for NJ PaoIi asserts that the monarch

Roumanian girl who later became Baron

the time the king met the girl she was
twenty-five and he sixty-five.

I'm AFTER FRESH AIR." SAYS
GOV. OSBORN AT MARQUETTE
Rumor is Persistent That He Went
North TO Hear Convict Thomp-
son on Prison Plot.

MARQUETTE, Mich, March S.
What are you here for governor?
the newspapermen shot at Governor
Osborn as the stepped off a train this
morning.
IL am after a breath of this good
Lake Superior air." was his reply, nor
were the newspapermen able to get
him to admit that he had any other
purpose in view.
He was met by Warden Russell and
was driven directly to the prison,
where the house committee continues
its sessions.
The best bet on why the governor Is
in Marquette Is that he Is here to
hear Thompson. one Of the recent
transfers from Jackson, make a clean
breast OF the Jackson prison dynamit-
ing plot. This cannot be verified, but
1t is generally believed to be his mis-
sion.
Warden Russell and the members
OF the legislative committee have made
some important disclosures in the
course of their work. IL is believed the
whole story OF the Jackson plot may
be shown up. The committee today
heard officers OF the Marquette prison,
before going into session with the gov
ernor. He will not get away until
Thursday and may stay over until Fri
day.

HALLY AND CAHILL
TO COMBINE IDEAS
They Are Agreed on Plan To Change
Home Rule Law Except on One or
Two Points.
(From a star Correspondent }

LANSING, Mich, March S.-Senti
ment among senators and represents
tives as reflected in questions to city
representatives at the joint commit
tee hearing on the home rule law
amendments, today seemed to favor
giving the cities the power of amend.
ing the charters piecemeal as provid.
ed in bill by Corporation Counsel
Hally, and in the proposed amend
ments to the home rule law.
Mr.. Hally and Judge Cahill, of Ian
sing, who have separate bills amend.
ing the home rule law, told the com
mittee they we're agreed except on
one or two points, and probably only
one set of amendments will go in.
Both provide for the initiative and re-
call. Judge Cahill would remove the
governors veto on amendments.
Hally would not. Cahill also had
some amendments as to justice courts.
Hinton K. Spalding, who represent
ed Hudson ct al, In fighting the muni'
cipal ownership question, contended
that the decision in the Hudson case
declared .piecemeal amendments be

constitutional.

CITIZENSHIP IN .
HEAVEN THE GOAL
Fealty To God the Only Preparation
SAYS Rev C. H. Beale in
MONDAY Service.

Fealty to country and fealty TO God
were compared by the Rev. Charles
H. Beale, of Milwaukee, In his address
in the Detroit opera house, Wednes-
day, in the MONDAY Lenten service.
''As the family Is greater than the
individual, the state greater than the
city, the nation greater than the state,
humanity greater than the nation, SO
is the kingdom of God greater than
all OF these" said DR.. Beale. The
true American citizen does not como
from this little town or that great
state but from the entire country ana
his country Is the entire universe.
Our real patriotism Is not In our
home town, our state, but in Wash
ington, the capital of the nation. and
I'm the flag which flies not over our
own doorstep, but over the entire
country.
1--WE may migrate from one city TO
another or from one state to another
but we are none the less citizens OF
the whole country. IL is q fact that
an American citizen can make himself
a home in any spot on the globe.
With such worldly citizenship should
we not prepare for our spiritual citi-
zenship In the kingdom OF God? When
our eyes close upon earth we migrate
to another world and we should have
our citizenship papers in such order
that we cannot be turned back, can
not be thrust out, cannot be consid-
cred an alien. charge you, then,
Seek We the kingdom of God first, and
IL will come last, Also

MICHIGAN PAIR
NAbbED AS TRAIN
ROBBERS
Victor M. Clore and Bryan 0'Hara,
Of Palms, Accused of Daring JOB
On Southern Pacific, in Which
Man Was Killed.
Arrests Follow Chance Clue Picked
Up by Pinkerton Detective-Sus-
poets Shadowed Long Time.

Shadowed night and day by Pinker-
ton detectives from far OF Wyoming to
Detroit, two Michigan men are now
under arrest for one OF the most dar-
ing train robberies OF modern days.
They are Victor NJ. Clore and Bryan
O'Hara, 26 and 80 years old, respec-
lively, both OF Palms, Mich. Clore Is
held In Mt Clemens and O'Hara In
Sandusky, Sanilac county.
In the hold-up, one man was shot
to death and another wounded. The
loot consisted OF $1,400 In cash and
81, 900 in jewels. The robbery occur
ed IL miles out of Ogden, Utah, on the
Southern Pacific, on the night OF Jan.
2. Since that time, Pinkerton men
have been on the trail of the bandits.
II was a matter OF chance that the
capture was made. The morning fol-
lowing the robbery. the Pinkerton men
were called I'm aud eight detectives
went OH the trail But 1t remained
for another officer. who was not de-
tailed on the case, to get the clue that
resulted In the arrest OF the pair.
This detective was riding ON train,
when his attention was attracted by
couple of men. who appeared 10 De
roughing Ii about the country. They
seemed to have plenty OF money. This
detective, of course, knew about the
train robbery. He learned that the
rair had first-class tickers 10 Detroit.
He notified his Office and from then
on the shadowing process was begun.
The two men have been around De-
troit for several weeks. Night and
day they have been followed. Every
move has been observed. They had
intended purchasing a saloon here. but
could not get location that suited
them. They spent their money freely.
In the early part of their stay here,
both men tried to get positions on the
ID. u. r., but failed 90 qualify. Tues
day, CIore went to Warren, Mich, to
meet HIS father, with view TO pur-
chasing farm. He was trailed there
by Pinkerton man. In n barroom OF
that town. he was placed under arrest.
Sheriff Harriss, OF Mt. Clemens. and
Under-Sheriff Matthews then took him
to the jail in Mt. Clemens.
O'Hara went 20 Deckerville, where
he, likewise, was shadowed and ar
rested. He is held in the jail In San
dusky, Sanilac county.
Engineer Rouse and Conductor Mid

were brought on here by the Pinker-
ton men and played an important part
in the shadowing process. Both
trainmen have identified the pair as
the bandits who held up the train. 1t
was on the strength OF this identified
ton that the arrests we're made.
Both men deny that they were i'm

however, that they were in that sec

!. CLA|MsIE CHARGE
IS SUSTAINED
Conviction Of Those Indicted in Land
Fraud Gases Would Mean Confsca-
tion of All Holdings, Say
Court Officials.
Over 800 People Are interested, Some
of Whom Have Paid
In Money.

The 800 or more persons interested
In the Michigan-Alaska Development
Co., stand to lose not only their
claims but whatever money they have
invested as well, IL the government Is
successful In it's prosecution OF the
seven men indicted last Monday In
connection with the alleged Alaska
coal land frauds.
At least, that is the way the local
officials size up the situation. If, as
the government claims, the members
of the company entered into a con-
spiracy to deprive the government OF
the lands, naturally they would have
no claim to them after the case had
been disposed of, Notwithstanding the
fact that the government had accept
ed money on seven of the claims, 1T
is contended.
There is a question even as to
whether the government would be
obliged TO return the money thus paid
in, IL the indictments are sustained,
for the governments contention is
that the whole scheme Is tainted with
fraud.
The local officials assert that they
have a strong case against the de-
PENDANTS and point out that they had
been warned in various ways that
they had no right to acquire the lands
in the manner in which they were
acquired. The defendants, on the
other hand, insist that their transac-
tions we're all open and above board;
that their plans were freely exploited
in the papers and that the govern
ment's acceptance Of their money for
some of the claims. practically
amounted to approval OF their
methods.
The stockholders of the company
have already put up about $4,000 for
the purchase of a small railroad In
Alaska, and for improvements Of vari-
Gus sorts. II the government wins
out, the chances are that these prop.
critics will be taken over BY Uncle
Sam and the stockholders will have
nothing to show for their money.
