First Unitarian church; Susan M.
Sellers, president of the county suf
frage organization, aud Charles Flow
ers, attorney and member of the state
legislature who introduced in the
house the resolution for a vote ou

postponed action until Monday.
Meanwhile Judge Durfee will call A»-
torney-General Wykea by telephone,
and ask him for a decision on the

will be asked to mail a copy of this
decision to the Wayne county board.
If it is received by Monday morning
at 10 o’clock, the board will meet at
that time and consider the matter of

The recount petition asks that the
votes be counted again In the first
district of the First ward, the first

The petition says;
“Yopr petitioners know or believe

governing such elections
"That the ballots delivered to the

GIVES DOLLAR TO AID
IN SUFFRAGE RECOUNT
Samuel B. Dixon, former com
mander of Fail bauks j»o»t, G.
A. H., came to The Times office,
Saturday morning, with a dollar
and said: "Here is one dollar
to start the ball rolling for a full
state recount of the vote on thq
woman suffrage question. 1
cannot believe there has been a
careful count, nor will 1 believe
the voters of Michigau voted
against their best interests —
their homes."
Iu matting this contribution,
Mr. Dixon expressed the opin
ion that if it proves true tha*
the liquor interest* of the state
defeated the amendment by il
legal menus, the result will be
statewide prohibition.
Arthur, "and we are not going to give
up without making every possible ef
fort to have the victory recognized."
"The people of the east were very
much surprised at the rt*iK)tt of Mich
igan's going for equal suffrage, and in
spite of later bulletins to the con
trary, tne convention in Philadelphia
celebrated the result here. Just as it
did that m the other states added to
the cause In the last election.
"This celebration was in the form
of a thanksgiving service held Sun
uay afternoon. The crowd in attend
ance was the largest ever seen in the
Metropolitan opera house ‘by the po
liceman who has done duty there for
years; larger even than when Koose
velt spoke. The house was as crowd
ed as (he police would permit, and as
many as 14 speakers were addressing
overflow meetings in the streets out
side at the same time."
Forty-four srgtes were represented
■at the convention * Men delegates
i from California and Kansas attended
(with their wives. The ablest speak
ers interested In the movement In
, this country, were on the program.
Jane Addaitis and Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Catt, who recently returned from
i her trip around the world, were among
' them.
One of the most exciting discussion*
iof the whole me* ting,actordingto Mrs.
Arthur, was over a resolution to the
i effect that officers of the ast-ociaiion
i be forbidden to take an active part in
jthe work of any political party. The
resolution was amended until it aj>-
plied to every member as well as of
ficer. After uearly a day's wrangle,
it was defeated largely through the
influence of a final 10-niinuie speech
by Miss Addams.
While in the east, Mrs. Arthur kept
in touch with the local situation by
means of two and three telegrams a
day. in addition to the regular newrs

TO NAME CHARTER BOARD

(('•■flatted from I‘wgr One*
#- ■
from each ward and three-at-large,
making a commission of 21 men. Each
commissioner will be paid s•'» for each
day the commission is in session, but
they will be paid for only VO days.
There was nothing before the com
mittee to act cn with reference to
piecemeal amendment, although it was
the concensus of opinion that piece
meal amendment? providing for muni
cipal ownership, increase in bonding
limit and civil service, be submitted
at the earliest possible opportunity,
Mr. Lawson Informed the committee
that he has already taken steps to
[draft the necessary amendment to the
[ home rule act to put into effect the
I c onstitutional amendment voted by
The people of the *tate. Thi* amend
ment will be submitted to the council
as soon as drafted and will be intro
duced in the legislature an soon as the
legislature convenes, Jan. 8. The leg
islature will be asked to give it imme
diate effect. Then amendments to
Ihe present city charter may be sub
mitted at anv of the regular election
| 'lays.
j It is not considered probable by the
1 city official* that the proposition will
be acted on in time to permit of the
‘rubmisston of an amendment on en
rollment day, Jan. 27, but they believe
that in amendment or amendments
can be submitted on March 6. primary
day. Thus the city can be empowered
to owu and operate its street car sys
tem. if the people so vote, by March 6.
The commissioners elected to revise
the city charter, can draw pay until
July l. There is no election in the
tall of 1913, and, consequently, a spe
cial election will have to be held to
reject or adopt tne revised charter.
McCarty, while not a member of the
council committee, attended the meet- 1
lng, and when Chairman Lodge asked
whether it was the duty of the council
to order an election he immediately *
launched into a vigorous defense of
his proposition
“Now. what !‘ would like to know
is whether it 1* compulsory on the J
part of the council to revise the char
ter.” said Mr. Lodge.
“Os course, it is," chimed in Aid.
Tossy. “Didn’t the people vote for it?!
I think it is our duty, only I believe j
we should elect the commissioners in
the regular spring election.”
Mr. I.a w son was then called on and
expressed his opinion that it is man
datory for the council to provide for a
revision of the charter in compliance
with the referendum vote on the sul*-
Ject. Discussion then centered upon
tile meaning of the phrase “within a
I reasonable time,” contained In the
home rule act. said that, the
supreme court had ordered the Adrian
'council to call an election for charter
; commissioners within 60 days after
'the people had voted to revise the citv
! charter.
! "My views of this subject are that
! ought to take advantage of the
j constitutional amendment and submit
amendments to our present charter
and at the same time proceed to re
jvise or.r charter." said Aid. Vernor.
\ "Yes." said Tossy. “If we depend
piecemeal amendments to get a
new charter it will take us 100
I years.”
“it wouldn’t take me that Ipng."
(tnlled Vernor. “Personally. 1 don't
any net essity for a general re-
I vision of the charter."
"But there Is nothing else to do In
| the face of the court decision in the
Adrian rase," suggested Tx>dge.

GRAFT CASES TO BE

common law. The legislature In defin
ing the powers of the several circuit
courts provided that "each of aaid
courts, upon good cause shown, mar
chnnge the venue in any case pending
therein, and direct the Issue to lx*
tried in the circuit court of another
country," etc. It is provided by the
same section of the statute that the
court to which such cause shall be re
moved shall proceed to hear, try and
determine the same.'
“It is stated hj Mr Bishop, in his
work on criminal proooduro, that til
change of venue Is usually ordered on
the application of the prisoner, first
giving notice to the prosecuting offi
cer, and then supporting the applica
tion by affidavits, hut it mav he equal

court on the application of the state,
on motion of the public proaecutor. If

trial could not be had in the county
where the Indictment waa found.”
The court then cites the affidavits
of the Jury commissioners that it
would be impossible to secure a fair
and Impartial Jury.
Wants Trial on Merita.
“There Is much force in these con
tentions." says the court. “When con
ditions arise from any cause making
it impossible for either party to se-
’cure an Impartial trial in the vicinage
where the offense took place, then, In
my opinion. It l>eoomes the duty of
tlie court in which such case is pend

the people should not l>e denied in a
criminal case, any more than should

Judge Phelan says that he "gave
[careful consideration" to the 73 affi
davits filed hy the defense, signed by
men who claimed that they were un
biased and could serve on a Jury to
try the casea.
"It Is a rule of the law.” he con
' eludes, "that every person accused of
committing a crime shall be presumed
Innocent until he is proven guilty.
This rule should be obeyed and fol
lowed by those whose duty it is to
execute and administer the laws, and
there should be no hesitancy In the
granting of a change of venue when
the court is satisfied that an Impartial
trial cannot be had for either party
upon the matters alleged in the In
formation.'’
Appeal To Be Taken.
John J. Scallen, associated with
James McNamara in the defense of
four of the alleged grafting aldermen
—Ollnnan, Tossy, Walsh and Oat row
aki—expressed great surprise when
told by The Times that Judge Phelan
had granted a change of venue in the
graft cases, and announced au Imme
diate appeal from the decision to the
supreme court.
Special Assistant Prosecutor
Charles T. Wilkins appeared lu Judge
Phelan’s court Just after the order,
changing the venue of the aldermanic
cases, was issued. He smiled con
tentedly, and confessed that he had
been a little In fear of the decision,
as he did not know Just what attitude
the Judge took In the cases
Informed that Attorneys McNamara
and Scallen hud declared that they
would appeal to the supreme- court in
the matter. Mr. Wtlkins said that two
courses are open to them
They can either apply for a man
damua. for the local court to show
cause why the trials should not be
held here, or can go ahead with the
trials in Macomb county, and then, in
the event of convictions, appeal on
the ground of lack of legality in the
trials
In the first Instance, which will
probably be the method chosen by the
attorneys, It would be hard to esti
mate the delay that would be caused,
Mr. Wilkms stated.
He referred to the mandamus pro

bid when local contractors showed
signs of ’‘holding up ’ the city.
The combined contract prices for
the sewer are now $636,605.77. The
board of estimates appropriated $667,*
119.99 for the work, or $30,514.22 more
than the actual cost. The cost of the
work was estimated a year ago and ou
a Job amounting to nearly three-quar
ters of a million dollars. is
a very close estimate. The cost of
brick and labor have advauced in the
meuntnne, and yet the actual cost was
held well within the appropriation.
The Morrell-st. sewer will be the
largest and most expensive of all sew

Commissioner Haarer recommended
tbe construction of the Morrell-st.,
sewer several years ago, when the
western section of the city began to
grow by leaps and bounds At first,
the aldermen and estimators were in
clined to scoff at the idea of Much a
large sewer for the west side. Last
year they unanimously agreed that it

city had grown to such proportions
It was a case of building the sewer
