Proctor Knott Owens. who ran for
mayor against Mayor Thompson, two
years ago. and later for circuit judge

the Improvement associations are
bringing pressure on us. If the com
missio ndeclines to ask for all i'm
provements the associations think
they ought to have, they appeal 10
their aldermen and estimators and
the result Is that the council by reso-
luton instructs the commission 10 ask
for the appropriations. So 1t was last
year, and some Of the commissioners
believe that the council and estima-

entirely necessary. The improvements

CHANGE OF VENUE UP
TO SUPREME COURT
Judge Phelan Ordered to Show
Cause Why Trials Should
Be, Transferred

The Michigan supreme court has Is.
sued an order calling ON Judge Phelan
TO show cause why he should not va.
cate the order transferring the trial
OF aldermen accused of grating, from
Detroit TO Mt. Clemens.
The matter Will be argued before
the supreme court, Jan. IA, Attorney
James Mcnamara, represented Aid.
Thomas Gilman, and Attorney Sc
ward Merriam, the other aldermen in
the proceedings before the supreme
court.
The attorneys represented that their
clients were not able financially 20
make a defense In Mt Clemens; that
they were entitled 10 a trial In their
own vincinage; that no effort had thus
far been made to get jury in Wayne
county. anu that the people OF Macomb
county were inclined to be more preju-
diced In the case than those OF De
troit, for the reason that the circula-
ton figure OF the newspapers showed
that more newspaper reading is done
In Macomb county than in Detroit.
They also stated that Prosecutor Shep-
herd had argued before Judge Phelan
that he wanted the change OF venue
because he would be unable to get a
conviction in Detroit. His arguments
were characterized as q "miserab BILE
showing"
Prosecutor Shepherd says he doesn' I
fear any change in the present plans,
believing that the supreme court will
allow the order of Judge Phelan to

DEN0UNCE CURRENCY BILL
Country Bankers Oppose Federal Re-
serve System.

Boston, Oct 7.-Opposition to GER
tain features of the Glass bill, which
provides for reform in the national
currency and banking system, was
voiced at a special conference RI
more than seven hundred country
bankers attending the thirty-ninth
annual convention of the American
Bankers association. That a new
banking system is needed was adj
mitted and the administration was
commended for trying to pass one.
In resolutions adopted almost unanl-
mously these bankers, who claim to
represent about IS per cent of all
the banks in the United States, de-
clared that unless the Glass bill, CT
federal reserve act, is amended along
lines proposed by them, very few
country banks, either state or nation
al, can afford to become members of
the new federal system This
means, the declarations assert. that
the great majority Of country nation
al banks must surrender their char
tiers or retire from business"
