Thanks are due to an Eastern The.

He has enabled the public to set q
line on some of our national charac-

the transmigration OF souls. They
do not precisely dote on the poem,

run back through some thousands Of
years ago and trace character to its
latest development under the Taft
administration.
Thus the lecturer assures Us thst
Taft himself Is reincarnation Of the
Roman Emperor Augustus, and that
John D. Rockefeller was formerly q

With a grim determination TO thresn
out the question OF a track storage

about 100 Detroit shippers, represent
ing all lines OF business, met with the
Michigan railroad commission in the
Board OF Commerce rooms, Friday,
Chairman Glasgow, of the commns

at 10 O'Clock and the shippers voteG
that they would not adjourn lo'
luncheon.
rhe case OF the shippers, who are
D, otesting against the proposed track
storage charge of IS day, was pre-
scented by Arthur l.. Holmes, who dis
claimed any bitterness against thu
railroads. and denied making aLy
charges that the transportation bureau
OF the Board OF Commerce is too faV-
orable TO the railroad interests. he
stated that he simply asked for treat
ment that would be fair. and charged
the railroads with failing TO provide
the proper facilities for handling
freight.
f. l.. Richmond, OF the f. l.. Rich
mond Co, a dealer in hay and pota
toes, asked for an extension OF the
time for the placing OF the track st1r
age charge TO five days. three days
after the free time at present allowed.
F. H. Hoffman, of the Detroit Cop
per & Brass Rolling Mills, question
ed the attitude of the railroads on tie
proposed new charge. claiming that
they had denied the jurisdiction OF
the railroad commission on the mat

TO cut down their revenue. and chose
to follow the code OF the interstate
commerce commission.

railroads they are willing TO accede

With the townships and all the
Detroit wards recounted except
the Fourteenth, Sixteenth and
Eighteenth, one district of the Tenth
and four OF the Eleventh, the woman
suffrage amendment had lost 1902
votes at noon Friday.
Just before adjourning for the
noon recess. the county canvassing
board went into executive session
and decided not to bring In its re-,
port until Monday. This will give
the attorneys for the suffragists an
opportunity To appeal to the supreme
court for a mandamus To compel the
cnnvassing board to throw out the
uninitialed ballots or 10 begin what
ever action they may decide o do.
Attorney Paul Weadock, for the
suffrage party. said Friday noon that
no decision as TO the future course
OF the suffragists had been reached.
II the uninitialed ballots In the
districts thus far counted are thrown
cut, the suffrage amendment will
show a gain OF 1903. Subtracting
from this the loss which has been
shown by the recount, a net gain of
4O1 is shown to date. AS the suf-
frage amendment was lost In all
Michigan by but about 500. IL may
yet be possible that suffrage will be
declared winner by action OF the
supreme court.
Big and inexplicable changes In
several precincts were shown by Fri
