Secretary of State Frederick G.
Martindale. candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for GOVERNOR, ex.
poets to launch his campaign in the
upper peninsula within the next few
months.
In the primaries last year MIR.
Martindale carried a majority Of the
counties beyond the straits, and his
friends in lower Michigan believe that
he will do even better In the northern
country in the primaries of 1914.
Since he was defeated for the nom
ination by Amos Mpsselman year
ago, Mr.. Martindsle has received
thousands of letters urging him to
make the race again. and the assur-
ancvs of support from every county in
the state are 40 hattering that his
friends declared today their confidence
that he will win next year by an over
whelming majority.
State political leaders argue that Mr.
Martindale will hold the eighty thou.
sand votes he received in the -guber-
material race year ago and that mas
much as he has the benefit Of his last
campaign to aid him his vote will be
even larger next year. They point ont
that Mr.. Martindale is better and more
favorably known than any other candi.
dte the Republican party could present
and that he has no fsctioral fights on
his hands TO mar the part'ys succefs
at the election.
Mr. Martindales strength in Wayne
county saved the Republican state
ticket with the exception OF governor.
last year aud his Detroit friends
assert that he will carry Wayne county
in the primary next August by big
plurality.

Rumored That the cleveanG-cliHs viii
Take over Charcoal Furnaces


Tue latest rumor in regard to the
properties of the Lake Superior
Chemical Go which Is in the hands
of receiver. is that the Cleveland
Cliffs company will shortly take over
a number of the furnace properties Of
the concern The furnaces likely TO
be taken over are the Choclay, New
berry and Manistique plants. The
Choclay plant is practically dead
letter and why the iron concern
should desire tnat property so close TO
it's up.to-date Marquette plant is a
mystery unless it is that the property
is being thrown in for good measure.
The Newperry and Manistique plants
are active and model plants and with
the connection between the Cleve-
land Cliffs railroad and the Manistique
or "Haywire line the latter plant is
brought INTO close connection with the
large timber holdings OF the copmany.

SPARROW BOUNTY SOON
Clerks Preparing 70 Reward Youthful
Hunters for Three Months

County Clerk Wall and other regis
ters throughout the county are look
ing forward almost with dread to the
commencement of the sparrow bounty
season which continues through the
months of December, January and Feb
ruary In compliance with the state
law, bounty Of two cents per head is
paid on all sparrows killed in the state.
The law provinces the boy or other
person who kills the sparrows shall
present the heads to the nearest Will
age or township clerk, who will Issue
n certic6ate TO the bearer which will
be replaced with an order for the
bounty when presented to the clerk.
It is the handling and destroying Of
the birds that is so distastefnl to the
clerks. and aside from that the bounty
law is unpopular. for it is felt il has
tendency 10 cultivate cruelty among
the boys
Many Of the youngsters have already
been killing spssrrows and preparing
for the bounty season, which begins
Dec. 1.
The youngsters are warned, how
ever that the law provides penalty
for the unlawful killing of song birds
and Game Warden Wilson is inclined
to enforce this provision rigidly. I'm
less the boys are able to distinguish
the English sparrow. which is regard
cd as pest. AMI kill only that, he
wonld he far safer not 20 kill a. all.

Conditions in the copper country
were discussed at White House con.
ereD ce between President Wilson and
Congressman VIM. j. Mcdonald
Upon leaving the executive offices Mr..
Macdonald said IL was apparent the

definite conclusion as to what steps
the federal government should take
to bring about settlement Mr..
Macdonald said he had no well defined
program 10 lay before the president
for consideration.
When asked for statement of what
he had said TO President Wilson, Mr.
Macdonald replied that he had ex.
planned the situation in the copper
country to the chief executive sub
stantially in the following uncontra-
dicated platitudes:

Night Providers Result in De.

From City.

People residing in the block bounded
by Twenty-first and Twenty-second
streets and Fifth and Sixth avenues
have been annoyed for some time by
providers who invade the alleys run
ming through the block during the
evening hours and in many instances
have trespassed On the premises of
property holders and peering in at the
windows of houses, have alarmed
numerous women in the neighborhood.
A few evenings ago, former Alderman
T. A. Fender determined to catch the
intruder if possible and so concealing
himself in the alley which had been
| invaded and which because of the
low hanging trees is always exceed
ingly dark, lay in wait The first
nights watch was without result, but
the second night Pender caught his
man who was sneaking by the
place of hiding. Pender seized
| him by the throat and the man being
unable to give satisfactory account
of himself, Mr.. Fender took him down
in person and gave him over to the
police. A few evenings later two negro
women were caught in the same al
ley trying to rob a Mexican street
paving employe whom they had entlc-
ed there, and still later another
negro woman was caught at the same
place with white man. The people
OF the neighborhood have now demand
ed of the city that the alley be lighted
and that better police protection be
afforded. and the latter it is understood
Is now being accorded to the end that
the male population of the block is now
able to leave home for a few hours
evenings without dread that the
women folks are in danger OF being
scared to death in their absence.
