fort 10 secure the passage, Tuesday
night, of his resolution providing for
the forfeiture OF the old Detroit Rail

within 80 days, improves the service

tension OF it's franchises TO pass the
resolution giving 1t 80 days in which

This is substantially the same reso-

STATE COMMISSION
PROBES PHONE RATES

LANSING, Mich, Feb. 21.-Dis-
elimination in telephone rentals is be-
ing Investigated by the state railroad
commission. Daily protests are fled
from various parts OF the state by
persons who claim that the compan-
les are taking advantage OF those who
are compelled TO use the service.
There was an act passed at the last
session OF the legislature prohibiting
discrimination on the part of teie
phone companies. and IL is said that a
majority Of the corporations are in
clined to obey the letter OF the law.
However. some OF them are inform
ing their patrons that they are Simply
complying with the orders of the
state railroad commission, but as a
matter Of fact, the commission has
-neither ordered nor approved any
raise in rates by telephone companies.
Under the statute the commission is
empowered 10 supervise any increase
in rates.
From some OF the small indepen-
dent companies il has been learned
that the officers OF these corporations
are securing service at a lower rate
than is charged the regular patrons.
This is construed By the commission
as violation OF the law, as the stat
uie provides that stockholders and
officers shall pay the same rental as
the general public.

Advent of Lent For
Roman Catholics

Whereas formerly the 40 days OF
tpenance, abstinence and fasting
which the Christian calendar calls
Lent and which begins on Ash We'd
Iesday was observed only by the
Roman Catholic and Episcopal
churches, in the present day, Protes-
itaDt denominations OF all kinds take
lcognizance OF the period which is
made a season OF special religious
ef,oIt and service
The Roman Catholics attended ear
! ly Ash Wednesday masses and will
keep the day in strict fasting. The
Episcopal churches all hold Ash,

the other churches OF the city special
evening services will be held TO EN-
phasize the religious aspect and

Charles ID. Williams told a large
gathering OF men, Tuesday evening.
i'm the Woodward-ave. Baptist church,
in the second annual rally of the
movement forces The soul OF the
movement is in the teachings OF God
and the paramount feature Is the
work of the evangelistic committee
The first work is to set the

it, To accomplish this We must
( lift of the loads from the adverse
conditions in mems lives by bringing

part OF our religious work. or should

Following Bishop Williams. ad-
dresses were made by the Rev. An

Reports read by Or. Studer OF the

that the efforts put forth at that time

ANN ARBOR WILL VOTE
ON QUESTION OF BUYING
WATER WORKS SYSTEM
49,
Question of Paying $4,000 For
System W BeBeeided-
By Ballot
SUPPLY is INADEQUATE
Fire Protection in Some Parts of
City Is Entirely
Impossible
SUPPLY is INADEQUATE

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Feb. 2l.-Ar
event OF considerable interest Is
scheduled for April l, at which time
the people OF Ann Arbor will vote on
the question OF purchasing the water
works plant which supplies the city
and the university with water. FoT
years the water supply OF the city
has been In the hands OF a private
corporation, and il has not Kept up
with the growth Of the city. In re-
cent years the water supply in the
summer has been inadequate TO such
an extent that fire protection In some
parts of the city has been entirely
impossible. Last year the water
company, in an effort 10 FURNISH
enough water to supply the demand
began taking water from the Huron
river. and for a time an outbreak OF
typhoid fever was feared as uni
yersity experts found colon bacilli In
the water, and for months the uni.
yersity campus was posted with Doll
the water" placards.
In view of the fact that the COM
pany's franchise expires in 1915 the
company has been backward about
making improvements, the franchise
providing that the city may buy the
plant at the end Of that period, and
there has been fear that the use OF
river water might result in epidemics
of contagious diseases. Now the city
proposes to buy the plant at the COM
panys figure, $535,000, and council
has ordered a special election to be
kcld on April /. II the proposition
carries the city will extend the sys-
TEN and doubtless build slow sand
filter in order that the river water
may be properly purified.

GRAND RAPIDS REJECTS
COMMISSION FORM RULE
The Plan Advocated by Mayor
Ellis Is Voted Down,
6,872 to 5,685

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. 21.-
The voters rejected the proposed char
ter and commission form of govern
ment yesterday by vote OF 6,s72 to
5,6S5 and decided 10 continue the old
system of political rule. Mayor
George E. Ellis, Republican, advocated
the proposed charter. He 10 opposed
for denomination by George r. Perry
former mayor, who recently resigned
as city assessor 10 seek the nomina
ton. Perry opposed the charter.
The charter was the work OF the
charter, commission which worked
over It's provisions for several months
before submitting II at the special
election today. The heavy vote against
the charter was at the fifth, sixth
and seventh wards, which contain q
large foreign element The fight has
been exceedingly bitter. The major
ity against the charter was 1887. The
normal voting strength OF this city is
about $4,000.
The proposed charter incorporated
the initiative, referendum, recall. civil
services, control OF rates OF public
utilities and non-partisan elections.
The forces aligned against the In
strument were widely divergent and
included the Liberal league. the liquor
mems organization at one extreme
and the Fas ct Jus. the Holland
church society at the other. The
charter carried but four out OF the
twelve wards and but twelve out OF
80 precincts.
The campaign was one OF the most
bitterly fought In many a day. Every
newspaper. both daily and weekly
was lines up in support OF the char.
