Haverstraw. N. T., Dec. Unique
in dramatic situations that murder
trials brought about is that which
will arise when William v. Cleary, the
democratic boss and town clerk of
Haverstraw,. comes to trial early next
month for the killing of his 1S-year-
old son-in.law: Eugene N. Newman.
It lies in the narrowing position
in which the dead lads girl wife.
Cleary's daughter. will find herself.
To appear upon the witness stand in
defense, OF her father involves the
necessity of aspersing the memory of
her youthful husband; to ignore her
fathers desperate plight and remain
away from the court room, or to take
the stand and be forced to give evil
dence against him obviously carries
with it poignant distress. the torture
Of filial affection.
Newman was shot dead in Cleary's
office last July.

SUPERVISORS ADOPT RESoLu-
TONS AT CONVENTION

ing of the State Association of SUI
pervisors came TO a close following
unanimous adoption Of the report OF
the committee on resolutions
The resolution committee reported
that consideration had been taken of
recommendations in the line with sug-
gestions made therein, the commit
tees report recommended the follow
ing:
That the continuation of the pres
ent tax law is desirable until such
time as vital need shall point to the
necessity Of radical changes; that the
efforts of the state tax commission
are commendable and deserve coop
GRAFTON OF all supervisors; that the
amount of taxes to be raised in any
one year should be limited and that
a committee of five be appointed TO
request the tax committee of the legis-
it should be the duty of all cO-ofiicers
to assess property at cash value
The committee also recommended
the amendment OF the law of 1911 to
provide that the membership of the
state board of equalization be com
posed of the three members of the tax
commission the governor and the au-
ditor-general. 1t was supported on
the ground that the tax commission
ers are better acquainted with prop
erty values; that present methods are
not satisfactory and that the expert
ence of other states has demonstrated
that the tax commissioners estimate
OF values gives the most general sat
isfaction.
A resolution proposing an amend

which the rate should be computed

til the next annual meeting.
Governor Ferris spoke briefly, ITO
attempt to cut down the amount Of
taxes raised for educational purposes
is little less than criminal" said the
governor. IF Michigan is to pro-
gress, taxes must increase. The ques-

increase as what do we get for the
money we pay"

augurating a lecture system. A rep
resentative of this department is
ready and will be glad to present
these lectures not only TO the sports
mems associations, grange meetings,
county fairs, but also i'm the public
schools. These lectures will be par
ticuiarly interesting as they show the
importance of protecting the wild life
OF the state, the kind and value of
Michigan's game and insectiverous
birds, the great value of our CONNER
cial fishing industry, if the great lakes
are properly replenished with COM
mercial FISH spawn, the care and vigil
ance which should be exercised by
those who visit the woods with the

TELL OF EARLY
MICHIGAN DAYS
PIONEER AND HISTORICAL so.
GETTY CLOSE MEETING
AT PORT HURON.
JUDGE MITCHELL, AGED 81, ONE
OF THE SPEAKERS.
History of Huron County is Told by
Mrs. Florence Gwinn Who Has
Compiled interesting
Record.

Port Huron. Mich.-The Michigan
Pioneer and Historical society closed
it's two-day session in this city Fri
day, with interesting "reminiscences
OF the pioneer days in this section of
the state
BY special invitation Judge William
T. Mitchell, Port Huron's Grand old
man." appeared at Fridays session,
and enlivened the occasion with re-
miniscences of the early life in Port
Huron.
Judge Mitchell, with his mind as
clear as a bell and the weight of 81
years on his shoulders, linked the
past with the present.
One of the many interesting papers
read during the afternoon was that
dealing with the early history of HUI
ron county by Mrs. Florence M.
Gwinn, of Pigeon.
Mrs. Gwinn garnered her facts
from talks with the Indians, and also
from delving into old manuscripts and
records. She told OF how the first
stones quarried at Grindstone City in
1884, by Captain A. J. Peer, were
used in building the pavement Of
Woodward and jefferson avenues in
Detroit.
Captain Peer was the first presi-
dent of the Pioneer society organ
ICED in Huron county. In 1888 began
the heaviest numbering bushes ever
carried on in the county. One mill
alone cut 12O,O00,O0O feet for the east
ern markets. During these times,
when expecting a vessel a bonfire
was built or a lantern hung on the
top of a cedar tree, to attract its
attention.
At the close of the program George
w Howe related number of Incl
dents of the Civil war, and also dis
played number of relics which he
had secured during the war days.
One of them was a desk made from
hard tack" boxes presented TO him
by members of his company.
