BRIBE CASES FINISHED; /
JUDGMENT RESERVED
The taking of testimony in the
ermes against Robert Brown and
Charles E. Baumheckel, charged with
giving brides to Fred Frltzen and
Churles Holcomb, heads o: depart
ments of the Studebaker corporation,
in Connection with sales made by the
defendants, was Mulshed before Jus
tice Stein, Friday afternoon, aud
Judgment reserved until next Tues
day.
Holcomb testified that h 6 received
between S4OO and SSOO from Haum
heckel. who represented the Forbes
Varnish Cos., of Cleveland, and S6OO
or S7OO from Brown, who was the
representative of the Acme White
Head & Color works, Detroit. Hol
comb said that he did not take the
money on the understanding that it
was in consideration of business that
he might give the donors.
Assistant Prosecutor Voorheis pro
duced a stenographic statement, pur
porting to be a report of what Hol
comb told Prosecutor Shepherd, some
days ago. The statement credited
Holcomb with saying that the money
he received from Brown and Baum
herkel was in the nature of a bonus
for patronage. On the stand, he suid
that the statement was u mistake.
Attorney Allan H. Frazer, for the
defense, suggested that the money
was merely a mark of good fellow
ship and holcorab said that it was.
A. E. Smith, an employe of the
Studebaker corporations, and Attor
ney Frazer clashed during the exam
ination of the former. Smith had
previously testified that Brown had
given him a punch bowl at Christmas
time. In answer to Frazer’s ques
tions. Smith admitted that he had
been a member of the Durable Top
Specialty Cos.; that the products of
the company hart been used In TTuT
Studebaker plants on his recom
mendation. aud that, when the com
pany dissolved, he got $26,250 as his
interest in the concern.
Smith got much agitated by Fraz-i
er's questions, and he fairly blazed
with indignation when the attorney,
a little later, asked him about a
piano he got through the Mutty Cos.,
of Boston. Mr. Frazer intimated that
Smith had saved S2OO or S.IOO by get
! ting the piano through the Mutty
I Cos., Smith admitted that the Mutty
j Cos. got it more cheaply than he could,
J but said he didn’t know how much
he saved on the deal.

SHOOTS SELF WHEN
WIFE SPURNS HIM
Braving a efreuit court injunction
ordering him not to visit or molest
his wife in any way. William Collins,
43 years old, made one last effort to
effect a reconciliation with her, Fri
day afternoon, and failing, fired a bul
let Into his brain.
When ho recovered consciousness
in a cot in St. Mary’s hospital, short
ly afterward, his wife was bending
over him, promising to take him back
when he recovers. Hla condition is
critical.
Collins and his wife conducted a
grocery store at No. 128 St. Aubin
a\e., until last Sunday, when she took
her three-year-old son, Davis, and
went to the home of her sister, at No.
130 Harper-ave., declaring that Col
lins, iu one of his periodic fits of
temper, had beaten and abused her.
Wednesday, Collins was notified by
an attorney that his wife had decided
never to return to him. and Collins
signed a bill of separation, deeding
the store over to his wife, and ob
taining her consent to see hig little
son once a week. He W’ent to his
room at No. 124 St. Aubin-ave., but
made up his mind to leave the city.
After purchasing a ticket to Cleve
land, and sending his trunk to the
depot, he returned to his wife’s store,
but she refused to see him, fearing
him.
Returning to his room, he begged
the landlord, Edward Miller, to try
and intercede with Mrs. Collins.
While Miller was trying to effect a
reconciliation, Collins shot himself.
GEN. AUBERT ESCAPES
FROM FEDERAL TRAP
MEXICO CITY. March 30.—Gen.
Aubert, commanding 800 federals, en
gaged in the fighting about Jiininez,
has escaped from the trap set for him
by the rebels and his forces are re
treating toward Torreon today. This
official announcement was made by
the government this morning. Re
ports to the rebel leaders here, how
ever. say that Aubert’s losses were
heavy and that he was compelled to
leave all his stores, 500 horses, and
20,000 rounds of ammunition behind
in escaping from the rebels.
The federal forces will now be con
centrated at Torreon and a last stand
made against Ozozco entering the city
unless Aubert is overtaken and cap
tured before he can reach there.
The government censorship on
press dispatches continues and the
local press is also being watched
carefully. But slight mention of the
scores of crimes committed by the
lawless element, now almost In com
plete control of the city, Is permitted.
Y’esterday's edition of the Heraldo
was suppressed by the police. The
Heraldo is said to have attempted to
show the condition of anarchy exist
ing and detailed some of the stories
of bribery among the government of
ficials which have been circulated.
GROCER MAKES PLEA
FOR PRESERVING STREETS
"I would like to nee some Inter
est taken tn preserving the streets
of Detroit,” suid O. H. Massnick, a
Mack-ave. grocer. "The regulation,
which was suggested last fall by the
paving committee of the Board of
Commerce is certanly a good thing,
and I think Is just what the city
needs. The habit of public service cor
porations of tearing up pavements
whenever they take a notion should
be stopped.
•‘Mack-ave. was resurfaced with
brick late last fall, and just within the
past two weeks, I noticed this new*
pavement being torn up by a public
service company to lay some pipes.
"My delivery system has been bad
ly Impaired for many years on ac
count of this outrageous condition.
Many times It Is acutally Imimssible
for ray wagons to get anywhere near
the customer’s house.”

The shortage in automobile cars,
which has been very acute and has
hit Detroit especially hard, baa been
taken up by the National Assocfatlon
of Automobile Manufacturers, and
every effort will be made to keep au
tomobile cars In automobile service.
Frequently automobile cars are divert
ed to other uses for which ordinary
box cars would answer.

PLEADS THAT FAMILY
BE KEPT TOGETHER
“Say, judge, you’ll let us all stay
together, wont you?” pleaded 11-year
old “Joe’’ In juvenile court Friday
afternoon, when the condition of the
family was being investigated.
The mother of the family is dead
and the father is a victim of Bright’s
disease and able to earn very little.
“Joe” has acted as cook and house
keeper, and these duties he Is said to
have performed well. He kept the
family of five children clean, «and
washed and dressed the babies, the
only complaint against, him being
that he was not In school regularly.
His reports show, however, that he
was always up in his studies, as were
the other children who are , old
enough to go to school.
“It is one of the finest examples 1
have met of youngsters developing
the best that is in them under trying
circumstances,” said Judge Hulbert,
“and I will keep them together if
there is any way.” In the meantime,
the children will be cared for in the
detention home.
COMMITTEE QUIZZES
MUNSEY ON STEEL STORY
March 3b.—Seek
ing information as to the source of
his authority for figures embodied in
one of his magazine articles on the
steel corporation, the "Stanley com
mittee” today quizzed Frank A. Mun
sey, the newspaper proprietor, for
two hours, with but little result. The
sum total of the information secured
was that Director George F. Baker,
of the steel cori>oration, told Munsey
the Northern ore bodies were worth
$600,000,000 as stated in Munsey’s
Magazine article.
“I got few facts from the steel cor
poration,” said Munsey.
Only by Insistent Inquiry from
i Chairman Stanley and Kep. Bartlett,
did Munsey disclose the source of his
information. That the Tennessee Coal
and ron company's property was
worth $105,00,000 was a bit of in
formation. Munsey declared, he got
entirely from outside sources, “be
tween friends,” Munsey admitted ho
talked with Judge Gary, chairman or
the steel trust before publishing his
article. He did not disclose whether
Gary helped him in collecting data.
