when, but I think everything will be
straightened out within a very short
time. 1 caunot give a definite estimate
at this time us to the firm's liabilities,
but there Is no cause for alarm on
the part of creditors. I think we will
be able to pay 100 cents on the dol
lar."
Mr. Osborne says the firm has a
considerable sum of money tied up
with Knnis & Stoppanl. the big New
York brokerage house which suspend
ed operations two or throe montns
ago, and which is thought to have
led to Monday's sr.cide. Just how the
Detroit firm will fare in the settle
ment of the New York firm's affairs
ir problematical. Mr. Osborne says
he has heard nothing from the re
ceiver in New York. A letter wus le
'clved from the attorneys of Ennis it
Stoppani last week, however, in which
it was stated that the firm was hopeful

FERRY FIERI IN
GOUNCILIONIEHT
Mayor Advises Settlement on Com
pany's Terms—Committee Would
Advertise for Other Service.
A bitter fight over the Belle Isle
ferry question ie expected In the com
mon council, Tuesday evening. Owing
to *be fact that no result was reached
at the Monday conference between tho
common council ordinance committee
and the ferry company officials, the
situation Is put squarely up to the
council as to whether the city shall go
without ferry service to Belle Isle ail
season.
Mayor Breltmeyer will send in a
message advocating a settlement on
the teims offered by the Detroit, Belle
Isle 4c Windsor Ferry Cos. for the sea
son. In opposition, the council com
mittee will bring in a report advising
that the controller be directed to ad
vertise for proposals for ferry service.
This would involve giving to anew
company, if one appears, the right to
exclusive use of the docks at the foot
of several streets, and Corporation
Counsel Hally is of the opinion that
such an exclusive permit could not be
given.
Aid. Ellis, who believes the ferry
comany's terms to be ‘‘air, was op
posed to the stand taken by Aid. Wat
son, Grindley, Field, Walsh and Gar
vey. Ho may bring In a minority re
port backing up the mayor's stand.
In this case, he will be supported by
Aid. Owen, Vernor, Reinhardt and
others.
Negotiations were declared off after
the Monday conference, which means,
unless the committee or the company
should back down, that no ferry boats
will run to Belle Isle for a year. Aid.
Ellis has already called attention to
the fact that no other passenger boats
adapted to the needs of this service
are to be found on the lakes, even if a
new company were organized and
tried to buy vessels.
Not until the fight In the council is
over will the ferry company announce
what it will do with its boats this
season. While Peche island is not
ready for use as a park yet. It may be
utilized for a terminus for pleasure
riding trips, and the company might
also use one of Its Belle Isle boats on
the Bois Blanc run.
Walter E. Campbell, Robert T. Gray
and John Avery were the representa
tives of the fery company In the con
ference Monday, and their steadfast
determination to settle on no terms
except those at first laid down, with
a slight concession in regard to even
ing passengers from Bcdle Isle, made
the majority of the aldermanic com
mittee very angry. A suggestion that
the ferry company run for a time on
its own terms without a license from
the city was not given particular at
tention because the ferry officials did
not consider that the council had the
right to make such an offer, and also
because the company desires to set
tle the matter once and for all.
How sore the aldermen are is shown
by th*» fact that they now desire to
offer a 10-year franchise, with the use
of city docks In place of the yearly
license given the D. # B. I. & W. Cos.,
which uses Its own docks.

MILWAUKEE HAS WHAT DETROIT IS ONLY THINKING ABOUT
'SIMONS ROASTS
TARDY COMMITTEE
Says D. U. R s Franchises Will Ex
pire Before Mayor’s "Fifty”
Finishes Work.
An attempt to hurry the mayor's
committee of 50 was made by David
W. Simons in the meeting, Monday
night. After Attorney Clyde J. Web
ster had presented the report of the
franchise committee, giving a history
of all street railways in Detroit, Sl
atons urose and called attention to the
fact that the committee of 50 had
been In existence since Jauuary and
that its work is nowhere nearly done
yet.
"At this rate, all the franchises may
expire before this committee gets
around to do business,'* he said. His
motion that all the sub-committees be
Instructed to bring in reports to
the general body by Jvjly 1 was laid
on the table on motion of the Rev.
L*»e S. McCollester, E. C. Van Husan
and others explaining that the ap-*
prnisal of the D. U. R.’s property can
not be completed in three weeks.
When the subject of funds was
brought up, Mayor Breitmeyer assur
ed the committee that the council will
furnloh money as it is needed.
Resolutions eulogizing the late Will
iam C. Maybury, a member of the
committee, were adopted. His place
on the committee has been taken by
George W. Fowle.
Reports from the paving and statis
tics committee will be received In two
weeks, when another meeting is to be
held.
TO BUILD MORE DOCKS.
England Contest* With Germany Su*
remacy in Drsadnaught Con
struction.
LONDON, June B.—The Admiralty
gave further evidence today of its de
termination to contest with Germany
the supramacy in Dreaduaught con
struction by drafting specifications for
three additional repairing docks on
the east and south eoaata. •
These docks, for which bids will be
asked within the next month, will be
built especially for the repair of
Dreadnaughts and will quadruple the
present capacity for work of this kind.
The repair facilities of the Admir
alty have been Its weakest point for
years and the opponents of tho
"Dreadnought craze'* have urged the
impossibility of caring for ships o f
this class as an argument against their
further construction.

Market for Fat Cows Slumps; Fear ling
Lambs at Top Trice and Hogs Still Boom
By H. H. MACK.
The trade In dry-fed cattle has been
fairly active, of late, and while feed
ers have not been able to Agure out
much of a proAt on tho investment,
they are coming out much better than
was expected earlier In the season.
The supply of corufed stock is be
lieved to be Just about exhausted, and
as grass-fed cattle are not yet avail
able it looks very much as If there
would be a "high spot” yet before the
middle of July.
The market for fat cows is not near
ly as good as at this time last month,
mainly, because of the bad killing per
centages which they have made.
Butchers are complaining bitterly over
bad dressing results owing to the "AH"
which commission salesmen are able
to make after the cattle reach them
and Just prior to Soing on the scales.
It Is a fact, however, that corn-fed
steers dress much better than cows,
and even at a dollar per cwt. more the
steer meat is much the cheaper when
hanging on the hooks
One of the surprising features of
the spring receipts of live stock Is the
marked falling off in the number of
calves received In all of the big mar
kets. There are two reasons, however,
for the light calf runs In the Arst
place, the total number of dairy cows
kept the country over is decreasing

DOZEN WOMEN, ONE
MAN GET DECREES
I '
I
; Divorcees Include Wives of Albert H.
j Zenner and Otis W. Knox, Detroit
Business Men.
Two wives of well-known business
men, along with ten other women of
less prominence In the social world
and a lone man ere grunted divorces
by Judge Hosnier, Monday afternoon.
The first to get a decree was Laura
L. Zonner, wife of Albert H. Zenner.
president of the Zenner Disinfectant
Cos., No. 80 boulevard. Mrs.
Zenner testified that four months af
ter their marriage her husband beat
her with his fists in their home at
No. 757 Brush-st. At another time
Hhe said he threw her into a chair and
held her hi' the arms so tlgntly that
they were black and blue. Later he
struck her In the face with his fist In
the presence of neighbors, and threat
ened to have her confined in a padded
cell.
Mrs. Zenner testified that her hus
band is in receipt of a salary of $2,600
per year, and In additions hold more
than half the stock in the Zeuner pis
in feet ant Cos. The question of ali
mony was settled out of court, Mra
Zenner being given $4,000.
The other prominent woman to b
taln her freedom was Mtb. Elizabeth
Knox, wife of Otis W. Knox, proprie
tor of the Knox stores In most of the
large cities, Including Detroit. They
were married In 1860, Mrs. Knox said,
and lived together 30 years, her hus
band deserting her in Toledo In 1808.
At that time he started for Cincinnati
to open anew store, anil she has never
seen him since. Mrs. Knox now sup
ports hemlef teaching music.
Ethel Lee testified that her hus
band. William Earl Lee had a violent
temper and was disagreeable. Just
as an evidence of William's disagree
ableness, she said he was very angry
w’heu sho joined a woman's lodge, ne
cause she wanted him to remain at
home and care for the baby. Another
quarrel Hhe described was when Will
iam Insisted on using a ceitain suit
case which Mrs. Lee said she had for
bidden him to touch. This testimony
was given In a manner to indicate that
Mrs. Lee also had a mind of her own.
She was granted decree after telling
that her husband threatened her with
a revolver.
That her husband was not congenial
was the reason given by Nine L. Flow
er for her* refusal to live with John
W. Flower, according to the latter. He
was given a decree.
He told me that his love had grown
cold and he wanted me to get out,”
testified Margaret Moore, of her hus
band, John E., a plumber. “I learned
later that there was another woman

made anew record in Chicago Inst
week and the end is evidently not
quite yet. Receipts of yearlings have
been lighter this spring than for many
years. This scarcity of stock, coupled
with the active demand and the high
prices paid for pelts, has been the
influence which has contributed
to the trade in all kinds of mature
sheep. Spring lambs have not shared
the prosperity enjoyed by other kinds
of stock but the current market Is the
best of the season, so far, and still bet
ter things are looked for. Southern
growers hognn sending their lambs to
market much too early. They spring
lamb trade belongs to June, and there
is very little use of trying to push it
before that date. Consumers of lamb
chops do not care to have them cut
from "springers" and the butcher has
taken the hint and will not buy them
much above yearling prices. The wool
trade Is still active, but the market
looks % trifle top-heavy and a dull
trade is looked for during the sum
mer and early fall months.

DEATH VICTOR IN RACE
ACROSS BROAD ATLANTIC
Mrs. Paulina Powell Black s nformed
on Steamship That Her Husband
Died In New York.
NEW YORK, June B.—Mrs. aullne
Powell Black, widow of Elmer Ells
worth Black, the banker of the house
of N. W. Harris & Cos., of No. 56 Will
inm-Ht., arrived from Havre, having
lost a race with death under peculiar
ly distressing circumstances.
Mr. Black died in Roosevelt hospi
tal, and when his serious illness was
announced at a banquet of the mem
bers and employees of his firm In the
Plaza the previous evening the festiv
ities were displeased with and a pray
er was offered for the dying man. The
dinner was in honor of Allan B.
Forbes, managing partner of the New
York office, and Mr. Black was to have
been the toastmaster.
Mrs. Black was in Paris, her hus
band having preceded her to this
country and contracted the fatal ill
ness on the voyage. When she receiv
ed the fable telling of his serious con
dition on May L'O, she had just 45 min
utes to catch the steamship train from
Paris for Havre, and when she and
her daughter boarded Provence
they were without tickets or state
room reservations, but the purser was
nble to provide for them.
Torn by anxiety and hoping against
hope, Mrs. Black sailed and was kept
in suspense until a wireless message
was received announcing the death of
her husband. She was completely
prostrated.
