ACTING MAYOR ELLIS vET0ES
MUMFORD'S TEXT BOOK PLAN
Says He Fears Proposal Would WORK
Hardship to Pupils OF Grammar
Grades.

Aid. George H. Ellis, president pro
tenn of the common council, performed
his first official act as acting mayor,
in the absence of both Mayor Brett
meyer and Aid Gilman, president OF
the council, Friday morning, when he
vetoed School Inspector Mumfords
plan to sell text books to high school
pupils at cost. The acting mayor first
fortified himself by looking up con-
siderable data bearing on the question
and consulting the corporation coun-
sells office.
The board of education, in its 1910
estimates, asked for $4,000 for the
purpose OF laying in supply Of text
books In such quantities that 1t could
distribute the books to the pupils d.
rectly. The common council, however,
cut out the item. Now the board
proposes to get around this by taking
the money from the free text book
fund, out of which the pupils OF the
grammar schools are supplied, as Aid.
Ellis understands 1t.
II do not propose to stand for any
action that is going to deplete the
free text hook fund and, possibly, work
a hardship to the pupils of the gram
mar grades. who are entitled to free
books under the law" said the acting
mayor. Therefore, am vetoing Mr.
Mumfords resolution, which the board
of education passed in its last meet
ing"
Several local booksellers, who
would be materially affected by the
Mumford resolution, appeared before
the acting mayor, Thursday. in oppo-
sition to the plan.

THINK THEY HAVE
KISS PAPA F|END
Police Believe They Can Connect
Thomas Moore With Attacks On
Little, Girls.

AS the result OF a brutal attack
upon 5-year-old Adelaide Rueger In
front OF her home at No. 237 Brush.
81, Thursday night, Thomas Moore

McGregor Mission and the Salvation
Army home. Is the subject OF the

that he would not be surprised IL

last winter.
Capt. Mcdonnell and other detec.
tives base their theory solely on the
mans method of attacking his little
victims. Adelaide Rueger, a bright
child OF sunny disposition, appeared
at police headquarters Friday morn
ing, her features lacerated by the
marks of Moores finger nails as they
closed over her face
l. Helen Brown was seized by her as
sailant In exactly the same way. Sew
cent assaults, have teen treated In
the same manner.
Capt. Mcdonnell has assigned De-
tectives Reid and Good to trace
Moore's every move In Detroit since
his first appearance here three years
ago. They applied for a warrant for
him in police court, Friday morning
and the child was taken there that
the justice might see her face.
Moore had been lettering about the
neighborhood on Brush-st. all Thurs
day evening. and his suspicious
actions caused parents to call their
children off the streets. The little
Rueger girl sat on the front steps.
Charles J. Rueger, the father, was
upstairs.
Suddenly Moore came up the steps
and seized the child. She screamed
and his hand closed roughly over her
mouth Nathan Lowenthan, No. 234
Brush-st., heard her scream and
rushed from his house. He ran up to
Moore and dealt him a hard blow In
the face, knocking the brute to the
ground.

thing going on" said the captain,
but I am convinced now that We have
this fellow in custody that most OF
these attacks on children will stop.
