FIRE LADD|Es
SEE LINGERIE
EARLY MORNING BLAZE DRIVES
WOMEN INTO STREET IN
NiGHTIES.

Not In several months have Detroit
firemen seen a more elaborate display
OF lingerie, daintily trimmed nighties
and pajamas than was afforded them
at l o'clock Wednesday morning when
they were summoned TO eXtinguish a
small blaze In the three-story room
ing house at No. 1lS Cass-st., managed
by Mr.. and Mrs. Harry A. Livingstone.
The fire wasn't much. but II frightened
10 persons so badly that. they took no
time to dress, and hurried out into the
frosty air. There they stood watching
the work OF the firemen, the women
budding about the fire engine in an
effort to keep warm, while pink toot-
sizes peekerl out from beneath lace
trimmed gowns.
The fire started in the hall OF the
third floor, and was caused. 1t is be
lieved. by an exploding lamp. Frank
Hough. bartender, whose room was
nearest the fire. had some trouble In
fighting his way through the flame and
smoke, but he escaped without injury.
The blaze was discovered by George
Gaeerdets, an actor. and his prompt
ness in turning in an alarm prevented
n serious fire. The flames burned a
small hole through the roof before be
ing extinguished. The loss is about
$500

WEST NOW MECCA
OF IMMIGRANTS
FROM EUROPE
DON'T REMAIN IN NEW YORK AS
70 r M ERLY REV. j. w.
JAQUEss TELLS OF VISIT TO
ELLIS ISLAND.

The Rev. w. T. Jaquess, pastor Of
the Trumbull-ave. Presbyterian
church. returned. Tuesday, from New
York, where he went last week TO at
tend a conference of the Home Mis-.
sion Board OF the Presbyterian church.
and also met with another committee
appointed by The general assembly TO
make some changes in the administra-
tive agencies of the church. The home
mission fund OF the Presbyterian
church amounts TO over a million dol
lars a year.
While in New York. Mr.. Jaquess
visited Ellis island. and says II is
noticeable that immigration is on the
increase again.
The day visited Ellis island ESQ
people landed there" said Mr.. Jaquess.
and they came mostly from eastern
and southern Europe. The majority
OF these were going west, and this
seems to be the tendency now. Not
60 many OF them stop in New York.
Through the efforts OF Mr.. Watchorn,
the commissioner OF Ellis island. It
has been arranged that the steamship
companies are not permitted to sell
tickets simply TO New York, when
the people are going farther west. The
tickets must be sold through to the
destination, thus avoiding the diff
Guilty OF landing 30 many In the great
metropolis and having them stay there
for some time before going on to the
places in which they had planned to
settle"
While in New York, Mr.. Jaquess
also visited the east side section OF
the city and says that there still re.
mains the big problem OF housing and
caring for the large foreign element.
In one small section he said there are
100000 Jews, and In another 100000
Italians In unusually small quarters
and not cared for as they should be.
Nearly all the denominations are
busy at some kind OF work in these
quarters" said Mr.. Jaquess. There
are rescue missions and church SER
vices. Our mission board will start
a mission on Fourteenth-ave., in what
was formerly a very strong Presbyter-
ian church. The congregation moved
away gradually, and their places were
taken by the foreign element, until
the church was closed. Now the work
will be revived among the foreigners.
and will be conducted at very great
expense"
Mr.. Jaquess Is the representative
from this district for the Home Mis-
sionary society. and has made several
trips TO New York, where he made a
special study OF the problems that con-
front foreigners in this country.

Prohibition In Politics.

Frank Foxcroft in the May Atlantic.
 Does the spread of anti-saloon senti- ment all over the country, and of state prohibition in the south, point to a con- siderable increase of the prohibition party vote in national politics? Naturally the party leaders hope for this result. and predict that the prohibition sentiment will grow till by its own momentum prohi- btion is established in the constitution of the United States. But they overlook the fact that there is a great difference in the appeal made to the average man by local or even by state prohibition and that made by national prohibition. The nearer a saloon gets to a voter, the easier it is to arouse him to active efforts for it's dis placement A canvass recently made of Boston residential districts in the interest of ward option disclosed men who them selves kept saloons in other parts of the city who were prepared to vote against saloons in the ward of their residence, for the sake of their children. In towns and cities in which the question of license or no-icense comes up under local op- tion laws, a large part of the no-license vote is cast by men who have no eX- treme temperance views and are not total abstainers But they perceive that the local saloon iniures neighboring property increases crime, tempts workingmen to indulgence makes the streets insecure, and menaces the growing boy. So they vote to be rid of It. but they would not vote for state prohibition. Still less would they vote with the prohibition party at A national election.
