was on the books for four years and
was never enforced until Just before

that have stopped to take on or let

that this will apply only on the wide

W0MAN's DEATH
Look Into Case of Mrs. Bertha
Lothamer, Who Loses Life in
Burning Home.

Some dogs romping In the home OF
Mrs. Bertha Lothamer, No. SIS Cam
eron-ave., are thought to have been
responsible for IRE, m which Mrs.
Lothamer was burned to death, about
1880 o'clock, Monday morning. Two
dogs also were burned to death. There
are some circumstances in connection
with the matter that the police believe
should be investigated. and two detec-
tives have been assigned to the case.
Patrolman Maddern, OF the
Bethune-ave. station, accompanied by
Fred Hunsacker, nephew OF Mrs
Lothamer, who made his home with
the aunt. went to a bakeshop In the
vicinity OF the house where the trag-
edy occurred, Monday noon, to inyes-
tigate a rumor bearing on the Theory
of foul play.
Coroner Burgess, who Investigated
the accident, believes that one of the
dogs bumped against table and
knocked a lamp from It, The fire
spread rapidly and when Mrs. Lotha-
mer awoke, the place was in flames
She made a desperate effort to escape,
but every avenue Of egress was cut of
by wall of flame. Her night clothes
were burned off her and her body
scorched. She soon succumbed to fire
and smoke, the coroner being of the
opinion that suffocation caused her to
collapse.
Hunsacker was not at home when
the fire started. He went out in the
afternoon and returned home on the
car that left the city hall at 1880 a. m.
When he arrived, the house was de-
stroyed and his aunt was dead
Mrs. Lothamer was a widow and
was so years old. The damage to the
house is estimated at $1,000.

OSBORN MUST
SUCCEED HIMSELF
Sault Ste. Marie News Says People
Will Insist That Governor Serve
Another Term.

SAULT STE. MARIE, June H.
The note struck by Regent Benjamin
s. Hanchett In his ringing indorse-
ment OF Governor Osborn and the
compulsion which will be put upon
him to accept a second term finds a
ready echo throughout Michigan, from
north TO south, and from east to west
says the Sault Ste. Marie News.
No man who ever occupied the execu-
tive office in Lansing tried less to
create sentiment favorable to his re-
election than Chase s. Osborn, and
none ever succeeded so well in accom-
plishing that very thing. Not sin
gle thought still less single act, has
been INDUCED In by the governor to
capture popular support. and yet each
official act simply serves to more
firmly attach the people OF Michigan
to him. AS Regent Hanchett very
aptly puts II, the fact that Governor
Osborn has said he does not desire an
other two years in office will not pre-
vent the people of Michigan from in
sisting that he hold Office for second
term.
THAT Is precisely what we expect to
see come about. We know the gen.
uineness OF the governors feelings
against accepting a second term, We
thoroughly realize he will not In any
sense be candidate for denomination.
but we know equally well that despite
Governor Osborn's reluctance to make
further sacrifices OF his time. means
and energy In the public service, the
people will insistently demand that he
serve them for a further period of two
years as the helmsman OF the good
ship of state.
I'm few short months Governor
Osborn has lifted Michigan out OF the
list of trailers among the states, has
put her definitely and, we hope, per-
manently, In the progressive column
and has reflected courageously and
with brilliancy the true genius Of her
people. Michigan after years OF ef-
fort has found worthy spokesman
and defender In her aspirations for
higher citizenship and better govern
ment, and she will not let him go with
but two years of service. The need
OF such leadership Is too great and far
too little can be accomplished In CON.
structive legislation or executive work
In twenty.four months.
Chase Osborn will not be a candi-
date for a second term. He won't
have to be. The people have already
made him their candidate, their man
date is upon him, and he will not be
permitted to exercise his veto power.

There was an evident determination
from the start to turn down the ap-
