DANITL WALSER, PROPRIETOR
OF CIGAR STAND AND CONFEC
TIONERY, THE VICTIM—POLICE
HAVE SUSPECT LOCKED UP.
John Corcoran, au ex-con vie t, well
known to (ho police, wav the Hi at man
to be caught In (he drag net that ha*
been thrown out for suspects m con
nection with the murder of Dan Wal
aer In his confectionery store at No.
70S Woodward ave. at iu:3u o clock,
Wednesday night.
Corcoran was hanging around the
city hull steps, where the street news
boys make their headquarters, about
4:30 o’clock, Thursday morning, wait
ing for a paper, the officers :ay. us
though he were anxious to see some
thing it contained. When Detectives
Palmei and Bodinus accosted aim h'd
began to make all sorts of excuses
for being there and they decided to
lock him up. Ho Is detained in cen
tral station. Corcoran Is 3u years old
and gave his address as No. 130 Mich-
Igan-ave. He has served time uu
more than one conviction.
M. Beeks, a Wabash switchman, liv
ing at No. 74 Slxteenth-st., called at
police headquarters about 7 o’clock
with what appeared to be a promising
clue. While at work in the yards m
the vicinity of Twelfth st just before
2:30 o’clock, two men, whom he sized
lift as tramps, though fairly well
dressed, approached him and asked
direction for reaching Adrian by
freight. One of the men was about
five feet seven Inches In height and
was horeheaded, while the other wii
three or four inches taller and wore
a soft black hat,
A train was then being made ;in and
Beeks pointed out a row of empty box
cars that would take them to their
destination. Later they Jumped Into
one of the cars and Beeks, as N the
custom, shut the woor on them and
locked It.
Trainmen take no chances with
hoboes who air allowed to ride with
them and lock them In as a precau
tion against possible hold-ups. A few
minutes-later the train pulled out for
the Oakland yards, where there was
considerable switching to lie done be
fore it finally started on its way.
On his return home, after his night’s
work, Beeks learned of the tragedy,
and became Interested at once over
tteJreport that one of the men lost
his fiat In the struggle with their vic
tim. He recalled the bareheaded man
and his companion instantly, and lost
no time in reporting the Incident to
the police. Detective Dick Stentor
was detailed to accompany him to the
Onkwood yards in the hope of appre
hending the pair before tho freight
pulled out.
The two men answer in a general
way the description given by Charlea
F. Hartman, grocer at N» 751 Wood,
wnrd-ave., of two men MM running
from the scene of the tragedy.
Robbery Plainly the Motive.
That Walser was shot as a result
of an attempt to rob him. which he
frustrated, is the theory of the police.
Walser locked up the store shortly
after 10 o’clock and went to the saloon
irt BenJ F. Gllnes, No. 721* Woodward
ave.. where he drank a glass of beer.
About 10:*30 o’clock he returned to
the store, and, it is believed, was fol
lowed by the two 'men. The theory
is that the men asked for a package
of tobacco and that as Walser turned
to take -birr*"
of the counter one of them struck him
from behind, Intending to knock him
senseless anil then rub him.
But the blow missed or there was
a hitch somewhere, for there are many
evidences of a struggle in the store.
A show came was broken and in the
struggle one of the would-be robbers
lost his hat, which, thus far, is the
only tangible clue to the identity of
The pair. Ii is h derbv, size 7. bearing
the label, "Frankland brand.”
Failing to overpower Walser, the
robbers evidently resorted to revolv
ers to effect their escape, and after
shooting down the proprietor, fled from
the scene at once without stopping to
carry out their original robbery plans.
The money drawer, when the police
trrlvod, contained uhum~sz and some
12 was found in Walser’s pockets.
Two shots were fired. Grocer Hart
man heard them and went out to In
vestigate, when he saw two men run
ning away from Walscr’s place toward
John R.-st.. one block east. A moment
later Walser emerged from the store
and fell in a -heap tm tb>- sidewalk.
Patrolman James Michaelak was
promptly at his side and called Har
per ambulance. Walser died while
being cairted into the hospital without
having uttered a word.
Get Drinks at Nearby Saloon.
About 15 minutes before the shoot
ing two men were drinking In John
Spears' saloon, at No. M 7 Woodward
ave. They appeared to boos a rather
rough sort. One of them was about
six feet In height and about 23 years
of ago, whil< the other appeared to be
10 years older and five feet eight
Inches in height. There Is a possibil
ity that these wcr*> the men who kill
ed Walser. Spears heard them «poak
of taking a car to Pontiac.
Walser was s*'» years old and
been divorced from his wife. He bad

ROOSEVELT QUIETS
THE FEARS Os
JAPAN
SEIZES ON TOKIO’S DEFERRED
EXPOSITION AS EXCUSE TO EX
PRESS THIS GOVERNMENT’S
FRIENDSHIP.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Sept. 3.
Through tho issue of a letter from
President Roosevelt to Secretary of
State Root, commending the decision
of the Japanese government to post
pone the Toklo exposition from 1912
to 1917, a diplomatic end Is put to the
sensation created by the hurried visit
of Baron Takahira, the Japanese am
bassador, to the president last Satur
day.
This is as much of the truth ns will
ever be publicly known about the af
fair, though the fact remains, and is
susceptible of proof, that Baron Taka
hira hurried to the president with a
direct command from his emperor to
ask pointedly about the rumors of an
Amerlcan-Chinese entente and the
bearing that the tactical approach of
two American fleets to the shores of
Japan had on these rumors.
Private Assurances.
It is understood, however, that, pri
vately, the president assured Takahira
that the United Stntes has nothing
but peaceful attentions with regard to
the yellow giant of the orient, that
there Ib no significance in tho pres
ence of the second fleet within strik
ing distance of Japan, and that there
is nothing In the present situation that
need In any way cause worry in the
Japanese foreign office.
From the manner in which the let
ter to the secretary of state was made
public it was clearly the Intention of
(ha pit sldi nt to have it understood
llifll The postponement of the exposi
tion was the sole object of the visit of
the Japanese ambassador, yet when
the direct question war asked as to
whether the president, by making tlie
letter public, wished it to be known
that Taklra called upon him with re
gard to this alone, Acting Secretary
Forster said.
’ There is nothing more to say.”

STATE FAIR GATES
THROWN OPEN
TO CROWDS
BIG SHOW IS ON FULL BLAST—
IT 18 BETTER THAN EVER WITH
IMPROVED ACCOMMODATIONS
FOR THE PATRONS.
Tho Big Show Is open.
Thursday morning the Michigan
state fair threw open Its gates to tho
public with the largest set of exhibits
and attractions that has ever been
shown at a fair In this state. Tho
steady progress of the fair since it
wus brought to Detroit is shown by
the big improvements made in
grounds and buildings.
borne crudities which were notice
able last season have been done away
with and the officials of the Michigan
Agricultural society are already be
ginning to see their ideas of an ideal
fair come true.
The permanent buildings already
erected are a contrast to the flimsy
and hideous structures usual to fairs
the country over, In their solidity and
good looks. Everywhere green lawna
occupy the vacant spaces and beds of
blossoming flowers soften the severity
of tho conventional lines of buildings
and enclosures.
An improvement, which will be ap
preciated by all is the system of ce
ment walks leading to all the prin
cipal buildings. These walks are
(broad enough to accommodate big
crowds, and they extend to tho race
track, through the Mtdawy, along tho
lines of tents and exhibits.
Exhibits Mostly in Place.
By far the greater portion of tha
‘exhibits were In place Wedonsday
night, although there was some hust
ling left to do Thursday morning to
get e\*rythlng ship-shape before tho
lig crowds arrive. Hundreds of men
■ and women were engaged in unpack
ing goods fnuu boxes, tacking up
bunting and j/enerally arranging their
| wans to make the best impression on
the hundreds of thousands of sight
seers who will vlst the fair.
Especially along the Midway things
were lively. There are more shows
than ever appeared before nt a fair
in this part of the country—and bet
ter shows for the moat part, the man
ageraent has reason, to believe. So
many applications were made for
space in this amusement village that
i the undesirable and fake enterprises
; had little chance to get iu.
Salome dances are barred.
A half dozen different manager*
warred to put on the Salome dance as
an attraction. They werew ililrg to
offer all kinds of inducements, know
ing that the sud woo and mean a rich
harvest for them. But the manage
ment could not lie assured that the
dnnre was to be a strictly zibliral af
fair and coldly rejected all offers.
One committee of ladles waited on
Ihe management with a request (o be
allowed to bring Mrs, Carrie Nation
to 'h»; Fair for a series of daily lee
turns. They argued that she would
merely talk on moral topic without at
tempting to do anything of a violent
nature that would make trouble. Bu*
the officials feared tha' violence might
arise and withheld permission for Mrs.
Nation to orate.
Os Course, an Airship.
Through the destruction of Jack
Dallas' airship by fire, the fair man
agenunt has had to mnke hurried ar
range monte for ttmrthv— mrrrhtp. Ltn
roln Beachy, who has been making
flights in Florida, Is the substitute
and he left hurriedly Wednesday
night to get here in time for flight
Saturday.
The hospital on the grounds has
been put in charge of Peter J. Abt of :
the East End ambulance.
Six minute service is now being'
Lslvsm. by the D. Ur U , but thisv. Hi be
Increased as needed.
So great was the demand for llcketa
in the state that the sale had to he
•continued a day or so longer than ex
pected.
Detroit business men have mani
fested a spirit to co-operate with the ;
fair management w hich has gladden-1
ed the officials. A numhcr of con--}
ceros which have exhibits on the j
grounds and would ordinarily be en
titled to passes, have voluntarily pur- :
chased blocks of 50 or 100 tickets for 1
their employes.
"I’m glad to find this liberality'
among the business men,” says Presl- 1
dent Postal. "Free passes do not pay'
for rrmt at walks, premium lista and;
Improvements to buildings and
grounds.”
Detroiters should feel an interest,
in their fair and tho disposition to pay
for tickets rather than claim them on
one ground or another is a hopeful
sign of a healthy Interest.

VETERANS CHEER
AS FORAKER AND
TAFT SHAKE
FORMER ENEMIES MEET IN TO
LEDO AND PATCH UP THEIR
DIFFERENCES BEFORE ENTHUS
IASTIG THRONG.
(By a Staff Correspondent.)
TOLEDO, 0., Sept. 3. —A cool breeze
from the picturesque Maumee ians the
city of Toledo, today. The change in
temperature Is welcomed by tho G. A.
R. veterans, who were affected o.v the
extremely hot weather that ushrd in
the first day of the forty-second an
nual encampment. It was feared thui
many of the aged soldiers could not
stand the fatigue of the long march
yesterday, but the cool breezes, which
began to comfort the sweltering
pie yesterday morning, revived tho
veterans for the parade,
j The aged veterans *nd the women
; who are affiliated with the G. A. R.
j were around early this morning, drink
ing In the fresh breezes that ushered
lin the wake of day. Scores of tun
i veterans went to the outskirts of the
! city and to other places to remain
i until the sessions began in the Valen
tine. Other throngs sauntered about
the Hotels and city buildings, which
have been utilized for their comfort,
discussing the war of long ago. Far
across the idyllic fields, flung to tne
breeze from an historic old tree Is an
American flag. This is at Fort Meigs
monument, where Geu. Harrison be
came the hero of the hour.
Today was given to opening ses
sions of the G. A. R. and the organiza
tions affiliated with it. The O. A. It.
will hold Its meeting In the Valentine
theater; the W. R. U. in the Ashland
Avenue church; Daughters of Veter
ans In the Eleventh Street church;
ladies’ O. A. R. In St. Paul’s church.
Campfires, which kindle the emo
tions of soldier and laymen, .will be
held In various places. The com
mander-ln-chief's campfire will take
place In the Valentine, while Memorial
hall, Cook'H hall. Elk’s hall, and
Friendship temple will also be tho
scene* of campfires.
Two Noteworthy Event*.
Two events that will punctuate the
pages of history distinguished the pa
rade yesterday. These happenings Im
pressed equally as vivid the veterans
as did the tragic scenes and desola
tlon, and the elements of romance that
marked the conflict of the '6o’s. One
event was the affecting meeting be
tween William H. Taft, the Repub
lican presidential nominee, and Joseph
B. Foraker. United States senator
from Ohio. This meeting occurred Ir.
the official reviewing stand as tho
aged soldiers marched proudly by to
the strains of martial music.
The other Incident waa the sight
of the veterans In the parade. It was
a touching and picturesque scene. Tho
eyes of scores of the elder and young
cr generation were dimmed by tears
as the soldiers hobbled by. It was
accepted as an inevitable fact that
stores of these soldiers, who, backed
by courage and patriotism went to the
front In the '6o’r, will never live to
see another G. A. R. national encamp
ment, for they arc dying at about 10,-
000 a year. Countless mementoes are
today preserved of yesterday’s pa
rade, which was held through streets
boderked with American colors. And
it was a touching scene, too, to wit
neH the women of the G. A. R. who
wretched through every hour of every
day and through the deep breathing
of the silent nights for the return of
their loved ones during the civil war.
Taft and Foraker Meet.
The march of the soldiers yester
day upon a mission of peace was 1r
keeping with the meeting between Mr.
Taft and Senator Foraker. The first
meeting between thes** statesmn oo
currJ amklst the cheers of thousands,
whose emotions had been apepaled to
strongly by the sight of th** veterans.
It was a natural following that Mr.
Taft and htsL former bitter political op
ponent should bo applauded. And no
persons were happier than the friends
of the two men, for they realized that
harmony In Ohio was an essential fea

CORONER IS INVESTIGATING THE
DEATH OF MISS MARIE RE-
INKS AT RODAnOE , 9.-
Ooroner Bennett la Investigating the
drowning of Miss Marie Roinke, 25
years ol<l, of No. 88 Maybury Grand
ave., in the river off Robarge’s dock
late Tuesday night. Although several
people were standing on the dock, it
was fully 15 minute* before the body
was recovered, and this is the phase
of the case that the coroner will in
vestigate' particularly. He lias iiskcd
the pullet—tO UH3tat.
The body of Miss Roinke is in the
county morgue with the neck broken,
a broken rib and bruises about the
face, breast and abdomen, but these
injuries, the coroner savs un> e:ndlit
n< counted for by The fact that the
body was rolled about for more than
an hour In an effort to resuscitate tho
young woman.
Miss lteinke spent the early part
of the evening in visiting the amuse
ment resorts in the vicinity of the
Belle Isle bridge, in company with
Fred B t r. No. 923 Meldrum ave.; Wni.
Hauser. Nrr Hilt Adamsave. east, and
a cousin ■ About 10 o’clock they board
ed Stegmeycr’s launch to go to Ro
barge’s resort up the river.
Miss Relnke was the first to get
out of the boat, she walked across
the do< k toward shore and just be
fore she reached land disappeared
over the edge of the dock. She sank
into the water without a cry. The
theory of her friends Is that she
walked too close to tile edge of the
dock and accidentally fell tu.
Tho body was rescued by two broth
ers, Joe and John Schaefer, who hap
pened along 16 minutes after the oc
currence. I)rs. T. A. Dewar, No. 223

spread interest, of the people in pri
mary elections, even though it rnual
be considered that many Democrat*
votes for Warner In this primary.
Gov. Warner has acknowledged de
feat and Dr. Bradley has announced
his intention to ask the legislature for
a state primary law to apply to all
state officers. Lleut-Gov. P. H. Kelley,
who campaigned with Warner, has
hastened to express his desire to work
with Bradley in the campaign and
during the next legislative session.
Horatio S. Earle, who carried only
Kalkaska, will resign his offl-’e as
state highway commissioner the first,
of the- year to allow Dr. Bradley to
make that appolntmentw Ith otners at
th<* beglnnlm <»r his imp.
“I am glad that Warner was defeat
ed.” says Earle.
The complete return) from the up
per peninsula show that Warner car
iied the Iron country by a big voto
while Bradley captured the copper
counties. Thes upport given the un
limited land act by Gov. Warner, in
exchange for upper peninsula support
of his binder twine bill, is supposed
to have secured this big vote toe him.
Huron county, wheie Warner has
big furms, shows suspiciously largo
vote. The total vote this year was
3,280, of which Warner got 2,438.
while the total Republican vote two
years ago was only 2,010.
It develops that Wurner carried a
majority of counties, but Bradley car
ried the big counties and by large ma
jorities. Warner only got a trifle
more than 60 per cent of the vote In
his own county of Oakland.
Th* certain nomination of a govern
or by primary takes interest largely
away from the state convention of
Sept. 29. A state treasurer, auditor
general, secretary of state and other
officers are to be chosen, but the only
big fight seems to be between Palmer,
of Manistee, and Simpson, of Berrien
over the position of auditor general.
Wayne county Republicans have al
ready indorsed Fred Martlndale for
secretary of state.
