Brechlin Sorry He
 Didn't Beat Wife's
 Affinity a Bit More

Adolph Brechlin, who found Henry Nyberg of Laurel Court, an employe of the American & British Manufac- turing Co.,. walking with his wife, last night, was fined $5 for the beating given to the wife's alleged affinity. Nyberg, who was charged with a breach of the peace, was fined $5 and costs. Nyberg is 25 pounds heavier than Brechlin. But despite the fact that the former had cut over his right eye which required four stitches to close, Brechlin, after the party left the court room, threw out his chest and remarked that he was sorry he hadn't given Nyberg a good beating. Two years ago Brechlin had Nyberg arrested for bothering his wife. Last night Mrs. Brechlin wenthome and got money with which she bailed her hus- band, but she left the man with whom she had been strolling in durance.

MISS FLEMING RETURNS
 TO POLI'S NEXT WEEK

After a weeks rest from her arduous duties, Miss Alice Fleming, Polls pop ular leading woman, returns next week in the leading role of the most successful remedy of today, 'Nhrs. Temples Telegram" Because of the intense nervous strain which the tall ented young acress has been under during the first four weeks of stock, and in anticipation of still harder work during the coming summer months, it was deemed imperative that Miss Fleming take much needed respite this week. Among some of the heav- fer productions which the young ac- tress will be called upon to lead are
 Zaza' and Leah Kleshna," both re- quiring an immense amount of prep aration.
 Miss F1eming's friends who are le- zion, will be glad to welcome the pop ular actress back next week in her role of Mrs. Jack Temple, which. is said to be one of her best presenta- tlons. Miss Fleming will have ample opportunity in this play to display her unusual talents The play is said to be the most successful comedy ever written and to furnish a laugh each minute. Mrs. Temples Telegram" will be given at Polls next week as originally produced at the Madison Square theatre where it enjoyed the unprecedented run of a solid year.
 The story of the piece is as full of mirth as nut is of meat. There is never a dull moment from curtain to curtain. Mrs. Temples Telegram" should prove one of the crowning achievements of the Poli stock com pany this, season.

Holyoke, June 19-If Uncle Jeeme
 6Rourke could only teach his hirelings
 to field as well as they can wield the
 bludgeon, they would be resting in a
 much better position on the percentage
 ladder than they are at present occu-
 pying. This fact was brought home to
 the veteran Orator for the umpty-
 seventh time this season here yester- day afternoon, when his Bridgeport
 binslites outbatted Holyoke's troupe of heavy hitters, only to throw away the
 tilt on a bundle of hobbies. which were
 nicely punched for the most part and spoiled whatever was gained by their
 stickwork- The net result of their mistakes mixed with some choice home clouts was a to score
 ' The hitting honors went to Ladd and Perkins with over-the-wan wallops,
 I.add's coming with two on and Per iixins' with one runner ahead of him. Quite as prominent were Hit and Mo A1oon with three singles each
 Three innings were long enough to prove that Bill McCabe hadn't any thing in the slant line to bother the Orators. and Syfert was called to sue ceed him.
 Charlie Behrendt, the German Oak, who twirled for Bridgeport. released
 by New Haven a few days ago, again showed that he could not field his po- ssition, putting himself in bad with three errors. while his catcher helped him along with two more Hilt, who was shifted to third with Miller going to short was just as unreliable at his new berth, erring twice, while even ola Hi Ladd got Q black mark Hilt ketarted his error misunderstanding in the first, when he heaved poorly to first, but a double play stopped McCormack at the plate in this inning.
 It was in the second that Bridgeport went ballooning for fair Ruen sin gled and when Baker bunted, Behrendt hurled to center field trying to stop Ruell at second HI Iadd let the ball bekfp past him and Baker followed Ruell all the way home With two out Mo and took second on q passed ball, SCOT ang when Mccormack hit to right, the throw home being dropped by Mo Aloon. Baker went all the way around in the fourth when Hit heaved his roller into right field, and McA1oon funr1ed the toss to the plate.
 Though two runs behind in the ninth, Bridgeport started on a rally that must have reminded Syfert very forci- hIy of the attack made on him in the same inning by the same sluggers a week ago, when he was driven from the box under .. fusilade of hits. To start with. only a spectacular stop by Baker prevented Stefnhauser, the first man up from getting a single Ban non then drew q pass. but Hit, for tunately, went out on strikes. Miller, however, hit for two bases scoring Baunon Pollard made a great bid for a sinxie that would have tied the game up. but Burke made a fine dash into short right center and cut off the swipe, putting the clamps on the con- test.

CLOSE TO BONDING LIMIT.
Detroit Must Go slowly In Matter Of
improvements.

Detroit must either increase her
bonding limit or curb any desire for
such improvements as new schools,
sewers and public buildings, which are
paid for by bonds. The city Is right
up to its> bonding limit now: in fact.
over that limit since the pledging OF
100000 of bonds for the new Cass
school. Cutting out the items OF $685.
900 for voting machines and 100000
for purchase of a garbage plant and
$4,000 for a west-side bath house,
none OF which Is likely to be issued in
the immediate future. the city has only
a bonding power OF $4,000.
BY the terms Of the new constitu-
ton, the city may increase the bond
ing limit by any amount up to per
cent at one time. The present bond
ing limit OF 2 per cent gives the city
a bonding power Of $7,196,39s, which
can be doubled II the public's desire
for a convention hall, new Belle Isle
bridge and new Museum Of Art is
strong enough.
II will require about four months TO
bring about charter amentment, SO
that. II this and other charter amend
ments suggested are taken up at once
by the new council, in January. the
election could not come before May.

ADMINISTRATION
CONFIDENT
Think Purchase Of Fifty" Report
Will Slip Through, But Absen-
tees May Cause Hitch.

Republican aldermen dropped into
Mayor Breitmeyer's office by ones and
twos Tuesday morning to assure the
mayor of their intention to support
Aid. Heineman in his motion to recon
slider the vote of last week by which
the resolution for the purchase OF the
committee of fifty's report was de-
feated. These aldermen all expressed
confidence that Heineman's motion
will carry Last week the mayors sup
porters were rather taken by surprise,
but this time they have canvassed the
situation more carefully and claim a
bare majority of the council. The abb
sence of one or two members might
alter the whole course Of the proceed
ing.
Even IL the report Is purchased now.
there Is little likelihood OF anything
being done for several weeks. as the
new council committees do not take
hold until after the middle of the
month.
The mayor is rathertchafing under
the accumulation of delays as he
wants to see something done In the
direction of a settlement. He is de-
termined to get the extensions OF lines
and also betterment OF cars as first
consideration, and to get these the
coming year would mean that some
thing be decided upon by the council
by next spring.
mo matter what else Is done. we
must get better cars on the three-cent
lines" says Mayor Breitmeyer. I'VE
do not even have to have a new agree
ment for that. am going to see what
can be done under the Detroit Railway
franchise to improve the cars OF the
Fourteenth, Sherman and other three
cent lines.
Even should revocable franchise
be granted on the other lines, we
would not wish to leave the three-cent
lines to bear their bad service longer

Woman's Good Cooking Big Factor In
Winning Election For Her Husband

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 2s.-Proof of
the sttSement that the way TO win n
mans heart is through his stomach
has been demonstrated by Mrs. Sam
uel Lewis Shank. wife of the mayor
elect OF indianapolis.
For 10 years Mrs. Shank had charge
OF the restaurant department in a
local department store, and because
or her skill as a cateress. she won the
hearts OF many county and city Of
hcials, as well as business men who
took MONDAY lunches at her place.
Sne mas also prepared many of the
banquets for lodges and other orgari-
cations.
When her husband announced his
acceptance OF the nomination Mrs.
Shank took advantage of her wide
acquaintance among influential men
to write personal letters to them
soliciting their vote for her husband.
The result Of the election has con-
vinced me more than ever that the
way to win a mans heart is through
his stomach" said the smiling wo-
man. my husband gives me all
credit. but that is too much. |
helped him, though"
She also admitted with a blush that
before her husband and herself were
married--about three years ago-that
no used to be a county official. and
that he also took his MONDAY lunch
cons at her lunchroom.

quet held by the Adscript club. which
