BREAD ORDINANCE
WON'T Be CHANGED
Committee Reports Against Restoring
Old Measure, Requiring Pound and
Two-Pound Loaves.

The proposed restoration OF the old
bread ordinance, requiring pound and
two-pound standard loaves, was re-
ported unfavorably by the council
committee on ordinances, Monday
noon. The committee decided that
the present system of leaving the
price uniform and changing the weight
OF the loaves was more flexible and en-
tailed less hardship OH the consumer
than to make standard LOAF and run
the risk of adding cent loaf to the
price
Aid. Watson's ordinance 10 compel
all vehicles 10 carry rear lights at
night TO avoid being run into by auto
mobiles, was taken UP and discussed.
Aid. Freiwald asked If 1t would refer
to push carts. He was answered in
the affirmative.
I'm afraid II man OF my size had
a push cart, he would have to hang
the light on behind himself" said
Freiwald.
The ordinance was laid over for
public hearing Friday at 2 o'clock,
when the messenger ordinance will
also be taken up, as we'll as the ordin-
ance requiring the ID. u. h. to place
route signs on both sides OF the rear
OF all cars on lines having more than
one route.

cause George C. May conductor on
the Fourteenth line, after collecting
two fares from Frank j. Affair. a
youth, struck the young man in the
face when he intimated that May was
not the best conductor in the city
and advised him TO hike back Ia
the farm in Canada"
Affair testified and his story was
corroborated by several passengers,
that he paid his fare inside the car.
Later he walked to the rear platform
where May demanded another fare.
Affair insisted that he had paid. hut
May was just as insistent that he
hadn't. Then Affair produced anoth-
er nickel to avoid walking home. AT
ter that the two INDUCED in some
words. and the young man advised
the conductor to again seek the farm.
Then the fireworks started, and Al
lair who is much smaller than the
ticket-taker. came out second best.

JEfFR|ES FINES
POLICEMAN 500
Morris Croyle Convicted of Assault
ing Herman Neumann. Brother
in-Law of Justice Stein.

Police Justice Jeffries on Monday
fined Morris Croyle, a patrolman, 500,
with the option OF 80 days in the De-
troit House of Correction, after Croyle
had been convicted of assault and bat
terry upon Herman Neumann. broth
er-in-law of Police Justice Stein.
Neumann accused Croyle OF strid-
ing him with club, while Croyle was
looking for evidence against saloon
keepers. Neumann is not a saloon
keeper In passing sentence, Justice
Jef1res said.
There have been some statements
made that would lead to the belief
that | am prejudiced against the po-
lice department and against police Off
GERS. There is no foundation for these
statements. | have cen gone long
way TO protect officers in the perfor-
nance of their duty.
Our taxpayers pay out thousands
of dollars for the maintenance OF Il
police department. Officers to main
tain the peace and dignity OF the com
munity, are clothed whit eXtraordin-
airy powers.
THAT officers may be distinguished
by the ordinary citizens, the depart
ment has clothed him in blue, given
him badge OF Office, and weapons
with which to preserve the peace. But
the department has seen fit TO take off
these emblems OF authority and send
officers out in plain clothes.
Presumably they are seeking evil
dence against violaters of the law But
they invade the parlors and kitchens
OF private homes and the result is UNI
told mix-ups and MISUNDERSTANDING.
There Is no telling how far these mis-
understandings will go some day.
They may result in tragedy.
Citizens are not supposed to know
that men who irtrude upon the priv
acy of their homes at night and in citi-
zens clothes are officers Of the law"
Justice Jeffries. remarks caused n
good deal of comment among the po-
lice officers who heard them.

WANT TO SETTLE
TRACTION MAT TER
Franchise and Public Utilities Com.
mittee Would Tackle Proposition
and Dispose of It.

AS an eleventh-hour measure, after
two years of failure by the present ad-
ministration to settle the street rail-
way question, the common council
committee on public utilities, Monday
noon adopted a resolution recommend
ing that the franchise and public util-
tiles committee be directed TO hold
joint sessions and settle the ques-
ton of fares, schedules and extern
sions.
The members of the committee ad-
mitted that the work might not be
completed before the present council
goes out OF existence, Jan. 10 next,
but they said they wished TO have
something done. The resolution was
introduced by Aid Allan. of the Fourth
ward, who said that since the referen-
dunn system had come in the common
council was afraid to take any action
OF any nature itself. He was in favor
of the council going ahead and set
Ting the question at once. AID.
Koenig interposed that the people
were waiting for chance TO vote on
municipal ownership, and that they
ought not to be disfranchised.
Municipal ownership can come
any day; what we want is settle
ment now said Allan.
Better get 1t settled said Aid.
Deimel, and Aid Freiwald and Aid.
Owen Joined the recommendation
The resolution was adopted.
The matter was brought up through
the referring back to the committee
of parts of the resolution favoring
the Walsh vestibule ordinance. The
ordinance was defeated last week
The remainder of the resolution
called for a service ordinance. Cor
poratiCn Counsel Hally was called in
to the meeting. He told of the city's
experience with the so-called 20-sec-
ond service ordinance, and the "a
second ordinance which followed IL
and which has been in the courts
about 30 months.
You have perfect right to pass
an ordinance said the corporation
counsel. but the chances are that
every new service ordinance means
new lawsuit"
1T is strange that the ID. U. r. off,
Gals should be so anxious TO get an
appraisal just at this time and want it
years." commented MI Hally in an
interview, Monday.
Mr. Hally had just returned from a
trip to Washington. taken partially for
the purpose Of securing data from gov
eminent statistics, TO be used In var
ious proceedings against the railway
company.
Mr. Hutchins is quoted as saying
that he wishes to put an end to all
this litigation" continued Mr.. Hally.
THAT may be so, but the street rail
way company has been the center OF
litigation ever since | can remember.
and il is only now that 1t comes to ask
for an appraisal.
1T may be that il would be a good
thing to have the appraisal made just
at this time when materials are high
or than they ever were before in the
worlds history. and when they are
liable TO drop at any moment. and it
may be that the company sees some.
thing bad coming TO IL through the
various proceedings now pending
Anyway, IT is a noteworthy fact that
the anxiety should come Just now"
Mr.. Hally declined 10 discuss his
Washington trip.

Fixes DEFENDS
HIGHER CRITICS
"They Are Students Seeking More
Light" Baptist Pastor Tells His
Fellow Clergymen.

Christmas preparations seriously
yinterfered with the attendance at the
! Baptist Ministers conference, Mon
/ day morning in the Woodward-ave.

more than a half dozen brethren
were called to order" by President
Fixes.
The paper OF the morning was a
review of Orr's book. THE Faith OF
the Modern Christian by the Rev.
Ernest A. Seymour, of Emmanuel
church. Mr.. Seymour gave a resume
of the book that presented the au-
! thors thoughts in comprehensive
if tabloid way. The discussion which
followed resolved itself into the
views of thos present on the natural
and supernatural acceptance of the
Bible and its incidents although
neither Mr.. Orr's book nor Mr. Sey-
mour's review OF it suggested any
such controversy.
Il believe the Bible to be a super
natural book, but then I'm an old
fashioned conservative" said the
Rev c. L. Conley. by way of start
ing the ball rolling. when liberal
ism degenerates into naturalism.

it,"
God laid more stress upon the

said the Rev J. c. Calder emphat-
ically. "A man must believe before
he can preach andp reach what he
believes. In the churches of the so
called higher critics there is rare
ly conversion"
The Rev. Mr. Cameron. OF Wind.
sor. gave another jab at the higher
critic when he related a statement
made to him by a noted missionary
that a man with higher critical
views was simply no good as mis-
sionary.
"A radical either becomes an ex.
tremist or returns to the most con
servative belief, there is no middle
course" Mr. ameron said this great
missionary leader told him

;,ot seeking more light he would
not question his ground in the first
place. Truth is as old as God Him
self There is no such thing as new
truth in this old world But there
is always new light TO be found and
the higher critic is merely seeking
new light.
II do not consider the miracles
In the Bible as supernatural. Jesus
was divine being, and, therefore.
the most natural thing in the world
for him TO do were the very acts we.
in our human limitations, recognize
and call miracles There are Just
as many miracles shown us today.
Is not the turning OF man, black
with sin, to Christian life. a
miracle? | agree with every speaker
here this morning-it is all i'm the
individual point of view not in the
thing itself"
The conference will meet again the
first Monday in the new year.
