ASSIGNS ALIMONY;
ILLEGAL, SAYS COURT

A decree of divorce granted in Buff
falo 10 years ago was the cause OF a
suit heard by Judge Mandell In the cir
cult court Tuesday morning. The real
plaintiff was Mrs. Brand, wife OF DR..
William J. Brand, now manager OF the
Honduras Banana Plantation Co., who
has an Office in the Campau building.
When the decree was granted, Mrs.
Brand was allowed permanent alimony
of $40 per month She alleges that her
husband has never paid her a cent.
she followed him to Detroit. consulted
a lawyer as to the best means of col
lecting the sum due, and the suit was
the result. Mrs. Brand was without
funds, and unable to furnish bond,
so she assigned the claim to her attor-
ney. William J. Griffith. and the suit
was brought In his name.
Before any evidence was heard, the
attorney for the husband produced
authority to show that the Michigan
law prohibits the assignment of ALI
mony for any purpose whatever, and
Judge Mandell directed a verdict for
the husband.

This force includes the scrub-wom.

men. The women get but $25 a month,
while the men get from $45 to $50. AS
the pay is SO small, the delay OF two
weeks in getting it has caused them
to feel want
1T is a pity that this has occurred,
said one official.
These poor women work for a
meager sum and have to pay four car

A tribute to Michigan exhibitors was
paid In the doing away with double

What the police regard as a serious

In the trial before Justice Stein,
Tuesday morning, IL developed that
the Messersmidt boy lacks just one
month OF being IL years DID, Under
the Juvenile act the police justice had
no right to try him and the lad was
of necessity, discharged, although, ac'
cording to Precinct Detectives Red
mond and Repp. he was the ringleader
OF the gang and put up the job. The
only thing left for the authorities Is
to prosecute him under the juvenile
act In the probate court, but even
then he cannot be punished by i'm.
prisonment, for the state reform
school does not admit boys between
the ages Of 16 and II years, as they
cannot be detained after the age OF

"A boy between those ages could
steal half the town and we couldn't
do thing to him. commented Detec-
tive Redmond. "The law is sadly
deficient when 1t comes to dealing
with boys who are just past 16. and
ought to be done to remedy
1t. But for the influence OF the Messer-
smidt boy this robbery might not have
occurred, yet he goes scott free while
the other boys are punished severely"
Both Demink and Ofnitzsh were
found guilty by the court and each
was sentenced to 80 days in the house
of correction, without the alternative
of a fine.
