COURT REVERSEs
FIRST DECISION
Judge Hosmer Noy Rules He Hss
No Authority To Interfere With
Supervisors Equalization.

Holding that he had no Jurisdiction
TO interfere with the work OF the
equalization committee OF the board
of county supervisors, Judge Hosmer.
Friday afternoon, reversed his pre-
vious decision. and decided that the
present equalization may stand This
decision was reached after he had
listened to three hours OF argument
on the part OF Attorneys James Tur-
ner representing Crosse Pointe town.
ship; james Pound, Greenheld; Rob
ert Nellis, Hamtramck and Prose-
cutor Van Zile and Assistant Prose-
cutor Aldrich, who appeared for the
supervisors.
AS soon as Judge Hosmer an
nounced his decision Mr.. Turner de-
clared that the matter would be car
ried TO the supreme court.
Judge Hosmer called in Judge Muir
fin TO sit with him and the latter con-
Cured in the findings.
I'VE do not ask the circuit court to
interfere with the results reached bJ
the equalization committee" Mr.. Tur-
ner said, but we do insist that the
law be observed In the proceedings
OF that committee. We think 1t unfair
when a small coterie of the super
visors can guess at the figures with
out the examination OF a single as
sessment book, and hold meetings at
which the aggrieved members are not
present. We intend TO see If there is
not some power 10 compel the board
to at least observe the law In reach
ing it's conclusions"
In case the appeal is taken. and the
attorneys interested say it will be,
it will likely delay the tax rolls and
hold up the collection OF taxes until
long after the usual date of collection.
Attorney Pound elaborated on the
argument of Mr.. Turner, that the
judges were not asked TO interfere
with the findings OF the committee.
but were asked to compel the board
TO observe the law in reaching the
results.
Perhaps in case you hold with US
and the work OF equalization Is done
over the figures assessed to these
townships may be increased" he said.
I'VE insist. however, that in arriving
at these figures the assessment books
be examined, property values taken
lulO dhu WV
ors from the country be given some
voice in the matter"
do you charge fraud in this mat
ter?" Mr.. Pound was asked by Judge
Murfin.
I'VE haven't gone that far the at
torney stated. I'VE have no desire
to use that kind OF language. but II
the occasion arises we can use bill
lingsGate as we'll as anyone"
Mr.. Van Zile and Mr.. Aldrich
claimed that the supervisors had &C
cess at any time to the books OF the
city assessors office, and several
members of the committee did exam
inc those books. Mr.. Aldrich said
that as a result OF this examination
the first draft of the committee was
greatly changed.

WOULD CHANGE
THE PRIMARY LAW
Frank Knox, G. o. P. Chairman,
Would Require Two Years Notice
of Switch in Party Affiliation.

Frank Knox. of the 500, chairman
OF the Republican state central com
mittee, has a number OF suggestions
for perfecting the primary law, which
he will try TO have brought TO the at
tention of the next legislature.
"As IL Is now" said knox, there
are too many Democrats voting as Re-
publicans In the primaries. An in
stance OF that was seen In the nom.
ination OF the late mayoral candidate
Proctor X. owens. To prevent this
I would have, first, a general re-en
rollment OF the voters OF the entire
state. Thereafter II a man wants Ia
change his party afiliation for the
purpose of voting at the primary, he
should be required to declare his In
tention In writing two years before
Just as a man Is required to declare
his intention OF becoming a citizen.
IF | had my way l would also pro
hibit candidates from advertising In
newspapers, although l am a newspa'
per man myself, and l would limit the
amount that could be spent to secure
an ONCE, the amount depending on the
importance OF the office.
Il believe, too, that the primary
should be held In the spring or early
summer rather than In September
There is bound to be a certain amount
OF soreness" following a heated prim
airy campaign. II the primary were
held earlier the breaches would have
time TO heal and 1t would save both
the candidates and the voters the un
pleasantness and fatigue incident 10

ADVOCATES DANCE HALLS.
Would Keep Boys and Girls From
Street, Says Miss Freeman.

In a talk before the Central w. G.
T. IT,, Friday afternoon. in Central
M. f. chapel, Miss Ada Freeman, pro-
baton officer of the juvenile court.
made a plea for the dance hall for
girls and boys Of the factory and the
shop.
Perhaps, you do not approve Of
dancing, perhaps, do not either, but
the fact remains, borne out by my ev-
eryday experience in probation work,
that one way to drown the call Of
the street is to provide well conduct
ed dance hall" Miss Freeman said.
The neighborhood settlements are
doing a noble work. In the Franklin
ST. settlement l am told about 200 at
tend the weekly dances given in the
settlement house. AS contrast to the
unattractive surroundings OF the av-
erage home OF these boys and girls,
they crave noise and glare and will go
TO the dance hall connected with the
saloons. unless We provide them with
something better"

WINDOW GLASS COMBINE
WILL BE DISSOLVED
Fifteen Officials Of Pittsburg Firm
Plead NoIo Contendere and Are
Fined $500 Each.

PITTSBURG, Nov 12.-Fifteen on
cials and directors Of the Imperial
Glass Co. pleaded nolo contendere be-
fore Judge James 8. Young in the Uni
ted States district court Friday to a
violation OF the Sherman antitrust
act, and each was fined $500. At the
same time fine of $4,000 was imposed
upon the corporation itself with costs.
Among those fined are Myron L. Case,

blown glass had been established and
an increase in price from so to 20 per
cent been effected will follow immed.
lately, II was announced by attorneys
for the company.
The Imperial Window Glass Co. was
indicted by the federal grand jury
last April, with individual indictments
against the officers and directors
mainly through the activity OF United
States Attorney John H. Jordan and
Edwin P. Grosvenor, special assistant
to the attorney-generars once Al
Washington. The company was or
ganized in West Virginia less thar
two years ago. Attorneys who ad
dressed the court In behalf Of the de
PENDANTS argued that since there had
been NO intention on the part OF the
company to violate the Law the penalty
should be light.
They said farther that the prices
OF hand-blown glass had been ruin
GUS before the combine was estab'
lished, and that the corporation only
tried to assure a 10 per cent profit
on the capital invested. 1t was also
pointed out that the moment the court
sustained the indictments the company
indicated its willingness TO dissolve.
The court severely scored the de-
PENDANTS. You are not to draw the
conclusion" said Judge Young. from
the fact that these fines are light
that there are not such cases where
imprisonment should be the penalty.
The court had, he said, taken into
consideration that the indicted direc.
tors had assisted the government ma
teriaIly in It's investigation and had
not prosecuted business after the de-
murrer vas dismissed last October.
The company, 1t has been alleged,
controlled the product OF glass fac
tories in more than q score of states.

Let The Buyer Know.

There are many merchants who believe
that money spent in advertising is like
charity. because everybody in their ter
ritory knows them and the goods they
sell. Yet we venture the assertion that
a large percentage Of the business the
mail-order houses draw from rural com
munitics is due to the fact that the pur-
chaser does not know he can get the
goods us advantageously from his home
me chants. The country merchant can
advertise with the same proportionate
success in his county paper that the de-
partment store gains by advertising in
the city papers by simply telling the
people what he has in stock and what
he is charging for Wheeling wv. Va)
News.

There is an organization of ladies' in

for those violating the laws of our

such as slot machines. card tables, po-

Now when fellow feels like investing

eneing something entirely new in the
line Of n strike. Heretofore all strikes
have been brought about by tie labor
ing public but this strike comes from
the eating public. There has been =,
much noise made recently over the
question Of the increased cost Of living
that movement has been started In
Cleveland to organize an anti meat
eating strike and Il seems to be gaining
favor rapidly judging by the numbers
that are reported to be joining in the
move. II is claimed that 6,000 men
have signed the pledge against eating
meats at the present prices and Il Is
predicted that within one weeks time,
upwards Of 20. 900 families will be en-.
listed In the strike. The plan is TO In
crease the number Of the strikers TO
such an extent M 10 force the price of
meats down to where Il should be.
