THREE SINGERS IN
EORT-ST, CHOIR LET
OUT SUDDENLY
And a Very Lively Row Led By
Friends of Contralto is Said
to Be Brewing
RECENT DIVORCE SUIT
FIGURES IN ACTION
Presbyterians Shocked By the
Testimony, it is Said—Oldest
Choir in Town
Mrs. Meta Goebel Owen, soprano,
f Mrs. C. H (.Moment*, contralto.
Charles M. Clohecy, buntone.
The above members of the quartet
of soloists in the Fort st. Presbyterian
church have been given notice that
their services will be no longer re
quired. Mrs. Ralph Trix bus been
engaged, as the new contralto, 'l'he
only member of the quartet to be re
tained Is William Lavln, tenor. I)r
Newton J. Corey, organist and choir
director, is also retained.
« Dr. Corey Is now in Colorado giving
a series of and the ac
tion of the music committee may or
may not be known to him.
All of the members of the music
committee of which George H. Par
hour Is chairman are out o 4 the city,
at present. •
The singers mentioned were given
notices of dismissal this to take
‘ effect Aug. 1. when the usual summer
vacation of one month begins. Sun
day evening the quartet warbled to
gether entirely unconscious of the dis
solution of singing partnership.
The personnel of the Fort-st. choir
has been unchanged for several years,
.Mrs. Clement, being its oldest mem
ber, her association extending over a
period of 18 or 20 years; Mrs. Owen
about 10 years; Mr. l.avin seven years
and Mr Clohecy six years. Mrs. Owen
and Mr. Clohecy are vocal pupils of
Mrs. N. J. Corey.
It is said that there will be a lively
Congregational “row" over the dismis
sal of Mrs. Clements, who is a great
favorite with the church members and
whose services have been cheerfully
given to any and all church organiza
tions asking for them.
, Dame Gossip also relates that in
addition to dissatisfaction with Mrs.
Owen’s work, the more strait-laced
church members disliked the notoriety
. the church received when Mrs. Owen’s
divorce suit was tried in the courts
recently, the charges and counter
charges between the warring couple,
making “scandalous” reading, accord
ing to the good Presbyterians. The
older folk in the church are said to
bitterly resent the “sacrificing" of
Mrs. Clements because of the desire
to oust Mrs. Owen
% These folk say that while Dr. Corey
Is well-liked his desire to bring for
ward pupils of Mrs. Corey when extra
singers were engaged or vacation sub
stitutes needed, has been frequently
severely criticized. !n the dismissal
of Mrs. Corey’s pupils. Mrs. Owen and
Mr. Clohecy. it would seem as though
this faction had had something to say
.in the new order of things, even if
overridden in regard to Mrs. Clements.
The notice of dismissal to the singers
1b said to have come like a thunder
bolt to them.
The position of the contralto alone
has been tilled.

merits of the merger.
Aid. George H. Ellis, of the Fif

tjiat he will submit a resolution to the
council, Tuesday night, to have the
council protest to the state railroad
commission against the proposed
Merger, and asking Mr. to so
represent the city in the hearing in
Lansing.
“I read the details of the sale care
fully and the phone companies' state

the Home Telephone Cos. was permit

up our streets and do all kinds of con
struction work with the understand
ing that we were to have competition,
insuring low’ rates,” said Mr. Ellis.
“If it is a good thing for the city to
have but one phone system, as they
’tell us. why didn't they keep out? I
am as much opposed as ever to this
deal.”

WOOD FOR GOVERNOR
IS 10SS” PROGRAM TO
HEAO Off WILSON MAN
State Committeemen and De
troit Machine Lining Up to
Put This One Over
NOT KEEN FOR HEMANS
This Latest Story Lays Senti
ment for Two-Time Candidate
Open to Suspicion
The latest harniony symptom In the
ranks of the Democratic organization
in Michigan, is ip enlist the elements
that were anti-Wilson before the Hai
tlmore convention, in behalf ol
tlonal Committeeman Edwin O. Wood
tor the governorship. The sentiment
for llemans that hus been said to pro
ceed from these sources, is open to
suspicion.
li is reported Chairman Shields
and Secretary Canfield are rounding
up the state committee anil the De
troit machine to bring about action
favorable to Wood’s candidacy at the
meeting of the committee in this
city next Monday. It bs expected that
the endorsement of tWt meeting —or
u secret combination for him —would
give his boom the inside track. The
word has been received hero lhat
Wood is willing, notwithstanding his
declinations.
The supporters of Ferris and Yaple,
strong Wilson inen from first to
will prhbubly have something to
on this program of the men whose
recently-acquired enthusiasm for Wil
son is promptly linked with an over
whelming eagerness to reap all the
advantage possible for their faction
through the popularity of the nom
inee they did their level, best to de
feat and discredit.

ceived sufficient notice. The defense
insisted upon an Immediate trial and
claimed that the prosecutor had
known ever since thp case was tried
in i«>lice court that they would de
mand a trial during the June term.
The ease has been called several
times, tut has been repeatedly post
poned. It was called for Tuesday
of this week, then postponed to

failed. I’m going back to Wichita,
though, ns soon as I can get the
property back which the prosecutor
has been holding as evidence since
the raid for I do not like to stay
where I’m not wanted.”
The prosecutor was given until
Saturday morning to show why Prof.
Samuels should not get buck his card

been held since the raid as evidence.
