ed by School Inspector G. M. Burton,
In meeting OF the special committee.
headed by Inspector Charles r. Rob-
ertson, appointed by President Kuhn,
OF the board OF education, to investi-
gate the frat" question.
Mr.. Burton declared that the fra
ternities generally should not be con-
demned for the faults of the few bad
ones, and that the bad ones should
be disciplined. He stated that four
of his children are members of fra
|ternities, and he characterized the
latter as nothing more than whole
some social societies" The fratern-
tiles we're also defended by Frank d.

and G. K. Baxter, who has a son in
one of the high school "frats."
Chairman Robertson will prepare a

REPULsED LOVER
CROWS DESPERATE
Youth, First Romance Punctured,
Has Sanguinary Program Which
Includes Couple Of Killings.

Peter Pankowicz is a very discon-
solate young man. The only love af-
fair that has ever come into his
young life brought him and his ador-
ed one into police court, Tuesday
morning. The adored one Is May
krause, OF No. SO Ruby-st. She Is a
very svelt miss, and wears upon her
shapely head creation embellished
with just the cutest little rosebuds
anyone ever did see.
May declares that Peter is too ar.
dent In his love making. The follow.
Ing Is rather incomplete list of the
things that Peter threatened to do
Monday, when he found his oyertures
repulsed: He wanted to kill the lady
and kill himself. He wanted to let
her live and end his own agony by
drinking the contents of bottle
which he waved dramatically before
her eyes. He wanted to exterminate
Patrolman Ernest Knaak, who arrest
ed him. Then he wanted to live and
let live and decided IL would be bet
ter IL he went far away.
Patrolman Knaak made an examin
alton Of the contents of the bottle
and found IT contained nothing but
cheap whisky.
The young man was still very in
consolable, when Police Justice Stein
questioned him, Tuesday. He said
he did not know whether he would
commit suicide or not. The judge
asked May II there was no chance
sor reconciliation. She replied with
a nonchalant wave of the rosebuds
that she reckoned there wasn't and
the only conditions under which she
would wed Peter would be that she
be allowed to carry a healthy club
to the altar with her.
The case was adjourned until the
judge has time to attempt to get the
warning parties together.

THOMPSON JACKS
UP HAARER ON
BRICK BIDS
Al Result Of Big Four Co.'s Charge
of Unfairness Commissioner Will
Be Required To Apply "Rattler"
and Absorption" Tests.
Mayor Won't Veto Contracts Be-
cause Protesting Firm Declines
To Meet Terms.

While Mayor Thompson has decided
not TO exercise the veto power Win
respect TO the brick contracts AWARD
ed by Public Works Commissioner
Haarer and confirmed by the council
last Tuesday night, the protest or the
Big Four Brick Co., through the De
troit Brick Sales Co., that II did not
receive fair play, is nevertheless bear
ing fruit.
The mayor sent for Commissioners
Haarer Tlesday morning. and tney
went over the brick situation at
length. AS result of the confer
ence. Haarer has agreed TO purchase
a rattler for testing all bricks pur-
chased by the city and will also sub'
NIT them TO the absorption test. The
rattler test as well as the other will
be made after the bricks have been
delivered on the streets by the con-
tractors, the bricks being picked from
the piles at random.
A rattler Is a machine consisting OF
a hollow cube, in which the bricks
are placed and ratified around when
the cube revolves at rapid rate. The
test allows for breakage OF 20 per
cent. IL any OF the bricks show n
greater abrasion than this, the partic-
ular lots represented will be rejected.
Commissioner Haarer was author
lied by the council more than a year
ago to purchase a rattler and the
money, $3.50, was transferred from the
House of Correction fund for that pur-
pose, but the rattler was never pur-
chased. He is still holding the money
for that purpose.
In the absorption OF water test. the
absorption must not exceed per
cent.
Mayor Thompson will not be con-
tent with these tests, however he
plans to check up the local testers
occasionally by sending samples OF
brick to Cleveland, Cincinnati, and
other cities to be tested by their ma
chimes.
Every large city is doing that
now" said the mayor, "and | can SEQ
no reason why Detroit should not get
in line"
The mayor stood ready to veto the
contracts provided the Detroit Brick
Sales Co. put its charges In the form
of affidavits and put up bond Oh

TRIES TO EXPLAIN
SWEET M|ss|vEs
Mrs. Gardner's Love Letters To Man
She Now Accuses of Theft, Prove
a Bit Embarrassing.

John H. Stair, one-armed Lothario,
is fighting a brave battle in police
court these days. He Is charged by
Mrs. Blanche Gardner with having
taken two diamond rings from her at
the point of a revolver, which she
says he held to her face with his one
good hand.
Mrs. Gardner is making desper-
ate fight herself, trying to prove that
she at no time played the role OF
Psyche to Mr.. Stairs Cupid. In the
face of bundle of love-lorn missives
signed by her and now in the pos
session of Stair, she is having some
difficulty. Some of the letters were
produced in Police Justice Jenries'
court, Tuesday morning.
She fervently declares that she In
dIcted the letters, merely TO Keep on
good terms with stair, so she could
eventually get back her jewels. But
Mr.. Stair declares that IL she desired
to keep friendly with him, she should
not have written poetry to him.
He says Mrs. Gardner has followed
him all over the country, that he has
spent $4,000 on her In the last four
years, and that she was the means of
separating him from his wife. He
says that on one occasion, his wife
threw scalding water over Mrs.
Gardner.
Mrs. Gardner insists that the love-
making was all on Stairs part, and
that she had to flee from him, when
they were in Lorain, Ohio. The buxom
Mrs. Gardner owns up to few matri-
monial adventures herself. She says
her maiden name was Blanche May
Weaver and that five years ago, she
married one Edward Baldwin. She en-
dured Edward three whole months
and was then divorced.
Mrs. Gardners letters bear several
references to n certain "Bes-
sy'' and the court experienced great
difficulty in determining whether
"Bessy" Is a person or a dog. When
Stair said that he frequently purchas-
ed gum for "Bessy," the court con-
cluded that perhaps after all, she
wasn't a dog. Also Uncle Tom"
was referred to in an off-hand way
and II developed that Uncle Tom" Is
one of Mrs. Gardner's female friends.
Justice Jeffries adjourned the case
until Feb 28.
