Atwood writes:
"At first thought there would appear
to be Gem petition among the different
companies on Que occasion at least,
that is, when railroad contract ex-
pires. But unfortunately there is COM
petition only as TO which company
will pay the railroads most for the pri-
vilege. Consequently the big er the
payment more the public must he
charged to enable the express com pany
to make the large profits to which 1t is
accustomed. Indeed, the public is
better off when there is least expiration
of contracts, for the railroads are de-
maDding more each year from the ex-
press companies. Formerly the rail-
roads did not expect more than 40 per
cent, of the gross receipts where the
business was heavy, whereas now So

The young man first signed as a

TRIES TO RESCUE
SON; BOTH DROWN
Charles Royden and l0-Year-0ld Lad
Lose Lives in River at Foot Of
Twenty-fourth-st.

With help close by. Charles Rhoden,
OF No. IA Lysander-st.. and his 10.
year-old son. Frank, were drowned.
In the river at the foot OF Twenty.
fourth-st., Sunday afternoon. An.
other son, Robert. aged is, made an
heroic effort to save his father and
his brother, but was unequal 10 the
task. One version OF the drowning
Is that the boy, Frank, fell in while
trying to rescue a dog, the canine
swimming ashore unassisted after the
boy and his father had sunk to their
deaths.
Mr.. Rhoden and his two sons went
to the river to fish early In the after
noon. When Frank fell in, the father
knowing that the boy couldn't swim.
jumped In after him and reached the
lad without difficulty. Supporting
Frank with one hand. Mr.. Rhoden
swan toward the dock with the other.
Robert. who is a good swimmer,
leaped into the river and pushed a
log toward his father who was then
close to the dock, holding his boy out
OF the water, with his own head sub
merged. The father was too weak TO
grasp the log, however, and with his
son sank to the bottom OF the river.
Robert says he felt hand grasp his
ankle as he chung to the log and was
nearly pulled loose.
Just after Mr.. Rhoden and his son
disappeared, Roy Mcdonald. No. BIS
Wabash-ave., came up In his motor
boat, but was too late to render any
aid. Patrolman Thomas Collop heard
the cries of the drowning lad and
reached the dock on a run. He sound
ed the river with a money wrench
tied to rope. In the hope that Mr..
Rhoden might grasp 1t II he were still
alive.
Harbormaster Ellison recovered the
bodies after an hours work and they
were removed to the county morguc.
Young Robert Rhoden was beside
himself with grief when he realized
what happened. He had clambored
ashore when the two disappeared, but
In his despair he would have thrown
himself into the river after them, had
he not been restrained.
Mr.. Rhoden Is survived by widow
and six children, three of them under
10 years old.

.S[AYER's FATE To
Be DECIDED TODAY
Prosecutor Will Determine Whether
H. / Hibbard, Who Killed
"Jack" Cole, Was Justified.

Whether Herbert ]. Hibberd wai
justified In shooting Jack Cole and
IL to escape prosecution will be de
clded some time today by Prosecutor
Van Zile. Assistant Prosecutor Aid
rich and Coroner Rothacher will get
q stenographic statement from Hib
berd and Albert West, who was with
Hibberd at the time of the shooting
and II will be presented TO the prose
cutor for consideration.
The tragedy occurred early Sunday
morning at Hibberd's home on the
Joy road, near Dexter boulevard
Greenfield township. Hibberd and his
wife were awakened by noise al
their bedroom window. Hibberd
thought burglar was trying to break
into the house and he went into an
other room, where West slept, to get
his revolver. He snapped the trig
ger at the marauder as the latter
stood on the outside, but the weapon
was empty. Then, he says, West put
! four cartridges in the revolver. Hib
berd then blazed away, killing the In.
truder, Cole, instantly. the bullet en-.
tering his temple.
] Cole was porter In the Hotel
Cadillac and had boarded with the
Hibberds when they lived at No. LA
Elghth-st., q year or 30 ago. He was
about 80 years old. He came out from
England few years ago and lived IN
Montreal for time before coming
| to Detroit.
Hibberd declares that Cole was in.
fatuated with the formers wife, and
