LANSING, Mich, Jan. 9.-Civic and

mark time while the Michigan Equal
Suffrage association decides upon
whether or not Il will appeal to the
legislature for complete or partial
suffrage at this term.
Al the close Of conference here
yesterday between representatives Of
The Michigan Equal Suffrage associa-
tion, the Grange, the Cleaners, the Y.
w. G. a. the w. G. r. u and the Anti
Saloon league Il was decided to await
the action OF the Suffrage association
before developing a definite plan to
put the desired legislation through.
When the association has prepared
its bill, 1t was agreed that another
conference would be called for the
purpose OF planning the campaign.
Reports that the Suffrage associa-
tion had declined TO accept the aid of
other organizations were emphatically
denied by leaders here last night. All
other bodies stand willing TO render
assistance in the fight for equal suf-
frage, regardless of whether the az.
sociation will aid In putting through
legislation desired by other sorganiza-
tions.

making state appropriations be sub

nj. w. Stevens Calls Attention TO
Matter in Recommending
Changes in Law

Discussion OF cheap graft among
come probate judges in the state,
/ particulars those in smaller coun-
ties, took up most OF the time IN uhe
meeting OF the legislative committee
OF the Michigan Probate Judges as
sociation. in the Office OF Judge Edgar
| o Durtee. Friday afternoon. The
meeting was presided over by Judge
Henry s Hubert.
That there is form OF graft among
the Judges Was brought before the
committee when the proposed changes
in probate law, maze by The iudica-
ture commission appointed by Gov.
Ferris. were explained by Mark w.
Stevens, OF Flint, one OF the mem
bers. He declared that the Commls'
sion had decided il would be best to
abolish the publication in newspapers
OF notices To heirs ana other probate
notices. as is now required. because
u had been learned that some Judges
were making large sums OF money by
receiving rebates from publishers.
III appears, said Judge Duriee, in
discussing the meeting, that some of
these Judges have been taking so
cents from the publisher for each ad
vertiaement lnasmuch as most of
them have 10 be published three or
four times, the Judge makes Sl50 or
s. on every case where notices are
necessary There is no law which
prohibits a judge fF9FH=taieiag This re-
bate"
Although Judge Durfee is opposed
70 the rebating, he declared he would
go TO Lansing 20 fght the move to
abolish publication.
III there were no publication OF
probate matters, he said, persons in
terested in an estate could be notified
only by personal service. This opens
the gate to a great many abuses. 1t
may be 10 the interest of some per-
sons to see that another person is
not 81 with notice, whereas, il
publication we're made in newspa'
per OF general circulation. there would
be less opportunity o. nnyonS oeins
overlooked.
Just because certain judges are ac-
eeptng money for doing their duty in
giving notices 10 publishers, is no rea-
son why we should abolish a neces-
sary part of the probate law
would favor taking some other step
to stop this cheap graft, than by elm.
mating publication"
Consideration OF this proposed
change took up most of the time of
the meeting Mothers pensions, and
numerous other problems of probate
court procedure were TO have been
considered To complete this work,
the judges will meet again in Ian
sing. next Tuesday afternoon.
