Police Commissioners Croul issued a
few sizzling statements, Friday, anent
the enforcing Of the amended automo-
bile ordinance and other matters re-
quiring police attention.
II auto drivers are laboring under
any delusions that there will be just
a lukewarm administration Of these
matters, they'd better confer with the
head OF the police department.
The auto ordinance and all sections
Of the traffic ordinance will be enforc-
ed,' said the commissioner, with an
unmistakable accent upon the will.
am In an awkward position just now,
because the amended ordinance Is not
vet in effect. But we are going ahead
and make complaints now, because IL
we let them 90 ahead week, they'll
get the upper hand OF the officers and
II will be . hard matter TO check them
when we do, start.
: Automobiles will be forced to keep
the required distance OF six feet from
the car Tracks and men will be sta
toned at railroad crossings to enforce
the section regarding autos going half
speed over crossings. And another
thing, the section referring to noisy
mufflers will be rigidly enforced. The
place to test spark plugs and other
devices Is In the garage and these out
landish noises will not be tolerated
on the streets"
The commissioners also intends to
direct his activity against bicychsts,
who do not equip their machines with
lights. He says that he personally
counted 100 of these, Thursday night.
Persons who are prone to a prema-
ture celebration of the Fourth of July
are also incurring the commissioner s
displeasurc. He has directed his men
to complain against persons throwing
firecrackers in the street.

SAYS HUSBAND
LOVE WAS STOLEN
Mrs. Blanche P. Warner Sues Mrs.
Leslie Clemens and Daughter,
Alleging Alienation.

Mrs. Blanche Peck Warner, of Chi
cago, has begun suit In the Wayne
circuit court against Mrs. Leslie
Clemens and her beautiful young
daughter, Miss Madeline Clemens, for
alternating the affections of her for
mer husband, Charles Warner, a
salesman for the Edison Illuminating
Co. Mrs. Warner asks $60,0C0 from
both mother and daughter.
The suit was started by summons
by Attorneys McHugh and Gallagher,
and reserve was secured on the two
women at their luxurious rooms in
the Pontchartrafn hotel where they
have lived for some time.
According to Mrs. Warner, Miss
Clemens won the affections OF Mr.
Warner although both she and her
mother knew that he was a married
man.
Mrs. Clemens says neither she nor
her daughter became acquainted with
Warner until after he was divorced.
Mrs. Warner comes of a wealthy
family in Chicago, and she is now liv-
ine there with her mother. Warner
came here after his wife obtained a
divorce from him.
Mrs. and Miss Clemens and Warner
declare that the suit is being brought
for spite. According to Mrs. Clemens,
Mrs Warner is only trying TO get
some Of her money, knowing the de-
PENDANTS are wealthy. Mrs. Clemens
and daughter formerly lived In Bay
City, Mich, and are well-known here.
