GALORE
AGAINST B. PIG
JOHN sCHIAvO, OF BRISTOL LocA-
II0H Is.IN THE TOLLS
SOLD LIQUOR TO MINORS
Young Men Who Purchased Liquor
Had No Hesitancy Pronouncing
II intoxicating

II John Schiavo gets clear OF the
charge OF blind pigging for which
he was arrested last Wednesday by
Undersheriff Tromblay, there VIII be
no use to try to enforce the law
against Illicit liquor selling In this
county.
The arrest of Schiavo came about
through a complaint made by Claire
Ponchaud. The man had been usupect-
ed OF violating the law but no one
could be got who would produce the
evidence. The taking Of Ponchaud for
breaking his promise TO Judge Flanni-
gan by which he agreed to pay GER
tain amount because of material that
disappeared from the St Paul ware
house last winter brought out the fact
that one of the main reasons for the
delinquency was "schiavo's blind pig =
A number OF young men were nam
ed by the complaining witness as hav-
ing purchased liquors from the man
and Mayor Munns insisted that an in
vestigation be had with the result that
the arrest was made.
Yesterday morning preliminary
hearing was held by Judge Dawson at
his office to determine II there was any
evidence against the man. Many of the
young men named in the information
came in and manfully told how they
had purchased liquors at Schiavo's
place. Each was asked II the liquor
purchased was intoxicating and every
one replied that IL was.
Among the witnesses was boy OF
sixteen who testified that he had on
various occasions bought beer at the
blind pig. One other boy was asked
n he knew John Schiavo and he re-
piled that he did. What does he do at
the Bristol?" inquired Judge Dawson
"He keeps a blind pig was the reply
and then the boys told how he had
bought liquor from the man.
There was no effort on the part OF
the young men to hedge on any OF
their testimony and those who heard
them complimented them of being
either one thing or the other Some OF
the dry" advocates feared that testi-
mony couldn't be got and they were
much encouraged at the frankness OF
Tthe replies made and contrasted il
with the equiyocations made by wit
nesses in the hearing of the four mer
brought to court at Iron River a weeI
ago.

IRON GOT IT'S SHARE

Michigan counties owe themselves
$1.2s5,712 on good roads building
that is. the counties have paid to the
state that much for road building
over and above what they have re-
ceived back in good road rewards.
Auditor General Fuller has figured
up the good road taxes and the re-
wards from each county from 1903 to
date.
Six counties have so far not taken
down cent OF rewards on roads:
Baraga, Chippewa, Mackinac, Mont
morency, Oscoda and 0tsego. All the
others have had some rewards, al
though Gladwin county has had but
$502, and Luce county $3.50.
The heaviest figures affect Wayne
county, which shows an excess OF tax
OF $721 ,997. In other words Wayne
has paid that much more money out
for state roads than II has taken back.
Wayne has drawn i'm road rewards
s175,25S. Next Wayne. Kent shows
the biggest excess in tax, having paid
$216,9s0. Houghton county is next
with s115,S66.
Thirty-four counties have received
more reward money than they have
paid out in road taxes. Delta county
has the lead with $4,000 excess; next
is Saginaw with $4,000, and then
oceana with $4,000 Muskegon has a
1000 excess and Gratiot $SO,OOo
There are two comparatively very
small excesses-Lake with $1,1s4 and
Charlevoix with $1,09l.
The total taxes levied from 1903 70
1915. inclusive. amount to ss,S55,oOC
while the rewards paid total 's2,5Ss'-

To one who is interested In politics
the west is an interesting held. had
often wondered why II is that the west
Is so prone to depart so widely and so
suddenly from the conservative path
marked out by the east. In Michigan,
for example, the county board Will
hagger for days over the building of a
piece OF road or the people of county
will shy at county road commission
or bond issue for a county road
while in q western states money Is
being poured into roads with the
reckless abandon Of the proverbial
drunken sailor. why the difference?
Ny friends in the west tell me that
the unit Of government in that part OF
the country is the county. The town

an offending representative may be
called and raked over the Goals don't

unit below the county Is the school

MOVING WATER
AT RAPID RATE
DAILY CAPACITY AT T0BIN TOTAL
$500, 900 GALLONS
TOUGH DIGGING AT CHANNEL
Many Boulders and Clay Make the
lob More Difficult Than II First
Appeared to be

Supt. Richards sat down with a re-
porter for the Diamond Drill one day
this week and did little figuring on
the amount of water that is being pull
ed out of the Tobin workings each day
and the result was a surprise. There
are three bailers and blower working
and the total output of those contri-
vances amounted TO 3.5o0,o00 gallons
OF water every twenty-four hours.
Figuring upon the displacement of
the ore taken out of the Tobin and re-
ducing It to gallons and adding to that
the daily input of water, which
amounted to 800 gallons per minute
when the mine was operated, we got
the vast total of 26s, 100000 gallons to
be moved before the mine is clear OF
water
Mr.. Richards figured when he start
ed to unwater the mine in about 100
days and to do that he has to keep the
volume above that which was attained
this week. This he hopes to do by add
ing a sinker pump in the air shaft and
rotary pump TO be operated by
electricity in the open prr. This will
add sufficiently to the daily volume to
take up the difference and also take
care OF the loss occasioned by delays
and break downs later on to the bailers
and pumps now at work.
The bailers are working three shifts
OF S-hours each and the engineers are
kept on the move all OF the time. Just
now the pull is short one and trips
are more frequent than they will be
later on when the surface of the water
Is lowered below the open pit
Bad Digging at Canal
AT the canal which is being con-
structed by the Fol tune Lake Mining
company to take care of the water in
Briar Hill creek.
The water which stands I'm the sand
high above the level of the creek had
been giving more or less trouble. The
ends OF the canal are in the low ground
and infested with boulders. In an
effort to get rid OF the water the drag
line was taken to the outlet end of the
ditch and set at work cutting a chan
mel through to drain off the water.
The material met with is tougher
than expected, nest OF boulders with
tough clay resembling gumbo. Mr.
Hicks informs us that they are max
ing progress through the mass and
that Il looks now as II the hardest par
OF the problem has been solved. II will
probably be necessary TO do consider
able hand work in the ends but Il

MOVIE" MATERNAL.

s54s45 Ii
Moving picture producers are mis-
sing some grand opportunities with
all he.spectacular submarine raids on
ocean liners there has not been one
thriller" Of this kind put on the
film.
Usually the moving picture men
are the first ones on the scene of
action. They have been everywhere
with their little revolving cameras
and have snapped some interesting
pantomime. But when the real reel
material is floating at large on the
high seas they have failed to get it.
Here Is their chance. On July s,
next Tuesday, there is going to be a
grand sinking in the war-zone The
White Star liner Adriatic is to be
sunk by German submarine. The
name Of the submarine, or letter.
rather. has not yet been announced.
It will probably be the U-some
thing. The warning has already been
given. The stage is set. The name
OF the drama, a nautical one, is ''The
Dive The william enters ..up-stage,'
from a, trap door, coming up from a
swim. He will greet the hero, or
is it heroine, under the proscenium
arch Of heaven, and with a timely
warning, and fiendish grin, stab
the victim amidships.
1t will be a great show. The princi-
pal comedian has been having lots
of practice Of late and is in fine fettle.
Too bad there, will be no audience.
For this purpose the movie man
should go out and get a snapshot OF
the drama for presentation to those of
us who have grown weary of the
farcical stuff being handed out on
the screen these days and nights
Only five Americans have shipped
on the Adriatic which left New York
last Tuesday and is scheduled to
make its appearance in the war
zone" early on the morning of July
8. This ship, which is one Of the
fastest afloat, carries four hundred
and twenty passengers, may of whom
are men high up in the service OF
Great Britain. She carries a cargo
of war material, munition, and a
large consignment Of autom bi1es
Just like the advance notice given
the Lusitania's fate, rumors were
current yesterday in shipping circles
that the Adriatic is to be sent to the
bottom. The Germans contend they
cannot let her go. She is too big a
prize.
If the owners Of this vessel have
any sense, of humor they will wire
less the captain of the Adriatic to
change his course and make the
journey to Liverpool by a differeli.
route. This would, Of, course, spoil
perfectly good sinking scene for
some movie man, but then it would
be such a good joke on the GERMAN
