George +. Young, defendant In a

Young has been lodging service for
several weeks, so q scheme was plan

TO

Differences Between Striking Must
clans and Theater Managers
Practically All Adjusted.

The past couple of weeks has been
rich In experience to the local theater
managers and the striking musicians,
ance Of an immediate amicable settle
ment OF their differences.
The first chilly fall days brought
home to the musicians the inevitable
winters coal bill, while the visits of
big musical shows brought sleepless
nights and gray hairs to the managers.
The substitute orchestras which have
struggled discordantly to make the
ater-goers forget the absent ones have
not been satisfactory to manager. stars
or the public.
National President Weber, OF the
Federation of Musicians, has been In
Detroit the past few days using his
good Offices to bring about a settle
ment between the striking union play
ers and the managers, and II Is said
he has succeeded. Owing to the pecu-
liarly friendly condition that exists In
Detroit between the theater musicians
and their respective employers many
points were conceded by the striking
men and Mr.. Weber that could not
have been made under ordinary cir
cumstances. II Is expected that the
old friendly relations will be resumed
and past differences forgotten on both
sides so that theatergoers may once
again listen to decent intricate selec-
tons and a properly played score.
"Yes, | think, everything will be
fixed up all right" said B. C. Whitney,
of the Detroit opera house. weber
seems a good. square fellow and will
ing to consider the situation from the
right local viewpoint and think the
boys will be willing to do as he says.
We hold no ill-feeling against them and
I'm sure they don't against us. 1t was
simply business proposition on both
sides and from the first the managers
were willing to meet the boys more
than half way"

NO BAR FOR ADDISON.
Temp orary Injunction Granted by
Judge Hosmer Made Permanent.

Judge Hosmer has made permanent
the temporary injunction he granted
restraining William F. Malow from
establishing bar In the Addison ho-
tel. Woodward and Charlotte-aves.
This decision was rendered after
listening to arguments presented by
Prosecutor Van Zile, who represented
the First Presbyterian church, and T.
Berger. who appeared for Malow.
Berger argued that the provision in
the Warner-C ramton law, preventing
the establishing OF b bar or saloon 400
feet from church did not apply In
this case. as the proposed bar was on
another street, and the statute read
that the bar must be 400 feet on the
street line from a church entrance.
Judge Hosmer held that under Mr..
Berger's Interpretation saloon could
be started next door to the First Pres
byterian church on Edmond-pl.. be-
cause the church entrance was on
Woodward-ave.
Ii Is understood the matter will be
carried to the supreme court at once.

IN CONFERENCE
Plans For the State Campaign Being
Worked Out in Big Pow Wow
in the Pontchartrain.

Close to 100 Republican leaders from
all sections of the state responded to
the call sent out by Chairman w. r.
Knox, Of the state central committee,
for conference In Detroit, Tuesday
afternoon on campaign plans. Parlors
and L., OF the Pontchartrain, were
reserved for the purpose and most of
those from whom acceptances had
been received were on hand when the
conference was called to order shortly
after l o'clock. 1t was strictly execu-
tive.
Senator William Alden Smith arriv.
ed Monday evening from Grand Rapids
for the express purpose of attending
the meeting. Chase s. Osborn is here
and Congressman Townsend Is ex-
pected during the afternoon IL he can
arrange to have someone fill a speak
ing engagement for him in iceland
Mich, Tuesday evening.
Secretary Paul King stated, Tues
day morning, that one OF the principal
matters to be discussed at the confer
ence will be the question Of an auto
mobile campaign through the state
during the last days Of the campaign
In all probability this viii be agreed
upon. The congressional and state
candidates will work in harmony with
the county candidates In the respec
tive counties as far as possible.
While all the principal candidates
for state Offices are hard at work. per
sistently plugging for votes, the cam
paign will not get down to a system
attic basis In the state before next
Monday. The state central commit
tee, In the meantime, will have per
fected the plans to be decided on In
Tuesdays conference, which, II Is be-
lieved. will be substantially as out
lined Monday.
The men in attendance include
chairman of county and congressional
committees, members Of the state cen
tral committee. congressman and other
candidates who are vitality interested
in the campaign plans. The upper
peninsula delegates were late In ar
irving, but practically every other sec
ton of the state was well represent
ed in the council Of war. That Is what
the conference amounts to, for the
leaders will take this opportunity to
get their heads together and decide
Just what tactics to follow In the clash
with the Democrats. What arguments
are to be used to convince the electors
that the Republicans should be re-
tanned in power; Just how far to go
with reference to the tariff; where to
put on the soft pedal and where to
strike the cymbaIs-these are some OF
the momentous questions under con-
sideration, SO the conference Is one OF
great importance to the party.
The leaders realize that the tenor
of public opinion Is such that the
greatest caution must be exercised In
the campaign speeches this year. The
party's missteps both In national and
state affairs. have furnished the Demo
Gratis with some frst-class campaign
material, and to bring the Republi-
cans who are on the fence back into
the fold is a question of serious mo-
ment.
The conference Is expected to con-
tinue until late Tuesday night.

the morgue at Rainy River and thirty
others were sent south today to Du-

Five hundred miles of nearly vir-

The entire burned district Is prac-
