Tobias


Harris Tobias, for many years a
very greatly esteemed resident of
this vicinity, died suddenly at his
home in Thetford township, Tuesday,
October 20, from the effects of heart
disease with which he had been af-
flicted more or less for a consider
able period. On the day of his death
he had been in particularly good spir-
its and was standing and engaged in
conversation with his son, Ray, when
seized with the fatal attack. The

He came to Michigan in 1866, set
ting in Mt. Morris Township, and in

Emma Pettingill. In 1884 Mr.. and
Mrs. Tobias moved to farm in Gen.
esee Township and ten years later to
the farm in Thetford which was still
their home at the time of his death.
Mr.. Tobias was splendid citizen,
a good neighbor and an exemplary
husband and father whose memory
will be held in affectionate regard by
all who knew him. In his immediate
family he leaves to mourn their loss
his widow and four children, the lat
ter being Mrs. Myron Felt and Chas.
Tobias of Thetford; Mrs. Fred Un-
derhill, of Clio, and Ray Tobias, who
resides at the family home. Beside
these, the deceased is survived by
one brother, Frank Tobias, of Flint,

forecast yield of 100000 more bush

Livestock conditions were said by the
board to be exceptionally good the coun-

except for sheep. The raw wool market,
however, continued it's characteristic in

the dealers in the Boston district placing
virtually no orders. Such wool as is

GERMAN WAR ENDING
PLAN BEING VETOED
IS NOT EFFECTIVE
Jurist Holds Measures Must
Reach Department in Duly
Established Methods.

Washington, July 29-Chief Justice
Mccoy, of the District of Columbia su-
preme court, Thursday dismissed the pc
tition for mandamus to compel Secretary
Of State Colby to promulgate the CON
gressional peace resolution vetoed by
President Wilson and declare the United
States at peace with Germany and Aus
tria. Harry 5. Mccarthy. an attorney Of
Chicago. who filed the Eetition, noted an
appeal to the district court of appeals
and also announced his intention of seek
ing writ of certiorari from the United
Sites supreme court to transfer the
case to that trib NAL without waiting for
the action Of the district appellate tri-
bunai.
The government attorneys asserted
that the secretary may declare as laws
only such acts of congress as had re-
ceived the approval of the president CT
had been sem to the secretary by the
president of the senate. or the speaker
of the house, depending on which body
was the last to pass the act over the
veto.
AS the peace resolution, after being
vetoed by President Wilson, failed of re-
enactment iii the house. the government
contended the peace resolution never
reached Mr.. Colby and mandamus to
compel him to promulgate something
which he has never received would be
vain and useless.

SENATOR WALSH
WILL SUPPORT
GOVERNOR COX
Bay State Man, Favoring
Pact Reservations
Strong for Nominee

Dayton. O.. July 29.-Goyernor Cox,
Democratic presidential standard bearer
Thursday was pledged the vigorous ard
unrdalified support of Senator David |.
Walsh of Massachusetts, leader among
8enate Democrats who differed widely
4 from the administration on the League OF
Nations and who fought for reservations.
The senator arrived here Unexpectedly.
Il shall aid in every way possible to
secure Governor Cox's election he said.
II voted for him from the first at San
Francisco and shall continue my vigorous
aid.'
Senator Walsh said lie had not learned
Governor Cox's attitude toward reser-
vations and other details of the League
controversy adding that he had mot come
here to discuss or advise with the candl-
date on that or any subject.
"1e was the most progressive and lib
eral candidate in the field at San Fran
CISCO" the senator said.
This will open with an extensive pa
rade at 2;3O y. m., but under revised
plans all speech making was eliminated
E from the program. Governor Cox will
review the parade. however.
Except for Senator Walsh's visit Gov
ernor Cox worked all day on his speech
accepting on August Z the party nomi-
nation. He aims to hold it within eight
newspaper columns or 5000 words, and
might be able to reduce it somewhat.
Hope that the League would not be
the campaigns paramount issue was
expressed by Senator Walsh who led
the successful effort in the platform
committee at San Francisco for the
words in the league plank stating that
the party does not oppose reservations
making Americas obligations clearer and
more specific.
Il hope we can devote more attention
to American questions the senator said
to friends here. asserting that opposition
to profiteering should be stressed.
To query as to whether he approved
the statements of President Wilson and
Governor Cox after their White House
conference, Senator Walsh declined to
answer He declared to visitors that he
still favored League covenant reserva-
tions and would never vote for the
league without reservation to Article 10.
The Republicans, he predicted would
seek to make reservations to Article 10
their principal fight and he said Coy
ernor Cox should be very careful what
position he took.
Irish questions would not be campaign
issues, the seantor predicted.

Cne SUBJECT.
The exchanges between the two gov
ernments on the oil question are under
stood to have begun to take on a more
formal character than a month ago. anC
a note was addressed to the British gov
ernment, which was not in any sense &
protest. for the state department al
that time had little beyond press re
ports on which to work, but was rather
intended to develop the intentions of the
British in regard to the oil fields OF
Mesopotamia and perhaps some of the
Balkan countries. !
A great deal of confusion exists in of
ficial circles here as to the nature of
agreements reported to have been made
between Great Britain aud France, and
perhaps other entente countries, regard
ing the distribution of oil, as in Asia
Minor. Information is being sought
particularly by this government as to
pre- war agreements and the extent Of
government control over the oil fields as
distinguished from undertakings arrang-
ed by private interests which occupy q
different status from an international
standpoint.
Assertions have been made and taken
notice of by the state department thai
the arrangements that are now being
made for the distribution of oil between
the allied countries are in line with the
plans formed by the economic conference
an outgrowth of the peace conference
in Paris. from which the United States
government withdrew when the senate
withheld its approval Of the peace treaty
That conference rejected a continuation
in the eriod after the war Of the system
of joint control of the production ant
distribution of raw materials, under whicl
these materials were rationed among
the entente nations until normal condi-
tions should be restored in the economic
world.
While readily subscribing to the ORR
ginal agreements as necessary war meas
ures, the Washington government is un-
derstood to have resisted the appeals
Of the entente powers to continue il
the combination now that the war
ended, holding that there is no longer
necessity for any such system of ration
ing and that the ordinary forces if busi
ness law should be allowed to prevail
AS petroleum is one of the most i'm
portant of the raw materials which was
rationed during the war and in view of
the rapid diminution Of this country 8
supply, naturally the government here
has felt 1t necessary to omit no effort
to maintain the open door for oil con
sumers Of all nationalities, no matter
where the oil fields might be located

States Will Give Pro
Rata Says Treasurer;
Claims Ohio.

Marion, July 29.-Subjects ranging
from the political outlook in Ohio to
the internal troubles Of China were can
Yassed by Warren G. Harding Thurs
day in long work day crammed with
conferences.
The procession Of callers prevented
completion of the speech the nominee
will deliver here Saturday at the open
ing of his front porch campaign and he
said it would probably be Friday night
before the manuscript would be finished
The address, which will be delivered to
delegation from Mansfield. o., will
be short and is expected to include a
more or less general discussion of the
issues.
The first conference of the day was
with 1000 Chicago business men con-
nected with the financial end of the Re-
publican national committee. who ar
rived III Marion on an early train and
were breakfast guests of Senator Har-
ding at the Marion club. They were ac-
companied by Fred W. Upham Of Chi
cago, the national committee treasurer,
and the later talked over the campaign
finances with the nominee and outlined
in detail the plan perfected in Chicago
for raising a campaign fund by popular
subscription.
''1'his campaign is going to be financed
by truly popular fund.-" Mr.. Upham said.
Arizona is going to contribute its
share, in proper proportion, just exact
ly as New York and Chicago will do.
The idea of popular fund has appealed
to the rank and file of the party.
The Ohio situation was discussed BY
the senator with George Fl. Clark,
chairman Of the advisory committee
which declared that even with the Dem
ocrats making the state one of their
principle backgrounds. there was 10
doubt of Republican success.
"Ohio is Republican, Mr.. Clark said
in a formal statement. She will exceed
her record with a plurality for Harding
and Coolidge
