papers Immediately after the new ad-
ministration took office. -
In the face OF the statute
and the platform on which | was
elected and the statements made by
me during the campaign, your COM
mittee presenting the communication
stated that it would not be necessary
for me TO publicly make the state
ment that dice and card playing for
merchandise would be allowed, but
simply TO wink and say nothing more.
Il appreciate your having brought
this matter TO ny attention and when
ever possible il is my wish to make
any concessions justifable but in re-
ply to your request will say that so far
as 1 am concerned, the orders which
have been issued will stand for four
years. The people Will then be given
a chance TO express themselves, as to
whether they want gambling permit
ted for the next four years.
I'm reply to your plea for the cigar
makers, / will say, that if every retail
cigar dealer would heed the recon-
mendation of the labor organizations
about patronizing our worthy home
manufacturers, ii would help business
more than cards and dice.
I'VE are doing no more IN this re-
spect than administrations in other
progressive cities. Dice and cards are
not being countenanced in cities like
New York, Cleveland, Buffalo, Indian
apolis. Evansville, Kokomo, Anderson,
Muncie, Battle Greek and Kalamazoo,
so L am informed The same orders
which were issued here have been
given in our nearby cities such as
Mishawaka and Niles.
I'm conclusion will say that 1 have
had no complaint from the large
army of men " no enjoy their regular
smokes without being able to get their
cigars by playing cards or shaking
dice"

MOVE TO BOOST
FARES WITHIN
STATE Is SEEN
Pere Marquette Receivers Ask
Ferris to Use His Influence
With Legislators
THREE-CENT FARE
WILL BE ASKED FOR
Governor Tells Petitioners Road
Is in Bad Repute Throughout
the State

LANSING, Mich, Dec. 2.-(Spe-
cial.) THE first move In what Is be-
lieved to be an attempt on the part
of Michigan railroads to induce the
next legislature TO pass special act
raising passenger fares within the
state from two to two and one-half
or three cents a mile, was made here
Tuesday, when the receivers OF the
Pere Marquette requested Gov. Frris
to us his influence In obtaining such
Legislation for them.
The receivers told the governor that
an increase In passenger fares was
necessary because OF the wretohed
condition OF Pere Marquette finances.
Gov. Ferris told the receivers, 1t is
said, that he did not believe the leg.
islature would grant their request as
"the Pere Marquette Is In rather bad
repute in the capital and throughout
the state"
From remarks let drop during the
conversation with the governor Il be-
came apparent that practically all the
railroads In the state are desirous OF
getting rid Of the two-cent fare law
and that the Pere Marquette receiv-
ers, because Of the financial tangle
In which the road now finds itself,
were selected as the most logical ones
to find how the land lies In that re-
spect.
Receivers Paul King and Dudley e.
Waters, who were accompanied by
General Manager Frank Alfred. Wis
tied the state railroad commission
and several OF the state Offices.
They refused to say whether or
not they we're In the capital on busi-
ness but persons close to the gov.
ernor told OF their conversation with
respect to the increase In fares.
