Secure Large Amounts Of Drugs by
Clever Thievlng-One Caught.
Earl A. Rathburn. a 81 year old dope
fiend. was arrested in Corunna, Tues
day, and in his suit case were found
seven bottles containing 300 tablets of
heroin, 25 tablets of codeine, so tablets
of morphine sulphate. three bottles of
strychinne, a bottle of crystal cocaine
and other poisons apd two dope mixers,
three hypodermic syringes, one con-
tanning six needles and other dope tools.
Rathburn and another fellow, evidently
a partner, worked the drug stores of
Owosso and Corunna and evidently
made good clean up, but did not get
out of the county soon enough. At
Derham's drug store in Corunna, Rath.
burn asked to have plaster put on his
back and while this was being done and
paid for, the drugs were stolen. The
loss was soon noticed and the sheriff
notified and the man arrested as he
started to board an Owosso Car.
This fellow or some other attempted
the same game on all the Owosso drug
gists, securing drugs at the Collins
store, but being watched at the others
80 that he failed to rob them. Rath
burn is we'll educated young man,
we'll dressed and evidently has made q
good thing out of the business. Doc
tors and druggists have all taken extra
precaution lately as the new Harrison
dope law makes thieving common by
the victims of the habit.

FOSTER TO BE One
OF SENATE LEADERS
If REFLECTED.
Popularity Shown In Fight Over
School for Blind Appropriation.
BY Gurd M. Hayes.

If Senator Charles w. Foster, of
the Ingham-Shiawassee district, is re-
elected next year. it is generally con-
ceded that he will be one Of the mos:
influential men in the upper house.
Few first termers in the senate have
advanced as rapidly as Senator Foster
and his popularity was shown in a
convincing manner when the senate
agreed to stay in session all summer
if necessary in order to force the
house to recede from its decision to
cut $4,000 from the appropriation for
the School for the Blind
This fight was made personal
matter by Senator Foster and he ask
ed the senate to back him in u propo-
sition to block the adjournment until
the School for the Blind received the
additional appropriation. 1t granted
his request and it also by unanimous
vote passed the Foster bill appropriate
ing 100000 for a new state office
building.
Committee Work Good.
AS member of the judiciary com
mittee Senator Foster divided honors
with Senator Verdier, chairman of
the, committee, a veteran of four ses-
sions and one of the best men that
ever represented the first district of
Kent county.
1t was largely through the work by
Senator Foster and Senator Verdier
that the judicature act was placed in
shape for passage this year. While
many of the senators were home Sena-
tors Foster and Verdier remained at
their posts during the week-ends and
examined and revised more than 600
pages of the judicature act.
Woodwork Prises Work.
AS member of the insurance COM
mittee of the senate Foster occupied
commanding position and if he re-
turns at the next session it would not
be surprising to see him chairman of
this committee. .....--..
"Ingham and Shiawassee counties
are to be congratulated on the election
of Senator Foster" said Senator Fred
Woodworth, of the Huron-Sanilac
district. "He has the confidence of
every member of the senate and will
be one Of the big men of the leeisla-
ture in 1917

Victory in Damage Claim Case Prose-
cuted by the Commerce Commission.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has gained a victory in its cam
paign against commission companies
which for years have defrauded rail-
roads through claims for alleged dam
age to goods in shipment, when the
Davidson Brothers Commission Com
pany of Des Moines pleaded guilty to
such a charge in the United States
District Court at St. Louis yesterday
and was fined 50, 500.
The suit grew out of the claims filed
by the Davidson Company with several
southern railroads for alleged damage
to peaches shipped in 1912. The com.
, pany asked for SIS, 900, alleging that
the shipments were delayed, roughly
handled and not given proper refrigera-
ton facilities. The Davidson Com
pany and two other firms were indicted
on evidence collected by the Commerce
Commission.
