RULES AGAINST STATE
IN IONA PRISON CASE
Supreme Court Decides To Dis
miss Wallenstein Suit
$4,000 Judgment Involved

LANSING, Mich, March 29.-In an
opinion rendered this morning, the
supreme court denied motion OF
Atty. Gen. Kuhn to dismiss the action
against Warden Otis Fuller and the
Michigan reformatory at Ionia, in con-
nection with judgment entered
against the institution for s22 200 fol-
lowing the annulment of a contract
With the Edward Wallenstein Co., a
few years ago.
The action taken by the state was
founded on the repeal of section 2091
of the compiled laws of 1897 under
which the suit was brought and prose-
cuted against the Ionia prison in the
circuit court Of Jackson county a few
years ago@It will =be recalled that
Edward -Mallenstein- & Co.. entered
into contract with Warden Fuller,
Dec. II. 1897, for the manufacture or
shirts and the employment OF prison
labor at that institution, the terms
of the contract to continue until May
/, 1908.
nact the board of control of Ionia
prison, declared the contract for
feited and terminated the agreement
which had previously existed with
Wallenstein and elected all his iools
afkd machinery from the institution.
Shortly after this action was taken
he began suit to recover damages for
breach of contract in the circuit court
OF Ionia county. That suit was dis
continued March 1S, 1904, and shortly
afterwards was continued in Wayne
county, but later was transferred to
tie circuit court of Jackson county.
The case was tried before jury,
where a verdict was returned against
the state amounting to $4,000.
Six days time was granted to War
den Fuller to settle a bill of excep-
tions which was extended by the
court, the bill finally being settled
aud signed May %, 1911. On a writ
ofJerror, the case was brought to the
supreme court.
However, at the session Of 1911 the
law under which the suit was instt-
tuted. was repealed. making II i'm
possible for the company to start pro-
ceedings against the warden. II was
the contention of the encouragement
that inasmuch as the old law had
been repealed the judgment for S22,-

that the suit is against the state and

ALBERT LEA, Mimi, March 29.
Here in the home district Of the
man he has most frequently assailed
on the stump, Former Congressman
"Jim" Tawney, Col. Roosevelt today
discussed the tariff, repeating in al
most its entirety his tariff speech
made at Sioux Falls on September .,
1910. Roosevelt, at that time said
in part:
"Our tariff should be such a meas

cost of production here and abroad

up for the difference In labor cost

but 1t does not want to see the tarifi
so arranged as to benefit primarily

Roosevelt then indorsed the tarifi
commission idea as the only method
whereby q proper bill could be
framed, and in conclusion said:

vision OF the schedules, or in any
future arrangement whatsoever af-

interest Of the farmer and the wage

Rep. McEachern, of Mackinac,
Offers Bill To Abolish

From a Staff Correspondent.


LANSING, Mich, March 29--The
feature OF the brief session in the
mousse this morning was the introduc-
tion OF a resolution by Rep. McEach-
ern, or the Mackinac district, pro-
viding for the determination of the
senate. The incident precipitated con-
siderable talk. Although the member
offered the resolution in the nature OF
joke, he is firm believer on the
proposition that a state senate is an
unnecessary evil.
But few senators and representa-
tives are left at the capitol, and there
has been general hiking for home
and election.
There are but few important bills
pending now, and II Is anticipated
that the legislature will be able to
complete the second extra session job
next week.

up TO third reading and final passage
In the house.
The saloon bonding matter in the
senate is chained in the insurance
committee but may be forced out
with the possibility that bill may

house the Knight bonding bill, which
let's down the bars for general COM
petition, is on the regular order for
passage. The Field personal bond
bill is expected to be offered as sub
stitute but Is hardly expected to pass.
The fish net bill has passed the
senate and wifi probably pass the
house with little or no opposition.
| The city and village charter con-
stitutiona, amendment resolution is
pending, and ii is thought there may
be some fight on this matter. The
armories bill Is to be disposed OF. A
legislator not particularly friendly TO
the governor was heard TO give an
opinion this morning that Mr.. Osborn
would be a candidate to succeed him
self and that he would win.
There was no quorum In the senate
this morning. The house met and ad-
journed and the legislature stands ad-
journed until o'clock, Tuesday even

CLAIMS HUSBANDS
LOVE STOLEN; SUES

Charging that the affections of her
husband had been stolen, Mrs. Lulu
w. Utman began suit for $4,000, in
Judge Mandell's court, Friday, against
Minnie Mcdonald, who Is also known
as Nellie Burse and Mrs. ID. w.
Herbison. The defendant Is now a
resident of Los Angeles, and was not
present in court to contest the suit,
but is represented by Attorneys De-
vine and Snyder.
The defense does not deny that the
plaintiffs husband and the defendant
lived together for some time. but they
will attempt to show that Utman
passed himself off as a single man
and went by the name of ID. w.
Herbison, thus deceiving the de-
fendant.

Suffrage Only Bill
Thar Gets Recognition
From a staff oorrespondent.

LANSING, Mich. March 29.-The
second extra session OF the legisla-
ture attained its. climax, Thursday af-
ternoon when the house by the over
whelming majority of 75 to 10, In
dorsed the concurrent resolution pro-
viding for the submission of an equal
suffrage amendment to a direct vote
OF the people at the general election
In November. The senate had al
ready adopted the resolution and with
the signature of the governor assured,
the cause of votes for women" has
won its first big battle, and has but
one more to win.
The completion of the roll call on
the final vote with the certainty that
the necessary two-thirds majority had
been secured, was the signal for a
general demonstration. A large num-
ber of guests of both sexes lined the
sides OF the chamber and thronged
the gallery. Cheer after cheer went
up from the great mixed chorus oil
wild enthusiasts and the scene OF un-
bridied animation was one seldom
witnessed In the haifs or Michigan
legislation.
And then as the demonstration con-
tinued and the popularity OF the equal
suffrage proposition became more and
more apparent, 1t was fun to watch
some of the policy fellows who had
voted mo-" fall over each other In
a mad scramble to get In the band
wagon. In other words, they wanted
to defeat the measure IL they could.
and IL they couldn't do that, they
wanted to be counted as in favor OF

BY comparison with such, hats on
to the fellows who had the courage
to vote mo" and stand by their guns.
The suffrage question came on as
special order for the third reading
at 2 o'clock, and soon after the mat
ter was taken up, Rep. Flowers moved
