During Governor Blease's speech
here, Governor Blease said that the
large enrolment this year proved
that there was nothing in the charge
the same speech he advised his fol-
lowers to go to the polls early and
stay late, and watch the managers all
the time and watch the count. "If
you don't" he said, "they will steal
the election. They did 1t two years
ago, and they will do IT again"

YDetroit, June 2s.-John A. Burbank,
Ppresident and treasurer of the Samuel
Mintz Hardware Company, was shot to
death in Hancock av., between Beau
bien and Stantone SITS, soon after mid
night this morning, Little more than
a block away, another man was found
shot dead on the sidewalk. The hard
ware mans right hand held revolver
with three exploded cartridges. Thirty
feet from the other body heavy re-
volver. containing five discharged car
tridges, was lying.
The police theory is that Burbank
was held up on his way home. He was
carrying a large sum of money from
his store. which the police found un-
touched on his person. They believe
that Burbank refused to surrended his
money TO the highwayman, but drew
his revolver instead and the men killed
each other in the battle which fol-
lowed.
DR.. T. c. Rohde and Eugene Casey
were waiting for a streetcar at Beau
bien st. and Hancock av. when the
firing started They heard six shots,
they say, and then silence settled down
once more. Burbank was scarcely a
block from his home.
Persons living in the immediate
vicinity Of the scene of the shooting
say they saw third man run toward
the east, Immediately after the firing
ceased, but the police believe only one
man opposed Burbank.
The victim of Burbank's revolver re-
mains unidentified. A streetcar trans
-.l.o nfn a
loaded cartridge, a handkerchief and
% cents in cash were found in his
pocket.
! David Feldman, an employee of the
hardware store, accompanied Burbank
a portion of the way home. He says
that the receipts of the day up to 6
o'clock were deposited in the bank by
the firm. and the money taken in for
ksales from 6 o'clock until closing time
WAS what Burbank was carrying home.
Feldman said his employer always car
Tied a revolver for protection on Sat
urday nights. Burbank was married,
but had no children.
At the time of the shooting all of
the street lamps in the vicinity, for
some unaccoUntable reason, were sud
denly eXtiu Cuished.
Burbanl's death was instantaneous,
Coroner Rothacher said. One of his
assailants bullets had crashed through
his back. Other bullets which Bur-
bank received broke his shoulder and
pierced his arm in two places. His
assailaut was shot through the left
wrist and his right lung. He died
from hemorrhage.
The victim of Burbank's bullet was
about six feet tall and weighed about
$50 pounds. His features were coarse
and foreign in type. None of the de-
tectives who viewed his body recog-
nized him. His finger prints were
taken. and will be compared with those
in the Identification Office at Police
Headquarters in an effort to establish
his identity.

MAYORS BAND TO
Curb HIGH RATES
Form Alliance to Get at
Valuation of Public
Utilities.

An offensive and defensive alliance
Aagainst public utilities corporations
throughout the country is being formed
by the Mayors of New York, Philadel-
phia. Chicago, Cleveland, Dayton and
other cities, with a view of finding out
Just how much these corporations are
actually worth and what rates they
should give to the public IN the various
cities.
The new organization will be char
tered shortly, and perform for the pup
lie the same service that the informa-
ton agencies of public utilities corpo-
rations perform for the corporations.
Then it is expected a battle of status
tics will begin, the corporations trying
10 show they must charge certain rates
20 make a profit, and the cities bureau
presenting the result of its investlga-
lions. The idea Of making the bureau
national is to bring so much cumula-
tive evidence that the night against
high rates in gas, electric, telephone
and streetcar service will be won by lts
weight and scope. ,..,
MAYORS of cities, big and little, have
been appealed TO by Mayor Blanken-
burg OF Philadelphia, with, whom the
idea originated, and with whom mayor
Mitchell. Mayor Harrison Of Chlcago'
Mavor Baker of Cleveland and Mayor
Shrover of Dayton are working. me

utilities shall hereafter be based on
he actual cost of providing such SER
vices and not on the power OF mo-
nopolv 10 get what rates II can or upon
a Capitalization that represents the
selling power of promoters.
In the autumn The City OF Phiiadel-
phia will bring before the PUBLIC Ser
vice Commission the. result OF the IN.
yestigation and ask for Valuation OF
public utilities according 10 the cyl
'Nence and a new schedule OF rates. me
collective evidence will be turned over
