what is being accomplished. Fogs
and thick weather do interfere to
some extent with the waves of the
wireless system, but the system used
by the United States has no trouble
in any kind of weather. This govern
ment has taken the lead in wireless
matters, and it is advertising for the
erection of stations which will carry
messages 5000 miles in every direc-
ton. Our warships are to be equip
ped to send messages for at least
1000 miles and to receive over a dis
lance of 5000 miles. What the gov
eminent aims to do is to keep every
ship in touch at all times with Wash
ington.
This is possible. Admiral Evans
was at Magdalena bay in communica-
ton with a California station. An
operator near San Francisco recent

San Francisco and Honolulu are now

a plot Is said 10 be on foot TO make

for the benefit OF the few.
The present fight between Pinchot

were made at the conservation con-
gress In Spokane last summer. that
Ballinger was working directly against
the conservation policies OF Roosevelt.
Pinchot has waged the fight against
Ballinger with great bitterness and
the latter has insisted that the case
be Investigated by congress. This will
be done. but 1t Is charged that Pinchot
will be made scapegoat by the COM
mittee that has been packed by Aid

EDMUND CAMPAU
TAKEN BY DEATH
Scion of Wealthy Pioneer Family
Last Days Are Spent as Night
Watchman for City.

Scion of one OF the wealthiest and
most influential OF Detroit's old
pioneer families. Edmund Campau.
aged so, died poor man in st. Mary's
hospital Monday. The funeral was
held Thursday morning in Romeo,
where his aged mother and sister now
reside.
Once rich, Mr.. Campau had been
employed latterly as night watch.
man for the city. Before that he
worked at the painter and decorators
trade. For the past fourteen years he
had boarded In the house at No. ESQ
Chene-st., now occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. George Trevor He had hosts Of
wealthy relatives and some OF them
often importuned him to make his
home with them, but he always re-
jected their kind offers. Nothing could
induce him to remove from this par
ticular neighborhood. where there
were so many associations old and
dear TO him.
At Catherine and Chene-sts.. only
block from Mr.. Campau's boarding
place. stands the old Campau home
stead. a substantial brick structure,
Here Edmund and his brothers spent
their childhood days, and merry days
they were, for his father, the late
Theodore Campau, was then at the
hight OF his prosperity as one OF the
city's largest contractors.
The last big job Mr.. Campau, Sr,
undertook for the city was the laying
OF the sewer in Woodward-ave., from
Jefferson-ave down to the river. Many
unforeseen difficulties were encoun-
tered. with the result that Mr.. Cam
pau lost heavily. Other reverses from
time TO time swept away large part
OF the original fortune.
Edmund Campau was a man OF
splendid educational attainments and
could talk entertainingly on almost
any subject. At no time did he ever
lose sight of the fact that he was a
Campau and his gentle breeding
showed in every act
Mr.. Campau was found In his room
at No. 2S0 Chene-st about 10 o'clock
Monday morning City Physician
George II. Voelkner was called and
found that he was suffering from con-
gestion OF the lungs. Mr.. Campau
was removed To the hospital. where he
expired late Monday afternoon. Mr..
Campau had had two previous attacks
within the past few weeks and had
complained OF feeling iii for two or
three days before stricken with his
fatal Illness
AS Mr.. Campau rarely spoke OF him
self or his family. the Trevors had
some difficulty in locating the rcla-
tives at first. AS soon as they learned
OF his death, however. several OF them
came forward TO render any service
within their power. II was thought
best TO hold the funeral In Romeo and
the remains were taken TO that village
"Wednesday.
Mr.. Campau was never married. He
was a cousin two or three degrees re-
moved OF Daniel ]. Camrhu.

OVER
BELLE ISLE CASINO
Two Members Oppose New Lease To
Konen-Ad. Thompson Favors
Municipal Operation.

With five members Of the park com
mittee OF the common council willing
to award a lease OF the Belle Isle ca
sino for two years to William Konen,
the present lessee. at $4,000 year
and two members firmly opposed
thereto, the situation as regards the
running Of the city's big restaurant
building Is still undecided after a
month or two OF consideration.
The two opposing members can. II
they so desire, prevent confirmation
OF the contract until the terms of the
old council committee expire and new
ones are appointed. Then the prob
lem would be taken up all over again.
IL do not know whether / will even
make report" stated Aid. Freiwald,
chairman OF the committee, after the
latter had finished long and scrappy
session.
Aid Thompson opposes the lease to
Konen because he believes that the
city should buy Konen's equipment
and run the place itself; Shapland
wants to see the prices Of food scaled
down to the reach OF people of mod
crate means and then wants bids
taken for the two-year lease. -
Alu. rTeiWdiu, ftelneHlhn, hutleI,
Heating and Ostrowski are In favor OF
another term for Konen, at rental
considerably reduced from what he is
at present paying. The argument for
this Is that Konen will give better
service than anyone else, and that the
taking of bids would open the possi-
bility of some person getting the con-
cession who would give the public
poor service or second-class food.
The arrangement favored by the
majority Of the committee would
change the present conditions at Belle
Isle casino In several particulars. Per-
sons purchasing meals OF moderate
cost would eat in any portion Of the
casino. walters to be furnished who
will take orders without being tipped.

from Is to 80 cents. have been arrang-
ed to provide relief for the people who
cannot afford the la carte prices that
Konen has charged. These a la carte
prices are TO be under the supervision

to alter them. He would not state
Thursday morning whether he would
do this or not.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Today Saturday is Christ
mas Day, the day of all days.
The MESSENGER wishes every
one of its readers "A Merry
Christmas and it is our sincere
hope that you all may enjoy
this Christmas as you never en-
joyed one before. Between now
and the first of the year we
should take as much time as
we possibly can from our bust
ness and give it to the making
of those around us happy and
glad that they have lived to
see another Christmas time.
1t is very pleasant to give
gifts to our friends, but there is
such a thing as overriding it.
There is no real necessity to
expend great sums for our real
friends. They are satisfied and
rejoice in being remembered
and they appreciate the gift for
the sentiment surrounding it
more than for its intrinsic
value. Let us all bear in mind
the true reason for Christmas
celebration. We are celebra-
ting today the birthday of a
king; yea, the King of kings,
and it is fitting we should re-
joice and be happy for since the
beginning of time to the present
no event has happened to equal
that which we are now prepar-
ing to celebrate. While we re.
,ice let us do it in a becoming
tanner. Let us remember that
9 mission of this King is TO
re the world. He came into
world to conquer sin and
=eath, not by the sword but by
his teachings of love and mercy.
Let us remember this during
this holiday season and be His
faithful servants, carrying
gladness and joy with us
wherever we go.
Once more, the MESSENGER
wishes you Merry Christmas.
