MansIaughter in Connection with
Death of Ann Arbor Girl.

Detroit, notwithstanding Attor-
ney Van Zile, in a brief but thorough
opening address, formally began the
trial of DR.. George A. Fritch, charged
with manslaughter in connection with
the death of Maybelle Millman Of Ann
Arbor in Judge Phelan's court. The
defense presented no preliminary ar
guments. The state then began the
examination of its witnesses.
Martha Henning of Ann Arbor, in
innate associate of Maybelle Mill
man, was the first one called to the
stand.
When Miss Henning related the
circumstances Of Maybelle Millman's
visit to Detroit, and her subsequent
visit to DR.. Fritch's Office, Attorney
Lodge, for the defense, protested Wig.
orously. To each question put by the
state he raised an objection, and
when the court ruled that the testi-
mony was admissible, Lodge request
ed the stenographer to note an OBJ
lection and exception to each of the
queries on the records.

GULD AND ROBNETT GUILTY
NAVAL OFFICERS SENTENCED TO
LOSE FIVE NUMBERS EACH
Penalties Are Mltlgated by Assistant
Secretary Winthrop-Both Men
Restored to Duty.

Washington. - Paymaster George
Percival Auld and Passed Assistant
Surgeon Ansey H. Robnett, U. S. N,
were found guilty by the naval court
at Boston of conduct unbecoming Of
ficers and gentlemen and sentenced
to lose five numbers in rank each.
While Assistant Secretary Winthrop
agreed with the court that the con-
duct of the officers was undignif1ed,
he exonerated Aud on the ground
that the motives which actuated him
were commendable and the assault oc-
Cured after considerable provocation.
In the case of Surgeon Robnett, Mr..
Winthrop said his conduct deserved
some notice, but he modified the SEN
tence of the court so it read loss of
two numbers instead of five. Both
officers were ordered released from
arrest in quarters and restored to
duty.
The court held that as DR.. Cowles
was a guest in the navy yard the
officers there should have extended
him every courtesy and that the de-
partment regretted the action taken
by the officers.

DIES IN FIGHT FOR LIFE
Chicago Glove Manufacturer Found
Murdered In offce-ReVenge or
Robbery Believed Cause.

Chicago - After a desperate fight
for his life, Charles E. Wiltshire,
was murdered brutally in the office Of
tho Chicago Glove and Mitten Com
2any, at 45S North Halsted street.
When the body was discovered ly-
ing on the floor the head and face was
hacked and cut as if by dagger and
forty knife wounds were found on the
body.
The office was completely wrecked
in the struggle between Wiltshire and
his assailants.
The guard of a stiletto was found
near the body, having apparently been
wrenched off in the struggle.
The police have two theories as to
the motive for the crime. One of
them is that Wiltshire was killed for
revenge by two men whom he aided
the police in sending to the peniten-
tiary on the charge of robbing cloth
ing store.

SWITCHMEN VOTE TO QUIT
Strike Threat Not Taken Seriously by
Railroad Officials Because Of
Arbitration Clause.

Chicago.-By a nearly unanimous
vote, 3,098 switchmen employed by g
railroads centeriug in Chicago, mem
bers of the brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, decided in favor of strike,
providing a settlement cannot other
wise be effected by the committee and
grand officer"
This latter clause in the ballot, the
railroad officials declare, gives the
switchmen's committee authority to
accept arbitration, and as the rail-
roads have already agreed to arbi-
trate, the wage controversy, which
has been carried on since January %,
they declare that there is no possi-
bility Of strike.
Vice-President A. F. Whitney of
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, on the other hand, declares EN-.
phatically that this same clause,
which states clearly that a strike may
be called only provided a settlement
cannot be otherwise effected" pro-
hibits the use of arbitration.

pose of holding up nonpartisan cleo

OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
While There Is a Lull In Some
Branches Of Business Situation
Remains Encouraging.

New York.-Dispatches to Dun's Re
view Indicate that while there is some
IuIl in certain branches OF trade and
industry, the general situation re-
mains encouraging, with an excep'
tionally promising outlook for spring
business. The trade situation is more
satisfactory at Louisville than for
some time past, and many leading
lines show substantial improvement as
compared with last year.
There is a fair retail business at
Cincinnati, and numerous sorting or
ders have been received by dry goods
jobbing houses from travelling sales
men. Trade conditions at Cleveland
are quite favorable for the season, al,
though most retail lines are quiet.
Building operations continue brisk and
industrial plants have sufficient un'
filled orders ON their books to main
tain activity for some time to come.
Payments through the banks, as
measured by bank clearings, main
tained a steady volume, considerably
in excess of preceding years, total ex
changes this week at all leading cities
IN the United States amounting to
1921, ,418,O37, an increase of 25.1 per
cent over a year ago and of 25.7 per
cent as compared with the CORE
spending week in 1906. The gain is
well distributed throughout the coun'
try, but is still especially marked at
the west and northwest. Small losses
in comparison with last year at Gin
cinnati and at Pittsburg and New Or
leans, compared with 1906, reflect for
mer conditions in iron and steel, and
the abnormally active cotton market
at New Orleans in the former year,
At New York city the increase over
both years is large. The comparison
this week is complicated by the fact
that in 1906 the week contained only
ive business days, but examination
of the daily averages, which more
truly represent the actual gains
shows that there was very substan
tial increase.

Latest Advices from Wrecked Pacific
Navigation Steamer Lima Report
That Number Lost.

ValparaiSo.-Latest advices say that
at least 100 men and women have per
ished in the Pacific Navigation Co. S
steamer Lima, which was wrecked on
"a reef in the Huamblin passage. in the

Those who perished were left on the
doomed ship by the Hathumel, the YES

women.
The Chilean government has dis

Following quickly in the wake OF
the cruiser are five steamers which
the navigation company ordered to
roceed at top speed to Magellan.
The fate of those who were left be-
hind by the British steamer Hathumel,
which rescued 2O5 of the passengers
and crew, will not be known to a Ger.

POLICE QUELL
SOCIALIST RIOTS
PROTEST MEETINGS IN GERMANY
AGAINST SUFFRAGE BILL RE-
SUIT IN SERIOUS AFFRAYs.
MANY PEOPLE ARE WOUNDED
MarseiiIaise Is Sung by Disseminated
Host Until Dispersed at Point Of
sabre-Many Collisions with Police
Are Reported.

Beriin-Demonstrations by the So
cialists throughout the Fatherland,
after mass meetings held to protest
against the suffrage bill, resulted in
serious ARRAYS between the demon
strators and the police at many places
In Berlin several policemen were
severely wounded by stones thrown
by rioters, and scores of Socialist sup
corters received serious injuries from
the sabres of the police.
Reports from places outside Of Ber
lin give number of casualties. The
worst affair of the kind occurred al
NeumunsteT, in Holstein, where a
worhngman was mortally wounded by
a knife through the lungs, another's
hand was cut off, while a third lost
an ear.
At Halle, after the close of the meet
ings, about 1000 Socialists attacked
the police, who drew their sabres and
wounded many.
At Koenigsburg, wher the Socialists
returned in a body from the suburban
meeting, the police, in attempting tc
divert the crowd into the side streets
used their side arms.
At Duisberg, on the Rhine, the So
cialists in a series of street demonstra
tions after the meetings, came into col
lision with the police. The latter useC
their sabres and several of the mani
festants were cut and bruised.
At Cologne huge crowds assembled
in Cathedral square intending tC
march in order to the meeting place
in the suburbs, but strong cordons OF
police held the chief thoroughfares
and forced the crowds to take to the
side streets.
The meetings were so largely at
tended that the authorities closed the
halls after they we're filled in order tC
prevent overcrowding. The speakers
urged the Socialists not to offer resist
ance to the police. Sharply worded
resolutions of protest were adopted.
In the suburbs of Berlin about 4C
meetings were held in crowded halls
The majority of them were peaceably
conducted, but in Rixdorf, a southern
suburb, the population of which mum
bers close to $4,000, an immense
crowd gathered in the public square
and listened to speeches by several oi
the leaders.
After the meetings large process
sions parawed through the principa
suburban streets, singing the Mar
seillaise" Some of them tried tc
reach the central streets, but the po
lice held all approaches and dispersed
the crowd without serious difficulty.

Tho Fiqht AGAINST TubercuIosis

IuG TbSuI H9dHISI tuUCtSutOStos
Interest in the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 1853 new anti-tu-
berculosis associations were formed,
1873 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit-
ais were established, and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com
pared with previous years, this is the
best record thus far made In the fight
against consumption in this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more asso-
Citations for the prevention of tubercu-
losis were formed than during the pre-
vious II months, and 62 more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January /, 1910, there were in the Uni
ted States 1894 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations, 1856 hospitals and tuberculosis
sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis
dispenSaries.
