NEWSPAPERS AGAIN
Man Read of Injury to Wife
And Robbery of Home,
Then tainted.
AWAITS FURTHER NEWS

New York, April 17.-W. H. Bartels,
OF Warren avenue, Chicago, and con-
nected with the board of trade there,
arrived on the French liner La Savoie
today and at quarantine picked up
morning newspaper in which he read
that his wife whom he had left in their
home in Paris, had been fata ;njur-
ed in an attack by burgla1 The
thieves stole. all her jewelry and Sc
curities worth 1000
Bartels staggered as the paper drop
ped from his hands and he would have
fallen to the deck had not several 9TH
err passengers near him, seeing him
turn deathly pale, supported him. He
went to the captain Of the ship and
sent wireless to the offices OF the
French cable company, but there were
no cablegrams awaiting him. He thinks
that his two daughters. Florence and
Lillian. who are in Paris with their
mother, probably have cabled him to
his Chicago address.
He said he was going Immediately to
Chicago and would await further news
from Paris.

ADDED WORK FOR
CITY ATTORNEY
New Laws Provide Additional
Duty Regarding Public
Improvements.
MUST EXAMINE TITLES
TO REAL ESTATE AND lNvEsTI.
GATE ABSTRACTS, CITY ENoi.
NEER's OFFICE TO BE SAVED
THIS WORK.
MUST EXAMINE TITLES

And there are to be added duties for
the city attorney. These will neces-
state him looking up abstracts and IT,
ties to real estate. The work now is
attended to by the city engineers Of
flee. Furthermore, it is probable that
the city attorney will be requested to
maintain office hours at the city build
ing. The office pays 81. 200 and it is
the sense OF present city officials that
the attorney should be at the building
at specified times each day for con-
sultation. One office holder stated
there never is day but what some
question of the law arises. that needs
an Interpretation. But delay has
to ensue and usually some inconven-
fence.
In defining the duties of the city at
torney. bill enacted by the recent leg
islature says: HE shall conduct all le-
gal proceedings authorized by this act,
and all appeals of every nature what
soever in which such city or the public
shall have an interest, shall make all
searches and examine all abstracts Of
title required in opening, widening or
changing any street, alley or public
place. or required in any public work
of any kind
1t will be seen from this that it be-
comes mandatory for the city attorney
to take quite burden from the eng:-
neer's office. Whenever public inn
provement is ordered, it becomes neces-
sary for some one to ascertain the
owners Of all property affected. This
work has fallen to the engineers Of
flee. It requires good deal of time
in searching over the records in the
county recorders and auditors offices
and often involved technical points
with which the office force is not ac-
quainted. If an attorney did the work
there would be less opportunity for err
ror. although but few have happened
during the last four years.

NoMINATIoN-LAT NOW RE-
GARpED AS MARTlNOALE MAN.

There is the biggest kind of night
brewing in the Fifteenth ward over
the nomination of Republican candl-
date for school inspector. DR.. Lee,
the present member of the board OF
education from that ward. is not 4
candidate but he will be factor
nevertheless.
Lee was elected as an independent
four years ago and voted against Mar
tindale, but later swung into line with
the majority of the board. Apparent
~, this did not win MIN the support
of the majority faction for they got
busy early this winter and brought out
Henry c. Wiedeman as an opposition
candidate Wiedeman was first tout
ed as an anti Martindale man and got
30 much support that DR.. Lee with

for Wiedeman, and this has reused

rival for the nomination. They pre-
dict that they can beat Wiedeman on
the Martindale issue.
Some tart speeches were made n
the Monday night Martindale
meetings in the Seventeenth ward. In
spectors Goldberg and Burton came
across the city TO tell the Seventeenth
warders why they should vote TO re-
turn the present inspector, Herman
Schultz.
'The school board machine is tn
most powerful political machine in the
state" declared Goldberg. Il call upon
you to vote against those who would
rule and ruin the educational system
of Detroit"
Inspector Burton compared the pres
ent cost OF running the schools witt
figures OF 10 years ago and charge
that the schools are being run extrava
gantly He declared that by overturn-
ing the present Martindale majority,
new and clean deal would be had.
Coroner John Bennett. himself a
former school inspector. told what he
knew OF the majority control. Schultz
made a speech in his own behalf
charging that a lot OF money is being
spent to beat him.
