Lansing Bureau
Unless  you  desire    a    mandatory
prison term of at least a year, don't
get canght selling booze or having it
in possession for sale of transporting
it for sale.     The House passed the
revamped    and    reconstructed  Cuth-
bertson bill' as returned by the Senate and the bill becomes  law when
signed by the governor.
Capital punishment is also under
way, with the best chance for becoming law which it has had for many
years. The Senate has passed a
measure providing for electrocution
and there is strong probability that
•the House will approve it. Then if
the governor also app'roves of the
measure it will go to a referendum
vote of the citizens of the state at
the November election next fall.
Quite a lot of,ifs, to be sure, but it
must be remembered that the Senate
has blocked the measure for several
sessions during which time the House
has proclaimed itself as favoring it
The Harnly bill permitting the
reading of the bible in the public
schools of the state, which has had a
stormy career and has been practically rebuilt, was placed on third reading
by the committee of the whole in the
House Friday morning by a narrow
margin, after a roll call had been demanded on a motion to refer it back
to the committee.
A proposal to impose a 50 per cent
tax on motion picture screen advertisements has been made a special
order of business for Tuesday in the
House. A provision is also made
that no increase can be made in admission on account of this tax.
Bills to allow Wayne county four
additional circuit court judges and
four more circuit court commissioners went through the House Thursday, and a number of local Wayne
county bills also found their way
through the mill, but.a bill for an additional judge in Macomb county was
ditched in the Senate.
The new election code prepared by
a special commission appointed las"
year by Governor ^Green was passec
by the Senate Thursday, after having
been pretty well clawed to pieces by
election committees. The most im
portant feature of the bill provides
for a perpetual registration of aU
voters, with state-wide application
and it also allows for recounts on primary elections, with a host of minor
changes. The bill will come in the
House next week.
The divorce mill is expected to be
impeded in its grist by the Harnly
bill whichjpassed the House Thursday
The bill provides for an interlocutor>
decree under which remarriage under
one year would be barred. The in
troducer claims the courts hold tha*.
this year of elapsed time would resuh
in many tangles being unraveled and
the warring couples would again de
cide to scrap it out outside of the
courts. Another important bill in
troduced by Rep. Harnly eliminates
insanity as a defense in criminal
cases on trial in courts. Instead oi
leaving the question of insanity to be
decided by the jury, this bill would
have it decided before the trial by
specialists to be appointed by the,
court.
The aviation bill introduced by Rep.
Claud Milliman, .providing ^that all
pilots must be licensed by the state,
passed the House Thursday, one of a
number of aviation bills sponsored by
the committee on aeronautics to regulate aviation in the state.
There is war again over medical
bills. Gov. Green Saturday vetoed
the chiropractor bill providing for ex-
afmiitatio'n ajnd licensing! of dhiro-
practors by a state board of chiropractic examiners. The bill had passed both Houses. The veto came as a
surprise to friends of the bill, who are
now trying to figure out whether to
try to pass the bill over the governor's veto or to endeavor to kill the
other medical bills now being held in
committees.- The war is likely tc
break into action early the coming^
week, as all factions are stirring'
things up in great shape.
Governor Green also vetoed the
bill which would have allowed town
ships to determine for themselves
whether they should have the privilege of electing township treasurers
for more than two terms.
The MeEachron hill providing that
branch offices shall be established for
the sale of license plates in all county
seats and in all cities of more than
10,00& population has passed both
houses.
A joint resolution introduced by
Rep, Gillett, proposed a constitutional
amendment to permit appointment of
Clare high school won their first
baseball game of the season from
Bvart high Friday, by the score of
flye to four, and although the game'
was lacking in thrills and was featured with numerous errors by both
teams, the Clare lads showed signs
of baseball proclivities and will no
doubt give" a good account of themselves  in future  games. S"
Joslin, on the mound for Clare was
effective, and allowed but five hits
and struck out seven men. Brskine,
who was pitching for Bvart, struck
out twelve men and the Clare lads
garned but five hits,
Some of Clare's errors were costly and on two different occasions the
locals would have had an opportunity
to score if the man had played safe
instead of taking too great a chance
off the sack.
The Alldread men scored -one run
in the second and four in the fifth,
while the sixth inning was the opportunity for Evart and they scored
their four runs in that session, when
the first two men up to bat got to
first base on errors.
Clare meets Coleman today for
the first game away from home.
circuit judges by the governor in case
a vacancy occurs, instead of calling
an election, was killed in the House,
failing to receive the required number
of votes.
The Jahnke bill permitting 15 round
championship boxing exhibitions has
passed the House, the vote being 53
to 30.
The budget bill, which is one of the.
Vital features of the session Was passed by the Senate this week and now
goes to the House for consideration.
With this matter disposed of, adjournment by May 4th is thought to be possible.
The repeal of the 5 day marriage
law, proposed in a bill by Rep. Darin
of Detroit, was killed in the House.
Monday night.
.A house measure providing for a
state board of aeronautics, to serve
without pay, was approved by the
Senate.'and will undoubtedly be signed by the governor.
Sen. Campbell's bill requiring all
automobiles to come to a full stop
before entering a trunk line highway,
to report all accidents involving personal injuries, to police officers within 48 hours and to regulate signal devices, was passed by the House Monday night.
Rep. John Gillett's bill providing
for reappointment to add 20 new members to the House, to limit Wayne
county 20 per cent of the House 'membership, was a football in the House
Tuesday evening. Rep. Culver said
he would agree to the provision limiting Wayne county's representation
to one-fifth if Wayne would be exempted from paying more than one-fifth
of the state taxes. Rep. Netting
wanted to know where Mr. Gillett
proposed to enlarge the state house
to accommodate the additional mem
bers and Rep. Campbell wanted to
know whether representation was to
be on a basis of the member ot* citi-1
zens or the number of jack pines.
However, the bill goes to third a-ead-
ing.
Rep. Johnson sponsors a bill prohibiting advertisements in newspapers .magazines or on bill'boards depicting the use of cigarettes by females.
Rep. Culver's biennial whipping
post bill is again up for consideration
in the House. Mr. Culver claims that
in Canada it is proving a great deterrent against crime, as it also is in
Deleware, which has a flogging law.
The Senate Thursday decisively defeated Sen. Lennon's cigarette tax
bill, which proposed a tax of $1.00 a
thousand on cigarettes and which
Mr. Lennon claimed would produce a
revenue ot $3,500,000. The vote was
19 to 12.
Women lobbyists were given a lashing in the Senate Wednesday by Sen.
Rushton, who told them they should
"Be home learning to cook, washing
dishes and caring for their children."
Got to hand it to Senator Rushton for
sheer bravery. It takes a lot of nerve
to talk like that to a bunch of women.
Try it out on one and see how you
come out.

been a bone of controversy    in    the

FUNERAL HELD FOR
JOHN FREER SUNDAY AFTERNOON
Deceased  Purchased Property West of City Where
Leisure Hours Were
Spent.
John Freer was born in Hawley*,
New York, December 25th, 1860, and
died in Bay City, April 18, 1929, aged
sixty-eight years, three months and
twenty-four clays. He came with his
paTents to Diamondale, when but seven years, of age and lived there until
he was sixteen when he went to work
in the lumber woods near Wolverine.
When but a small lad, he displayed
unusual ability to entertain with
singing and dancing and after working in the woods and camps for some
time, Mr. Freer took up ministrel and
vaudeville     work     and traveled
throughout Michigan with different
companies and independently, until
last spring when he was forced to
leave the stage on account of ill
health.
He was married in Gaylord to Miss
Cora Cornell and two children were
born to this union, Floyd, of Trav:
erse City, and Mrs. Angus Patterson,
of Barnwell, South Carolina. About
seven years ago he purchased the
residence just east of the Bellinger
farm home and has spent his spare
time there.
He was married in 1922. to Mrs.
Mae D. Stone at GrandkRaplds^ He
leaves to mourn their ilossj, the
widow, son and daughter; a step
mother, Mrs. Lawrence Jones, of
Wolverine, one sister, Mrs. George
Lewis of Wakefield, Michigan, two
brothers, Chiles and William, of
Detroit, beside other relatives and
friends.

PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION
ADVANCING NORTHWARD
Prison Labor to Aid  in Work
With Headquarters tit Mt. •■
Pleasant.
Forty separate highway projects
were authorized by the State Administration Board at their meeting Monday, and among these projects, U. S.
27 received very .favorable consideration.
This highway is to be widened and
graveled between Frederic and Grayling, a distance of seven and one*-halt
miles and also to be widened and
graveled from Grayling eight miles
south. This is a much needed improvement as the road is narrow
along this fifteen and one-half mile
stretch.
The Board also approved the
prison labor project for the concrete
paving of U. S. 27 from Mt. Pleasant
to Shepherd, nine and one-half miles,
and from Alma north and St. Louis
west to the end of the present concrete south of Shepherd, a distance
of nine miles.
With the pavement from St. Johns
to Ithaca now under gonstruction,
and this eighteen and one-half miles
approved for construction this year,
a paved way from Mt. Pleasant to
Lansing Avill be an actual fact before
the end of.the year.
The camp for the prisoners; who
are to be employed on this road, is
already under construction at Mt.
Pleasant, and there is every prospect
that the road from Mt. Pleasant to
Clare and possibility as far north as,
Harrison will be paved next summer.

COMMITTEE HAS
VIEWED DESIRABLE
P0ND_L0CATI0NS
W. W. Thayer Accompanied Supervisors and  Advises Visiting Turtle
Lake Ponds.
W. W- Thayer of Northvjlle, who
is connected with the Bureau of Fisheries of the United States'- Depart
mentmeht of Commerce, was in Clare
last Thursday, and in company with
Supervisors, Hether/ Carpenter and
Hutchinson visited several prospective, locations for trout rearing ponds.
Mr. Thayer was favorably impressed with the spring water streams of
Clare county, and several locations
were thought to be practical for the
building of ponds and the rearing of
trout, but it will be nece'ssary tor the
Supervisors committee to visit other
places where ponds are already built
in order to' formulate plans for the
local project.
Clare county is the first county of
the state "to propose the establishment of ponds in co-operation With
the federal bureau, and while it will
take some little time to work out all
of the details ancl get the job under
way, the project seems feasable and
assured.
Mayor Hether, John Asline, William Lange and Howard Jones, ' of
Clare, and Supervisors Carpenter and
Hutchinson, of Harrison, visited the
Turtle Lake- Club Wednesday to inspect the trout rearing ponds.
LOCAL GROCER INSTALLS COOLING CASE
F. M. Morgan Adds New Piece
of Furniture in Keeping With
Modern Ideas of Service.
Fred lvl. Morgan, during the past
years, has built up a prosperous grocery business through the adoption
of progressive methods and ideas,
and he recently changed the arrangement of his shelves and counters,
thus making his store one of the attractive business places of Clare.
During the past week, Mr. Morgan
Has installed a Dry Kold cooling case
for the complete line of cold meats
which he has added to his already
large stock of food supplies.
The case which is manufactured in
Niles, Michigan, is finished in golden
oak to match the refrigerator which
is also' connected with the new cooling system. It has been placed
across tne store at the rear of the
room, and provides additional counter space and adds to the convenience
and attractiveness of the store.
Flood lights at the top of the case
add greatly its beauty and utility,
and the cooling system is of the latest and most modern type. It is entirely automatic and has thermostatic control, and an electric motor
installed in the baseniennt, noiseless
in its operation, furnishes the power.
Spaces for surplus stock, shelf for
the scales and room for wrapping
goods make this new article of store
furniture a valuable addition to the
"R" grocery.
Mr. Morgan announces that he will
endeavor at all times to keep a complete stock of cold meats, and also
a complete line of vegetables and
green stuffs, to supply the needs of
the home folks as well as the large
number of tourists Who visit his
Store during the summer.

CLARE BAND WINS IN
DISTRICT CONTEST
AT MLMEASANT
Organization to Hold Dress
. Rehearsal at H. S.  Auditorium Tuesday Evening to Secure Funds
For Lansing Trip.
The Clare high school band will
participate in the Class C finals of
the state band contests to be held at
the Michigan State College, at East
Lansing, May*"3rd, according to "information received Thursday, from
Miss Ada Bicking, Director of music
Education in the Department of Public Instruction.
Miss Bicking, who was out of the
state at the time of the district contest at Mt-. Pleasant, state in-a let-
ter to Superintendent Bogan that
when she .arrived in Lansing, she
found some cpmplications and' irregularities in the classification of
bands at the Mt. Pleasant meet, and
that the Pattengill and West Junior
bands of Lansing were improperly
classified, and played Junior music
instead of that required for Class C
The judges_ at Mt. Pleasant awarded the first and second places to
these Lansing bands but due to the
improper classification, they were
not entitled to the honors, and
Clare, being given third place by the
judges, is the winner of Class C at
Mt. Pleasant and therefore entitled
to participate in the finals ;at Lansing.
Our local musical organization un*
der the leadership of George Boyd
made an excellent showing at Mt.
Pleasant, and will not have to compete at East Lansing with these Lan*
sing bands as they will be placed in
Class E. where they belong.
It will be to the honor ahd credit
of the Clare school as well as the
entire community to have' our boys
and girls in the finals, but it will entail some expense as the director has
arranged for a bus to transport the
band to Lansing, in order that he
may have the entire group with him
at all times.
The members of the band are en*-
thusiastic over their opportunity, and
were all willing to pay their own ex*
penses, but the school authorities
were of the opinion that the people
of the community would like fo have
an opportunity to participate, so they
have arranged to have" the band give
a dress rehearsal at the high school
auditorium next Tuesday evening at
8:00 o'clock. The admission charged will be 20 cents for adults and 10
cents for children.
