'SACRIFICED MYSELF
TO CHURCH, SAYS DAWSON
Ann Arbor Pastor, 0usted From
Job, Blames Ultra-C onserv-
alive Element

ANN ARBoR. Mich, May CO.
Rev. Percy M. Dawscn, recently de-
posed as pastor of the Unitarian
church In this city, has Issued a
lengthy statement in which he de-
clares he sacrificed himself to a
backward church.
Mr.. Dawson declares the Ann
Arboe church has fallen behind the
other progressive churches In the
thoughts and needs OF the times, but
expresses the hope that the conyul-
sion in which he has played part
may be the means Of bringing about
new era. This will probably be
the result OF the trouble, he says
but only at the expense OF another
minister or two
The church has been recognized
az conservative for 20 years or more,
Rev. Dawson says. and the breach
between IL and the other churches
in the conference has been slowly
broadening all the time. AS the re-
suit, when a new minister comes
with new ideas. the conservative
element Is soon aroused, the pastor
is called a politician, fanatic, So
Icialistic and irreligious, and trouble
starts at once.

UNCLE SAM IS KEPT

Undesirable Animals As Well AS

In India and other parts OF the
world there is little animal known
as the mongoose. 1t Is more pro-
life than the English sparrow or
the guinea pig. II is more destruc-
tive to crops than the rat. the mole
or the prairie dog. 1t Is so pesti-
ferrous that price Is placed upon
wherever IL appears. In Hindu
stan II is kept In many houses
10 rid them of reptiles and other
vermin. 1t Is such quick little
scamp that a snake runs poor
chance with II in a free fight. IL
eats snakes and grows fat on them.
All this has led the Hindoos to be-
lieve II immune from snake poison.
Science has shown, however, that
its immunity lies in its ability to
dodge the snakes fangs.
There is law which prohibits the
mongoose from landing I'm this
country, and great watchfulness Is
exercised to see that IL Is kept out.
Not long ago one was landed sur
reptitiously In Everett, Washington.
II was discovered and killed by the
federal authorities a few weeks
later. This incident shows in what
strange ways Uncle Sam is at work

Representative Joseph Knowland,

has directed attention to the fact that
the Nra-tsions refer to any railroad

He said the Canadian transcontin-

you consider necessary for improve
ment on the Pere Marquette to enable
ii to be operated as II should be to
perform its public duties and Its
duties to the stock and bondholders %
said Attorney III. NJ Campbell.
Mr.. Cotter then gave list OF the
things needed, including 80 miles of
9O-pound rails. to cost $536,000.
These are TO be used on the main
line between Detroit and Saginaw"
said Mr. Cotter, and the rails now In
use there will be put on the Grand
Rapids-Bay View division. The rails
taken up there will be put on the
branches where there are now So
pound rails which have been declared
unsafe for trafic by the railroad com
mission
The list of immediate requirements
also includes engine houses in Port
Huron, Toledo and Ludington. to cost
$4,000; coaling plants in Saginaw
and other points to cost 100000, yards
in Port Huron, and Toledo to cost
$4,000, and new depots In Ludington,
Port Huron. and st. Joseph.
If We don't get authority to build
these stations from the court we will
get orders from the lailroad commits
sion by wire" added Mr.. Cotter.
The equipment requirements listed
were 40 lomocotives, 35 for freight
service, 40 cabooses. wrecking train
and a ditching machine. Permission
TO scrap 30 locomotives which are
obsolete was also asked for. The new
equipment would cost $1,109,SO0.
The total expenditure required for
improvements amounts to
a little over 100000 said Mr.. Cotter.
The receivers asked for instructions
on the payment of certain current ex-
penses which were not covered in the
original order appointing them, such
as advertising expenses, medical
charges, telegraph tolls, legal ex-
expenses, etc. The receivers were
held not liable to pay claims arising
out OF personal injuries.
In connection with the request for
permission to pay the interest on the
and West Michigan bonds a
letter from Newman Erb, one OF the
receivers, was read In which he stated
that the Pere Marquette road Is fully
able 10 pay operating costs and inter
est on underlying bonds, the integrity
OF which would not be disturbed by
any reorganization, however drastic.
w. w. Grape, a Dondholder, wrote
that no certificates should be issued
which would impair the rights of the
bondholders, and suggested
that all certificates which may be
issued in the future should be subject
to the claims OF the underlying bond
holders.
Judge Angel took the recommends
tons under advisement and stated that
he would issue his orders within a day
or two.

COMMITTEE NOT TO WAIT
FOR BROOKS FIGURES
Will Fix Freight Car Tax On
Basis of Accountants
Report

The council committee on judi
eiary decided, Monday morning. not
20 await 60 days for General Mana
ger Brooks TO submit a report show
ing the net earnings of the ID. u, X. 5
freight business. The committee ac-
cepted as correct the statement OF
City Accountant Bullock that the
company's net average earnings for
a round trip OF a freight car ID $23.
Al. Bullock has been working on
the reports OF the ID. u. r. for sew
eral weeks and he assured the COM
mittee that the figures Brooks will
submit will not vary percepubly
from those Bullock submitted. In
this he was backed up by Maynard
ID. Follin, who assured the aldermen
that Bullock was substantially cor
rect" Follin was asked later by q
Times reporter where ne got his fig-
ures and he replied that he has them
for ''all the railroads" The impress
sion prevailed that Follin was in
some way representing the ID. U. r..
Bullock's latest figures show the
net earnings for round trip to be
$5.0S in advance of the figures he
recently gave out. Figured on the
mileage basis he now says the net
earnings per car in Detroit are $2.34.
Before he estimated the net earnings
at $1.S3. He said he ran across
something" In the reports TO make
him increase the figures. The total
net earnings per year. lie figured at
1885, 1865. Bullock informed the
