ARRESTED BY Man
he ONCE TRAOUCED
Former Sergt. Woznack Locked Up
BY Patrolman Brown on Charge
of Being Drunk.

Former Police Sergt. John Woz
mack, dismissed from the force more
than two years ago for making false
reports against Patrolman James
Brown, attached to Delray station
was arrested by the latter, early
thursday, on a charge Of being drunk
and was locked up In the station OF
which he once had charge. He was
brought before Justice Stein in the
early session OF police court. Thurs
day. and the justice put the case over
until Friday TO investigate. Woznack
denies he was drunk and insists that
his arrest grows out OF Browns old
grudge against him.
WoZnack Is now a special officer In
the employ Of the Grand Trunk rail
road. His story Is that he was re.
turning from Toledo and that, as the
train was pulling into Delray, he lost
his hat and jumped OF to look for It
only TO encounter Brown. The pa
trolmsn, he says, at once brought up
the old trouble and challenged him to
a fight. When Woznack refused 70
mix" II, Brown, the former sergeant
alleges. attacked him with his club
and then took him to the station.
Brown says he did not want Woz
mack locked up, but took him to the
station because he was abusive. The
matter will be thoroughly aired Fri
day morning.

TUNNEL WON'T Be
READY TILL AUG. |
Much Debris Must Be Removed From
River Sections Before Track
Laying Can Start.

Not until some time In the latter
part Of July or, perhaps. In the early
part of August will the Detroit river
tunnel be opened for through railroad
travel. There remains In the river por-
ton of the big tube an accumulation
OF trackage, cement, concrete and other
debris, left by the contractors. the But
Ter Bros. Hon Co, which will require
a month yet TO clean out The Michi-
gan Central has been rushing work as
rapidly as possible on the tunnel, and
has practically completed the electri-
fication of the landward ends as we'll
as the track work down TO the two
riverside shafts.
II is the portion of the tunnel under
the river which is still In impossible
condition. AS rapidly as II can be
cleaned out, the track work and cleo
trification will be carried along and
the tunnel Is expected to be complete
In every detail by the middle OF the
summer. 1t had been hoped earlier
that the work might be completed in
June, but this was but a hope at best.
or course, there will be travel
through the tunnel before the work is
carried to the point where trains can
be pulled through by electric power.
In the completion OF this immense
task every detail must be carefully
looked after, however. and the formal
opening Of the tunnel will not come
until all is ready for the best service.

DR.. Boyd declared that men should
bring three qualities into their work

The commanding figures in the

1T is mistake to think that we

IN one thing only. You men whose
business IL Is TO sell seeds, ought TO

until you understand the whole thing.
DR. Boyd dwelt upon good health rs

well-modulated voice. His homily
abounded in Quips that had freshness
and edge.

PAVING PRICES HIGHER.
Contractors Say Labor and Material
Are Costing More.

Paving and repav!ng contracts arc
going at much higher prices than last
year. Public Works Commissioner
Haarer has tried readvertising the con
tracts for streets where he thought
the bids were too high. but he got
very little reduction. Contractors say
that materials are costing them more
and that labor Is scarce and higher
priced. Under the circumstances, II
Is unlikely that bids will be lower
during the season. One effect of tho
higher labor cost has been to bring
cedar and brick paving nearer together
in cost, the average price being about
1925 per square yard for cedar and
s263. for brick. Cedar paving costs
more than the latter figure in some
cases. In his annual estimates for
paving, Public Works Commissioner
Haarer has taken account of these liz
creases.
