HOME FUNCTIONS
OUT OF STYLE
Rapid Transit Has Completely
Changed Detroit's Social Life,
Says Andrew Hair

Detroit's whole social life has
changed within generation. accord
ing TO Andrew Hair. the veteran
caterer. Rapid transit has had it's
effect on social matters. and the as
semblies and receptions of the past
are only a memory as far as this city
Is concerned.
with the coming OF the automobile,
the old fashions In entertaining have
vanished" says Mr.. Hair. What
were the social pleasures OF % or 80
years ago would be considered slow
by the generation that has come up
since. The home Is no longer the
place of entertainment, and our
fashionable folks aim to be entertain
ed rather than to entertain.
"As 1t was years ago, the social
season in Detroit began with the
November reception given by Senator
Mcmillan In his home. He invited
his friends. and they came in their
carriages and visited socially for a
few hours. Friends met and chatted
and then went home. Other recep-
tons followed. and the whole winter
was occupied with these affairs.
1T was an honor to be invited TO
q mans home In those days, and that
was considered the place for entertain
ment. Then Detroits wealthy people
had magnificent carriages and horses.
and the gatherings were brilliant af-
fairs. Often there were 400 to 500
guests at such receptions.
Now, the entertainments are held
In the big hotels or at the Country
Club. People are whisked to these
functions In their automobiles. They
must go fast; rapid motion and ex-
citement are the things desired, and
the old-fashioned affairs are not
quick enough for the young folks.
1T Is very rarely that big functions
are held In the homes OF our promi-
nent people now. The change seems
rather a pity from the viewpoint OF
an old-timer. began to cater TO
these affairs In 1877, so | have wit
messed the whole change.
$50 far as I can learn, the same
change has come over social affairs
the country over. II is the spirit OF
the times, a more rapid way OF do
ing things, a spirit in keeping with
the change in transportation. And
IL Is a change that has come to
stay"

COUNCIL MEETING
ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING
OF The YEAR WILL BE HELD
THURSDAY NIGHT.

City council will meet in regular
semi-mothly session Thursday night
and it will be one of the most i'm
pcrtant meetings yet held by that
body, as two very important matters
will be taken UP for disposition.
In all probability the charges
against officers Burney, Low, Nor
gan and Brockinton will be taken up
and some disposition made of the
cases, and there is the election of a
chief of police. 1t is not thought
that it is possible to dispose Of both
Of these matters in one night, and it
is more than probable that the cOun-
Gil will adjourn pver until Friday
night for the purpose of taking up
the unfinished business. 1t is eX-
rected that all of the board, with the
exception of Alderman Bowen, who
is out Of the city, will be present.

SENATE
Ho -sI5 STILL DEBATING ON TrE
MEASURE BUT WILL PROBA-
BLY, REACH A VOTE AT SEES
SION TODAY.

Atlanta, July 11.-The senate to-
day ratified the proposed federal in
come tax amendment by vote of %
to 49, the deciding vote being cast
by President Slaton, it being neces-
sary for him to decide what would
be the vote of the majority if the full
senate was voting.
The debate on the matter has
been in progress for several days,
and even today it did not look that
vote would be reached.
The house devoted its third day to
the discussion Of the measure and
still it is not through with it. To-
morrow it is the first thing on the
calendar which makes four days de-
voted to- it.
Unless something unforeseen hap
pens the debate will end some time
during the day as there are only
few more speakers to be heard.
The lawmakers then hope to get
down to important state business.

4 Weeks RECESS
JUDGE CONYERS ILL AND NO
SESSION OF SUPERIOR COURT
WAS HELD YESTERDAY.

Superior court did not convene
yesterday as it was recessed on ac-
countof the illness cf Judge Conyers
until next Monday, when the Lyons
cases will be taken up and disposed
of.
The fist case assigned for yester-
day was that Of J. A. Cooper, former
local manager of the Western Union
Telegraph company. Mr.. Cooper,
who has several times been arraign-
ed in the local court, is still held on
three indictments Three cases
against him have already been tried,
each resulting in a victory for the
defendant.
Then it was expected to take up
the cases of the two police officers
recently indicted by the grand jury
as well as a number of others, but
the illness of Judge Conyers will, Of
course, cause these cases to be car
ried ever to the next regular term in
January.
News from the home Of the judge
yesterday said that he would in all
probability be ready to preside at
court next Monday
Sheriff Berrie and Deputy Pyles
were busy yesterday summonins
jurors to appear at the Glynn county
court house Monday and nearly every
available juror on the list will be on
hand
w. B. Lyons and son, Archie, are
to be put on trial for the murder or
Fleming Smith, and will be one of
the most interesting murder trials
ever heard in this section of the
state.
An array of legal talent represents
both the state and the defendants.
and it will be a hard fought battl,
from start to finish. There was sof :
talk time ago that there would i.
some trouble about securing a jury
in Glynn county, but this will not be
the case, and it is Doubtless If the
court will consume a day in secur-
ing twelve men. Visitors from all
parts Of Wayne will be here-some
- near t2e case and others Witness
&c. In the little town Of Jesup,
there was great excitement at the
time of the killing, as all the parties
concerned, were well known through
cut that section Of the country
The Lyons case will be the last
one to be heard by the present ses-
sion Of the Glynn superior court, and
it has been a long and tedious term.
Some say this case will consume an
entire week, hut others are of the
opinion that it will be finished in
less than four days.

''HANC YOUR HAT
IN DETROIT" IS
TOLD ELKS
ED WITH 3. p. o. E. MEMBERS
AND ALL ENJOYING A GREAT
TIME-A FINE PROGRAM.

Detroit, Mich, July 11-Singing
Hang Your Hat in Detroit, the Of
fetal convention song, thousands of
Elks arrived This morning, swelling
the mighty throngs of good fellows
which poured into the city all day
yesterday and during the night. Most
of the arrivals came in special trains
which had 0een run from all sections
of the country, from Portland, Me-,
to Portland, Ore, and from Duluth,
to Galveston. Detroit hotels are al
ready full to overfowing, but board
ing houses and homes have been op-
ened and every visitor will have a
comfortable place to eat and sleep.
The final touches were put on the
decorations this morning and tonight
following the water carnival, the tri-
umphal entrance of the rulers of Elk
dom and their welcome by Governor
Warner and other officials, the city
will blaze out with such display of
lights as has never been witnessed
here before.
Thursday will be the day of the big
parade, the great event of the week
The Elks will march by States, with
Michigan in the lead, and from pres
ent prospects the parade will be by
all odds the most stupendous affair
of the kind ever pulled off by the
Best People on Earth.

BUENOS AyRES IN
DEADLyFEAR Of
ANARCHISTS
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
OF AMERICAN STATES DOES
NOT WANT A REPETITION OF
RECENT OUTRAGES THERE.

Buenos Ayres, July 11.-Guarded
by hundreds of police and detectives
to prevent Anarchist demonstrations,
the fourth International Conference
of American States today began the
consideration of momentCus prob
lens affecting the welfare, peace and
prosperity of all the republics of the
New World.
Since the anarchist outrages of last
month, when six persons were fatally
injured by bombs exploded in the
great National Theatre, the finest in
the world, the authorities of Arge',-
tina have carried on a strenuous
campaign against the agitators.
Many have been arrested and all sus-
pected persons are under close sur
veilance, lest the city and nation be
disgraced by some untoward incident
or outbreak of violence during the
presence here of the distinguished
delegates to the Pan-American Con-
gress.
Fights between the police and the
Anarchists in the capital of the Ar
gentine Republic have been frequent
bombs have been thrown and the
city has been declared under martial
control several times during the past
few years. In 1908, a bomb was
thrown at President Alcorta, as he
was driving through the streets. A
few months later another was hurled
at his wife. Both had narrow es-
capes from death. Falcon, chief of
police, and his secretary, DR.. Larde-
gan, were killed with bomb On Ne
vember IA, 1909. Twenty persons
were seriously injured in bomb ex-
plosion on the street in May 1909.
Today's session of the Congress
was devoted to consideration of re-
ports The three preceding confer
ences have moved along tle lines OF
least resistance; that is to say, the
delegates have adopted as basic prin-
ciples such propositions as have Sc
cured the easy adhesion of the great
majority, but no effort was made to
coerce the minority of the States into
acceptance of rules which at first
presentation were obnoxious to them.
Instead, when these were of real i'm
portance, they were thoroughly de-
bated, and then remanded for further
consideration at the next conference.
In this way the conferences have
been made educational, and exper-
ience has shown that a sound pro-
position is almost certain to secure
adhesion. SO it happens that the
program includes some subjects that
already have figured in the debates
OF the preceding conferences.

a few days ago, in fact, this was only
his second trip The entire train

man inside.
Orrin introduced the gentleman as
Mr.. Lee and the senior Jennings po-
litely said: "Well Mr.. Lee what can
do for you?"
'Mr. Jennings [ want you to give
me your bottom price en- three of
