!: HH: TOTEM YEARS
Jealousy and Liquor Responsible for
Attempt To Murder Wife Judge
Phelan Says.

William III. Sharpe, convicted In
Judge Phelan's court OF shooting his
wife with intent to kill her last July,
was sentenced 10 from Ave TO 10 years
in Jackson prison. Wednesday morn
ing.
what mind can fathom the Daneful
influence OF whisky and jealousy on
the human soul?@ said Judge Phelan.
In passing sentence. Especially Is
this true when the liquor is sought
and used to excess TO cause one To
forget the blighting effect OF jealousy.
The law must be upheld. | could
give you life for what you have done,
but after investigation, | came 70 the
conclusion that there are some miti-
eating circumstances IN your case.
Il learned that you have been a
kind and indulgent father TO your
boys. IL is TOO bad that In your jealous
rage, you surrendered yourself to
drink. | am sorry also that you at
tempted 10 blacken your wifes char
acter Even though she was what you
in your mind pictured her. she Is the
mother Of your children.
III would have been far more bon
orable 10 leave her TO the error o. her
ways than to brutally assault her.
You should have left her TO her Gre
ator rather than assume TO be her ex-
ecutioner'
The Judge said he would try to have
paroled at the expiration of
the minimum sentence.

MUNICIPAL PLAN
Would Have City Take Over All Park
Privileges Except Ponies-Will
Cooperate With Council.

II have no desire, and certainly had
no intention To get into fuss with
the council over the question OF let
ting the privileges on Belle Isle" said
Park Commissioner Myrtle p. Hurlbut
meekly, Wednesday morning. "As far
as / am concerned. there is no fuss.
| am trying to run the parks the way
the people want them run, and I will
cooperate with the council In any
thing IL sees fit TO do"
will you advertise for bids for the
casino and other privileges was
asked.
III the council really wishes me TO
do that, yes. But would be in favor.
and think II should have been done
some years ago, OF this department
taking over the privileges, all except
the ponies, which are used for only a
short time each year. and running
them at the lowest possible rates. l
think that would be the best solution
OF the question.
II think the kicking on the casino
service under the present management
has been largely exaggerated. II is
the casino one day when | heard a
man kicking on the chicken that had
been served him. He complained that
IL was not fit to eat. | called two or
three other patrons over and asked
them tn test the chicken. They pro-
nounced Ii as good chicken as they
had ever tasted. The kicker was SIM
ply bilious.
"Of course, there are many things
10 be considered IL the city takes over
the privileges. IL will take money TO
get the plan started and that will have
TO go into the budget. but the privi-
leges would soon be self-sustaining
Then II would have to be determined
just how far the city wants TO go In
the matter OF service. Shall the menu
be confined to a few simple articles
like sandwiches, coffee and soup. or
shall provision be made for the man
who wants a regular meal of steak, po-
tatoes and fancy dishes? These are
matters that must all be taken into

WATER BOARD MEMBERS
LOBBY FOR BOND ISSUE
Also Want the Legislature to Give

to Condemnation.
(Erom a star Correspondent


LANSING, Mich, Jan. lS.-Several
members of the Detroit board OF wa
ter commissioners were In Lansing
yesterday to meet the members OF the
Wayne delegation and other lesisla.
tors regarding a bill to empower the
board to issue 100000 additional
bonds for extending the system. They
also wish some slight amendments
made to the law regarding the con-
demnation of property for water works
purposes. A year or SO ago. when the
board undertook TO condemn some
property for addition to the water
works property on Jefferson-ave., two
defects were found. which defeated
the project and forced the board to
take other means. One was as to
the boards power to declare the ne.
cessity OF condemnation when the
property was for the departments
benefit, and the other was In the
wording of the oath.
The board met about 25 members
of both houses in one OF the commit

sHERIFFs ASK LEGISLATION
AGAINST TwO-TERM LIMIT
Rep. oppenborn's Bill Intended to
Save Lives Of Both Deer
and Hunters.
(From a staff Correspondent

(From a STAFF correspondent.)
LANSING, Mich, Jan. 1S.-Rep.
Stewart, OF Kent county, Is sponsor
for resolution for a constitutional
amendment introduced yesterday at
the request of the state association OF
sheriffs. The bill would make IL pos
sible for sheriffs TO hold Office more
than two consecutive terms. Ii also
prohibits a sheriff holding any other
Office at the same time.
Rep. c. A. Oppenborn introduced a
bill to protect deer. but incidentally
to protect human life In the deer sea-
son. The bill is to prohibit the shoot
ing OF female deer In Michigan for Ave
years, under a penalty Of $500 fine.
One idea of the Trainer or the bill is
that a hunter will be forced TO get
near enough to an animal to dis
tinguish whether II Is q buck or a doe,
and that II this is done, he Ia not apt
to shoot a fellow hunter by mistake
for wild animal.
Rep. Young. of Big Rapids. and Rep.
Copley, of Detroit. jointly introduced
a bill yesterday which provides that
the sheriff Of each county shall APP
point ut least one representative OF
any duly incorporated humane society
as a special deputy to enforce the
humane laws. The sheriff In not to
be responsible for the acts of such
deputy, nor Is he obliged to put him
on the pay roll.
Senator Freeman introduced bill
to make the following appropriations
for the maintenance Of the state san
atorium at Howell: For deficiency In
the appropriation for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1905. s2,49s; for de-
ficiency In the appropriation for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1910.
$4,058; for deficiency In year ending
Dec. 81, 1910, s2.759.
Senator Miller introduced bill TO
provide $4,000 annually for the pur-
chase OF books and other material for
the Michigan State Library, and the
same amount annually for books and
equipments for the Michigan travelling
libraries.
Senator James bill providing for
the popular election Of inspectors or
copper mines, who formerly have
been appointed by the board OF super
visors. was reported out by the SEN
ate committee on mines and minerals
yesterday, and was approved unani-
mously by the committee OF the
whole, after one or two minor changes
had been made regarding the manner
of paying the inspectors. This bill
is disapproved by the mining company
officials. who previously have been
able 10 name almost any one they
wished for mine inspectors.

his seat in a 40,O00-Republican ma
jority state!
Gov. West Is some man, but that IL
incidental. What he really Is, Is some
thing vastly bigger. He Is the typo
OF the New Official; the type that Ore
gon is sending to the legislature, max
ing governors OF; the initiative and
referendum type that regards public
office as a chance to do something
big for the people. The old type
the party type, the convention, eau
Gus, lobbyist type-has passed In Ore
gon.
"A governor is not an orator or a
teller of yarns, or an entertainer, or
q handy letter writer-he Is the man
with the biggest chance in the state
TO do something worth while" That's
Oswald West.
II don't want to be governor again.
do want to do things that will help
this state for the next generation"
That is also West
West is a young man. But he is TO
kid glove" reformer, idealist or bras'
gard. He knows politics.
He has been land agent and rail
road commissioner. As land agent he
unearthed fraud and devised and
worked through a hostile legislature
one OF the strongest land codes in
the country. They don't steal lands
I'm Oregon any more.
He served OH the tax commission
and he was instrumental In getting
drawn up and passed the best tax
code In the west.
As railroad commissioner he walked
over about every mile OF track in the
state, learned everything from rotten
ties to dirty stations. from tax dodg.
ers to crooked claim agents-and
made his knowledge count.
He helped put into effect a water
code that is a model and that gives
the settler a chance for his life with.
out going to ten years law fight
with every big irrigation company
that wants TO gobble a stream.
West most emphatically Is not a
dreamer. He's a small tornado
with convictions. He Is a fighter
with the courage Of these convictions.
At first the regulars" thought they
were going 20 organize the legislature
and bust some OF Vests reform lev.
