Candidates for the judicial nomina
tons and for county auditor are put
ting forth their final efforts today
closing what has been one of the
quietest campaigns in the history OF
local politics. There are no con
tests for the six Democratic nomina
tions. For the six Republican nom
nations there are nine candidates
Two Of them, George Coomer and
Proctor X. Owens, are regarded as
practically out Of the running. This
leaves seven candidates to fight 1t out
Tor the six places. Which of the seven
Is doomed to disappointment, will not
be known until after the votes are
counted. The indications are, how.
ever, that the contest for sixth place
will be between George p. Codd and
Hugh Shepherd, with the odds favor
ing the latter.
The other Republican candidates
are: Judges Henry A. Mandell, Morse
Rohnert and Joseph w. Donovan;
Prosecutor Philip T. Van Zile and jus
tice OF the Peace Louis OFT. The
Democratic candidates are: Judge
Alfred j. Murphy and George g.. Hos
mer; Corporation Counsel p. ]. M
Hally, Charles t. Wilksss, Stephen
D. Williams and Michael j. Lehman.
A pretty fight is looked for over
the Republican nomination for aud
itor, with Auditor Charles A. Buhrer
and Aid. John HARPER as the prin
cipal contenders. John G. Bleil Ia
also a candidate and has some strong
support. James V. Cunningham will
be nominated on the Democratic
ticket without oppoSption.
When the council committee on
ways and means met for It's weekly
session, Tuesday noon, II was con
fronted with the necessity Of provid
ing $14,275c at once for the purpose OF
holding the judicial primaries. Wed

has decided that two must be held

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN By
WILLIAM G.. FREEMAN.
No. 67O.

There are always TWO sides
to a story.
The business man has his side,
and it is not always the public's
side.
A part of the public is most
exasperating - most unfair =
and sometimes untruthful and
tricky.
In a shoe store the other day
a well-dressed woman was de-
manding that the manager ex-
change for her a pair of slippers
which were badly soiled.
Her complaint was that they
were too small-that the sales
man had no business to sell her
a pair of slippers that were toe
small and hurt her feet.
The slippers were absolutely
useless to the store. They could

HE|NEMAN HUMPS
WITH ESTIMATES
Has Budget Ready for Council Week
Earlier Than Usual-Total
Is $14,05S, ,104.

All records for celebrity in the prep
aration of the estimates for submis-
sion TO the council have been broken
this year by City Controller Heine-
man and Deputy Controller Milton r.
Palmer. Under the charter, the esti-
mates must be in the councils hands
not later than the first Tuesday In
March. while the council, must turn
them over TO the board of estimates
not later than March %. The first
Tuesday in March this year falls
on March z, and IL the controller
had waited until that-time 70 transmit
the budget the council would have
had only about three weeks in which
to consider IL.
The controller and his deputy made
up their minds early, however, to have
the budget In readiness at least a
week earlier than the law required
For the past two weeks Deputy Pal
mer has practically lived in the print
ing office where the estimates were
being set up. He has read each page
at least four times and some of them
as many as seven or eight times and.
thanks to his effogts, the budget will
go to the council Tuesday night Pal
mer has actually grown thin over the
job and the controller will insist on
his taking at least q couple OF days
best.
In submitting the estimates, Con-
troller Heineman does not attempt TO
make any analysis Of the figures. His
preface says In part:
The amount OF these estimates
total $l4,058, ,1O4.04, by far the largest
sum ever asked, and more than two
million dollars In excess of the record
breaking requests of last year.
These figures require no comment.
The task before your honorable body
is selfevident. 1t Is up to you wheth-
er the high tax rate of last year is to
be repeated or exceeded, and IL the
reasonable needs OF the eity, Hbefally
supplied, make such a rate necessary.
Whatever disposition is to be made
with this budget, there Is. one point
on which all must agree, namely, that
the bonding limit must be IT once
increased unless the growth OF the
city is to be strangled. All perman-
ent improvements OF any magnitude
should, for some time to come, be paid
for by bonds. Your honorable body
has gone on record to this effect sew
eral times In recent years, and not to
put this resolution into effect would
be, under present conditions. an i'm
position on the taxpayers. The bond
ed debt of the city Is relatively small.
II should be at once increased to pro-
vide necessaries of a permanent ma
ture. 1t should be carefully guarded,
however, from ephemeral schemes or
wanton extravaganza"

SAYS MILLER BILL
0UTRAGEsD sDECENCY
Mayor Holly Denounces Grade Sepa-
ration Measure and Calls on
Council To Fight It.

Mayor Thompson will send to the
common council, Tuesday night, a
communication urging the passage OF
a resolution to be introduced by Aid.
Owen, chairman of the grade separa-
ton committee, condemning the Mil
ler bill, which proposes to make sew
eral changes In the grade separation
act inimical to the city's interests.
The mayor. In his letter, recites
briefly the history of grade separa-
tion work In Detroit and points out
that while the law has been amended
from time to time, the measure OF
damages has remained unchanged.
Furthermore, that measure of dam
ages has been sustained by the au-
preme court, and the Miller law, he
points out, proposes to alter this.
The mayor continues:
ITO have all the work and all the
labor that has been given to this sub.
ject 60 for nausht in order that those
who claim to suffer damages, and
who, In many instances, are really
benefited, may 60 as far as their own
sweet Wills will permit them to 20
In calling upon the city treasury TO
reimburse them, would be a public
calamity and an outrage on decency.
II therefore ask your honorable
body to pass the accompanying reso-
luton, or some similar resolution,
and authorize your, committee on
grade separations to be present at
the public hearing in Lansing, March
3. to lend It's voice and It's influence
In protest against this vicious meas
ure."
Aid. owens proposed resolution,
which will undoubtedly be adopted,
follows:
Resolved, That the common
council OF the city OF Detroit,
emphatically condemn as unfair
and vicious the attempt TO
change, by the introduction and
passage OF senate bill No. 156,
the law which now prevails with
respect to awarding damages
from grade separations. This law
with respect to the damages that
may be recovered has been on
the books since the year 1893.
The supreme court has defined
Its meaning, and those who have
In reality suffered will be Who'll
ly and completely compensated
for their loss under &C. and this
attempt to override the decision
OF the supreme court should be
rebuked. And II Ia therefore
Further resolved, that II is the
sense OF this meeting that all the
representatives of the city of
Detroit In the present legislature,
be and they are hereby requested
to use their utmost influence and
power to prevent its passage, and
that the city clerk be requested
to forward copies OF this resolu-
ton to the aforesaid representa-
tives.

BROTHER STAYS, BROTHER
TOWN OF LEARY SHOCKED BY
TRAGEDY SATURDAY NIGHT.
Phil Whitaker Shot Lotion Whita-
ker Dead While Taking Him
Home. No Arrest Made.


Home. No Arrest Made.
News was received in Dawson ear
ly Sunday morning of sensational
tragedy in Leary late Saturday night
in which Phil Whitaker, a well
known merchant of that place, shot
his brother, Lotion Whitaker, dead.
Mr.. James Alexander Of Dawson, it
is said, was the only person who wit
messed the tragedy, and the killing,
it seems, was done in self-defense.
According to the most authentic
account that has reached Dawson
Lotion Whitaker was intoxicated and
causing a disturbance on the street.
His wife sent for Phil Whitaker to
bring her husband home. The broth
err. in compliance with the request,
attempted to lead Lotion home, but
the latter resisted. Phil called on
James Alexander of Dawson, who
was standing nearby, to assist him
AS Alexander took hold of Lotion S
arm the drunken man knocked him
down. He then commenced to strike
at his brother. Both being powerful
men physically a fierce struggle en-
sued. Phil asserts tnat during tlls
struggle, while he was trying to free
himself from his brothers frenzied
grasp, the latter said: Il have been
wanting a chance to kill you a long
time, and now / am going to do il"
With this he reached his right hand
to his pocket as though to draw a
weapon. Thereupon Phil drew his
revolver and fired.
After the killing Phil Whitaker
took charge of his brothers funeral
and the funeral was
held at Leary Monday morning.
Whitaker was not arrested, nor was
any coroner's inquest considered
necessary.
The Whitakers were nephews of
the late Capt. Phil E. Boyd and
of Mr.. R. D. Goss Of
Dawson, and both had families.
