Yesterdays close was stronger all
Ialong the line for the Elys. Today
should be still stronger, and higher.
Things are coming the way of the
stocks of the camp as well as the
properties, and it will be strange if
they do not benefit. There is a con-
siderable period between now and
holiday inactivity, if such a period
is had this year, during which there
is to be much doing if signs point
rightly. The next couple of weeks
should make up for a good deal of
dullness that has been experienced.
The time is excellent to buy Ely cop

RAISED ASSESSMENTS
Property Owners Do Not Take Kindly

Boosted.

Owners of property along Griswold-
ST. are getting ready for notable con-
test before the board of review in OPP
position to the big boost in assess
ments made by Assessor Doran and
approved by the other assessors. Inas-
much as the land valuations have been
increased more than 100 per cent In
some instances, there is reason for
the amazement with which the assess
ment has been received.
The increase In valuation of old
buildings will also call for much pro-
test. Frank w. Blair. president OF the
Union Trust Co, is not inclined 10 OBJ

along the street. although the Union
Trust corner came in for q big boost.

kick coming. especially as long rs the
rise is horizontal along the street." he
says. 1T puzzles me somewhat,
though. to understand just why this
building is worth $4,000 more this
year than IL was last.

the sale OF the Walker block as a basis

the sale value OF the Newberry build.

on suspicion, In connection with the
murder of Ludwig and Augusta Krue'

found yesterday beneath the floor OF
their country home after 1t was burn

1 o'clock this morning by Sheriff New

stoutly maintained his innocence.
The aged people were struck down
from behind. clean stab with a
butcher knife doing the work in both
cases. The character of the wounds
indicate that the knife was welded
by a man acquaintedswith the human
anatomy and with powe; to strike
where death would be sure and in

The old man was stabbed just once
the knife piercing the flesh below the
left shoulder blade and reaching the
heart. The old woman was stabbed
In almost exactly the same place.
A search OF Soboleski's tailor shoI

MAYOR DETERMINED ON
CROUL'S APPOINTMENT
Opposition Won't Change Executives
Mind in Matter Of Police
Comm ssionership.

Mayor Breitmeyer mas not weakened
in his intention to appoint Frank II.
CrCul police commissioner. on account
of the opposition from various quar-
tiers to that appointment. The latest
opposition is from some OF the union
labor leaders, who figure that Croul Is
friendly to the employing interests OF
the city.
"Mr. Croul will be police commits
sioner," declared the mayor again
Friday. He has always been a great
man for discipline and he will go into
that department to enforce discipline.
While a number OF the aldermen
visited the mayor to ask that Oscar B
Marx be appointed park commissioner
stead of M. p. Hurlbut, the city
fathers seem to be prepared for turn
down. During the conference the
mayor was told that the aldermen did
not wish to appear to be threatening
him, and that they would be satisfied
even IL their man Is not appointed
Marks friends are not done, they say
but will continue to put up fight ii
his behalf.

FERRY CO. LIKELY
TO HAVE ITS WAY
Aldermen Fear Pleasure Riding Will
Be Cut Off Unless Council Makes
Concessions Asked.

Since the council committee or or
dinances held hearing this week on
the amendments to the ferry ordin
ance asked by the Detroit, Bell Isle
& Windsor Ferry Co. information has
come to the members of the commit
tee which makes 1t probable that the
council will have to acquiesce in the
demand of the ferry company to do
away with FIVE cent, one?way tickets
to Belle Isle.
This. information is to the effect
that the ferry company, If ii is com
PEELED to operate under the terms oil
the old ordinance. will do away with
the pleasure-riding service on the
Belle Isle boats and will operate only
it's older and smaller craft on that
run, keeping the big new craft for the
Peache Island run.
1t is argued that the Belle Isle trade
could be taken care of with fewer
boats, sine large portion OF the pas
senger trade there, consists of per
sons who are riding for pleasure or
the boats and who do not get of al
the island. For the pleasure-riding on
the Peche Island run, the fare would
be % cents. It is said.
I'VE shall have to look the situa
ton over very carefully before max
ing decision" said Aid. Watson.
Il am in favor of granting the fer
~ company the changes desired,
says Aid. Owen.
The aldermen figure that a compro.
mise can be arranged by which the
present service will be kept up to
Belle Isle in return for doing away
with the five-cent tickets. This would
enable Detroiters to still enjoy pleas.
ure-rides for 10 cents and also make
the Peche island run a distinct one
with less frequent service than would
be the case IL the council refused to
compromise.
This theory as to the possibility OF
pleasure-riding being done away with
on the Belle Isle run seems to be con
firmed by the stubborn resistance oil
the ferry comany to proposals for a
change in the island dock. Park Com
missioner Hinchman tried to open ne
gotiatfons with view to having the
present dock removed and a new dock
constructed on the Canadian shore OF
the island near the aquarium The
ferry officials informed him that this
would cut into the Peche island run
too much and manifested no willing
ness to have the new dock built
Mayor Breitmeyer also favors hav.
ing the ferry dock removed to the
middle of the island for convenience
in distributing the people nearer the
aquarium, bathhouse, horticultural
building. zoo and athletic field and
this project may be carried out il an
agreement regarding fares is reached

ST|NGS SMITH
WITH TART NOTE
Mayor Tells Commissioner To Make
Good On Werbe Charges or Make
Officers Quit Talking.

After a long conference with Prose
cutor Van Zile and Police Commits
sioner Smith. Friday morning, Chief
of Detectives Mcdonnell decided thar
no conviction could be obtained
against Pawnbroker Barney Werbo
for having possession of the jewelry
stolen from Mrs. McLeans residence
and purchased by Werbe's son. David.
But the captain declared that an effort
would be made TO drive Werbe out OF
the pawnshop business in Detroit.
I'VE are going TO start in right
away, In the attemp. TO have Werbe' s
license revoked" said he.
While the conference was on as TO
Werbes fate, Mayor Breitmeyer was
writing rather tart letter to Police
Commissioner Smith in regard to the
case. The letter follows:
Hon. Fred w. Smith, Police Com.
missioner, Detroit, Mich:
My Dear COMMISSIONER note
by the daily papers that the po-
lice department has under sus-
picion as q possible depot for re-
ceivfng stolen property the pawn
shop and secondhand store OF
Barney Werbe. In fact, one OF
your officers was quoted yester
day as saying that he was looking
for some way OF closing up the
Werbe store and lawn shop
II you have evidence that this
place Is not being conducted in a
proper manner Or that stolen
goods have been handled by the
present proprietor. would be
glad II you would lay such evil
dence before me that | may re-
woke Mr.. Werbe's license. AS the
matter appears to me, the duty of
the department is plain. You
either have the evidence against
this man and he should rot be al
lowed to continue in business, or
you have not, in which case your
officers should not make charges
against him which they cannot
prove. I am, yours very truly,
