PUBLIC SERVICE GETS
ASSESSMENT REMISSIONS

Remissions from assessments against
the Public Service Railway Company
a~ggregating $53,532 were made by the
County "a Board at it's meeting to-
day. They covered appeals from local
assessments made in Caldwell and
Irvington and wound up pending APP
peals for the fiscal year.
The most important matter was the
assessment or the trolley cars in
Irvington. Last a there were sixty
three airs assessed at 1851, TAO, but the
~connpany's statement showed only
forty -three cars. so that the ASSESS
rnent was reduced by $4s,19 The COM
pany sought a reduction of s54.416.
The Caldwell assessment covered the
local gas plant of the Public Service
Corporation, and County Engineer
James Owen was asked his opinion in
the matter. The Caldwell assessment
was placed at 500, 900, but after a talk
with the engineer it was decided to
make a cut of $5,337.
In Glen Ridges gas assessment last
years figure was $4,000, and the local
assessors wanted it put up to $50. 900,
while the company wanted a reduction
to S17,251. 1t was decided to allow this
assessment to remain as 1t was.

YOUNG WIFE PLANS TO ASK
PRESIDENT TO FREE SPOUSE.
Son Has Been Born to Greenberg
During Imprisonment.

If the petition signed by Mayor
:. ob Haussling, Sheriff W. m Har-
rigan and others fails to effect the re-
lease INC pardon of Max Greenberg,
who is now serving a term of one year
in the Federal prison at Atlanta for
stealing $1,25 from a letter while he
was c--.oloyed as a clerk in the post
office, his young wife will go to Wash
ington and personally plead with Presi-
dent Taft for his freedom. Since Green
berS was sentenced he has become the
father of a son whom he has never
seen, the boy being born after he was
taken to Atlanta, while his wife was
living with her sister. Mrs. Louis Her
man, of South Sixteenth street.
The petition for pardon is signed by
the Mayor and sheriff, the Rev. Charles
B. Condit, pastor of Trinity Reformed
Church; Rabbi Solomon Foster, of the
Congregation B'nai Jeshurun and
David L. Heller. The youth of the pris-
oner, the birth of his son the amount
involved in the theft, and the fact that
it was his first offense are all urged
as reasons for his release.
Greenberg b is the son of Samuel
Greenberg, saloon-keeper, of Bowery
and Christie streets, and was arrested
on Augustus. Judge Rellstab, in the
United States District Court. imposed
the minimum sentence on his pleaN of
guilty.

He TESTIFIED TO
THEIR INTEGRITY
Lawton 7. Hemans Was SpOkeS.
man For Republican
Legislators.

AS member of the constitutional
convention and speaking as a citizen
Of Michigan and not as a partisan
candidate, Lawton T. Hemans made
this statement with reference to Mich
igan recent state legislatures:
"As one not in accord with the
majority of the legislatures that have
met in the state of Michigan, but
speaking as one VINO loves the honor
of the state and with kindly remem.
brance of the associations of men who
have formed that majority for the
last decade, / bear them the testimony
of a high character, for their pat
riotism, their integrity and their hon
or. If there are defects in our sys-
tenn, let us recognize that they have
no foundation in want of patriotism
integrity or honor in the law making
branch of the great state of Michi-
gan"
Mr.. Hemans made this declaration
after he had served as member Of
the legislature through two terms. He
has performed no official service since
this declaration was made, and the
only incident that has occurred that
could in any way have changed his
opinion or his point of view was mis-
nomination as the Democratic candi
date for governor
Mr.. Hemans is asking the Repub-
leans of Michigan to lay aside their
party sympathies and their party 10y
atty in his behalf, but it is here evi
dent that he is illustrating a degree
of partisanship and desertion of his
true judgment and honest opinions
unequalled in Michigan political his
tory.
If Mr.. Hemans' declaration as q
member of the Michigan constitution
al convention was at all sincere OIL
worthy of any consideration his state
ments at the present time are evident
ly compiled by party eXigency and

Two Candidates For Governor
Have Served the State.
Accomplishments COMPARED
What Chase S. Osborn Brought About
as State Railroad Commissioner,
and What Mr.. hemans Did Not
Do.

Chase 8. Osborn served the people
OF Michigan through two terms as
state railroad commissioner. Lawton
T. Hemans was member of the state
legislature through two terms.
During his term or Office Mr.. Os'
born accomplished more in the direc-
ton of compelling reduction Of rail-
road taxation, bringing about grade
separations, requiring necessary
changes relating to dangerous over
head wires, improvements in inter
locking arrangements, and the install
lation Of safety appliances on the rail
roads of Michigan than had been Sc
cured in Michigan through all its past
history
During his two terms as a member
of the legislature Mr.. Hemans accom-
plished nothing to which he wishes
attention called at this time He was
absent from his post of duty greater
part of the time, voted for all APP
preparation bills when he was present,
introduced a bill to legalize bucket
shops. and sought to have bill passed
creating an additional state board.
This is the record to which Mr. He
mans is not referring in this cam
paign. Based upon their comparative
accomplishments during the days
when opportunity was given them, it
ought not to be difficult for the people
of Michigan to decide between Law.
ton T. Hemans and Chase S. Osborn

more capable and more valuable to
the state and its people as the re-
sponsible leader of state affairs dur
ing the coming four years.

education in the public schools and
the University of Michigan. He worked
on farm until nineteen years Of
age, when he began teaching school.
In 1895 he was admitted to the bar
at Jackson. He acted as register Of
deeds of Jackson county for ten years.
Then the folks of the Second district
decided to send him to Washington as
their representative.
Townsend is one Of the authors of
the Roosevelt rate bill, and as an
authority on all matters pertaining to
railway legislation he ranks second to
none. He first leaped into prominence
in his first term of congress, when
his stand on rate legislation placed
him conspicuously before the eyes of
the nation, and ar that time his rep
utation was made.
He had served his district well and
faithfully for nearly six years when
the death of Russell A. Alger left a
vacancy in the senatorial ranks that
1t was up to Michigan to fill. Mr..
Townsend made a bid for the seat,
but was defeated by his colleague in
congress, William Alden Smith.
The people of his district then re.
turned him TO congress by an over
whelming majority over his Demo-
cratic opponent. But the reward of
true merit could not be denied him.
and, at the last primaries, he was
chosen by the Republicans of the
state as their candidate for United
States senator.
Charles e. Townsend is a progress.
i've and voted to depose Speaker Can
non from the rules committee Of the
house at the last session of congress.
He himself has said:
II am a firm believer in the pro.

These policies are in harmony with
the traditions and principles of the
Republican party and must be main.

LEGISLATURE

Legislature.
In the Democratic legislature Of 81
and '92 A. B. Brown of Montcalm
county was a member of the senate.
Senator Brown was not elected as a
Republican and had expected to af-
filiate with the Democratic members
of the senate. But this is what Sen
ator Brown said in explanation of
why that expectation was not realized
"They could not buy me nor drive
me-" The Democratic leaders did not
like that kind of a man.
There is mighty little danger that
that crowd will go back there. What
ever may have been my opinion of the
party before, their doings in the last
legislature was sufficient to disgust
every man who Is not determined to
follow his party to any extreme.
"You can fool all the people part of
the time; you can fool part of the
people all OF the time, but you can
never fool enough people in this state
again to put the Democratic party
into power"

NOT HIS FAULT.
Democratic Candidate For Governor
Tried For Appointment Under
Warner. but Failed to Land IT,

Warner. but Failed to Land II.
Mr.. Lawton T. Hemans, the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, is
greatly concerned over the fact that
Mr.. Osborn, his Republican competi-
tor, accepted an appointment at the
hands of Governor Warner. 1t has
not occurred to him to call attention
to the fact that he also accepted an
appointment from Governor Warner.
In 1905 he was appointed member
of the commission to select and erect
a monument in Detroit to the men,
DRY of Steven T. Mason, Michigan's
first governor. He accepted the APP
pointment and served on the commits
sion, and some persons as critical as
Mr.. Hemans himself in such direc-
tons are calling attention to the fact
that his expense account was four
times greater than one member of the
commission and more than twice as
large as that Of any other member.
It will also be recalled by Mr.. He
mans party friends that in 1907 be
was an applicant for another appoint.
ment at Governor Warmers hands, the
office sought In the latter instance
being that of member Of the state
railroad commission. IL is certainly
not Mr.. Hemans' fault that he is not
at this time enjoying the privileges
of a state administration job.
