Phelan's great popularity with all
classes and Judge Connolly's far
reaching influence In local politics.
Thomas +. Chawke. law partner OF
State Senator James ii. Lee, was con-
sidering the advisability Of gosSg out
for the nomination as associate re-
corder. bur recently told friends he
had changed his mind. Judge Con-
molly will have the support even OF
some OF the present Republican once
holders. both in the city and county.
II don't think anybody will have che
nerve to oppose Judge Connolly" Is
the way enc Republican city offlcial
put IL, Wednesday. Nerve" Is the
proper word, for II would require an
abundance Of that characteristic Amer
lean quality to buck the Connolly or
ganizat ion.
Politicians are waiting to see just
how far County Auditor Forbes Rob
ertson will go in his effort to defeat
his colleague, Charles A. Buhrcr. Some
of the wise onee are expecting to
see him tie up TO one of the other
candidates and would not be surprised
TO find hini taking the stump against
Buhrer.
OF course, IL he does tie up with
any candidates, IL will have 10 be I'M
derstood In advance that the candi-
date, IL successful, will work with
Robertson ON the board. AS II is now,
he has practically nothing to say.
Auditors Oakman and Buhrer stand
ing together on all propositions.
Prosecuting Attorney Philip I. Van
Zile has not decided whether to be-
come candidate for circuit Judge. but
will probably make up his mind be-
fore the end OF the month. Great
pressure is being brought to bear to
get him into the race. Every mail
brings letters from friends and ad.
mirers who think his record as prose-
cutor and his unquestioned legal abil-
lty entitle him to q place on the bench.
He was formerly Judge OF. tho circuit
Calhoun, Eaton and Barry
counties, and made an excellent rec
ord, retiring from the bench to ac-
cept presidential appointment in
Utah. The letters urging him 10 be-
come a candidate, come from many of
the county's best known citizens.
Friends OF Former Deputy Control
Ter William j. Nagel are trying to
persuade him TO become the Demo-
cratic candidate for county auditor in
the coming spring election, but Nagel
declares he is out of politics. He Is
too busy making motorcycles, he ex-
plains. Nagel unsuccessfully opposed

ating in restraint of trade, was re-
sumed in the office of Clark, Lock-

gar c. Park, who went about the
country representing himself as a

ploy of the National company. His
duties were to learn the business Sec
rets Of competing companies, secure

Germs II possible. He said that only
two or three people connected with
the National company knew OF Parks

Asked IL he had ever heard Presi-
dent Patterson say anything about a
monopoly, Mr.. Counselman said he
had heard Mr.. Patterson in speeches
say that the cash register business
belonged to the National people, and
the only way to keep the business
and pay agents 35 per cent was to
control the business absolutely. The
witness also stated that the com
pany's attorney said that II Mr.. Pat
terson didn't stop those kind OF
speeches he would have toruble keep
ing the officers out of jail.

CRITTENTOh HOME
WORTHY CHARITY.
Institution Is Doing Splendid Work
In City-Now Makes First Appeal
For Funds.

For the first time In its Is years
existence, the Florence Crittenton
home will make general appeal tor
ala TO the citizens OF Detroit. We'd
nesday, Jan. %. On that day, iitera-
ture will be left In $4,000 homes OF
the city, containing brief facts about
the institution, its needs and the
reasons for asking aid at this time.
voluntary response Is asked-mear-
ing anything from a penny upward
and collections will be made one
week later. Feb. 1, by accredited
representatives OF the home.
I'VE have no regular income from
any source whatever. and have TO
depend wholly upon the generosity OF
individuals" said Dr. William A. vii
son. resident physician and superin-
tendent of the home. There Is a mis-
apprehension In the minds OF many
people that Mr.. Crittenton endowed
the home here, but as matter OF
fact he did not, and with the excep-
ton OF few hundred dollars given
by the national association of Crit
tenton circles to the Detroit home.
when IL was started, We have had no
financial support from that source.
Our only independent income Is
the comparatively small amount paid
for board by the parents or other
guardians OF the babies in the home.
At present We have So children here
and total family of 113 persona
no small number to feed and keeD
warm. Last year We ran about $4,000
behind in our current expenses, but
within the past month this amount
has been reduced to $500. We have
always worked along quietly here IN
the home and this Is the first gem
eral appeal ever made. We hope the
citizens of Detroit will respond liber-
ally. We would like to have more
people come TO the institution, go
through 1t and get acquainted with
its work. We are always glad to
have visitors
The home is in the building at
Elizabeth and st. Antoine-sts., for
merly the House of Providence, and
since acquiring the property, which
is rated at $4,000, the board of trus-
tees of the home has expended $685.
600 In necessary improvements. There
is still a mortgage of $4,000 out
standing. In addition to it's matern-
ity and infant wards, the home has
a Gay nursery and kindergarten that
is largely patronized and has been
found a great boon In this crowded
Eeighborhood, where men, women
and children go to work at the ear
Hest age the law will permit working
Mothers are very glad to leave their
babies in good care and safe hands
The Florence Crittenton home has
been recognized as one of the worth
lest philanthropies In the city and
those citizens who know of the
splendid work II Is doing, believe that
when others are made acquainted
with few facts concerning 1t. in the
cards to be distributed next Wednes-
day. the response to the appeal for
aid will be generous.
