UP BY NEW
SON-IN-LAW

Richard Esslinger, aged about so
years and for many years employed
at the Ann Arbor shops, is laid up
with injuries which he claimed were
inflicted Monday by his son-in-law Of
two weeks, John s. Perkins.
The trouble, according to Essing-
er's story to the sheriff was due to
the fact that he desired Perkins to
provide home for himself and wife
and go to work instead of living at
the Esslinger home. He declares
that Perkins attacked him and in the
fight, Esslinger claims to have sus-
tanned two broken ribs, and many
bruises on the face and head.
The matter came to the attention of
Sheriff Sproule when Mrs. Esslinger
visited the probate court socn after
the fracas and consulted Judge Bush
in regard to having her husband de-
clared insane and committed to an
asylum. No formal petition was filed
but Judge Bush asked Sheriff Sproule
to go to the Esslinger home and in
vestigate. When the sheriff arrived
at the Esslinger home he found Ess-
linger lying on the couch, badly bat
tered and bleeding.
After talking with Esslinger, who
appeared to be perfectly rational, the
sheriff visited the car shops and talked
with men who worked with Esslinger.
They all declared that he had never
shown any signs of being other than
sane, that he was hard steady work.
er and valued employe of the COM
pany.
Esslinger's daughter, Miss Edna,
was married to Perkins since July IA,
the license having been issued on
that date. Perkins was recently dis
charged from the army.
Perkins was taken into custody by
Sproule on a warrant sworn to by
Esslinger, charging assault and bat
terry. He was in Jail about an hour
before Mrs. Esslinger furnished bail
in the sum of 5000. Perkins pleaded
not guilty to the charge and will be
tried before Justice Nichols in Corun-
ma on August II. He has engaged
w. J. Parker to defend him and with
fight the charge.
Wednesday, Attorney Day secured an
injunction restraining Mrs. Esslinger
and Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins from selling

her death came as distinct shock to
her hosts of friends, who although
knowing that she had not been in the

not the lightest idea that her ailments
would prove fatal. A weak heart
caused her death.

had become intense and Saturday
night she was unable to rest. At

erably since. She was married Is

an engineer took him, until five years
ago when they returned to Owosso.

ed much time and money to helping
the poor and many heart has been
made glad through some kind and
generous act of hers She was al.
ways thinking of what she could dc
for someone else to make them happy

FORDNEY ATTACKS
FREIGHT RATE CUT

Washington, July 26.-Criticism of
the railroad administration for reduc-
ing freight rates on imports received
on the Pacific coast was voiced in the
house today by Representative Ford
ney, Republican, of Michigan, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee. The result was a discrimination
against American manufacturers, a
hardship to workers, and in effect a
reaction of tariff duties, he said.
Mr.. Fordney referred to President
Wilson as "our general manager" and
added that he had disseminated
against his people in favor of the
Orient, South America and Mexico"
eff you had in your employ" said
,Fordney, superintendent of a
mill and were to find he was discrimi-
mating against you, would you raise
his wages? No. You would raise him
from his seat and discharge him."
Mr.. Fordney said he had list of
483 articles on which the freight rates
were lower on the foreign product
than on the American. Increased rev.
enue for the railroads while under
government control, he continued, ha
been obtained at a price to the general
public.
"For every II cents of increased
revenue of the railroads." he asserted,
1--WE have spent 1913 cents. If that is
not extravaganza l know what it is.
1t is incompetence"
