Much OF the old history OF Detroit

strip Letween Beaufait-ave. and the
eastern boulevard and running from
the river to Gratiot-ave. This prop
erty was long since divided into lots
and is owned by hundreds OF persons
at the present time.
The petition goes back to 1908, when
the farm was the property OF Francis
Paul Melchers and was known as the
North East Coast or Cote n. Z. Melch-
ers desired 10 make all the 80 resi-.
dents owners OF the property. on con-
sideration that he be paid u certain
amount each year. and board OF trus-
tees consisting OF Louis Beaufait, JOS
eph Scrredit st. Jean, Benoit Chapoton
and Charles aud Francis Rivard was
chosen TO administer the property. In
1898. two surviving trustees turned the
property over to Bishop Frederick

NEW YORK. Feb. avery fire
alarm In the Hotel Albany, Forty-first-
st. and Broadway. began changing at
3 o'clock this morning and at the
same moment the two hundred guests
In the hotel were ordered by the tele.
phones TO hurry to the office.
Almost Immediately, fire which had
started next door In the four-story
building at 1446 Broadway, spurted
up through the roof and when the
flames shot over against the brick
wall OF the hotel, some one in the
larger building yelled fire."
The chorus girls came from the nine
floors in swarms, screaming as they
came. Some carried dogs, all carried
bags which they said contained their
jewels.
The firemen made short work of the
blaze and the chorus girls with their
dogs and bags returned TO their rooms.

LABOR FEDERATION
FlAYS MAYORS
COMMITTEE
CALLS 1T RuMP PARLIAMENT
COMPOSED OF MEN WHO RIDE
IN AUTOMOBILEs-M AND
kEEFE ROASTED, TOO.

Two sensations were sprung In the
meeting OF the Detroit Federation of
Labor. Wednesday night. One OF
these was the passing OF resolution
denouncing Mayor Breitmeyer's com
mittee of so and ordering the Fedora
TONS executive. committee TO secure
TN injunction against the appropriation
Of $4,000 for the street railway inves-
tigation; the other was the adoption
of report calling for a grand jury
investigation of the state labor COM
missioner's office.
II was at the close OF the Fedora
ton meeting that the anti-Breitmeyer
resolutions were introduced by repre-
sentatives OF the Carpenters, headed
by John NJ. McGregoI, who was him
self a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for mayor. The resolutions
call the committee OF SO trump par
lament" and declare that Mayor
Breitmeyer has disregarded the con-
stitutional division OF power into
legislative, executive and judicial de-
partments by initiating legislation. He
Is said to have insulted the aldermen,
who directly represent the people. by
forming this committee, and the asser-
ton Is made that he would not now
be mayor had he announced this stand
before election. Following are the
excerpts:
The selection OF a rump parlia-
ment to frame up a franchise TO grant
special privileges to a corporation to
ctr off, ic
an insult to us as citizens and a
usurpation of power by our mayor
that is intolerable. Mayor Breitmeyer
has seen fit TO insult us by selecting "a
committee OF so private citizens from
the class OF those who travel In auto
mobiles.
HE, the mayor. Is more competent,
in his own estimation. to select our
law-making body than the majority Of
ell other citizens. When was Mayor
Breitmeyer appointed king?
1T Is an evidence OF unbounded gail
upon the part Of this committee ii is
Il tidal-wave toward kingcraft and tho
rule OF the dollar over the man. Such
gall was never before exhibited by
any agency OF the Detroit United rail
way"
Many delegates wanted delay. but a
majority finally secured the passage
OF the resolutions after a hot fight.
Delegates Knott and McGregor
were opposed by Sam T. Penna in re-
gard to the resolutions asking a grand
jury TO investigate the destruction Of
accident records OF the state labor do
partment covering the years from 1892
TO 1908. The resolutions state that
the destruction Of these records has
caused a great loss 10 labor inasmuch
as evidence for damage suits was de-
stroyed. Malcolm Mcleod and Daniel
J. Keefe were roasted for accepting
political Offices after being prominent
In the labor field.

On the fifth day Of January 1901

What was the honest value of these

And from the standpoint of integrity

Aside from the enhanced value due
to the building OF the town upon the

similar land even after eight years OF
development. that the value Of the raw
land, today, would not exceed $40 per
acre for the entire townsite.
Value Fixed at $1,000.
II is apparent that the government
had this value in mind in 1901. when
the secretary of the interior fixed the
value OF $50 per acre for the aggre

Muskogee. that was taken in various
