KALAMAZOO, Mich. May 25.-W.
Z. Tallmadge, president Of the Mich
igan State Humane association, in an
address at the annual convention, yes
terday afternoon, said the interest IN
the work was not so great as il
should be. He favored the plan Of
appointing paid agents to do inspec'
tion work for the society.
Il believe that those who maltreat
animals and children should be taught
the right, and when this does not sue
coed, the law can afterwards step in

said.
e. s. Udell, OF Grand Rapids, spoke
on vivisection. He bitterly attacked
IL, declaring it to be cruelty TO satisfy
curiosity. He declared that science
had gained nothing by II and called
persons practicing it "wretches."
James F. Hill, of Detroit, told OF the
necessity or devoting more time to-
wards protection of children. He de-
clared that greater work could come
only through increased membership.
At the evening session, Jefferson

MAY COMPROMISE
ON ISLAND FARES
Sale of 0ne-Way Fares From Belle
Isle for Late Boats Would Settle
Squabble, It's Believed.

Following the expected refusal by
the Detroit, Belle Isle & Windsor
Ferry Co. to accept any of the three
propositions made by the council or
dinance committee, several OF the
more thoughtful aldermen are pre-
pairing TO advocate plan OF compro-
mise which may permit the ferries "a
run TO Belle Isle on terms that will
be fair to the company and to the
patrons as well.
Aid. Ellis and link are among those
who favor the amendment of the ordi'
nance so a. to provide for the sale
of only l0-cent tickets, good for pleas
ure-riding and also for return trip
with the one exception that five-ceni
one-way tickets shall be sold from
Belle Isle to the city docks after 8 sc
in the evening. These would serve "a
aid In getting the crowds away from
the island on warm summer evenings

conveyances are inadequate for the
thTong. Such fares would be legiti'
mate one-way travel. as it would be
too lite for pleasure-riding then. and

would be gone from the boats.
No hardship would be entailed on
anyone by this plan, as persons start
ing from the city docks would merely
have to buy round trip tickets. Mayor
Breitmeyer has taken vigorous stand
In favor of better arrangement OF
fares.
"Four-fiushers who are trying for
something they cannot get" is the

fares which the company has found

day afternoon. rejected the amend
ment by Senator McCumber placing
lumber on the free list. The ballot
showed sc against and % for the
amendment. The lumber schedule OF
the tariff bill was under consideration
almost the entire day with Senators
Root. Hepburn, Borah and Dolliver

when has the doctrine of free raw ma

Democratic party" Aldrich insisted
that Grover Cleveland and other men
conspicuous In the Democratic party
had advocated the policy OF free raw
materials. He said these men had
made the Democratic party in their
time. Bailey said they had unmade
It.
The surprise of the day was the at
titude OF Senator Dolliver, who here
tofore has stood with the progress
sives' throughout the present tarif
fight. He took positive position
against the radical demand for free
lumber, but expressed the opinion thai
the industry would not suffer from 4
reduction Of the Dingiey rates.
Senator Root opened the days pro
