RUTTER PROPOSES
CHECK FOR AUTOS
Introduces Ordinance To License
Chauffeurs and Another To Estab-
lish Low-Speed Areas.

AID. Rutter introduced two ordi-
nances IN the council. Tuesday night.
TO regulate automobiles. The first pro-
yides for licensing all drivers who are
not owners or proprietors of ma
chimes, and the second establishes two
districts within which a speed OF not
more than four miles per hour shall
be maintained during the day and
early evening.
II was Rutter's original intention Il
provide for the licensing OF all per
sons driving automobiles so that the
reckless or careless drivers might be
punished by having their licenses
taken away The state law prevents
such regulation. however. and SO the
city has power 10 license only the
hired drivers. A great many of the
joy-riders' whom Rutter wants 10
put out Of business, belong 10 this
class. however.
Chauiteurs must take an examination
as 10 their fitness 10 drive cars. must
be more than Is years Of age and pay
81 for a license and 90 cents per year
for renewal. Each shall have a mum.
Der which must be worn while driy-
ing Any chauffeur who operates an
automobile while under the influence
OF liquor or so as 10 endanger the
lives or safety OF the public or any
driver who attempts 10 escape after
causing injury or damage. shall be de-
prived OF his license. Another license
may be secured after 60 days. but, II
this too. is revoked, the driver can
not get another license at any future
time.
Every chauffeur must stop and give
his name and address when requested
10 do so by q police officer and must
produce his license when called upon
10 do so, under penalty OF fine. This
ordinance Is not 10 apply TO tourists.
Violation OF the provisions OF the or
dinance may be punished by a fine OF
500 OF prison sentence OF three
months.
The other Rutter ordinance limits
motor vehicles 10 a speed OF four mites
per hour IN the district lying between
and Third-ave. and bound
ed on the south by Jefferson-ave. and
the north by Elizabeth and Orchard.
SITS Another district Is established
for a block on each side OF Belle Isle
bridge approach. The low-speed hours
in the downtown section are from
a m. 10 e ST. a, b., and ih the bridge
district from a. n. 10 1890 p. n.
One clause or the ordinance orders
auto drivers TO have their machines
under control on approaching any in-
tersecting street. a speed OF four
miles an hour being pronounced rea-
sonable for intersecting streets where.
on there are street railway tracks
regulation provides that au-
shall not approach street
cars within 10 feet
Both ordinances were read twice,
ordered printed and referred 10 the
ordinance committee.

day morning, and the case will be
submitted at 1890
Mrs. Dillon came In for n severe
arraignment at the hands of Mr.. Geer.
He referred first TO her statement or
assets and liabilities as furnished 10
the old Detroit National bank.
THE statement" he said. was
false and fraudulent. People guilty OF
such acts OF deceit and wilful misrep'
resentation are unworthy OF credenco
in any court.
For this false statement Mr.. Dillon
claimed he was not responsible. that
his wife made il. Mrs. Dillon blamed
II on her employees. who. she said. had
deceived her. tell you a $4,000 mis-
take is not made accidentally. There
is something rotten In Denmark. You
can draw your own conclusions.
ION Feb 3, according To his own
testimony. Dillon was in the store. He
pulled down the blinds and turned IN
the electric lights There were no
matches in the store and no combus-
tihles there and yet in 20 minutes
after he left the place was on fire.

I iustment Of the fire less on a contin-
Gent basis He said that cases were
brought into court on such basis.
During the years that he had repre-
scented the Grand Trunk he said that
fully 80 per cent OF the cases against
that road were on a contingent basis
| OF so per cent.
Regarding the testimony OF Mrs.
Dillon that she did not place the ad-
iustment with Craig, Wright & Walk
cr he asked why she spent severa!
DAYS with them going over the stock.
He quoted from figures To show that
in one department Mrs. Dillon had
stuffed the inventory over $4,000, and
then ridiculed her testimony that this
was a mistake
"A woman as shrcwd as she is knew
what she was doing shouted Geer.

wife
Then referring TO the bank state
ment in which Mrs. Dillon had first
represented their liabilities at s3T 600.
when il was shown few days later
they really owed $4,000. he said:
Was that a mistake Would VIC
man with the grasp 81 business this
woman has make such mistake?
For shame"
Mr. Pound referred 10 the demand
OF Craig. White & Walker for $4,000
for adjusting the Dillon loss as the act
OF a Shylock. but the bitterest part CT
his Pronunciation he kept for Adolph
Fixel and George COrwin, the credit
men. These men he referred 10 as
mercantile pirates. "as gentlemanly
villains as ever cut throat or scut-

"Fixel and Corwin call themselves
