JUST ONE HOUSE IN
NEW ELECTION
DISTRICT
TWO OTHERS ARE ONLY HALF
BLOCK LONG-ODD SITUATION
ARISES AS RESULT OF ANNEX
ALTON OF TERRITORY.

| An election district with but one
house within Its boundaries is the ex
pensive addition that the city of De
troit secured by the annexation OF [
portion of Greenfield township to ths
city.
Two other election precincts. each
a half block In width and a few blocks
long are other curiosities which the
election commission will have to han
die at the coming registration and
election.
These curio precincts will endure
along with the Ninth precinct Of the
Seventh ward. which contains but
seven voters, until a new redistrict
law can be passed through the legis-
lature.
Necessity for the creation OF new
precincts was brought to the atten.
ton Of the ordinance committee OF
the council In its session Wednesday
morning. II was then learned that
a bunch OF fragmentary precincts will
have to be created.
The reason of this lies In the fact
Sixth and Seventh congressional dis
tricts. These slices added to wards
cannot be AIDED TO other precincts
because OF this fact, 1t being impos-
sible for one election board to serve
in two congressional districts, or for
the election commission to send two
sets of ballots to a precinct.
Thus the slice added to the upper
end OF the Eighth ward and contain
ing only one house, Is a separate
district until the legislature takes 1t
out Of the Sixth district and adds II
to the First. Similarly with the bits
OF Hamtramck added to the Fifth
and Seventh wards, and the chunk OF
Fairview which has become part OF
the Seventeenth ward. all OF which
are In the Seventh district.
Some time ago the boundary lines
between the Tenth and Twelfth wards
were Strengthened out. AS the Twelfth
ward Is In the Sixth district and the
Tenth ward Is In the First, this
makes II necessary To create new cleo
ton districts in the fractions added
to the Tenth ward. One OF these Is
a half block wide and runs north OF
Michigan-ave. for some distance.
In the tiny precinct OF the Seventh
ward, In the last election, the seven
voters formed a board of three regis
trars, three inspectors and a door
keeper, the two clerks being neces'
sarily missing, cast their votes and
adjourned.
In the meantime, the ordinance com
mittee is being urged to take some &C
ton to relieve voters In some pre-
cincts which have grown too large
The Ninth precinct of the Fourth ward
is one OF these. and the adjoining pre-
cinct OF the Sixth ward another. the
population having grown greatly since
last election. Some Fourth and Sixth
ward voters will have to walk a mile
or more, and ride two miles by street
car to be able to vote at the pre-
cinct booths which are, now located
near the boulevard.

NERvY THIEF LO0TS
TWO HOUSES;
Gets s142
LIGHTS GAS IN ONE HOME TO
AID IN SEARCH FOR BOOTY
FRIGHTENED AWAY FROM
THIRD RESIDENCE er DOG.

A burglar not lacking In nerve
made haul OF $142 and a gold watch
In the residences OF Charles Danto. a
well.known grocer and fish dealer.
and Adolph Pollarsek. at Nos. 224 and
22s Adamsave. east, respectively,
Tuesday night. In each instance en-
trance was gained by removing
screens from lower windows.
In entering the Pollarsek home the
burglar selected the window OF bed
room occupied by three small chill
dren. who slept on while he ransack-
ed the clothes hanging in a closet on
the sleeping apartment. securins $40,
contained In two purses. Then he en-
tered the sitting room. lit the gas and
extracted $50 from a pair OF trousers
belonging to Mr.. Pollarsek, and which
he had left on a couch. The intruder
then adjourned to the Danto resi-
dence, next door, and the family did
not know Of his visit until the mem
bers awoke, Wednesday morning, and
found the gas burning.
In the Danto home. Mr.. Burglar had
recourse to matches instead OF gas
light, for dozens Of burned matches
were found scattered about the floor
after his visit. They served his pur-
pose admirably, however. He was
even more successful here than In the
Pollarsek residence. getting away
with $50 from three purses, extracted
from as many pockets. a gold watch
belonging to BENJAMIN Danto, a son
of Charles Danto, and 81 belonging
to Alex. Levinson, a boarder.
The thief threw the purses away
after emptying them. One was found
on the kitchen floor, another on the
steps OF the house and a third on q
windowsill outside. cheap silver
watch belonging to Charles Danto was
also taken from his trousers. but was
found on the back steps along with
the purse, and to II was attached
fob that had been removed from the
gold watch belonging to Benz. Danto.
The thief overlooked a diamond
brooch and a $50 gold bracelet, set
with diamonds, belonging to Miss Lii
liam Danto. The brooch was attach
ed to a dress within easy reach. but
the intruder was evidently In search
of money and paid no attention to
feminine apparel.
Both Mr.. Pollarsek, who manages
saloon. and Mr.. Danto are In the hab-
1t of carrying money home with them
from their places Of business and the
latter believes that the thief was some
person familiar with this fact. There
Is no other clue to his identity.
The residence of Henry Latulip, No.
220 Adamsave. east, was also entered.
presumably by the same man, but he
was frightened away by the barking
OF the family watchdog before he Sc
cured anything Of value.
1t was reported In the neighborhood
that q rooming house In the neigh
borhood was also visited and that $40
In cash was extracted from the room
ers' trousers. The landlady, however,
cenies that the house was entered.
