sons were indicted by the grand Jury
on tho eamo charge. Tho names of
all fcut 12 most prominent were
withheld from publication by Judge
C. W. Sessions, presiding, until war
rants could havo been served on
thom. Among those named were H.
W. Hopkins, St. Claire, Mich., assist
ant secretary of tho United States
senate; John C. Newberry, brother
of tho senator, Detroit, and Paul H.
King, of Detroit. King was manager
of tho Newberry campaign commit
too. The others named were: Allan K.
Templeton, of Detroit, president of

Icy, Eaton Rnplds, Mich., Gladston
Baettl, Paw Paw, Mich., and Harry
O. Turner, Detroit. Judge Sessions
indicated that tho evidence before
tho grand Jury disclosed tho fraudu
lent expenditure of between $500.-
Reports from Rocky Point Satur
day said that the object believed to
havo been a motor boat, seen In thef
ice a number of miles off shore Fri
day, was not visible on ,the follow
ing day. It is believed, lf it was a
boat, that when the breakup of tho
ico occurred Friday evening the
crow managed to run it ashore some
where. Five observers with powerful
glasses saw the object. Four were
certain it was a boat, but the fifth
thought it might bo a mass of float
ing tule. m
There is only ono party on the Up
per Lake, It is &aid, who could have
been out without being missed, a
trapper named Erlckson and some
companions who have a trappers'
camp on the marshes. The camp is
in a lonely place, so no one has seen
the trappers since Friday to learn if
they were out in their boat or not.
All other boats are easily accounted
for.
It is believed, 'however', that if
anyone was abroad on the lake and
got caught in the sudden freeze that
thoy got safely to shore when the
ice broke. . ,
Merging of soveral big timber ia
terests In tho Associated Lumber to
Box Company for tho establishment'
of a planing mill and box factory at
Dorrls to manufacture the lumber
output of the several mills involved
was announced today by T. W. Grah
am, president of the Anderson Lum
ber company, incorporated.
The Associated Lumber & Box
company plant will be ready for ope
ration next spring and will have a '
capacity of 25,000,000 feet a yearv
Mr. Graham stated.
Interested in the merger of inter
ests are Tartar & Webster, big manu
facturers ofstockton, California; Q.
H. Kcsterson, II. L. Gilkoy and the.
Anderson Lumber company. The Ut
ter three lntorests operate sawmills
and their product will all he manu
factured through the Dorrls plant.
A timber tract, containing 1800
acres, an estimated standing timber
body of 25,000,000 feet, has beea
recently acquired from the Oshkoslt
Land & Timber company through
their local representative, Wllllata
Bray. This gives the Associated
Lumber & Box company 200,000,
000 feet of available timber to work
on.
It is generally understood that
with a little united effort Klanutl
Falls might have induced the incor
porators of this enterprise to locate
their plant here, but the opportun
ity. If It existed, was evidently neg
lected. Mr. Graham did not make
any statement on this phase ot tto
matter and seemed quite satisfied
with the location selected.
WILL HOLD DEBATE
: AT OPERA HOUSE,
000 and $1,000,000 In connection
with the election.
Government officials asserted that
the testimony presented to the
grand Jury had revealed a political
scandal that in many respects was
without parallel in American an
nals. They said it extended from the
most populous wards -of Detroit to
the Indian reservations on the shores
ot Lake Superior, where aborigines
were voted according to the behest
of the Newberry campaign organi
zation. It was alleged that voters were
bribed, election boards corrupted,
oditors subsidized and moving pic
ture theaters bought up in the en
deavor to defeat Henry Ford, first
in the primaries of both parties and
later when he had won the Demo
cratic nomination, in the election itself.
A place to stage the debate on 'the
proposed hill for the opening of tho
'Klamath Indian Reservation be
tween C. M. O'Neill and Fred A:
Baker tomorrow night had not bees
definitely decided on this atternooa,
but the argument will take place at.
