POINTS TO DEFECTS IN
ROOStvELT'S IMPUTATION
Charge That Bosses Ruled in
Baltimore Not Supported,
Says James Schermerhorn

YPSILANTI, sept. 7.-Reviewing
the work OF the three leading con
yentions from the viewpoint of an i'm.
partial newspaper chronicler. James
Schermerhorn, publisher of The De-
troit Times, told the Ypsilanti Grange
this afternoon, that he had always
conceded Theodore Roosevelt's power
as a moral force and had never
questioned his sincerity until he de-
clared that the Baltimore convention
was dominated by the same elements
that prevailed In the Republican con.
vention.
Ii Mr.. Roosevelt's treatment of the
Standard Oil contribution disclosures
Is not more accurate than this, Mr..
Schermerhorn said. his version OF the
scandal would not be entitled TO ac-
ceptation by the country.

ALDERMEh'S GRATING
IS JUST PIKER'S GAME
: COMPARED TO THIS ONE
Grand Trunk Crews Pocket
Switching Charges Running
Into Thousands
DETECTIVES ARE AT WORK
Wholesale Arrests and Dismis-
sails Expected When Drag
net is Hauled in

While Detroit is on the verge OF
nervous .prostration from the reyela
tion that some aldermen were graft
ing, in "piker' amounts from $lOj up,
tlVe Grand Trunk railroad is quietly
working up a graft revelation oil its
own which will run into thousands OF
collars. and probably result in whole
sale dismissals and arrests.
Detectives and stool pigeons
among the employees themselves are
weaving a dragnet which is apt 10 DC
Eauied AT any moment, revealing a
graft scandal that puts the aldermanlc
rIker game TO the blush.
IL is alleged that for more than
TIN ee years. the railroad has been
defTauded OF thousands OF dollars In
switching charges. certain engine and
train crews collecting money without
communicating with the offices at all
ana splitting the switching charges up
among themselves, while also grant
inc rebates TO officials OF big manu-
featuring firms who are alleged TO be
IN on" the secret.
Every time a car, consigned TO a
local factory, is attached TO yard
engine and switched into the private
side track of some factory or yard.
there is a charge OF S. for switching.
due 10 the railroad
II is alleged that hundreds OF cars
have been hauled into such sidetracks
by train crews, who never notified the
head Offices OF the switching, and ran
a regular account with the firms fof
which they hauled the cars, collecting
al. the charges themselves, and split
ting up the money. Instead OF charg
ing the consignee s. for each car, the
crew would charge only $3.50 or IS
or that amount, the railroad would re-
oeive not a cent.
Then, at the end OF a month, the
crew would present its bill TO the per-
sen in charge at the factory, and be
raid of, the amount often running TO
three figures, In cases of large plants
where many cars are hauled In.
II is said that certain car crew, now
under surveillance. grew greedy in its
pursuit of the graft, and the railroad
maTveled how large factory could
get along with such low switching
charges. An investigation followed
and from several crews placed under
surveillance, II was found that the sys
TEN was so widespread that no one
was discharged or arrested, but pri'
vate detectives, railroad officials and
some OF the employees themselves were
2nt TO work to get evidence. which Is
still being collected.
That the grating will run into the
thousands was the admission made BY
a Grand Trunk Official, Saturday.
II is also alleged that there Is the
familiar element OF a search for the
IMAM higher up" and II Is said that
when the big disclosure Is made, II
will extend far above the heads OF the
grating car crews. and into the Offices
OF the road.

mill owners plan 10 resume opera
tions. Monday morning, and trouble

thorne people TO the effect that IL
would not be necessary for them to
sign up the eight-hour agreement with
the union, providing the orders from
the other mills would not be filed
He claims that the mill has broken
the agreement from the first, and that
II was found necessary to call out the

The unionists at their meeting yester-
day stated that it would be a fight to
a finish.
