APRIL Is IS DEAD-LINE.
Saloonkeepers Must Pay License BY
That Date or Quit Business.

When Detroit saloonkcepers had
their applications passed upon b. the
council April IL, they finished only
first OF their troubles. Many OF them
have since found that it IS no easv
matter &c get a bond under the new
law, but there Is still third peril
that stands between them and the op-
Grafton OF their business during the
coming year. The $500 zee must be
paid and the bonds certified TO and
filed with the county treasurer by
April %. Any man who let's his neg
lect carry him past that date. loses
his license as surely as II he had
never applied for 1t.
In past years saloonkeCpers have
paid for their tax cards at any time
up TO the middle of June. They have
taken weeks to bring their $500 to the
county treasurer, and the county had
tc have a special officer to get after
them and see that they paid. There
will be no hustling after the saloon
men this year. II they do not pay,
they lose their business. CITY Clerk
Nichols gave everyone a fair chance
BY mailing out the notices TO file bond
on the night of April ii. SO that every
man whose application was granted
got his notice Tuesday.
The Jasper G.. Gates suit in the
supreme court by which II was sought
to decrease the number OF saloons in
Detroit has not been dropped by any
means, and Supt George w. Morrow.

NEW APARTMENTS
ON JEFFERs0K-AVE.
Pair of Costly Structures Will Be
Built by Detroiters-Walter c.
Russell Heavily Interested.

Plans have been practically com-
pletet by John Scott & Co., architects
In the Ford building, for what will DO
two OF the finest apartment houses,
in the matter OF appointments. in this
part OF the country. In this respect
they will compare with the costliebt
apartment houses in New York and
Boston, and will excel anything or the
kind now In Detroit. according to the
plans
A site Is already arranged for at the
southeast corner OF Jefferson and ST.
Aubin-aves., in the heart or one or tn.
city's most exclusive residence sec
tons, and bids will be asked within
week or two. Walter c. Russell,
president and manager of the Russell
Wheel q Foundry Co.. whose home 10
in the immediate vicinity, Is one or
the men most largely interested III
the project. and associated with him
are men equally well-known in De-
troit business and social circles.
While the projectors are not pre-
pared at this time to disclose the full
ment houses, as now planned will be
four stories high, the height being
kept down 10 this limit for special
reasons II is In the interior arrange
ment and appointments that the apart
ments will excel. II Is understood
that the Security Trust Co will have
the handling of the property.
Persons familiar with this section
of the city say the erection of apart
ments of this class in such locality
il but the beginning of a movement TO
make this quarter OF the town an eA-
elusive apartment house district The
Pasadena, the SWEETEST apartment
building in the city at the present
time, Is close by. and the Jefferson
apartments, also very exclusive, are
not SO far away One Of the possibili-
ties of the future. in the opinion OF
those interested In property in this
section, is the conversion OF the dis
tIict south OF Jefferson, in this neigh
borhood, into park.

BANCROFT SAYS He
MUST Be SHOWN"
Ism. Going To Work Before APP.
praisal Board Before He Knows
Where Moneys Coming From.

A question of money is now In
viewed In the arbitration proceedings
over the Bancroft appraisal OF the De'
tloit United Railway property. En-
gineer Bancroft has taken the position
that he must be shown.
They have got 10 pay for every
thing they get" was his terse summing
up OF the situation Saturday.
Ii must be borne In mind that Bar
croft did his work for the committee
OF fifty for practically nothing, while
his experts received little lore than
their expenses in coming here. Some
OF these bills are still unpaid. Under
these circumstances, II Is not remark
able that Bancroft wants TO know
where the money is coming from be-
fore he undertakes another long siege
OF work before the arbitration board.
while the mayor believes that this
arbitration can be finished IN 10 days,
| think that the wish is father &c the
thought" says Bancroft. In Cleve-
lana they had agreed upon all the es-
eCntials but Il took three months to
reach a decision upon th2lr applica-
lions. The preparation OF a case like
this Is very important and should take
a great deal OF time"
Chairman + w. Eddy. OF the COM
rI,tce OF nifty, states that he believes
Bancroft should be paid for his SER
vices, IL being shown that they are
worth what may be asked.
In such case as is TO begin week
from next Monday. the time OF many
experts may be required. The u. u.
X. will pay it's men, of course, but
just where the money will come from
for the city's witnesses is still in the
air. The ID. u. X. rental fund is open
for that purpose II The council sees
III To appropriate II TO that use. En-
g.neer Bancroft is now communicating
with his men to ascertain when they
will be able TO come here, if required.
II would like TO know who the man
is in Detroit who first started the
idea that this work would De done for
nothing" remarked Bancroft. when
the same aldermen talked OF requir-
ing a bond that my experts would come
here without further cost, said that
would give a bond that they would
not do so"
Engineer Bancroft does not take
very seriously the holding up Of the
hills amounting TO Sl.l93 for the com
pletion Of the appraisal. He remarked
that IL seems as If he is not TO be paid
for one piece of work until he does
another, referring to the proceedings
before the board OF arbitration.

Representative George R. Foss in the Tenth district and the renomination of nearly all the men involved in the legislative bribery scandal are the striking features of the Illinois state wide primary election.
 Representative James k. Mann. against whom a strong fight was made by two insurgents. Joseph R. Burrs and Louis ] Behan, ill the Second dis trict. has won,
 Representative BouteIl, who has been member of congress i3 years and was one of the strong supporters of Speaker Cannon and the tariff bill lost the nomination by over 1000 votes. He had made his canvass on a platform of sturdy support of the administration and of all the legisla- tion enacted by congress last year and this.
 State interest centered largely in the campaigi that was made by the Legislative Voters league and other reform organizations 10 clean out the general assembly. This was meant to get rid of the members who were suspected of corruption in con nection with the election of Senator Lorimer and of sharing in the spells of the last session.
 Lee O'Neill Browne, who was acquit- ted last week on the charge of bribing legislators to vote for William Lori mer for senator, is renominated in his district.
 The net result Of the primary, as it relates to legislative corruption, seems to warrant the conclusion that the electorate of the state was not so shocked as the reform element hoped it might be, in view of the senatorial disclosure made in the last four months.

SWEEPING SUIT IS READY
Foreign Commerce and Interstate Trade Restraint and Other Viola tions harged-President Or
 dered Renewed Attack.

New York-United States District Attorney Henry A Wise will begin an action to dissolve the sugar trust, of which Washington B. Thomas Is the head.
 Backed by Attorney Conceal Wick ersham. with whom he has consulted at every stage of the preparatory in vestigation, he will file a complaint in which sweeping charges of fraud and conspiracy in restraint of trade will be made.
 Restraint of both foreign commerce and interstate trade is to be alleged and the new complaint will cite vio- lations not included in the former court attack on the sugar trust.
 President Taft was greatly disap- pointed when the former case ended in defeat for the government. The at torney general and Mir Wise were both called to Beverly To consult with Mr. Taft and were ordered, il is said, to proceed with a new case
 It is believed that a way has been found of successfully attacking the trust. A receiver may be asked for early in the proceedings.
