into a life of shame.
The police received a telegram
from Mr.. Buffun in Seattle yester-
day evening. Mrs. Erb could go to

special Correspondence to The Press

DETROIT, Mich, April 26.-De-
troit is one of the few cities in the
country where the saloon is a fac
tor in the schools, where saloon
keepers and bartenders sit on the
board of education.
1t is also the only city in the
country where the women have
taken advantage of their nominal
power to vote in school elections.
Those two facts are to be men,
toned together.
Detroit has just finished one of
the most exciting elections in it's
history. The saloon versus the
school furnished the issue. The
Detroit women furnished the ex-
citement. The result was a VIC
tory for them. They drove eight
of eleven machine board members
into retirement.
Their striking victory has given
the women of Detroit new ambi-
tions. Already in the women S
clubs and church societies is the
talk. of a war against the saloon
itself-to drive it out of Wayne
co. In trying to run the schools,
the saloon has OVer-reached itself

skies were getting dark. Clouds
were gathering, big, black, ugly
ones. In the west came a dim
rumble of thunder.
And Joe, like many little boys
and some larger ones, was afraid
of thunder. He huddled beside
the big, rough chimney for COM
fort.
Meanwhile at the Cohen house
three blocks away, there was ex-
element and anxiety. Father
Cohen had brought his family
home to find his baby gone. He
had searched through the tene.
ment and the neighborhood. No one
had seen little Joe. What is one
more baby in New York?
At the nearest police station he
told his story with trembling
voice. The desk sergeant made
the usual conventional inquiries
without much interest.
AS the father started home, rain
drops, small at first, began to pat
ter down. With cold fear, he
prayed silently as he walked to the
good God to be careful of his little
boy.
What were the feelings Of little
Joe Cohen on his prison roof after
that, only Joe knows. And he
can't ever tell. Little Joe is dead.
The cold rain beat down in tor
rents on it's little prisoner, the
worst rainstorm of New York's
storm spring. Night came on and
shed no pity on the ragged little
boy, soaked through, crushed, ter
ror-stricken, helpless.

A janitor Of a neighboring apart
ment noticed a little white bundle
on the roof the next morning, but
he was busy, and as he told the
coroner-it wasn't his child. He
did tell one of the women In that
tenement but she was just going
out, and told another woman, who
went so far as to send her little
8 year old boy up to investigate.
But the s year old couldn't see
anything from the door, and no one
responded when he called, and he
wasn't going on there on the roof
with all that rain coming down for
nothing.
So little Joe Cohen, the baby
prisoner, remained on the roof till
late Monday afternoon-32 hours
after he had stepped so happily
out there. He was dead, Of course.

edge which he could almost see
over.
He wasn't scared at all, was Joe.
Up overhead was the sky where
God and the angels were watching
him. His mother, the good Rebecca,
had told him about it often. 1t
wasn't for an hour or so that he
did get frightened. Then he was
very much frightened.
The door to the steps wouldn't
open. He could just barely reach
the knob. He couldn't turn it. He
pounded on the door and kicked it
till his little fingers and toes hurt
and bled. He tried to put his little
fingers in the crack of the door
and pull, but it only hurt more, and
didn't help any.
Joe began to cry. first just little
broken sobs, then in loud terrified
walls that reaches beyond the roof
to the houses around.
But no help came. Those dingy

sands of babies. Some of them
are crying all the time. What was
one more in so many? No one lis

boy on the roof, who was too
ragged to go to church, was all

1t has drawn the fire of body OF
people who have just learned their

One of the stock arguments
against woman suffrage has been
that women did not use the ballot
when they had it. The school
elections was the conspicuous
proof of this. This has been true
in Detroit-until this year,
For Detroit women didn't play
at politics this year They got lists
of all voters. They formed organ

up the lists and saw every woman

the polls. They secured autos and
other vehicles to bring voters to
the polling places. They swung a
powerful influence on their hus-
bands and men relatives.
In other words, they played pol

Lost His Ten Dollars Owing to Baseball Conversation That Was Being Held on the Side walk Below Him

For a man 10 make a bet that he can do a certain thing, and then lose the wager because hasn't the nerve to try. is rather hard lines, but for a fellow to back his judgment of a proposition, and have the laws of gravitation throw him down and lose his money for him, is tough indeed.
 However, that is just what happen ed to Felix Finley, the other day. Some time ago readers of the Review will remember seeing an account Of wager that Felix made with Mat Dil- Ion. the former betting that he could leap from the roof of the Shattuck building with an umbrella in his hands and alight in the street unhurt.
 The wager was made and yesterday Finley attempted to carry out his part of the proposition With the um- brella in hand he mounted to the roof of the Shattuck building. and with a last parting smile at Dillon, who had followed he leaped off the endge of the roof. the umbrella grasped firmly in his two strong hands.

Finley stepped to the edge of the roof again, and made the second attempt. but with the same unsatis- factory result. for no sooner did he make the leap than he started towards | the blue, blue sky again.
 When he was landed on the roof again by the overworked Dillon, Fin ley started for the sidewalk below determined to find some reason for the strange freak of nature.
