocean ships.
Upwards OF a third OF the accommo-
dations on the steamer have been en-
gagged. and Chairman Abner T..
I.arned says every mail is bringing
more applications for quarters. AS
signments are made In the order re-
ceived, and requests for special loca-
ton are being granted as far as pos
sible
Social invitations from ports where
the ship will touch are beginning TO
arrive The Alpena Chamber OF Com
merce through Secretary J. G. John
son. is urging the Detroit body TO sit
down at luncheon on the city hall
lawn. Such plans for entertaining
the, voyagers will need 10 be modified,
as the Detroit party is insisting on be-
ing host and keeping open house at
every port visited. Business men
ashore have been invited TO come
aboard and get acquainted with the
Detroiters and with the fine new ship.

FAIR SPECTATORS WHO WE'RE
CLIENTS OF MRS. NELSON CAN.
NOT CLOSE OUT DEALS THAT

There are q number OF fair specula
tors in Detroit who are mourning the
sudden closing OF the brokerage otficc
of Mrs. Dimmie F Nelson in the
Chamber OF Commerce. Not only arc
they cut off from further playing of
the stock gambling game for Mrs.
Nelson has been the only woman brok'
er ia Detroit. but some of them are
anxious 10 close out deals that show
a paper profit but no real present

brokers declare. however. that 1t was
merely a bucket shop and lay its clos

connecting the suspension here with
the failure Of Odell, the big Cincin-
natl bucket shop man.
The offices are the same that were
formerly occupied by w w Murray.
who ran a bucket shop pure and sim
pie. Murray got into public notice
through his wife's discovery that ne
had an affinity who was living in sep
arate apartments as Mrs. Murray.
Previous 10 her connection with
Foster & Co. Mrs. Nelson had an Of
flee in the Hammond building and
placed her commissions with reput-
able local brokerage house. buying and
selling the real stocks. She had TO
divide commissions. however, and IL
was understood that her change of To-
lations was the result OF better terms
offered by Foster & Co.
The difference between the real
brokerage Office and the bucket shop
lies in the fact that the broker really
buys or sells the stock the customer
desires TO trade in. while the bucket
shop merely bets the customer that
he cannot guess the market right and
charges him a commission coming and
going.
While It is necessary 10 put up 10
points margin on legitimate. deal aud
pay interest on the remainder OF the
money involved. the bucket shop re-
quires only two per cent margin and
charges no interest.
IL is said that some of Mrs. Nelson
customers had been advancing mar
gins. to carry their stocks on falling
market. Since that time the stocks
have risen to point where the sale
would show a profit. The Office is
closed. however, and the lambs" are
shivering outside.
Charles A. Cullen, who was man
ager for Foster K Co. has nothing to
say in regard to the closing up OF the
office here declaring that all informa.
ton must come from Cincinnati.
