BELLE ISLE SUICIDE MAY
BE T. A. KELLY, OF ADRIAN
circumstances Point to Body In
Morgue Being That Of Odd Char
acter Employed Around Hotel.

ADRIAN, Mich, March 24.-(Spe-
cial.) 1.-The young man giving the
name of Thomas Newton, who shot
himself on Belle Isle. Monday morning
and who died In st. Mary's hospital.
is believed by Adrian people to be
Thomas A. Kelly, who until a short
time ago was employed as night por-
ter at the Hotel Maumee In this city.
The photo found on the dead mans
clothes was easily recognized as
Joseph Ulrich, OF this city, who was
also employed at the hotel Maumee,
and the fact that the dead mans
initials. were T. A. X. gives rise to the
belief that Kelly Is the man.
Kelly left the employ of the Maumee
Feb. 18 after about three months serv-
Ice and Ulrich left soon after. The
men were well acquainted. Kelly was
a peculiar sort. He was an accom-
plished linguist and had at frequent
times told his Adrian friends that he
was up against IT," which fact was
borne out by his education and bear
ing. He often spoke or his mother iu
Spokane. A distinguishing mark Is
that Kelly had scalp wound at the
back OF his head over which he let his
hair grow.
An examination OF the head OF the
corpse ia the county morgue falls to
reveal the wound referred to In the
Adrian dispatch. Ulrich, whose photo
was found among the dead mans eff
feet, thinks the suicide may be Thos.
A. Hummer, a painter. who left Adrian
about six months ago.

COUNCIL COULD
ABOLISH SALOONS
Failure To Pass on Licenses by SEQ
ond Monday in April Would Drive
Liquor Places Out of Business.

1t is possible for all the saloons IN
Detroit to be done away with this
spring, but II Is not probable.
This result could be obtained with
out any vote OF the people or local
option election. Should the common
council become so involved In a dis
pute over the selection OF persons 70
whom saloon licenses should be grant
ed as TO fail to approve OF the requisite
number Of applications on the second
Monday in April, there would be no
saloons In Detroit for a year. That Ia
one OF the possibilities under the
lWarperCramton law, as explaieed by
| Corlpratioh Counsel HALEY. The law
specifically provides that the applica-
tions must be fayorably passed upon
by a certain date II the council falls
Ito approve of the application and
bonds by midnight OF that day, no
licenses can be issued for the year.
Only very hard and prolonged
fight among the aldermen as to what
saloonkeepers should be dropped and
which retained on the list could pro-
duce such a result That the number
will be considerably less than 1888,
however, Is now admitted by all the
ShdAt <IAiht Va NhO
liquor regulation committee, received
the opinion Of Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney Fitzpatrick Thursday morning.
and showed 1t to other aldermen. AS
stated previously, Fitzpatrick holds
that all transfers" In which one man
disposes Of a saloon business to an
other. constitute voluntary surrenders
OF licenses and thereby lessen the
number of licenses which may be
granted for the coming year.
1t Is impossible to tell Just how
many transfers have been made since
May /. There have been 61 such trans
fers since Sept. /. These saloons are
now running practically without
license, and could be closed at any
time by the police or anyone else who
chose to make complaint against them.
II is probable that the council COM
mittee will find that II can accept
about 1900 applications. There are
upwards OF 1900 on file.
The liquor regulation committee will
meet some time this week TO consider
the applications. II Is expected that
the amendment to the Watson ordi-
nance requested by Aid. Koenig, by
which II would be possible to estab-
lish q hotel, restaurant and bar at
Harper-ave. and Beaubien-st., will be
reported on favorably by the commit
tee. Only one technically stands in
the way, this being the objection rails
ed that the location Is I'm a residence
district and that a saloon license could
be granted only by consent OF all per-
sons owning property within 300 feet
of the place. Koenig contends that,
since the factory runs up TO the edge
OF his lot, the property Is not a resi-
dence section.

DEVOTION
FREES HUSBAND
Mrs. Tewksbury's Plea for Spouse
Who Stole When Poverty Pressed
Touches Judge Phelan's Heart.

His wife's devotion gave Daniel
Tewksbury his liberty, Thursday
morning. That he appreciated all
the faithful little woman had done for
him was apparent from the fervent
manner In which he embraced her as
he stepped from the prisoners box in
Judge Phelan's court and. before the
crowded court room. placed his lips
TO hers and kissed her repeatedly.
Turning to his brother, who had like
wise interceded In his behalf. Tewks-
bury also kissed him.
The scene was a most affecting
one. but not more pathetic than the
circumstances that led up to Tewts-
bury's arrest last January. Following
their marriage several months ago.
the young couple found themselves In
deep water. Luck seemed to break
against them at every turn and they
ran behind. Driven, one day. to des-
perate straits, Tewksbury took q kit
OF tools that did not belong to him
and sold them. using the money to
provide necessities for the home. The
theft was easily traced to him and
he was arrested.
Though In no physical condition to
work. the young wife secured employ
ment as q seamstress and managed
to earn enough money to support her
self and reimburse the owner OF the
tools, Ernest Rohleder. Then she
went personally to Judge Phelan and
asked that her husband be given an
other chance.
II had made up my mind last week
to give you year." said the Judge
to Tewksbury, after the latter had
changed his former plea of not guilty
to guilty. you can thank your wife
that am letting you go free today.
She Is the one responsible and you
ought to feel very grateful to her.
She has convinced me that in your
case justice will be best served by
giving you a chance to regain foot
ing In society, | want TO give you a
chance to work for this devoted little |
wife of yours and provide for her COM |
fort. for she Is certainly entitled to
all you can bestow upon her. Your
brother has promised to give you
work, and | am confident. Tewksbury,
that you will profit by this lesson"
