DETROIT DECLINES AS
GRAIN-SHIPPING PORT

An inquiry is being made by the
Board OF Commerce into the reasons
for the decline OF Detroit as a grain
shipping port. There was but one
shipment OF wheat from this city by
water during the past year, that one
amounting to $4,000 bushels. which is
not q large cargo In these days OF
huge freighters.
Sugar beets seem To be responsible
for much OF the decrease. A great
many farmers have taken 10 cultivat
ing beets who formerly raised wheat
Rye has also come in for cultivation
and this Is used locally. The Local
mills also grind a larger proportion OF
the state crop, absorbing most OF the
wheat that comes to this port.
The information has been given the
Board of Commerce by Senator j. C.
Burrows that congress is not likely 10
pass any legislation In regard to the
Lincoln memorial in Washington dur
ing the remainder of this session. The
Detroit body had adopted resolutions
opposing the proposed bill to put the
memorial In place different from tina,
planned by the late Senator McMn
Ian.

ACCIDENT AT MACK AND MT.

A collision between west'bound

According 10 the passengers on the
Mack-ave. car. the brakes had been
working badly all the way down. and
when the car reached Mt. Elliott and
the Crosstown car Was passing. the
motorman was unable TO control the
brakes and struck the Crosstown car
near the rear platform. Some 10 men
were standing on the platform. but
none OF them was injured with the ex.
ception OF Groblewski. who works liz
the Sherwood Brass foundry. ana
Kraft. Is years OF age. who had just
started out 20 look for work. The snow
banks on the side OF the street I'M
doubtedly saved many others from
being badly bruised. for they were all
thrown heller SHELTER into the piles or
snow.
Two mail carriers. Chester Young

jured men into the saloon OF Julius
Tapert, where they were cared for
until the arrival OF the East End am

Roosevelt an Episode,
Says the N. Y. World

NEW YORK, Feb. ls.-The World
referring to the indictments that were
returned BY the federal grand
Jury n. Washington against the
Press Publishing Co, OF New YORK.
and Joseph II. Pulitzer. proprietor OF
that concern, which publishes the
World. says the prosecution. II II sue
ceeds. will place every newspaper IN
the country which circuIates in Wash
ington lat the mercy OF an autoorauc,
yainglorious president who Is willing
10 prostitute his authority for the graf
ifcation OF his personal malice.
The grand Jury also indicted Caleb
NJ Hamm and Robert II. Lyman. as
sociate publishers OF the World with
Mr.. Pulitzer, and the owners or the
Indianapolis News, Delavan smith and
Charles r. Williams, charging libel In
publications In connection with the
purchase OF the Panama canal.
The World says today:
Under this procedure there Is hard
ly an American newspaper proprietor
who would not be liable 10 criminal In
dictment in Washington II bis newspa-
per printed something offensive 10 the
president, even though the proprietor
might have been thousands OF miles
from his ONCE at the time OF such
publication and known nothing what
ever about IL. There Is hardly an ed
itor or writer or reporter who would
not be similarly liable TO indictment
at the whim OF president In ad-
dition TO this. all OF them would like
wise be liable To criminal indictment.
Mr. Roosevelt Is now abusing hts
great power as president 10 exploit
his political malice. These libel pro-
ceedings have no other object than
to enable Mr. Roosevelt To employ the
machinery OF the United States gov
eminent TO satisfy his personal desire
for revenge.
We say this reluctantly. but We say
IL without qualification, because II Is
true.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is an episode. The
World Is an institution"

For the fourth time, the sewer com
mittee OF the common council has re.
jected bids on the fifth section OF the
Watermsn-ave. public sewer. The first
hid was sl5,206 and the fourth was
$14,272. each successive bid having
been somewhat lower than the previ.
Gus one. There has been objection
TO each successful bidder as being an
employer OF non-union labor. Fred
Porath. Jr.. was lowest bidder the last

las we have made a saving on each

well try Il again" says Chairman
Wing.
The committee also heard the plea
