THE YALE EXPOSITOR, THURSDAY. MARCH 6, 1913. Hews from the state capitol ARR SHOES MADE OF LEATHER? MAKERS 'FESS UP BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE. THE TEXT BOOK BILL WILL BE A SCRAP MAKER SURE. Features of Legislative Work and Phases of Legislation as Develop ed Day by Day at the Capitol. 3y Curd M. Hayes. It camo as a severe shock to the tuembera of the senate committee on fetate affairs to learn that 99 per cent all shoes which retail for less than $5 and $6 contain substitutes for leather and would be affected by a Hrfcasure requiring the labeling of all footwear In which substitutes for leather are used. And yet this informa tion Mas brought out when a number uf 6hoe manufacturers appeared be fore the committee .in opposition to Senator Woodworth's bill. The shoe manufacturers insist that the so-called 'horn fiber" counters are superior to leather and fiber boxes In the toes of the cheaper grades will outwear cheap leather and are not susceptible to water. They claim substitute inner soles are just as good fcnd by their use better grade leather may be used in the outer so:e. They claim it is better to use fiber substi tute in building up heels in cheap hoes. They arcue that although a leather fhoa can be made cheap, it will not 4,'ompare with the article containing scientific substitutes and that any thing marked as containing imitations of substitutes would be ignored by the buying public in spite of the fact that It would be a much better wearing fchoe than a cheap design complying Tvith the pure leather provision. The house committee on education reported out a uniform text book bill known as the Dunn-Young bill, which provides for establishing the uniform i?xt book system in Michigan and making it compulsory on every dis irict, except that districts may pur chase the books prescribed and furn ish them free to pupils. This a'ction is In direct contravention to the wishes of a majority of the school boards of ilie state, their request being that cities having or establishing the free text book system, be exempted from fhe provisions of the bill. A majority of-thc committee was not In favor of this exemption, however, s bitter fight will be made on the floor ver thi3 question and will be renewed in the senate if necessary. Rumors of j scandal in connection with the school j look question have been current since :he first day ot the session, but no definite hint of what is being done !oug this line has developed. Rep resentatives of book companies are here and a mars of literature has been ci.stributed among members at. the ex panse of some one. The substitute bill provides for a j Trxt book commission consisting of the governor, superintendent of public in- tnjctlon, president of :hc agricultural rolK-se and two members to be ap pointed by the governor. This commis sion will select. Uih so-called "basil Looks" whi::h must be sold at 7 per r-nr. of the price charged Li the Klate j iit present ror those books. I lie sys tem covers all gir.des ;f the schools. School boards of districts or cities xnay furnish school books Tree, but must purchase the basil books al though supplemental books not ap proved by the commission may be added. If passed the bill will take ef fect Sept. 1, 1914. Although considerable opposition de veloped to . the Odell bill providing 'that the dairy and food commissioner jnay combine the various funds ap propriated for his department into one pot for use he considers in the best in terests of the state, the house passed the measure by a vote of 53 to 34. It is explained that under the existing laws The commissioner often finds the fund for some particular department work exhausted, with the work uncom pleted, while another department fund Is plethoric with money lor which there is no use. The bill has passed the senate and is now up to Governor Ferris for approval or veto, and it is expected that th bill will receive the eal of approval from the chief execu tive. Under the provisions of the Lee bill 'which has passed thi house, conduct ors on railway trains are given police jiowers to handle drunks, as well as 4o confiscate liquors. The bill provides that the conductor may &rrcjt drunken jiassengers and turn ther,i over to po lice officers at the next convenient station, and any liquor confiscated must be turned over to the station ftfent to whom the owner may apply for his wet goods. Th minimum reu nify provided Is a fine of $25 or 30 days in Jail for tho-e couueird or drurkenu. unrtrr this impure. According to statistics prepared by State Accountant F. Z. Hamilton, there will be a good decrease In the general purpose tax this year, Two years ago, the general purpose tax necessary to care for expenses not provided for specifically in appropriation measures and including a million d611ars deficit, totalled actually 13,223,000. This year the estimate of the general purpose tax -Is but $1,788,570, a decrease of $1,434,430 from the figures of two years ago. The million dollar deficit mu9t be de ducted from this, but even with this left out, the decrease still is nearly half a million. Friends of former Gov ernor Osborn claim this Is a vindica tion of his policies of economy. Under the estimate of State Account ant Hamilton, the legislative session will cost in the neighborhood of $1, 750,000. This makes the estimate for 1913 somewhat heavier than In 1914. The actual expense for 1913 will be about $1,792,160 and for 1914, $1,50C, 160. These totals are reduced by the credit of certain fixed incomes such as the automobile tax, federal fund for care of old soldiers, etc., which aggre gate some $750,000 annually. The act ual amount necessary for the general purpose fund for 1913 will be $1,093, 785, while for 1914 it will be $748,785. Chairman Hinkley, of the ways and means committee, of the house, had al lowed some $300,000 too much for the general purpose fund, so despite the fact that some $500,000 of additional requests for apropriatlons came into the committee during the past week, the total of appropriations asked for up to the present time is a trifle more than $17,000,000. More appropriation bills are being drawn and the grand total is apt to reach $19,000,000 before the close of the session. With practically no opposition the house passed the Catlin re-apportionment bill changing the congressional districts, but it Is reported on good authority that the measure will have rough sledding in the senate. The bill as it was sent to the senate provides the following districts: First district First, third, fifth, seventh, ninth, eleventh, thirteenth and seventeenth wards of Detroit. Second district Oakland, Monroe and Lenawee, and the couuty of Wayne, outside of Detroit. Third district lOaton, Calhoun, Kal amazoo, Uranch and Hillsdale. Fourth district Ottawa, Allegan, Van Buren, Berrien, Cass and St. Jos eph. Fifth district Kent, Ionia and Bar ry. Sixth district Shiawassee, Ingham, Livingston, Jackson and Washtenaw, Seventh district Huron, Tuscola, Sanilac Lapeer, St. Clair and Mc Comb. Highth district Gratiot, Saginaw, Clinton and Genesee. Ninth district Leelauan, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Mainstee, Wexford, Mason, Lake, Oceana, Newaygo, Mus kegon and Montcalm. Tenth district Kalkaska, Crawford, Oscoda, Alcona, Missaukee, Roscom mon, Ogemaw, Iosco, Oceola, (Marc, Gladwin, Arenac, Mecosta, Isabella, Midland, Bay. Eleventh district Alger, Delta, Menominee, Schoolcraft, Luce, Mack inac, Chippewa, Emmet, Cheboygan, I'resque Isle, Charlevoix, Antrim, Ot sego, Montmorency and Alpena. Twelfth district Kcewenaw, Hough ton, Ontonagon, Gogebic, Baraga, Iron, Marquette and Dickinson. Thirteenth district Second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, twelfth, four teenth, sixteenth and eighteenth wards of Detroit. By a vote of 2( to 5 the renate pass ed the concurrent resolution provid ing for the submission of tJie equal suffrage amendment at tho spring election Senator Winegar, of Iron Mountain, was the only progressive in the upper-house to vote against, the resolution. Senator Fitzgibbon, of Fort Huron; Hanley, Murtha and George G. Scott, of Detroit, cast negative votes. The resolution was amended so that foreign born women will not be eligi ble to vote until they have remained in the state for a period of five years. As the resolution originally read, the wife of any naturalized citizen would be eligible to the ballet In case the amendment is adopted at the spring election. Efforts to amend the resolu tion so as to prevent women from holding office or serving on juries fail ed. Thus far bills have been Introduced covering every subject known to man, and Rep. Martz, of Detroit, has pre pared a measure that will be presented soon making a closed season for angleworms. Every organization that Is interested in legislation has its rep resentatives In Lansing to work for or ugainst some particular bill. Death entered tho house of repre sentatives for the second time during the present session when Rep. Joseph G. Unsoeld, of Detroit, expired sud denly while sitting at his derk. By a peculiar coincidence Rep. Unsoeld oc cupied a desk next to the one used by Rep. Joseph Greusel, who died a few days ano. Both men camp from De troit and botii were republicans. Rep. Unsoeld was serving hi3 third form rind was J8 years of ap.c. Apoplexy was the entire of his death. COAL MEN MULCT PUBLIC$10,000,000 WAGE INCREASES FOR 1912 TO TALED $4,000,000, BUT CON SUMERS PAID $13,450,000. SOME SALES WERE MADE AT BIG PREMIUMS. Operators, Dealers and Miners All Gainred, But, Consumers Pid Higher Prices Without Compensation. Hard coal companies increased the wages of their employes $4,000,000 a year by the strike agreement of last May and Increased the price of anthra cite to consumers $13,450,000. ac cording to a report based on an in vestigation by the bureau of labor submitted to the bouse. The report submitted by Secretary Nagel is the result of an investiga tion conducted in response to a bouse resolution asking for the "ele ments of cost and profit included in the present high price of anthracite." An average increase of 26 cents a ton in wholesale coal prices was dis covered to have been made since the strike agreement of last May. In spite of' the fact that the work ers benefited about $4,000,000 in in creased wageB during the year, the report adds that "the recent in creases in prices have been more than sufficient to compensate fully those companies whose costs of production have increased more rapidly during recent years, and at the same time have very greatly Increased the profits of those companies, of whom there are several whose costs of production either decreased or remained station ary during the same period." U. S .Troops Kills Mexicans in Border Battle. For nearly half an Lour in Douglas, Ariz., a force of 60 Mexican soldiers engaged 16 United States troopers of the Ninth cavalry under Liuet. Mich uelson, on the iternational boundary line, until probably six of the Mexi cans had been killed, several wound ed and troops E and F of the Ninth cavalry arrived to reinforce the hand ful of Americans. Reports of the casualties differ, some running as high as six Mexi cans killed and others giving only four as the definite number of dead. City officials of Douglas in communi cation with state officials in Phoenix immediately after the fight declared the negro troopers had killed six of their opponents, and ured the state department to use every effort to pro tect the lives of Americans on this side of the border. Mexico Warned Not to Kill Hostile Leaders. A warning has been served on the Mexican government that the whole sale execution of anti-government leaders will not be tolerated. The warning which was friendly in tone and couched in diplomatic lan juiaye made plain the principle of the state department that the United States does not wish to interfere in the affairs of another nation. At the same time, however, it was pointed out that the laws of huMimity must be obeyed no matter how serious the stress of conditions confronting a. gov r i ii men t. The note was handed to Senor de la Dana. Mexican secretary of state for foreign fifl'ai.-s, by Unit d States Am bassador Henry Lane Wilson. It was received in a spirit of friendship and copies w re later taku: to President llurrta tsnd the cabinet. Turk6 Are Ready for Peace Pact. The Turkish government definitely abandoned its prohibitive stipulations in' connection with peace and placed the Ottoman cause unreservedly in the hands of the European jowers, with a request to conclude peace as advant ageously as possible for Turkish inter ests. . Unless, as has been the case before, Turkey charges her mind before terms can "be concluded, it is" believed her direct peace negotiations will be re sumed speedily, with every prospect of an early settlement. All unimproved church property in Muskegon will be taxed following a decision of the city council. To Insure the residents of Hastings a square deal in weights of coal, hay and other commodities sold by weight in Urge qualities In Hastings, citizens are liberally signing a petition asking the city council to establish a munici pal scale. Suit has been begun by the Rogers Iron Manufacturing Co., in Muskegon, against Mm. Esther Rand, daughter of the late William F. Clirystal and ad ministratrix of his estate, for an ac counting. For 30 years Clirystal was secretary of the company, and it is alleged that by false entries during that time ho defrauded the company out of about $1:0,000. In a determined effort to stamp out the drunk habit, Chief of Police Stro be!, of JackKon, has issued orders to send to Ionia every Dan v.hoe paat record v.il! permit it. 15 KILLED Hi HOTEL FIRE Many Guests Are Caught as Roof Col lapses In Omaha Fire. Fire, believed to have been caused Ly a gas explosion, cost 15 or more lives in Omaha, Neb., and caused a loss of $250,000. The Dewey hotel, a second class hostelry at Tfclrteejith, and Pumam streets, tfs destroyed by fire which swept the three-story build ing with a speed that precluded at tempts at rescue. Some of the guests had time to reach the stairway, but others were caught by the collapsing roof of the structure before they could be rescued from window sills on which they had taken refuge. Several victims jumped or fell from windows and met either instant death or mortal injury. $0,000,000 Syrup "Trust" Sued.

It began in my hair first with red blotches, then scaly, spreading to my face. The blotches were icd on my face, dry and ecaly, not large; on my scalp they were larger, some scabby. They came on my hands. The inside of my hands were all little lumps as though full of shot about one-sixteenth of an inch under the skin. Then they went to the outildo and between and all over my fingers. It also began on the bot toms of my feet and the calves of my lege, and Itch, oh, my! I never had anything like It and hope I never will again. The itching was terrible. My hands got so I could scarcely work. "I tried different eczema ointments but without results. I also took medi cine for it but it did no good. I saw the advertisement for a sample of Cuticura Ointment and Soap and cent for one. They did me no much good I bought some more, using them ai per directions, and in about three weeks I was well again. Cuticura Soap and Ointment entirely cured me." (Signed) BenJ.
