emy OF Aviation purposes, according
to Yunk, to give a student 46 lessons
for $25. A list of 35 questions on diff
ferent subjects relating to the art OF
flying, each constituting q lesson; will
be mailed to each student. The ques-
tions will be answered and returned
to Mr.. Yunk, who will correct the pa
pers. AS the. lessons progress, the
questions will become harder and will
enter more fully into the science.
Mr. Yunk exhibited list containing
the names Of 21 persons, many or
whom live In different states, who will
become students under him, he
says.
The list also coataiIs the csmes of
a large number OF ljctroiters who,
when eh,y have completed the AZ los
sons, will be given chance to prac-
tically demonstrate what they have
learned, Ly dying with Yunk here.
Yunk has been in aviator for 13
years. he says. He has made many
flights both In dirigibles and aero
planes In Europe and claims the dis.
tinction OF having been the teacher
OF Grahame-White, the wellknown
English aviator. He was also close
personal friend Of Moissant and Hox-
sey, the two aviators who We're killed
on the same day, one while flying
in New Orleans and the other in Los

for the audience while testifying.
Wednesday morning, in the case OF
DR.. X. G.. Boyajian, who shot and kill
ed his nephew, Hartoon Gostanian.
Wellman was In the police court

when DR.. Boyajian did the shooting.
What did you do when the doctor
fred the shots?" asked Attorney
Hunt of Wellman.
Il jumped over the rail and ski
dooed from the court" Wellman an
swered.
The reply caused laugh among
the spectators, and Court Omcer
Tommy" Burke raped for order.
Where did you go when you ran
from the court?' Prosecutor Van
Zile later queried of Wellman.
II ran into the hall, but three or
four policeman beat me to IT," was
Wellman's reply.
The court room was again convuls-
ed, and Officer Burke had to sound
his gavel once more.

Prosecutor Van Zile objected to the
remark, and Judge Connolly ordered
It stricken from the court record.
A little later, In answer to asques
tion from Attorney Hurt, Welifhan said
that Boyajian seemed more like q

The prosecutor interposed an objec'
tion to the phrase, at the same time
rebuking Wellman for making the re-
mark in view of the ruling of the
court on his statement concerning his

TO TEST PRIMARY LAW.
Mrs. Osborn Thinks Denial Of Votes
To Women Unconstitutional.

Mrs. f. c. Osborn. who is promin-
emily identified with the equal suf-
frage movement in Detroit, plans to
test the present primary law, which
denies women the right to vote, with
a view to having 1t declared unconstl-
tutional
Mrs. Osborn visited the booth in
the ninth precinct OF the Second
ward, in which she resides, Tuesday
afternoon, and demanded that she be
permitted TO vote. AS she had an
ticipated. the chairman OF the board
denied her that privilege. Thus hav-
ing laid the foundation for her suit,
Mrs. Osborn took the names of all the
members of the board and 1t Is said,
Immediately consulted an attorney.
II Mrs. Osborn should succeed in
having the present law declared un
constitutional, 1t would be necessary
for the legislature to pass another
law. The present house passed the
Flowers bill, designed to amend the
law SO as to permit the women to
vote, but the bill was killed in the
senate through the influence of the
school board machine.

BAXTER S FRIENDS
SET UP LOUD HOWL
Want Vote of Precinct in First Ward
Thrown Out Because Count Was
Started Too Soon. Va

AS a result of the election boards q
action in starting to count the votes
before the polls were closed, an inter
esting situation has developed In the
school board primary in the First
ward, where. on the face OF the re-
turns, Samuel c. Mumford was re-
nominated for school inspector over
Charles f. Baxter. by a majority of
"a. Baxter's friends are talking re-
count strongly, declaring that the en-
tire vote from the tenth precinct
should be thrown out This would
give the nomination to Baxter. for
Mumford received about four votes
To his one in this precinct, comprising
choice residence section. a.
An off-hand opinion from the cor
poration counsel's Office to Mr.. Num-
ford is that the precinct boards ac-
ton would not invalidate the entire
vote OF the precinct. but would prob
ably affect only the votes received
after the boxes had been opened.
However, Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Atkinson is looking into the ques-
ton and will give a definite opinion
during the afternoon.
II is believed, however, that the
Baxter supporters will go slowly when
they contemplate the returns from the
First precinct of the First, Billy
Bushaw's notorious stamping ground,
where Baxter received 1856 votes to
Mumford's 3. Bushaw told the "antis"
repeatedly that Mumford would get
square deal this time. When School
Inspector Goldberg visited the booth,
at II o'clock, Tuesday morning,
Bushaw told him that 1T was all
Mumford" and that everything was
looking great. Goldberg, accordingly,
was somewhat surprised when he
came to look at the returns from the
first precinct.
The Baxter men do not go so far
as to charge any fraud in the court
In the Tenth precinct The members
Of the board are all estimable men
and IL they committed an error 1t was
plainly an error of the head. The OBJ
ject, as one member explains, was
merely to save time, and 1t did not
occur to any of the members, appar-
emily, that there was any legal OBJ
lection to starting the count a little

with a Frenchy shrug Of his shoulders.
. According TO Mr.. Yunk, he plans to
make flights every Sunday this sum-

flights will likely cover Belle Isle and
the downtown section Of Detroit.
He says this is not his first expert

politicians by the wholesale commits
sion of perjury" hampered the work

chisement for a second offense.

MAYOR MAKES PATHETIC
PLEA FOR POOR PEDDLER
Asks School Teachers To See That
No Annoyance Is Offered by
Pupils.

Mayor Thompson Is sending to the
of all the schools In the
city, both public and parochial let
ter, which might be termed, allitera-
lively, plea for the poor peddler.
Complaints have reached his ears,
through the Hebrew Peddlers' asso-
citation, that peddlers are greatly an
noyed by school children and the
mayor is asking the teachers to take
the matter up with their pupils In
nice way" His letters say, In part:
The calling of the Hebrew
peddler Is very humble one;
much bitterness enter his life;
many trials and tribulations beset
him. and his struggle for exist
ence is continuous; still, he has
a right to exist, and his small,
very small comforts are assured
him py right OF his citizenship.
Will you not take special in
terest in his behalf? Will you not
please plead his cause with your
youthful charges? Here are
few subjects you might discourse
upon The right Of the Hebrew
peddler to live;" Every stone
should not have its billet"
Some uses to which snow and Ice
should be put to, etc.
| am sending these letters to
public as well as parochial
schools, and trust that they Will
be received in the spirit which
they are sent, and that you will
make an extra effort to stamp
out wicked practice.
Cordially yours,
WILLIAM b. THOMPSON,
Mayor.
