MAY MERGE WITH
COMMERCE BOARD
Real Estate Men at Monthly Dinner
Names Committee To Consider
Plan of Affiliation.

The Detroit Real Estate board held
its monthly meeting and dinner In
the Hotel Cadillac, Tuesday evening,
about 100 members attending. The
feature OF the evening was the ad-
dress on the Progress OF Detroit,
by c. Nj. Burton. The lecture was
showing old buildings, maps and In
teresting spots in Detroit.
In the business meeting which pre-
ceded the lecture, the talk OF amalga-
nation OF the Real Estate board with
the Board OF Commerce was revived
and upon the suggestion OF w. w.
Hannah, the executive committee
will consider plan OF affiliating with
the Board of Commerce. In Buffalo
and I'm many other cities the real es.
tate organization is "a branch or de-
partment of the larger body which
represents all the commercial inter
ests of the city.
Max Book suggested to the real
estate men that they should not
accept the figures OF the controller q
Office on paving assessments entirely
on faith. relating an experience he
had in regard to the paving of Arden
Park. subdivision in which he is
interested.
THE contract" said Mr. Brock
was let for little over $4,000, and
found when my tax notices came
around that had been assessed
about $4,000 for the paving. When
looked ii up | found that the sur
facing which was furnished by the
city was charged twice. IL was cor
rected, of course. but 1t would have
led to endless trouble for the real
estate men IL 1t had not been discov-
cred until the tax had been paid"
1t was suggested by w. w. Hannah
that the board should employ a Sec
Rotary or attorney to keep track of
many matters such as this that are
constantly coming up. The sugges-
ton was referred to the executive
committee.

Country Faces Famine in Young CaHAe

this demand will not be supplied
The west has been pouring lambs
into Chicago all through the late sum-
mer and early fall, until during the
last ten days the supply has dwin-
died. The feeders who have waited
until now to secure their feeding
lambs are sure to regret that policy.
The members of the Michigan con-
tingent are among those who have
been holding off, hoping to get them
cheaper. The problem with the Mich
igan farmer this fall Is sure to be
slow to get stock that will consume
grain, hay and corn-fodder at profit.
The present situation in the hog
department seems TO be case OF
plenty of corn but few hogs. The
axiom, cheap corn means cheap
pork" fails to prove when there are
no hogs in the country to eat the
corn. II is believed, however that
hogs will sell much cheaper as tax
paying time for the farmer APP
proaches, and farsighted feeders will
do we'll to keep finished stock market

SOLDIERS AID VICTIMS OF
CL0UDBURST IN ITALY
Number of Dead In Torrentiai Rain
and Eruption Of vesuvius
Placed at 400.


NAPLES, Oct. 26.-The death list
as the result of Sunday nights CON-
bined cloudburst, torrential rain, min
or eruption of Mount Vesuvius and
tidal wave in the Mediterranean In
creases as the reports Of the rescuers
come In. The minister OF marine to-
day sent a message to the king say
ing that the number Of dead is like
Iy to exceed four hundred. The loss
TO the farmers is incalculable, as all
growing crops are completely destroy
ed and livestock killed In the affected
region. aMny Of the injured suffered
for hours In the open under the fierce
rainfall, or were caught under the
debris of their wrecked homes. II
was not until the warships reached
the island of Ischia and landed sail
ors that the work OF the rescue there
was systematized. Doctors were sent
from Naples and other cities and the
entire work Of relief IL now under the
supervision OF the minister Of marine.
Besides the damage done on the
island, nearly every town In the
provinces OF Naples and Salerno was
more or less seriously damaged. The
sea of the coast OF Salerno Is covered
with wreckage consisting OF ruined
houses, broken furniture, timber trees
and the carcasses of animals.
Men, women and children trying to
escape from the slopes OF Mount
Vesuyius were overtaken and engulf-
ed by the torrents Of flowing mud and
ashes. The mud In the valleys is
more than twenty feet deep and II Is
feared there are many bodies burned

The bulk of the inhabitants are SC
unneryed by the disaster that they sit
helplessly above weeping and wailins
and refusing to do anything TO help
themselves. The only work that IL
being done is by the soldiers and sail

DENOUNCES BLACKMAILER AS
HE SENDS HIM TO PRISON
Court Condemns Benjamin Campbell,
Convicted Of Threatening Mrs.
Ward, To IS to 80 Years.

PONTIAC, Mich, Oct. 26.-From Is
to 80 years, with a recommendation
Of 25 years, was the sentence imposed
in circuit court Tuesday afternoon by
Judge Smith on Benjamin Campbell.
who was convicted by a jury on two
charges, that Of making threats
against Mrs. Henry G. Ward In con
nection with the attempt to extort SIC
600 blackmail from her. He was pre-
viously sentenced on two different &C.
casions to terms OF more than one
one and one-half days and the jury
was out but little over an hour
Campbell's stiff sentence was given
him because Of his previous bad rec
ord. rather than the Ward case. He
could have received life sentence for
the offerse. In passing Zentence,
Judge Smith said:
ITO those acquainted with Campbell
and his career, this sentence will APP
pear to be severe, perhaps excessive
But his father was recognized as q
thief. Inheriting his fathers trait he
has been known here for many years
as being On the lookout for opportuni

Of others to his own use.
HE will not work and crime Is with
him a disease, an Inherited disease
II terms Of Ave and ten years in the
state prison will not cause him to
change his course of life. he ought to
be restrained of his liberty for long
er period Of time as a matter of pro-
lection to the people who earn an
honest living"
Campbell was not put on the stand
by the defense as intimated during
the course Of the trial and the defense
consisted OF a fiat denial on the part
OF the counsel for Campbell that he
had anything to do with the case.
The main witness for the people
was Frank Osborne, the 1s.year-old
lad whose confession 10 Sheriff Harris
led up to the clearing up OF the black
mail mystery. He told the story OF
the case from the time he first met
Campbell until the night the package
of money was left beside the fence
on OaklandAave. and he stole up
through the dark to get II and was
fred on by the officers.
Osbornes trial commenced wednes-
day morning in the circuit court and
the defense will try TO prove that he
did not make the threats OF his own
volition. but was used as q tool by
Campbell.
