MAY CHASE HOUSEHOLDS
FROM BELLE ISLE SHORES
Park Commissioner Learns He Has
Power to Keep Craft Moving
Around Island.

House-boat owners who have been
spending their summers around the
edges of Belle Isle. will be compelled
to move, IL the opinion given by Cor
poration Counsel Walter Barlow to
Park Commissioner Hurlbut, Friday,
Is not overruled.
Attorney Barlow holds that the COM
mission has full power over these
boats, as the city, as owner OF Belle
Isle, Is classed as riparian owner
and has title to the land under the
water clear to the center Of the
stream. Attorney Barlow holds that.
while the city can not prevent the
house boats from cruising In the
waters as close to shore as Is desired,
when they are left at anchor they be-
come trespassers on city property.
Commissioner Hurlbut has long
sought means to control the house
boats, because they mar the land
scape and are alleged to pollute the
water above the bathing basin. Some
time ago, he appealed to the United
States district attorney, but nothing
was found In the federal statutes
which would touch the case.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 16.-The
state today rested its case In the trial

bezzling $4,000 from the Big Four
railroad, when II became known that
Mrs. Jeanette Stewart Ford, who col
dapsed yesterday when forced to bare
her past life on the witness stand,
would likely be too III for some time to
be recalled to the stand.
Until Mrs. Ford was brought into
court In an invalid.s chair to testify I'm
the present case, she had been In the
hospital since her own trial ayear ago
on the charge Of using her knowledge
OF the shortage Of former Big Four
Treasurer Charles Warmer. sentenced
to six yeers for embezzling $642. 900,
for blackmail purposes. This with the
collapse of yesterday has caused fears
to be entertained as to her ultimate
recovery.
Cooke. who Is alleged to have given
$4,000 Of his peculations to Mrs. Ford,
is expected to take the stand today
In his own defense.

the trust, the four brothers received
s750,G00 In trust certificates"
subsequently we sold these trust
certificates at about $40" admitted
Oxnard, acknowledging profit OF
100000 on the transaction.
He did not know how much Of the
stock or g iilcates issued by the
trust was l.ter.
There were $750,000 in certificates
issued to cover a plant worth $2c0,

were exchanged dollar for dollar, SO

minutes after he had faced q firing

of Mexican rebels, orders reached
Culiacan from the insurgent headquar-
ters to spare the life Of Col. Morelos.
former federal commander Of Sinaloa

Diego Redo, former governor Of that
state. today revealed this fact and
also asserted that two days before his
execution Morelos was granted the
great cross OF the First Military Order
of Mexico. an honor which has been
granted to only four men In Mexican
history.
When Culiacan surrendered, Redo
declared, the rebel commanders pledg-
ed protection TO Morelos and his chief
of stan. This pledge was violated fnr
mediately after the surrender and
Morelos was taken before q firing
SQUAD. After the bandage had been
adjusted over his eyes, he realized
that the officer commanding the mr.

the bandage and said: There 10 mo-

Morelos dropped the bandage over
his eyes, folded his arms across his
breast and said calmly: Il am

FROM LAST YEAR
Big Increase in Assessment, Horo
That Thirty Millions, Holds Dow

Allowed by Estimators.
Mayor Says Rate Would Have Besl
Reduced To $3.50 Had Halley's
Advice Been Followed.

Detroits tax rate will be sls.16 on
each $1,000 OF assessment
This was ascertained by Chief
Clerk Saunders and Accountant
Gregg. In the city assessors once
shortly before o'clock Friday, when
the total valuation OF city property for
city assessment purposes was found
to be S402 2,652,010. The figures are
an increase Of more than $30,O00. 900
over last years, which were y372.-

In the history OF Detroit, not except
ing years when largest increases have
been made In territory.
Besides the property assessabie for
city purposes. is property OF the d. u.
r. amounting to 1861, 900, assessable
for state and county purposes only.
The city budget on which the tax
rate Is computed is 1871. .161-3 81.
Mayor Thompson declares that had
his advice been Needed In trimming
this budget to within the limits set by
Corporation Counsel Hally's opinion.
the sum OF $755,000 would have been
eliminated, and the rate would have
been $3.50. which he promised the
city In his campaign speeches.
That the assessment OF city prop
erty was so large, saving the city from
the predicted $3.50 tax rate, Is due
largely to the efforts of President
John c. Nagel, OF the board OF asses
sors, who made a phenomenal in
crease In the eastern district He
was assisted by Assessor Plass in the

piled to dainty Miss Stone for some
hamburger sandwiches. She made
them all right and when she served
them, some question arose as 10 their
ancestry and previous condition Of
servitude. The young lady naturally
defended the character OF her goods.
That was the inception of g small

head with a .broomstick, and sundry
ether untoward happenings.
Mr.. Cahill, Mr.. Shamley and Will

the passionate bon mot to Miss Stone
managed to escape, after the officer
had been knocked down.
Leo Romansky, fireman from River

said that he held some Of the
rioters at bay with a revolver.
Mrs. Mary Nieder, engaged in the
