Medical Examination of Ray
Sparkling Gives Results
Favorable to Him

PORT HURON, Mich, March IL
(SpeciaD-Three Port Huron ply
sicians. last evening, held consulta-
ton over the condition OF Ray Spar
ling, the Bad Axe youth, who Is criti'
cally I'll in this city and for whose
brothers death his mother Will be
tried at the next term OF the circuit
court at Bad Axe. While no official
report was submitted, II Is said that
the physicians found his ailment to
be hereditary, that his heart was
irregular and that he Is suffering from
loss of blood.
Mrs. Sparkling and her daughter,
Mrs. Fred II. Bond. of this city, VIII
be examined by the same physicians
at the direction of the prosecuting at
torney. Ray will be removed to the
hospital this afternoon, where he Will
be kept under close surveillance to
preclude any supposition that drugs
are being administered TO him to pro-
duce the weakness. Aside from the
fact that they will make blood tests
the physicians refuse TO comment
further.
The belief that Scyrell Sparline
and the others died from natural
causes is becoming more and more
widespread daily and the outcome OF
today's tests will have much bearing
not only upon the trial OF Mrs.
Sparkling but the decision to grant a
new trial to DR.. MacGregor, now
serving a life term In Jackson prison
for the murder OF Scyrell.

TO HELP BUILD
Mich. HIGHWAYS
Speaker Currie Draws Bill to
Saddle Half Expense on
United States
From a Star CORRESPONDENT.

LANSING, Mich. March 17--Speak.
! er Curric will have ready for intro
/ duotion sometime this week q bill EN-.
/ bodyng a plan 10 combine the prelim-
\ inary work OF establishing a trunk line
system of state roads with the state
geological survey and thus have half
OF the cost borne by the federal gov
eminent
| To every amount which state APP
propriates for geological survey, a like
sum is added from a fund set aside bt
congress. ON account OF the fact that
Michigan has been backward in max.
| ing allowances. the state has been
only about one-tenth covered.
Speaker Currie has conferred with
the state geologist, A. c. Lane, who
informs him that so little has been
done the department needs some sort
OF framework 10 build upon, such as
would be afforded by survey of the
proposed trunk line roads. The speak
er's idea now is TO kill the two birds
with one stone and TO let Uncle Sam
stand half OF the expense at that.
This suggestion is directly in line
with the conclusions OF the recent
open hearing on the trunk line bill
when a practically unanimous agree
ment was reached both by the mem.
bers Of the committee and those who
appeared before them that all the
present Legislature can do for the
movement Is TO appropriate money for
preliminary survey and submit an
amendment to the constitution 10
make II possible for the state to bor-
row money to build the roads.
The carrying out OF this plan would
not mean the work of the survey was
TO be limited to a direct line as IL the
establishment OF q road were its sole
purpose although that would be ac-
incidentally. A line OF
along each route might be
covered. for instance.
Speaker Currie IL also considering
the question OF Incorporating into the
state award system of building roads
a provision whereby any county, town.
ship or road district which undertakes
to construct a road on the line Of any
OF the trunk routes shall get for It,
bonus OF so per cent more than the
usual allowance.
In spite OF the fact that the state
wide prohibition amendment to the
constitution was reported out Of COM
mittee last Thursday. II 10 causing
little discussion among the members
and lobbyists for and against It.
The explanation for the lack OF the
interest is that IL the initiative 10
adopted the question can be submitted
Just as soon as 1t could be by this
legislature.
One of the most important proposals
of last week was made by Rep. Stew
ems, of Nissaukee. to amend the con-
stitution to allow the state to SET
aside funds to be lent at low rate

sons engaged In work Of agricultural

An employe of this department,
having successfully survived two con

the mouth or rather down in the
nose. especially after reading weird
advertisement Of L. Gorham's famous
catarrh remedy made at Battle Creek

employe waited for the usual results.
THE first letter offered him .

letters followed in which the price OF
the remedy was successfully reduced
TO $500 cash and $500 credit, and
finally to $3.50 cash at which bargain.
counter price our chemist invested
the states money.
The remedy consisted OF three,
six-ounce bottles of brownish red
liquid for internal use and an ounce
tin OF 'Antiseptic Balm to swab out
his smeller. Analysis showed that
the internal remedy consisted OF
eight per cent. alcohol 25 per cent

I'VE will let physicians and the

NEW YORK, March 17.-Police
headquarters was in q turmoil today
Not since the days when Inspector
Byrnes cleaned the city Of the big
yeggs and safeblowers and established
his famous deadline. has the central
detective bureau faced as big burg.
larry Job as the 100000 footing Of the
steel and brick vault Of Martin 81
mons & Co.'s pawnshop at Hester and
Eldredge-sts. The burglars worked
sometime between Saturday evening
and Z o'clock last night. when the
crime was discovered.
Without q single clue, except two
pairs Of heavy gloves and some un'
marked tools, the detective bureau
sighed for the old days of the round
up" and daily masked inspection OF
prisoners through which they used to
gain q fairly accurate knowledge OF
what big crooks were In the city.
That the Job, one of the biggest in
the history Of safe-cracking, was the
work OF two master cracksmen, was
accepted as a certainty by the police
They based their belief that only two
men worked the trick on two circuul'
stances, the finding of the two pairs
OF gloves and the fact that the haul
Of $500, 900 WAS mainly In highly valu-
able jewelry and could have been car
ried away In the pockets OF two men,
Left behind were 100000 worth OF
diamonds and other valuables which
might have been taken had there been
more men in the Job. The robbers
had evidently made a careful study
Of the location and construction OF
the vault, which stood behind a parti.
ton in the rear of the shop. In front
of the steel door of the vault a gas
jet burned at all hours and the door
was fully protected by burglar alarm
wires. The top Of the vault was or
brick, reinforced with steel bars. but
the three sides were Of cemented brick
only, two feet thick.
The robbers attacked the vault {.
the way OF the cellar Of the tenem
next door. They shoveled to one
side two tons Of coal to get at the
partition wall between the buildings,
broke their way through with drills
and sledges and cut q trap door In
