I honeslty feel sorry for Mrs. Henderson, but the poor girl Is Infatu- ated with Heinze.’’ Mrs. French declares that the finan- cial flurry of 1907 waa caused by the refusal of Chas. W. More* and Chaa. T. Barney to advanca a million dollars to protect their stock pool, and tells of HeJnse’a excitement when he re- turned on the night of a final confer- ence at Morse’s home, when the money waa refused. “He said he had told them: ’I may go down tomorrow, but you'll go down with me.' And they did. Within a few days Mr. Barney was dead (a sui- cide), and subsequently Mr. Morse went to prison.” Helnze’a refusal to return her $25,- 000 mining stock, or Ilva up to a writ- lau agreement allowing her S3OO a month, caused the exposure which has btartled New York, Mrs. French says. Hi base's marriage to Mrs. Henderson la scheduled for Sept. 1. “I understand that Mr. Halnse has aspirations to run for the United States senatorshlp in Montana,” says Mrs. French, ‘‘but I don’t think he will dare run now. If he does. I’ll go on the stump myself in Montana. I think 1 could furnish a little dope on Mr. Heinze and Montana politics that wouldn’t do his chances any good. Glvaa Out Letters. One of Heinze’s pet names for him- self, signed to adme of hla letters, is 'Fog,”.a play upon “F. Aug.,” the way he often signed his first names. A few excerpts from Mrs. French’s packet of Helnse’s letters follow: “Your very aweet letter Juat receiv- ed.

I WARNERI FATHER; End Comes in Farmington After Lingering Illness—Had Been Spanker of House in 1867. FARMINGTON. Mich., Aug. 29.—P. 1 LH-au Warner, speaker of the house of representative* in 1867 and father of Gov. kred M. Winner, died at hi* Lome here this uiornlug at the age of *8 years, from ills Incident to age. The governor was praaeat when the end came. Although not forced to take to his | led. .Mr. Warner bad beau in feeble health for seveial weeks and hi* death at rhi* time was not entirely uuex IH-cted. He never entirely recovered from an Illness in 1906. During the past we**k when his con- ulllon was considered such as to re- quire considerable attention, the gov- ernor spent uuch time with his father, coming here almost dally from his summer home at Cass lake, near Pontiac. Last night the governor bl'eut the entire night with his father., Ihe end came shortly after 6 o’clock. P. Dean Warner was boru In New York state, and came to Michigan w ith his pareats when he waa 2 years old. The trip from the east was made by boat to Detroit, and thence over- land, via Dearborn, to Farmington. The latter part of the trip took three days, and Mr. Warner was the sec- ond white child in this section, the other one having been born two days before his arrival. When a young man Mr. Warner engaged In the mercantile business, and operated a general atore here un- til about 25 years ago, when he was succeeded by his son. Later the elder Warner established a private bank, known as the Warner bank, which was later merged with the in- stitution known as the Exchange bank of Farmington. He was pre«i». dent of the bank at the time of bis death. In 1854. 1865 and 1867 he was a member of the Michigan house of rep- resentatives, being elected speaker hla last term. He waa a member of the constitutional convention the same year. In 1669 he waa elected senator from this district. Besides the ton. Mr. Warner leaves a widow, three years his junior. The funeral will be held from the late home Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock. FREIGHT RATES MUST BE INCREASED, HE SAYS E. P. Ripley, Preeident of Santa Fa, Testifies Before Interstate Com- merce Officials. CHICAGO. Aug. 29—President E. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe railroad, today testified at the opening of the freight rate hearing before G. N. Brown, special examiner for the inter- state commerce commission that the necessity of permanent improvements Justified the advance in western freight rates agreed upon by 202 west- ern roads and approved by the com- mission to take effect July 1. but which was suspended by agreement pending a thorough hearing by the commission. Out of tha earnings of the roads, Ripley testified, they ought to make •uch improvements as yield no direct return on the investment. Among these he included grade croesiug elimination work, the paving of streets and building of passenger sta- tions. “There has never been a time in the history of the Santa Fe” he said, “When the pressing demands of this kind did not amount to three or four times our earnings.” Ripley said the earnings of rail- roads should leave a margin to cover depreciation in these improvements. He said all the western roads had been partly rebuilt or would have to be entirely rebuilt soon. This was necessary he said, that the roads might meet the demands of the pub- lic. Ripley testified the advance In freight rates the roads are defending was practically a negligible quantity to the consumer. He said the average family of flve would not be com- pelled to spend $1 more a year extra a* a result. Ripley said seventy per cent of all the railroads earned went back to the public. Labor and ma- terial alone consumed half of the railroad’s earnings. WATCH OUT FOR BOGUS MONEY. Confederate Bills In Circulation In North-Weatarn Portion of City. Precinct Detectives Horrigan and Schlunt are having their trouble* these day*, tracing down purveyors in Confederate bills.

Mayor Breitmeyer, wearing bis cus- tomary radiant smile, returned borne Monday morning from his 2,400-mlle motor trip through the east, accom- panied by Mrs. Breitmeyer ami Mr. and Mrs. John Gillespie. In spite of bis smiling countenance, however, the mayor considers himself lucky to he alive for he flirted with death ou the celebrated Fort George hill. Just out of New York city. "It la a remarkably steep hill and none of us knew how dangerous it was until we had started down it and it was then too late to go back," related the mayor. "Gillespie slowed down aa much as he could, but at that w f e were going at a pretty good clip. Nearing the bottom we found that the road took us over a narrow railroad cross- ing with a stone wall on one side and a high curb on the other, but imagine our predicament when we found that the way was blocked by an express wagon and a team of horses. "1 said to myself, It’s all up with us now,’ for I didn't see how theer was a possible chance to avoid a smash. I figured that the tongue of the wagon would catch me squarely in the pit of the stomach, so I pre- pared to Jump. Just as 1 raised my- self up in the seat John turned the machine sharply to the right to run It on the sidewalk and I pitched out headforemost. Fortunately I escaped with a whole skin, but they say I was a sight when I picked myself up." Gillespie’s version is even more graphic. “All at once I heard Mrs. Breit- meyer scream, ‘Oh, Philip Breit- meyer!’ I looked around and the mayor’s seat was empty. As soon as I could bring the machine to a stop l looked back and there was the mayor rolling down the hill like a ball and doing better than 20 miles an hour. 1 thought he would never stop rolling, and It would have been funny if the danger had not been so great. It was a great relief when the mayor finally picked himself up and came hobbling over to the machine without anything more serious than a rip in hia trous- ers.” The machine was not damaged in the slightest and the party was able to proceed after the mayor had cleaned up a bit. The rest of the trip was made without further incident. The party learned afterwards that, this is the spot famous in automobile circles and the scene of many hill- climbing contests. Mayor Breitmeyer was absolutely mum on politics and the street car problem. The mention of William B. Thompson’s name as his opponent for the mayoralty brought only a smile "No politics today, boys," he Bald. "Give me a chance to dream on these matters first." The mayor, however, is preparing to launch a vigorous campaign im- mediately after the primaries, using the same car in which he took his vacation tour, to cover the city. Water Commissioner Gillespie, as usual. Will he hie campaign manager Rot’.i the mayor and Mr. Gillespie were greatly impressed with the ex- cellent road conditions In the east and the spirit everywhere apparent of civic cleanliness. "In Massachusetts we found the fin- est i (-ads in the world," said the mayor. "We found great stretchps of road. miles long In some Instances, that were Just as smooth as asphalt and not a particle of dust was raised. "In all the eastern cities there seems to be a tendency to clean up the streets and this was very graitfy- It g 1 secured a great many pointers on m.v trip which will help me In hr ndtlng the problems here as they come up Altosether I think it was the most enloyable trip I have ever taken."

Even if Joseph Sohn does get a lit- tle riled at time*, he has at least the good sense to apprise folks of his fits of temper. Joseph was feeling quite ’’rlley" last Saturday night, and, ac- cordingly, he posted a notice in the front window of his home at No. 468 Fifteenthst., to the effect that ail per- sons of pacific tendencies should re- main without. The notice went on to say that Mr. Sohn was out of sorts and that the re- ception accorded visitors would be far from pleasing. Asa result of his cau- tankerousness, he was in police court Monday morning. So was Mrs. Bohn. She loudly accused him of various forms of peevishness. She said that his affliction waa most aggravated last Saturday. On that occasion, she declared he had collected a barrel of iron and other Junk and scattered It over the floor. Then he secluded hla 1 trusty revolver under some old rags. Mrs. Bohn reproved him because he had sold her horse. She said that he told her ahe should never have her horse back. | "It la chasing green cheese in the moon,” is what Mrs. Sohn alleges her hubby said.

BERNICE GOLDEN HENDERSON.I'll never let up until I get a squaredeal. I honeslty feel sorry for Mrs.Henderson, but the poor girl Is Infatu-ated with Heinze.’’
Mrs. French declares that the finan-cial flurry of 1907 waa caused by therefusal of Chas. W. More* and Chaa.T. Barney to advanca a million dollarsto protect their stock pool, and tellsof HeJnse’a excitement when he re-turned on the night of a final confer-ence at Morse’s home, when the moneywaa refused.
“He said he had told them: ’I maygo down tomorrow, but you'll go downwith me.' And they did. Within afew days Mr. Barney was dead (a sui-cide), and subsequently Mr. Morsewent to prison.”
Helnze’a refusal to return her $25,-000 mining stock, or Ilva up to a writ-lau agreement allowing her S3OO amonth, caused the exposure which hasbtartled New York, Mrs. French says.Hibase's marriage to Mrs. Hendersonla scheduled for Sept. 1.
“I understand that Mr. Halnse hasaspirations to run for the UnitedStates senatorshlp in Montana,” saysMrs. French, ‘‘but I don’t think he willdare run now. If he does. I’ll go onthe stump myself in Montana. I think1 could furnish a little dope on Mr.Heinze and Montana politics thatwouldn’t do his chances any good.
Glvaa Out Letters.One of Heinze’s pet names for him-
self, signed to adme of hla letters, is'Fog,”.a play upon “F. Aug.,” the wayhe often signed his first names. Afew excerpts from Mrs. French’spacket of Helnse’s letters follow:
“Your very aweet letter Juat receiv-ed. I think of you lota, pussy cat, andhepe you have not suffered any re-lapse; take care of yourself and takethings easy. I can’t say that I haveseen anyone yet that can hold a candleto a certain little blond we know.With lots of.lot© and hoping you wellsoon again. Yours devotedly.
“F. A. H.”“I am very sorry you are so lonely

FREIGHT RATES MUSTBE INCREASED, HE SAYS
E. P. Ripley, Preeident of Santa Fa,Testifies Before Interstate Com-
merce Officials.CHICAGO. Aug. 29—President E.
P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe railroad,today testified at the opening of thefreight rate hearing before G. N.Brown, special examiner for the inter-state commerce commission that thenecessity of permanent improvementsJustified the advance in westernfreight rates agreed upon by 202 west-ern roads and approved by the com-mission to take effect July 1. butwhich was suspended by agreementpending a thorough hearing by thecommission.
Out of tha earnings of the roads,Ripley testified, they ought to make•uch improvements as yield no directreturn on the investment. Amongthese he included grade croesiugelimination work, the paving ofstreets and building of passenger sta-
tions.“There has never been a time in
the history of the Santa Fe” he said,“When the pressing demands of thiskind did not amount to three or fourtimes our earnings.”
Ripley said the earnings of rail-roads should leave a margin to coverdepreciation in these improvements.
He said all the western roads hadbeen partly rebuilt or would have tobe entirely rebuilt soon. This wasnecessary he said, that the roadsmight meet the demands of the pub-lic.
Ripley testified the advance Infreight rates the roads are defendingwas practically a negligible quantityto the consumer. He said the averagefamily of flve would not be com-pelled to spend $1 more a year extraa* a result. Ripley said seventy percent of all the railroads earned wentback to the public. Labor and ma-terial alone consumed half of therailroad’s earnings.

MAYOR HKD CLOSECKLLINNEW YORK
Pitched From Auto Going DownSteep Hill—Home, But Declines
To Discuss Politics.
Mayor Breitmeyer, wearing bis cus-tomary radiant smile, returned borneMonday morning from his 2,400-mllemotor trip through the east, accom-panied by Mrs. Breitmeyer ami Mr.and Mrs. John Gillespie. In spite ofbis smiling countenance, however, themayor considers himself lucky to healive for he flirted with death ou thecelebrated Fort George hill. Just outof New York city.
"It la a remarkably steep hill andnone of us knew how dangerous it wasuntil we had started down it and itwas then too late to go back," relatedthe mayor. "Gillespie slowed down aamuch as he could, but at that wf e weregoing at a pretty good clip. Nearingthe bottom we found that the roadtook us over a narrow railroad cross-ing with a stone wall on one side anda high curb on the other, but imagineour predicament when we found thatthe way was blocked by an expresswagon and a team of horses.
"1 said to myself, It’s all up withus now,’ for I didn't see how theerwas a possible chance to avoid asmash. I figured that the tongue ofthe wagon would catch me squarelyin the pit of the stomach, so I pre-pared to Jump. Just as 1 raised my-self up in the seat John turned themachine sharply to the right to runIt on the sidewalk and I pitched out
headforemost. Fortunately I escapedwith a whole skin, but they say I wasa sight when I picked myself up."
Gillespie’s version is even moregraphic.
“All at once I heard Mrs. Breit-meyer scream, ‘Oh, Philip Breit-meyer!’ I looked around and themayor’s seat was empty. As soon asI could bring the machine to a stop llooked back and there was the mayorrolling down the hill like a ball anddoing better than 20 miles an hour.1 thought he would never stop rolling,and It would have been funny if thedanger had not been so great. It wasa great relief when the mayor finallypicked himself up and came hobblingover to the machine without anythingmore serious than a rip in hia trous-ers.”
The machine was not damaged inthe slightest and the party was ableto proceed after the mayor hadcleaned up a bit. The rest of the tripwas made without further incident.The party learned afterwards that,this is the spot famous in automobilecircles and the scene of many hill-climbing contests.
Mayor Breitmeyer was absolutelymum on politics and the street carproblem. The mention of William B.Thompson’s name as his opponent forthe mayoralty brought only a smile
"No politics today, boys," he Bald."Give me a chance to dream on thesematters first."
The mayor, however, is preparingto launch a vigorous campaign im-mediately after the primaries, usingthe same car in which he took hisvacation tour, to cover the city. WaterCommissioner Gillespie, as usual. Willhe hie campaign manager
Rot’.i the mayor and Mr. Gillespiewere greatly impressed with the ex-cellent road conditions In the east andthe spirit everywhere apparent ofcivic cleanliness.
"In Massachusetts we found the fin-est i (-ads in the world," said themayor. "We found great stretchps ofroad. miles long In some Instances,that were Just as smooth as asphaltand not a particle of dust was raised.
"In all the eastern cities thereseems to be a tendency to clean upthe streets and this was very graitfy-It g 1 secured a great many pointerson m.v trip which will help me Inhr ndtlng the problems here as theycome up Altosether I think it wasthe most enloyable trip I have evertaken."

Nobody Comss to Pick An ArgumentBut He Gets Peevish With Wife
and Lands in Court.Even if Joseph Sohn does get a lit-
tle riled at time*, he has at least thegood sense to apprise folks of his fits
of temper. Joseph was feeling quite’’rlley" last Saturday night, and, ac-cordingly, he posted a notice in thefront window of his home at No. 468Fifteenthst., to the effect that ail per-sons of pacific tendencies should re-main without.
The notice went on to say that Mr.Sohn was out of sorts and that the re-ception accorded visitors would be farfrom pleasing. Asa result of his cau-tankerousness, he was in police courtMonday morning. So was Mrs. Bohn.
She loudly accused him of variousforms of peevishness. She said thathis affliction waa most aggravatedlast Saturday. On that occasion, shedeclared he had collected a barrel ofiron and other Junk and scattered Itover the floor. Then he secluded hla
