SAYS THEORY OF
POLICE IS WRONG
DETROIT EXPERT THINKS LAUN-
DRY GIRL WAS NOT BURNED
IN FURNACE.
HEAT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT
Saginaw Authorities Admit Evidence
Against Negro is cireum-
stantial and That Girl
May Still Live.

Saginaw.-The theory of the Sagi-
haw police that Charles Kimbrough,
the Negro under arrest charged with
the murder of Rose Laundry, cremat-
ed her body in the furnace of the fac
tory where he was employed, is un-
tenable, according to Henry j. Stahl,
superintendent of the Detroit Gre
matorium.
"In the first place." said Mr.. Stahl,
who has had many years of exper-
fence in the destruction of human
bodies by heat, "the ordinary steam
furnace seldom develops a heat OF
over 300 to 400 degrees. This would
be under favorable conditions and
after the fire had been kept briskly
burning for some time. This heat
would take hours to burn the bones
to a point where they could be crumb-
led or broken up without the use of
a crucher.
"In our plant here, where we de-
velop nearly 5000 degrees of heat, we
have forced drafts driven by electric
motors; fuel oil that is famed to
while hot blaze, a sealed vault that
retains every degrees of heat and a
steady flame is forced on to the body
by the air pressure"
I'VE admit the possibility that Rose
Laundry is still alive" said the head
of the Saginaw police force when told
OF the statement
I'VE have nothing but circumstantial
evidence in the matter. The child
disappeared near the factory. Kim
brough was in the factory when she
disappeared, the bones which an ex-
pert says are human bones were found
in the furnace, and there you are.
You know as much about it as we do,
but the circumstances point to the
theory that the girl was burned. We
have run down every other clue, and
this is the only one that seems to
have any basis"

HUTCHINS TO BE RETAINED
Regents of University of Michigan
viii Reappoint President.

Ann Arbor-Prof. Harry Burns
Hutchins will be reappointed presi-
dent of the university when his five
year term expires June 20, 1915.
He will thus be able to carry for
ward a number of plans the regents

Arbor still higher and farther among
the universities of the country-pro-
jects which will make it more widely
useful and stronger in all depart
ments.
President Hutchins' reappointment
will be effective for two years or
thereabouts. He will be 20 years old

Gets Verdict for $4,000.

Kalamazoo.-After being out IL
hours, the jury in the damage suit of
A. X. Edwards against the Lake
Shore, returned a verdict of $4,000
against the company.
Edwards sued for damages because
OF injuries he sustained when his
motor car was struck at a crossing in
this city two years ago. Mrs. A. B.
Cornell was killed and Mrs. Edwards
seriously injured. Edwards is Grip
pied as a result of his injuries. He
sued for $4,000.

Kills Himself BY Cradle.

Flint.-In a room where his 49,
month-old baby lay in its cradle, Otto
H. Doan, 29, formerly of Mt. Pleasant,
killed himself Saturday night while
his wife was visiting a neighbor.
She came home to find him lying
dead across the bed.
Trouble that led to his quitting his
job in a local factory because of an
argument with a foreman, is blamed
for the suicide. He had held the place
Ave years.

While the other members OF the
senate have been out visiting the var
ious state institution during the past
week, Senator Robert Walter, OF Trav-
erse City, has been sitting at his
desk adjoining the senate from day to
day and compiling figures tending to
show that the senate's plan of visiting
the various institutions before passing
appropriation bills is a real good busi-
ness proposition.
In 1913 the expense of sending the
senate committees to visit the state
institutions was $7,706.03, while the
house members spent $1,593.53 max
ing total of $3,299.56. The senators
object to the use of the word junket
in connection with their trips to the
state institutions as they claim that
the days of the junket have passed
Years ago the members of the junket-
ing committee not only received ten
cents per mile while on the trips and
at the same time had passes from the
railroads, but some one generally fur
nished meals and entertainment.
These days are forever gone. When a
member OF the legislature goes on a
trip now he received nothing from the
state but actual travelling expenses.
Senator Walter says that any good
business man would be willing to ex-
pend $4,000 to look over a proposition
involving the expenditure of $12,000,-
600, the approximately amount of the
appropriations by the legislature two
years ago.
1t is said that the fire at the Michi-
gan School for the Deaf at Flint,
which cost the state 100000, might
have been prevented, had the entire
legislature committee visited the in
stitution and followed the recommen-
dations of the board of control. Only
few of the committee attended and
the things needed to afford better pro-
lection against fire were stricken from
the bill.
Senator Welter says that the cost
OF that fire would be sufficient to pay
the expenses OF trips to all state in
stitutions by all the committees for a
period Of $50 years.

raise valuations as established by To-
cal assessing officers.
This was one of the reasons why
the legislature extended the scope of
operations and widened the powers Of
the state tax commission. 1t was con-
tended that local assessing officers in
the past have been too susceptible to
local political influences.

Wednesdays house session was de-
voted chiefly to the introduction of
bills and the passing of resolutions
for the purpose of completing the ma
chinery for weekend adjournment.
The house was in session less than
half an hour, and the first Of new
bills introduced totalled sixteen.
At the suggestion of the Labor de-
partnsent, Representative William
Jones, of Wayne, put in a bill calling
for the employment of a boiler inspec-
tor by the state at a cost of SO a
day, whose duty it shall be to inspect
all boilers in churches, school houses,
theatres, public halls, etc. Represen-
tative Flowers, of Detroit, was spon-
sor for a bill to define partnerships
and provide for dissolution and wind
ing up Of partnerships. He explained
it was one of the list of uniform leg
islation measures and asked that it be
referred to the judiciary committee.
Representative L. J. Lewis, of Van
Buren county, introduced an import
ant bill designed to amend the fish
laws relating to the licensing of non
resident anglers. 1t provides that
where a nonresident owns property
in Michigan netting S. or more in
taxes, he Is exempt from the license
fee. He must take out his license,
however, as before, but is relieved of
the obligation of paying the fee. His
other fish bill was local measure
with a referendum to repeal a law
prohibiting spearing in certain Van
Buren county lakes and rivers.
The Wolcott bill, one of the first i'm
portant measures from the dry side
of the legislature which extends the
period between submission of the 10
cal option question from two to four
years was put in by the Calhoun coun-
ty man Wednesday.
Captain Charles Tufts Of Ludington,
is author of bill given him by the
Ludington board of trade which pro-
vides that every man woman and
child in all incorporated cities and
villages must be registered and that
the clerk shall have fee of fifteen
cents for each registry. The measure
was introduced Wednesday. Repre-
sentative Tufts says 1t is designed to
keep tab on itinerants. Wayne coun-
ty members took an interest in the
fifteen cent fee proposition and began
figuring with the result that they
found IL would mean about S99, 900 in
fees for the Detroit city clerk, while
the second city members performed
some multiplication problems with the
result that the Grand Rapids city clerk
was found to be benefited by the meas
ure to the extent of some $4,000.
Representative Tufts also intro
duced a bill for an increase of the
salary of the circuit court stenogra-
pher in the Nineteenth Judicial circuit
to s2,400 per annum.
Representative Deprate, of Dickin-
son, who is godfather to most of the
Italians in the iron country put in a
bill bringing construction gangs un-
der the supervision of the state labor
department and designed TO secure
suitable places OF habitation for them
and sanitary living conditions.
Representative G. g. olmsted Of Mid
lands bill, provides for separate
board of control OF six members ap-
pointed by the governor for the man
agement Of the new Central Michigan
Sanatorium. This is now under con-
troll Of the board for the Howell in
] stitution.

Word came from Wesley Sta
ley that he and Mrs. Staley were
marooned in the flood in Kansas
City for a day or so. However they
reached Lexington, Mo-, in time
for the graduation exercises and
will be home about Saturday or
Sunday. They went by train in

Semper Siftings.

The Semper school had a lovely
day to picnic last Friday, May
18th, at Berkeley Park. The
children all having a chance to
get an auto ride to the park. Mr..
Davis came to meet them at
Semper school houee, with the
big new jitney buss and Nina
Murchison with her auto, also
Marietta Day, and Harry Bates
with his car at noon. the grown
folks set table for all and de-
licious dinner was partaken of,
following with ice cream and
cake. Then the children went
back to the whirly-gigs, teter-
totters, swings, trapezes, etc., so
none cared to go home and want
ed to know when we all would go
again. Berkeley Park is certain
ly an ideal picnic ground for old
and young. Every one had a
lovely time.
There has been some rumor of
a quiet wedding having taken
place and they have been eluding
the charivari crowd so far. We
will get them, yet!
j. A. Pierce has completed his
scales in front of his office, in the
street. He had them overhauled
and new points put on so that
they are as good as new. The
foundation was laid in cement
and the surface surrounding them
has been cemented so that with
that in front of the garage a
part of the business street is we'll
paved. Now if the rest of it'll
was only paved wouldn't it be
fine?

Steam Up in German Liner
Puts Army and Navy
on Watch.

Newport News, Va, March 90 While
the German converted cruiser Prince
Eitel Friedrich remained tied up at her
pier here tonight, and the lieutenant
in charge declared she would not now
attempt to put TO sea, there was an
unusual stir at Fortress Monroe and
Fort Wool. Searchlights flashed acress
IT,. waters of Hampton Roads, and a
submarine and three destroyers of the
United States navy were anchored in
the roadstead. All soldiers at the forts
were said to have been ordered in. and
the big gun crews and mine companies
sent to their stations.
There was no official explanation for
the activity, but it was said precau-
tions probably were being taken to
prevent the Eitel leaving without Civ
ing the notice required under interna-
tional law. 1t was pointed out that
under the law, even though the time
allowed the cruiser TO stay IN port mad
expired. if "a merchant ship flying the
flag of one of the Allies had left Hamp-
ton Roads to-day, the Eitel would not
have beer permitted to put 20 sea until
twenty-four hours thereafter.
A furry of smoke arose from one or
the Eitel's tunnels late tonight, indi-
eating there was fire under at least
one Of her boilers. The officers IN

would not leave tonight, but suggested

The scope of the federal grand jury
investigation, beginning on Monday, of
the Tanzer-Osborne tangle promises TO
be much broader than at first intended.
United States Attorney Marshall said
last night that, beyond seeking an in
dictment against the Tanner girl. he
would be ready TO submit convincing
evidence tending to prove that Miss
Tanners lawyers. as well as others,
had sche.ncd with her to defraud. The
two Investigations will be conducted
before the grand jury conjuHctivCly.
In line with the latter inquiry, three
lawyers to whom Miss Tanner tooA her
case, and all of whom rejected it be-
fore it was taken up by Slade & Slade.
are expected TO be called before the
grand jury. 1t was said it would be
interesting ror the grand jury TO learn
why three lawyers rejected the case.
Mr.. Marshall expects to overcome any
plea of privilege between lawyer and
client on the grounds that the PROPOSE
tion 'ley rejected was not for legal
service, but to aid in the commission of
n crime.
