port that considerable Of the property
surrounding the proposed site of the

River-ave. and the Boulevard, is own
ed by relatives OF Supt. of Schools

school would naturally enhance the
value of this property, which is large

school

that some OF the surrounding proper
ty is owned by Secretary of State
Martindale. brother OF the superin-
tendent.
This story was known to many OF
the estimators when the item for the

Thursday night, but no reference was
made to IL and ii was not given seri-
Gus consideration by any OF the 'esti-
majors. apparently, inasmuch as II

With the estimators practically
through with their work, the city
tax rate for 1911 is calculated TO be
1881, the highest in the city's his
tory.
Mayor Thompson, vino has fought
for a low tax rate, Is aroused over the
outlook and declares that unless a
reduction Of nearly 81 ,000,000 is made.
the tax levy will be invalidated. In
addition TO budget OF S7,745,OOO,
there are bonds in lieu OF taxation,
amounting TO $S56,000, making a total
OF $S,33O0O0. The mayor contends
that the most that the estimators can
appropriate under the law is $7,44O,-
600, or two per cent of the assessed
valuation OF 1910. and that, conse-
quently about 100000 must be Topped
off before the tax levy can be en-

Federation Of Women's Clubs Ao-

ton Into Politics and Adopts
Resolution OF Censure.
Rumpus Is Sequel of School Board
Campaign-Friends Make Gallant
But Vain Defense.

The activity of Mrs. +. G. Osborn
spectors was the cause of the most
bitter controversy the Detroit Fed
Grafton OF Women's clubs has ever
known, in the annual meeting, FRI
day, in the Century building. Mrs.
Osborn was not present.
The verbal fireworks were precipi-
tated when the annual report of the
federations' officers and executives
board was read and a paragraph was
found to be included, censuring Mrs.
Osborn for the manner in which
she dragged politics into the fedora
ton and the federation into politics.
during the recent election and the
unwarranted use of the federation'a|
name and influence to further her in
dividual efforts" There was no mis-
taking these words and lot more.
Up jumped several of Mrs. Os-
born's friends, eager to come to her
defense and order was restored with,
some difficulty by the placid and pa.
tient presiding officer, Mrs. George
G. Caron.
Mrs. Homer z. Stafford made an.
able defense of Mrs. Osborn, back
ing up her statements with newspa-
per clippings and other data regard
ing the part taken by the lady in tho
elections. Mrs. Stafford declared that
Mrs. Osborn had not used her club,
affiliations or the name of the feder-
alton In anyway whatsoever as lev
erage for her campaign efforts
against the school board machine.
Mrs. Stafford said she had every limo
printed in the public press during the
election which had any bearing or
reference TO Mrs. Osborn. to back
up her words of defense of her
friend
A letter was read from the wo-
mans Historical club, OF which Mrs.
Osborn is member. demanding that
the censure voiced by the federation
officers be expunged from the min
utes. This caused another wrangle
which threatened to send many u
the ladies' into lifelong enmity. Exz
plantations from both sides were de-
manded, and given, but, as each
speaker was given the floor, the at
1osphere, instead OF dLearina be-
came denser and the war of words
might have gone on Indefinitely with
regulations for fairness, veracity and
loyalty torn TO shreds. had not Mrs.

James Champagne, who was on

.fciaI report was finally taken, IL
stood so TO 26, that the censure OK
Mrs. Osborn stand and that she be
asked by the federation as a body
to make q public statement through
the press, and, in the form of let
ter to the federation, stating that the
organization was in no wise respon
sible for any of her actions during
the recent campaign and that Ii did
not stand behind her, in the politi-
cal arena In the acrid interchange
of words during the discussion OF the
matter from the floor, Mrs. Osborn
was taken severely TO task for the
alleged use OF a private letter OF the
civic committee OF the federation, OF
which she was formerly chairman,
as campaign literature, the statement
being made that she had committed
a serious breach of club etiquette X
nothing worse.
The Mrs. Osborn matter occupied
two and a half hours, and the excited
clubwomen decided upon luncheon
before asking the tellers TO count the
ballots cast by the delegates for Of
fcers for the ensuing year. The slate
pTescated was as follows: President.
Mrs. George-G. Caron; yice-president,
Mrs. A. II. AshDHash;- second vice

cording secretary. Mrs. George l. Sea-

Frank Kennedy: treasurer. Mrs. David
Thompson and Mrs. r. L. Booth. both
names being presented for balloting.
n nrecedent is followed this slate
viii 60 through. but because OF the
factions developed over the Mrs. Os-
born controversy, there may be some
surprises. say the wiseacres among
the federation membership.
