At the Grand.

Il know every move in this game,
from the go to the cases. says Alder
man Jim Phelan, describing politics
in the terms of faro. George Broad
hurst, in this speech, adopted conscious
~ or unconsciously the classic device
of the playwrights, who wrote when
the drama was in it's infancy, putting
lines into the text to express his own
views. The man who wrote 1.-The Man
Of the Hour patiently knew every
move in the game of municipal politico-
finance-the game that consists of MAX
ing people think they are governing
themselves, when, as a matter of sheer
the world to do with the process. The
substance Of this play were to Mr..
Broadhurst's hand a score of times
over in the last three or four years, by
virtue Of what has been taking place
here and there throughout the country
the 'civic upheaval," as platitudinous
magazine writer's are fond of describing
it. But the adaptation of the material
and substance to the form of an every
day play, in four acts and running less
than three hours. called for special
knowledge of the game, as we'll as for
skill in dramaturgy, and Mr.. Broad
hurst shows, in the play to be seen at
the Grand on Thursday night, that he
took the trouble to learn every move,
from the go to the cases."

nnal moderate Improvement is con-
family noted although the rate of pro-
gross is very different in the leading
ccntcrs OF trade. Aside from the

Textile conditions show further

RAIL ROADS TIED UP IN MICHIGAN
Traffic Completely Abandoned on
Some Lines,

Detroit, Feb. 2O.-At least thirteen
passenger trains poked their pilots
into impervious snowdifts through
out Michigan and reports from out in
the state indicated that some of these
trains are still snowbound. Traffic was
completely abandoned on the Kala'
mazoo, Lake Shore and Chicago and on
the Port Austin division of the Pere
Marquette only one train was sent
over the line. The Allegan division
of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern was completely blocked, as
was also the Midland, Bay City and
Vassar division of the Michigan Cen
trail. The westbound Wolverine flyer
on the Michigan Central buried itself
near Comstock in drift out of which
five locomotives were unable to re.
lease it, but the passengers were
transferred to another train and were
carried past the drift on the east
bound track while one hundred men
were set at work with shovels to dig
out the snowbOund flyer" Other
trains were snowbound during the day

JAP CABINET FACES CRISIS
immigration Question Causes Stir
Among Politicians.

Toxic, Feb. 20.-The memorandum
OF the Japanese government in reply
to that OF the United States on the
subject of emigration was handed to
Ambassador OBrien.
1t is understood that it agrees in the
general terms with a number of sug
gestions made by the American gov
eminent and requires a further restric.
ton Of emigration by the practical
prohibition of laborers. The Japanese
government points out that the restric'
tons already enforced, including the
closing of emigration to Canada, Mex
leo and the Hawaiian islands, will
make further complaints from Amer
lea almost impossible.
Every evidence goes to prove that
the Japanese government has been I'M
sparing in its effort to avoid further
complications arising from the emigra
ton question, but the government Is
facing a powerful opposition from the
emigration companies, who are behind
a proposed resolution in the diet to
censure the foreign policy of Wis
count Hayashi, minister of foreign
affairs, toward. China, America and
Canada.
Should the resolution be introduced
in the diet it will probably be de
feated by narrow margin. It's pas
sage would certainly entail the resig
nation OF the cabinet.

Each Other Of Responsibility for the
Deed-Story Of the Crime.

Chicago, Feb. 20.-Willlam Jones,
also known as William Birmingham
and his wife, Alzina Jones. were found
guilty by jury in Judge Kerstens
court here of having kidnapped Lillian
Wulff twelye-year-old girl, from her
home in Chicago last December. The
punishment of Jones was fixed at
thirty years and that of his wife at
twenty-five years in the penitentiary.
The Wulff girl was enticsd from her
home in the southern portion of the
city by Alzina Jones early in Decem-
Der last year and forced to enter a
covered wagon in which Jones was
waiting. A week later the couple was
found near Momence, H., with the
child in their possession. The iden.
tity of the child was suspected by a
farmer, of whom information was
asked by the abductors as they tray
sled through the country, from widely
printed stories Of the kidnapping The
authorities were notified and Jones
and his wife were arrested and

blame upon his wife, asserting that it
was to console her for the loss of a
child by death that he took the child.
The woman on the other hand de-
clared, and so testified at the trial,
that she was forced by Jones under
threats of death to steal the child that
he might train her to beg for him.
She declared that all the while she
was persuading the little girl to &C.
company her she was menaced by
Jones, who sat in the wagon with a
shotgun In his hands. The Wulff
child took the stand in court and tes.
which was accomplished by promises
of candy and new pair of shoes, her
clothing was taken from her and
burned by the roadside and that she
was whipped by Jones ON several oc.
casion5 when she attempted to escape.
