JACQUES WIDOW
GRANTED PENSION
Finding Of Accident Report in Pocket
Evidence That Policeman Was On
Duty When Killed.

The carefully written report OF a
Michigan-ave. street car accident
found In the pocket Of Lieut.. Peter
Jacques after his fatal injury in the
Baker-st. bridge accident two months
ago, was the means of giving his
widow a $25 a month pension and his
minor child IS a month till she Is 16.
The decision was made by a coun-
ell committee. Friday morning. The
question hinged on whether Lieut..
jacques was on duty when killed. The
lieutenant had left his work and
started home on q Michigan-ave. car.
An accident occurred on the car, and
he wrote out his report. 1t was the
theory of the police department, as
presented to the committee by Police
Secretary Walters. that the lieutenant
was on his way to the station to make
report when he was killed, and was
technically on duty.

This Is the first time this season

scented to go against each other In
matched race and followers Of the
speed game realize that 1t will be an
exhibition such as has never been
seen In Detroit.
DePalma for two years held the
worlds circular track mile record
made at the state fair track at Min
neapolis. He turned the trick In 81
seconds fiat the first year and the next
season lowered this one-quarter of q
second, at the same time establishing
three and ten-mile record. These
records stood until early this sum-
mer when Oldfield driving his 200

DePalma's records. He went the mile
in 40 AS seconds and set the crowd
wild with his flirting with death.
