ter their marriage her husband beat

The other prominent woman to OBJ

cause she wanted him to remain at
home and care for the baby. Another
quarrel she described was when Will

FIGHT IN
COUNCIL TONIGHT
Mayor Advises Settlement on Com
pany's Terms-Committee Would
Advertise for Other Service.

A bitter fight over the Belle Isle
ferry question is expected IN the com
mon council. Tuesday evening. Owing
TO the fact that no result was reached
at the Monday conference between the
common council ordinance committee
and the ferry company oficials. the
situation is put squarely up to the
council as to whether the city shall go
without ferry service to Belle Isle all
season.
Mayor Breitmeyer will send In a
message advocating a settlement on
the terms offered by the Detroit. Belle
Isle & Windsor Ferry Co. for the sea-
son. In opposition, the council COM
mittee will bring In a report advising
that the controller be directed to ad-
vertise for proposals for ferry service.
This would involve giving to new
company, II one appears, the right to
exclusive use Of the docks at the foot
of several streets, and Corporation
Counsel Hally is of the opinion that
such an exclusive permit could not be
given.
Aid. Ellis, who believes the ferry
comany's terms to be 'air. was OPP
posed to the stand taken by Aid. Wat
son, Grindley, Field. Walsh and Gar
vey. He may bring In minority re-
port backing up the mayors stand.
In this case, he will be supported by
Aid. Owen. Vernon. Rsinhardt and
others.
Negotiations were declared on AFTER
the Monday conference, which means
unless the committee or~the company
should back down. that no ferry boats
will run to Belle Isle for year. Ala.
Ellis has already called attention 10
the fact that no other passenger boats
adapted to the needs Of this service
are to be found on the lakes, even II q
new company were organized ana
tried TO buy vessels.
Not until the fight in the council Is
over will the ferry company announce
what 1t will do with its boats this
season. While Peche island Is not
ready for use as a park yet, 1t may be
utilized for terminus for pleasure
riding trips. and the company might
also use one of its Belle Isle boats on
the Bots Blanc run.
Walter E. Campbell, Robert 7. Gray
and John Avery were the representa-
lives of the ferry company In the con-
ference Monday, and their steadfast
determination to settle on no terms
except those at first laid down, with
a slight concession in regard to even
ing passengers from Belle Isle. made
the majority of the aldermanic COM
mittee very angry. A suggestion that
the ferry company run for time on
it's own terms without license from
the city was not given particular at
tention because the ferry officials did
not consider that the council had the
right to make such an offer, and also
because the company desires to set
lie the matter once and for all.
How sore the aldermen are Is shown
by the fact that they now desire to
OFFER a 1O-year franchise, with the use
of city docks in place Of the yearly
license given the D.. B. l. & w. Co..
which uses its own docks.

The Mystery Of Miss Motte." by
Caroline Atwater Mason. Miss Notes
mystery consisted chiefly In the fact
that she had taken a vow never to
marry when there was apparently no
reason whatever that she should not
marry and when manageable men
were seeking her hand. II finally turns
out that there Is some question about
her parentage. which. however. Is
later satisfactorily settled and the
course of true love runs smoothly at
the end. 1t is charming little mar
rative Miss Motto is the daintiest
and sweetest Of maidens. and ones
sympathios go out to her in her ef-
fort to keep her word under trying
circumstances. The character Of the
Rev. DR.. Warner Tiffany, the cynical
minister OF somewhat worldly con-
gregation, is exceedingly well drawn.
