"If I am asked to do the duties of building Inspector, I will enforce the laws in every instance to the strict letter. I will not allow " any one to do a- thing that is contrary to' the ordi nances.

Is the banquet to be given tonight in honor of Gen. Nelson A. Miles by the new Democratic club of this city intended to mark the formal launching of the Mile boom for the presidential nomlnationt This is the question that is being dis cussed with lively Interest In political ciroles today. The. organization under whose auspices the banquet . is being given disavows all interest in the al leged political ambition of the retired army chief. At the same time, however, it certainly appears from the way the affair has been "worked up" that It is Intended to possess some political sig nificance. - . That General Miles would be a willing listener to the bussing of the presiden tial bee has been an open secret in po litical circles for some years and that he likewise ia Inclined to throw his for tunes with the Democratic party is equally well known. Both before and since his retirement from the army he has been a frequent guest at banquet, but the banquet here tonight is the first strictly partisan affair at whloh he has consented to be, the guest of honor. ' j Something la the Wind. -. Hence, It is not-unnatural for the political wiseacres to conclude that there la"something in the wind," though few Democratio leaders of consequence care to venture a prediction' as to the probable chances the general would stand in a race for the presidential nom ination at the coming St, Louis conven tion. - 'r, - Aside from any political significance it may possess the banquet promises to be one of the most notable affairs of its kind ever given in Grand Rapids. Cov ers will be laid for several hundred guests and among them will be Demo cratic leaders of promlnenoe throughout Michigan.

He then Informed the court that he had been "roped into this deal" by Herman and Stags, with whom ho had become acquainted in Seattle. He met them on the street and asked them for a dime. Finding he was pen niless they Induced him to begin a ca reer of crime. On inquiry the court dis covered that Hammond had held a gov ernment position In the Philippines. He learned from Arthur Spencer, the assist ant district attorney, that Hammond had rendered assistance during the trial in the gathering of evidence, and there upon gave him the minimum sentence of two years. Stags made a weak defense, saying he did not know it was against the law to pass forged checks, but thought the crime consisted in forging them. Judge Fraser smiled and imposed a sentence of four years. Stags made no response when accused by Hammond of being partly responsible for his trouble , , - Herman appeared, for sentence before Judge Cleland. Mr.. Spencer Informed the court . that the prisoner had never denied hi guilt, and told the authori ties everything he was asked. He ad mitted that Herman was a "bad man." but believed the fact that he had given the officials no trouble in the way of oonvlction should entitle him to a smal ler sentence than would otherwise b the case. - He was given two years by tbe court' ; - - ...

PLUMBING MUST BE BY LICENSE LAW Complaints filed in tha state circuit court this morning against H. Claussen- lus jr. and Frank Healy form one of the few instances in which the law requir ing plumbers to secure a license has been brought to public attention. The license provision is contained in the law of 1903, which specifies that in all cities of more than 4,000 inhabitants the mayor Is to appoint a board of examin ers, composed of two master and one Journeyman plumber. The mayor ia ex- officio chairman of the board, one mem ber also receiving the appointment , of inspector.,. The complaints against Claussenlus and Healy were filed by Thomas E. Hulme, inspector of plumb ing for Portland. The Portland board consists of Mayor Wlfllams. i Hulme, William Stevenson and William Finnl gan. 'fr :. r, It is alleged in the comolalnta that Claussenlus and Healy have practiced the vocation of plumbing since March 1. though they have no licenses. The com plaints were drawn up by, Arthur C, Spencer, the assistant district attorney. ' TO CXTBB C0Z.S XV OHB SAY Take Laxatlr 'Rromo Oiilnln T.hiot. ill druKKdti refund the money Jt fail ta cure. B.

(Special Dlapatcb by Leaaed Wire to Tbe Journal) - By Vathan Cohen. , Albany, N. T.. March J8.--I send, you herewith extracts 'which show the char acter and the animus Of a pamphlet sent out from Albany, the distribution center of Mr. David Hill's political plans, schmes and Animosities. The purpose Of this pamphlet is plain. It seeks to promote the schemes of one Individual politician ' and the welfare of his per sonal candidate at the expense of the democracy of the state and at the risk of losing the state in the coming national contest.. . The . pamphlet, widely : dis tributed, is supposed to ' further Mr. Hill's plans And to help Judge Parker's chances for the democratio' nomination. But as a matter of fact it must result in driving Mr.' Hill further 'away from political Influence then he was driven throifgh his course in 1888 and 1900. And it must . seriously damage -any chances Judge Parker may have. Pamphlet Attack leader Xuxpny. j At the critical moment in the history of the party alleged democrats - issue from Albany this pamphlet attacking that section and those democrats that must give the votes t carry the state. The democratio victory in New Tork City last fall is declared by this pamph let not a democratio victory, but merely a protest against Low. The leader of the New York City democratio organi sation is attacked as "Boss Murphy' and "the man who has hot hesitated to play the traitor to the national demo cratio party twice, who schemes con, stantly for personal control of the state, regardless of party interests." It ac cuses Charles F. Murphy of an attempt to control the entire state from New York City. This Albany leader accuses the New Tork democracy of a desire to handle the money that will build the canal and using Grover Cleveland's name as a aecoy. ;v State's Semocratlo Vote Imperilled. This Alblan, who would be the leader of the state, does not hestltato to de fame and antagonise at this critical moment the democratio organisation of New Tork city, although he knows that without the votes of that organlsatlor the state of New Tork would be hope lessly republican. - In reply to Mr. Hill's pamphlet It should be pointed out that Mr. Murphy and the democrats of New York City, unlike the nationally re pudiated "leader" of Albany, - are : not guilty of knifing the party for the, sake Of personal Supremacy. - tfOnly political viclousness or stupidity could lead a democrat at thla time to Impeach the entire democratio ' vote of New Tork City. Such a circular as sent out is unfair as well as very un wise. The ' democrats of New ' Tork City voted the Tammany ticket because it was the -democratio ticket -and cer tainly the Tammany leaders have shown themselves better democrats than the authors of this anonymous publication. Tammany XCas) Hot Attacked Kim. Tammany has not out out any artonv mous circulars attacking Mr. HlU or Judge Parker, - and unlike Mr. Hill, tauuieg jr. murphy has not announced himself as the entire Democratio party of New Tork state and arrogated himself the right to select a candidate and say to tne oeiegatea: t , ; 'This man shall be your nominee, and no other." - . Neither Mr. Murphy nor Tammany ha Issued pamphlets pointing out the ad mitted fact that Tammany gave to Coler, Mr. Hill's candidate, the astounding ma jority of 123.000 in Greater New Tork and that Mr. . Hill's personal unpopularity made it impossible for, Coler to poll up tha state the paltry number of Demo cratio votes that would have made him governor " -' 4 - - .: . -, Tammany has not Issued pamphlets to say that while Mr. Coler was an excel lent and able gentleman, Mr. Hill's as sociation and Identifications with htm defeated him. .'', Tammany has issued no circular at tacking Mr. Hill'e present Candidate and of floiouBly showing that Judge Parker's election was duo to the fact that one of the opposition political -parties failed to nominate a candidate against him. Tammany has not called attention to the fact that Judge Parker's total vote in New Tork was only 654,680, whereas Mr. Color received 856,898 votes, or 100,. 718 more than Parker and was still de feated for governor, and Mr, Bryan re ceived (78,386 votes, or 123.706 more than Parker, and was still defeated for presi dent. 'V'.v :,:,;.' ' I'.;.-' ; Tammany hall has not sought to wake up party strife to. '-make It difficult for the Democratio party to win in the com ing election, and Mr. Hill should not do so., He should not send out pamphlets, anonymous or otherwise, defaming the organizations, the leaders and the voters who must carry the state for the Demo cratic party if it is to be- carried. Pamphlet Is BTo AM to Bis Candidate. Mr. HlU is understood to have an am bition to be once more accepted by the Democrats of the nation as a member ot the Democratic party. He Is said to have repented of the fact that he abandoned his party the moment that he found cor rupt financial Interests solidly arrayed against It He does not help his candi date by striking .at the real Democracy of. this state over, his candidate's shoulders, and Judging Parker's chance will not be Improved by spreading wide tne ract that his chief endorser Is the one who deserted his party at the behest of corporation influences. The Demo cracy of the United States does not want a candidate presented to them as the personal representative of a man who could be driven out of his party on orders from Wall street The thing for - Mr. HlU to do is to- stop Issuing anonymous pamphlets against men who have always been n the Democratic party And slop his efforts to dictate to the Democracy of the state. Deserters plead various ex. ouses for their desertion, but they should be modest for a little time, at least, and they should not Injure friends by forcing too close association upon them. i CANDY AND TOBACCO STOLEN FROM DOCK Some easily satisfied robber or robbers broke into the Washington street dock last night and stole four pounds of Star chewing tobacco and three pounds of chocolate candy, .The goods were to be shipped to the country merchants along the river.' - Entrance Into the dock was effected by breaking the lock. With the exception of prying open a caddy of tobacco, and a box of candy the thieves did not. extend t&elr-depreda tions. Tbe police have not been notified of the occurrence, but those about the dock who have investigated the matter are of the opinion that the robbery was committed by soma young fellow and his girl. The character of the goods stolen led' them to this conclusion.
