SENSATION SPRUNG
IN DAMAGE CASE
Doctor Testifies That Woman Plain
tiff Pleaded With Him To Change
Affidavit As To Ailment.

Somewhat of a sensation was oc'
casloned in Judge Hosmer's court,
Tuesday morning. by the testimony OF
Dr. William Harper, of No. 62l Dix
ave, in the second trial OF the Gaze
OF Elizabeth Baisch against the city
OF Detroit. DR. Harper testified that
the plaintiff had entreated him and Of
fered TO pay him literally II he
would change an affidavit he had
made, and swear that he had never
treated her for spinal trouble.
Mrs. Baisch was injured in 1901
by q fall on defective sidewalk.
At the first trial she was awarded
heavy damages against the city, but
d new trial was granted on the
strength OF newly-discovered evidence.
This consisted of an affidavit from
DR.. Harper TO the effect that he had
treated Mrs. Baisch for spinal
trouble before her injury, while on
the stand she testified that she had
never been i'll before and was in per
feet health at the time of the acct.
dent.
Mrs. Baisch visited DR.. Harper
Office and tried to induce him ~
change this affidavit, he testified. On
one OF these visits the doctor had
secreted in an adjoining room, Detec
tive McCarty and a stenographer, and
the entire conversation was taken
down. In this conversation Mrs
Baisch begged of the doctor TO change
his affidavit and say that it was no;
spinal trouble she was suffering
from, but something else. She asked
DIR. Harper TO make the excuse thai
he had been too hasty and had made
a mistake in his affidavit. Then she
entreated him not to tell OF her Wis
it ard OF her effort to induce him tc
change his affidavit. Mrs. Baisch
claimed at that time that she had
been treating with a DR.. Smith fol
catarrh, and she wanted DR.. Harper
to say that 1t was not spinal trouble
she had, but catarrh, so as to agree
with DR.. Smith.
The case will probably go to the
jury, Tuesday afternoon.

Y. M. C. A. TO EXPAND.
Five Stories Will Be Added to the
Boys Department.

To provide additional dormitories,
the directors of the Y. NJ. C.. A. have
decided to add five more stories to the
boys building, which really Is a part
of the main structure. This will make
the entire building OF uniform hight.
All the additional room will be used
for sleeping rooms, the number Of
which will be increased from 100 to
400. The cost will be about 100000.
The money will be raised by subscrib-
lions and plans for a campaign are
now being laid out. e.
The present accommodations are
wholly insufficient to meet the de-
mands. The 100 rooms now available
are always filled and there is wait
ing list of about 800. The rooms are
rented to young men and boys who
have no other home and thus they are
brought into close contact with the
institution and its work.

years ago, he was connected with the
Associated Press here. After long

to Atlanta, Ga.
He served there for some time and
then returned north, stopping In Chi
.caso. After serving on the Associated
Press there for short time, he left
that service and joined the stan OF
the Chicago Journal.
Mr.. ,McFarlan was political report
er OF merit, having made an enyiable
reputation for himself In that line OF
endeayor. He was at all times genial
and cheerful and these qualities made

MALTA VITA COMPANY IS

Battle Creek Food Concern Is In Fed

erai Court, Fighting Bank
ruptcy Proceedings.
Changing styles In breakfast foods
were blamed for the financial trou-
bles OF the Malta Vita Pure Food Co,
of Battle Creek, by H. w. Morgan
thaler, OF Cincinnati, a stakeholder. In
bankruptcy proceedings in the United
States court, Tuesday morning.
A petition to have the Malta Vita
company adjudicated bankrupt was
filed by the Hooking Valley Coal Co.
and other creditors, and is being con-
tested.
Morganthaler blamed the mis-.
fortunes of the company largely to the
fact that the patrons of the Battle
Creek food products have been edu-
Gated away from wheat foods. Com
foods are the latest fashion, according
TO him, and II Is difficult TO put the
whittier grain on the market.
Morganthaler said that the concern
was Incorporated first at $5,000,000.
but that 1t was reorganized at $600.O00.
The firm had two good years, 1905 and
1906. but since that time has not made
money.
One of the handicaps under which 1t
labcred was that the factory was IN
the so-called hoodoo district OF Battle
Creek. There are several vacant fac
tory buildings in the district, Morgan
thaler said, and 1t is almost impossible
for a concern To succeed there. The
plant in Toronto was recently sold
for 100000, and the company now has
about $4,000. I'm its listed capital
stock, good will is put down at $780,
600, but Morganthaler said that this
was subject to about 80 per cent dis
count There are also many bad debts.
The hearing was continued.
