SALOON MAN BORROWS
: CHURCH'S CASH-ROW

PITTSBURG, Feb. S.-Because a
saloonkeeper borrowed $4,000 from
the Third United Presbyterian church
here, there are prospects OF lively do
ings when the next governing board
of the congregation gets together. The
pastor OF the church is the Rev. j. T
McCrory. for many years a leader in
the temperance movement and known
throughout the state.
The fact that the money was want
ed TO erect a new saloon was not
known when the trustees voted 10
accept the mortgage on the property
but now the facts have become known,
and there is a general sdrmishing
among the trustees TO cancel the loan.
F. j. Bryne, a liquor dealer whose
place is now in Fobes-st., is the Dor
rover. He purchased a building OPP
posite the new ball grounds in Oak
land, and for this property ne paid
$4,000.
He needed money TO put the place In
shape for a first-class saloon, and APP
piled to broker to place mortgage
for S22, 900. The broker placed the
mortgage with the Third United Pres
byterian church. hence the row.

TO BAR MARRIAGES
OF CONSERVATIVES
PlTTS6URo REPRESENTATIVE IN.
PRODUCES BILL CALLING FOR
HEALTH CERTIFICATES.

HARRISBURG. Feb. S.-Marriages
of persons afflicted with pulmonary tn
Derculosis would be prohibited by the
legislatures passage OF IA bill intro.
duced In the house by Rep. II. A. Nc
Chung, of Pittsburg.
In order to accomplish this, the
McClung measure proposes that all
persons contemplating to enter into
the matrimonial state shall have a
physicians certificate setting forth
that the contracting parties are free
from tuberculosis and other diseases
specified.
There have been bills proposed to
bar marriages OF persons afflicted with
diseases other than tuberculosis, and
the designation or consumption as a
barrier as proposed, is a new feature
This measure is regarded by the medi-
cal fraternity as OF great importance
DR.. Samuel &. Dixon, state commits
sioner of health. said that. while the
provisions OF the bill were desirable
he believed that the effect would be TO
put premium upon Justification.
There Is no person who would
plead guilty to the exactions imposed
upon the marriage license applicant
In this measure. To my way of think
ing II would be placing premium
upon lying and dishonesty.
In every profession there are some,
who will do most anything for money,
and il would not be long before 1t
would be known that there were men
In the medical profession who would
give the necessary certificate as TO the
physical condition OF applicants affiict
ed with tuberculosis or other diseases
mentioned
1T will be great time In
the states history. when, having
properly educated the people into see
ing the good results from a bill like
this, 1t can be put in force and com
piled with"
1t is provided In the McClung bill
that marriage license shall not be
issued until each of the parties TO the
prospective contract shall file the re
uuired certificate. classification by
any physician In connection with a
certificate is made subject TO fine OF
$40 TO 500 or imprisonment for IL
days to six months.

STONY MONROE IS
CONVERTED TO
HOME RULE
WILL PUSH BILL GIVING CITIES
FREEST LATITUDE IN AMEND
ING OWN cHARTERs-HALL
TO DRAFT MEASURE.

James Stone Monroe, OF Ironwood
Gogebic county. chairman OF the deg
islative committee on city and villag'
corporations. acknowledged himself {
convert TO the doctrine Of municipal
home rule in the conference held IL
Mayor Breitmeyer's Office. Saturday
afternoon. Although still conservative
as TO details. Rep. Monroe declares
that he will do what he can TO report
out a bill giving the freest latitude |,
the people OF the various municipal
tiles To frame and amend their OWL
charters.
AS a result OF this conference. Coz.
poration Counsel Hally will draw up 4
general home rule bill on behalf of tbs
city OF Detroit. which will be intro
duced at Lansing and go 10 the com
mittee with other home rule bills
From the lot, the legislative commit
tee will piece together bill for the
whole state. The idea In having De
troit's legal adviser frame bill is
that In such way many conditions
will be covered which might not be
taken into account in bill Intro
duced by representatives of smaller
cities. Hally was member of the
constitutional convention, and also 3
member Of the conference committee
called together on this subject by the
Board Of Commerce recently.
Monroe holds that the charters az
framed and accepted by cities should
be subject TO the veto power of the
governor, attorney-general or some
other power. He is willing TO sup
port bill that will allow cities e.
adopt the commission plan OF govern
ment. however.
II seemed the opinion OF all present.
In the conference that tax matters will
be greatly affected by home rule, par
ticularly II Hally's idea OF allowing
municipalities 10 choose their own
subjects for taxation Is adopte !.
School boards will still be governed
by state laws. but. in the case OF De
troit. the water board would come un-
der the local charter
"All charters must contain within
themselves provisions for amendment
or revision" declared Rep. Monroe.
He admitted that one OF the greatest
obstacles TO home rule is the feeling
Ia most OF the counties regarding the
distribution OF the members of the
board of supervisors between the
cities and villages and the townships
An important assertion which he made
will be OF interest in future discus
sion, namely. that the legislature can
not now repeal special acts affecting
the charters OF cities. since such re.
peal must come from the municipal
tiles themselves hereafter.
Monroe declares himself willing that
general home rule law shall allow of
the referendum and initiative in NUM-
cipal matters. The cities may alsc
decide whether they care TO drop
parties In the town elections.
II is now almost certain that De
troit will have two special elections
during the coming year. AS the gen
eral home rule bill cannot be passed
after the regular state election. a spo-
cial election will have to be held 20
choose the members OF a city charter
revision commission Then another
election must be held to submit the
revised charter TO the people.
