TO ASK PROBE OF MILK PRICES HERE Ald. John Mutz Preparing Resolution Citing 8-Cent Rate in Other Cities' A resolution has been prepared for in the city council Monintroduction, asking appointment of a committee to investigate the price of milk in The solan measure, Lansinponsored by Ald.

Alderman Mutz also is the sponsor of the resolution introduced time ago which would request the Consumers Power company to reduce rates on gas used for cooking purposes. The gas rate resolution still is pending before the city council city affairs committee which is studying data in connection with the rates. SENATE WEIGHT TAX BILL IN FOR CHANGES (Concluded from Page 1) might be better for men politically if I was given direction of Although passed by the senate with but one negative vote the measure does not meet with the approval of members of that body. They are free to express their opinions of the bill to which they gave their approval.

They are wont to ridicule its provisions and hardly believe it will bring tax relief, where most needed. Representative Earl McNitt of Cadillac, chairman of the committee on roads and bridges, states that his committee a will make an honest effort to work the bill into shape before allowing it to be placed on the floor of the house where unquestionably attempts will be made to affix many amendments. Paul W. Voorhies states frankly that had not the measure been started in the senate it would never have a chance of passing the house. With the stamp of senate approval it has a chance of passage now, he believes, Constitutional questions are now being considered including a question as to authority of the legislature to distribute highway funds according to geographical divisions without resorting to a referendum.

Salary Slash Plan in Senate The administration budget bill with slashes in salaries of state officials and employes down to the employe receiving compensation not to exceed $1,200 per annum is lodged in the senate while Senator Arthur Wood of Detroit and other members of the committee on finance and appropriations study work done by employes and compare salaries. A list has been prepared showing the salaries all officials employes of the state. on a basis of comparison for the past few years. Representative William J. Thomas of Kent county, chairman of the house taxation committee states he is experiencing difficulty in getting together members of his committee for the purpose of considering the resolution calling for a graduate income tax as proposal to be voted upon in the November election.

Opposition to the income tax is marked. The resolution which conforms with a recommendation made by Governor Brucker message calls for initiation of a proposal to amend the state constitution. Fenner Scored in House C. V. Fenner, president of the Home Defense, league, came in for attacks during the past week when resolutions requesting Governor Brucker to open the field for consideration of a retail store license tax were introduced in the senate and house.

The senate adopted a resolution drawn by Fenner and introduced by Senator George Sadowski after the galleries had been cicared and the debate carried on in executive session. Mr. Fenner was not so successful in the house where the resolutions committee substituted the SadowskiFenner resolution and the house tabled the substitute resolution after prolonged debate. The substitute restricted the use of funds collected from the license fee to carry obligations of the state for patients in county tuberculosis sanatoria. Fenner was accused by members of the house and in a letter read into the records by Gus T.

Hartman, chairman of the house ways and means committee, of attempting to influence unduly retail merchants and members of the legislature. Late Friday he was attempting to locate a member of the house who would consent to place in the records a letter denying charges made against him and also attempt to have the resolution taken from the table. The legislature plans but little work the fore part of the coming week. Brief sessions are to be held Monday and Tuesday, many members leaving Tuesday night for Grand Rapids there to attend the republican state convention. Nation to Begins Be Moved Saving Ahead Daylight; Sunday (By the Associated Press) NEW YORK, April 23 DAYLIGHT saving time will be upon us, or at least 1 upon some of us living in the United States and Europe.

Canada will come in, too, on May 1 and then the savers of sunlight will number approximately 145,000,000. set its clocks up on April Portugal on April 2, Belgium on April 3, and Great Britain on April 17. Holland will start on May 22 and keep the time that way for five months. Brazil and Chile have already had their little fun with the clocks.

Not all of the United States will observe the practise. Some states have laws forbidding it. The Merchants' a as- PUBLISHERS READY FOR ANNUAL MEET Newspaper Owners to Gather In Convention Next Tuesday in New York City NEW YORK, April 23 (AP) Directors of the American Newspaper Publishers association were meeting Saturday to make final plans for the annual convention which will open next Tuesday at the Hotel Waldorf Astoria. The first session Tuesday afternoon will be devoted to small daily newspapers. Economy has been listed as one of the chief topics for discussion.

The annual meeting of the Associated Press will precede the publishers' convention with a session on roof of the Waldorf Astoria Monday. Ogden L. Mills, secretary of the treasury, will speak at the annual luncheon. Five directors will be elected or re-elected to replace that number retiring.

Lawrence Tibbett, baritone, will sing. BINGHAM SEES PLOT BY CAPONE IN KIDNAPING (Concluded from Page 1) cell he occupies in Chicago. The gangster chief denied making the offer. The same high official said he believed Col. Charles A.

Lindbergh personally had re-established contact with persons who mulcted him of a $50,000 ransom payment recently and then ran out on their promise to return the kidnaped child. Two Norfolk men trying to deal with the kidnapers returned to their homes from secret missions after a colleague, the Rev. H. Dobson-Peacock, had, said Friday that Col. Charles Lindbergh had renewed his request for the three to continue their work.

On their return, Rear Admr. Guy H. Burrage and John H. Curtis, the two intermediaries, refused to say where they had been or what success they had. Two of the bills with which the ransom was paid turned up in Havana, dispatches from there said.

The "Jafsie" advertisement "What is wrong?" disappeared from newspapers for first time since a few days after the money was paid on April 2. "Jafsie" is Dr. John F. Condon, Bronx educator, who communicated with the supposed kidnapers by a series of advertisements and then turned over Colonel Lindbergh's money to a man in a Bronx cemetery. The reputed Capone offer included an absolute guarantee by the gang leader that the Lindbergh baby would be returned to his parents very few days if Colonel Lindbergh would arrange for Capone's temporary release from jail.

Capone, his lieutenant assured the official connected with the Lindbergh investigation, would effect the baby's return without the payment of any ransom in addition to that which the colonel has already paid. The gang leader promised to return to his prison cell as soon as the baby was safely at home. Whether the offer will be accepted is a matter of conjecture. Colonel Lindbergh took it under consideration with the intention of conferring with his associates before making a definite decision. Should he accept, however, it is certain federal officials at Chicago and probably at Washington would be called on to give their assistance.

Once Made Overture Once before, Capone made a similar overture. H. Wallace Caldwell, former president of the Chicago board of education, outlined such a scheme when he visited the Lindbergh estate on March 22. At that time, Colonel Lindbergh and police officials rejected the offer flatly, saying the information given them by Caldwell was found to have no bearing on the case. The day after the baby was kidnaped on March 1 Capone told newspapermen he could obtain its return if he were released for that purpose.

He offered to furnish $100.000 bail. Police at Syracuse. N. created a mild flurry excitement Friday by holding a child brought from nearby Brewerton. They communicated their information to police officials here and after describing the child were told "absolutely it is not the Lindbergh child." Col.

H. Norman Schwarzkopf disclosed in one of his bulletins that inquiries made at Scotland yard in London regarding the past life of Betty Gow, the Lindbergh nurse, and Mr. Mrs. Walter butler and cook, brought the information that all three had "fine records" in England. Arrest of South Africa Man Puzzles Police NEW YORK.

April 23 -Both Commissioner Mulroney of New York police and Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of New Jersey state police, were at a loss Saturday to explain the arrest of John M. Long at Johannesburg, South Africa, in connection with the Lindbergh kidnaping. Colonel Schwarzkopf said "none of the police authorities at these headquarters (the Lindbergh home) requested his arrest and we have nothing which would indicate that he is FIRST MEET HELD BY ATHETLIC CLUB Group's Program Friday Evening Includes Music, Boxing, and Stunts Lansing Athletic club held the first of its bi-monthly get-togethers Friday night at the Hotel Kerns.

TO RECOMMEND WIDER POWERS FOR HOOVER (Concluded from Page 1) submarine officers were stricken out.

At the White House, President Hoover signed the sharply cut 1933 supply bill for the interior department, carrying $45,398,760. In a statement he expressed the hope congress would grant some flexibility in the use of the funds and authority for his furlough plan of cmployment to enable the administration to effect economies "with less interruption to the public service and without such serious hardship on numbers of employes." Opposes Cut in Salaries Earlier, it was made known that President Hoover is strongly opposed to a straight cut in salaries as provided in the omnibus retrenchment bill, and to the senate's policy of reducing supply bills a flat 10 percent. The Chief Executive believes that if the 11 percent salary cut, with a $1,000 exemption, and the slashes in supply bills are made effective tween 50,000 and 75.000 government workers would be discharged. It was noted at the White House that but $67.000.000 would be saved by the flat salary cut proposal as against $82,000,000 under the furlough without pay and five-day work week plan recommended by the President Earlier, Speaker Garner told Wilber in a letter that if the President had directed cabinet members last fall to reduce, government expenses 10 perthan $400,000,000 could have been saved in 1933. Claims Lack of Co-operation The Texas democrat's letter was in answer to one from Wilbur assailing congress for the reduction from 000.000 to $45.000,000 in the interior department's supply bill.

"When I spoke to the newspapermen about you and other cabinet members as well as the President, failing to co-operate with the congress I referred particularly to your declining to give information as to where real cut could be made in the cost of government," Garner wrote. "In other words, my dear Mr. Secretary, it is clearly demonstrated that if you and your co-laborers in the cabinet had been as anxious to reduce the cost of government as congress has demonstrated its disposition to be, you would have reduced your estimates at least $250.000.000 and our labors here would have been reduced to that extent." Under the cconomy committee's bill, President Hoover would be empowered to transfer by executive order any government agency not created by a statute, any department without destring its functions subject to a 60- day veto by congress. In addition, the President is authorized to recommend to congress the abolition of any federal agency and its functions created through statute. He be directed to report any consolidations made or desired to congress at the beginning of each regular session, Stomach Pump Convicts Driver Sheriff Has Analysis Made When Owosso Man Denies Driving While Drunk Special to The State Journal: owosso, April 23-A new wrinkle in gaining evidence against drunk drivers has been introduced here by Sheriff J.

DEFENSE PUTS BAN ON SANITY TEST OF MASSIE (Concluded from Page 1) ing Kahahawai with a pistol also a felony. "Kahahawai, then, was killed while Massie committing two feloniesone immediate, the other more remote.

"The defendant's own testimony also shows all four of them planned the kidnaping, and that Massie carried his pistol to the Fortescue house (scene of the killing) that morning. Conspiracy therefore is evident. 'A peculiar situation arises then that the jury manslaughter might instead find of Massle second on guilty degree rel murder on account of insanity, but at the same time the other defendants could be found guilty of second degree murder." One Alienist to 'Testify Under the law the jury can find the defendants guilty of nothing more than second degree murder, since that is the technical charge upon which they were brought to trial, but they might reach a verdict entailing lesser I punishment. The penalty for second degree murder is 20 years to life imprisonment; for manslaughter 10 years as a maximum. One of the prosecution alienists, Doctor Bowers, may testify, Kelley said, but added that Doctor Catton, a prosecution witness in the Phoenix "trunk murder" trial of Winnie Ruth Judd, had not definitely been decided upon as a prosecution witness here.

Kelley predicted the trial would run into the middle of next week. He said his argument to the jury would require no more than an hour or so. Darrow, however, expects to take three or four hours.

The theme of the occasion was not merely the pride of this quaint Warwickshire market town in its most famous son, but there was more than a touch of that sentiment in its picturesque and winding streets. Here Shakespeare lived and loved and laughed; here he was born and here he died. And here he lies buried under a simple stone in Holy Trinity church. Tradition has it, too, thai this was both his birth and death day.

Great and near great made pious pilgramages here Saturday, but all seemed dim against the luster of the butcher's son who wrote pieces for the theater 300 years ago.
