HIGHLAND PARK
ANNEXATION OFF
Supervisors Discover Injunction Pre-
venting Consideration of the Mat
ter-Kills Plan For Year.

Highland Park will not become part
|of Detroit this year. This was finally
determined in meeting of the board
|of supervisors, Monday noon. when
attention was called to the fact that
the board has been restrained by in
Junction from taking any action on
the annexation matter.
The fact that the supervisors were
Ienjoined from considering the matter
was great surprise to all parties
concerned, and even to the circuit
court judges.
Thursday last, Attorney Robert +.
Barber, representing the anti-annex-
.ationists, petitioned Judge Murphy for
an order to show Gauge why the SUI
.pervisors should not be restrained
from meeting. but he did not at that
time ask for restraining order.
Judge Murphy expressed his willing
ness to grant the order to show cause,
making 1t returnable Saturday. M.
Barber then returned to his office to
prepare the order, and In making 1t
out. inserted q restraining order TO
the effect that the supervisors were
not to consider the matter until the
further order of the court.
When Mr.. Barber returned to the
court to get Judge Murphy's sigma
ture. he found that the Judge mad
gone to a funeral, so he presented
the order to Judge Donovan. Mr.
Barber informed Judge Donovan that
IL was the order consented to by Judge
Murphy, and Judge Donovan at once
aflixed his signature. Judge Donovan
says he was not aware that there was
a restraining clause In the order. TAX

"Why don't you ask my opinion on a
question about which there is some
doubt? The people have already de-

realize and fully appreciate the great
ness of Mr.. Taft. and the non-partizan
character of his administration ~has
made him strong among all classes.

filled. but on his unsullied record and
his fidelity to every trust"
