Miss Lena Arthur of Laingsburg
was knocked down by a westboupd
belt line car this afternoon at the
corner of Washington and Michigan
avenues and although she was rolled
for some little distance by the fender
she was not injured. Spectators differ
as to whether the car knocked her down
or she slipped on the icy crossing as
she was hurrying to get out of the way
ofthe car but at the sight Of the pros
trate young woman being rolled along
under the fender, witnesses of her
plight were Mortified and many women
screamed. Everyone was surprised
when the young lady announced that
she was not injured and walked down

Will Senator Tuttie Become District
Attorney

Washington dispatches this week
indicate that if Hon. Frank II. Watson,
formerly of this city, is not re-. e.appointed
as U. s. District Attorney for eastern
Michigan before March 4th that the
appointment may go to Hon. Arthur j.
Tuttle of Lansing, the present senator
from this district. Mr.. Tuttle in com.
pany with Judge Weist and Paul King
of Lansing, was in Washington the
first of the week to consult with
Senator.to-be Townsend. Referring to
sthe trip and the news dispatches Sena-
tor Tuttle says;
"My trip to Washington had abso-
lutely nothing to do with my own ap.
pointment to the Office of district at
torney. never have made application
for the position and never asked any
person to endorse it for it. If the
Office comes to me it will be entirely
unsolicited. Both the report that
went to Washington to urge the ap-
pointment of Judge West and the op-
posite report that I went to oppose it
are entirely without foundation.
spoke to Senator Smith and Congress-
man Townsend in a complimentary
manner relative to Judge West, but
l did not understand that the federal
judgeship was under consideration at
the present time"
A Washington dispatch to the De-
troit Journal of last evening says:
Senator Burrows seems to be determin-
ed, if he can compass it, to secure the
denomination of District Attorney
Watson, of the eastern district of
Michigan, and of Customs Collector
Whelan, of Detroit. The terms of
Office of both incumbents have expired
and it is known to be the desire of
some of the politicians that their places
shall be filled by men chosen with the
consent of Senator Smith and Senator.
elect Townsend. 1t is possible that the
administration may be put into a
somewhat embarrassing position in
connection with these places.

NO REDUCTION IN
PULLMAN RATES
QUOTATIONS ON THAT ARTICLE
REMAIN FIRM AND STEADY
WILL REMAIN so.

Washington. June 2-tAlthough this
commerce commissions order reduc-
ing the price of Pullman berths was
to take effect, the quotations on that
article remain firm and steady, with
| possibilities of an upward tendency.
| As matter of fact, 1t may be for
years and it may be forever, before
the travelling public enjoys any re-
duction in Pullman fares. The Pull
man company will probably fight the
matter out to the last ditch. Officials
of the corporation deny the right of
the commission to regulate their af-
fairs. and are especially indignant at
the idea that there should be a diff
, ferential between upper and lower
berths, or. in other words, that up
per berths should be lower than
lower berths Lawyers for the com
pany are gathering facts, figures and
statistics to prove that "uppers'
are really more desirable than low
ers."
The chief point upon which the
Pullman company will base its fight
is the jurisdiction of the commission.
1t was not until the passage OF the
Hepburn Act in 1906 that it was eX-
pressly noted that the commission
should have jurisdiction over the
sleeping car companies and the eX
press companies. Upon that basis
the commission forced the Pullman
company TO file its rates as the
railroads have always been doing
TOhe Pullman Company filed the
rates, but upon each instance these
tariff sheets carried the note that
the company reserved the right to
contest the jurisdiction of the com
mission.
by making such note on their
tariff sheets the Pullman company
showed that it was expecting that
at some time such case as this
would come up before the commits
sion. 1t has been intimated that the
Pullman company wCull avail itself
Of the dissenting opinions that were
filed by Chairman Knapp and Com
missioner Harlan, but upon review
of these opinions there Is not much
of practical Importance, It is beliey-
ed, that the Pullman company can
make use of.
No doubt it will be some time
before the general public can get
the benefit of the reduced rates,
even if upheld, because in the first
place only very few rates were
ordered to be reduced.
