Sheriff Raids Gambling Den at Du'
rand-Sis Arrested.

: The sheriff and his deputies pulled
off the raid without the knowledge of
the Durand officers. They had been
watching the gambling situation in
Durand for some time and knew where
the s"games" were on. They left Cor
unna at about II o'clock Monday night,
drove to Durand and pulled up in front
of one of the bank buildings. Bailey's
room was upstairs. The officers ran
upstairs, Sheriff Sproule leaped
against the door of Bailey's room and
burst it open. There sat Bailey and
the others around table, with cards,
money and chips in sight. A bottle
partly full of whiskey also was found.

CITY BUDGET $117,741.44

The city commission Monday adopt
ed the annual appropriation ordinance
carrying appropriations totalling
$117,741.44. The estimates were
adopted without change from those
published in full week ago. In adj
dition to the above amount to be rails
ed by tax, provision is made in the
budget to raise approximately $4,000
in bonds for public improvements. 1t
is unlikely, however, that all of this
money will be raised.
The budget makes provision for the
paving Of Corunna avenuer Ridge,
Comstock and Ball streets and sewers
on the following streets: Harrison,
Comstock, East Mason, North Shia-
wassee, South Park, Glenwood, Grow
er, Railroad, Lingle, Broadway and

Washington Letter.
THE SENSE OF THE SENATE"

ihG oCI>CE UT he oLNA Il
A perusal of the new constitution
lends a fresh significance to the reso-
lutions known as the Second Declara-
tion of Independence" said by thirty
one Senator's on the closing day of the
last Congress. That resolution declar-
ed it to be "the sense of the Senate
that while it is their sincere desire
that the nations of the world should
unite to promote peace and general
disarmament, the constitution of the
league of nations in the form now pro-
posed to the peace conference should
not be accepted by the United States"
That resolution was aimed at the
un-American propositions contained in
that constitution. The fact that few
of the articles have been rearranged,
that the method of admission to the
league is made more specific, that
unanimous agreement of members of
the council is required, and other sim
ilarly insignificant changes and ad-
ditions have been made in the first
draft, does not alter in the least de-
gree the menace the document holds
for the principles under which we have
prospered for 140 years. The signers
of the Second Declaration of Independ-
ence are discerning men. If it was
their sense that the constitution as
first brought to this country by Mr..
Wilson SHOULD not be accepted by the
United States" they will take an
equally determined stand against the
present document.

ARTIFICIAL ICE PLANT PUT IN
BY CONNOR ICE CREAM CO.

The Connor Ice Cream Co. has be-
gun the construction of an artificial
ice plant adjoining its present plant at
Exchange and Ball streets, and ex-
poets to be making ice by July /.
The plant will be 40 feet square, two
stories high and of brick and will have
a capacity of 18 tons of ice per day
This, according to ]. j. Mcdonald,
general manager, would take care of
all of the domestic consumption Of the
city. The new plant completed will
represent an investment of about $16,-
O0C.
A large tank 30x1Sx4 feet is being
installed by the Owosso Boiler Works,
for the freezing. Of water. Smaller
tanks, 168 in number, holding water
enough to make 800 pounds of ice, fit
into these large tanks. 1t will take 4o
hours to freeze the water. 1t could
be frozen quicker but the ice would Be
brittle.
Spring water will be used in making
the ice, insuring its purity. A well
that will be 200 feet deep and six in
ches in diameter is now being driven
by Miles Lindsey to take care Of the
needs of the ice plant. 1t will flow
5000 gallons an hour. With additional
equipment that the ice cream COM
pany will install it will have capaci-
ty of so tons refrigeration. Accord
ing to Mr.. Mcdonald, his company will
be able to put artificial ice on the
market at slightly higher cost than
that of natural ice.

y Eugene S. Brewer, proprietor OF
the Strand theater has purchased the
business block adjoining the theater
on the south, of Oliver Salisbury. The
deal includes all of the stores from
corner of Exchange and Washington
street to the alley in the rear.
The purchase was made with the
view of ultimately utilizing at least
part of the newly acquired property
to enlarge the Strand. At times the
present seating capacity is not suffi-
cient to accommodate the crowds at
the popular playhouse and it will be
enlarged some time in the future.

of banding negroes together for the
killing of white people. This union
was started by Robert L. Hill negro
twenty-six years of age, of Winches-
ter, Ark, who saw in 1t an opportuni-
ty Of making easy Money. He had
been q farmer all his life but lately
has been posing as private detective
doing work in this and all foreign
countries"
Chill started his first union work
in April of this year." 1ir. Allen said.
"He told the negroes it was necessary
for all members of the union to arm
themselves in preparation for the day
when they should be called upon to
attack their white opprcssors.
NEGRO men are charged $1.5O en-
trance fees and negro women fifty
CENTS" Allen said in his statement.
Sold Shares in Union.
Another form Of extortion was to
sell shares Of $40 each to all the
negroes in a proposed building to be
erected by the union at Winchester,
Hill would find out what negroes
possessed thrift stamps and liberty
bonds and would issue certificate
stating that so many shares had been
purchased at $40 per snare and all
negroes buying shares in the amount
of $50 or more were told that their
names would be engraved in the build
ing. In others, he had so planned his
campaign that any negro possessing
from fifty cents to $5r was given an
opportunity to invest IN something
connected with the union.
"Anothcr scheme used by Hill to OBJ
tain money was to appoint leading
negroes in each lodge as private
and foreign detective furnishing them
large nickle plated stars and a "pair
Of nickel plated handouts for which
they paid him $50 each.
"His meeting at Winchester in
August was attended and addressed by
white men. He simply played upon
the ignorance and superstition Of
race of childrcn-most of whom
neither read nor write.

lodges in that section. The stories
they tell are almost identical as to the
promises and representations made by
Hill he even told them that probably
some Of the negroes would be called
upon to die before equal rights
would be assured, but they must look
upon themselves as crusaders and die
if necessary to secure the freedom of
the other members of their race.

Orders for Fall Silks Com.
ing in From Road
Statesmen

Most of the orders received in the
silk trade yesterday were those sent
in by travelling statesmen. Nearly all
of the orders were for fall fabrics, and
the trade henceforth will give most
of its attention to selling autumn
weaves. Few buyers appeared in the
showrooms, but Easter Monday sell
dom sees many visiting merchants In
the market Besides the final days of
the Jewish Passover, and the suspen-
sion of work among numerous cutters
because most of their Italian workers
took Il day off to welcome troops re-
turning from Italy, rendered business
in spring weaves rather quiet Desir-
able grades of the spring fabrics now
seem to be in scant supply, and on
that account buyers who must have
such goods to replenish their stocks,
have to pay advanced prices
Some of the travelling men who have
been touring the south in quest of fall
orders will arrive home next week,
when a numerous body of buyers from
the South are expected in the market
for autumn shades.

Rubber
ReuiuaI OF Sports Causes
Rush Of Orders for
Tennis Balls

Dealers in sporting goods who early
last fall placed small orders for tennis
balls to be delivered this spring are
now back in the market buying addi-
tional stocks to carry them over the
season just starting, which is expected
to set Il new record for this sport.
Manufacturers of these balls, in the
construction of which q large percent
age of rubber is used, declare that the
coming peace has entirely changed the
aspect of their business.
Last fall wien their statesmen were
on the road taking orders for this
spring and summers goods, dealers
were rather skeptical about the out
look for the sport, and they bought
sparingly. The armistice and the re-
turn of the soldiers changed the sit
uation, and now the dealers are plac~
ing larger orders. Delivery of tennis
balls by manufacturers usually runs
from April to September.
Quite the reverse of this situation
exists in tennis shoes, for which
dealers last fall placed large orders
in anticipation of shortage. Also,
they expected TO pay their tennis shoe
bills with the proceeds from tho sale
Of rubbers during the winter. AS the
rubber footwear business was far be-
low normal the dealers are now re-
questing the manufactures to delay de-
livery of tennis shoe orders.
