VERNON FEARS ROAD
SCHEME W|lLW|h
Says Average Voter Won't Under
stand Matter Thoroughly and VIII
Support Proposition.

The victory of the Board Of Com
merce In getting the board OF super
visors to submit to the people the
plan to bond the county to the ex-
tent OF $2.000,000 for the purpose OF
building new roads, was q matter OF
general discussion among the super
visors. Monday. Supervisor Vernon
said he had no regrets because OF the
Supervisor Field voiced the same
sentiments.
Supervisor Vernon declared that he
had talked with upwards Of 80 prom
inent citizens on Sunday. and that
they were all In sympathy with the
course he took. He said. however,
that he was afraid the average voter
would not understand the matter
thoroughly on election day. and that
because Of the misunderstanding the
bonding plan would carry.
1T just means" said Supervisor
Vernon, that II the plan goes
through. We shall have TO pay out
$66S,00 In interest on the $4,000 900
bond issue. whereas IL the roads were
built by the mill rate scheme. as At
present. we should have no interest
TO pay at all. or course, the new
roads will be built In less time by the
bonding plan, but wouldn't II be bet
ter TO go slowly In the matter?"
, Supervisor Field pointed out that
section OF the law. overlooked on
Saturday. provides that all roads
built in townships and villages by the
county will ever afterward have to
be kept in repair by the county. This,
he argued. will mean a big item. in
asmuch as Road Commissioner Hines
has stated that 1t costs upwards Of
$l25 a mile each year to keep roads
in proper repair.

CHURCH LOSES SUIT.
Caiverts May Build Garage Adjoining
North Woodward Baptist.


Judge Hosmer dismissed the pro-
ceedings brought by the North Wood
ward Baptist church and others TO
restrain Charles Calvert and his wife,
Louise. from erecting a business block
and garage on property fronting on
Woodward-ave. and adjoining the
church property. This action was TAX
en- Monday morning. but the Judge
made up his mind as to the course
he would pursue on Friday, when he
visited the property and looked over
the situation.
Calvert proposes TO erect twostory
block, with a small garage in the rear.
His lot adjoins the church, but he is
building III feet back from the church
lot line. and the plans show that the
building will be an attractive one. Sew
eral OF the lots in that subdivision
were restricted to residences, but the
Calvert lot was not.
Judge Hosmer decided that the
church had no standing In court af-
ter he learned that the church lot is
another subdivision. Joined with the
church people TO restrain the Calverts
were Charles A. Mullenhagen, Frank
Sprowles. and Charles II. Voorhees,,
but the court held that the proposed
building would not injure their prop
erty in any way.

Number Only About Quarter OF Total
But are Always Bitterly
Fought.
A study OF the docket Of the Wayne
circuit court by Judge Murphy, who
Is presiding during the present term.
discloses the fact that the damage
cases against the ID. u. r. consume
about one-half the time OF the court.
OF the first 400 cases on the court
docket for the present term 95. or al.
most one-Q0arter, were against the
ID. u. r.. and that Is about the average
during the year. While the ID. u. r Is
named as defendant In only about 20
per cent Of the damage cases started.
the trial OF these takes up at least so
per cent Of the courts time. for the
reason that damage cases are always
vigorously fought and take up about
double the time Of the ordinary run
of lawsuits.
During the present term 500 cases
have been called and set for trial.
Next Thursday 200 cases. from 800 to
500. will be called. At the present
rate Of progress the docket will be
cleaned up at the end Of the present

KNOX CONES Rack AT HEMANS.
Gays Latter Can Find Unfair Assess-
ments Right A. Home.

"OUk0 Ut0Hs ~ s'Ss''~'
That Lawton T. Hemans. the Dem
ocratic candidate for governor. 10
something Of o demagogue is the
charge made by w. Frank Knox,
chairman Of the Republican state CEN
tral committee.
Mr.. Hemans has had q great deal
to say In his speeches about the low
assessments placed on mining proper
ties In the upper peninsula. He has
charged that these properties are as
sessed at only about 20 per cent OF
their real value. Mr.. Knox has had
q man nosing around Hemans home
county, Ingham, and the discovery
has been made, according to the In
formation furnished Knox, that the
26 big corporations doing business In
that county, with assets Of $7,600.0OO
are assessed at only $1,500,000, or
considerably less than 20 per cent.
And so far az anyone has heard,
Mr.. Hemans has never raised his
voice In protest against the condi-
tions prevailing in his own county
and has never done anything to rem
edy these conditions" said Mr..
Knox.
"As a matter of fact, II looks as
though Mr.. Hemans were attacking
the mining companies simply for the
effect Il will have on the voters In
the lower peninsula. He has nothing
TO lose 10 the upper peninsula by
talking that way. SO he is perfectly
safe In using that kind of campaign
dope. am not defending the mining
companies, mind you, but the point |
make 10 that II Mr.. Hemans 10 look
ing for things to criticise he can find
enough to keep him busy right at
home"
Mr.. Knox returned from the 500"
Monday morning, greatly pleased
with the outlook In the north coun-
try.

YALE FULLBACK

Arthur Howe Named for Back
Line Place,

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Oct. 81
The fullbacks position on the Yale
varsity has been filled, and the 9TH
er candidates for the team were
taken by surprise when Head Coach
Ted Coy said this afternoon that the
choice was Arthur Howe, who play
ed quarterback on his freshman
eleven and who was first choice foy
quarter list year, when the first
Substitute was Pop" Corey, captain
Of the baseball team.
Howe is oneiof the most popular
men in the junior class, and the
choice, although a snrprlsej will be
well received. Besides being a mem
Der of the football squad. he is ac-
tive in track work. As a result OF
the advance of Howe to varsity full
back position, the two competitors
of the quarterback places are Mer-
rift and Strout. Corey played as
first quarter up to the West Point
game, but the coaches have decided
that StrOut is a better man, and II
was announced today that he prob
ably would be the varsity quarter.

WALKING RACE
IN DECEMBER
Kalakaua Avenue Event Should
Come OFF BY Middle
of Month.

1t is about time that preparations
for the Kalakaua Avenue walking con-
test were begun, and in some quart
ers the men who entered the race last
year are talking over the event which
should be pulled off the middle of
next month.
Last year there We're twenty-five en-.
tries for the event, which number was
reduced by the elimination walk to
eleven contestants for the final walk.
There Is talk in some quarters of
doing away with the elimination walk
this year and thus give the full num-
Der Of entrants chance at the real
contest
This might bring some OF them
closer to the front in the finish for
there would be more inducement for
speed when 1t was in the real contest
with u crowd at the finish than when
only In a preliminary event.
Should the total number of emf,
rants be in the real wulk there would
also be more interest from spectat-
oI's point of view than with fewer
contestants.
The time last year was 1910 for the
mile aud three-quarter course and the
event was won by Dick Sullivan, who
says that he will not enter this year.
There Is report that fine trophy
will be put up for the winner of the
event this year, but the. one who
plans doing this does not wish his
name used AT present in connection
with the trophy.
II the event Is to be pulled off at
the regular time next month aspirants
for walking honors should begin 10
get into condition within short time
for The event
1t is expected that at least as many
will enter this year as did last, and
with this % or even less the walk
will be success,
