Senate 70 Hear Case

Lansing, April 19.-By a vote of sew
enty-seven to nineteen, the house late
yesterday afternoon adopted a resolu-
tion introduced by Representative
Straight. calling for the impeachment
Of James Russell, warden of Mar
ouette prison. rlJSfWUUy
The senate was notified of the
houses action and in executive ses-
sion later considered the matter and
made arrangements for a meeting on
May 3, the day after the session closes.
In the executive session IL was decided
that the only way the impeachment
proceedings could be held was to
bring all the evidence and witnesses
to the capitol Inasmuch as many con-
victs will have to be heard the affair
has resolved itself into a perplexing
problem Most of the senators were
in favor of journeying to Marquette for
the trial, but il was found that the
law does not permit such action.

Two.cent Bill Passes.

Lansing, April 19.-Senators James
and Fowle, pitted against Senator
Moriarty. won their fight for two-cent
railroad fares in the upper peninsula
yesterday afternoon. After the greater
part Of the session had been devoted
TO warm discussion over the Lucas
Symonds bill, an amendment offered
by Mr.. Moriarty. fixing the rate at two
and one-half cents, was voted down.
the count being fifteen for and sixteen
against IL.
Although Governor Osborn. in his
message, advocated rate OF two and
one-half cents, IL Is practically cer-
tain he will not interfere with the
action of the legislature. This means
that railroads operating in the upper
peninsula will be brought under the
same regulations, so far as rates are
concerned, as the lower Michigan
lines.

BOND ISSUE OF
MUCH INTEREST
QUESTION BEING INVESTIGATED
BY LAURIUM ATTORNEY AND
MAY BE SUBMITTED
TO VOTE.

The question of bonding the village
Of Laurium for a SUM sufficient to
meet the present outstanding indebt-
edness and provide working fund
for contemplated improvements was
considered in an informal manner at
the first working session OF the new
administration yesterday afternoon. A.
Il. Petermann, the newly appointed
village attorney is now investigating
the situation from a legal standpoint
and probably ,Hilh be ready to make a
report at an early meeting. 1t is like
ly that action will be taken at once so
that the question may be submitted to
the voters at an early date and final
ly disposed of in time for the improve
ments to be udertaken this summer.
The situation was freely discussed
by a number of the new administra-
ton today He stated that owing to
the condition of the treasury IL is sim
ply impossible to make an improve
ment or to do anything more than the
routine work unless il is known where
revenue is coming from. At the pres
ent time, debts of the village outside
OF the bonded Indebtedness amount to
abount $22,5OO. The bonds which must
be retired this year, according to the
sinking fund arrangement amount to
$15,050, making a total of S37,550, with
out any of the current bills being paid.
AS the total income received from
taxes, probably will not exceed S55,OO0,
and as the current monthly expenses
average from $3,500 TO $4,000. 1t will
be seen that the revenue for the year
will not be sufficient to meet all Of
paid as is proposed.
Numerous improvements have been
suggested which seem almost abso-
lutely necessary among which is the
extension of the sewer system, which
cannot be accomplished without a
large outlay. also the completion of
the water meter system which prob
ably will cost at least $4,000, and side
walk and street improvements.
The s22,5OO of indebtedness which is
not provided for by bonds is now
drawing interest at rate OF six per
cent per annum, whereas the interest
on the bonded debt is only five per
cent per annum. II is argued that IL
would be a good stroke of business to
bond the village for an amount at least
sufficient to care for this debt.
1t is not known just what amount
will be provided for when the ques-
tion is finally submitted as 1t may be
necessary to issue bonds for a sufii-
sient amount to take up the present
bond issue and for enough in addi-
ton to raise the money needed for
other purposes.
II might be stated In this connec-
tion that there is about $4,000 in delin-
quent taxes outstanding. most of which
consists of pavement and water taxes
and in money due the village for wa
ter meters installed. An effort will be
made to collect this at once.

FEARS FOR THE FUTURE.
France Believes Germany Will Greatly
Exceed in Population.

Paris, April lS-Statistics have been
published to show that in the year
1860, the population of Germany will
probably reach the figure of 100000, 600
while that of France will be only 25,-
100000. Time alone will show whether
this forecast is right; but it is inter.
esting to note that anxiety on the sub
ject already prevailed in France in the
eighteenth century. The Able Saint
Pierre then thought that the marriage
of priests would be a remedy; and he
calculated that, If all the priests had
married from the time of Francis /
there would have been 4O,000,000 more
Catholics in the country. Maurice
de SAKE saw the solution of the prob
lem i'm "leasehold marriages." which
he believed would be more fruitful
than the ordinary permanent unions
for better or for worse. A third pro-
rosal was that the entire F'ren IN army
should be compelled to marry This
plan, according to the reformer who
recommended it, would "embellish the
race and ameliorate the destin.' of the
nation"

BEEF TRUST" IS ASSAILFD
Packers, il is Charged, Control All of
the Markets and Keep Duties
in Effect. Lumber Inter-
ests Scored.

Washington, ID. c.. April 19.-The
majority report of the ways and
means committee on the so-callcd
farmers free list was submitted to
the House today by Chairman Under
wood. II is merger of Democratic
political argument and an analysis of
the proposed duty exemption.
The report shows the bill would re-
duce the tarin revenue S100lG 495, bas-
ed on the importations of the last fis-
cal year, an amount described as in
considerable in comparison with the
great saving and advantages to all OF
our people from additions to the free
list provided for"
The report declares the Canadian
reciprocity agreement now before the
House is a recognition on part Of the
administration of the injurious effect
of an extreme protection policy which
has so long been imposed upon the
country, and is an effort to mitigate
its effects"
The reciprocity agreement, the COM
mittee asserts, cannot afford the peo-
pie all the needed relief from high
prices The report then discusses in
detail the articles included in the free
list bill. In this discussion the beef
trust is assailed as an organization
that controls the markets both in buy
ing and selling, and declares the ex-
listing duties on meats "are for the ad-
vantage of this combination only"
Discussing free lumber the report
maintains that timber in this country
has passed for the most part in the
hands of great corporations and inter-
ests. which are specializing on the in
creasing scarcity"

to her after they became engaged, is

most. at any rate she wears that and
the diamond necklace presented TO

any Of her jewels.
The necklace has a special place in
her affections because Queen Victoria
gave il to her on the occasion of her
engagement to King George. The
chain of pearls presented to her ma

of twenty-three English counties, is
another highly valued piece of jewelry

Mr.. Anthony and Mr.. Johnson are

At the regular meeting Of the school
board In District No. held last even
ing. plans for the proposed two-room
addition to the Wolverine school were

Says His Impeachment as Warden
Of Marquette Prison Should
Insure Fair Hearing Be-
fore Senate
COSTLY TRIAL FOR THE STATE
Many Conviets and Other Witnesses
Will Have to Be Taken TO LANSING
Much New Testimony Will
Be Introduced.

Lansing. Mich. April 19.-when he
was informed last evening of the ac-
tion of the House I'm impeachIng him
yesterday afternoon. Warden Russell
said:
Il am thoroughly satisfied with this
disposition OF the matter IL is the
only logical one, in view of the adop-
ton by the House of the minority re-
port IL should insure a judicial dis
posal of the questions at issue, after
a full and fair hearing OF all the evil
dence bearing on the cases that figur-
ed i'm the reports of the COMMITTEES
that recently visited the prison. The
hearing will doubtless be an extended
one. The committee spent full week
taking testimony, but afforded no op-
portunity for cross-examination or for
evidence in rebuttal. When the record
is swelled. as it will be, by complete
consideration of the cases I'm all their
phases it is apparent that the hearing
Will be long drawn out"
Speaking informally, men connected
with the prison last evening comment
ed that the hearing would be one that
would cost the state a big pot OF mon
ey. largely for the reason that all the
proceedings will have to be held at
Lansing. II would be a much SIM
pier and easier case to handle il il
were possible for the senate to sit as
judicial body in this city. Practical
ly every witness I'm the case Is resid-
ing in Marquette, or confined in the
prison. and during the proceedings be-
fore the senate a considerable share OF
the prison population will have to be
transported to Lansing. As the men
who were called before the committee
on its recent visit are among the
hardest characters in the prison they
Will have to be conveyed by large
numbers Of guards. and in addition
most Of the guards who have had ex-
tended service at the prison will also
be required TO be present in the capa-
city of witnesses. All the prison off,
Gals will be called, and the problem OF
running the prison and attending the
impeachment proceedings at the same
time will be one of no small magni-
tude.
