HULL FACTION
SAVES VICTORY
State Grange Suppresses Mention of
Report on Atlantic City Meeting
-Favors Parcels Post.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich, Dec. H.
The Hull faction came out victorious
when the report of the subcommittee
or the executive committee, which
contained an attack on Master Hull
for the position he took at the Nation
al Grange meeting in Atlantic City,
was suppressed from the official pro.
ceedings.
The elimination of the fight came
this afternoon. The Baker people
had intended to make the sub-com-
mittee's report part of the execu-
tive committees report, but today con
sented to send IL in as q document,
thereby leaving 1t up to the Grange to
dispose OF. And the Grange did So
by adopting a motion by Glen Brem.
BILE OF Tecumseh to eliminate all ref
/ erence to Ii from the proceedings OF
the convention.
Thomas McNaughton, of Kent couH-
ty, leader of the element which OPP
posed the Atlantic City report, is jubi-
liant and said that he regarded the ac-
tion as complete vindication OF Mr..
Hull.
After spending several hours dis
cussing the question OF the tonnage
tax the Grange finally adopted a
clause recommending specific tax
under fiat rate, eliminating the
proposition for a sliding scale, which
had been vigorously fought for. This
is reafiirmation OF last years stand
on the subject.
The agricultural committee sub
mitted an exhaustive report empha-
sizing the need of agricultural educa-
ton and indorsing the work OF the
Michigan Agricultural college.
The Grange went on record as fav-
oring the parcels post, the direct
nomination Of United State ssenators,
the labelling OF cotton and wooden
goods to show the percentage of each
material in them, the amendment of
the primary election law and local
option in Michigan rather than state
wide prohibition. The plan for a cen
tral bank was opposed

Traverse, was elected gatekeeper,

The thing that convinced DR.. Cook
and his Eskimos that he reached the
pole was the fact that they attained
a point where their shadows at noon
and midnight were of equal length.
AT noon he says, 'the shadow rep

the sun, about II degrees. At six
o'clock ii was the same. At midnight
: IT. was the same At six o'clock IN
the morning it was the same. Let us
for the sake Of argument, grant that
all our instrumental observations are
wrong. Here is a condition of things
in which | still believe the eye with
out instrumental assistance places

every hour of the day and night"
DR. Cook described how his Two
Eskimos played with the shadow cir
cles. Here then" the doctor con

curacy at the pole, and unlike all

hallucinations of the religious ascetic.

SNYDER WILL BE TRIED
AGAIN ON GRAFT CHARGE
Jury Fails to Argue At Trial of Jack
son Man Accused Of Bribing
Armstronu

JACKSON, Mich, Dec 17-After
being out little over five hours, the
jury in the case of the state against
Fred Snyder returned TO the jury
room yesterday afternoon at 4:3O
o'clock, unable TO agree. Snyder was
indicted by the grand jury in the
spring of 1909 in connection with the
prison scandal and was charged with
paying SIS to Warden Allan n. Arm
strong TO influence him in disposing
of a garbage contract at the prison
Following the disagreement of the
jury consultation was held between
Deputy Attorney General McGill, Spe-
cial Counsel Backworth, Prosecutor
Reece and Judge Parkinson, which
resulted in the jury being discharged
The jury stood about even.
George Maino, local boilermaker
who was indicted by the grand jury,
is the next to be tried. Maino was
indicted for alleged bribery of Arm
strong to influence his official action
relative TO contract for number of
tanks at the prison. The entire after
noon was taken up I'm examining
jurors for this case The panel was
exhausted and talesmen were brought
in. When court adjourned at )
o'clock only five men had ben secur.
ed who were qualified to sit in the
case Armstrong is held at the jail
as witness in each of the cases.
IL is doubtful If any other grand
jury cases will be tried this term, as
the jurors are practically nonquali-
fed. IL the cases We're tried a spe.
cial venire would probably have TO
be called.
McGill announced last night that
the Snyder case would be retired at
the January term.

sentenced 10 eight years In prison and
to repay S4.000.000 OF the many mil
lions of which he robbed the people

Alberti's thefts are the biggest in
Denmarks history and involved thou
sands OF people, including scores OF
the most prominent financiers in the
country. even the king himself. Hun
dreds OF poor people were ruined
through his crookedness.
As minister of justice Alberti put
through many frauds against the gov
ernment, which were not discovered
until two years ago, at which time he
was arrested. 1t is generally believed
Alberti has many millions hidden

LAURIER GIVES REPLY TO
PLEA FOR RECIPROCITY
His Reply to 1000 Farmers is Disap-
pointins-Tariff Must Await Out
come of Negotiations.

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 1.-THE dele
cation of 1000 Canadian farmers pre-
sented its demands to the Canadian
government Friday and received It's
answer. AS a result there are a thou
sand rather disappointed strangers In
the Canadian capital. The reply OF the
government. made by the premier, Sir
Wlifrid Laurier did not come up TO
the expectations OF the delegation.
The farmers asked for the immedi-
ate revision OF the tariff downward:
Tor free trade on agricultural imple-
ments, cement, lumber and fish and
natural products of Canada and the
United States; for larger measure OF
preference TO Great Britain, and pro-
gram which would lead TO free trade
with England in ten years. and finally
for direct taxation
They asked for government owner
ship and control of terminal elevators;
for government-built and operated
railroad TO Hudson Bay: for the es-
tablishment by the government of
chilled meat industry in western Can
| ada; for amendments to the railway
| law which would tend to lower rates
and compel companies to pay for
/ stock killed on tracks under any cir
cumstances; for bill to facilitate. the
formation OF cooperative societies,
and that bank charters should not be
renewed for more than one year.
OF the tariff, the premier said Ii
would not be wise to make the ex-
tensive revision asked for until the
reciprocity negotiations now in pro-
gress with the United States were
concluded. The goal of the govern
ment was in the direction in which
farmers were moving, he added.
OF the elevator proposal, the prime
minister said that the remedy pro-
posed would not be effective, for IL
Canada owned the elevators on the
Great Lakes there would be still
trans-shipments at Port Colborne and
at Montreal, where mixing frauds
could be perpetrated. He continued:
IF we can so improve the car
riage of grain on the st. Lawrence
route that II will not be possible 70
divert grain TO American channels.
or TO break bulk in the trip to Mont
real, the problem will be solved.
This can only be done by the en-
largement Oh the Nelidnu duu ot-
