NAGEL DEFENDS
VIM. B. THOMPSON
Former Deputy Controller Produces
Records to Show Ex-Mayor Is
Sound on Public Ownership.

K-Qwsns,- the Republican
candidate for mayor, has finally sue
ceeded in drawing the fire OF The
Democrats. Up to now, friends VI
ex-Mayor William b. Thompson,
Owens opponent, have taken Little
notice of anything the Republican
candidate has said, but when, In has
recent keynote" speech, he charged
that Thompson is insincere In his ad-
vocacy OF municipal ownership, he
went a step too far, the Democrats
say.
Former Deputy Controller William
]. Nagel has come to the defense OF
Mr.. Thompson in vigorous style, and
he does not hesitate TO call Mr.. Owens
a liar.
Il had not intended TO mix in poll
tics TO any extent this fall, said
Nagel to The Times, "but some Of the
statements made by Owens in his
Eighth ward speech. are such palpable
lies. that simply could not sit back
and see them go unchallenged. Mr.
Owens said, for instance. that Mr.
Thompson took no interest in the con-
stitutional convention. and made no
effort TO secure anything for Detroit
in the way of home rule. Under date
OF Nov. IL, 1907, the records show, Mr.
Thompson sent communication to
the common council. asking that a
dele CATION be sent to Lansing to dis
cuss the questions OF home rule and
municipal ownership before the con-
vention. The council did send a com
mittee TO discuss home rule only
Mayor Thompson went along with the
party and was the only man Ia the
delegation who discussed both home
rule and municipal ownership.
If anyone has any. doubt as to
where Mr. Thompson stands OH the
question OF municipal ownership, Il Is
only necessary TO turn TO the journal
OF the common council for 1907 aud
1908 In his second annual message
to the council. Jan. IA, 1908, Mayor
Thompson said:

constitutional convention, that

GENERAL MOTORS
] TO GET LOAN OF

Negotiations With Kuhn, Loeb q Co.,
New York Bankers, For Under
writing Of Big Bond Issue Are
Close to Successful End.
New Capital Will Put Auto Merger
On Its Feet and Assure Future
of Industry Generally.

Although there is not yet official
confirmation, IL is reported on excel,
lent authority that negotiations which
have been, pending for come time for
the financing OF the General Motors Co.
by the big New York banking house
OF Kuhn. Loeb "a Co., are very close

According to the arrans ement as
reported, Kuhn. Loeb 4 Co, viii IN

bonds covering the entire assets OF
General Motors. This sum Will pay
all outstanding obligations OF all the
subsidiaries Of the automobile COM
bine, will take care OF all additions
10 the various plants which are now
under way and Will furnish a large
sum for working capital.
II has been known for several
months that there was an enort 10
interest Kuhn. Loeb & Co.. in tinanc-
ing General Motors. and agents OF
the banking house are said TO haze
made an inventory OF the varo@s
plants OF the company early this fall.
II was the general belief. however,
that these negotiations had been
dropped, when it was announced a
short time ago that the Buick con
pany, which is one OF the largest sub
Sidiaries OF General Motors. had nego-
tiated a loan in Boston TO supply its
needs. This apparently was only 3
temporary step taken pending the
completion OF the larger financial
plans.
This deal, which is likely TO be CON-
pleted within the week, will clear
up the doubt that has been hanging
over the automobile situation and set
the industry on firm footing not
only In Detroit, but also in New York,
whence most OF the knocks and cri
icism have come. Kuhn, Loeb & Co

When Men Are Geese.

When Wen Are Geese.
Baltimore American.
Thirty-hve hundred and more geese
paraded into Maysyille, KY, the other
day. trailing from the mountains of
the eastern part of the State, led by d
mountaineer, who kept them stepping
by throwing out corn along the way
The goose lure is found not only in
Kentucky; the dropping of corn has
led professions of geese to travel
along the highways of the country for
generations, and always will. Dame
Fashion has been dropping corn along
the road for ages, and always the
geese follow. Political office has led
multitudes Of geese along the road of
glad expectation, and wealth and fame
have simply crowded the highways of
life with geese.
A procession of geese can readily be
detected when there Is a particularly
alluring prOmters prospectus being
dropped by some astute student Of
human gullibility. The geese will fol-
low In the wake of anyone who claims
a wizardy turning gross substance into
gold. They do not need such fine en-
ticement, however, as they are readily
lured by iiattery and led by conceit
In fact, the Maysville procession was
nothing unusual It. can be duplicated
on the promenades Of Baltimore, and
the bigger the city the more likely to
find the geese hocking along with
their cackle. SO says the moralist upon
human follies, and he Is as apt as any
one TO belong to the goose group. In
fact, every man has his goose days.
