Death of Edward G. Hamblin.

At an early hour Wednesday morn
ing Edward G. Hamblin passed away
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Carrie
Osburn, Oliver street east. Mr.. Hamb.
lin had been in rather poor health for
several years suffering from stomach
trouble but was about daily and quite
active until early in the fall when he
was compelled to undergo an operation
at one of the hospitals in Ann Arbor.
1t was several weeks after the opera
tion before he was able to return home
and he was at that time quite feeble.
He apparently improved considerably
and early in the winter left for Florida
to spend the winter, as had been his
custom for number of years. Some
weeks after reaching Daytona, he
entered hospital and for q number of
days his condition was very critical
The desire to return home seemed to
give him strength for the journey
which was made in company with DR..
r. G Mahaney, who went to Daytona
when news was received of his serious
condition. Arriving here he expressed
his great satisfaction at being again in
the home of his sister and then within
q short time began to fail rapidly and
at no time was there any hope for his
recovery.
MIR. Hamblin was born at Port Byron,
N. Y, in May, 1843, residing there
until shortly after the outbreak of the
civil war, when at the age of 10 years
he enlisted in New York company,
serving for three years and being
wounded at the battle of Gettysburg.
At the close of the war he came to
Owosso and engaged in business, re-
naming here for several years and then
going to Lansing where he was associ-
ated in business with w. b. Sullivan.
formerly of this city. Upon the death
of his brother, Lawrence A. Hamb-
lin, he returned TO Owosso to re-
side, and has since made this
place his home, although he spent
considerable time in the south and
west. His business career was marked
by the strict sense of integrity which
was characteristic of Mr.. Hamblin and
he had no better friends than his busi-
ness associates and customers. Person.
ally he was a most genial and compan-
ionab!e gentleman, always ready and
willing to do any act of kindness which
would bring cheer to any one while

WOULD KILL BEET SUGAR IN
DUSTRY.
Representative y NJ Mcbride OPP
poses Tariff Reductions

Seeing in the threatened reduction or
possible abolition of the sugar tariff the
destruction of the Michigan beet sugar
industry, Representative j. N. Mcbride
Tuesday afternoon sought to have the
weight of Michigan legislative opinion
thrown into the coming congressional
fight by presenting memorial that, if
adopted, is to be sent to congress-
Other beet sugar states, said Repre-
sentative Mcbride, are preparing to take
the same action. The injection of the
tariff question into state legislative
matters may not come without trouble,
however, as Representative Happier,
one of the Democratic leaders of the
house. declared point blank he would
fight the memorial and call upon his
Democratic colleagues to stand by him.
Representative Farmer, Democratic
floor leader, said he would be against
the memorial, but did not know wheth.
or the Democrats would take united
stand. The memorial follows:
''The house of representatives and
senate Of Michigan concurring, respect.
fully memorializes the congress of the
United States in regard to the beet
sugar industry Of Michigan. with the
following statement of conditions in re-
gard thereto:
THE bounties of exported sugar
from continental Europe, together with
fertile soil and cheap labor in the trop-
les, are the conditions that will without
restriction close the sugar factories of
this state. When the sugar industry is
ruined then the bounties that were used
Cor this purpose are in fact collected
from the consumer of sugar by advanc-
ing the price.
"This ingenious system of stimulat
ing industry by foreign governments in
bounties and valorizatiop or price fixing
as Is the case with coffee and potash,
removes the question Of the duty on
sugar from that of a simple question of
tariff to one very complex and inter
national in it's scope.
"Under these conditions we protest
against such a removal of the duty as
will undermine this Michigan industry,
and would suggest the enactment of
maximum and minimum tariff law,
and leave to national commission the
application of the duty within the linn.
its of the law believing such an
administration would protect the pub
lie from combinations, either at home
or abroad"

Sues for $4,000.

Gideon Whiting of Bennington town
ship, has begun suit through his attor-
neys Pulver 81 Pond, against William
R. Grieve manager of the Owosso City
Mills, claiming $40, 900 damages for in
iuries sustained when his horse became
scared at Grieve's automobile and turn
ed his buggy over fracturing his right
ankle and wrenching his back so that
his earning power has been stopped.
He claims Grieve opened up the muffier
of his machine and the noise and smoke
was unnecessarily created. Whiting is

Senior Hop.

The hop given by the class of 1913 of
the Owosso high school which was held
at the Elks' temple Friday evening,
was au exceedingly enjoyable affair,
attended by seventy five couples on the
floor and a gallery filed with specta-
tors who listened to the delightful
music. by the Fischer orchestra of Kali
amazoo. The rooms were beautifully
decorated, the class colors blue and
white being used.

Spring Politics.

morning that DR. Gaylord N. Finch
had consented to permit the use Of his
name for the Republican nomination
for mayor. The Doctor had not been a
candidate for the place and the request
to make the race came to him entirely
unexpectedly and was accepted after
being considered couple of days.
Coming as it did and backed as it was
by a large number of the members OF
the party, it was almost impossible for
DR.. Finch to have declined the invita-.
tion as he believes every citizen is in
duty bound to shoulder some share OF
the responsibilities involved in real
citizenship. With the statement that
he would accept the nomination if
rendered him as the result of the com
ing primary, the friends of the Doctor
began work in real earnest and he has
been assured of support which makes
his nomination appear certain. In ad-
dition to this many voters of other
parties have stated that it would be a
pleasure to them to give him their votes
on election day. With DR.. Finch at
the head of the ticket, with A. II. Du-
mond as a candidate for clerk, G. F.
Friegel for justice and with either of
the aspirants for treasurer, the Republi-
cans will have city ticket which will
command the united support of the
party and ought easily to be successful.
The candidacy of Dr. Finch will appeal
particularly to the young men of the
city who have known him since he came
to the city to enter the high school,
through which, and also the University,
he practically worked his own way.
while his success in whatever he has
undertaken has won for him the res
pect of the older voters who believe he
has shown the spirit which will make
him successful as chief executive of the
city.
The denomination of q. F. Friegel
as justice for another four year term
is not questiyned as his services have
given universal satisfaction.
For treasurer spirited contest is
probable between w. P. Whittemore
and Ira @. Curry. Mr.. Whittemore
was early in the field and has many
promises of support, while Mr., Curry
announced his candidacy a few days
ago and already has a goodly list of
friends working in his behalf.
Alderman J. j. Mcdonald of the first
and E. F. Conant Of the fifth ward
reconsidered their determination not to
run and have Welded to the solicitation
Cf their friends and will again serve
if it is the wish of the voters of their
wards. In the fifth ward. Aid. w. E.
Washburn is unopposed as far as
known.
The present popular and efficient
L. Sprague, r. l..
Chase, M. F. Grove, M. d. Corey and
Geo. A. Perrigo will probably be re-.
nominated unless Mr.. Perrigo declines
because of i'll health. The records of
these men are such that they will un-
doubtedly be re elected with good ma
jorities.

ST. LOUIS. SDec 12-Follow'ng the
destruction by e. e at 2 a m. of the tent
of the Holiness Christian Rescue and
Mission Church, at Bell and Compton
avenues, Brother Carmel Patrick. one
of the pillars of the church. said that

do with it.
The Rev. Melvin Pratt, pastor. how
ever, sees nothing supernatural about
the blaze, but thinks it may have been
started purposely by some of the neigh
bors who have nightly turned phono-
graph batteries on the tent while serv-
ices were being con1ucted.
Brother Patrick remains true to his
conviction. in spite of his spiritual super
visor's opinion. He declares that the
tent was damaked by wind several
weeks ago after some one had prayed
that a mighty wind be sent over the
city to drive the unrighteous to re-
pentance.
Tent Weatherproofed.
The tent was forty by sixty feet and
had been paraffined to keep out The
