DETROIT BANKER
COMMITS suicide
CASHIER OF BANK DECLARES Az
+ FAIRS ARE ALL STRAIGHT.
Henry c. ?ottsr, Jr., Takes His Own
Life--cashisr Of Bank Declares That
His Affairs Are All straisht-lI
Health the Cause.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 4. - Henry G.
Potter, jr, Of Detroit. vice president
of the Peoples State Savings bank Of
this city, committed suicide at his
home shortly before 10 O'Clock this
morning. Potter had been suffering
from nervous prostration for some
time. About month ago he was
found unconscious from gas poisoning
In the bath room OF his house and rela-
tives said the gas had been turned on
accidentally.
Cashier George H. Lawson OF the
Peoples State bank stated TO the Asso
ciated Press Immediately after Pot
ter's death had become known that IL
was III health and nothing else which
impelled him to destroy himself. "Pot-
ter's affairs as vice president of this
bank were absolutely straight and all
right" declared Lawson. You cannot
make too strong the statement that
Potter's action bears no relation what
ever to his business affairs. He had
been suffering for months from heart
trouble combined with indigestion.
Time and again have seen him walk
into the bank with his hand pressed
over his heart and almost breathIess.
Potter had only one loan here at this
bank, not a large one at that, and IL was
amply secured by real estate mort
cages"

Uniformity Needed.

i Until the state supreme courI
passes on the question 1t Is evident
there will be no uniformity in THU
Estate in the enforcement OF the
Johnson anti-weapon law.
In some of the judicial circuits
men are serving time imposed by jus.
tices of the peace and In others time
resulting from grand jury indict-
ment and criminal or clrucuit couri
trial.
True the punishment is the same
by either method. but the methods
themselves differ. and. II one is right,
the other is wrong.
Only last week Judge Doolitt!e al
Huntington decided that justice Of
the peace has no Jurisdiction. Other
judges have decided that justices Of
the peace do have Jurisdiction.
1t seems under the circumstances
that the state supreme court should
nave acted ere This. and not having
acted there is complaint again Of
"the laws long delay"
Unfortunately, this state Of affairs
is likely to exist until some victim
pays the expense of having the ques.
ton laid before the supreme court.
There ought 70 be way to have uni.
formity In the enforcement of Grim,
inal law without having to wait fol
the supreme court to act on an ap.
peal. There ought to he way te
have ruling on the subject without
all that delay.
