Gurk, whose execution was the first

Governor and judges of the Territory
Of Michigan were to act as q Legisla-

In the beginnings Of government in
Michigan Judge Woodward took on a
new personality. From the beginning
he showed himself the master mind Of
the new government writes the able
Michigan historian, william A. jerks
At the first meeting of the judges
Woodward signed the minutes as "Chief
Justice" although no such title had
been given him.
Increasingly high handed and die

originate and press to completion all

He wrote Michigan's first code Of

article is deeply indebted to Mr.. Moore
for many valuable suggestions.
The date Of Woodward's birth pos
sibly will never be known. B'!t he was
baptized and named Elias Brevoort
Woodward in the Dutch Reformed
Church, New York City, on November
6, 1774. His father. John Woodward.
was shopbeeper, later a soldier in the
Revolutionary Army, and still later an
employe of the State Of Pennsylvania.
While Woodward was on the Michigan
bench, he incurred severe criticism
when he appointed his father. then 80
years old, clerk Of the court. John
Woodward died before reaching Detroit
Woodward was named for his
mothers uncle, Elias Brevoort, a we'll
-to-doA New York merchant. who also
stood as godfather for the infant.
While 1t is stated on competent au-
thority that the Woodwards moved to
Philadelphia in 1889, there is reason
to believe that young Elias entered CO.
lumbia College (now Columbia Uni
versity), in New York, at that time.
The college records show he was grad
uated in arts with q small class in 1898.

his name the initials "A E. B."

NRA Administrator LaudS
Monetary Initiation
Experiment.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-Members of
the National Association of Man
ufacturers. many of which oppose
the NRA labor and licensing pro-
visions and the Roosevelt none
tary policies, digesCed today a Wig
orous defense of these principles
made by NRA Administrator Hugh
s. Johnson.
Johnson's speech, delivered at the
associations banquet last night and
aimed at critics of the recovery
program, was outspoken. but lacked
the fire of recent addresses.
He urged an audience, some criti-
cal to the point Of hostility, to get
aboard this ship with President
Roosevelt, who, "on sound ground, "
was giving the initiation theory a
sound test without jumping into
an unmeasured abyss"
Earlier in the day. the audience
applauded an attack on managed
industry, which included plea for
rugged individualism,' as opposed
to ragged collectlVlsm.
The country is conducting a
monetary experiment, but it did not
throw away body, soul and breeches
to do it as it would have done if it
had gone headlong to the printing
presses-either on the urging of the
greenbacks or on a congressional re-
bound from the insistence OF the in
flexible one hundred gold centers,
johnson said. The more the latter
insist the greater the danger"
Johnson warned that we must
not destroy our industries for an
economic ideal" He told them in
plain words that an appeal to con-
gress for readjustment Of the labor
provisions Of the code would react
to industry's detriment.
In the present temper of con-
gress and the country there is far
more apt to be a tightening than
relaxation of the labor provisions
Of this law he said. And any
such violent reactionary propaganda
and attack as occurred last May is
likely to duplicate the effect then
produced. 1t is almost certain that
a bill for a five day six-hour week
will be introduced"
Hundreds Of exhaustive studies by
the MIRA, he added, have demon
strated that "a fiat thirty-hour week
would now prove ruinous."

soundest money on the face of the
