FLINT VISITED BY
BUSINESS MEN
More Than 100 Go on Fourth One,
Day Trolley Trip Of Wholesalers
and Manufacturers.

There were more than 100 members
Of the Wholesalers and Manufacturers
association on the fourth OF the Make
Detroit your harbor" trips, Thursday
Flint 8elng"the destination. After q
beautiful ride through the rolling
farming country the party of Detroit
business men arrived in Flint at IL
O'Clock. AS on the other trips they
broke up into groups to visit the re-
tail merchants In the city with which
they do business and others whom
they would like to have for custom
ers. Order books were barred, the
object being to form acquaintance
that may lead to orders.
Luncheon was served to the De-
troit party at noon In the Hotel Ores
den, one OF the finest In the state out
side OF Detroit. In the afternoon most
Of the members OF the visiting party
were taken to the points of interest
in the Vehicle City In automobiles fur
nished by the citizens. The attention
OF the visitors was chiefly centered In
the huge plant of the Buick Automo-
bile 90. AID .A5 o.Ae- 2lasts IS the
General Motors combine which are
nearby. Through the courtesy OF the
officials the visitors we're taken
through the plant in small groups and
the details OF making automobiles
were explained to them.
Other points Of interest that were
visited were the state institution for
the deaf, the Durant-Dort carriage fac
tory and the w. A. Pearson carriage
factory. Every one in the party was
impressed with the hustling city. A
notable feature was the returned spirit
Of confidence among Flint business
men in the future OF the city, the de-
preston of last fall having been for
gotten in the fiourishing prosperity of
the present.
The return trip was started at 1928
and a surprise feature was added at
Orion. John Winter, of the Lake
Orion Homes association took the en-
tire party out for a ride on Lake
Orion in three big gasoline boats.
There have been many improvements
made in preparation for a big season
at Lake Orion. The party reached
Detroit at $50.
On account OF the cruise or the
Board of Commerce there will be no
trolley trip next week The next trip
will be made June Is, but the destina-
ton has not been decided upon.

LAKE WOODS PARK TO
GIVE HOSPITAL BENEFIT

Following the suggestion of THE
TIMES. Manager Gerald Berry of Lake
Woods park has decided TO set aside
one day for the benefit of Mercy hos
pitaI. Just what date the park will
turn over part of its receipts for the
benefit of the hospital is not known,
but day will be determined upon some
time Ibis week
The Mercy hospital is the city's fore
most charitable institution. and patti
ents are received whether they have
money or not and. although the institu-
ton is conducted by the Sisters of ST.
Francis of Burlington, Ia. no discrim
nation is made as to religion.
1t lis planned to make the benefit one
that will bring hundreds of dollars to
the hospital A suggestion has been
made that the gate admission tickets,
10 cents. each be sold throughout the
day, and that all church societies,
lodges. and prominent employees of the
mills of the city take charge of the
sale. Although many people would not
attend the park attractions, the dime
ticket plan would meet with universal
favor, and no one would object to bay
ing one, five even ten dime tickets.
Details of the benefit day will be
worked out. within the next few days.

East Chicago, Ind. July 13--The city
of East Chicago, far from being the
discredfted municipality 1T was in form

ing In financial circles that is the envy
OF many other Lake county cities which
have heretofore looked with contempt
upon East Chicao.
The semi-annual statement issued
July 1 by City Treasurer A. G. Slocomb
shows that far from being in debt as
has always heretofore been the case.
the city has a comfortable balance Of
s61.117.es which will pay all its ex-
penses for two months. After that the
city may be obliged to run along lit
tie on credit. but estimates show that

itself thus. indefinitely.
This has been accomplished since the
present administration took the reins
of government. and has been made

taxation and the doubling of the saloon

When Mayor Schlieker and the pres

been issued against various funds and
there was money to meet them. The

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Ind. July 13.-Senator
Steve Fleming has again aroused the
ire of his old and active enemy, E. s.
Shumaker, state superintendent OF the
Indiana Anti Saloon League. and sure
ly his left ear burned when Shumaker
cut loose at him at long distance. 1t
all came about because Fleming made
a speech at Fort Wayne on the Fourth
of July on the invitation of the w c.
T. u, In which he explained the new
liquor laws passed by the last general
assembly. of which he was a member.
1t was naturally to be expected that
Shumaker would take issue with
Fleming on some of the statements he
made in his speech, and this is what he
has done
Shumaker has published an article in
this week s issue OF the American Is
sue, the official organ of the Anti Sa-
loon League. which is OF the press to-
day In this article he pays attention
to Fleming. The article is follows:
--Ry invitation of the w. c. T. u, OF
Fort Wayne. Brewer Steve Fleming ap
peared before them In Fourth Of July
pkonic for the purpose of giving a de-
tense of his model license law passed
by the last session of the legislature.
OF course. Fleming had to make a
defense OF this law, and he did so.
There are two statement In his address
thatsw wish to notice One of them is
that the bill itself was introduced in
good faith and the other Is that the
Auti-Saloom League assisted in whip
ping thes measure into shape for final
passage
The last statement is untrue. At a
public hearing on the merits of the two
liquor bills passed by the last legisla-
tive assembly. a number OF objections
were raised to the model license pill
by the representatives of the Anti-Sa-
loon League. On the main objections
Mr.. Fleming made no concessions
whatever. On one minor matter where
objection was raised that the filing of a
5000 bond by a citizen wishing to Sc
cure the revocation or the suspension
of liquor license was an unfair dis
elimination against the citizen opposed
to the liquor traffic. Mr. Fleming did
concede that the bond should also be

BURGLAR TAKES FLY
PAPER FROM BUNGALOW
(SpeciaI TO TIE Times


East Chicago. July 13.-Burgiars en-
tered the Adam Hermansdorfer bum
galow at 4121 Magoun avenue last
night and stole the following articles:
One revolver.
One pair trousers.
One piece fypaper.
Some Sherlock Holmes figuring by
the family has led them TO conclude
that in entering the back window on
which the fypaper had been placed, the
burglar sat upon the same, and this un-
toward accident made it necessary for
him to change his neither garments A
fra gment of the fiypaper which was on
the dining room table when the family
returned attested to the fact that an
attempt had been made to release the
paper. but this was probably too messy
a task for the robber, who preferred to
change his trousers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hermansdorfer spent
the evening at the circus.
Mrs. Hermansdorfer had a '.hunch''
that there might be something doing
in the burglary line owing to the pres
ence in town of the circus. and after
the door had been locked she took the
precaution of going back into the
house for her jewels. Mr.. Hermans-
dorfer also upon the advice of his wife
took along $40 in money which he had
previously left in the pockets of an
other suit.
How fortunate was this precautior
may be estimated from the fact that
the drawer in which it is Mrs. Her

ELK'S .ANTLERS
UNEARTHED

Memories of the past came to light
yesterday afternoon when John J. Ny
hoff, Gary's coal dealer. while super
vising the digging of pit in his coal
yard at Third avenue and Virginia
street, uncovered pair of Elk's ant
lers seven feet below the surface Of
the ground.
1t is believed that the antlers have
been buried at least two hundred
years The theory is expressed that
the elk was either killed or died ma
tural death and that Its carcass re-
manned on the spot where 1t met its
death. Then the roaming sand dunes
buried its body and the lake, which
two centuries ago had Its shore line
near the spot. threw up more sand
Mr. Nyhor has presented the antIers
to the Gary Elk's lodge The antlers
will be filled with concrete and will
be hung in the lodges new clubrooms.
