Funeral services for Mrs. Charles
Farr, who was killed Saturday after
noon when Lansing interurban car
struck their automobile at the town
line crossing south of the city, were
held at the family home south of this
city this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
remains will be taken to her old home
at Omar, Mich, for burial.
According to Mr.. Farr who was
driving the ford car, occupied by
himself and wife and his son, Captain
Floyd Farr. and wife, of Long Leaf
La, he did not see the car coming
until it was almost upon him and it
was too late to prevent being struck.
The Fairs were driving west, and the
car hit the rear corner of their ma
chine throwing all of the occupants
out. Mrs. Farr Sr. was thrown against
an embankment Is feet away and her
skull fractured. She was dead when
picked up. Mrs. Farr Jr. was sitting
on the opposite side of the car and al
though she sustained no serious in
juries, she was shaken up considera-
bly,. The two men were not hurt. The
machine was badly damaged.

4 HUSBANDS AFFECTIONS

Suit was begun by summons in the

tain, as the Democrats appear to
have a third of the Senate lined up
for it as it stands. But the President
is radically wrong in his view. The
rules of the Senate are very explicit
on the point, and while conforming to
the Constitution in requiring a two
thirds vote on the final passage of the
resolution of ratification, demand only
majority on amendments to that
resolution. Here is the rule:
"On the final question to advise and
consent to the ratification in the form
agreed to, the concurrence of two
thirds of the Senators present shall
be necessary to determine it in the
affirmative; but all other motions and
questions upon treaty shall be de-
cided by majority vote, except a mo-
tion to postpone indefinitely, which
shall be decided by a vote of two
thirds"

NICKEL FOR SODA

So far as action of the House is
concerned the tax on soda water has
been repealed. Under the leadership
of Congressman Fordney, Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee, a
bill has been put through the House
wiping the obnoxious provision from
the statute books, and it is anticipat-
ed that similar action will be taken
by the Senate at an early date. The
tax has been unpopular from the first,
difficult to collect as sole dependence
had to be placed on the honesty of
soda fountain proprietors, and should
never have found place in our revs-
nue. laws. The action of the Repub-
licans of Congress in repeating it
will meet with universal approval.
