JOURNEY ACROSS
810 THIRST BELT
•
Roosevelt Party Will March For
Two Days and Half Through
Scorching Sun in Africa.
By WARRINGTON DAWBON.
(Staff Correspondent of the United
Preea and Detroit Times.)
KIJAHE. Juno s.—With 125 Ballons
of water as part of the cargo to last
the members during their two days’
march across the great “thirst belt”
of the western part of the protector
ate, the Roosevelt caravan set out at
1 o’clock this afternoon for Its seven
weeks’ stay in the Lumbwa district.
The great caravan received a royal
send-ofr, the natives singing and cheer
ing as East Africans rarely do.
The trip to Sotik will in all proba
bility be as interesting, though ardu
ous, as auy taken by Col. Roosevelt
during his stay in Africa. Within a
few hours he will be within the arid
region and for two days and a half the
march will be through scorching sun,
with the wonderful Africa light that
would blind them were they not to
guard Against it.
The heat of the day will be so in
tense that much of the journey will
be made in night travel. For this rea
son the party will not pitch tents at
night, but the members will lie on the
ground in their overcoats and sleep for
an hour or two at a time.
There will not be a drop of fresh
water until after the hills to the west
are crossed and the belt beyond pass
ed. Six big casks of water are being
hauled in the carts.
The Kljabe camp was astir at an
early hour this morning and the work
of loading the camp effects on the
backs of the porters required several
hours. As fast as the men were load
ed they set out for the west.
Mr. Roosevelt, accompanied by hla
son, F. C. Selous, R. J. Cunningham.
L- A. Tarlton. Dr. Mearns and the nat
uarllats brought up the rear guard.
No hunting was attempted today as
there would not have been time to
preserve the skins of any animals
that might have been killed.
DELEGATE MAKES PLEA
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Rev. Merca Marie aVmey Says Wom
en's Ballot Would Destroy the
Great White Slave Traffic.
BATTLE CREEK, Mich., June 5
A plea for woman suffrage by Rev.
Merca Marie Varney, national superin
tendent of the W. C. T. U. and lady
pastor of Paw Paw. Mich., created
mualh~iatereat at yesterday’s session
of tho annual state convention. She
declared that if the members of the
W. C. T. U. without tho ballot could
bring about the great temperance
wave which has Just swept over the
country, with the ballot they would
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
liquor and destroy the great white
slave traffic.
Another interesting feature was a
debate between Mrs. M. E. Bodwell,
of Grand Rapids, and Mrs. Bertha
Bush, of Defjwn, Barry county, on the
question as to whether prohibition or
local option was the correct way of
dealing with the liquor traffic. No de
cision was given, but at the conclu
sion the delegates from Wayne stood
up en masse and shouted their county
cry to the effect that the saloous in
that county must go in 1911.
Mrs. K. D. Davis, of Niles and Mrs.
Anna Hopkins, of loosing told how
they engineered the recent anti-cigar
ette bill through the state legislature
and related their personal experiences
in lobbying.
The W. C. T. U. convention adopted
resolutions yesterday denouncing the
University of Michigan "for failing to
protect its students against the liquor
evil.’’ A recommendation Is made that
a concerted attack on the saloons In
Ann Arbor he made by the organiza
tion. ;~
LOOK MAKES ANSWER.
Through Attorney File* Detente to
Disbarment Proceedings.
Fred A. Baker, retained to defend
former Judge William Look, in the
disbarment proceedings brought by
the Detroit Bar association, has filed
an anawer and demurrer to the
charges.
Look Is charged with converting to
his own use the proceeds of a mort
gage for $550, turned over to him in
trust by Rudolph Knorr, an inmate of
the home of the Little Sisters of the
Poor. Ixwk claims that the mort
gage was turned over to him personal
ly. and not in trust, for the reason
that Knorr’s divorced wife was trying
to get hold of his property. He says
It was done with the full knowledge
of Knorr and the sisters. Look says
the sisters did not understand the
situation because the mother superior,
who was in the home when the tran
saction look place is not there now
He says he has stood ready at all
times to pay over the amount, and it
is now on deposit in the American
Exchange National bank. Look ad
mits that when the mortgage was as
signed to the Detroit Savings bank
part of the proceeds was used to pay
a debt against him. but that was done
at the bank’s request to make the
transfer absolute, ami that it in no
way endangered tho fund. He says
he has always regarded the fund as
a trust and ao regards it now.
Attorney Baker also demurs on sev
eral technical grounds to the proced
ure taken.

FORTUNE TOO LATE
FOR SHOELACE MAN
Second Cousin of Hall Caine Dies
Unaware of Being Heir
To 135,000.
DENVER, June 4.—Unaware that
he was heir to one-half of the estate
of his brother, valued at between $60,-
000 and $75,000, and which consisted
of cash. Government bonds and min
ing property. Philip Caine, "the shoe
lace man,” died last November in his
hovel on the banks of Cherry Creek,
where he had lived for years eking
out a bare existence for himself and
his dog.
If the eccentric old man who lived
the life of a recluse knew anything
about his fortune he never divulged it.
Neither did he tell a soul In Denver
that he was a second cousin of Hall
Caine, the famous novelist.
Philip Caine had two brothers —
John, who lived for many years in
Balt Lake City, and William, who died
several years ago on the Isle of Man,
lenvlng four children.
John Caine died in Los Angeles two
years ago. Several years before his
death John Caine had words with his
brother Philip, who left Salt Lake and
wm never again heard of by the
wealthy brother. John Caine’s estate
is valued at between $60,000 and $75,-
000. The estate of William Caine,
who died on the Isle of Man, Is valued
at about SIO,OOO.
At the death of John Caine the Den
ver lace vendor became the heir to
half the estate left by John Caine, as
well as half of that left by William
Caine. Search was made by the ad
ministrator of the John Caine estate.
Just before Philip Caine’s death a
photograph of him and his dog was
published in the Denver Post. This
came to the notice of the friends of
John Caine and Philip was at once
communicated with. Philip was at
once communicated with. Before he
could prove his heirship he died leav
ing little or nothing.
Clarence J. Morley, public adminis
trator 1 , was placed in charge of the
estate by the county court. He and
J. C. Caine, of Salida, Col., a relative
of the shoe lace vendor, went to Ix>s
Angeles and Salt Lake, proved the
heirship of Philip Caine through the
photograph and made claim for one
half of the estate of John Caine. This
will probably be turned over to Mr.
Morley shortly.
After the debts of the estate are
paid the remainder will be turned over
to the four children of William Caine,
now living on the Isle of Man.
The Identification of Philip Caine
**» brother William and John and
a* a second cousin of Hall Caine has
been completed through the photo
graph by relatives of the Caine fam
ily in Utah, Missouri, Colorado, Cali
fornia and the Isle of Man.

MILWAUKEE LAND VALUES
SURPRISED DETROITERS
Real Estate Dealers, on Board of
Commerce Outing, Found Prices
Double Those Prevailing Here.
Some of the local real estate men
who went on the Board of Commerce
outing to Milwaukee haven't recovered
yet from the shock they received when
they discovered what high prices all
classes of real estate are bringing In
that city, as compared with Detroit
prices. And none of them has been
able to figure out why this should be
true.
"Milwaukee prices are Just about
double those now prevailing in De
troit," said Frank H. Bessenger, of
Bessenger & Moore. "Why, lots on
their boulevard, which is about the
same distance from the heart of the
city as ours and not nearly so improv
ed, are selling for S2OO per foot, while
ours bring from SSO to S6O per foot.
Lots corresponding to our swell Jef
ferson-ave. lots with river frontage,
which are held ordinarily at from SSOO
to S6OO per foot, are sold in Milwaukee
at from $1,200 to $1,400 per foot. Sub
division property Is listed in the same
proportion.
"For Its size, Detroit has about the
lowest real estate values at the pres
ent time of auy city In the country,
and they are far too low when one
compares the quality of the property
with the property that Is being sold
In other cities for double the price.''
A. A. Moore, who also made the
trips, echoes his partner’s sentiment*.
ANOTHER FINE RESIDENCE

A sale Just closed by Homer War

Estimators Call Special Meeting To
Talk Over Mayor's Proposal That
Board Be Wiped Out.
•
An unofficial meeting of the board of
estimates has been called for next
Friday evening in the council cham
ber. The occasion is the address of
Mayor Breitmeyer, in which he advo
cated abolishing the present board and
substituting a small board appointed
by the mayor.
This pronouncement of the mayor
was a subject for comment by the esti
mators. Friday afternoon, when they
made their annual trip to inspect tho
county house and Insane asylum in
Eioise. Most of the members of the
board opposed the suggestion, arguing
for ward representation and a large
board. This sentiment was voiced in
several after-dinner speeches.
“A small, appointive board could be
handled too easily.” said Estimator
Wobrock.
“Under the mayor's plan we would
have six Tom Craigs on the board,”
asserted Estimator Barnett, “six men
representing the wealthy districts of
the city whose only aim would be to
cut taxes down. We would get few
improvements under the plan.
"It seems that we are critlctxed
whatever the board does. They say
that the tax rate is too high and at
the same time, there is complaint that
the streets are in bad condition and
that we did not allow enough money.
Barnett also roasted Estimator
Craig for the latter’s recent interview
anenl salaries and the high tax rate
which -was taken as a criticism of the
board.
“Craig should be the last man to
go back on the action of the board,
declared Barnett. “He elected John
F. Behlow president and dictated the
committee appointments. He ought to
stand by the man who gave him the
best chairmanship on the board.”
Barnett then accused Craig of
“ducking” on the matter of authoriz
ing the issue of bonds to pay for vot
ing machines.
Estimator Palmer said he was in
favor of some changes in the budget
ary system, but believed that a com
mittee fro rathe board of estimates
should be appointed to act in regard
to any charter amendment.
“This board now has power with
out responsibility,” he said.
Estimators Robinson, Emil Snyder,
Brown and Ferguson made short
speeches. City Clerk Nichols said that
although he had nearly lost bis voice.
It had not been cut out by the esti
mators. Aid. Oilnnan pleaded guilty
to being closer to the board of esti
mators than any other alderman and
commended the record of the board.
Supt. Walker, of the county house,
and Supt. Marker, of the asylum, dis
cussed their work. Secretary Prenz
lauer, of the poor commission, presid
ed over the trip and at the dinner,
introducing Estimator Joseph Arm
strong as toastmaster.
Mrs. Prenzlauer made the oratorical
hit of the evening in a very witty ad
dress. Charles D. Cameron spoke in
behalf of the press.
During the trip a boom was started
for Estimator Armstrong for the pres
idency of the board in 1910, and it
was said that enough pledges were se
cured to insure his election. Owing
to the absence of President Behlow,
the customary presentation of a gavol
to him will be delayed until Friday
evening.
The estimators found the county
house and asylum in perfect condition
and their approval was expressed in
all the addresses made.
CIRCUS FULL OF COMEDY.
Barnum A Bailey Show Ha* Company
of World’* Best Clown*.
Sixty of the world’s funniest clowns
help Immeasurably to add to the great
attractiveness of this season of the
Darnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth. There Is hardly a moment dur
ing the three hours that the circus Is
at its height that the crowds are not
laughing at some of the funny stunts
performed by the droll fellows.
With the clowns this season are a
number of celebrated fellows wno have
won fame in France and Germany.
The versatility of these men Is very
pronounced. All of the work of the
clowns la carefully thought out and
planned und many are the skits and
burlesques that are Introduced to set
the crowds In a roar. There are tall
clowns and short ones, set fellows
who exude humor, and lean chaps
with the hungry look that compels
laughter. And how they seem to mis
treat one another occasionally. There
are the bad fellows who will fight and
are arrested and carried off by the
police.
Many of the clowns bring properties
to their aid and some of them use
highly trained animals. One of the
latest skits Is a burlesque airship that
spells ruin to th.* Merry Andrews who
try to operate it. There Is a comical
Arctic expedition, and there is a band
of mighty hunters who are afraid of
the animals being hunted.
