Statement From Mr.. Cox.

Another newspaper yesterday printed
a story to the effect that Mr. Potter was
looking for Mr.. Cox and intimated that
Mr.. Potter believed strange tactics had
been pursued to obtain the marriage IL

In reply to this Mr.. Cox yesterday sent
the following letter to The Star:

ON the contrary, it swells the legion of

how little the people as mass know
of the real aims and objects of an asso-

Members of the Arions and the Saenger-
bund exchanged visits in their respective
clubhouses to drink a final 'prosit.' for

the German clubs to evade or disobey

GERMAN CLUBS OBJECT
TO NEW EXCISE LAW
Prohibition of Sunday Privi-
Ieges Regarded as Unjust.
Views of Members.

Members of the German clubs Of the
city were somewhat disposed to take
a gloomy view of the future yesterday
because OF the operation of the law
which hereafter forbids the serving of
liquor in clubs on Sunday.
ITO no part of the community" said
Vice President William Wiegmann of
the Arion Singing Society, will the
new law come with more bitterness

spirit which prompts the injustice to

I'm the contending forces that clashed
over the legislation the German found

align ourselves with the prohibition ele-

Views Of Simon Wolf.
A letter written by Simon Wolf to the
German societies was the general topic
of conversation.
Mr.. VOLTS letter said in part as fol-
lows:
Il never believed that the day would
come during my lifetime when / would
have to say vale to the rational enjoy
ment of Sunday at the dear old Saenger-
bund. but the law recently enacted by
Congress makes 1t prohibitoIy for any
club or association to enjoy themselves
as in their Judgment is deemed best and
conducive TO bring about the real spirit
Of personal liberty.
II can see no chance of reaction, eX-
cept in the strict enforcement of the law
as it now stands for as Gen. Grant al
ways said: The only way TO have
bad Law repealed is to enforce it, The
hour will come when the better sense Of
the community will take an advance step
in the matter of Sunday enjoyment.

Wars Bitterness Over.
Those bitter days are Ger and what
may be said today is said with fullest
honor and appreciation for those whose
conscfences aligned them on the other
side Fields that ran red with blood in
the chill of cold November are green
with the harvest of July. Unity that
was once merely constitutional has given
way to unity that is both constitutional
and loved. North and south each honor
the others rebellion heroes There Is no
statue In this hall upon whose granite
pedestal ! would more gladly place
wreath of esteem and affection than that
of the great Robert +. Lee. What we
say of the record of this man to whom
this day is dedicated is merely the un-
changeable story of history which must
be told as il occurred. And it is from
the picture of fearlessness and courage
and uncompromising conviction which the
story yields that one may catch the rea-
son why this particular favorite son has
earned Michigan's belated favor at this
hour
Following Mr. vanderbergs address.
Lieut. Gov Ross presented the statue on
the part of the state of Michigan
Tribute of Lieut.. Gov. Ross.
Lieut.. Gov. Ross paid an eloquent
tribute to "Old Zach" and told of how
he had been one of the founders of the
republican party and leader in national
affairs for a number of years.
Former Justice II. Il. Brown of the
United States Supreme Court was to
have received the statue on behalf of
the government, but was unable TO be
present, and sent a letter in which he
praised the character and deeds Of Sen
ator Chandler.
In the absence of Justice Brown, SEN
ator Gallinger of New Hampshire, in
which state Senator Chandler was born,
accepted the statue for the government.
He told Of Chandler's early life in New
Hampshire and of how he struggled TO
make place for himself in the world
He declared that New Hampshire is
proud to have sent such a man to
Michigan.
Mrs. Mary C. Hale Senator Chambers
daughter. was prevented from attending
the exercises because OF the illness OF
her husband, former Senator Hale OF
Maine.
The statue was provided for by the
Michigan legislature. and sculptured by
Charles III. Niehaus. A commission made
up Of Mr. Vandenberg, Charles NJ. Green
way and Kirk b. Alexander had charge
of the erection of the statue. 1t is said
admirably to portray the rugged features
Of Senator Chandler.

BUILDING FOR SPACE.
Advantages Of the Square House,
Round Barn.
From the Pathfinder.

From the Pathfinder.
Many people who build houses. barns
and other buildings do not understand
the fundamental rule that there is more
space in a square building than in long
one. and that the further they depart
from the square form the more their
building will cost in proportion to it's
size.
For instance. a building 20 by 20 feet
will have 400 feet Of floor space and will
require 80 feet of wall. while one 10 by
40 feet WILL with the same floor space,
require 100 feet of wall Accordingly,
more material and work will be required
for the longer building.
In many cases. Of course. there are OBJ
jections to having building square. The
longer building, for instance, gives more
wall space and more light, and that may
be an important item. The roof and floor
items are about the same in either case.
Theoretically a round building will be
still more economical than a square one,
and, II such thing were practicable. a
spherical building would be the most
economical OF all. for the reason that a
sphere has more space inside it in pro-
portion to its exposed surface than any
other possible form Of construction.
J. l.. Dean. Maine former. has built
a barn on this principle. He thinks 1t Is
q success. especially az 1t allows an ex-
ira amount of loft room. A Washington
man some years ago built himself a round
house, thinking to save money. but theory
is one thing and practice Is another and
his house was a poor investment.
The reason why all buildings are con-
structed on rectangular lines is that ex-
perience has proved them to be more eco
nomical. The circular form OF construc-
ton involves vast additional amount
Of work In the framing and there IS also
a big waste Of material.
What Is gained in room is many times
more than made up in the increased cost
of labor Builders find that a circular
porch on a house will cost double what
q rectangular one would cost. Farmers
build circular silos and they are eco
nomical but they are built on the prin-
clple OF a tank or barrel, and this prin-
ciple does not apply to houses, barns and
such buildings.

New Fire Engine for Paris.
rom the New York Times

From Tue New 1Ork Times.
An interesting new type of automobile
fire engine for Paris has just been de-
cided upon bly, the municipal council. The
machine will be of specially light con-
struction, and will carry four men only.
but will be fitted with a large tank con-
tanning 400 liters of water. Thus, as the
engine arrives on the scene OF fire, it
can begin pumping water while the fire.
men are making the necessary connection
at the nearest main with minimum
waste of time. The new pattern is vast
improvement on the cumbersome automo-
bile fire engines which the Paris brigade
possesses at present. and which in the
future will be used only as auxiliaries in
exceptionally large fires.
