GROCERs' MEETING.
IS IN FULL SWING
Nearly 400 Delegates Present and
They're Still Coming-President
Judson Will Retire.

William Judson, OF Grand Rapids,
made what he declares is his last an
nual address as president Of the Ma
tional Wholesale Grocers' association
Wednesday afternoon in the Hotel
Cadillac. where the association Is
holding its fourth annual meeting.
Mr.. Judson has been president since
the organization OF the body and feels
that he has had enough. The honor
is one that should be passed along,
he believes, and he makes the positive
announcement that he Will not be q
candidate for reelection.
The leading candidate mentioned
for the place is Douglas II. Bethard, OF
Jobst, BethGrd a. Co., of Peoria, Ill.
II is thought he will be elected with
out opposition.
The Cadillac lobby was literally
swarmed with wholesale grocers Wed
nesday morning. Delegates were
everywhere and every incoming train
brought new arrivals. The attendance
already has reached close to the AUD
mark. A more prosperous looking az
gregation of men was never gathered
together at one time under the Cad'i-
laos hospitable roof. They are men
who, II may be seen at glance, are
wont to, do things in a commercial
way-men of influence and power In
the world of business.
The convention room OF the Cadillac
was damned 10 the doors when the
opening business session was called
TO order by President Judson shortly
after 1870 o'clock, Wednesday Morn
ing. The Rev William +. Faber, rec
tor of ST. Paul's Episcopal church, de-
livered an invocation in the absence
OF Bishop Williams, who was un'
avoidably detained. President JudsoD
then introduced Mayor Breitmeyer,
who cordially welcomed the whole
salers TO the city and heartily indorsed
the purposes OF the gathering vita
reference to pure food legislation.
The mayor spoke briefly OF the de-
yelopment Of Detroit's wholesale
procery trade. comparing the great es-
Establishments OF the present with the
cid trading markets OF the early days.
The mayors remarks were received
WITH nearly applONdi. ilcSiuSh' '"N
son. In introducing him. could not re-
train from mentioning the recent
Board of Commerce trip to Milwau-
lee and the local men present fully
understood his references TO the
mayor as Floral Phil
The presidents response to the
mayor was largely in the nature OF a
historical sketch of Detroit and Mich
iean. which proved highly interesting.
In his annual address, Wednesday
afternoon. President Judson spoke In
Avery optimistic vein, dwelling on
the great good 10 be accomplished

ton 10 the museum of commercial
monstrosities to KEEP company with

He spoke in very complimentary
fashion of the work done by Secrc-
tary Deckman and other officers OF
the association during the past year.

iournment. the visitors were the
guests OF the Michigan Wholesale
Grocers' association and allied inter

.O.U. R. FRANCHISES
SANS "J0KERS'
No Quirk BY Which Company Can
Claim Extensions, Reports At
torney For Mayors Committee

/ There are no "jokers" in the fran
chises held by the Detroit United
Railway covering city streets.
Such Is the conclusion reached by
Clyde |. Webster, attorney for the
mayors Committee of so. who has fin
ished the report of the sub-commit-
tee on franchises In this report,
which covers 1872 pages of typewritiag.
every franchise is analysed and also
all resolutions affecting switches. turn
outs. etc.
Nowhere is there found any point
by which the life of any OF the old
franchises might be prolonged. The
report Will, therefore, show that a
number of old franchises have already
expired, these covering portions or
lines on which this claim of expiration
had been previously made by the city,
such as the portion OF Woodward-ave.,
between the railroad and Pallister-ave.
Two old franchises were found
which might be overturned on the
ground that some OF the conditions
had DOT been fulfilled, but these were
repealed and succeeded by others al
most a generation ago.
Included in Webster's work Is a
complete history OF every street rail
way company that ever owned aud
operated lines in this city. All the
franchises are also followed out in
detail, with further statement as 10
how each came into the possession Of
the ID. Y. II.
Mr. Webster is strongly OF the opin-
Ion that the perpetual franchises
granted by some of the townships.
decades ago were not constitutional.
and is inclined to believe, until the
courts say otherwise, that there is not
line the franchise of which runs
longer than until 1924.
The report was brought To the may
or's Office, Wednesday, and will go to
the general committee next Monday
night.

NEW YORK, June Take up my
affairs. I have the utmost faith in
your Judgment. will not hold you
responsible for any mistakes you may
make"
The late Henry H. Rogers is quoted
as having once said these words 10
Urban II. Broughton, his son-in-law.
They are remembered. now that a
successor to Rogers must take. up his
vast work.
Urban n. Broughton knows more
about Rogers affairs than does the
son of the dead fnancier. Mr.
Broughton has even taken Mr. Rog
ers' place on the witness stand at var
ious times, so thoroughly was he ac'
quainted with Rogers affairs.
Wall-st. Is inclined to believe that
young Henry H. Rogers. Jr., will not
have q full hand in swaying the af
fairs OF the Rogers family until
Broughton is ready to permit him to
do so.
