Woman in Methodist Conference.

Miss Job of Queenstown, Tasmania,
is said to be the only woman who has
ever sat within the bar at Wesleyan
Methodist conference. When she first
took her seat one minister protested
that the conference was composed only
of ministers and iaymen and that they
had no power to admit the best lady
in the land. All others, including the
president of the conference, took the
position that women were included as
laymen and MSS Job retained her seat
within the bar.

age TO face him with propositions ad-
verse 10 his views. But one who
openly and honestly faced him was
sure, sooner or later to feel that the

Il personally know that during the
period from April, 1899. until Deem
Der. 1909, there were but few confer
ences held by Governor Pingree In
reference to railroad taxation matters
at which Mr.. Osborn was not present.
He was advised with by Governor Pin

in procuring the repeal of the special

He seconded the efforts of the gov

know many others besides myself can

be borne out by much other substan-
tial testimony that without capable
Osborn and others who might with
equal justice be named, at Governor
Pingree's side, he would surely have
failed in accomplishing many, If not
all, of the good results he sought, and
his administration would have been
stamped as a failure instead of the
momentous success that it was. For
who now is held in higher estimation
among Michigan's governors for their
services i'm behalf of the public good
than is Hazen S. Pingree?
My testimony is that no one was
more faithful TO Governor Pingree in
promoting the best of his public
measures than was Mr. Osborn. No
one Of his advisors was more true to
the demands OF right and reason in his
relations with his official chief than
was he.

ment for me Ia testify regarding the
character of the administration of the
office of commissioner of railroads by
Mr. Osborn during the period, which
was practically coterminous with my
own as attorney general. He was a
vigorous, honest and capable commits
sioner and served with result of the
highest moment To the general well
fare of the people of the state of
Michigan. In fact. personally believe
that no commissioner of railroads be-
fore or since can point to more things
accomplished of genuine worth or mo-
ment than can Mr.. Osborn.
Five days after he assumed the po-
sition, he announced as his policy
that where he had jurisdiction, grade
separations at the crossing of streets
and steam railroads would be enforce
ed whenever at all possible. The per-
sistency with which Mr.. Osborn pur-
sued this policy was a matter of pub
lie notoriety during the four years
that he held the Office. His inflexible
adhesion to this policy, and the value
of the protection TO the public thus
secured, regardless OF anything else,
made his administration conspicuous
and demonstrated his pre-eminent
merit as public servant
Early i'm his first term, he made
personal inspection OF the 1921 miles
of railroad in Michigan. This in
spection was no junket, but a PAINS
taking and intelligent scrutiny of rail-
road conditions. with special reference
to the observance or on-observance
of the laws of the state relative to
safety appliances. etc.
"In the two thousand or more hear
ings had by Mr.. Osborn while he was
commissioner on complaints and on
applications OF various kinds connect
ed with the administration of his Of
flee. never heard minated in the
slightest degree that he had unfairly
favored the railroad interests as
against the public. In fact. the criti-
cism was rather i'm the other direc-
ton and | frequently heard the charge
made that i'm his hearings Osborn
quite often out pingreed Pingree in
looking after the public. He never
failed to assert, i'm season and some-
times out of season, the existence
of facts which he believed determined
the liability of the railroads to in
creased taxes or reduced rate of fare.
His efforts to include i'm gross in
come railroad revenues that had not
been previously included i'm levying
railroad taxes bear evidence TO his
zeal. During his administration cases
were started, based upon his prompt
report of current earnings, reducing
the rates of fare on the Wabash, the
Grand Rapids and Indiana, portions of
the Grand Trunk from three cents per
mile to two and one-half, and on the
Lake shore and Grand Trunk West
ern to two cents. The repeal of the
special railroad charters. in which Mr..
Osborn's part was persunal 5and i'm

DIR. Fritch OF Detroit has been found
guilty Of manslaughter in connection
with the death OF Maybelle Mllman,
an Ann Arbor young woman, who died,
il was alleged, from a criminal opera
ton performed by DIR. Fritch, and
whose dismembered body was subse-
quently found in Ecorse creek The
verdict is in keeping with the strong
evidence gathered by the prosecution.
From the beginning of the trial it was
practically certain the defendant would
be convicted. An acquittal or a dis
agreement would have been gross
miscarriage of justice. The result of
this case should have a salutary effect
on other physicians of the ilk of DR..
Fritch who make their living through
illegitimate practice i'm defiance of NOR

The verdict is just and we hope TO
see Fritch get the limit of punish

ATTORNEY GENERAL
ENTERS THE FIELD
MONDAY MORNING
Well Known Greene County
Lawyer and State Official
Surprises State by Entering
Race for Governor
THINKS THAT FRACTIONAL
FIGHTS INJURE THE STATE

Attorney General John c. Hart Mon
day morning announced his candidacy
for governor. He Immediately gave out
a statement and dispatched notes to Gov
ernor Brown and former Gov. Hoke
Smith informing them of his decision to
make the race. William H. Davis, of
Burke county, acted as messenger. His
candidacy, he says, is not born of per-
sonal ambition, but comes Of a desire
to pacify 1.-The warning political factions"
of the state.
Unlike most candidates, Judge Hart
admits that he was not moved to become
candidate by the urgent demands he
has received from his friends over the
state. On the contrary, he declares that
he has advised with no one, nor held
any conferences concerning the matter.
though he has from time to time receiv-
ed letters suggesting that he run for
governor. These letters cover several
years.
DECIDED SUNDAY NIGHT.
Judge Hart made the decision TO be-
come a candidate in Atlanta on Sunday.
He states that he had considered it him
self for only short time, but does not
regard his decision as premature, for
he realizes that The has burned his
bridges" and expects to resign as at
torney general in a short time, If he can
possibly arrange his Office matters.
To a suggestion that, possibly, his
unexpected candidacy in this campaign
might make him a potential factor two
years hence, Judge Hart declared that
he would take the decision Of the people
in this race as final. If defeated now, he
will not run again for governor, but will.
he says, retire to private life, devotiug
himself to law and farming. He owns q
large plantation in Greene county.
The announcement of Judge Hart $
candidacy came as a surprise. Former
Gov. Hoke Smiths friends were unques-
tionably taken unawares, while the
friends and followers OF Governor Brown
professed to be equally as surprised at
the attorney generals entrance into the
field.
