UNCLAIMED IN MORGUE

The body OF William Lyle, who on
Nov. 20 took his life by running
tube from the gas Jet to his bed, and
then covering his head with the
quilts, is still in the county morgue
unclaimed. Unless friends come for
ward soon and claim the remains they
will be consigned to a pauper's grave
or sent to a medical college.
Lyle lived I'm Shiawasse county be-
fore coming to Detroit, and was once
deputy sheriff. The coroner's Office
wrote TO the sheriff there TO learn
something OF Lytle's friends. but that
official replied that he could find no
one who would consent TO pay the
funeral expenses. IL has been learned
that Lyle has a wife and two children
living some place In Ohio. and a wife
from whom he was divorced Is now
living at No. 20 Montcalm-st. west.

p LICE FIND REvolvERS,
KNIVES AND DIRks IN DoMEN-
ico MEzzALo's ROOM.

Although they have nothing against
him as yet. the police are inclined to
look with some significance on the ar
rest by Patrolmen Tremonte and XIII
ney, late Tuesday afternoon. OF an
Italian giving his name as Domenico
Mezzalo. The officers. who have been
doing special work in the Italian quar-
ter. have been shadowing the man for
several days. When they entered sa-
loon at Russell and Congress-sts., Tues
day afternoon, to arrest him, Mezzalo
fed through the rear door. He was
captured after a short chase. Mezzalo
claimed to be a poor man and that
he had been out of work for some
time. When his room at No. APT Con-
gress-st. was searched. however, the
officers found $3.50 hidden In corner.
behind a stove. and further search
revealed a revolver. a box OF cart
ridges, three dirks. knife. six pairs
of new shoes, six suits of clothing. two
overcoats and other clothing. Mezzalo
had 81 in his pockets.
His arrest threw the Italian colony
into a state of excitement. and fellow
roomers Of Mezzalo, with fear plainly
written on their faces, protested To
know very little OF the man. Mezzalo
will be held pending a thorough inves-
tigation. The police suspect that he
may know something of recent al
tempts to extort money from italian
citizens.

TELLS WINDSOR FOLK
OF NIAGARA'S POWER

The possibilities OF cheap electric
power, for Windsor and nearby towns
from the Ontario government power
station in Niagara Falls was outlined
by Hon. Adam Beck. chairman OF the
hydro-electric power commission, to
an audience that filled Curry hall In
Windsor Tuesday evening. He pro-
posed that the municipality Of Wind
sor pay for the power line required to
supply the city and then sell the cleo
tricity to manufacturers and others.
He would not even say that the Juice"
might not be sold to Detroit firms, that
detail resting with the government.
The cost would range from $23.70
per horsepower for 10000 horsepow-
er to $3.50 per horsepower for only
5000 horsepower. These prices would
include a sufficient margin over oper-
alton cost to provide a sinking fund
that would pay for all the lines In 80
years, as well as pay interest on the
investment at per cent In the mean
time and maintain the lines In perfect
condition.
Mr.. Beck intimated that the Wind
sor-Detroit tunnel might be operated
with this power. but he declared that
the city must agree not to sell power
below cost for the sake Of booming
the town.

Mostly, the council undid things
Tuesday evening. 1t reconsidered the
vote for the opening OF Campbellave..
and. after a battle. that for the open
ing OF Hancock-ave. east from Elm
wood-ave.
The last two appointments that
Mayor Thompson will have a chance
to make were received. J. l.. Hudson
is named to succeed himself on the
board of trustees OF the Detroit Mus.
cum OF Art. Henry Spitzley was named:
to succeed himself on the building
commission. This latter appointment
really rests entirely with the council
as Mayor Thompson did not make the
appointment within Is days OF the
time that Mr.. Spitzley's former term
expired.
Many OF the aldermen objected to
Aid. Wieber's resolution that voting
machines be bought for every pre-
cinct In the city, saying that no voting
machine would be large enough for
the biennial fall primary. Aid. Nc
Cleflan suggested that municipal cleo.
lions be held In the spring. The reso.
luton was adopted.
Aid. Heineman introduced an ordi-
nance to do away with the art COM
mission and also one to punish auto
mobile owners If they use any warn
ing signal similar to those used by
the fire department.
That three-cent phaeton fares across
Belle Isle bridge are not particularly
lucrative was shown by the transfer
OF $1,451 to the phaeton fund from
other park department funds.

PRICE OF BUTTER SHOOTS
UP; EGGS HIGH, TOO

Butter Of all grades has risen IN
price, creamery butter leading the van.
Nevertheless. Detroit wholesalers and
commission men are unwilling to be-
lieve the stories that have come from
Chicago that the leading produce deal
ers have formed pool and cornered
the June butter supply. Butter Is now
about two cents pound higher Tor
all grades than It was at this time q
year ago.
Most of the Detroit dealers say that
the cause lies in the long dry spell
of the past summer. which made feed
high In price. The late hot spell which
damaged butter not held In storage OF
caused It to be sold off quickly Is also
blamed for the short supply OF the best
grades. They say that all the other
grades are plentiful.
The wholesale quotations on extra
creamery butter are 80 to 81 cents, al
though the finest grades may bring ~
high as 33 cents per pound. Farm
separator butter Is listed at 26 to u
cents, and dairy at 20 TO % cents.
Retail prices on eggs are also higher
than usual. Current receipts are whole
sailing at 20 cents per dozen, and
warehouse eggs at "a cents.
According to the produce merchants
the limited supply Is the thing that Is
bringing prices up. and the probable
ity is that the figures will go up In
stead OF down.

sides Of the strip. The officers OF the
Bachus company declare that the land
Is theirs and that they are prepared
to defend II to the utmost. They fear
that the tunnel construction will cut
them of from the railway. In which
event their business would be ruined.
They value their plant at $750.0O0. The
officers Of the lumber company refuse
to tell what they have done to STOP
work on the tunnel. but II is known
that they have sunk a large well In
the path OF the tunnel, and digging IL

Maj.-Gen. Frederick d. Grant. COM
handing the department Of the lakes,
United States army, arrived In the
city early Wednesday morning on a
three-day visit, arranged at this time
so that he could accept the invitation
of the Board Of Commerce to speak at
the luncheon Thursday noon In the
Hotel Cadillac.
Gen. Grant started out almost ts
soon az he reached the Cadillac this
morning on an inspection trip with
Col. Cornman, commandant at Fort
Wayne and chief defendant in the
recent court martial in which Gen.
Grant wasS presiding officer. Gen.
Grant made no reference to the court
martial. He seemed to be on the most
cordial terms with Col. Cornman, and
the official business which they hav I,
to do Wednesday. Thursday and Fri
day will throw them in contact most
OF the time.
Accompanying Gen. Grant Is his
aide, Capt. A. J. Boulby.
II came to fulfill my engagement
with the Board OF Commerce but ar
ranged an inspection trip at the same
time to order not to lose any time"
said Gen. Grant as he left the hotel
II am going down to look at the gov
eminent property near Brest which
the government has been holding for
army rife range purposes for some
time. l shall inspect the state rife
range during the afternoon. There is
suggestion that the government pay

the state range and have the use of
1t for the army practice. l do not
know whether either piece of property
Is just what We want or not. You
know the new long range rifles which
are In use in the army make it neces-
sary that rife range be much deep

II will spend part of Thursday in
specting Fort Wayne and finish up
my inspection on Friday"
Indications are that the luncheon

number Of acceptances have already
been received. 1t will be held In the
