Toni. JOHNSON TO
KEEP ENGAGEMENT
IN DETROIT
DESPITE DEFEAT OF SECURITY
FRANCHISE IN CLEVELAND
HE'LL SPEAK FOR MAYOR
THOMPSON SATURDAY.

Mayor Tom L. Johnson, OF Cleve-
land, Is coming to Detroit Saturday
night to speak In behalf of Mayor
Thompson, despite his defeat on the
security franchise vote in that city.
1t Was first announced that his en-
gagement would be Cancelled, but later
Johnson decided to come.
I'VE are not defeated yet, we are
merely repulsed," he told Mayor
Thompson over the phone Friday
morning The battle Is not over but
just getting interesting"
Mayor Tom l.. will leave Cleveland
Saturday noon, as at present arrang-
ed. The only contingency that will
keep him at home will be some IN
foreseen emergency In regard to his
traction fight.
He Is coming to tell the people of
Detroit all about It," said Mayor
Thompson after the conversation.
I'VE will get all the facts from him"
Intense interest was felt by leaders
OF both parties locally In the outcome
of the Cleveland election. The gen.
oral opinion expressed was that the
verdict rendered by the people OF
Cleveland will lessen the effect Of John
sons fight for Mayor Thompson.
1T was the poor service given. the
way the lines were hoped up and
such things that caused the security
franchise to be defeated" said Aid.
Gutman, one of the aldermen who in
vestigated the Cleveland street rail-
way situation in the summer. "Peo-
pie were dissatisfied when we were
fharo. THAI M, otnoA en-
There IL nothing for anyone to
gloat over" remarked Aid. Watson.
1T merely shows that no man can
take over the operation Of a traction
system. will all the natural difficulties
of that kind OF thing and not lose in
popularity.
Il am convinced that Tom L. John
son will get three-cent fares In Cleve-
land, with three-cent service-if that
Is what the people Of Cleveland want
ITO my mind, the fare should follow
the service. The important thing is
to get the water out Of the company.
SO that the people may know that
they are paying only a fair profit on
an honest capitalization. Then the
rate of fare IL dependent solely on
the cost Of the service. and people
can get the rate of fare they want
according to the service they want.
In rearranging the Cleveland sys-
tenn. Johnson has --cut' on many
branches and dead ends that did not
pay; he has cut the lines in two in
places. given a service that was not so
frequent in many cases and made 9th
changes that cut of losses and
made the lines more economical to
run. But all these things irritate. The
man who Is accustomed to have the
cars run by his door does not like to
have that service done away with be-
cause 1t does not pay. He does not
like to wait for car longer than ne
used to.
THE same conditions would apply
here in Detroit If Johnson had the
operation OF our lines as he has those
of Cleveland. Some lines would have
to be done away with"

MICHIGAN DER IS
INVOLVED IN A
STRANGE CASE
RENEW FIGHT OVER FoRoER A.
J. WHITES lDENTirY-His UN.
Gle, cHAs. JOHNSON, OF NILES,
BANk.WREckER.

AUBURN; N. Y, Oct. 23.-The
strange case OF Andrew J. White.
whose identity lawyers. judges and
juries have been trying to solve for
four years, came up here today before
federal commission appointed to ex-
anime the object Of the odd quest.
White Is a convict in Auburn prison,
a fcrger from Cattaraugus county. Ho
was once convicted of larceny in Buff
falo, and as the amount involved was
small and for board bill. he was
sentenced TO 60 days in jail. He was
discovered to be insane and was sent
to Matteawan asylum. He had pre-.
viouSly served Jail terms for petty
crimes.
While in Mattewan In 1905, White
let It to be known that he was Geo.
Kimmel. formerly cashier Of the
Farn.Srs State bank at Arkansas City.
Kas.. who robbed the bank In 1898 and
Disappeared This news reached the
New York Life Insurance Co., in
which Kimmel was insured for $25,-
900. The queer fight then began, the
insurance company. on one side, en-
deavoring to prove that White was
Kimmel; the defaulting bankers rela-
tives, on the other hand, striving to
discredit the testimony offered by
White and the insurance company.
'fhe beneficiary under the insurance
policy is Mrs. Edna X. Bonsett, OF
Chicago. Kimmels sister.
Niles, Mich, Bank Named.
The investigation brought into the
case Charles A. Johnson. cashier OF
the First National Bank of Niles,
Mich, Kimmers uncle, who, In 1901,
at a time when Kimmels disappear.
ance had not been connected with the
alleged mailman In Matteawan, wreck.
ed his bank and was sentenced to ten
years In prison.
ity has been In progress White was
declared. in 1906, by q court to be
sane. He was discharged from Mat
teawan and went back to Cattaraugus
county, where he committed the for
gerry for which he Is now imprisoned.
Two months previous to Whites re-
lease from Matteawan the federal
court Ia ST. Louis decided against the
insurance company In a suit brought
against It by the receiver of the First
National bank OF Niles. Mich, for 81.
736 insurance on the life of Geo. A.
Kimmel. who had procured loaa
from his uncle, Johnson. cashier Of
the bank. on one OF his policies. The
fury held that the man White in Mat.
teawan was not Kimmel;; that Kimmel
was legally dead, seven years having
elapsed since his disappearance.
The case has been up in New York
state numerous times, but no definite
result has been reached.
