PORT HURON MURDER MYSTERY.
Police Looking for the Rev. ]. H. Car
michael.


Detroit, Mich, Jan. lit became
known at Port Huron, Mich, Saturday
that the Rev. John II. Carmichael, the
minister Of the Battle Run Methodist
church, in which Gideon Browning was
butchered last Tuesday night, bought a
ticket from Port Huron TO Chicago the
day after the murder and presumably
left for that city. The idea seems to
be gathering weight among officers and
detectives that if the missing preacher
is the perpetrator Of the dreadful butch
cry in the little church, it must have
been insanity which impelled him to
do it.
Officers Saturday went to the church
TO investigate the we'll in front Of it.
There are several feet of water in it
and it has been covered with ice since
Tuesday Right. Since thei dea obtained
foothold that possibly the murderer may
not have crammcd all of his victims
body into the sove of the church. there
has been a feeling that the well may
contain some portions of BrOwnings
body. The officers again Saturday took
Mr.. Carmichael from her home in Adair
to Port Huron for further examination
The Detroit police Saturday took pos
session of the two novels written by
Rev. Mr.. Carmichael and sent to his
friend, Rev. G. w Baldwin Of that city,
for an opinion OF their merits They
will be examined in the hope that they
may throw some reflection on the state
of mind OF Carmichael of late.
Policemen throughout Chicago Satur-
day were given detailed description
of Carmichael.

track between the Iowa Central depot
and the railroad bridge about o'clock
Wednesday morning, found a mail
pouch lying between the tracks some

it to the depot. On being opened by the

seems that 1t was thrown from the fast

The COMMISSION PLAN.

Des Moines is trying to make Sioux
City a convert to the commission gov
eminent plan. The Sioux City Journal
has sounded a warning that the COM
mission plan should not be considered
as a cure-all, that unless better men
were elected there Is no advantage In
q change to the commission govern
ment. The Des Moines Register and
Leader admits that no government can
be very good that is not administered
by good men, but 1t insists that by
fixing responsibility and putting every
man UP where the people can look at
him and take note of exactly what he
Is doing, a condition is brought about
under which the commonest man will
not shirk. The right of the people to re-
call a member at any time Is held as
another guaranty of the best service
the commissioners know how to give.
No man, it says. is SO low in public
morals that he wants to leave a rec
ord of recall to his family. AS to the
question of lettering the personnel OF
an administration by the adoption of
Ia commission plan the Des Moines
paper holds the old system of govern
ment permits sinking. A fairly good
man, 1t says, will dodge when he
knows the responsibility cannot be To-
Gated. On the other hand it says the
new system makes it impossible to

The experience Of Mr.. Crane in
being recalled just as he was about to
board steamer to take the important
post of minister to China and in being
forced to resign the post to which he
had been appointed should be lesson
to those government officials who are
inclined to garrulity. Mr.. Crane was
made to appear In very indiscreet
light by calling in the newspaper cor
respondents to discuss with them at
fairs In China before he had gained
anything better than a third hand
knowledge OF the affairs which he was
discussing. Secretary Knox appears
to have sound reasons for objecting to
such brand of diplomacy. Secretary
Knox Is held responsible for the con-
duct Of affairs Of state and he has a
right to insist on doing all the talking
necessary concerning the affairs OF
his department.

| business and market developments
SINCE the passage of the tariff bill
| nave been giving concern to men who
VIII be called upon to present de-
Tense of that measure in the campaign
next year. Democrats are extracting
eminent satisfaction. and are in
dependent Republican supporters of
the men who voted against the meas
ure. from various movements in the
markets.
The effects of the cotton and wooden
schedules are being watched with
especial interest because the most Bit
| Ter attacks were made on both of
these. AS to these, the defenders of the
bill are placed at peculiar disadvan-
tages. Prices of raw cotton haze gone
| up Sharply on account of the small
crop IN the south. Entirely aside from
all consideration of the tariff duties,
prices must advance because of the
hlgh price of raw material. There is
report of a slow movement of cotton
FABRICS IN various lines, because of the
increased prices; and from the cotton
centers of the south comes announce
ment that within a fortnight mills In
that section must begin shutting down
because Of the impossiblity of market
ing the products at present prices.
Just now, 1t is explained, the cotton
ISoStS liidS etS peluS turned are the
product of cotton which was bought at
II cents or less. With everything indi-
eating that 10 cents will be the ruling
price OF the new crop, prices are going
up and demand is being reduced.
But from Manchester comes report
that the British and Italian manufac-
turers are managing, somehow, to UNI
dersell the Americans in certain mar
kets of the levant and orient. and are
Igetting the business. This has served
TO put American buyers on inquiry as
TO whether the prices made by Amer
lean mills are being pushed upward
faster than is necessary.
AS to the trade In wooden fabrics, an
excellent illustration of conditions is
AFFORDED by the experience Of the gov
eminent forest srvice. which buys uni
forms for some 1900 rangers in its
employ. They have been secured under
contract with Cincinnati firm. Uni
forms of corduroy are used In certain
forests, while wooden ruits are neces-
sary in others.
The manufacturers of the clothing
have served notice that under the
terms of the contract they must either
annual 1t at end of the year, or have
| higher prices. as to the wooden goods
There is no occasion for an advance in
the corduroys. but the worsteds must
go up because the prices of cloth have
sharply advanced. Aft investigation
the officers of the service have become
convinced that the increase is unavoid-
able, and they will continue the old
contract, granting the advances. Tbs
case illustrates conditions generally in
