IMPORTANT POINT
READY FOR TEST
Courts Right To Name Insanity
Commission To Be Determined by
Appeal in Dicksrson Case

Frank M. Dickerson's appeal to the
supreme court from his conviction and
life sentence, on the charge OF murder
Ing his wife. Abbie. has been certified
by Judge William f. Connolly, and Il
all ready for review by the supreme
court, which will be called upon tc
decide an Important question dealing
with brain storm" defenses. The gu
preme courts answer In the Dickerson
case, will govern the action OF the
local court In trying the long-delayed
murder case Of DR.. Garabed X. Boy
allan, as the same question OF the ie
gality OF an insanity commission ap
pointed by the court, was raised In
that case.
The basis OF Dickersons appeal. and
the subject OF much wrangling and
discussion In the Boyajian trial. Is
Act It's Of the public laws Of 1905
which reads In part:
In criminal cases for homicide.
where the issues involve expert
knowledge or opinion. the court
shall appoint one or more suitable,
disinterested persons, not exceed
Ing three. 80. This provision
shall not preclude either prosecu-
ton or defense from using other
expert witnesses at the trial.
Acting on that law, Judge Connolly
appointed a commission I'm the Boy
allan case. The validity OF the APP
pointment was never tested, as the
case was never finished, resulting In
a disagreement.
In the Dickerson case, Judge Con
molly appointed Drs. l. l.. Polozker and
j. B. Kennedy. The defense, In ap
pealing. attacks the validity OF the
act itself, holding that II violates the
constitutional provision that an act
shall have not more than one object
which shall be expressed In its title.
The defense also claims that the
court erred I'm determining that the
case involved expert knowledge or
opinion: in appointing his commission
without previous notice, and without
the presence OF the defendant: and
further, In allowing Drs. Kennedy and
Polozker to be sworn when their
names were not on the information.
AS soon as the question is decided
by the supreme court the trial OF DR..
Boyajian, on the charge of numbering
his nephew, Hartoon Gostanian, will
be taken up.

Ing Detroit newspaper said
editorially:-
Our (the city's) restric-
tons on ice deliveries In De-
troit are rather lax. Except
for prohibition to cut below
the sewer intakes, no super
vision is exerted at all. In fact,
and even this prohibition Is
not enforced"
Chicago, Cleveland, Boston. To-
ledo, Buffalo, Columbus, Gin
cinnati, and every other city
of Importance In the country
have safe-guarded the public
health by passing stringent
Ice ordinances.
But what has Detroit done?
Absolutely nothing!
Isn't this a pretty state of af-
fairs for a city who prides
herself on her civic beauty,
cleanliness and healthfulness?
WHY is 1t that such conditions
prevail?
WHO are responsible for risking
the health Of the public in
this way?
Isn't II no to the public-spirited
citizens to inject right here
the great big question:
WHY?
Health officer Kiefer said a
year ago.
THE law now is ENTIRE.
LY INADEQUATE"
But has anything been done
since? NO!
Have you seen any new ordl-
nance guarding against the
cutting, sale and delivery OF
impure ice?
Did YOU ever stop and wonder
WHY such a state Of affairs
was permitted to exist?
WHY, with the need so great,
has absolutely nothing been
done?
In a local newspaper / Health
OHicer Kiefer Is again quoted
~ saying
"Of course. ice will catch
the dust and dirt OF the street
&c II is allowed TO stand out
and it's bound to
catch impurities"
Could any franker admission be
made Of the dangers lurking
I'm ice left on the sidewalk"

WHY7-we ask.
Why is nothing being done
when the health of the citi-
zens of Detroit is jeopardized
by such abominable ice condi-
tions as those which exist to-
day?
"WHY7"-That's the question
everyone should be asking,
and demand an answer.
Here's what The Detroit Free
Press had to say about five
weeks ago?
Corporation Counsel Hally
and Health officer Kiefer are
considering an ordinance rela-
tive to the pure ice PROPOSE
ton, which 1t is hoped TO have
ready for Introduction to the
council within a few weeks"
Did You get that last part?--
(WHICH 1T is HOPED TO
HAVE READY FOR INTRO
DUCTION TO THE COUNCIL
WITHIN A FEW WEEKS"
And then remember that this
time has gone by and not
single thing has yet been
done!
Do you blame us for asking
why?
Is it surprising that people are
beginning to wonder who is

Again. about a year ago. the
health officer Of the City OF

better. We maintain that It's
essential to public health that
Ice be delivered right INTO
THE HOME, not left on the
street or sidewalk.
In Chicago they won't permit
the delivery OF any ice unless
both ice and wagons are thor
oughly washed with clean city
water before being loaded.
And IL Chicago found 1t neces-
sary to provide for clean wag-
ons and a healthier service,
surely it's high time Detroit
was doing something along
the same line.
But WHY haven't they don't IT?
WHY?-we ask.
In an editorial a year ago the
Free Press said
knowledge OF Ice perils
has advanced to a remarkable
degree. Scientists have inyes-
tigated the possibilities OF dis
ease infection through this
source. They have found that
the old belief that water puri-
fies itself in freezing must be

given warning that even clean
ice is often infected during
the delivery, and that strin-
gent rules must be made and
enforced to prevent this In
lection. Detroit has done moth

vance in knowledge"

School, Sixth Grade. Age II.
In little alley of San Francisco
stands a rude little cottage in which
dwell a laborer, his wife and seven
children. The children would often go
hungry to feed their favorite dog, Jack.
This dog would often escort the chill
dren to school.
Every day they had to pass a little
house on their way to school. The
elder of the children went to milk the
cows for a neighboring friend, for
which he was paid so cents week.
One day, as they were passing the
seashore, they heard a crash, and be-
fore them to their surprise, they saw
vessel which had struck a rock. The
dog ran forward and plunged into the
water.
After swimming for long time he
came upon the wreck and seized man
by the coat and carried him to shore.
The children and their mother. carried
him to the house. When the man was
able to speak he asked to see the dog.
The dog was brought before the man,
and he said "As you have saved my
life / will give you this" and from his
pockets he pulled a handbook and
handed him piece of paper, which
read, "$2150, paid to order of James
Judd"
Every year he sent the children great
presents and the dog was never for
