GRISwOLD-sT. MAN STUNG.
Fake Hard Luck Story Separates Him
From So.

There is one well-known Griswold-
ct. man who considers himself well
done" and has again lost his faith In
A welldressed, smooth
spoken young man came into his Office
the other day and told touching
story. He represented himself as a
bank clerk from Winnipeg, who was
on his way to Toronto and could not
resist the temptation to stop OF and
see the Tigers rlzy ball. He lost his
pocketbook on trip TO Bots Blanc,
with every cent he had and he wanted
the Griswold-st. man to wire his father
In Winnipeg for funds.
The story looked so plausible that
he .eli for Il easily and went on to
question the young man a bit furthe
what are you going to eat until
the money gets here?" he asked.
The Winnipegger said he supposed
lac would have to hustle for something
and added that he already felt rather
hungry, whereupon the Detroit philan.
thropist "loosened up" and gave him
n dollar. After little more CONVEX.
sation he handed out another dollar,
for the baseball game. that the nan
from the north should not miss the
purpose of his trip.
The Detroiter is still waiting for an
answer to | is telegram and the young
man does not seem sufficiently inter.
ested in receiving the much-necded
money to call to see II IL Is there.

ATTORNEY-GENER KUHN
CONSTITUTES PRIMARY LAW
Says Election Boards Must Furnish
Ballots and Each Party Must
Elect Candidates.

LANSING, Mich, Aug. 1o.-(Spe-
ciaD--In an opinion rendered today
Attorney Kuhn points out
that it is the duty OF every political
party in each congressional. senator
ial and representative districts to
elect candidates under the primary
law, where one party has already
adopted this system of nomination.
Under the ruling OF the attorney
general the boards OF election COM
missioners must furnish ballots even
though no candidates Ale nominating
petitions, and In case nominating petit
lions are filed for some and not for
others, the ballots must be prepared
that the electors may cast their bal
lots for candidates In those instances
In which nominating petitions were
not fled.
Chippewa county Democrats are
not enrolled, so the candidates OF that
party can secure the required num-
Der OF signatures to have the names
Of the candidates placed on the bal
lots and the commissioners are pro-
hibited from printing their names on
them.

YPSILANTI, Mich, Aug. 10.-The
Ypsilanti postoffice was entered by
burglars at 1920 this morning, ten
minutes after the night watch had
made his rounds and just after a po-
liceman had left the Office. Mrs. Vic
tor Leblanc. living opposite the office
on Pearl-st., was awakened by her
dog, looked out and saw two men go
ing into the back door and third
standing a block away on guard.
She telephoned Postmaster Lister,
who called the police. Patrolman
Pierce started at once for the postof-
fee. The telephone girl rang the po-
lice gong, SO Night Watch Morey
started north and east two blocks to
the Office Mr.. Leblanc stood in his
doorway with a revolver as the third
man ran down Pearl-st. into the Of
fee, but did not fire. The men ran
out OF the front door and were gone

INSANITY ON DECREASE.
Report From Four AsyIums Show
Falling OF In Number of Cases.

Failing or In Number Of Cases.
LANSING, Mich, Aug. 10.-That in
sanity is on the decrease is shown by
reports submitted to state officials by
the four asylums In Michigan. In the
past fiscal year there was net de-
crease OF 20 patients In the Northern
Michigan asylum. The net increase
In the past four years has been be-
tween 81 and %, as against an aver
age of az for the last % 1-2 years.
There was larger increase In the
past year In the Michigan asylum for
the Insane In Kalamazoo, but a notice
able decrease over the preceding year
The net increase in patients at Pom
tiac was less than for the two previ-
Gus years.
IL is said that the decrease In In
sanity is primarily due to the excel
lent care OF these unfortunates that
the state Is exercising. The housing,
feeding, nursing and medical. care4of
this class have improved greatly, too.
