"A municipal incinerating plant in

.Moorhead
On Stand

Roy Moorhead took the stand
in his own murder trial at 10:25
this morning, and gave his own
version of the tragedy on the
beach, that resulted In the death
of Mrs. Sadie Buchanan.
Moorhead said that after row.
ing out to meet the Audrey. he
heard his children calling to him
for help. Pulling his boat to the
shore as fast as possible, he found
Mrs. Buchanan awaiting him at
the water line, armed with a
club. He says she advanced and
struck at him twice before he
finally knocked the club from her
hand with an oar from his boat.
He said she then grabbed for his
throat and that both went into the
water in the scuffle; that after
wards both were on their feet
and that the last time he saw the
woman alive she was standing
erect in about four feet of water.
He then went to his children,
who were crying, and returning to
the beach he says he pulled her
body out of the water, but admit
ted that he did not try to ascertain
If she was alive.

Davis-Snnith on
Easy. Street

Persistent rumors prevailing on
the street that the furniture
house of Davis Smith G. Co., was
experiencing financial difficult
ties, and rumors having gone so
far as to say that a receiver had
been appointed, the Times made
an investigation concerning these
rumors.
Mr.. Davis stated that he had
heard the rumors, but that they
had not worried him in the least,
and there was absolutely no rea-
son they should.
Further Investigation develop
ed that the Shell theater, owned
by a firm known as Smith &
Davis, had gotten into a disagree
ment which resulted in a receiv-
ership, and that a small jewelry
concern known as Davis C Jones
had gotten into difficulties, and
this led to the confusion of
names involving the name of
Davis Smith & Co.
Mr.. Davis further stated that
the firm of Davis Smith & Co.
was still discounting its bills, as
it had been doing for many years,
and stated that he was doing his
banking business with the Fidel-
ity Trust company, and he had
no objection to a reporter inter
viewing them in regard to his
standing.
In an interview with Mr.. Ar
thur G. Pritchard, cashier of the
Fidelity Trust company, Mr..
Pritchard stated that there was
absolutely no foundation for the
rumors as far as the firm of
Davis Smith &c Co. were con-
cerned.

STARTS FIGHT FOR
CHEAPER GAS RATES


BENTON HARBOR. Mich. Dec. p.
Mayor Ryno, of this city. has start
ed a movement with view OF getting
cheaper gas rates. The rate per thou
sand here is Sl25, less 10 per cent II
paid before the first OF the month.
The move for cheaper gas has been
taken up by the council at the mayor $
request and an effort will be made 10
lower the price by attacking the com
pany's franchise. II is contended the
company's earnings permit reduc-
ton.
Il is believed the company has a
vulnerable point In that its fran
chise is apparently perpetual in VIC
lation OF the Michigan constitution
and some supreme court decisions
which have been handed down.
Under these the life OF any fran
chise OF a public service corporation
Is 80 years. The local company's
grant was given when Benton Harbor
was only village. over 20 years ago.
Believing that the council has the
right 10 terminate the franchise at
any time. the mayor hopes TO secure
from the company concessions which
will bring about cheaper price IL
this course does not prove satisfactory
IL is probable that the matter will be
taken TO the courts.
