certain. Not only would Col. Roose
Welt be much easier To beat than Pres
ident Taft, but the whole situation
created by this sudden inteUection OF
Mr.. RooseAelt's candidacy will go far
TO assure the success Of the Democratic
party at tina polls. The Republican
party, it seems TO me, willDbe split wide
open withlPresldentl'Taftj leadingHthe
conservatives and Col. Roosevelt the
so-called progressive wing.
"No matter who is nominated the
Roosevelt candidacy will make more
certain the defeat of the nominee"
michigan however, has a large fol-
lowing for Roosevelt. The farmers did
not like Taft's policy on reciprocity but
Roosevelt was in favor of that policy
also, so honors are even on that score.
A Detroit politician says: Roosevelt is
the choice of the rank and file of the
party. l think President Taft has
made good as far as his platform
pledges are concerned, but the people
have lost confidence in him. Roose-
welt is a big man. He is not afraid TO
stand right up for what he thinks is
right. If he is elected, he will restore
the confidence that is now lacking, and
believe the most prosperous times we
ever had would be the result. That is
why ] am strong for Roosevelt"

Time has dealt kindly with Mrs
Valentine Jacoby one of the respected
and much loved pioneers of Miriam
who with the weight of ninety year.
resting upon her is still able TO gel
around lively and take much interest
in the cares and doings OF her home
and family life.
She is living on the old farm with
her son Joseph p. Jacoby, her husband
Valentine Jacoby having passed away
several years ago. Tuesday February
10th, 1912 was the anniversary of her
birth and it being the ninetieth an
niversary it was thought TO celebrate
it, In writing of il one of the guests
says:
The day was made great memorial
event in her honor by her children and
grandchildren, who were all present,
with the exception of her eldest daught-
er. Mrs. Phillip Schafer, of Detroit.
wfo, unfortunately, happens to be
Sc pusly ill just now. The star of this
gr " festival was the presentation of a
be ntiful Grandmother's clock, made
and furnished by her son-in-law, A. II.
Crook of Detroit. The case, standing
seven feet high, is constructed of quart
er sawed oak, and the weight for the
chimes weighs sixteen pounds. The
other two weights are somewhat light
er. This beautiful piece OF furniture
reflects great credit on the artistic
genius of Mr.. Crook and is designed 10
remain an heirloom in the family of
Mrs. Jacoby's only son, who is so favor
ably popular in this vicinity that any
further comment is here quite unneces
sary.
Mrs. Jacoby, senior, a native of Ger
many; is undoubtly one of the oldest
pioneers in OF SEQ township, having
moved here more than fifty years ago,
and continued TO reside here ever since.
The good old lady is still hale and
hearty, and possesses wonderful mental
capabilities, and il is very interesting
to hear her relate accurately the story
of all the joys and sorrows, pleasures
and hardships she has experienced dur
ing her long career. In spite of her
great age, she is as ambitious as she
was quarter of a century ago, and is
never found idle. When not engaged
in reading, she is busy with one or an
other OF the various household duties.
Present at this rare festival were:
her daughter, Miss Mary Jacoby, Mr..
and Mrs. A. X. Crook of Detroit, the
entire family of her only son, Joseph
p. Jacoby, with whom she makes her
home and Geo. Leyes of Mishawaka,
Ind, the husband of one of her nieces,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Gondolf.
IL is needless To add that the con-
gratulations to the dear old lady were
many and OF the most heartfelt kind.
May she live 10 look at the beautiful
memorial timepiece and listen TO its
grand chimes for many a day to come
is the fond hope and sincere wish of all
near and dear to her.

The special session called by Gov.
Osborn is on and the Legislators have
heard the governors message asking
them 10 pass presidential preference
primary law, with immediate effect,
and workingmen's compensation
law.
In return both houses have asked the
attorney general for an opinion As 10
the legality of giving immediate effect
to such law, and the senate in addi-
tion has asked the executive TO place
before il the great mass of evidence in
favor of the immediate passage OF such
q law, which he asserts he has received
Bills for the primary law have been
introduced in both houses, and work
ingmen's compensation bill in the low
eT house.
The attorney general has decided af-
ter thorough looking up OF the Law
on the question of having the primary
act take immediate effect, that il can
be done legally. One clause of the law
recites that "the thirty Michigan dele
gates TO this years national convention
are TO be elected on charter election day,
which is April l.; any political party
that has had or will have presidential
candidates can have space on the prim-
aIy ballot.
A candidate for delegate can have his
name printed on the ballot, providing
he has n petition containing the names
of at least 100 electors living in the par
ucular congressional district where he
himself resides.
IL is evident that there will be clash
and stormy debate when the bill comes
up for final passage and it is conceded
by the Governor that the vote will be
close, but he is confident of winning
his point The employers liability
act has already been introduced in
the senate and will undoubtedly be
passed in some form. 1t is we'll known

message TO the Legislature asking that
the matters covered by these bills be

First Case Of Its Kind CON-

Commission

There is a mix-up in Williams
county, the result Of an error on the
part of equalization, and in order to
,nravel the skein of complications It
has become necessary for the tax
commission to step in and take
charge. ....
To begin with it has been discov.
cred that the water at Williston is
impure, hence it was decided to es-
tablish filtration plant-or at least
it was decided that it was necessary
that such be done. Owing to the fact
that the city was up to its debt linn
it, a plan was devised whereby three
good business heads were chosen to
assess the town, that it to appraise
all property, boost the valuation and
thereby extend the limit. This was
quite necessary and it was insisted
upon by the mayor and others. How.
ever when the county board or equal
ization met there was slash Of 20
per cent, after which the board ad-
1ourned.
The seriousness OF the situation
was realized when it was discovered
that there was hen left no resources
for money whatever, all money was
spent and nothing could be done to
remedy it. The board had adjourned
and was pOWerless to recOnvene and

Several Prominent New York
Police May Be Held for
BIaCkmail
Fear Of Death from Police
Keeps Many Gamblers
From 1estitying
.Jack' Rose Says lie IS
Ready to Identify Men
Who Killed ROsentbal
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Cumulative
evidence, piling up before the grand
jury investigating the police black
mail, is said today to involve four or
five high police officials, and it is
also said indictments will soon be
drawn.
The witnesses were examined by
District Attorney Whitman who gave
list of gamblers upon whom, he
charged, Police Lieutenant Becker
had levied blackmail.
Several gamblers were before the
public prosecutor and unwillingly
admitted they had paid blackmail to
certain inspectors. One of the wit
nesses told Whitman he had been
threatened with death if he went be-
fore the grand jury and gave infor-
nation about the police.
These witnesses said these inspect
ors dealt directly with the big gam
bling houses, leaving Becker to deal
with the smaller ones.
The district attorney said today evil
dence would be presented to the
grand Jury against several police In.
spectors. One of these inspectors is
said to have kept such close watch
on the gambling houses that he even
examined their books and forced them
to pay blackmail according to their
profits.
Bridge" Webber, now. admits ne
also collected toll from certain up
town gambling houses for police
inspector. Webber's life has been
threatened and Whitman has provid.
ed him with special guard.
"Jack" Rose has sent word to the
public prosecutor that he Is prepared
to identify the four murderers of Her
man Rosenthal. Until now Rose was
not ready to say he could positively
identify gunmen.
BY far the most interesting devel.
opment in many-sided investigation
into the Rosenthal murder, is the
news of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s,
quiet complimentary inquiry into the
conditions in the underworld, partic-
ularly as to the so-called white slave
traffic.
It is said Rockefeller through the
establishment of what purported to
be a disorderly house in the Tender
loin has gathered great deal of data.
1t was originally gathered for a re-
port to congress, but coincidentally It
dovetailed with the Rosenthal probe.
It is said the evidence was obtained
that the police inspe tor was getting
5000 monthly from such resorts for
protection.
