OSBORN ANSWERS LATEST
ATTACK BY SHIELDS
Says Chairman Knox Wrote
Letter, But He (Osborn) Did
Not Solicit Funds

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 25.-Follow.
Ing the statements made by Robert H.
Shields that Chairman Knox, OF the
Republican state central committee
Asked him to raise q campaign fund
In the upper peninsula. Governor Os-
born, gave out the following interview
this noon:
'The letter from Mr.. Knox to Mr..
Shields is ancient history. Mr.. Knox
and others wished me to be candi-
date for governor and made certain
offers to raise funds. That was early
In the consideration OF the matter.
Later when l seriously decided to per.
init the use of my name as candi-
date / called Mr.. Knox, Mr.. Oates, and
Mr.. Palmer, who had started organic
ing work, notified them OF my desire
TO obey the letter and spirit of the
primary law and directed them to do
the same thing. | did not solicit or
receive a subscription.
THE question of political methods
of yesterday Is one thing, the ques-
ton of Mr.. Shields unfitness for the
place he occupies is another. No one
will contend that Mr.. Knox Is the
governor Of Michigan. He, my friend,
is as honest as MONDAY and am
proud of him as such. The issue to-
day is Mr. Shields attack at the In
stigation Of the brewery association 4
attorney and II will not be lost sight
Of in sidelights that have no prin-
cipal bearing. Meanwhile, l suppose
my opponents will vent upon me
their anger in many ways. l am per-
fectly willing TO take It all IL the
state can be relieved OF big brewery
rule and the destructive domination
OF brewery-owned saloons"

D. U. R. BLAMED FOR DEATH
OF MAN At DANGEROUS POINT
Held Responsible In Case of w.
r. Perry, Killed at Wood
ward. and Atwater

A jury ia Coroner Rothacher's court
Thursday morning, held the ID. U. R,
responsible for the death of William
r. Perry, the wealthy fruit grower, OF
New York state, killed under q Third
car al Atwater-st. and Woodward-ave.,
Jan. 8.
The "Y'' where the fatal accident
occurred has long been considered one
OF the most dangerous places In the
city, and IL was the intention OF Cor
oner Rothacher to inquire into the
right OF the street railway company
TO turn cars as IL does at this busy
corner, but Corporation Counsel Law
son failed to respond to two requests
for an opinion as to the rights OF the
ID. u. r., and the coroner was unable
TO go into the matter.
Mr.. Lawson was asked by Coroner
Rothacher a week ago, so the latter
says, to have such an opinion pre-
pared, and when II was not ready last
Monday. the inquest, which was called
for that day, was postponed until
Thursday.
The evidence in the hearing devel-
oped nothing new, No one saw Mr..
Perry fall under the car. He was
seen to get on the car when II. stopped
at Atwater-st., and few seconds later
he was seen clinging TO the handle OF
the car as II was backing on the
curve TO woodward-ave. Two men
who saw Mr. Perry clinging to handle
shouted to the motorman, but before
the car stopped the man had rolled
under the wheels.
The verdict OF the jury follows:
we find that the mode Of operating
cars at this point Is menace to the
safety of the public, and we urge that
Immediate steps he taken to insure
10 the public greater safety az this
corner, and we hold the ID. u. X. re-
sponsible for the death or William X,
Perry"

WINS OTHERS TO VIEWS

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The man up
on whom Gov. Woodrow Wilson is
depending In his effort to obtain the
support OF the New York Democracy
for his presidential candidacy Is
United States Senator James Aloysius
O'Goiman. Concrete and convincing
evidence of this fact has come to the
notice of the New York Democratic
leaders with the last three or four
days. II has created something OF q
sensation among Tammany men who
think they have very good reason to
believe that the candidate favored by
Tammany Leader Murphy Is Gov
Judsor Harmon OF Ohio.
That a strong bond OF friendship
and sympathy has existed between the
New Jersey governor and the junior
senator from New York has been
Known for some time by Democratic
colleagues of Senator O'Gorman. Re-
cent developments have established
the fact that Gov. Wilson has sought
the advice and counsel of Senator
.O'Gorman on several occasions re-
garding the expediency OF several
steps he has contemplated.
Sought His Advice in Controversy.
The most recent illustration of the
value placed upon the advice OF Sen
stor O'Gorman by Gov. Wilson was
the matter OF Col. Harvey's support
or non-support OF Gov. Wilson in
Harper's Weekly. Following the pub
LEGATION of the versions Of what &C
tually occurred at the Manhattan
Club luncheon at which the matter
was taken up, the governor was at a

Thursday last, the governor had 1t
in mind to contribute to the existing
literature on the subject a version Of
his own. There Is the best of reasons
to justify the assertion the governor
had prepared a statement giving his
version of the incident. That state
ment had been completed and finally
revised when Cow Wifson got in
touch with Senator 0'Gorrnan& and
asked his opinion regarding the pro-
priety OF making II public.
Senator O'Gorman strongly advised
the Now Jersey governor to withhold
his statement until the actual impor-
