LATE NEWS NOTES
OF NEARBY TOWNS
INTERESTING ITEMS GATHERED
FROM OUR EXCHANGES
Brevities Relating to People, Matters
and Things in This Section
of Michigan

Thirty-five automobiles were destroy
ed by a fire in a garage at Pontiac last
week Thursday. The loss was more
than $50, 100000.
Ignace Fisher, an Owosso townsh:p ,
farmer, has been sent to Jail for twenty
days because he failed to send his nine
year-old daughter to school.
The village of Pigeon has bonded for
$1,000 to install lighting plant, and the
city dads are looking up the cost of in
stalling and operating the boulevard
system, which is one of the most snowy
and efficient systems in use.
Burglars broke into two print shops
in Flint. recently. and found real money.
In one place they got four cents and in
another place, quarter. There is now
a chance for grand jury investigation
to determine how those printers came to
have all that money.
A Chesaning ex-saloonist has sued
that village to compel the return of
some license money which he says was
collected from him in excess of the
amount authorized by law. If he wins,
each of the three other saloons will have
an equal chance and the village will be
soaked" about as completely as any
of the patrons of its thirst parlors ever
were. The licenses in Chesaning have
cost s., 900 per year and the ex-saloon-
ist claims they had no right to take
more than $500.
Corunna has a beautiful park, the
gift of the late Judge Hugh McCurdy.
1t is used as picnic and meeting ground
by persons living in all sections of the
county and Mayor Simeon has asked
these to gather at the county seat in
the near future and join in "bee" F" for
the purpose of improving the park.
Besides digging out the lagoon and
canal, to provide place for boating
and swimming, it is desired to fill in
depressions, repair the casino and sew
eral rustic shelters and make other i'm
provements.
Alfred Covill, farmer living near
Vassar, lost eight valuable yearling
Holstein heifers within three days, re-
Gently, and attributed their death to
some strange disease. An analysis of
the stomachs of the animals made later,
at Lansing, shows them to have been
poisoned but whether accidentally or
with intent remains to be seen. 1t
seems well-nigh impossible that there
is anything in human form that could
find revenge in an act of this kind, but
if so, no punishment could be too severe
in case he is apprehended.
The ladies of Otisville have petitioned
the common council of that place to i'm.
prove the village park and lay out some
flower beds therein. They state in their
petition that it constitutes the first re-
quest they have ever made and ask that
it be granted at once. Well, if it's the
first request the hard working, patient,
economical better half of that commun-
ity ever made, it's our humble opinion
that they are entitled to all they ask for
right off the reel. And we also venture
that no public work undertaken in our
sister village in years will rebound more
greatly to her credit than that proposed
by the ladies.

DAVID LLOYD GEORGE FOR
DUTY ON BEER AND TEA

London, Nov. II, $50 p. M-David
Lloyd-George. chancellor of the ex-
chequer, in the House of Commons to-
day, estimated that the cost of one
year of the war for this country would
be 450, 100000 pounds ($2,250, 100000, the
largest amount England has ever
spent on a war and more than twice
what was spent in the conflict with
South Africa during four years. To
pay this enormous bill, the government
had decided to raise loan of $780,,
100000 pounds ($150,000,000), which
would be issued at 50 bearing interest
at the rate of 81 per cent. and be re-
deamable at par March 1, 1928. The
chancellor proposed. and the House
unanimously supported him, that the
income tax should be doubled but only
collected on one-third of the income
this year; that an extra half penny
Zone cent? per half pint should be lev
led on beer, and an extra three pence
(six cents), per pound on tea. He ex-
planned that the expenses of the Brit
ish troops would be higher in proper
ton than of any other country in the
world, as the ay and. the cost of the
ARMY anu navy were D.. liiSi Q
were separate allowances to the men
and their families and pensions were
on larger scale. Already 100000 were
serving and another million were in
the course of enlistment.
Mr.. Lloyd-George said that the
country had to find by the end of the
financial year $40, 1867 900 pounds 49,,
676,S35,00) or there would be def
cheney of 395,S11O00 pounds.
Mr. Lloyd-G George proposed the coll
lection of an additional income tax on
only one-third of the income this year
amounting to shilling in the pound
on earned and one shilling eight pence
on unearned income. Next year, he
said. the tax would be one shilling six
pence and half crown respectively,
with the same rate for the super-taX.
The amount collectable for the pres
ent year is 12.500,0o0 pounds and next
year 44.750Co0 pounds. The country.

MISS GORDON
W.C.T.U. HEAD

Atlanta. Ga, Nov. 1.-Miss Anna A.
Gorjon of Evanston. H., today was
elected president of the woman's
Christian Temperance Union at its
general convention here.
Miss Gordon has been acting presi-
dent since the death last spring OF
Mrs Lillian NJ. N. Stevens of Port
land, Me, the head of the national or
ganization.
Miss Gordon. as is well known, was
associated with the late Frances e.
Willard and with the late Mrs. L. NJ.
n. Stevens, previous leaders of the
National organization, and it is fitting
that she should now be elected to
succeed Mrs. Stevens, whose death has
come within the last year.
To the Maine Union. her election is
especially gratifying for with Mrs.
Stevens. she passed SO many months
in the State, that Maine almost claims
her as her own and feels proud to
have her at the helm Of the great
white ribbon army of the country.

an enemy that could not give in to any
terms which Britain could prudently
accept without a smashing defeat.
Whether the war were long or short,
1t was necessary to settle once and for
all the great question which has so
long been a cause Of irritation in Eu-
rops After the war would be a period
when an enormous demand would be
made upon the manufacturing resource
es of this country which would be fol-
lowed by one of the most serious in
dustrial situations the nation ever had
confronted. 1t was therefore desirable
that as much money as possible should
be raised by taxation during the Pc
riod of imitation so as to reduce the
permanent burden of the country. He
would be committing an objectionable
blunder. he said, if he did not take
the earliest opportunity to enable
people who could not fight to contrib
ute towards carrying on the war.

GUTIERREZ APPROVES The
CARRANzA CONDITIONS AND !.
PEACE APPEARS ASSURED

Washington, Nov. 1T.-Delayed dis
patches received today from American
consular agents at Aguascalientes and
Mexico City confirmed earlier reports
that Gen. Carranza had agreed to re-
sign, provided Gen. Villa similarly re-
1red.
General Gutierrez, provisional Presl-
dent by authority of the convention,
and close friend of Villa, has approved
Gen. Caranza's conditions and tonight
it seemed that, unless Villa himself
upse. the arrangement. peace in Mex
leo was assured.
Carranza's proposal which was ac-
cepted by Gutererrez provided that the
First Chief would deliver the execu-
tive power on the following conditions:
First-Gen. Carranza would relin-
uuish his command in the Constitu-
tionalist army to Gen. Pablo Gonzales,
commander of the division of the
East
Second-Gen. Villa would retire as
commander of the division of the
North, placing his troops under the
orders of Gen. Gutierrez.
Third-Both Gen. Villa and Carran-
"a should leave the country and
should give evidence of that fact by
appearing at Havana, Cuba, on or be-
fore Nov. %.
In accepting Gen. Carranza condi-
tons, it is presumed by the American
consular agents that Gen. Gutierrez
spoke on behalf of and after consult
ing with Gen. Villa. The latter pre-
viously had made public announce
ment that he had placed his own des-
tiny in the hands of Gen Gutierrez.
E. There is some doubt in we'll inform
ed quarters whether either Villa or
Carranza will actually leave Mexico.
1t is thought that when Carranza de-
livers the executive power to Gen.
Gutierrez at Mexico City the conven-
ton on re-assembling will ask Gen.
Carranza to remain out of considera-
ton for his distinguished service to
Mexico in the revolution against
Huerta. Similarly, it is believed that
Gen. villa will be asked to stay.
Secretary Bryan felt so relieved over
the favorable turn of events in Mex
leo that he left tonight with Mrs. Bry-
an for a few days vacat ton at his
winter home in Miami, Florida. He
will return next Tuesday.

CRIME AND THE
BRITISH SALOON

London, Nov. 17,-3.55 p. M
1.-THE falling off Of crime in this
country since the Beginning of tho
war has been truly remarkable.
As compared to three years ago,
there has been a dimunition of
thirty per cent. in indictable Of
fenses,' said Justice Robert Wal
lace today in charging the grand
jury.
The justice explained that he at
tributed this decrease partly to
public restraint in war time, but
principally to the reduction in tbs
number of hours saloons are per.
mitted to stay open. "The~ effect
of this,' said the justice, "has been
truly wonderful"
