CHARGES AGAINST
LEWIS DISMISSED
Judge Phelan Jolts Game Warden
Who Seized Wild Ducks in Cold
Storage Plant

Judge Phelan has dismissed the
charge against Abraham and Herman
Levy OF having in their cold storage
plant more wild ducks than the law
permits. Last December the game
warden seized 1876 ducks In the Levy
Bros. plant. II developed In the hear
ing that the ducks were shot by Cana
dian hunters In Canadian waters and
were placed in the cold storage plant
for preservation. While the law says
that no one person may have In mis-
possession or In the possession OF
any one else more than rs ducks, the
court holds that II would be absurd
TO make this provision apply To the
owners Of cold storage plants who
hold the fowl for others. Judge Phe-
lan's decision In part follows:
ITO hold that a cold storage plant
cannot legally have In It's possession
for the purpose OF preservation more
than IS ducks at one time might be
good law. perhaps, IN Hades. where
a few cold storage plants would not
be amiss but here in Detroit. where 4;
is always cool, no. The respondents
are hereby discharged. and the prop
erty In question will be returned at
once TO the storage plant OF the above
named defendants

TYPEWRITER MAN Is sLEUTH.
!. M. Norton Traps "Phony" Check
Artist In Clever style.

l.. NJ. Norton, local agent for the
Royal Typewriter Co.. proved himself
a sleuth OF class. Friday afternoon.
when he cleverly trapped a suspicious
acting young man who represented
himself as an agent Of the company,
and wanted Norton to indorse $72
check for him.
The visitor was cordially treated by
Manager Norton until he preached the
check matter. He had given mis- name
as Frank Fisher. but the check was
made out to Frank c. Fearis. which
aroused Manager Norton's suspicious.
Instead Of disturbing his guest, how
ever, Norton invited him out 10 the
ball game.
There was some fast work at the
park. which held the strangers atten-
ton, but II wasn't any faster work
than was being done In the typewriter
office, where kilograms were crossing
TO the home office In New York.
The main Office wired that Fisher or
Fearis was not employed there. and
that they had received other reports
OF similar conduct In various other
cities.
When Norton and his guest returned
from the ball game. the guest found
policeman waiting for him.
In the central station he gave his
name as Frank Hoyt, % years OLD, no
home. Pawn tickets and blank cheeks
were found In his pockets. He also
had a quantity Of confederate bills.
