Especial. although Lanedon Case is
72 years old and carries q bullet in
his brain, he is just as happy today
as he had been during the years be-
fore he reached the allotted three
score AID ten and manages to do his
share OF the farm work at the home
or his daughter in Richmond.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Case became
respondent and determined to hasten
his advent into another world and to
this end secured a rope. He made a
nose out OF it, but when the crucial
moment arrived he did not have the
nerve to hang himself.
Then he went to Armada, where he
purchased q revolver and some car
tridges and this time his nerve did
not fail. He put the muzzle OF the
revolver in his mouth and pulled the
trigger. the bullet entering his brain.
He was unconscious when physi-
clans were called but they were I'M
able to discover any trace of the bull
let. The doctors are now convinced
that II is lodged in his brain and his
case Is puzzle.

BLAMES M0THER-IN-LAW
FOR ALL HIS DOMESTIC WOE
She Constantly Nasaed Him, Says
John L. Crandall, Answering
Wife's Divorce Bill.

Too much mother-in.law is the rea-
son given by John l.. Crandall for his
troubles with his wife, Mabel c. Gran
dali, in an answer, filed Tuesday, to
her suit for divorce.
The Crandalls were married In 1908,
and went on a wedding trip to Cali
fornia. The husband alleges in his
s-bill-that- twas agreed that-h4s
wife's mother, Mrs. Carrie K. Brown,
was to go for an extended visit with
relatives in the east, leaving the home
on Vinewood-ave. for them upon their
return from their trip. He alleges,
however, that she was still there
when they returned, and refused TO
leave. He said he protested against
her remaining, but she insisted upon
staying and did stay. He charges that
his mother-in.law did all the market,
ing and insisted upon running things.
She nagged constantly, he alleges, and
was never satisfied unless there was a
quarrel in progress and she was TAX
ing a prominent part. Crandall says
his wife's mother went away for an
extended visit once. and during that
time ne and his wife lived as happily
as a couple could, but that within an
hour after her return she was pack
ing up the furniture and insisting that
her daughter leave him.
Mrs. Crandall charges her husband
with cruelty, and alleges that he beat
her because she would not ask her
mother for more money.

SENATOR OWEN SPEAKS

ed the senate In support OF his reso-
luton for an amendment TO the con.

The greatest of all issues, not
only In the United States but
throughout the civilized world, is the
issue of popular government, or the

The vital question Is Shall the
people rule? Shall they control the
mechanism OF party government?
Shall they have the direct power 10
nominate, to legislate, to vote, free
from corruption, intimidation, or
force?
The great evil from which the
American people have suffered in re-
cent years has been the secret but
well-known alliance between CONNER
Cial interests and machine politics,
by which commercial interests have
endeavored and often succeeded in
obtaining legislation giving them
special advantages In nation, state,

MONROE, Mich, May 3l.-Of all the
stories that have come down Of the re-
markable life history OF Gen. Geo. A.
Custer, none is more interesting than
that told BY Frederick A. Minis, who
was personal aide to Gen. Custer in
the civil war. Mr.. Minis Is living here.
He Is a retired farmer Saturday when
the imposing equestrian statue of Gen.
Custer is unveiled Mr.. Minis will be
there to gaze, with thousands OF 9th
Crs, upon the memorial in which shines
the splendor Of brave soldier, strick-
en- down by the Indians In the mas
sacre OF the Little Big Horn river in
Montana.
When the north and the south were
arrayed against each other In the
greatest conflict of modern times,
young Custer was snatched from the
military precincts OF West Point,
where he had graduated on June "a,
1861, as second lieutenant. He was
assigned TO the Second United States
cavalry. This regiment had formerly
been commanded by Robert K. Lee,
who, shortly after young Custer Joined
the regiment, had left the United
States army and cast his lot with the
state Of Virginia.
Young Minis, then about 20 years
old. two and a half years younger than
Custer, Joined the Fifth Michigan cav

ALDERMEN FAIL TO
ENTHUSE OVER
NJ. j. R. GRANT
Committee Members Declare They're
Opposed To Complaining Local
Traction Situation by Granting
Franchise for Single Line.
Agreement by Company To Sell
Terminal in Event of Public Owner
ship Suggested as Compromise.

That he Michigan United Railways
Co. is very unlikely TO gain an en-.
trance TO the city for its interurban
system at this time was shown In the
meeting OF the council franchises
committee, Tuesday morning. This
in spite OF the fact that Sanford W
Laid, general counsel for the com
pany and the petitioner for the fran
chise, displayed disposition to con
siderably modify the terms of the
grant sought in favor Of the city.
Most OF the committee members
and other aldermen present expressed
themselves as or the opinion That this
is not an opportune time, to compli
cate the street railway situation by
granting a franchise for a single line
In view of the fact that general
settlement may be had, either by an
agreement with the ID. U. r. or by
adoption of municipal ownership
several advanced the idea that II
would not be best TO submit the NJ,
U. r. proposition separately to the
people and in advance Of the others.
Aid. Gutman proposed a compro'
mise plan which was taken under ad
visement and which may prove so
luton. His proposal is that the M. v
r. enter into an agreement with the
city whereby, II the city decides on
municipal ownership, the M. U. X
will sell It's city line to the municipal
ity at cost, less depreciation, with q
guarantee from the city that the NJ
u. r. be allowed to use this line for
its interurban cars at a fair rental
Attorney L0add stated that he would
take this up with the Nj. U. X. direct
ors and the aldermen will refer II tc
Corporation Counsel Hally for his
opinion as to whether the city car
legally enter into such a contract
TT seems to me that such plar
would be fair to both city and com
pany," said Gutman.
1t was made plain that the counci
committee considers only two OF tie
~ optional routes submitted by th'
M. U. r. for its entrance line as Teas
lille. One of these would be the iin'
down Livernois and Michigan-aves.
while the other Is the proposed linz
down Junction-ave. and Fort-st. Eitli
er OF these would require use OF
street now used by the d. U. r. Tbs
other routes were dismissed as NO
being desirable, those including La
fayette boulevard being particularly
frowned upon.
At the beginning Of the session, At
torney Laid told the aldermen that
the NJ. U. R. considers the three es
sential points to be rate OF fare. con
ditions as to foundations and paving
and length Of franchise.
I'VE have offered you a rate Of

expect to get. You will not get any
