SUFFERING LAD s

DON'T TELL HER," WHISPERS
STEPHEN STADLER, AS HOS
PiTAL SURGEONS DRESS THE
WOUNDS MADE BY VICIOUS DOG

With the blood gushing from a
gaping wound In his forehead. Stephen
Stadler. lad of 10. living at No. 800
Twenty-ninth-st.. thought only OF his
mother, and pleaded with the sur
geons in ST. Mary's hospital not to let
her know of his condition.
Stephen was waiting around the
county building Monday morning for
J. Morris Fisher, parole agent. who
had promised to find work for him,
and while on the lawn was playing
with huge mastiff owned by Louis
LeMay, saloonkeeper. at Cadillac
square and Randolphst. Suddenly the
dog became enraged and sank it's
teeth into the boys forehead laying
bare the bone for three inches.
The boy was carried to St Mary's
hospital, where Mr.. LeMay gave or
ders that he should have the best OF
care. Surgeons believe the eye is un.
injured.
Young Stadler has been having hard
luck lately. Recently he was picked
up with other boys and sent to the
Lansing reform school, but he proved
his innocence and was released. Mr..
Fisher had taken him in hand TO get
him started right.

FINE FOR ALL CONVICTIONS IN
FUTuRE-soRRY 1T ISN'T $500,
! he SAYS.
Auto scorchers. beware!

Auto scorchers. beware!
Judge Connolly issued a formal
warning to violators Of the speed law
from the bench, Monday morning. de-
claring that they need expect no
mercy from him II found guilty. The
case OF w. j. Reid. contractor,
charged with speeding on the boule-
ward, between Woodward and Beau
bien, gave him his cue
IL take this opportunity Of serving
notice on owners and operators or
automobiles that so-far as this court
is concerned, violations of the speed
ordinance will meet with drastic treat
ment," he said.
1T is a remarkable thing that men
who have money enough TO own auto
mobiles have not sense enough to
operate them carefully. and with due
consideration for the rights Of others;
but II those men fail in their duty to
the public, want 1t distinctly under
stood that those who are found guilty
in this court will receive absolutely no
consideration.
THE maximum fine under the or
dinance is 500. and 1t will be imposed
in every case hereafter where the de-
PENDANT Is found guilty. My only re-
greet is that the punishment is not
more severe. 1t seems to me that the
common council might well consider
the propriety and wisdom OF making
the penalty $500 and attaching thereto
a Jail sentence, to be imposed In the
discretion OF the court. Some men who
own automobiles care nothing for a
fine and will continue in their reckless
violations OF the speed ordinance until
they receive a jail sentence.
THE situation with regard to auto
mobile scorching is becoming critical
la this city and unless the men en-
gagged In the operation of automobiles
exercise better judgment than they
have in the past, an aroused public
sentiment will demand the most strin.
gent measures against such violations.
But so far as | am concerned | want
to serve fair warning now that any
and every violation Of the speed ordin-
ance In this court will be punished by
the maximum penalty allowed by the
law"
Joe" Pingree, fined In the police
court about a week ago for scorching
on Woodward-ave., was before Judge
Connolly for speeding on the boule-
ward. He pleaded not guilty, but was
found guilty by the court. AS the
judges ultimhtum did not apply to
pending cases Joe" was let off with
suspended sentence and a warning TO
beware In the future.
Mr.. Reds case was held open.

by CouIson.
Now who sent you to Codd?" he
asked.
"Hibbler and Newberry."

Fails to Rattle Witness.
The defense says II has witnesses
TO prove that Annie's visit to Colds
Office was previous 10 the entrance OF
Hibbler on the scene and before she
knew Hibbler at all, which would dis
credit her statement that Hibbler and
Newberry sent her TO Codd. Mr..
Muffin was unable to rattle Annie on
these points, however.
| Annie again explained why she dis
pensed with Colds services as attor-
ney. saying that while she had paid
Codd the price he demanded on the
superstition that he would look after
her case himself. he sent his clerk. Mr..
| Goldman, to represent her. She denied
that the reason Codd withdrew as her
attorney was because she was charged
with being a disorderly woman.
Mr.. Muffin eagerly grasped every
opportunity that presented itself OF
popped into his head as the exafnina-
tion proceeded. to trap the witness into
some admission that would tend TO
discredit her testimony, but Annie
was wary He asked her IL she had
not testified In the Favor case that
she had marked down In a book her
various gifts to the detective.
Il did not say book" Annie re-
piled. II said | had marked them
down"
Muffin produced her testimony in
the Favor case. and read:
II marked them down In a book"
Il suppose the stenographer made
mistaken" he queried.

Then Annie explained that she re-
garded the sheet that had been intro
duced In evidence, showing her gifts
to Newberry and Favor, as her
