A few days ago, Dilkes induced her
to indorse the stocks and with them
as collateral, he negotiated loan OF

NO STAR CHAMBER
SESSION FOR COURT
Judge Connolly Orders Negro Editor
To File Publicly ANY Evidence as
To Jury Fixing.

Attorney Francis H. Warren, Negro
editor of the Informer, the periodical
published in the interests OF the col
ored people OF Detroit, appeared In
Judge Connolly's court, Thursday
afternoon, in answer to the court
summons, requiring him to make good
on certain insinuations the court
charges him with making against off,
GERS and jurors OF his court. The
article in question appeared In a re-
cent issue OF the Informer and was
| under the. caption: Was the Jury
I Fixed7"
All the jurors who sat upon the
case, with which the article was con-
cerned, were In court. The session
was marked by a lively tilt between
Warren and Judge Connolly.
Warren evinced a decided unwilling
ness to make public charges against
any officers Of the court or any OF the
jurors, but he intimated that he would
be perfectly willing to file private
charges for Judge Connolly's benefit.
Il don't want TO do anything In this
court that is not public" declared the
court sharply. Il don't want any Off
Ger accused unless he is publicly &C.
cused. You say your article in the
1nformer made no charges against
anybody in particular. II did worse
than that. IL cast suspicion upon the
integrity Of these IL jurors and II
cast suspicion upon all the officers of
this court, one of whom has since been
honorably retired. The court itself Is
about the only person who was not
mt nj oil In 40
and you treated me very kindly, for
which | suppose l should thank you
heartily.
THE officers OF this court have all
told me that they want an investiga-
ton. and in justice to them, | intend
to have public one. In this case, a
suspicion upon all of them is more
damning than a charge against any
single one OF them.
Il do not propose 10 be led by any
body into secret sessions. Ii anybody
is under suspicion, want to know
who 1t Is and the public has a per-
feet right 10 know"
Warren replied that it may be that
the incidents referred TO were limo
cent. He said that II they were. he
did not want To expose the officers OF
the court to criminal proceedings. tie
said also that the courts attitude
would lead to the belief that the court
had right 10 act as censor OF pub
locations.
The court answered that he did not
assume the power Of censorship. but
that he did propose To uphold the dig
nifty OF his court and he said further
that all the officers OF his court have
slgnified that they will welcome pub
lie investigation,
In concluding the session. Judge
Connolly ordered Warren to hle with
the court any. information he may
have involving any OF the officers or
the Jurors In the court.
Warren Immediately moved that the
courts order be vacated The motion
was denied and Warren announced
that he would ask the supreme court
for a mandamus vacating the order
OF the court. The judge gave him one
week In which TO file his petition with
the supreme court for a mandamus.

WILL ATTEMPT To
FLY To CLEVELAND
II, D. Gould, Young Engineer, Builds
Aeroplane in Detroit-Has Made
Many Flights.

II. ID. Gould, young civil engineer
whose home is in Cleveland. is in De-
troit. endeavoring to interest aviation
enthusiasts in flight he proposes TO
make from Detroit to Cleveland, in
June. in monoplane of his own con-
struction. Mr.. Gould is Just 26 years
old, slight in build but with an abun-
dance Of ambition and courage.
Il have made many fights and am
no more afraid in the air than on the
earth" he told The Times, his boylsh
face and quiet, shrinking manner, be-
Icing the ''nervy" tone Of his words
Ralph tombstone was an intimate
friend Of mine-I knew him before he
went with the Wright Bros.-and his
death was as great a shock TO me as
If he had been my own brother Last
fall when Ralph was here at the state
fair, ! went up twice with him in one
afternoon.
THE first air machine | ever saw
was a Curtis biplane at the big fair
in st. Louis, and / became SO inter
ested that I determined to study aero.
plane construction. My friend, NJ. c.
Thomas, classmate In the Case
School of Applied Science. Cleveland,
of which we are both graduates, is
employed as designing engineer In the
Detroit Iron e. Steel Co., and that's
why | came to Detroit. Between us
we have built a monoplane, using the
shops OF the Murray Automatic Boiler
works, on Scotten-ave.. and just as
soon as the winter weather breaks We
will try It out. believe the machine
Is all right, and I expect it will have
a speed Of 80 miles an hour with $500
revolutions a minute. We have an al
tering plane which we believe has
solved the problem OF an immediate
rise into the air without the long run
on the ground now found necessary
in the Wright and Curtis machines.
THE plane Is set horizontal and not
curved as in other aeroplanes. II was
the breaking of a tip of a warped
plane that killed tombstone. With my
machine warped planes are unknown.
The horizontal plane cuts the air I'M
mediately and gives instant speed
which will permit the monoplane to
ascend directly from the ground. The
construction of the Wright and Curtis
machines calls for curved planes, and
to attain sufficient speed to ascend,
the long run on the ground first is
necessary. When | make my flight
from Detroit TO Cleveland, il will I've
a non stop flight. II ! fail the first
time, will keep at il until | sue
coed"
Mr.. Gould says he has no financial
backing or influential friends but just
faith in his own inventive ability and
a firm belief that his monoplane Will
do all he claims for 1t. The young
mans achievements in aeroplaning
have won for him the right to use
the word aviator after his name
conferred upon him by the United
States Aeronautical Reserve.

Will Cartoons words are appropri-
ate in the restitution OF Mrs. Emma
Denison. 20 years old, but smart an
clipper" who. with her husband,
Marion +. Denison. some years
younger, a sufferer from consumption,
is TO trudge her way to the Wayne
county poor house Immediately after
Christmas, according to present ar
rangements. The old lady and her
husband were to have made the
trudge before Christmas, but her
pleadings to be allowed to celebrate
the day in her own humble surround
ings were so strong and pathetic that
the sad pilgrimage was postponed.
The old people are without funds
to provide the necessaries OF life. but
Ensign Catherine Annach, of the Sal
walton Army, who has been caring
for them for some time. assured the
Associated Charities, the authorities
OF which have the case In hand, that
she would see 10 IL that the old
eouple are we'll provided for, includ
ing Christmas dinner, until the time
OF their starting for the poor house.
AS matter OF fact. Ensign Annach,
who has charge OF the outside relief
Of the Salvation Army, has been look.
ing after Mr. and Mrs. Denison for
some time, providing coal and food
for them. On Wednesday of this
week, when they were due to leave
their limited quarters OF two rooms
in the upper part OF the frame house
at No. 227 Second-ave., for the poor
house, she. in response to the old
lady's appeal for few days grace.
namely. the Christmas season, paid
thei1 rent for two weeks and provid-
ed coal and food for them.
When Ensign Annach, accompanied
by a Times reporter, visited the
couple In their rooms, Thursday
morning, Mrs. Denison threw her
arms about the ensign and expressed
heartfelt thanks for what the army
officer had done for her.
Il am so glad that We are to be
able to spend Christmas out of the
poor house." the old lady remarked
with a deep sigh. Our life is gloomy
enough, but 1t would seem so much
worse If We were in the poor house
on Christmas. We shall be happy
here together. even though We won't
have very much. 1t won't seem so
hard going TO the poor house after
Christmas. Yet the thought of go
ing at any time Is hard on those who
have once been in comfortable cir
cumstances. We had a nice home out
on Clippert-ave., up to few years
ago, when We lost it in trade for a
little farm. We wanted to go and
live on the farm. The property, we
understood. was free from incum-
brance, but we found out differently
afterward; there was a mortgage on
1t. Because of the mortgage we lost
all we had, about $1,000 That loss
was a terrible blow to us. for We had
worked hard, my husband and my
self, to get that little bit together.
After the loss of our horne and
money, my husband got sick and
could do no work. Things went from
bad to worse until we reached our
present destitute condition. We have
at all now-not even any fur
