Dear Sir:
When the Vashon cable went
out and before we had time to ar
range for new cable, the condi-
tion of the money market got to be
such that it was next TO Impossible
to raise money for new constiuc-
ton. That was the simple truth Of
the matter, but that vas before il

hard up, as it has since become,

there has been some prospect of

after the order is received.
When the present company took
hold of this telephone system, the
old cable was laid at a place where
there is no right-of-way acrnssstle

FIGHT WON FOR
. BRYAN, Says WOOD
NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN ALSO
THINKS hEMANs HAS FINE
CHANCE OF ELECTION.

National Committeeman II. o. Wood
Of Flint. who was In Detroit Tues
day evening. said the feeling at head
quarters IL that the fight for Bryan
and Kern Is won. but activity would
continue to the close OF the polls on
election day. The party managers
had anticipated the eleventh hour
business scare Of the Republicans and
they ara confident the -hogie- has lost
its power as stampeding device
through over work. There Is the con-
viction in Chicago that Ohio. Indiana
and New York are securely Democrat
ic, judging by the drift Of sentiment
everywhere toward Bryan and the at
titude Of the laboring element.
Hemans' magnificent campaign In
Michigan gives the Democratic state
committee great measure OF hope.
Unless there Is an overwhelming Taft
wave In this state, which no one looks
for, Warmers defeat Is certain. Mr..
Wood said Democratic enthusiasm
and election day preparedness In
Michigan were never stronger or more
than this year.

SUSPECT arrested
IN TH|B0DEAU
BOY CASE
ALvAH e. LYON ANSWERS d.
scRiPTIoN OF AssAILANT--HE
CAN'T EXPLAIN BLOOD sPoTs
ON SHEARS HE CARRIES.

The first suspect arrested In con
nection with the fiendish assault % q,
year-old Mello Thibodeau last Satur-
day was brought In wednesday fore
noon by Detectives Reid and Good, of
the Central station. The man. who
is locked up pending investigation,
gives his name as Alvah Il. Lyon. He
is 36 years old. canvasser by occu-
patton and says he lives at No. EOS LIZ
Michigan-ave. He answers In q gem
eral way the description the Thibo-
deau boy gives Of his assailant.
In Lyons possession the detectives
found a pair Of shears with blood ON
them. and he was unable to give . sat
isfactory explanation of how the blood
came there.
Lyon says he cut himself while
shaving recently and that the blood
may have dropped on the shears ct
that time, but the police take no stock
in this story.
Reid and Good made the arrest ON
the strength Of information received
by them concerning the mans receut
movements. and considerable i'm
portance Is attached to the arrest.
He will be taken to Grace hospital
to be confronted by the Thibodeau
boy.
Lyon admits that he shaved or his
mustache two days ago, and the ex-
cuse he gives is that 1t was lighter
than his hair. That would make 1t the
same color as the mustache described
by the little victim. Lyon cannot &C
count for his movements Saturday, the
police say.
