f2-foot hole in her starboard side, and
her after compartment full of water
No one was injured. but half the

the starboard side abreast OF the
main rigging.
The deck crew OF the Santurce were
panic-sticken and leaped over the bow
of the Ligonier before the two vessels
drew apart. Ten minutes after the
collision both vessels were out OF

ACTRESSES SELL PAPERS
IN AID OF THE ACTORS FUND
Pretty Girls From the Golden Crook
Company, Act as News Merchants
at Majestic Corner

The prettiest lot OF newspaper ven

busted themselves about the Majestic

Wednesday. And they will be back

request made by Miss Ida Crispi 10

goes 10 the Actors Fund, the only
charity the actors have"
And many and many a man and
woman dipped down into their pockets
or purses and came up with a nickel
or dime or quarter TO help the good
cause along. Newspapers went rapidly
and the supply was replenished from
a carriage drawn up al the curb.
While Miss Crispi had the busiest
position, that right at the corner she
was not unaided. Miss frankie Far

ALLEGED GREEN GOODS MAN
IS RUN DOWN BY LARM0UR
Francis A. Morris, Believed to Have
Several Aliases, is Under Arrest.

In an attempt TO break up revival
Of the old green goods" game, Postal
Inspector Larmour and Detectives
Reid and Good have arrested man
who was registered at the Burns hotel
as Francis A. Morris. There is more
than a suspicion as to this name, since
the stranger is alleged to have re-
ceived mail as A. y. Cline, aud his
shirts bear an entirely different set OF
initials.
Because OF the persistence of the
authorities. the green goods game
has lapsed for some years. For one
thing. the old game became so well
known that IT was hard to ind suck
ers" any longer. But lately the New
York gangs that used TO work the
trick have become active again. one
of the postal officials came across
some letters which had been written
In New Orleans and mailed from Chi
cago TO wealthy farmers.
The intended victim was Informed
that he could purchase limited
amount OF counterfeit money so we'll
made as to be indistinguishable from
| the genuine. He must be absolutely
secret about his purchase. however
Replies were to go to a small town up
state by telegram. At this telegraph
Office. IL was learned that instructions
had been left TO mail any messages
received to A. y. Cline, Detroit II
was when Morris, or whatever his
name is, called for the Cline letters
| that he was taken.
He says he is from Pennsylvania
and sells mining stock for a living
He registered at police headquarters
as speculator. His age was given
as So.
So far as known, there was no
chance for the green goods operators
TO secure any victims. The game was
discovered too quickly. Had any suck
ers been shared. they would have been
sent on to New York. there to be sep
arated from their funds at leisure.

BIC MACHINE co.
ORGANIZED HERE
Grant & Wood Manufacturing Co.,
Backed by Detroit Interests, Buys
Glazier Stove Works in Chelsea.
CHARLES REwA.

The filing OF articles OF association
in the county clerks office Wednes-
day morning by the Grant & Wood
Manufacturing Co. marks the culmina-
ton of a big business deal that means
much for Detroit and Chelsea, Mich.
The capital of 100000, fully paid in.
has been contributed in great part by
Detroit men, and Chelsea's interest in
the new corporation lies in the fact
that the company has purchased the
Glazier stove works there and Is now
installing machinery in the mammoth
plant preparatory TO starting opera
tons.
The company will manufacture auto
matte screw machines invented by
John j. Grant, formerly of Cleveland,
and automatic screw machine products
of all kinds. The fact that these
products are used extensively in the
automobile industry probably was a
factor in the decision to establish a
factory close to Detroit. That Chel-
sea will be materially benefited by the
new industry is assured. The com
pany will have practically no competi-
versal demand.
In a meeting held Wednesday morn.
ing the organization of the company
was perfected and officers elected.
Eben b. Boye. formerly sales man
ager Of the Warner & Swasey Co, or
Cleveland, is president. and he will
also act as general sales manager. a
position for which he is well fitted by
reason OF his wide acquaintance
among machinery interests. Arthur
o. Smith, president of the a. o. Smith
Co. Milwaukee, is president, and
Harry l.. Stanton. secretary and
treasurer The directors are: DR.. j,
b. Book. well-known Detroit capital
ist. John r. Shaw. president Of the
First National bank: William L. Bar.
bour. president of the Detroit Stove
Works. Walter r. Flanders, presi-
dent of the EMF. Co. +. b. Boye,
Arthur O. Smith and Robert NJ.
Brownson. attorney.
The company takes over the Grant
Automatic Machine Co, of Cleveland,
and the machinery and equipment of
this concern will be transferred TO
Chelsea. Additional land has been
purchaser duJOluluS the SlONe WOIkS,
on which the erection OF several new
buildings will be commenced at once.
John j. Grant. who has large in
.terest in the concern, will make his
home In Detroit. having recently pur-
chased a lot on Boston-blvd as a home
site, as previously announced I'm The
Times. Mr. Grant has been called The
father OF the ball industry in America,
Every machine used in the manufac.
ture OF balls was invented by him.
Even the German and French balls
imported 10 this country are made by
machines patented and sold to the Gu
ropeans by Grant. Ia the mechanic al
world he is still better known as an
inventor of automatic machinery for
manufacturing all manner OF metal
products, Of which his automatic
screw machine is probably the most
valuable. His machines are 70 be found
i'm factories Of all kinds in all parts
of the world.
Erwin T. Wood, who Is also identt-
fed with the business. is almost as
widely known as Mr. Grant, and he
has been connected with some OF the
largest tool manufacturing concerns
i'm the country.

GETS REAL BUSY
DRIVING SNAKES
BERT MANAoAN GETS HILARI-
oUsLY DRUNK AND PRocaEps
TO SMASH THINGS uP-ToRE
TROUSERS FROM LEGS OF BUR-
LY POLICEMAN.

An enthusiastic celebrant of st. Pat
rick's day was Bert Managan. First
he proceeded to get drunk. He was
proportionately hilarious and first
broke a plate glass window in the front
Of the S. p. Diemert place. His next
frivolity was to take a smash at the
face of one Joe Welsh, causing the
blood to flow and to wind up the course
of his fun he tore the trousers from
the stalwart underpinning of Officer
Bergstrom. That limb of the law
landed his prisoner who was soon
subdned.
Justice Malloy told the prisoner that
for one he did not approve of his par
ticular way of honoring Ireland's pa
iron saint and there were few things
he would have to do to make amends.
He was fined for being drunk, was
ordered to pay for. the property he had
destroyed and a fine for slapping the
face of fellow Irishman, or serve
sixty-five days in the county Jail. The
money will be paid this evening. AS
Managan was being led out to cell
he was glad that his punishment was
no worse and also that IT was a good
Irishman who handed him the dose
which he deserved.
