PRINCIPAL ELLIS is
SUSPENDED FOR DRINKING
Inspector Burton's Attempt To
Have Teacher Discharged
Fails For Present. #

+ Principal William A. Ellis, or the
Dufield school, was suspended by the
board OF education, pending further
action, Thursday night, after q mo.
ton to discharge him, made by In.
spector G. M. Burton, was voted down,
8 to 8.
The Ellis case occupied the atten.
ton of the board for about an hour.
and once II became necessary to take
recess to give the committee on
teachers an opportunity to revise its
report.
The committees original report sim
ply reclted the fact that Principal El-
lis had been called before the com
mittee to explain his conduct OF last
Friday night, when he was arrested
on q charge OF drunkenness; that he
had been requested to resign and had
refused. The report made no recon.
mendation whatever.
\ The committee would have gladly
cast the mantle OF charity over Mr.
Ellis action IL II had felt that II could
do so with justice TO the public" said
DR.. Hugh Cary, the chairman.
DIR. McAlichael, Inspector from the
Fourth ward, urged that the board
simply punish Ellis by suspending him
for q year.

WOMAN CLAIMS SHE WAS
STUNG IN STOCK DEAL

Isaac N. Aldrich, former Detroit
preacher, Is being sued by Anna M.
Miller, of Adrian, in Judge Donvan's
court, for the return OF 500 shares in
the General Founders Co., which she
gave him for stock in the Marengo
Portland Cement Co. She charges
fraud and misrepresentation Mrs.
Miller owned $4,000 worth OF Gen
Ieral Founders stock. which she says
was paying IL per cent dividend.
She says Aldrich visited her home
in 1910 and negotiated for a loan,
but she was unable to make II as
her money was tied up. Then, she
says, Aldrich offered to trade $4,000
worth of Marengo Cement stock for
her block Of Federal Founders stock,
stating that he had to have money
to save his property. He claimed at
that time, she says, that his stock
was more valuable, but the General
Founders stock would sell better as
the company was better known. The
deal was made, and Mrs. Miller says
she soon found out that the cement
stock was worth about Is cents a
share, instead of 81, and she was ask
ed to contribute cash to prevent the
foreclosing of mortgage on the ce-
ment plant. Aldrich, in his answer,
makes a complete denial.

The state insisted that the fact that
James b. Mcnamara is q member OF

mine whether the venire is opposed to

The defense is highly pleased over
the announcement that the state grand
jury which has been in session for q
year, will finally dissolve this after
noon. McNamara's attorneys openly
assert that this would not have been
brought about had not they fled with
the court affidavits demanding q
