WABASH LIKELY TO LOSE.

Granting Request TO Close
Scventh-st.

Once more the Wabash railroad ap-

Seventh-st., between Fort-st. and JET
ferson.ave, vacated by the city, so
that the railroad may build new
terminal freight shed on the land on
the south side OF Fort-st., between
Sixth and Eighth-sts. A large number
of property.owners in the district ar.
fected appeared before the councli
committee on street openings, In tho
council chamber, Tuesday evening,
and protested vigorously against the
closing of the street. on the ground
that Seventh-st. is the outlet from
the Michigan Central and Pere Mar
quette freight sheds. The railroad
officials declared that Sixth and
Eighth-sts. are as useful to the public,
that Seventh-st. Is practically In
disuse and that a new freight shed
in that location would be great
benefit 10 business interests. The
committee did not render a decision
but appeared TO be unfavorable to the

LIVE WIRE KILLS ANOTHER.
Thomas Howell is Third Victim II
Four Days.

Thomas Howell, an electrician, 80
years old, was electrocuted by a live
wire which had blown from pole In
an alley at the rear of No. $40 Mich
igan-ave., Tuesday night, making the
third victim of electricity. in the last
four days.

ed guy wire, and Lloyd Longworth

Howell, who lived at No. 4l2 Six
teenth-st, was taking short cut
through the alley, from w. p. Dunn
saloon, No. S34 Michigan-ave., to go
TO his home. The wire obstructed his
path and it is thought that he at.
tempted 10 push 1t aside, not thinking
that it was charged.
The moist atmosphere and the
water-soaked ground caused brilliant
flash as the circuit was completed
through Howell's body. and Mrs. Armi.
tage Try, of No. $40 Michigan-ave.
rushed into her husbands saloon, with
the information that a man was burn
ing 10 death in the alley. Howell was
grasping the wire with both hands,
and writhing on the ground. He died
a moment after number of men
rushed to his rescue. When the wire
was cut by a public lighting commits
sion employee, 1t was found that
Howell's fingers were almost burned
off
Howell was single. and is survived
by his mother, three brothers, and
three sisters.

TO BAR CHILDREN
FROM THEATERS
Ordinance Prohibiting Attendance
After 8 P. M. Unless Accompanied
By Parents introduced in Council.

An ordinance providing that nc
child under IA shall be permitted to
attend any theater. moving picture
show, vaudeville. nickelodeon or penny
exhibit after y. m, unless &c
companied by parept or guardian, was
introduced In the common council by
Aid. Gutman. Tuesday evening. A
penalty OF IS fine or 10 days imprison
ment Is provided for any proprietor OF
person in charge OF such an amuse
ment place who shall permit child
not so accompanied TO attend an even
ing performance.
A petition signed by the Rev. Myron
Z. Adams, one OF the ministers VINO
made an investigation OF the moving
picture SHOWS for the Pastors union
and by other ciergymen and othei
citizens asking for the passage OF sucn

AS the matter was referred TO TINS
ordnance committee. public hearlns
will be given soon az which the matter
can be taken up fully. II Is expected
that the owners of moving picture
shows In the outer portions OF the CITY
will object to the ordinance, as cutting
too deeply into their business. MOST
OF these depend upon their evening
performances for their profit, and q
large share Of their patronage consists
OF Toys and girls from 10 TO ~ years

for allowing children to attend SHOWS
rests entirely with the people III

AUTOS HAVE KILLED
SIX PERSONS IN
THREE MONTHS
List of Fatalities Due To Reckless
Driving Thus Far This Year
Almost Half That of
Whole of 1909.
Taxi Drivers Worst Offenders Against
Speed Laws; Motorcycle Cops
Put On Their Trail.

Although Il is early In the year. only
three months OF 1910 having elapsed
the number OF automobile fatalities
already is almost half what II was
in 1909.
Last year there were 10 deaths as
a result OF persons being struck down
by automobiles. In January. Febrn-
airy and March of this year. total OF
six has been reached.
Last year. there were only two
agencies that caused a larger number
OF violent deaths than the automobile
They were the steam railroad and the
street car. With the increase OF auto
mobile traffic on the streets of De-
trolt, there also has been an Increase
OF police protection. The traffic squad
is an Institution that grew out OF Com
missioner Crouls advent into office,
and that Is one means Of saving the
pedestrians on the downtown streets
w. J. Almond, Coroner Benefits
clerk. declares that violent death and
accidents resulting from reckless auto
drivers are far above the average
this year II they continue at the
present rate. last years record will be
far eclipsed
The consensus OF opinion is that the
increase of automobile traffic is in
great part responsible for the numer-
Gus deaths and accidents. Certainly
the traffic squad and the motorcycle
officers tend 10 discourage fast and
reckless driving
Only recently. the police have di-
rected their attention against night
chauffeurs. drivers of taxicabs who
wait for belated pedestrians or who
gain a livelihood by steering joy-rid
Ing parties through the brightly-light.
ed districts.
These young men have penchant
not only for fast driving. but for recS
less. daredevil driving. Any evening
when midnight approaches or after
that hour they can be seen zig-zag-
ging their way In and out among the
downtown streets.
Last Saturday, Commissioner Croul
instituted crusade against them BY
putting his motorcycle men on their
trail. Most OF them are Wise enough
10 keep within a reasonable speed
when they observe the men from the
central station speeding about on
their motorcycles.
Il can't understand how IL is that
those fellows have been carrying oil
the way they have without killing
more people, said Commissioner
Croul. my officers will do all in their
power to stop this practice OF racing
up and down the main thoroughfares
at night. I've noticed how they speed
up alongside street cars and It's a
wonder they don't run down passen-
gers who are alighting
Long practice has made these fell
lows simply reckless. believe the
taxicab firms themselves would be
glad II the speeding were stopped. It's
only n matter Of expense to the com
panies, when the wear and tear on
the tires and the machinery OF the
automobile is considered"

Mabel GLIB Says Unknown Assailant
Assaulted Her on Street.

Miss Mabel Glib, 80 years old, OF
No. AL Lafayette-blvd., reports to the
police that she was attacked, for
some reason unknown TO her, by n
woman who sprang at her as she was

Hotel Pontchartrain, shortly before

man tore Miss Gibbs waist and pulled
her hair. Then. with her male escort,
she jumped into q taxicab, and rode
rapidly away.
Miss Glib was accompanied by 4
woman friend, when well-dressed
couple approached. Without word,
Miss Glib says, the woman sprang at

1t has only been few years since

since the disease was discovered and
named
Whenever there is an infiamed con-
dition OF the appendix. caused by i'm
pactei faces in the small cavity
opening into the intestine, you then
have appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this
Inflammation of the bowels, and were
puzzled to know the cause
Even now, with all the knowledge
we have OF the disease. no medical
man can tell you why we should have
an appendix, why we find 1t where It
is. or what are its functions. II II has
any.
The disease for which the operation
Is q cure is usually caused by indiges

large and indigestible meal.
Physicians have until recently rec

Il Is known that II is caused by in

Where the patient is treated with
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. the UNI
healthy conditions prevailing rapidly
disappear. the stomach and intestines
are placed back in their normal con-
dition, every organ OF the body
operates as It should. and the infiam-
nation is reduced and the operation

Conscientious physicians, who are
looking after the best interests OF

ply OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
handy In their office. where In cases
of sudden attacks of Indigestion they
can relieve the patient at once.
There Is no record Of a case OF ap-

No better advice can be given TO
