SLAUGHTER FLIES
TRAINED INSECTS HAVE MORTAU
COMBAT AT STATE
FAIR.

A little aftermath OF the State Fair
was that which bsfell the trained dies.
The man who had the trained fiiss
in charge, and who had spent. many
weary months in putting them
through the various stunts common
to trained fiies, placed his tent near
that occupied By the trained fieas.
As Is well known by savants, train
ed flies and trained neas are not fond
OF each other. As q matter OF fact
common. ordinary neas detest COM
mon ordinary fiies. They never can
get along together.
SO upon this occasion. the fieAs
learning that the flies were In an adj
Joining booth. surreptitiously crspt In
by stealthy jumps. and when the files
were not looking, did then and there
assault them with murderous intent.
When the last entertainment wxs to

who had the Mes privilege. found
most Of his pets writhing In the throes
of death.

BARNETT. WARMLY
DEFENDS BUDGET
Replies To Mayor During Estimators'
Visit To Eloise; Presented With
Silver Mounted Gavel.

Exchange OF fluctuations between
city officials and members of the
board OF county superintendents OF
the poor, the presentation OF silver.
mounted gavel to President Edward
Barnett, OF the board OF estimates,
and an inspection of one OF the model
poor farms OF the country, were
features OF the annual visit OF the
board of estimates to Eloise, Thurs
day afternoon.
The Detroit party comprised nearly
on, including besides the estimators
number OF city officials and two
ministers, the Rev. Myron A. Adams,
who went to gather ideas for the
Ford Republic. in which he is inter.
ested, and the Rev. Edward Collins,
who went as chaplain OF the party.
Harry II. Prenzlauer, secretary of
the poor commission, chaperoned the
party, assisted by waiter anu a tub
full OF ginger ale.
The members OF the board of sup
erintendents, with DR.. Marker, sup
erintendent, and Dr. Henry j. Hartz
and DR.. L. l.. Shurly. who are inter
ested In the tuberculosis work at the
farm, met the party.
The whole delegation was taken
through the buildings of the farm.
Particular interest was manifested in
the new open air tuberculosis hos
pital, which is about ready for oc-
cupahcy. This hospital, or shack,
stands across the street from the
main buildings. II is enclosed on the
north, east and west, with tight walls
and large windows, but Is open on the
south, with only a curtain for use in
case OF storm, There Is a corridor
along the enclosed side, in which are
dressing rooms and shower baths,
but the intention is that the patients
shall live practically out of doors.
The first tuberculosis building,
erected at the instance OF DR.. Z. l..
Shurly, is still in use, and several
patients are accommodated in tents.
Dr. Shurly was highly complimented
by the visitors for his foresight.
The institutions herd Of 100 regis
tered Holstein cattle was much ad-
mired, II is one OF the finest herds
in the United States, and the sale of
blooded stock is one OF the resources
OF the farm.
The visitors who cared to go were
taken through the dormitory build
ings, all the inmates being attired
in best bib and tucker for the visit.
President Barnett found old Mary
lowering, long a familiar figure to
police reporters, because of her love
OF liquor. Mary was lying on little
cot In the invalids' ward, and was
about the most cheerful soul in the
institution. She greeted Eddie cor
daily and inquired about old friends.
When he left, she was looking at a
bright silver quarter, which the
estimator had slipped to her.
The gavel was given President
Barnett at luncheon served by the
superintendent, the presentation be-
ing made by Estimator Wobrock, who
is picked for his successor. In re
plying, President Barnett made a
swooping defense OF the tax budget

said that the poor women in shawls
who had been pitied by the mayer
received a return In the fact thar
teachers and city employees were TO
be paid better this year, and that the
children OF the Bishop school neigh
borhood, where the percentage OF
shawled women was highest, would
have a playground away from the
street car tracks.

poor board. and Estimators Porter.

PERE MARQUETTE !.
WATCHMAN SHOT
Curtis Clark Trailing Quartet Of Car
Thieves When Fired 0n-Injuries
Probably Fatal.

AS the result of surprising four men
while they were apparently planning
to break into loaded freight cars In
the Pere Marquette railway yards, at
the foot OF Twelfth-st., late Thursday
night, Curtis Clark, night Waterman
and special officer for the railroad,
was shot and perhaps fatally injur-
cd. One bullet plowed through the
left side OF his abdomen, puncturing
internal organs. Another also pierced
the same part of the body, but did
less damage. His condition is critical.
He Is conscious. but Is so weak from
loss OF blood and shock that he can
scarcely speak above a whisper. Not
much hope Is held out for his recoy-
cry
Clark saw the men acting SUSPECT
ously and he watched them from a
dark spot under the viaduct at
Twelfth-st.. for some time. Finally
they detected him and, doubtless fear
ing arrest, came up and pounced on
him. One, without a moments warn
ing, drew his revolver and fired two
shots at Clark, both taking effect.
Clark Immediately sank to the ground
Dul uiduc dh chOEt W mutt HIS hcoihb
assailants by firing two shots from
his own revolver. Neither OF the bull
lets took effect: at least. there was
no sign OF blood about the tracks to
show that anyone aside from Clark
had been shot.
Clark called for help and his cries
were heard by a car repairer. The
latter notified Yardmaster John Dor
