George Uhler, supervising inspector
general. accompanied by G. III. West
colt, supervising inspector OF the
eighth district. have arrived here to
assist in the investigation TO fix the
responsibility for the wreck OF the
Pere Marquette ferry No. Is.
These inspectors. before whom the

delegated to conduct the official In
vestigation must be laid. made an ex-
haustive supplementary investigation
on Monday for the purpose OF becom-
ing personally acquainted with all the
facts and conditions. They declared
the government would probe the af.
fair to the bottom.
Inspector Uhler said he was inclin-
ed to credit the theory that the final
cause of the sinking of No. Is was
the sudden bursting of the steel bulk

Them Useless Extravaganza.

Junkets OF city officials We're at
tackled as useless extravaganza by
Aid. Trevor, of the Seventeenth ward,
and Thompson, OF the Sixth, In a
meeting OF the council ways and
means committee. Tuesday morning,
when a proposition came up to APP
propriate $2f0 to pay the expenses
OF IA city officials to the meeting OF
the Michigan League OF Municipali-
ties In Lansing. Sept. 2i-23.
Controller Heineman declared that
the meeting OF the League OF Ameri-
can Municipalities in st. Paul last
month had put him in a position TO
save the city much more than his ex-
penses.
Other cities profit more than we
do, because we are much ahead OF
the ordinary American city in the way
of government machinery he SAID.
But we cannot afford TO miss these
conventions. AS for the Lansing
meeting, il the city does not care TO
pay my expenses, | shall go on my
own account
The committee recommended that
the city pay the expenses OF eight
officials-the mayor, corporation coun-
sci, clerk of the common council COM
mittees. controller. president OF the
common council and two aldermen.
The committee recommended the
transfer of sl1,157.37 from the Fair
view sidewalk account and Fairview
sewer account to pay the city's per-
centage of $4,000 Fairview bonds
falling due. No provision was made
for them by the board of estimates
because the matter was in the courts
at the time.

Sometimes you see one sitting care

in between his knees. He drops a

II the day Is warm he losses his
bucket to someone inside the huge
frame, and then, stretching himself
out along the beam for pull at his
pipe. he stares into the blue depth
OF the sky. His hand bangles lazily

Presently the air whistle blows and
the men spring to their riveters. The
heated bolts cut glowing arcs as they

HOPES TO REDUCE

This Is One Result Aimed At BY

Milk Exhibit.

Our purpose in arranging to give

II. Price, chief inspector for the board
of health, relative 10 the coming ex-
hibit referred TO In The Times, Mon
day. rs TO bring about conditions
which will reduce the infant mortality
and teach people how to care for milk
after II is delivered TO them. Now
adays many people allow bottles OF
milk to remain out on the doorstep
after the milkman leaves them. and
we know that lots OF people are care
less about caring for the milk when
IL is placed In the ice box. The milk
bottle is often placed among all sorts
OF things there.
1--WE know that the infant mortal
ity in Detroit has been reduced a
great deal during the past ten years.
but there IL still much room for i'm
provement. Statistics show that there
were 74S fewer deaths among infants
in Detroit In 1909, In proportion to
the population, than in 1900. That
goes to show that there has been
some Improvement In the care or food
given children. I think much OF the
improvement In due to the advance
which medical science has made in
those ten years. However, there Is
no doubt, too, that dairies are more
sanitary now than they used to be.
They are not yet perfect. however,
and 1t Ia perfection which we are try
ing to bring about.
I'VE hope that the milk exhibit Will
have the desired result. We have
sent out circulars to about 1900 farm
ers requesting them to send samples
OF milk and cream to the exhibition
and we confidently expect the major
ity Of them to respond. There are
to be three prizes, each one certifi-

reward of $40 from that concern.
Those who are near the winners Will
be given honorable mention. The
samples will be inspected and an
alyzed by Ivan c. Weld, of the dairy
division of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. and they VIII be
placed on exhibition in a conspicuous
place. where the public will have
every opportunity to view them. Each
bottle will be labeled. showing the
result OF the test.
"In addition to the exhibition, Mr..
Weld will give q lecture. Illustrated
with stereopticon pictures, on dairy
sanitation or some subject OF the

of the state agriculture department

The exhibits are to be In on Sept.
