ACTION TO GUST
DICKINSON STARTS
Sigmund Rothschild Estate Wants
Him Displaced as Trustee OF
Mining Property.

A lawsuit that promises to be a
long-fought and hotly-contested affair
began before Judge Mandell, Monday
morning, when the estate OF the late
Sigmund Rothschild started action to
GUST Don NJ. Dickinson as trustee OF
twenty quarter sections OF mining
property in Marquette county, valued
at upwards of $1.000,G00. Not only Is
Mr.. Dickinson. trustee, a position he
held for 80 years, but he owns large
equity in the property, which includes
some of the most valuable iron lands
in the upper peninsula. The property
Is now leased to the Bird Iron Co. 1t
is charged by the plaintiffs that Mr.
Dickinson Is not physically able to
perform his duties.
Action was first started In Mar
quette county about q year ago, when
an Injunction was granted, restraining
Mr.. Dickinson from paying out rents
among the benefciaries. This was
dissolved by Judge Flanagan. Be-
fore his elevation to the bench, Judge
Flanagan was attorney for the Bird
Mining Co., and for that reason he
asked the Wayne county court to try
out the question of Mr.. Dickinsons
fitness as trustee, and the case was
transferred here.
The plaintiffs are represented by
Keena, Lightner & Oxtoby; T. A. T..
Weadock appears for Mr.. Dickinson;
Judge Look and Duncan c. Beth rep
resent David Shaw, who Is associated
with Mr.. Dickinson in the defense, and
Angel, Boynton, Stevens, Mcmillan Il
Bodman will also act for other parties
interested with Mr.. Dickinson.
The defense will maintain through
out the case that the suit against Mr..
Dickinson was started In revenge for
his action more than year ago In
asking for an accounting of the Roths-
child estate, which he claims owes
him in the neighborhood OF 100000.
This case is held up until the present
action Is settled.

POLICE PLAN TO
. ARREST W|ECHERs
Will Try To Trace Him Through
Telegram From Sister-Again
Offers Conditional Surrender.

Judge Connolly received a letter
Monday morning, from "WoIf' Wiech'
ers, betrayer OF Rosa REM, whose con,
viction In the recorders court has
been affirmed by the supreme court
and whose bail bond of $4,000 will
be declared forfeited.
The letter is dated from New York
city. The receipt of a telegram by
Assistant Prosecutor Fitzpatrick from
Mrs. Veronica Melcher, Wiechers' sis
ter, coincident with the receipt OF the
letter by Judge Connolly, would make
It appear that Wiechers Is merely
jockeying for time and Judge Connol-
ly, in view OF the circumstances, has
decided TO pay no attention to the mis-
sive.
Wiechers' letter explains that he
has just been Informed through his
attorneys, Bumps 4 Bishop. that his
conviction has been affirmed and his
bond will be forfeited IL he doesn't
give himself up. He declares that he
is willing to surrender himself In De.
troit, Lansing or Marquette at once.
He says he will do this with the under
standing that the Judgment against
him and his bondsmen be set aside.
He explains that his sister Is one Of
those who Is on the bond and that q
large amount of her property is tied
up In 1t. He asks that reply be sent
him In care of his sister, Mrs. v.
Melcher, No. 1890 Garfield-st., Mil.
waukee, Wis.
Strangely enough, Assistant Prose
cutor Fitzpatrick received a telegram
from Mrs. Melcher, regarding the bail
bond. But It was not from Milwaukee;
1t was from New York city.
There has been a conference be-
tween Fitzpatrick and Chief of Detec.
tives Mcdonnell, presumably with ref.
erence to apprehending Wiechers. The
police think that IL an answer Is sent
to Mrs. Melchers' telegram In New
York, 1t can be traced directly to
Wiechers. 1t Is altogether probable
that this plan will be followed.
The police are almost certain that
the letter and the telegram are from
the same source. There remains but
four days before Wiechers' bond be
comes forfeited, the supreme court
having fixed Aug. IL as the day.
A somewhat similar offer OF sur
render was received from Wiechers by
Attorney General Kuhn several days
ago.

EARLY SESSION DOCKET HEAVY
Justice Stein DIsposes Of 81 Cases,
Mostly Drunks.

There were 81 cases In the early
session OF police court before Justice
Stein, Monday morning, rather an
over-burdened docket. Most OF them
were drunks Of the common variety.
John Hurdy chased his wife with a
butcher knife. He was fined $40 or 80
days.
Frank Jacques, No. t96 Superior-st.

while there was company In the house
His defense was that the company

to his sister, after the court had i'm
posed that fine upon him.
Arthur M. Ward was fined $40 fol
starting n fight on a Michigan-ave
car at Michigan-ave. and Griswold-st
He stole punch from Herman Kraus

Some sympathizer gave him a dollar
with which to purchase a new crutch
He spent the money in strong drink
The court suspended sentence.
The Detroit times., 1910-08-08

The present plan is to force a quick
adjournment of the session without
doing anything.
Gov. Shafroth is determined to enact
into law all the pledges made by his
party when he was nominated. The
call for the session demanded head
lass ballot" eliminating party names
from all tickets; initiative and refer
erdum; guarantee OF bank deposits
direct primaries; law authorizing
the railroad commission to fix rates
and the creation Of commission to
supervise and control the operation oil
ali public service corporations.
United States Senator Hughes
pemocrat, who was elected on the
same platform as Shafroth. has de
nounced the governors plans as rad
zeal and socialistic," and Hughes has

SHELTER At FOOT OF JOS.
CAMPAU LIKELY TO BE BUILT
Bid Is In Excess Of Appropriation But
Residents May Make Up
Deficit.

Prospects, are favorable for the
building of the proposed shelter at the
foot of Jos Campau-ave., advocated by
Aid. Theisen. Bids were asked some
time ago for the construction OF the
building and the time for the opening
of them arrived Monday morning.
Only one was received, but this Is
looked on with favor In spite OF the
fact that the tender is greater than
the appropriation, $4,000.
The bid was submitted by George
r. Cooke, contractor, who says he will
DO the work for $6,99S. The differ
ence, 1t Ia thought, will be subscribed
by r. II. Walker and others living In
the neighborhood. The work Of con.
structing a cheaper shelter was stop.
ped voluntarily by the city in 1909,
when Mr.. Walker and others com.
planned that the peek roof would shut
OF the view OF the river from their
homes on Jefferson-ave. At that time
however, an Official In the public
works department said, Monday
morning, Mr.. Walker and the others
who made the complaint declared
they would make up any reasonable
amount over the appropriation given
by the city necessary to provide a bet
ter structure with a fat roof
The Walkers, who own the Joseph
Campau dock, where the Walkerville
ferry lands, plan to build a new walt
ing room and Offices and they want
the shelter TO harmonic with their
new building. II is expected that
work will start on both structures Il
an early date.
