BREAKS THROUGH
ICE AND BROWNS
Peter Richards, Ford Village, Loses
Life While Fshing-Two Com.
panions Have Close Call.

Peter Richards, "a years old, son
or +. X. Richards, president OF Ford
village, was drowned by breaking
through the ice on Ecorse creek, near
the Peninsular Salt block, about .
o'clock Friday night. H. f. Marsh,
aged 25, who tried to rescue Richards,
almost lost his life. He became com.
pletely exhausted by his struggles
and long period In the Icy water. He
was caught by the hair of the head by
Orien Sable, the third member OF the
party, just as he was disappearing
and hauled onto solid ice. Both Marsh
and Sable were almost overcome by
exhaustion. They cried for help and
people living in the neighborhood re-
sponded with restoratives.
Marshal lie Blanc and others made
an immediate search for the body OF
Richards, but failed TO locate II. II
was found Saturday morning. how
ever.
Richards, Marsh and Sable went out
on the ice to fish. After making a
hole in the ice, Richards made catch
and after taking the fish from his
hook, started to hop around the Ice
to get warm. The ice cracked be-
meath him, and In an instant he was
fioundering In the water. Marsh, who
was near him, tried hard to save
him. but was drawn into the water
himself, and only the timely arrival
of Sable prevented him from drown
ing.

WITH BEST WISHES,
FROM MARCUS
Pollasky Offers the State $4,000
Worth of Bonds, But Principally
A Lawsuit.

LANSING, MICH, Feb. 18.-That
Marcus Pollasky is trying to hand
the state a s1,QQ0,oo0 lemon, and that
the governor may be compelled Under
a statute to accept 1t and plunge the
state into litigation with a sister
state, is the latest development OF
the ostensible philanthropy OF the pic
turesque promoter the first OF the
week
Pollasky offered to give 100000
In worcestershire bonds for the bene-
At of the University of Michigan. II
was suspected from the first that the
bonds were worthless or so depreciat-
ed as to be a drug on the market,
and that they were merely being CIV
en- to Michigan for the sake Of having
an apparent value given To them In
the market by the acceptance. 1t
now appears that the bonds were Is
sued by the state of North Carolina
and were repudiated by the state
which issued them, and that Michigan
would receive nothing but law suit.
At the same time, a statute OF 1901
has been dug up which compels the
governor OF the state to accept any
gifts which are made and to take
steps to collect on them.
1. this law Is construed to be man.
datory, steps will probably be taken
at once to repeal II.
communication from Providence,
r. l.. shows how Rhode Island nearly
fell victim to the same plot. A bill
was rushed through on the last day
Of the legislature OF 1909, worded
much as the Michigan law Is. At the
mex, session OF the legislature, Gov.
Poihier notified the senate that about
100000 worth Of bonds had been CIV
en- the state, accepted by him and
turned over to the state treasury.
The day following this announcement.
a Eli was introduced and rushed
through, repeating the law, and the
gift was repudiated.
IL Is probable that the Michigan law
VIII be repealei the same way. The
Rhode Island law was pushed through
by some attorneys interested In the
bonds. Tho history OF the Michigan
law has not been learned.
The bonds are part OF an issue
which North Carolina has repudiated
because of alleged fraud. II has been
learned that similar issue was offer
ed New York some time ago, and re-
furnd by Gov. Hughes.
Marcus Pollasky addressed the leg
islature here yesterday. He confined

GOVERNOR STANDS PAT.
Tells Railroads He Was Correctly
Quoted In Speech Before Tax
Commission.


LANSING, Mich, Feb. sc. M.
Hays, president of the Grand Trunk
system. received little satisfaction
when he wrote to Gov Osborn asking
him to deny published report Of
his talk before the state tax commits
sion. in which he said that railroads
ought to be taxed higher than they
are, and suggested that IL the Grand
Trunk wanted to be fair, as its rep
resentative stated, ii could hand over
its special charter for the ID. @. H.
& M,
President Hays told the governor
that as the matter OF the ID. G. H. &
M. charter had been thrashed out In
the courts and decided in favor Of
the railroads, there could be no ques-
ton as to the rights Of the company
to special privileges under 1t. He add
ed that railroads ought not to be tax
ed any higher In proportion than
farm property.
Gov. Osborn wrote back that he
had been properly quoted, that he
did not mean to convey the idea that
railroads necessarily must pay more
taxes than at present, but that they
ought to pay more than farmers pay,
because exploiting corporations should
pay more taxes than producing In
dividuals, and corporations which are
granted special privileges and the
members of which are given special
immunity from certain debts, should
pay more than individuals and part
ners who are not immune.
Incidentally, the governor said that
he had not liked the stories that have
been published that the railroads
would go in and contest the taxes of
Michigan.
