Detroit Has Deficit in The
City Treasury
COMMISSIONER ACCEPTS BRIDES
Has Been Removed From Office and
Has Gone to Mexico. Funds
Have seen Misapplied.

Detroit, Mich, July 1.-Commis.
sioner of Public Works Dewitt H. More
land, one of the appointees under the
ripper" act of the legislature of two
years ago, was removed from office by
the city council last evening as the
result Of an investigation of his office
which has been going on for the past
two weeks. 1t is charged that he has
misapplied public funds and solicited
brides from contractors.
Mayor Maybury at once appointed
his cousin, William H. Maybury, chair
mar of the Democratic county COM
mittee, to succeed Moreland.
Moreland has disappeared, but 1t is
learned from a source worthy Of be-
lief that he is in Mexico or on his way
there. He has not been seer about
town since last Saturday.
The investigation began to grow
warm last week and it was announced
that on Monday letters from a Medina,
N. Y, firm, which supplies %curbing,
would be introduced to show that a
"rake off" of 6 cents per linear foot
WAS demanded by "those in power in
Detroit before the stone would be al
lowed to come into the city. These let
ters were furnished by Contractor
George Currie, who has had consi7er-
able dealing with the public works de-
partment.
The knowledge that they would be
sprung is thought to have caused More
land to get out. 1t was also stated
that he would be on hand Monday with
his defense, but his attorney and the
council investigating committee waited
in vain for him. Neither did he ap-
pear Tuesday and his attorney, Allan
H. Frazer, representing attorney,
claimed to know nothing of his where
abouts. Frazer still says he has had no
"direct" word from Moreland, but will
not say whether or not he knows
where he is. Mrs. Moreland also re
fused to talk.
Tuesday the council deferred action
until Thursday night, when it was vot'
ed unanimously to GUST the commits
sioner.
The condition Of affairs brought to
light by the partial investigation has
made Prosecuting Attorney Hunt fee
justified in calling for a grand jury and
yesterday he had a conference with
each of the Wayne county circuit
judges and it is known, although moi
officially stated, that he was told the
petition would be granted.
"The petition will be laid before the
judges formally" said Mr.. Hunt after
the conference. at will be laid bel IRE
them sitting en- banc, l understand"
The contents of the petition will be
come known only when it is laid before
the grand jury. The prosecutor will
not state what information 1t Is to con
tain. He renews the emphasis which
he has frequently put upon the state
ment that it Is to be "a grand jury fol
Wayne county and the Moreland mat
ter is not the only one that may b.
taken up"
The fall of Moreland marks the sec
ond of the "rippers" to get out unde,
dishonorable circumstances, the frs
being Frank G. Andrews, who resigned
as police commissioner when the Cit,
Savings bank, of which he was vic
president, and which he wrecked, col
lapsed. He is now serving a 15-yea
term in Jackson prison.

able scaffold twelve feet long, consist
ing of two brackets and four inch
boards twelve feet long, would answer
for the whole barn. Brackets like that
shown can be taken down and moved
I'm a very short time and require no
mailing to the building. although nail
in the bottom helps a little in keeping
it plumb and steady. Whatever is
used to hold the bracket in place
should be given base enough-say ten
feet out from building-so there will
be no danger of its pushing away. The
bracket should extend about eighteen
or twenty inches above the scaffold
next the building. SO it can be thrust
up under the roof. and the bottom OF
the prop should be on solid ground and
securely held from slipping by stake
outside. A sixteen foot 2 by scan
Ting with a few bits of sound fencing
will make two brackets. and they can
be kept for a lifetime, storing them
between two tie girts In the upper part
of the barn. The props Of 2 by 4

length, according TO the height of the
caves where the scaffold is to be used

Cured to me that 1t was not neces-
sary to work in horizontal lines as in
shingling. but that l could work up
and down. This simplified the mat
ter at once, and then / could use
ladder. All that was wanted was
some way of hooking the ladder to the
ridge. Had the ladder been long
enough 1 could have boited on some
brackets, but il was three feet short,
so / made two pieces like the second
figure. bolting one to each side of the
ladder with three quarter-inch bolts,
the hooks or brackets having two bolts
each. With such an arrangement 1
could nail about two feet wide from
caves TO ridge and then, perched astride
the ridge, could move the ladder over
two feet and work down. A common
market basket with a stout wire hook
protruding from the bottom OF one
end made a good receptacle for what
shingles I needed each trip, hooking
the basket TO a rung of the ladder just
above me.
1 found the hemlock shingles after
ten years of service in pretty good con-
dition and likely. If could keep them
from blowing away. good for perhaps
seven or eight years more. When ]
used them, was told that they would
not last to exceed eleven years In
conclusion might say that the job oil
renailing should be done when the
shingles are soft and fiattened by q
long rain.

HINTS FOR RIGHT LIVING.

One man who has done more to teach the Ameri-
can people how to care for their bodies than almost
any other, is DR.. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N V,
the Author of the Common Sense Medical Ad-
wiser" He says: 1t is not the quantity of the
food eaten which produces strength and health for
some people can keep strong on very meagre
Diet, but it is how much food is absorbed and
assimilated by the blood and carried to nourish
every organ of the body. 1t is therefore, vitality
necessary for the body that the stomach be in
healthy state If disease of the stomach, or what is
called ustomach trouble" prevents proper nutrition
then the heart liver, lungs and kidneys do not get
proper food-they not fed on rich red blood and
in consequence, begin to show signs of distress.
q Outwardly these signs may be pimples and erup-
tons skin, pale face, sleepless nights, tired,
languid feelings, or, by reason of the nerves not
being fed pure blood, they become starved and
we receive aDaynfng in the pain we call neuralgia.
Rheumatism too, is blood disease. After years
of practice and study DR. Pierce found that one of
his prescriptions made from the extracts of several
plants invariably produced tonic effect upon the
system. 1t helped the process of absorption OF the
healthy elements in the food and increased the red
corpuscles of the blood, as well eliminated the
poisons from the system. This Alternative Extract
he named uDr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery"
medicine made entirely of botanical extracts
and which does not contain alcohol. Some blood
medicines do, and when alcohol touches the little
red blood corpuscles they begin to shrink and are
reduced to broken fragments and shapeless masses.
