BUMPER BUSINESS DONE
ON TAX REDEMPTION DAY
New Record Set In City Treasurer's
Office, Clerks Making Overtime to
Accommodate Public.

Tuesday was the biggest tax re-
demption day in the history of the city
treasurer's office. City Treasurer Koch
has made Il his policy ever since as
Stunning office TO guard the property
owners of the city from the tax title
men so far as lay in his power, and
this year was no exception. He has
advertised warning to persons who
neglected to pa ytheir 1908 taxes to
get their money in before June /, and
hundreds did SO.
Those who did not get In under the
wire will now have to pay whatever
the tax title men demand TO get clear
title to the property. The general
charge Is 10 per cent interest and 100
per cent penalty
As an accommodation to the public,
the city treasurer's office was kept
open long after the usual hours Tues
day, and il was 1920 at night before
all the clerks finished their evenings
work. At that a great many receipts
remained TO be written Wednesday
morning, these being added to Tues.
days business. Up to closing time
Tuesday 1886 receipts for back taxes
were written out for total payment
Of $14.132 The receipts left over
Tuesday night and completed Wednes-
day number about 100, and call for the
payment Of about $1,000 of back taxes
Altogether about $4,000 was saved
to taxpayers by the final redemption
day payments as the tax title men
would have doubled the payments
June |.
The banks, with the exception of
the Peoples State. were among the
laggards. Having long lists OF mort
gagged property on which the back
taxes had not been paid, most OF the
banks waited until within a day or
two of the final redemption period TO
pay up these taxes.

DAMAGE SUIT IS
BITTERLY FOUGHT
Every Inch Contested in Litigation
Involving Owners of Moffat and
Ford Buildings.

One of the most bitterly contested
legal battles In the history of the
Wayne circuit court Is that between
the owners of the Moffat block and
Edward Ford who owns the Ford
building. which has been In progress
in Judge Mandells court for sever al
days. The contestants are represented
by a brilliant array OF legal talent.
Much Of the time Is consumed by the
argument Of counsel as to the mater
iality of questions asked. and Judge
Mandell Is constantly being asked for
a ruling
The evidence heretofore has been
extremely technical, being given by en-
gineers, and related TO the alleged
damage 10 the foundations OF the Moi
fat building by the erection of the
Ford skyscraper.
Wednesday morning Architect Meier,
OF the firm OF Donaldson & Meier, was
on the stand. He was examined as 10
the damages resulting to the Moffat
block He stated that the building had
been we'll constructed. and cost orig
inally $360,000 He figured that the
building deprecated about 10 per cent
during the years II has been erected,
and he estimated that II had been fur
Their deprecated to the extent OF 20
per cent by the damages which fol.
lowed the erection of its neighbor. De-
failing the damages, he referred to the
unsightly supports applied TO keep the
building together, the sinking of the
floors, the bulging of the walls and the
displacement Of the supporting col
umns.
An attempt was made to get from
him the value Of the property as It
now stands, but this was objected to,
and a great part Of Wednesday morn
ing's session was taken up with argu-
ments as to the admissability Of such
evidence from Mr. Meier.
Attorneys Hinton Spaulding and
Harrison Geer represent the plaintiffs,
while Leo Butzel, ex-Justice William
l.. Carpenter, Ward Choate and
Latham e Stuart appear for Mr.. Ford
and the contractors.

ENGINEERS SPEND MORNING
LISTENING TO APPEALS
Take Up Matters That Come Up From
Various Divlsions-choose Next

Consideration of appealed cases
from various divisions. involving some
OF the basic principles OF the order,
led the animated debate In Wednesday
mornings session of the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers, and called
forth some of the best efforts OF the
brotherhood's orators. Just what the
fuss was all about Is known only TO
the engineers themselves, and they are
sworn toe secrecy, but from the few
words that filtered through the doors
and windows OF the convention hall IL
vas apparent that matters OF serious
moment occupied the attention OF the
body.
The serious nature OF the discussion
was evident from the fact that the
leaders of the order, such men as AS
sistant Grand Chiefs Wills and Bur
CESS, were impelled to join in, and. in
earnest tones. they addressed the
membership at great length.
II was expected that the selection OF
place of meeting for the 1912 con.

up more time than had been antici-
rated and this matter will go over
until the afternoon. The contest
seems to have narrowed down TO q

HEARS POLE WAS
BEATEN TO DEATH
Sheriff CASTOR and Deputies Busy
Trying To Run Down Murder
Rumor.

Rumors that a young Detroit Pole,
named Skrzyski, said to live some
place on Thirty-third-st.. had died
from the effects OF beating received
at a picnic in West Wyandotte on
lDecoration day, kept Sheriff CASTOR
and his deputies busy, Wednesday,
but they were unable TO And either
the corpse or the man who Is said to
have been killed.
The sheriff has learned that there
was picnic given by a number OF
Poles at Joe Barnowski's saloon and
beer garden in West Wyandotte,
which broke up In free-for-all fight.
Skrzysh was attacked by Joseph
Podzat and Leo Somkowski, and ter
ribly beaten, II is said He fed to the
yard of Rural Mail Carrier George
Perry, where the men caught him,
felled him with a blow from club
and then jumped upon him. Perry
was attracted by the row and drove
the Poles assailants away. He took
the injured man into the house, wash
ed his wounds and then placed him
on a car for Detroit. Perry said the
man was fearfully beaten, and would
doubtless have been killed but for his
interference.
The report reached the sheriff. We'd
nesday, that the man had died In his
home on Thirty-third-st., but deputies
were unable to find any such man on
that street and all the Poles qucs-
toned professed to know nothing OF

who is serving on the Wayne circuit

II is freely reported In the down-river

are still investigating. No report Of
