THEFT OF SUITCASE
INTERRUPTS HONEYMOON

An interrupted Honeymoon
would be an appropriate title for a
little drama In real life that was put
on In Detroit. Wednesday. Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Wittwer, newly wed,
were ON their way TO catch the 5
o'clock boat for Buffalo. They placed
their suit case on the rear platform
OF a Woodward-ave. car. and when
they got off at Jeffei son-ave. and
-Shelby.st the suit case had disap.
peared.
In the meantime passenger
standing on the rear platform had
seen a well-dressed man, gray-haired
car with the suit case at Jefferson
ave. The passenger followed and
soon met Police Sergt. Gus Dorm
brook, TO whom he related the inci-
dent Dornbrook. too, had noticed
the gray-haired man and was soon on
his trail The man was located in
Biddle's saloon, just draining "A shu.
per OF beer, and there was the suit
case on the floor beside him. He
could not describe what was In the
valise and was locked up. He was
registered as James Connors, aged
AZ, No. 10 Sibley-st. He says he is
a meter tester He denied stealing
the suit case. A man asked him to
carry 1t to the ferry dock, he said.
Shortly after Sergt. Dornbrok
reached police headquarters, Mr.. and
Mrs. Wittmer arrived, much agitat-
ed, and great was their relief when
they saw their suit case, with its con-
tents intact.

MUDDLED
ATTORNEYS WRANGLE FOR
HOURS, THEN DECIDE TO SUB
NIT INTRICATE LEGAL CUES
TON TO JUDGE SWAN.

Judge Swan will be called upon
Monday To pass upon a number OF
intricate legal questions involved in
the Cameron Currie Il Co., bankrupt
ey case. After two long sessions of
argument before Referee Davock, +.
b. Stevens. the attorney for the trus-
tee was unable to reach. any agree
ment with the attorneys for various
creditors, and the entire matter was
passed up from the referee to the
judge.
All the attorneys agreed that the
case against Hayden, Stone q Co. in
the state court should be carried on
by Trustee Fred q. Austin, but there
harmony ended. Samuel b. Douglas
insisted that. while the case against
the Boston firm might be terminated
before Judge Mandell, the claims OF
preference or title to stocks raised by
intervening petitioners must be tried
out in the bankruptcy court.
Other attorneys held otherwise, say
Ing that the claims of the customers
of the brokerage firm could all be
tried out In the state court, and the
matter then brought back to the bank
ruptcy court for the division OF the
assets among the general creditors.
My view differs from the view Of
other attorneys because they repre-
sent special creditors while, In this
instance, | represent the general
creditors" said Stevens.
Immediately number of attorneys
took issue with him on this, F. H.
Garfield declaring that the proceed
ing taken by Stevens was unprece-
dented and without justice.
The question as to whether the
$4,000 balance secured from the
sale of stocks held as security by
Hayden, Stone Il Co. shall be trans
TERED from Austin as receiver In the
state court TO Austin as trustee in the
bankruptcy court, under the condi-
lions imposed by the state court, was
holly debated and finally left open for
Judge Swans decision.
Attorney Stevens made something
OF sensation when he declared that.
In the state court proceedings, Trus-
tee Austin may make use Of the bank
ruptcy laws and establish the insol-
vency of Cameron Currie & Co. for
a period of four months before their
failure. This would throw Hayden,
Stone & Co. and other brokers' with
whom they dealt into the list of gen.
eral creditors and enable the trustee
to sue for all collateral securities or
the proceeds thereof, which are held
by these other brokers, adding those
assets to the general fund.

Mayor Thompson and Philip Brett

are holding back In their campaigns
until after the baseball excitement is
over.
Breitmeyer corrected one current
error as TO his views when he said:
Il am not making any promises as

will be an honest and efficient admins
tration. We all want three-cent fares.
am not promising. l simply say TO
you that, II any man as mayor can
get three-cent fares, Breitmeyer can
do It,"
This was particularly apropos as the
mayor Is making his campaign largely
en- the Issue that Breitmeyer Is not
committed to three-cent fares. In Nc
, Conville's saloon and bowling alley on
Franklin-st.. the mayor took Brett
meyer to task for criticizing the three
cent lines as having old cars and
tracks and saying that the people did
not ride on the low fare lines TO save
money. This line Of talk was char
acterized by Thompson as a reflection
upon the memory OF HAGEN s. Pingree.
The mayor also paid his compliments
| to the common council saying thai he
could have had harmony II he had al
lowed himself to be ridden over by
the aldermen. The latter had put
hurdles in his way and tried to spike
everything he set out to accomplish.
The mayor spoke In four meetings.
explaining his stand In opposition to
Pingree on the holding company
scheme OF 1899 as due to a belief tina.
the price asked for the lines was too
much and to the fear that 50-year
franchise plot was hidden underneath.
Breitmeyer received many promises
Of Polish support in meeting at No.
SIS Harper-ave. Speakers told the
Poles present that they had always
supported the Democratic party ana
got nothing In return.
In the tent meeting on Military-ave.,
near Michigan-ave.. John Bell told the
assemblage how, Breitmeyer had gone
down into his pocket for $4,000 last
winter to furnish funds for the dig
ging of the new Belle Isle canal, which
furnished work for many impoverished
workingmen.
