INTEREST IS
ON INCREASE
QUITE A NUMBER OF NEW STU
DENTS HAVE BEEN ENROLLED
AT THE Y. M. C. A INSTITUTE.

Continued interest is being mani
tested in the Y. M. c, A Institute
quite a number having enrolled during
the past week. That the classes are
arranged to fit the business needs of
the men and boys is a feature very
much appreciated, hence the growth.
One OF the young men in last sea-
sons bookkeeping class, on account
of preparation made In that subject,
has just received an offer with q sub
stantial raise. Another enters a re-
sponsible position through q recon-
mendation Of the educational director
The work OF the 7. N. c. A. Is to en-
able every man and boy to find him
self and to provide that training which
will insure success
The regular classes in book keeping,
shorthand and typewriting, mechan-
ical and architectural drawing are all
under way with considerable interest.
A new class in business arithmetic,
English and penmanship for men was
organized Friday, which viii meet on
Tuesdays and Fridays at D. m. for
one hour. In this way those entering
senior gymnasium or other classes
may complete elementary work needed.
Another season win win find adver-
Using and craftsmanship class a ne
cessity.
The Spanish class is still one of the
possibilities for this season, while the
literary and debating club is assured.
The boys department is doing well;
the Junior and senior classes becom-
ing enthusiastic with excellent attend
ance.
The interest In higher mathematics;
Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry
is so good that a class in practical
higher mathematics will soon be or
ganized. In addition to the machine
shop arithmetic class which Is very
successful
On account of the number Of young
men looking forward to civil engineer
ing as a profession and unable at the
present, to go to college. a course In
civil engineering is a very probable
addition to the institute curriculum.
The department is constantly on
the lookout to help the ambitious man
and boy, and also to seek to awaken
ambitious mothers.
A cordial invitation Is extended to
employers, fathers and men and boys
to cooperate 10 this end.

Senator Burton Deals
Hard Blow to Lorimer

WASHINGTON, Feb. ga notable
contribution to the arguments In the
Lorimer case was made by Burton
(Repn Ohio, In the senate today. HIS
verdict was that corrupt practices IN
the election of Lorimer deprived the
latter of any legal claim to seat IN
the senate. --'s----.-N. ....N'-A'-. -
1t is perfectly evident" he said,
that fraud was so rampant and dis
honesty so widespread In this election
that 1t is impossible to separate the
sound votes from the unsound votes.
When THERE is indubitable proof as here
thar fraud and bribery have been re-
sorted TO no one can derive from tia
cesspool OF corruption any conclusion
except that no election was had. IN
doubted proof is available not only To
show that a sufficient number OF brib-
cd persons cast their votes for Mr..
Lorimer to invalidate his election. but
also on other grounds than this there
was no choice. Strong arguments sus
tain a presumption that not only,
seven, eight or 10 we're corrupt, but
that possibly 80 cast their votes under
the influence of bribery or dishonesty"

Progressive Republican League Urges
People To Petition Senators To
Support Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-"The di.
rect election OF the United States SEN
ators Is one OF the important ques-
tions before the American people,
says a statement issued by the
executive committee OF the National
Republican Progressive league, today.
"Its friends throughout the country
should urge their senator's to support
the issue now pending. The time Is
short and the interest OF every per-
son is important. The National Re
publican Progressive league hopes
the friends of this movement will
write or wire Immediately"
The committee calls attention to
the fact that state legislatures have
petitioned congress for such legisla-
ton for a dozen years and that, while
the house has always been favorable
the legislation has always heretofore
been killed In the senate. The amend
ment requires two-thirds vote of the
senate. Its adoption by the house Is
assured.
"The resolution needs every vote In
the senate that can be mustered for
it's passage"

Punctures Their Arguments When

Canada

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6--Arguments
of the print paper manufacturers. who
asserted that the Canadian reciprocity
agreement would injure their business
received a severe setback today, at
the hands OF Champ Clark (Dem.
MOI, before the house ways and
means committee.
f. M. Hugo. of Watertown, n. y,
representing the Remington & Mar
tin Co.; F. J. Sensenberner, of Nine
yah, Wis, and Arthur G.. Hastings, Of
New York, representing the American
Pulp Paper Association, appeared for
the manufacturers. Hugo declared
that Canadian manufacturers can pro-
duce news print paper at much low
er rate than 1t ca nbe made in this
country, because of cheaper pulp wood
which they can buy at 81 cord
less-and because of Cheaper un-
skilled labor" Champ Clark confus-
ed the witnesses when he pointed out
that paper men had declared that any
reduction in the paper duty would
lower prices, when they appeared
against tho $1.25 reduction In the
Payne bill. Clark added:
"You fellows told us then that IL we
cut the duty from SIS ton to 1915.
you would have to cut your rate till
1t would be Improbable. And instead
the price is now higher than 1t was
then. Under the same logic. II we put
1t on the free list, you would still be
able to maintain the presetn price"
The paper men could not explain
this, but they persisted in the asser-

DETROIT BILLS TO
KEEP s0L0hs BUSY
Water Board Has Had Two Intro
duced and City's Bonding Boost
Measure Is Being Prepared.

With Corporation Counsel Hally
working on bill to increase Detroit's
bonding limit from two to three per
cent, Mayor Thompson arranging for
a conference OF Michigan mayors on
the question of amending the home
rule bill and the legislature already
considering important measures az
|fecting the city OF Detroit, there will
be much to occupy the attention OF
the city officials as well as Detroit's
representatives in the legislature the
next few days.
The bill to increase the bond limit
will be in the form OF an amendment
10 Section 4. Of the city charter. II
will be submitted to the council com
mittee on city and charter legislation
Tuesday afternoon, and reported to
the council, Tuesday night and that
body will order that II be presented TO
the legislature at the earliest possible
moment.
Rep. Robert Y. Ogg. chairman OF the
house committee on city corporations,
has not notified Secretary Schreiter,
OF the common council committees,
that two bills Of vital interest to De-
troit have been presented by the wa
ter board and have already been In
troduced In the house. There will }be
hearing on these measures next
Thursday evening, at o'clock, and
the common council Is asked to have
a representative present. The corpora
ton counsel has also been notified
of the meeting and Mr.. Hally will
send someone 10 represent him.
One of the bills In question pro
vides for increasing the bonding linn
IL of the water board from $500, 600
to $3,500,000. The other amends the
act providing for the condemnation OF
private property whenever II is. de-
sired by the board for It's own iuse,
in accordance with decision handed
down by the supreme court In the
ago. The law under which the board
Is now operating Is defective.
No opposition to the bill providing
for the raising of the -city's- bonding
limit is expected in Lansing. The
expediency OF the measure Is obvious
to anyone familiar with the situation
In this city.

PLUME SELVES
As MISSIONARIES
Baptists Doing Best Work Among
City's Forsign-Born Population,
Says Rev. g. L. Wittet.

The Rov. George L. Wittet, secre-
tary of the Detroit Baptist union, in
the course OF an address on The
foreign-born population and our city
churches" before the Baptist Minis
ter's conference. In the Woodward
ave. Baptist church, Monday morning,
said that the Baptists were having
more success with missionary work
among the foreigners OF Detroit than
any other denomination.
I'VE are doing better work with the
foreigners than any other church
workers in the cify," said Mr.. Wittet,
because our church policy and, the
gospel we preach appeal to the
foreigners" y,
Mr.. Wittet, by means of a city map,
pointed out where the different mis-
sions among the foreigners are locat-
ed. He said there were in all 222
Protestant churches and missions, to
ing missionary work among the
foreigners in the city, as follows: Ad-
'ventists. 2; Baptists, 80; Christian, o.;
Congregational, q; Episcopalian, 20;
Lutheran, As; Methodists, SO; Presby-
terian, "a and Catholic, as. The Uni
versalist and Unitarian churches were
not included in the list, he said, be-
cause they were doing nothing in the
way of city foreign missionary work.
The Methodists were also practically
at standstill in regard to missionary
work among the foreigners Of the
city, having only one hall for such
work
According to the census OF 1904, Mr..
wittet said the foreign born popula-
ton was made up as follows In De-
troit: Polish. 41,354: Hungarians, s.
265; Canadians, 36,302; Germans, Al
2S5; Scotch, 1901; Negroes, 10000;
Irish, 9,256. Since this census was
taken, Mr.. Wittet said he understood
that the figures OF each nationality
had been greatly increased.
Mr.. Wittet pointed out the great
need OF Christianizing the foreigners,
saying the average newcomer from
abroad was so constituted that IL was
necessary to check him. else he would
check the American. The foreigners
were usually hard to work with from
a religious point of view. because of
the fact that they came here with
deep prejudices against other races.
1T Is fact, too, and i say IL with
shame" said Mr.. Wittet, that the
foreigner meets strong prejudice when
he comes among AngloSaxons."
In telling OF the work of the Bop
lists among the Detroit Armenians,
Mr.. wittet said Nese foreigners look.
ed on themselves as the original
Christians. and that they could not
understand why the Almighty allow
ed their fellow-countrymen at home
to be slaughtered as they are by the
Turks.
Following discussion on the paper,
IL was decided, on motion OF the Rev.
r. r. Galpin, to invite the Rev. c. w.
Brooks, Cleveland mission worker, to
come to Detroit and give an address.
as a sort Of supplement TO that OF tho
Rev. Mr.. Wittet. the clergymen pres
ent believing that the subject ought
to have more consideration.

AID. LYNCH PLANS
!, CITY TAILOR SHOP
Thinks Municipal Institution Would
Save Much Money for Policemen
and Firemen.

+ d. Aid. Thomas Lynch, OF the Fif-
teenth ward, Is preparing an ordi-
nance. which he will introduce In the
council at an early date, providing for
the establishment of a municipal
tailor shop. He would have the city
make clothes for the policemen and
firemen at cost price, which would
moan a big saving to the men
in these departments, he fgures.
Whether the ordinance will permit
the aldermen to have their clothes
made by the municipal tailor, Aid.
Lynch does not say.
II have looked into this question
very carefully" said Aid. Lynch, Mon
day, land see no reason why the
city could not engage In such an en-
terprise. | have talked with a num-
ber Of policemen and firemen md
they are heartily in favor of such a
shop. Why, it's a shame the amount
of money those boys have to lay out
for clothes every year. A police
mans overcoat, for instance, costs
anywhere from $2S to $32. lean go
into q store and buy a good overcoat
for $25.
"A fireman may put on brand new
suit this morning. Before the day Is
over he Is called out to fire and
perhaps drenched with water or chem
icals and his new suit Is ruined. Then
he's got to dig down In his jeans for
the price of new suit. for he's al
ways got TO look just so when the in
spector comes around.
"One policeman told me that 1t cost
him s165 a year for clothes. Think
what that means whsp he is getting
only 5000 a year and has to support
n family"

Shocking Situation Revealed When
Botza Andrew Is Hailed To Court
Case Held Up Because Babe Is
Dead From tuberculosis.
Three Other Children Are Affected,
and Father Only Recently Ran
Away From Sanatorium.

The ordinance session presided over
by Judge Phelan, Monday morning
was featured by the presence OF q
number of violators of the milk ordi-
nance, and the court further encourag-
ed the campaign for pure milk by
dealing summarily with the offenders
One of the most fragrant and at the
same time one of the most pathetic
cases that has ever come to the at
tention of the health board, is that
of Botza Andrew, No. 200 Mackie-ave.
Andrew was summoned to court,
Monday morning, but the case was
held up when the court learned that
his six-months old baby had died
Sunday, from tuberculosis.
Capt Roehl told Judge Phelan, that
Andrew has been selling milk for a
long time, while tuberculosis existed
in the household. In fact, Andrew
himself was recently patient In the
tuberculosis sanatorfum. He refused
to cut off his mustache, which Is one
of the imperative rules of the institu-
ton. When the authorities insisted,
he ran away. Capt. Roehl says there
are three other children In the family
and they are all affected.
This is terrible condition" said
Judge Phelan. 1T strikes me the
anti-tuberculosis society could. do a
noble work there. They can't be per-
mitted to go on selling milk and still
they must be cared for
He issued an order forbidding any
further sale of the milk, and he or
dered the poor commission to investi-
gate.

was promptly ordered to discontinue
business. Mike" Wutke, brother,
conducts place at No., $50 Infantry
ave. Only 100000 bacteria to the cubic
centimetre was found in his milk. He
also was ordered to get out of the
business at once.

ASPHALT PRICES LOWER.
Bids Received by o. p. w. Show Sub
stantiai Cuts From Last Year.

otanttal Cuts from laSt year.
Bids were opened In the department
of public works, Monday morning, on
asphalt paving materials for the com
ing fiscal year and were found to be
considerably lower than last years
prices. The bids on natural asphalts
average about 81 per ton lower. On
eastern oils the lowest bid Is 1886
per ton as against last years price
OF $1047. On California oil the bid Is
$3.50 per ton, which is also lower
than the prices formerly paid.
Bids on stone and asphalt sand are
about 10 cents per ton higher than
last year. Limestone dust Is higher,
also, but II Is now shipped In paper
bags, which can be thrown away, in
stead of jute sacks, for which the de-
partment was formerly charged 10
cents apiece. A rebate was given for
all bags returned. but many were
torn and otherwise damaged so they
could not be returned. The city will
enter into contracts for a bout 5000
tons of asphalt for the year. The total
cost of the work and material last
year was In the neighborhood OF $780,
O00 II will run about the same for
1911, but more work will be accom-
plished for the same money.

recommendation are once made they
