Capt. Inglis, Who is Visit

Are Destructive and Rev.
olutionary

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, Aug. TO-
Unless lightning strikes Woodrow
Wilson, he will be obliged TO be the
next president OF the United States"
Thus spoke Captain John L. Inglis,
who, besides being the leading pro-
ducer OF phosphate In the United
States, has been for many years q
leader in the political life of the
south. His home is at Jacksonville,
Fla. Captain Inglis commanded a
regiment in the Confederate army
during the civil war He is known
as yachting enthusiast, owning the
Tuna, probably the most elegantly ap-
pointed boat plying salt water
MY opinion Is that Wilson will
carry the southern states without ex-
|ception, make inroads into eastern
states as we'll and probably carry
California Washington and a num-
ber of other western states. II looks
to me now like veritable landslide.
I'VE love Wilson not because B.
was originally a Georgia man-that
spirit of sectionalism Is almost who'll
ly dead in the south. We are for him
because we believe he is the greatest
Democrat today"
Il don't pay any attention to Roose-
welt. | believe that on sober second
thought the people will vote for VIII
son or Mr. Taft" said Captain Inglis.
"Roosevelt's ideas are destructive and
Revolutionary and he would make
himself dictator In so days II he
could.
I'm Wilson the party Is progressive
and it is united as never before, and
1t is not difficult To predict a Demo
cratic victory, which will be VIC
tory not alone for Democracy hut for

AS stated in The Times, Friday,
the arrest OF the IL aldermen, includ-
ing nine not previously arrested. was
due TO the fact that E. r. Schreiter,
Jr, secretary Of the council commit
tees. 3squealed" on them a second
supplementing his first statement
with additional particulars.
There Is no longer any doubt that
Schreiter intends to turn states evE
dence In court and assist the prose-
cutor in convicting the aldermen As
no warrant has been sworn out
against Schreiter the inference Is
that he will be given immunity az
far as Is possible, and appear In the
trials as the states chief witness.
Prosecutor Shepherd was not In
clined to give any one credit for the
arrests, Friday. except himself. He
asserted that Detective Brennor had
no hand in the arrests Brennon went
to Chicago, Friday afternoon, to con-
suit his chief. w. j. Burns.
That Schreiter made an extended
confession after his arrest, July 26,
was asserted by Mayor Thompson,
who said he had been given q copy
Of the confession, but found II $50
yoluminous" that he did not read II
through. II was stated that In this
confession he had involved other al
/ dermen., than The nine originally ar.
rested and that they would be nabbed
later. Thursday, Detective Brennon
informed The Times that he had q
confession from Schreiter.
| 1t appears now that Mr.. Shepherd
got a second statement from Schrei-
ter; covering over so pages OF type
written matter This statement Is
said to have been made to Shepherd
last Saturday evening in a room I'm
the Hotel PontchaTtrain, a stenog-
rapher taking down the statement OF
the committee secretary. The state
ment Is an elaboration on his origin
al confession and Shepherd wanted
to hear the story from Schreiter's
own lipe as he had not been active
IN the case until several days after
the original arrests were made.
Just what Schrefter told the prose-
cutor Is mystery as neither Schrei-
ter nor Shepherd will divulge the In
formation.
Shepherd reiterated his oft.repeat-
ed assertions, Friday, that he will
prosecute the aldermen without fear
or favor. He 'embellished 1t by say
ing that II any one has been guilty OF
grating durfing the last six years
he had better quake In his shoes, as
Shepherd is going to get him.

With Apparent In
difference
Milne was brought before Judge
Phelan, Saturday morning, and
sentenced to. life In Jackson
prison.

Fred Milne, 19.year-old slayer OF
Patrolman Lloyd Robinson, was con-
victed OF homicide In the fire degree
Friday afternoon by the jury in Judge
Phelans s court which heard his case.
The jury was out only SO minutes.
Milne accepted the verdict without
trace OF emotion. He maintained
the stolid, almost sullen demeanor
that has marked him since the begin
ming of the trial. through which his
father and mother sat, also stolid,
and making little show OF emotion.
Mrs. Ella Robinson, widow OF the
slain officer, was also In court when
the verdict was rendered. She glanc-
ed toward Mines mother, with look
of pity, and then stared straight at
her husbands slayer.
Milne was led across TO the county
Jail, followed by a curious crowd. He
puffed away at a cigarette and calm
ly surveyed the crowd about him.
Judge Phelan will probably SEN
