RAILROAD BILL PASSES
 sEAA7E;Y0TE sj0 T012
A DOZEN DEMOCRATS OPPOSED
 TO PIE MEASURE.
Minority Is About Evenly Divided Joint Committee Will Immedi-
 ateiy Fake Up Bill.

Washington, June 4.-Ending Q struggle which has lasted since March l5, the senate passed the railroad bill by vote of 50 to 12, every Republi- can present voting aye, and 12 Demo crats recording themselves in opposi- tion to the measure.
 A continuous session from noon un- til after 10 o'clock was necessary in order to complete the senate's work upon the measure.
 Democratic opinion was divided about evenly. The 12 men who thought 1t better to have no legisla- tion than this measure were: Bacon Of Georgia, Fletcher of Florida, Fra zier of Tennessee, Hughes of Cobra do, Money of Mississippi, Kewlands of Nevada, Percy of Mississippi, Purcell of North Dakota, Raynor and Smith of Maryland, Shiveley of Indiana and Smith of South Carolina
 Apparently the clouds which have overhung this session of congress and which threatened to keep the legislar tors in storm and turmoil until Aug ust, now are clearing away Adjourn ment before July 1 may be possible. Before the senate ended it's nights work the entire senate measure had been substituted for the house rail road bill, under the latter's enacting clause. Accordingly, the house will at once ask for conference, and a joint commmittee will proceed to ad- just the differences between the two houses. Early next week the house will pass the postal savings bill, and conference upon this measure will also begin.

New York, June Mrs. Gussie Ad. Ter, recent bride of Brooklyn, caused the arraignment of her husband, Charles, in court, on charge of in- tending to desert her for two months and go to California to see the Jeff. ries-Johnson fight.

 He may see some one in California he likes better than me-" she said.
 "Oh, judge, wish you could put him in prison, until after that old fight is ovef.'
 The court magistrate explained that so long as the husband fulfilled his obligations to the wife he was free to go where he pleased.
 The disappointed wife was led sob. ping from the court room.

Mason City, Ia., June 4.-Rare in- deed are the men who have seen three centuries. Dennis Mcard, who died at his home in Emmetsburg, was one of these. He wae born in Ireland in March, l79s, and died at the age of 112 yearA
 He was a Democrat, and yet in the days of Lincoln he worked for him and always admired him. Forty years of his life he spent on the seas and had visited every important port in the world. He was temperate man and had a remarkable nerve, and, within a short time before his death, he shaved himself.

the presence of President Taft, Sen ator William Alden Smith, Governor Warner and other distinguished men, and Mrs. Elizabeth Custer, widow of the hero, came from New York to un- veil the statue.
 The ceremony attracted to Monroe Q throng that taxed the acccommoda- tions of the town. It included many veterans of the Civil war, especially the survivors of the Third Calvary di- vision, which Custer commanded in that conflict. There were also de- tachments of the Michigan National guard, and hundreds of civilians from ell parts of the state.
 Cersmony Is Impressive.
 Otto Kirchner, vice chairman of the local committee, presided over the ex- ercises, which were opened with an invocation by Rt. Rev. John S. Foley, bishop of Detroit. The report of the monument commission was read by Col. George G. Briggs, chairman, and then the sculptor, Edward c. Potter O1 OCuWlCA1, AOlll1s, AauC O11OA lC- marks on his work.
 Mrs. Custer now stepped forward and, pulling the cord of the flag which draped the statue, unveiled the figure of her husband. As Old Glory slipped down from the figures of man and horse, band struck up the strains of The Star Spangled Banner and the First battery Field artillery, M. N G., fired a 17-gun salute. The great crowd cheered and cheered again, and the tears trickled down the face of the aged widow of the man who had devoted his young manhood to saving his country, and had died fighting it's savage enemies on the Little Big Horn.
 Taft and Smith Speak.
 When the tumult had subsided, Presadent William H. Taft was intro duced and was given an ovation. He spoke briefly, but feelingly, of the man who was being honored, and of his inesttmable services to the country and devotten to duty.
 Tho oration of the day, delivered by Senator William Alden Smith, was next on the program. This was fol loved by remarks by Maj. Gen. D. McM. GregE, commander of the Sec ond division, Cavalry corps, Army of the Potomac, and Brig. Gen. Edward ".

ALBION FRIENDS OF MRS. BELLE
HOBBS BELIEVE SHE WAS
VICTIM OF ERROR.
PETITION TO DEPARTMENT
is NOW BEING PREPARED
Patrons Of the Office Ask That Gov
eminent Send Another Inspector to
Inquire Into the Office and Post
masters Methods Of Stamp Cancel
lations-Petition Freely Signed.

That the Albion postoffice be re-
checked by a government inspector, TO
determine whether or not the first in
spector who recommended that Mrs.
Belle Hobbs. postmaster, be removed
because of irregularities in making can
now being circulated and freely signed
at Albion, by patrons of the office.
Mrs. Hobbs many friends at Albion
believe that the postmaster has been
the victim of a mistake in determining
the amount of the alleged shortage that
the postoffice inspectors claimed was
due on stamp cancellations. The pat
rons of the office feel that, if q real dis
crepancy does exist. the postmaster
was unaware that her method of can
ceiling was wrong, and that. If it We're
wrong, the postmaster should have
been notified years ago, as size has
been employing the same method dur
ing. her twelve years incumbency.
As Mrs. Hobbs stated at the time
the recommendation for her removal
was made public, other inspectors had
visited the office, and were familiar
with her, methods of cancelling stamps.
Why her attention should not have
been called to the matter before was
more than she could understand, and
this is the way the patrons and Mrs.
Hobbs friends feel.
When the inspector Who recon-
1nended Mrs. Hobbs removal showed
the postmaster that, according to his
understanding of the requirements, her
stamp cancellations should be arrived
at in some other way, Mrs. Hobbs paid
over to the government the sum of $3.50
which, it was decided, represented the
percentage of cancellations unaccount-
ed for, extending over a period of years
1t is expected that the petition will
be forwarded to Washington late this
week.
