EIGHTH YEAR, NO. ago.
BRADLEY WILL WIN
BY LESS THAN
1,000 VOTES
RESULT OF PRIMARIES CLOSE,
BUT BRADLEY MEN CONFIDENT
—3ANILAC COUNTY LATE WITH
1,000 MAJORITY FOR WARNER.
T he Republican primary nomination
for governor Is going to go to Dr.
Joiner B. Bradley by a very slight
plurality according to the latest re
turns. At 1 o’clock, Bradley was about
bf.u in the lead with lb precincts still
to hour from. '
Warner men wore making c.'aims
that their man had squeezed thiough,
however.
“There Is absolutely no chance of
DradUy'b defeat," declared J. \V. Me-
Cause), Bradley’s representative it*
Detroit. “We still nave a lead of
nearly a thousand."
The precirits still out are in Ne
waygo. Cheboygan, Mnrquette, Char
levoix. laike and Montmorency coun
ties, all of which ary Warner coun
ties. The Bradley men do not figure
that the pluralities can bo largo
enough, however, to overcome the
doctor s leud.
Some of the counties which weic
considered as likely to glvo Warner
big pluralities have dropped ofi on the
later precincts. Tuscola county gave
him but hi! margin, although it had
teen claimed by sevsral hundred on
the showing of the first precincts
Leelanau comity gave Warner only
89 plurality.
The greatest surprise was Ban<!ac
county. Returns were extremely late
In coming in from that county and it
finally gave Warner i,005 plurality,
which Is pretty nearly unanimous.
Brudley men consider this as very
suspicious.
It now appears that the vote
will exceed -OO.OuO for the tbrte
Republican candidates. Inasmuch as
the vote for secretary of state on the
Republican ticket Is usually about
230,000, the primary will show a vot
ing strength of two-thirds the party’s
Strength.
This effectually pro\es the wide
spread Interest of the people* In pri
mary elections, even though ft must
be considered that many Democrats
voted for Warner in this primary.
Go*-. Warner has acknowledged de
feat and Dr. Bradley has announced
his intention to ask lie* legislature for
a ptato primary law to apply lo all
•fade officers. Lieut-Gov. P. H Kelley,
who campaigned with Warner, has
hasttned to express his desire to woi k
with Bradley In the campaign and
during the next legislative session.
Hoiutlo 8. Earle, who carried only
Kalkaska, will resign his orti e as
state highway commissioner the first
of the year to allow Dr. Brad'ey to
make that appointment with others ut
the beginning of his term.
"I am glad that Warner was defeat
ed.” says Earle.
The complete return • from the up
per peninsula show that Warner car
iled the Iron country by a big vote
while Bradley captured the .upper
counties. The support 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 lo* him.
Huron county, wheie Warner has
big farms, shows a suspiciously large
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 2,810.
U-- llua—W-owve* - etnrled -»
majority of counties, but Bradley car
rled 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.
The 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.

OMAHA. Neb.. Sept. 3.—Today
mystery la deeper than ever in tho
murder of Dr. Frederick T. Ruskln,
who was prominent In the medical
profession both at home and through
out tbe coutnry. The man was found
by Ills wife In a chair on the porch
of their home. He had been shot
and was Just able to gasp out to her,
“A man shot me," when hs died. The
police have abandoned the theory of
suicide and also that of murder wlto
robbery as its motive. Blood stains
Indicate that the doctor was shot In
tho hallway of his home and stag
gered after his assailant until his
rapidly increasing weakness com
pelled him to fall ttno the chair. Mrs
Kuskin, If she* is aide to throw any
light on the tragedy, cannot, for she
has been In a hysterical coudltlon
ever since the death of her husband
I.eona Rurnly, who was with Dr
Ruskln a few minutes before he was
shot Is being detained by tho police
but denies all knowledge of the affair.
What she does tell, however, gives It
a remarkable s'milar aspect to the At
lantic City board walk shooting. Miss
Burnly says she was with Dr. Ruskln
until n late hour of the night he was
shot, and accompanied him to within
a couple of blocks of his home. The
police believe a woman was concern

court of his own accord, Thursday
morning, and pleaded not guilty to the
charge of threatening to kill Leonard
Johnston, with whoso wife Price Is
reported to be on most friendly terms.
Price’s trial was set for Sept. 10, and
his personal recognizance in the sum
of SSOO was accepted by the court as
a guarantee that he would appear
—Mr. Johnston made another visit to
the court during the forenoon. He
wanted an injunction to restrain Price
from paying attentions to his wife and
was quite disappointed when informed
that the court could do nothing for him
In this line, inasmuch as justice
courts have not the power to issue In
luactlofl*. Mr. Johnston was wtttt ac
companied by his bodyguard, Pugilist
Campbell, and the latter was consid
erable put out over the publicity he
had received In connection with the
affair. He was particularly “peeved"

BURGLAR WEARING
HENRY RUSSEL’S
FEDORA
GROSSE POINTE PLUNDERER
IDENTIFIED BY ARISTOCRATIC
SKY-PIECE—REMARKABLY NON
CHALANT CRIME RECOUNTED.
A striking Illustration of the old say
irg, "It’s an ill wind that brings no
body gixid," was furnished, Thursday
morning, in the arrest of Joseph la
varnee, 23 years old, who says his
home Is In Chicago. Lavarnee was
picked up as a suspect In connection
with the murder of Dan Walser by
Patrolmen Ernest? Mack and Fred
Bryan, while loitering in the vicinity
of the Thomas Automobile works, out
Derson-ave., about 3 o'clock a. ni.
Later in the morning ho was trans
ferred to police headquarters. Detec
tive Lieut. Thomas Lally at once
spotted a gray fedora hat worn by the
prisoner us one that had been report
ed stolen from the Grosso Polnte resl
denco of Henry Russel, attorney for
the .ilchlgan Central railroad, las.;
Sunday night, along with valuable
articles of Jewelry.
Sounds Like Stage Skit.
"Where did you get that hat?” de
manded Lally.
"I bought it last Monday,” nnsweyed
the prisoner, and he named a store on
Mlehlgan-ave.
"You lie, you stole it,” asserted
[Ally, as he Jerked the hat from the
man’s head and found that it tallied
exactly ns to size with the stolen sky
piece. "You are the man who broko
Into Mr. Russel’s house."
Lavarnee then “caved" and con
fessed to the Job, making a clear,
breast of the whole affair, which ha<f
been reported to the police only Wed
nesday afternoon.
Lavarnee, it appears, found no dlffl
culty in gaining entrance. The family
oftens leaves the doors unlocked at
night, and Sunday night was one of
these occasions. All Lavarnee had to
do, therefore, was to simply walk in
The household w*as asleep; so was the
family bulldog, apparently, for he
mado no attempt to Interfere until
the Intruder had completed his work
Penchant for Rings.
Heedness of danger, lavarnee ran
sacked the house at will. In one of
the bedrooms he found a handsome
ring, set with 16 diamonds and a
pearl. It had been Mr. Russel’s pres
tlon from college, and was valued at
S2OO. The burglar coolly dropped it
into his pockeL
In his tour of the house he collect
ed two more rings, one valued at SSO
and another at. $25; a fine briar plpo
belonging to Mr. Russel, a $25 stop
watch and the fedora, which proved
his undoing. Then he helped himself
to a handful of choice havana cigars
from Mr. Russel’s private box, regaled
himself In royal fashion In the pantry
and leisurely sauntered out, Just as
the family watch dog became aware
of his presence and gave the alarm.
One or two members of the household
were awakened, but found nothing
wrong and went back to sleep.
In the meantime, Burglar Lavarnee
gently shut, the door In the dog’s face
and retired to a hammock under tho
trees, where he lighted one of Mr.
Russel’s cigars and enjoyed a quiet
siesta. As the dawn was breaking he
packed hi*- bolonglnge- into ~a TJTOT"
bundle and sauntered off down the
road, discarding his old slouch hat
for Mr. Russel's comparatively new
feil ora.
Gave Plunder Away.
lavarnee disposed of tho S2OO dla
mond ring In Barnet Wcrbe’s pawn
shop, Monday, getting $9 for It.
Werbe did not have the ring when the
pollen called at hti place Thursday,
but promised to get hold of It by Fri
day. The SSO ring he sold for $3 at
the same place, while he sold the sls
ring on the street for 25 cents. The
$25 watch he traded for a cheap sll
\erine affair worth about $3. The po
lice expect to recover all the prop
erty.
Astor obtaining hia confession the
police notified Mr. Russel, who an
nounced his willingness to prosecuto
A warrant will probably be asked for
Friday.

MALDWIN M. DRUMMOND.
LONDON, Bept. ..Irs. Marshall
Field. Jr. and Maldwin M. Drummond
were married this moraing at tho reg
istry office.
CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Mrs. Marshall
Field's wedding came as a distinct
surprise to Chicago, as she was con
sidered engaged to i>ord Robert Innes
Kerr.
Slnco she went to England, after
the tragic death of her husband, who
was killed by the accidental discharge
of a gun, to educate her children, Mrs.
Field lived in the strictest retirement,
refusing invitations right and left.
Os lute her rigorous attitude with
regard to society has been relaxed
somewhat and London believed it had
Lord Innes-Kerr to thank for It.
To Inherit Huge Estate.
By far the greater part of Marshall
Field's fortune —officially estimated at
$150,000,000. was bequeathed by the
merchant prince to his two grand
sons, Marshall Field 111., now 14 years
old, and Henry, 12. The little daugh
ter, Gwendolyn, will be a very wealthy
young woman also, hut her fortune
will be trifling as compared with those
of her brothers.
If the boys are both living when
Marshall attains the age of 50 years,
the grandfather's estate will be divid
ed between them, the elder receiving
three-fifths and the younger two
fifths. Until that time it will l>e held
in trust for them aud at the rate their
unostentatious mother lives, the mil
lions must be piling up at an incred
ible rate.
Before her marriage to the son of
Chicago’s wealthiest citizen, Mrs. .'ieltl
was Miss Albertine Hack. She be
longs to an excellent family noted for
reHrrr'Trrrnnmfl cultu re", rnther than
for its money, although the Bucks are
far from poor. Aside from the fact
that she is the mother of the world's
ilchcst boys, she received a large sum
of money at the death of her husband.

M. lieeks, a Wabash switchman, liv
ing at No. 74 Slxteenth-st., called ttt
police headquarters about 7 o’clock
with what appeared to be a promising
clue. While at work in the yards in
the vicinity of Twelfth-sL just befora
2:30 o’clock, two men, whom he sixed
up as tramps, though fairly well
dressed, approached him and asked
directions for reaching Adrian by
freight. One of the men was about
five feet seven inches in height and
was bareheaded, while the other wa#
three or four inches taller and wore
a soft black hat.
Locked in a Box Car.
A train was then being made up and
Reeks pointed out a row of empty box
cars that would take them to their
destination. they Jumped Into
one of the cars and Decks, as is the
custom, shut the door on them and
locked it.
Trainmen take no chances with
hoboes who are 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 swttcfithg to Ledone be
fore It finally started on its way.
Oii his return home, after his night’s
work. Reeks learned of the tragedy,
and became interested at once over
the report that one of the men lost
his hat 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 Stenton
was detailed to accompany him to the
Oakwood yards In the hope of appre
hending the pair before the freight
pulled out.
They found the car but it was de
serted. It is thought that the men
after being locked in, pounded on tho
door until someone of the car crew
let them out. As no one in the yards
hail reen any persons of their descrip
tion, tlie officer concluded that they
bad been let out by some member of
the night yard crew.
The two men answer in a general
way the description given by Charles
F. Hartman, grocer at No. 751 Wood
ward*ave., of two men seen running
from the scene of the tragedy.
Robbery plainly the Motive.
That Walser was shot as a result
of nn attempt to rob him. which he
frustrated, is the theory of tho police.
Walser locked up the store shortly
after 10 o'clock and went to the s&loon
<>f Benj F. (Hines, No. 729 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 ns Walser turned
to take the package from a shelf back
of the counter one of them struck him
'from behind, Intending to knock him
senseless and then rob him.
