D. j. R RENTAL CASE
SET Tf9R|1AaeA IS
Hally Springs Surprise on Railway
By Admitting ALI Its
Contentious.

The suit instituted by the city oI
Detroit against the ID. u. r. to coni-
pei the payment of 5000 per day for
the rental Of Fort-st. upon which fran
chises have expired. will be tried on
its merits on March 13. This was de.
termined in Judge Murphy's court,
Friday, after Corporation Counsel
Hally, representing the city, and At
torneys Fred A. Baker and Charles
ID. Joslyn. representing the d. U. r.,
had argued until almost l o'clock.
Mr.. Hally asked for an early hear
ing OF the case, which he said had
been delayed now for nine months on
enc pretext or sn6ther, and protested
against the request of the defendants
for the right to introduce testimony.
Mr.. Hally then sprang surprise on
the opposition by boldly admitting
every contention the ID. u. r. attor-
neys made, and then arguing that
since he admitted their claims were
correct there was no need of sub
hitting proof. The testimony tue
defendants desired to introduce would
include the entire financial matters
on every line lin the city, and would
take. Mr.. Hally declared, at least
eight or nine months. 1t was this de-
lay he wished to avoid.
Among the claims made by the de-
fendants which Mr.. Hally admitted
was that the Fort-st. line makes let
profit Of only 100000 per year, while
the rental asked by the city amount
ed to $4,000 per year. He assumed
the attitude that II the ID. u. r. did
not like the terms proposed II could
get out, but he did not say that in
plain English.
The ID. U. r. attorneys claimed that
the court had no right to exclude
proofs that they wished to introduce
even IL the plaintiff had admitted all
the allegations contained in the
cross-bill and answer.
Judge Murphy In setting the case
for an early hearing reserved the
right to exclude what proofs he deem
ed unnecessary when the matter
comes up for hearing.

he replied.
.Its organization is a natural
sequence to the Laymen's missionary
movement which swept this country
two years ago. At that time the
thought Of the church was toward
those living in less favored lands and
the providing Of larger financial sup
port for the carrying forward OF the
missionary enterprise. Since the be-
ginning of the Laymen' 8 Missionary
Movement much thought has been
given to conditions In our own land,
and as a result, conference was
called In Buffalo last October, at
tended by 262 delegates from az cities
In 3S states. The result or the con-
ference was the Men and religion
movement
What is the significance OF this
movement? This Is an opportune
time to call upon the men of the ma
tion for a period Of more than com.
mon thought of God in view OF years
OF unprecedented prosperity and
favor. History has no record which
parallels the marvellous blessings
with which God has favored the
North American people. They have

All the guests about me repre-
scented gold. AS l lay in my bed
on the eve of the coronation, sleep
was impossible because of the
cries and roars of the people be-
low my window, waiting through
out the night to see their mon
arch pass by. Being poor, they
had been unable to purchase
places and had to remain in their
positions on the curbstone all
night.
Was it the love of their king
which prompted them to undergo
this long and weary vigil; or was
it some instinct of the past which
aroused IN them a desire to see
a tangible relic of the history of
bygone days when kings were
thus wont to impress on an ig-
norant people the undisputed
power of an absolute monarchy?
looked down at them and
tried to feel as they did. l think
that they were more amused than
impressed by this spectacle of by
gone greatness. Education has
made them realize and appreciate
their power. Every last man of
them knew that, If a bad and cor
rupt king were to arise, one who
neglected the interests of the peo-
pie, he would be removed from
the throne and republic pro-
claimed throughout the land.
1t seemed to me that the poor
watchers in the street showed far
more interest and enthusiasm for
the bands, with their music, than
they actually displayed when the
king himself appeared.

A great majority were men and
women earning their bread by the
sweat of their brows. Many,
surely, were in want for the ne
cessities of life; their garments
and their faces told the truth.
Did not vast numbers Of them
feel as / did, that it would have
been better to have spent less
gold on this occasion and that II
would have been more fitting had
their king and queen gone in a
simple way to the old abbey, to-
gether to approach the altar and
beseech the blessing of God AL
mighty upon their reign?
Though the king has the power
to resurrect this magnificent
pageant, belonging to another
