GENERAL MCCURRlN KNOCKS
The MAJOR GENERAL PLAN
Has No Desire for Higher Rank
at Expense Of Service He
Helped Build.
IS FOOLISH DREAM He SAYS


The dreams of the members OF Tho
National guard have been rudely shat
tered. They hit the pipe OF some
thing or other and brought forth a
scheme for adding another regiment
20 tho National Guard in Michigan
and raising Adj. Gen McGurrin 20 the
rank OF major general over the whole
show, But Cen. McGurrin has no de-
sire. % be a major general at the ex-
pense Of the service, and therefore
knocks the plan plumb in the head
with the first shot.
u wouldn't stand for such a scheme
for a minute" he said.
Imagine what IL would mean. our
National Guard would be like the Milk
White Flag with q big bunch Of gem
erals and a microscope TO find the pri-
waite. officers would be thicker than
colonels I'm Kentucky and the privates
would be minus.
Gust let any man use his reason p
minute and sec what IL means, An
other regiment would mean that many
more company battalions and regi-
mental officers ana regimcntal staffs.
Divide the four regiments i'm two brig
AIDES, as the plan is. and you would
have another brigade staff as large as
the present one. Then add to that the
STAFF Of the major general and the
governors STAFF ana look NJ the
bunch Of officers you would have. I
don't know whore you would get the
prlvates.
"Now we have Approximately 5000
men I'M the infantry of Michigan. We
should not consider the formation of
another brigade until we have at LEASE
twice that number Of men. And We
have no more than enough money to
support our present organization. /
What win we do with another regi-
mcnt, another brigade and major I
generals staff? The higher the rank
of the officers the more pay they geJ.
The pay of the brigade staff is high
nd this scheme would double that and
then add on the heavy pay for officers
pf even higher rank I'm the major gem
sraI and his staff. It IS too foolish 10
hink about.
let us use our money for the train
ug of the troops we already have ara
making them nt for service I'm lime ~

side shows such a major generals. Let

JAIL INSPECTORS REPORT.
Semi-Annual Visit Shows Bastie TO
Be Clean, But Cramped.
The Houghton county Jail lnsr

The Houghton county Jail inspect
ors held their regular semi-annual in
spection of the jail and prepared their
report for the board or supervisors
yesterday afternoon. The meeting fol-
lowing the inspection OF the Jail took
place i'm the Office of Probate Judge
Bentley ana the other members of the
commission present were as follows:
County Agent Mason and Poor Com
missioners Joseph stahl, T. NJ. Lyon
and r. NJ. Morrison.
The only recommendation that the
inspectors made was the charging OF
the jail, which has been under dis
cussion ever since Sheriff Byers re-
quested that the supervisors take some
action to relieve the present crowded
condition there. II is thought that the
recommendation of the inspecting
board will hasten this matter to an
issue.

WOULD-BE SUICIDE HACKS
HIS THROAT WITH A KNIFE
Charles Axeson, Employe in Lumber Camp near Wilton
Males Desperate Attempt to Kill Himself-Is at
Hospital; Condition Grave.

Giving no reason for his rash act,
but undoubtedly being temporarily
deranged, Charles Axelson, a "lum-
berjack" made desperate attempt
to end his earthly existence by
hacking his throat in terrible man
ner with pen-knife, while working
in logging camp near Wilton, last
evening.
Axelson inflicted gaping wounds
in his throat, from which the blood
gushed freely. Axelson was brought
to St. Anthony's hospital in this
city, where his wounds were dressed.
He is now lying in ward in the
hospital, and although it was stated
that he might live for some little
time. there is but small hope of his
recovery.
