ing an active member of the Board Of
Commerce, and took advantage OF
every opportunity to advance the
cause Of good citizenship. In church
work he was also conspicuous, being
in charge OF q Sunday school mission
and a deacon In the First Congrega-
tional church for a number Of years.
He was strongly orthodox in his re-
ligion, always sticking closely TO the
conventional forms of worship. With
the clergy Of his church he was ever
In close touch. 1t was the custom OF
the Rev. Gaius G. Atkins, pastor OF
the First Congregational up to q
short time ago, to visit Mr.. Williams
home every Sunday evening after the
church services, Mr.. Williams delight
ing to discuss matters pertaining to
the church.
Mr.. Williams was born on the ISL
and Of Anglesea. Wales, on May g..
1841, and he was proud Of his Welsh
ancestry. He came Of sturdy stock
and the admirable characteristics OF
his ancestors marked his everyday
life. He was the soul Of honesty, and
was well equipped mentally for his
chosen profession, being close stu
dent of human nature and possessed
OF the ability to Judge well between
good and bad investments. In this
connection he Is credited with keep
ing his bank clear Of more than one
indiscreet transaction. A self-made
man, he grew up with the banking
business and was thus enabled to
study all the branches connected
with II. He apprenticed himself To a
banker in Liverpool when a boy, and
still stuck to the business when he
came to Detroit In 1866.
On arriving here he joined the stan
of the American National bank as as
sistant cashier, remaining with the
institution for II years. In 1881 ne
helped to organize the Commercial
National bank and was made cashier
and then succeeded to the presidency.
This position he held until the Com
mercial National was conapndated
with the First National few years
ago, when he was elected to the pres
idency of the combined institutions.
He stuck to his post until short
time ago and was the Oldest banker
In the city In point Of service.
Mr.. Williams was also Interested In
other concerns, being director OF
the Security Trust Co., and the Mich
igan Savings bank, and secretary and
treasurer of the Detroit Twist Drill
Co.
In fraternal and social circles he
was also prominent, being a member
of the Masons and of the Country
club.
The home life Of Mr.. Williams was
of the ideal sort, he and Mrs. Will
liams being inseparable companions.
No children were born to them. The
widow, Mrs. Kate Chambers Will
liams; a sister, Mrs. Rees, living in
Anglesea, Wales; and three brothers:
J. p. williams, of the American Ex-
change National bank; r. p. Will
lioms, of the Arm Of Farrand, VIII
liams & Clark, and w. p. Williams,
of London, Eng, survive.
Funeral services will be held In the
family home at 2 o'clock Tuesday af.
ternoon, the burial to be In Wood
lawn cemetery. Efforts are being
made by the family to have the
Rev. Gaius @. Atkins come from
Providence, r. l., to conduct the SER
vices.

TRIP PROVES PROFITABLE.
Trade With U. p. Gets Stimulus From
Wholesalers Visit.

That Detroit trade In the northern
peninsula was given a decided i'm
petus by the trip of the Wholesalers
and Manufacturers association of De-
troit, on the Octorara, early in the
summer, has been clearly shown, and
fresh evidences are coming to the at
tention OF local shippers every day
in the form of substantial orders from
the copper country. As a result of
the trip, several Detroit manufac-
turers and jobbers have reorganized
their upper peninsula sales forces.

stances. arranging for resident man
ager In the north country.
Perhaps no firm has gone as far,
In this direction, as Edison, Moore &
Co., Wholesale dry goods merchants,
on Jefferson-ave. Immediately after
the trip they established in Calumet
a selling department with resident
manager, Office force and complete
lines of samples, and the results ac-
complished thus far have proven that
the move was a wise one. The com
nany has since established another
branch In Ishpeming, where there ia
another resident manager. From this
point Marquette, Negaunee and vari.
GUS other towns and cities are GOV.
cred. The business is showing a
steady increase.
The company Is planning to still
further extend the branch system TO
include a portion OF Wisconsin, with
an operating base somewhere on the
west shore of Lake Michigan, back OF
Mepominee and Escanaba.

President Of Council.

Aid. william Gutman. Of the Third
ward, Maurice Heating. Of the Fourth.
and George II. Ellis Of the Fifteenth,
are candidates for the position OF
president Of the common council, the

Ellis and Gutman will probably pull

ground that the east side should have

nan OF the Eighteenth ward this year.
Ellis Is president pro tenn at present.
Heating IL making the argument that
the east side had the major part OF
the committee appointments this year
the entire committee on streets, for
instance, being from the east side.
All three aldermen have had several
years experience in the council and
have been chairmen OF important
committees. Each has expressed the
