REAL ESTATE DEALERS ENJOY
FROLIC IN THE COUNTRY
oambols at Orchard Lake Followed
by Swell Dinner In Auto Club
Convention Plans Settled.

Some 10 members of the Detroit
Real Estate board took advantage OF
the first real spring-like day since
March TO get in friendly touch with
the soil, which Is their stan OF life,
Thursday afternoon. A special car
took the party to Orchard Lake, where
the real estate men disembarked for
gambol on the athletic field OF the
Polish seminary. The young students
were treated to the unusual spectacle
OF staid and portly business men run
ming for dear life TO win a prize OF a
bag OF apples or a box of figs, and II
is a matter OF conjecture whether the
real estate men the students got
the more enjoyment out OF the little
outing.
Only one untoward incident marred
the pleasure OF the occasion. That
was when C.. NJ Burton stubbed his
toe while trying to beat Col. Kember-
ling In a handicap and came In violent
contact with mother earth. Aside from
the loss OF about two square inches or
cuticle from his cheek, he was not In
jured.
The ball game between teams cap
tanned by George T. Bader and c. ).
Vaughn went three innings and was
called because OF the lateness OF the
hour. with the score IL TO 4 In favor
OF Vaughn's team. II was decided to
award the prize 70 the team that
worked the hardest, and the argument
that ensued resulted in the prize, a
box OF cigars, going to one Of the pro-
fessors from the seminary, who acted
as umpire. Frank c. Nall, known in
the real estate league" as the rab-
Dit" enjoyed the proud distinction OF
being the only man In the game TO
break bat.
An excellent dinner In the Automo-
bile club, followed the field events.
At the business meeting which fol-
lowed, w. w. Hannah. president of the
National Association OF Real Estate
exchanges, stirred up considerable en-
thusiasm over the coming national
convention in Minneapolis and AZ OF

WIRE IN MOUTH MAKES
THE HIPPO SHED TEARS

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-or several
days gigantic tears coursed sorrow
fully down the leathery face of Pete,
the big hippopotamus of the Bronx zoo,
because Pete was in pain. He showed
this in many ways, and when not cry
ing looked mournfully about and re-
fused to eat his hay.
Something seemed to be worrying
Pete, and the harder DIR. w. Reid Blair
and the attending keepers tried to find
out the cause of the hippopotamus'
trouble the harder the animal wept at
his inability to tell his friends what
was the matter with him.
At first it was thought that Pete was
suffering from a toothache, but when
his teeth were examined they were
found to be in good condition. Seeing
that the keepers were trying their best
to discover the root of the trouble Pete
signified his desire to leave his cage
so that his friends would have more
room to work In.
When he was led out he opened his
mouth as wide as he could-about a
yard and a half across-and invited
the keepers to look inside. They did
so and were astonished to see imbed-
ded in the roof of Pete's mouth piece
of wire that had evidently come from a
bale of hay.
Ropes were fastened to Pete's jaws
to keep them open, then Keeper Dick
Richards stepped inside the huge cav
ern and fastened stick having hook
in the end of it to the wire. Several
men then seized the other end of the
stick and after pulling hard got the
wire out. Pete then wiped away his
tears and returned to his cage, where
he began Immediately to demolish a
ton of hay.

The Sign

When you put a sign on your
property it attracts more at
tention to itself than to the
house you desire to sell.
If the property is a residence
and your object is to convince
a prospective buyer of the Sc
lect character of the neighbor-
hood, a sign certainly would
not be good taste.
On some kinds of property,
such as vacant lot or a tum-
ble-down empty house near an
abandoned coal mine, a sign
would not detract from the
value of the land.
But it would not bring a
buyer out to see it. Something
else is required to let the buyer
know where your property is
located.

STRIKE LOST COLLIER
FROM NAVAL SHIP LIST
MarCeIIuS Erased with Names of
Three Other
Vessels

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-It requires
six weeks time to wipe the collier
Marcellus off the naval list, although
for that time she has been lying at the
bottom of the Atlantic, seventy miles
off Cape Hatteras. The ship was
rammed by an italian steamer.
The official order declaring the Mar
cellus defunct was issued by the navy
department today. Three other vessels
also went on the dead list today, the
Siren, which was a yacht purchased
for use in the Spanish-American war;
the Eagle, a small gunboat, and the
Inflated Bennington.
After spending several thousand dol
lars on the latter in the effort to re-
pair the damage caused by the ter
rible explosion which cost so many
lives at San Diego several years ago,
the department has concluded that
the ship cannot be repaired within q
rsonable cost. The three vessels will
be offered for sale.

ON BOARD u. S. BATTLEsHIP
KANSAS, AT SEA ON SOUTHERN
DRILL GROUNDS, Wednesday, by
wireless, via Portsmouth, Va, Sept. 22.
The Atlantic fleet, the pride of the
American navy, demonstrated today
that no mark was too small for it to
hit if it showed anywhere above the
horizon.
Eight of the sixteen big battleships,
forming the first squadron and headed
by Rear Admiral Schroeder's flagship,
the Connecticut, peppered four tar
gets, each one-fifth the size of an or
binary warship, at a range greater
than 10000 yards, or more than SIX
miles. The Delaware, one of the two
American uper-dreadnaughts cut
away her target at the first salvo.
The other ships of the fleet, includ-
ing the Delaware's sister ship, the
North Dakota; the Connecticut, the
Louisiana, the Kansas, the Michigan,
the New Hampshire and the South
Carolina, also found the range accur-
ately
The target floats were towed in
single file by one battleship which was
not shooting Some of the shells
dropped 500 feet astern and gave a
realistic aspect of battle.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. Pas the

THIEF FIGHTING MAID
BESTED BY POLICE

YONKERS, N. Y, Sept. 22.-To the
list of those luckless persons VINO
could not come back there may now
be added the name of Julia Marty,
model for all Yonkers housemalds.
Julia made her reputation as a COM
bination servant and substitute for a
burglar insurance policy just one year
ago. when she was employed by Mrs.
Regina Shipman in Glenwood avenue.
According to the tale she told at that
time and which has redounded to ner
credit ever since, she saw burglar
trying to enter the Shipman residence,
and with no other aid than was az
forded by an army revolver which she
discharged from an upper window she
drove him away. Since that valiant
feat Julia never has been without an
engagement. Housekeepers have cried
for her, feeling that with Julia In the
house a watch dog was surplusage.
1t was with the idea that when Julia
was not answering the bell she could
spend her time scouting for burglars
that Ms. T. F. Byrne hired her. Byrne
is the manager of an automobile sales
room and Julia had not been in the
Byrne service week before Mr.. and
Mrs. Byrne decided that there was no
automobile lamp in the establishment
quite so bright as the new maid.
Mrs. Byrne, who had been shopping,
came home to find that $S25 worth or
jewelry was missing, but that Julia
was present with a circumstantial ac-
count of having fought the burglar
that carried off the gems, and Of hav-
ing wrested from him watch which,
had it not been for her timely inter-
vention, would have disappeared with
the rest.
There was something In the way in
which Julia told this narrative that
aroused distrust in the mind of Cap
tain George Cooley. The captain and
Julia had a long talk, but Julia, re-
membering that as a burglar chaser
she had references from her last place,
stuck to her story.
Every good" said the captain, "but
if 1 were you would make thorough
search for the jewelry. I'll be back to-
morrow"
Ere the captain got around Julia had
found the jewelry. She said that the
burglar with whom she had fought
some hours before had appeared again
and tossed the gems on the back porch.
This strain on the credulity of Yon-
kers policeman wGs too much. Cap
tain Cooley advised against the re-
tention of Julia, so she packed her
suit case and went to the home of her
parents, at Croton on the Hudson.

had sent to the governors of the Pa

of holding another conservation con-

and freer discussion of conservation
as viewed in the west than there was,
according to Governor Hay, at the re-
cent st. Paul meeting.
practically all the western COVER
nors are in accord on the conservation
of natural resources" said Governor
Hay. 1.-THE so-called conservation con-
gress at St. Paul expressed only east

There was no open discussion of our
side of the question"
