Frank Pinuree Dead.

Frank c. Pingree, the we'll known
Detroit shoe manufacturer and brother
of the late Hazen S. Pingree, who was
governor of Michigan, died Saturday
morning at his home, in Detroit,
where he had lain unconscious for
four or five days while the family mo-.
mentarily expected his death. He was
CO years old.
His illness began in February,
when he was seized By an attack OF
apoplexy one day while at work in
the Office of his factory on jefferson
avenue. He seemed to improve for a
time after that, but last Sunday this
improvement was Offset by a recur-
renee of the trouble and since then

Can't Even Give Liquor Away.

The conviction of L. c. Meyer, the
Eaton Rapids hotel clerk who was
found guilty in the circuit court of
Eaton county of violating the War

away liquor in. a dry county was con-
firmed by the supreme court Friday
and Meyer is remanded to the circuit
judge for further proceedings.
1t was proven in the trial that
Meyer, who was clerk in one of the
hotels at Eaton Rapids, gave beer TO

Attorney General Can Figure No Way
to Interfere in This Crafty Bit
of Corporation EIusiveness.

AS near as can be figured out, the
promoters OF the big power merger
have put one over on the state. There
Is no one who can figure out a way in
which the state can have any say in
the control of these water powers,
which the combine has included with
In It's new Maine corporation.
1t Is generally understood that the
scheme calls for holding company,
under which this Maine corporation
will own majority of the stock in
each of the plants-but merely as in
vestments. 1t is expected that the
merger will say to the state that each
company will retain it's separate en-
tity, and that the merger does not
have to present its plan to the state
for approval because, under the plan,
there is nothing more being done
than the sale and purchase of stocks
by investors.
State officers call it one of the craft.

which has come to notice In some
time. Attorney General Bird says
that he doubts whether the state can
interfere in any way. He suggests
that any effort to prevent tho plan
being put through would be an inter-
ference with the right of contract
and If the plan Is as understood IL
means that so far as the state public
utility act is concerned it operates
with full force and effect to regulate
small corporations, but that the big
fellows can dodge it by forming for
eign corporations.
The Consumers Power Co. was will
ing to present its plan to the railway
commission until that BODY demanded
an appraisal of the properties to be
merged, and then it was discovered
such an inventory to be made before
the options would expire Then this
plan was evolved and the state finds
itself unable to assume any supervi-
sion over the organization of a corpo-
ration which will control over so per
cent OF the water power in the state.
Chairman Glasgow, of the railway
stands the situation, the merger peo-
pie have taken the matter outside the
jurisdiction of the state. and there Is
nothing further to be done unless the
proposition can be reached from some
other angle, and he admits that he is
not aware Of any way in which the
commission can assume power over

will not admit it does business in
Michigan, but has simply invested in

There have been queer stories of a
variety Of gigantic white rhinoceroses
as large as elephants, a few of which
remained when white men first en-
tered the Nyanza country, but there
are no authentic stories TO set down.
A hunter named Armbruster had an
unfortunate encounter with a white
bull which all who saw 1t agreed must
have been a giant of It's kind. His
wagon had just reached the last rise
to the top Of low hill when a man
in advance came running back making
the finger signs of bull mancho.
Creeping up to the crest of a hill,
Armbruster saw in glade below one
of the finest specimens he had ever
beheld. and Immediately set out to
stalk him on foot.
The rhinoceros was feeding quietly
and the wind was favorable for a di-
rect approach. However, before he
had got near enough, having to make
his way through thorns, he lost sight
of the quarry, which had entered the
brush inclosing the glade. The hunter
made the mistake Of judging the loca-
ton of the creature by a movement in
the brush. A young COW rhinoceros
was feeding there and not the bull.
When within 80 yards Of the move
ment, Armbruster stepped around
clump of mimosa directly into the
presence Of the big bull, standing head
on. 1t Is likely that the old fellow
would have wheeled and departed on
being startled, but, firing from the hip,
Armbruster sent his first barrel into
the neck and, with great snort the
wounded animal charged. The unfor-
tunate sportsman started to dart be-
hind the mimosa, but tripped and fell
headlong, and the huge engine of
ferocity was upon him before he could
rise or roll to one side. The long
horns were thrust so deeply through
his body that it was borne along some
little distance until the bull tossed II
OFF, and then he plunged away through
the brush and was gone.

COAL DEALINGS
PRESENT PROBLEM
One Who Knows Tells How Hard 1t is
to Get a Supply in Winter Like
the Present One.

That the heat producing substance,
coal, is hard to obtain, even at any
price, is probably well known by local
consumers, especially during a winter
like the one which we are now having,
and no doubt a good deal of blame is
put On the dealer. However, this
morning, one of the latter species pre-
scented his side of the case to report
er In just about the following way:
Yes, l suppose everyone blames us
when they cannot get coal, and won
der why we don't have supply. If
they only knew what a hard time we
have In getting our orders filed they
would be more lenient.
During a season like this" ae went
on, "a contract with mining company
Is not worth the paper it's written on.
They offer al. kinds of excuses, such
as inability to get cars, miners strikes
and various other things, while the real
secret at the bottoms of it all is, that
there are plenty of people who are
willing to pay any price for it in order
to get 1t SO that the managers simply
forget the firms whom they have got
contracts with, and let it go to any
one willing to pay a big price
Another place where we get the
worst end of it is in the matter of
getting full carload. 1t is not an I'M
common thing for car to be several
tons short by the time it arrives, the
people along the route having skin
ned" it, Poor people take is as the car
lies on a switch, many others also get
away with a supply. And that's all
loss to us.
"Cne of the agents of the Cory mine
was here last week, and he called on
us before leaving. He didn't come to
se.l coal, though, because there was
none to sell. There are people in Chi
cage who would take all the coal
we've got, The said.
These dealers who sign contracts
to furnish institutions with fuel GER
tainly get stung in a hard winter.
When these contracts are made, along
in the fall, the weather is usually
warm and there is no promise of a Sc
we're cold SPELL Thus the price is
down, and the contract presents a
very low figure. But the cold sets in,
and the price goes up. The dealer was
not figuring on this and probably he
will have to furnish coal which is
worth in the market about seven or
eight dollars, for, maybe three and a
half, the price set in the contract dur
ing the fall.
Nov an irresponsible firm will pay
no attention to this contract some
times, when conditions are as have
Just presented them. But we would.
We stuck to it when the price went
UP as high as ten dollars"
