HAYES WILL IS
REFUSED PROBATE
POLICEMAN CUT OFF WIFE AND
FAMILY, LEAVING ESTATE TO
OTHER RELATIVES.

The will OF the late John +. Hayes.
during his lifetime a member OF the
police force. was refused probate by
Judge Durfee, Tuesday morning. In
his will Mr.. Hayes cut of his wife and
two young sons without a cent, leaving
his entire estate. worth $4,000. to his
brothers and sisters.
Mrs. Hayes testified that for several
years her husband was kind and in
dulgent, but was taken with kidney
trouble which developed into diabetes,
and the illness seemed to change his
disposition. He became sullen and
morose, called her vile names, would
beat the children numerically, and
was always fault-finding and unrea-
sonable. She said that frequently he
would provide meal for himself OF
choice steak. which he would eat
alone. and then hand the scraps over
TO the rest of the family. Finally he
left his home and went to live with
his people. Then at his death he left
them all his property. The refusal OF
the probate will enable his widow and
the two boys to share In the estate.

house today. Mr.. Kellogg followed
Attorney Rosenthal, representing the
Standard Oil Co., who questioned the
witness along safe lines.
Mr.. Kellogg. who has gained the
sobriQuet Of trust buster through his
Ftire1ess warfare against merged CAPT
tai. slowly arose from his chair and
faced the witness squarely. The hour
was at hand when he might be able to
wiring from this witness what he had
sought for years in the courts.
The first question was: Are you
the vice president OF the Standard OIL
company" to which the witness stat
ed that he was one Of them. Witness
couldn't remember when he was elect.
ed. His memory grew bad with the
suddenness Of lightning in a peaceful
sky.
Mr.. Archbold said he had been &C.
tive In the affairs Of the Standard
In the Anglo-American company.
When Kellogg asked him how many
years he had been a leading spirit in
the Standard Of New York, the wit
ness looked embarrassed and replied:
Always"
In just half dozen questions the
witness said for the first time. II can't
remember" 1t was when Kellogg ask
ed him whether the Manhattan OIL
company OF Ohio owned the OIL Creek
refinery. The witness after legal
tilt. was called upon to answer that
the Manhattan was competing with the
Standard in Ohio.
The witness said he knew the Solar
OIL company and that he remembered
Ii bought the Manhattan and that the
Ohio Standard bought the production
of the Manhattan. The witness said
he had heard of the General Industrial
Syndicate, of London, formed by An
thony N. Brady and Mr.. Benedict.
The witness also said he remembered
a contract whereby Mr.. Brady purchas-
ed Standard Oil stock and was guar
anteed supply OF fuel oil to the Peo-
pies Gas Light & Coke company, of
Chicago, for 10 years. This contract.
continued the witness. was made with
the Standard of Indiana, The fact
was establihed by Mr.. Kellogg that
Archbold was both director and a
passive officer of the Anglo American
company. Then he began long but
vain attempt to get some information
from the witness about a three mil
lion dollar loan from the company to
James Maxwell.

PROTESTS AGAINST
BOOST IN RATES

The Merchants e. Manufacturers
Exchange of Detroit has taken q stand
against any increase Of freight rates
by the railroads Of the country. In a
letter sent by the secretary, Walter
S. Campbell. to Fred Upham, of the
National Industrial Traffic league.
Chicago, who will represent the ship
pers In the conferences with the rail-
roads on the matter, II Is requested
that the point brought out first In the
conference be that as TO whether the
proposed three per cent increase Is In
addition to the increased rates on spe-
cial articles.
Mr.. Campbell declares the belief OF
the Detroit body that an annual in
crease of $4,000, 900 per year upon the
shippers is too much TO impose on ac-
count of one lean year. especially in
view of te present Improvement In
business.

That those worthiest to receive help
do not get the full benefit OF the re-

ferers In PresQue lie county IL the
opinion Of Theodore Hardies, postmas-
ter Of Metz and probate judge-elect or
Presque lie county.
Many of the men who need help
are too proud to ask for aims" he
says. Others are anxious to get all
they can and tell plausible stories to
get aid. J. ID. Hawks, president OF
the Detroit q Machinaw railroad, has
been the greatest factor In assisting
our people.
Danger Is not entirely over get.
The fire burned SO fast that 1t did not
consume everything and there Is the
chance OF an even worse IRE coming
afterward. The men will be busy
numbering up there this winter to get
the scorched timber out.
Probably, after 1t Is all over, the
country whereabouts will be better for
farming than now. The great prob
lem next year will be to get stock and
implements for the farmers. They
have nothing with which to pay for
them"
Hardies was In Rogers City. attend
ing a supervisors meeting. when the
fire attacked Metz He was unable to
get back there. being cut of by the
flames. His wife was on the refugee
train in which so many were burned
but escaped with their children. The
members OF his brothers family were
all burned.
Hardies Is In Detroit, buying stock.
Incidentally. he called upon his old
school teacher, William Baumann, who

WEBER WANTS
VOTING MACHINES

Aid. Charles Weber will introduce
n resolution In the common council
Tuesday evening, authorizing an esti.
mate OF $l25,000 for voting machines
to equip every precinct in the city.
Il think we can get voting machines
that will be big enough TO care for
cur elections and they will be an hon
est and fair count as well as giving
us quicker returns" says Weber.
Such a substitution OF voting ma.
chimes would do away with the GER
