the construction of the Junctlon-ave.

to the proposed line is that Larch

If Mr. Peek promises to discontinue
legal proceedings, the organizations
will try to have the route changed.
The wc*t side merchants and resi

built as aon as possible. They have |
been seeking a cross-town line for two
years.
Mr. Peck, following the passage of
a resolution by the council allowing j

Judge Mandeb's court fer a temporary |
injunction. The Injunction was de

cause why the injunction should not

“1 am going over the evidence re

to see if It Is sufficient to cause ac
tion to bo taken to have him removed
from office,” ■said Pliny Mursh, attor
ney for the Citizens’ league, Friday
morning, regarding a case in Justice

testimony was introduced to s how that
Mr. Small, school inspector, from the
Tnird ward, is connected with the
Alpha Chemical Cos., which was aw&ra
ed a soap contract by the Board of
Education, last May. It is against the
law for a school inspector to have an
Interest In any school board contract.
“I have a typewritten copy of the
evidence.” said Mr. Marsh. "If I find
that it Is not strong enough to cause
a complaint to be brought against In
spector Small, I shall see if I can ob
tain affidavit's to show Mr. Small’s
connection with the Alpha Chemical
Cos. Perhaps Mr. Bennett, who testi
fied In the case, can furnish such an
affidavit. If the proper material can
be secured. I shall proceed for Mr.
Small’s removal.”
A. L. Bennett is local salesman for
the White Star Refining Cos., In whose
favor a judgment was rendered by
Justice DeGaw against Small and Dr.
Richard T. Man on. who, he found, con
stitute the Alpha Chemical Cos.
Mr. Marsh said that it 1b not likely
that he will decide until Saturday, or
perhaps later, on what action to take.

Lawton T. Hemana has replied to
Mayor Marx’s note to the state rail

findings of the commission in ti

mayor, in part, his letter Is as fol

"From your letter we are led to
believe that you have not read the
full text of the commfrslon's report
and have not been made familiar with
the statute which confers jurisdiction

the report mentions certain abuses of
the service, but we tried to make
plain that they are the result of the
kind of service the company has sold.
It Is not so much the fault of the
people that they talk as the fault of
the company In selling a kind of
service that does not facilitate the
talking. The company hau permitted
or encouraged many patrons that had
need for Individual line service to
take two or four-party line service.
It is not plain that had the company
sold an eight or ten-party line serv

per cent of its telephones upon such
lines, the traffic would have been cor

Speech of Representative is
Unanswerable
Congressman Samuel W. Beakea, of
Ann Arbor, Democratic representa
tive of the second district, who was
in the city last evening, said when
asked as to Die Interview with an
anonymous Democrat in The News:
“The Interview was evidently In
spired by a party deeply Interested In
the patronage fight, and one whom I
think I can name. But the facts he
brings out only confirm my statement,
excepting that after scouring the state
over, they have found one man In the
Wilson Democrat league, who hokis a
salaried office and whom I did not
mention.
"They list a large number of Gov.
Ferris’ appointments, but these ap
pointments carry no salary. The
only two of the Wilson league now
holding salaried appointive offices are
Secretary Nesbitt and Dairy and Food
Commissioner Helme.
"Make the contrast with the state
central committee. The following
three hold appointive offices drawing
compensation, other than expenses:
Edmund C. Shields, Mark Stevens and
John Kinnane. Os the rest, two hold
salaried officers, eight are candidates
for postmaster, one for district at
torney and one for United States mar
shal. while three have been candidates
for salaried appointments which they
failed to get. This accounts for 18
out of 25 members of the state cen
tral committee. As this committee
was bitterly anti-Wilson, it does not
seem that they are at all backward
about stepping up to the pie-counter
for themselves.”

NEW YORK BUSINESS

Roar of Applause Follows Pat
riotic Appeal of Diplomat at
Commerce Banquet
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—“1 appeal
to the heart and tne head of every
gentleman present In tills chamber, lu
this trying Mexican situation there
ia but one duty for all of usf aud that
la to stand by the president of the
United States.”
This sentiment, uttered by Joseph
H. Choate, former ambassador to
Great Britain, Republican, at the one
hundred and forty-fifth anniversary
of the New York chamber of com
merce, here, last night, brought roars
of cheers and was commented upon
today as one of the most patriotic ex
pression* by any public man In New
York since the assassination of Ma
dero and the rise of Huerta brought
Mexico into the limelight.
More than 500 listeners, the biggest
j business men in New York, sat up
and listened eagerly when Choate
broke abruptly into the Mexican prob
lem. They wondered what he would
say. In a second their doubts were
resolved. „
“What U the most stirring thing
that ugitates the hearts of the Ameri
can people today?” said the former
ambassador. “It is Mexico. What
are we going to do with Mexico, or
what 1s Mexico going f© A© with us 7
I should like vary much to discuss
the policy of the United States with
regard to Mexico. I think I could oc
cupy the whole evening with It—if I
only knew what that policy was.
"But there Is only one man who
knows that policy, and he very wise
ly keeps his own counsel. It is a very
trying situation; It is a very danger
ous situation, but one thing I know
and for one thing I appeal to the heart
and the head of every gentleman pres
ent in tills chamber: that In this try
ing Mexican situation there is but
one duty for nil of us. and that Is to
stand by the president of the United
States.
"You may call it diplomatic busi
ness. you may call it executive busi
ness. but it Is fair to assume that the
president is in possession of informa
tion vastly superior to that which
even all of the members of the cham
ber of commerce possesses. He knows
what he is about He knows what
he Is aiming at.
"One thing wa are sure of: tiiat he
is for peace, that he is for preserving
peace at all hazards, and that by no
act of his shall this nation be plunged
into a destructive and dreadful war.
He is entitled to that from us without
regard to party.
“We must stand by our president
through thick and thin, and we shall
come out right in the end.”
