The rural carriers from the Owosso
Office and probably all the other offices
in the county-have received supply
of cards from the bureau of immigra-
tion and naturalization of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor TO be de-
livered to the patrons on their routes
making inquiry as to whether farm
laborers, common laborers or mechan-
les are needed for the coming season.
This information is sought to enable
the bureau to distribute the foreigners
coming to this country to points where
there is demand for their services and
to keep them from locating in such
large numbers in the big cities. A re-
turn card is attached 80 that if any one
wishes to avail himself of this proffer
of assistance he can make known his
wants and blank application will be
sent him. No charge is made or fee
accepted either from employer or en-

Washington, March 16.-Michigan
farmers are licensed to be pleased over
the tariff bill which Rep. Serene Payne
of New York, will introduce into the
house probably to day. While coal and
iron ore and many other trust articles
are hit with big tariff reduction and
some placed on the free list, yet the
farmers emerged from the bloody battle
in the ways and means committee with
flags flying.
For Michigan farmers there is the
retention of the Dingley tariff on beans,
45 cents per bushel. Mr.. Paynes COM
mittee. through the strenuous efforts OF
the Michigan bean raisers, was almost
driven to the conclusion that the VOL

Union Telephone Co. viii Not Change
It's CapitaIix alton.

The stockholders in the Union Tele-
phone Co. have been greatly interested
for some weeks past in change pro-
posed in the issuing of stock by which
stockholders would have been given in
addition to their present holdings half
as much common stock, their old stock
to be classed as preferred. The issue of
common stock was to be limited to
1887, 900 and it was to be the voting
stock. The board of directors stood
eleven to one in favor of the new plan,
the dissenting director being 5. e.
Parkill OF this city, who made deter
mined fight against the plan and had
the satisfaction of winning by very
decisive and flattering vote, going into
the meeting at Alma on Wednesd ay,
with almost enough votes alone to de-
feat the plan. Proxies came to him
from all parts of the country in reply TO
his circular letter, in addition TO which
he had fully S5 per cent of the proxies
of the stockholders in this county.
The annual report of the secretary as
to the condition of the company was
highly gratifying to every stockholder
present and the future oe the CONF paDy
seems very bright. The out going
board of directors was declared elected
for another year.

FORDNEY SAVES FARMERS

Wins in Fight For Protection All Michigan Industries Including
Beet Susar-s2. .OOOO 900 Saved on Beans
Little Change in New Bill on Agricultural Fro
ducts Raised in Michigan.


High protectionists had to yield to
the revisionists somewhere, and so 1t
happened that the tariff on cabbages is
reduced from five cents to two cents
per head, but not often a human cab
5age head would dream of importing
cabbage from Canada in the face of a
two-cent tax, Barley took some reduc-
ton, but the tariff under the Dingley
act was prohibitive, and the new sched-
ule is also.
FoRDNEY AND SUGAR BEETs.
Joseph w. Fordney once again rallied
around the standard of his dear sugar
beet. He secured provision in the
bin which makes it definite that i'm
ported sugar beets must pay 25 per
cent ad valorem. The necessity Of this
is understood 20 have arisen from a
fresh case originating in Michigan.
Sugar beets from Canada were entered
at Port Huron to be worked up in fac
tory on the eastern side of the state
The importer paid the 20 per cent du ty
under protest, claiming that this par
ticular kind of beet, being intended fol
table use, came under schedule which
imposed a 10 per cent tax. This case
has not yet been decided, but whatever
the decision may be Fordney has fixed
it to the pending bill so that the Michi-
gan farmer is to have the advantage o.
the % per cent tariff.

LID" ON CENTRAL AMERICA


Washington, ID. c., July 3O.--With
SO many contradictory reports in
circulation as to tie purposes Of the
United tSates government in Central
America the real object Of the State
Department is obsc IrbeG 1t may
he stated fatty that the Taft admin
istration desires 70 es5lblisa no prs
tect0rates for the sake of extending
American inAuence. The difficulties
which the President has experienced
in Ike eping the lid on in the Philip
pines, Cuba, AMI Panama have con-
vIiccd him Lha' the government has
eLOugh irons II the ire. Neverthe-
less, the c9ntinGarce5 of turbulent
conditions in certain Central Ameri-
can republics, notably Guatemala
Nicaragua, Gnd Honduras IMPOSES a
responsibility = tie Washington gov
ernment which it cannot evade. nor
does it wish IL I'D 81. 1t is hoped
here, however, thai the restless con-
dition due to Ion utilization with the
iDsurrectionary habit may be cured
without recourse to proectorates or
diplomatic intervention.
The greatest danger to the inter
ests of the United States in Cen
trail America fingers in the possible
coercion of delinquent states by Eu-
ropean creditor powers. Therefore,
the State Department is favoring
every opportunity that arises for the
concentration Of the obligations of
these states in American hands. That
done, the United States will have not
only the moral argument of its role
as policeman of the western hemi-
sphere" but also a distinct CONNER
cial reason for any representation
it may make to put an end 10 petty
quarreling and chronic revolution.
In such a course the government
has the support of the progressive
states, which feel that
the revolutionary republics are a re-
preach to the name Latin America 1t
also has the support of powers like
Great Britain, Germany, France, and
Italy, whose subjects hold Central
bonds These powers are
being constantly importuned to take
strong measures to make the de-
faulting states pay up.
They dislike to act by force Of
arms, because punitive expeditions are
never popular in an international way
and offer possibilities of complica- |
tons with other powers, especially !
he United tSates, which is so sensi- |
i've about the Monroe doctrine.

AMtRlCUS Is EVEN IN

Wins One Game, Lost One

Champs Fare Badly At
Hands of Umpire
Yesterday

Atlanta, alias Albany, took the con-
Guiding game from the Champs yes
terday afternoon by the score of to
2. His Umps, Johnson, seems 10
have been decidedly on the lineup
for Albany, as might have been ex-
pected, inasmuch as he materially as
sisted in the defeat of the Champs.
The Champs started things in the
first inning by taking advantage of
the Albany misplays, Peddy and By
mum scoring, with the latter pulling
in safe hit. In the second inning
the Champs hit for two safe ones, &c.
d" getting two-bagger, but no
score made.
Again in the third Wilson pulled
down safe one.
In the fourth inning however, His
jumps Joined in the game and put
Keene safe on first on a foul ball to
right, which he called fair. Davidson
of Atlanta famed, and Brown was
safe on &c. DIS" error.
Cox came to the bat at this time and
landed on one with some ability. put
ting it over the fence, clearing the
bases. Reed, of Atlanta, followed
with a two-bagger, but it did him nc
good Score Albany 3, Americas 2.
In the seventh, that is usually
lucky for the Champs there was
nothing doing. Three up and three
down.
At this time the seven Atlanta chaps
did some hitting, Reed and Farris
each getting a hit, Johns followed
with a bunt, forcing Reed at third
Martin followed with sacrifice, scor-
ing Farris, Keen hit for safety, DAY.
1dson followed with a long drive to
outfield, scoring Johns Score Albany
5, Americas 2
In the eighth, Newkirk hit for
a triple, Cox following with a sacri-
! flee that scored Newkirk. The ap.
| preciative fans made up a purse oil
forty dollars for Cox. who seems tc
have been the star of the Atlanta ag-
gregation.
The good treatment reported Or
the previous day, seems to have been
merely bait. Several times wher

AMERICUS is AGAIN IN
FORCE AT THE GAME
CiyiIity Wins and Crowds
Went Again.

Americas fans rallied again yes
terday in the camp of the enemy,
probably two hundred people, includ-
ing many ladies, going to Albany by
train and automobile to witness the
concluding game there between the
Americas and Atlanta players.
Interest was at highest tension, and
every fan who could get away rallied
with the invading host marching on
to Albany.
No otker game of the season arous-
ed half as much interest
The splendid work of the Champs
in the opening game there on Thurs
day, pitted as they were against a
team of nine trained league ball play
ers, the best talent that Albany money
could hire in Atlanta, induced the
crowd here to go down.
Professional ball tossers hold no
terror for the Champs. They have
met and defeated the hired men here
and elsewhere already and can do it
again.
Not a single Albany man has faced
Americas in the last three games, and
but two in the first game. Yet they
| held their own we'll, beating the best
league talent, including Rohn, Man
gum. Davidson and a half dozen others
hired by Albany.
And back again the local fans went
yesterday to witness the finish fight
of the series.
Throughout the morning hours ball
dope" was distributed upon every
hand. In business houses, stores,
banks, offices, courthouse. in parlors
and on the street corners nothing but
yesterdays game was discussed
1t was known that Johns, The sold
Ter pitcher from Fort Mcpherson
world throw the sphere for Albany,
but we had Ansley, Millirons, Wilson
and Perryman, and didn't fear the
whole United States army Our men
are just as good as Johns.
Absolute confidence was expressed
upon all sides in the ability of the
| Champs to hold their own.
Manager Bell spent the morning
here, going back to Albany at p.
m. SiXty-five Americas people went
by train while twice that number went
in automobiles
The very civil and courteous treat
ment accorded the Americas team and
Americas people in Albany on Thurs
day was favorably commented upon,
and was the cause of many going back
yesterday. 1t was more generous
than expected.
