Failure Of Visitors To Use Rooms
Provided, Lemkie Rules.

The local lodge of Elks was given
judicial instruction as to how 1t
should have conducted the convention
held In Detroit last summer, by JUS
tice Lemkie, Tuesday morning.
The justice got his chance in the
case brought by Warren ]. Ander-
son, who prepared rooms for the
Kansas City lodge, and which were
ready, for which he asked ~ per day.
The contract for the rooms was made
by the local Elks. In the court room
were about dozen other people
ready to start similar cases II Mr..
Anderson were successful, the dam
ages asked aggregating $4,000. JUS
tice Lemkie held that the local Elks
were not to blame. because the Kan
sas City lodge failed to occupy the
rooms.
During the course of the trial the
justice took occasion to tell the Elks
how much better the big G. A. r.
convention was conducted In Detroit
some years ago.
You Dragged 80 much about the
crowd you were going to have that
you really scared people away, and
In that way, killed the goose which
laid the golden egg," Justice Lemkis
said. AT the time OF the G. A. r.
convention, the city entertained more
guests than the Elks had, and did II
better. There were 10000 of the old
veterans in line, and these men were
cared for In q manner that brought
credit to the city"

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 29.-
When the dismal courtroom In the
East Cambridge court house was
thrown open today for the second day
of the trial OF Hattie Leblanc for the
murder OF Clarence +. Glover, hun
dreds Of spectators crowded into the
available seats to hear the arguments
between attorneys on what may be
the most crucial point of the trial
This was whether the district attor
ney should be allowed TO make any
reference to Glover's alleged state
ment, Hattie Leblanc shot me-
Attorney Johnson, for the 17-year
old French-Canadian girl, who was
brought from her home In West All
chal. Cape Breton. by the wife
and made a favored servant in their
home, argued that these reported
words did not constitute dying
statement and hence should not be
referred to by the district attorney
as such. On the decision Of Judge
Daniel Bond, who is presiding at the
trial, hangs the introduction OF the
alleged statement.
The issue was raised at the close
of the first days session of the trial
According to statement at the
Glover will hearing, after Glover
wounded by two bullets and suffering
internal hemorrhage, had erawied tc
the door OF DR.. Couzen's hospital In
Waltham, from the laundry where he
had been shot, and had been placed
in bed, he said that Hattie Leblanc
had shot him at the laundry. and that
he did not know why she had done II
Attorney Johnson argued that the dis
trict attorney should not be permitted
in his opening statement to outline
any evidence which might be deemed
incompetent when offered.
Instead OF being convinced that he
was at the point OF death, Johnson
held that Glover believed he would
recover, not understanding the seri'
Gus character OF his injuries.
When court opened, Hattie Leblanc
was sitting near the prisoners cage
beside the prison matron and inter
prefer. The jury which had been
locked up for the night, was not re-
qu,red tao come to court this morning.

business men say that economic con-

money rates we're never more liberal
than at present when under ordinary
circumstances with holiday buying
and crop movements In progress, mon
ey should be tight.
According to the New York News
Bureau, orsan OF the street the reason
. for the unrest by big financiers Is be
cause the railroads and other large
corporations have decided to proceed
cautiously until the rate question and
perhaps one or two other important
matters are settled"
The executive committee of the
Railway Business association IN It's
report recently said that unless the
rate increases are granted, orders for
new equipment will be cancelled and
their plants forced to shut down. For
that reason. they appealed TO the pub
lie to agitate in favor Of the rate-rais-
ing. Attorneys for the shippers who
are protesting the rates. however, say
this Is an untenable position. They
say that II the commission rules
against the railroads the latter will
save money now being spent, but will
also have 10 go out Tor new business
which will necessitate increased
equipment.

/. DIES AF TER BOUT
Curley Gehrhardt Collapses From
0ver-Exertion and Dies Without
Regaining Consciousness.

LIMA. Nov. 2s.-Curley Gehrhardt,
the Detroit lightweight boxer. who
collapsed last night after ten rounds
with Jack McHenry before the Allen
A. c., died today at the local hospital
Gehrhardt did not receive Knockout
blow but collapsed after the bout evil
IDENTIFY from being In an UNFIT condi-
tion TO stand the strain Of the fight.
For hours he was kept alive only by
artificial respiration and failed to re-
cover consciousness. A cerebral
hemorrhage was the direct cause Of
his death.
Referee Charles Maxwell, Time
keeper Charles Ladden, Mr.. Canavon
OF Detroit, and William Rocks of In
dianapolis, are held at the police
station. awaiting the outcome OF the
coroner's inquest.
Curley Gherhardt was one Of the best
known Of the younger boxers about
Detroit He had appeared at Windsor
number OF times and had boxed at
various shows given In surrounding
cities. Gherhardts given name was
Leo. although boxing fans here knew
him solely as Curley
He was born May 16, 1890, and had
lived here all his life. He resided
with his parents at Woodmere. WILL
lam Mcintosh accompanied him to
Lima, and telegraphed friends here
that Gherhardt died at IL o'clock this
morning.
In a card sent to George Mcintosh
Sunday, from Lima, Gherhardt said
he weighed 1872 pounds and was con.
fident of winning. He was we'll
trained, having worked several weeks
In preparation for the bout. Curley
never shirked the preliminaries. 1t
is thought here that his death must
have been due to some sudden weak
ening of the heart as he was ready fo'
hard bout from all outward indica-
tions when he left Detroit.
A peculiar incident In connection
with his death was the fact that this
bout had been scheduled originally
for Nov. 10, but was postponed be-
cause a ministerial convention was to
meet In Lima on that date, and the
boxing promoters did not wish to- run
q counter attraction In the shape OF
fight.
Gehrhardt was considerably better
educated than most Of the youngsters
who break into the prize ring. and he
had no end of friends in Detroit and
vicinity. william Mcintosh had
planned a busy winter for him, and
he was scheduled for an early appear
ance at Windsor.
The body will be brought to Detroit
for burial. A father and mother sur
yive, Leo being the only son.
