who made the appraisal of the physi-
cal property of the Detroit United
railway for the committee of fifty, has
been retained by the city of Ed
monitor, Alberta, TO draw up a plan
for the future traction development
OF that city and the surrounding coun-
Try. Some time ago the mayor OF
Edmonton and another official OF that
city visited Detroit and requested Bar
croft TO draft a sketch of a traction
plan. He did 50 and his employment
for more detailed work followed.
The Edmonton street railway sys-
tenn is publicly owned. as are also
the interurban roads running out into
the country for distance of 80 miles.
The municipal system also takes In
the lines operated In the city OF
Strathcona.
In some respects the Edmonton
lines are very like those OF the De-
troit United railway in that they con-
meet a large town with smaller ones.
The plan to be drawn up will be for
the purpose of laying out a scheme
of development OF the system for the
next two decades, not only with re-
gard TO passengers but also to freight
and express business. A number OF
new radial lines are projected and the

ENUMERATORs WORK RAPIDLY
Census In Some Districts viii Be
Completed Within Week.

So rapidly is the work OF the fed
cral census going on in Detroit that
some districts may be completed
within the week. One enumeration
has informed Supervisor o, r. Leon
ard that he expects to have all the
people in his district counted by
Wednesday night. Others report thac

II is. naturally, TO the advantage OF
the enumerators to work as rapidly
as possible. since they are paid by the
number of names Of persons enumer-
ated In their districts
I'VE are having hardly any trouble

of the press In informing people OF
the nature of the census work and the
methods to be pursued has prevented
much of the friction that might have
developed"

It's good thing that the girls

Denton" said Mr.. Passage, who shares
the feeling OF the De Spelder family

citizens OF Greenville shared. that
young Denton was TO marry Bertha.
Passage says He had been guest
In the De Spelder home, many times
He was looked upon as Bertha 3

riage.
A year ago, according TO Passage,
preparations were made for the mar
riage, but Denton explained that his
affairs were not In shape so that he
could support wife. The De Spelders,
being wealthy, offered to establish the
young couple In a home. and give
them a start.
Miss De Spelder informed her par

YOUNG BEST HERE;

CESS That He's Anxious To Tell
His Story.
Police Pay No Attention To Case and
Will Not Arrest Youth Unless New
Developments Warrant It.

Al thur j. Best, the youthful husband
OF Alice Best. whose body was taken
from the Detroit river Sunday. and
who was formerly detained on sus-
picion in connection with her death.
Is in Detroit. That the authorities
here have no intention of placing
Best under arrest again is evident
from the statement OF Capt Melon
nell, who declares that he knows
where Best is and could get him II he
wanted him.
Best came to Detroit early Tuesday
morning. He was accompanied by
his father, who later went TO the office
CT Philip A. McHuCh, young Best's at
torney.
Arthur Best had made known his
wishes in regard to the disposition CT
his wife's body. He declared that no
would like to have her buried in Com
Der, and said he was willing TO de-
fray all The expenses. IL was feared
there would be a clash between
the Best family and the Frankfurths,
Mrs. Best's brothers, but they did not
come together.
Arthur Best's father had q confer
ence with Coroner Burgess early Tues
day morning. The coroner advised
him that 1t would be best for the son
TO come forward and tell all he knew
In connection with the case. The
father declared the son innocent or
any crime, and was even anxious ID
appear at the inquest and tell all that
he knew He will be given the oppoc.
Itunity. The father visited Geist
Bros morgue to view the body. He
wanted to make certain of the identi-
ficatlon, but when he arrived there the
body had already been shipped to
Comber. Young Best will attend the
funeral In Comber, Wednesday, and
then return to Detroit for the inquest,
which will probably be held next
week.
The police are paying no attention
10 the case. Should the inquest de-
velop anything. which is considered
unlikely, they my investigate again.
