CAPTURE SUSPECTED THIEVES.
Two Alleged Robbers Caught by Delta
County Officers.

An exciting chase. after two alleged
thieves resulted i'm the arrest at Es-
canada of G.. Mccormick and George
French by Sheriff II. j. Curran and
Deputy Sheriff f.. w. Aronson. 1t is
said that after stealing a quantity of
clothing from a boarding house at Kip
ling the two men escaped to Escan-
aba and after arriving there one of
them stole an overcoat from the Com
mercial Hotel. They then secured a
rig to drive from the city but Sheriff
Curran had been notified of the rob-
berry at Kipling and with Deputy
Aronson had started on the trail. At
ter following the pair about the city
for some time the officers finally
chased one of the men with the rig
To an alley, where he was captured.
The other was caught at his home. The
goods stolen at Kipling are said to
have been found in the possession of
the two men and it also is stated that
one of the twain was wearing the over
coat stolen at the Commercial House.
One Of the men is a former Sault Ste.
Marie saloon keeper and has been liv-
ing In Escanaba the past few months.

sE.sAwlNe IN The HOUSE.

The house has been see-sawing quite
merrily on the junket proposition
Awhile ago it passed a resolution that
there be no junkets, only one dissent
ing vote being recorded. A few days
later by a vote of sixty-six TO nineteen
the house rejected - resolution that
committees might visit state institu-
tions between Friday adjournments
and Monday night meetings. Recently
the house revived the matter again
and this time sanctioned junkets. over
ruling a decision of Speaker Bacon
that a resolution offered by Rep. War
ner empowering the university COM
mittee to go to Ann Arbor to look into
the institutions needs, was out of or
der on the ground that the house had
resolved against all kinds of junkets.
The chairman of the university COM
mittee, Rep. Warner took the leader
ship in the fight for the privilege of
junketing. But this time a new name
was given to the junkets. II was soft
ened to business visits probably to
make it sound better to the folks back
home. The speaker was reversed by a
vote Of 81 to 80. In reality but one
junket was sanctioned, that to Ann
Arbor, but a precedent having been
made other committees can now fairly
claim the right TO visit each of the
twenty-five or thirty state institu-
tons from Kalamazoo to Houghton..,
Speaker Baker, who, from the out
set has been doing all in his power
to abolish junketing in any form, and
man who is determined and
consistent wanted the house to go
on record by repeating it's initial ac-
ton that there be no junkets but as
this would not be likely to set well with
their constituents the nfty-one mem
bers who opposed him failed to con-
cur in this line Of procedure II is
practically certain that the people of
the state are opposed to junkets and
agree with the governor that the prac-
tice should be eliminated, so Speaker
Bakers course in the matter undoubt-
edly will meet with approval. He
is proving himself to be a strong man
in the speakers chair.

that the wants Of the children are
just as worthy Of attention as are
those Of grown persons.
Every boy and every girl yearns for
some outdoor field or yard where
games may be played. In the densely
populated sections of few cities it
is extremely difficult to supply this
want for dwellings or business estab-
lishments ordinarily occupy most of
the available space, and the city gov
eminent often thinks less of the need
Of youthful enjoyment than Of the ex-
pense of providing grounds for such
"a project. Yet Boston and New York
have taken the lead it may be said,
in-teaching the country The important
lesson that Fairgrounds constitute an
obligation rather than a luxury some
thing just as important as any other
branch of municipal activity. But
While the larger communities are
wealthy enough to provide these open
spots without special arrangements,
some others have found il better TO
organize representative committees of
leading citizens for that purpose and
raise funds by the subscription meth
Cd. These committees frequently re-
suit in the formation of playground as
sociations.
