Investigating.

A handful OF bones. the remains,
presumably. OF q human being, werc
discovered under pile OF lime, about
five and onehalf feet long, In a dense
underground on the Detroit shore OF
Crosse lie, Wednesday afternoon. by
WBilliam G.. Goodchild, of Amherst
burg. Mr.. Goodchiid notified the
sheriff's Office and Sheriff CASTOR has
detailed officers to investigate. II a
crime was committed, however, there
is little likelihood that the perpe-
traitor viii ever be discovered or that
the victim will ever be known. The
body may have lain here several
years. although the spot where the
bones were found, Is only 200 feet
from the Michigan Central railroad
track on Crosse lie, and about midway
between the Crosse lie station and
the railroad bridge.
One OF the pieces Of bone looks like
a human tooth. There was no metal
of any kind In the lime and no traces
Of hair or clothing. these having been
eaten away by the lime, Il Is thought.
Under the pile Of lime was layer OF
bark.
Close to the mound where the
charred embers OF a fire, piece Of
broken glass, which might have been
part Of bottle or drinking glass was
also found near by.
Mr.. Goodchild made the discovery
while cutting timber for stakes.

LOSES BOOK FIGHT
Court Decides That Body Has No
Right To Engage in Sale
To Students.

The board OF education cannot On.

the high school pupils without author.
ity from the legislature.
This was decided by Judges Hos.
mer and Murfin. Thursday morning,
when, after listening to arguments OF
the attorneys representing the board
or education and j. v. SheehRn and
J. Il. Macanley. bookdealers, they
made permanent the temporary IN
| junction granted some days ago re
.straining the board from engaging In
the sale of books to pupils.
The case was frat brought by the
complainants In their own names and
without the consent OF the attorney
general Wednesday morning the
judges decided that the consent OF
the encouragement to the suit was
necessary, and gave the complainants
until Friday to gain that consent. Mr..
Kuhn was found Wednesday after.
noon, and after the facts I'm the case
had been laid before him, he con
sented to the use of his name. and
arguments were continued.
Assistant Corporation Counsel At

fare clause In the school board char.
ter, the board had the right to do any
thing to advance the cause OF educa'
ton. He claimed that the testimony
showed conclusively that combina-
ton existed between the two com
plainants to maintain the price OF
text books, It having been admitted
by them that each ordered half the
books required for the school term,
and that they sold at the, same price.
"If that welfare clause In the char
ter means what Il says, the board hns
every right to sell books to pupils al
reasonable price, and II the clause
does not mean that II is useless" Mr.
Atkinson declared. Surely Il ID for
the advancement of education for
pupils to procure books at fair and
reasonable price, and not at the ex
orbitant figure asked by these com.
plainants.
Mr.. Atkinson quoted from a num-
Der Of cases showing that the supreme
court had decided several times that
under the welfare clause the board
OF education had charge OF pupils not
only In school, but after school hours
The board had the right to suppress
"frats." he claimed. because IL was
for the advancement of education.
Surely IL the board Of education
can regulate the life OF pupil In school
and out, say what his social life shall
be, say what societies he can join and
what he must keep out OF, surely the
board can, after the pupil has reached
school, supply him with the very
tools he requires" was Mr.. Atkinsons
closing argument.
Mr.. Eaman, for the compliments
confined himself to the argument that
the undertaking as proposed by the
board of education, was hazardous
business enterprise liable to incur
loss. and required the pledging OF the
credit of the board, and was, there
fore, illegal.
In announcing their decision, Judge
Murfin said that he was In sympathy
with the move to secure cheaper text
hooks. but he felt that the plan adopt
ed was illegal without legislative au.
thority.
The case will be appealed-to the SUI
preme court at once.

Warrants Issued for Lewis and

Officer of Anti-vice Society Says Hes
Traced Filthy Cards To Detroit
After Three Years Work.

As a, sequel to the seizure of sever
al thousand obscene post cards, un-
der the authority of search war
rant, In the establishment Of the VOL
VERNE News Co., No. 81 Congress
ST., west, last Saturday. warrants
have been issued against Louis and
Frank Grosscup, proprietors of the
concern, charging them with printing
and selling obscene literature.
G. w. Arnold, of Minneapolis, super
intendent of the Northwestern Soci-
ETY. for the Prevention of Vice. Is the
man behind the prosecution Of the
Grosscups. These warrants mark the
end Of search that has been going
on for more than three years and
has taken Mr.. Arnold into q dozen
cities and through a number Of states.
THE cards Of the sort seized last
Saturday first came TO my attention
In Minneapolis In 1908," said M. Arm

Isacrilegious that made up my mind

source, no matter how long 1T took
or how much II cost. have had many
retail dealers arrested for selling the
cards, but they would never tell
where they got them. The trail final

to put an end to the sale OF such lit

The war on indecent postcards is
only a small part of Mr.. Arnolfs 9
work. He has been the means OF
putting out OF business no less than

has secured legislation in seven states
including Michigan, against the pub

An amalgamation OF the two organi.

were without result. The real seed
was sown last spring when represen.

would not interfere. At that time Mr..
Zenner expressed the hope that the
two forces would some day be brought
together under one head.
With that meeting whatever fric-

organizations vanished, and since then
everything has been working toward
the amalgamation just announced. In
July, Secretary Wilson, Of the Board
