AUTO RUNS DOWN AND
KILLS SCHOOL BOY

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, Nov. A.
While playing near St. Mary's paro-
chial school yesterday afternoon
Clarence Wolvin, nine years old, son
OF George 'Wolvin, was struck by an
automobile driven by Nicholas
Biewer The lad died in St. Joseph
sanitarium soon afterward from a
fractured skull.
Witnesses say Blewer was driving
at rate not 10 exceed 10 miles an
hour and was not to blame for the
fatal accident. He assisted in car
ing for the lad, then drove away.
The street upon which the Catho-
lie school is situated is one of the
busiest in the city. There being no
playground attached to the school,
the 700 children are obliged TO play
in the street or upon neighboring
lawns for want of better place.
There have been many narrow es-
capes upon the same spot where
young Wolvin met his death, but
this is the first fatality.

cigarmakers, in their meeting. Friday

municipal ownership. The building
trades, which have 5000 union men
enlisted, have followed suit.
"The attitude of union men all over
the city is for municipal ownership OF

an election.
And the sentiment undoubtedly is
that the union men of Detroit will be

the d. u r. q franchise.
The wave OF sentiment, locally, for
municipal ownership, has had won
derful growth, recently, but 1t is,
think, a local demonstration OF ma
tion-wide awakening OF the people.

HURLSSELF TO DEATH FROM
FOURTH-STORy WINDOW
William Christman, "Down and
Out" Ends Life at the
Morgan House.

| William Christman, penniless
boarder at the Morgan house, Cass
and Bagley-aves., put a sensational
end TO all his earthly troubles, at day
break, Saturday, by leaping from the
window of his room on the fourth
floor OF the hotel.
Shortly afterward his battered
body was found on the stone sidewalk,
on the Bagley-ave. side OF the build
ing. He had landed on his head on
the walk and his skull was crushed
like an egg-shell. Death probably
came instantly.
Christman was 2S years old. He
was discouraged and broken-hearted.
Recently he had lost a position with
the Peoples Quitting Co. Boarders
in the Morgan house say that he has
been drinking heavily. He was with
out funds and had no immediate pros
poets OF acquiring any
Friday night, he talked great deal
of suicide Before he retired, he told
the clerk of the hotel that II any
thing should happen to him, his sister,
Miss A. G. Christman, could be found
at No. 4412 Pennsylvania-ave., st.
Louis, Mo.
He borrowed a razor from G.. X.
Wilson, another roomer. His actions
were so peculiar, however, that the
clerk took the razor from him. Christ
man bathed. Friday night, and care
fully Strengthened up his room, No.
67. Through the night, he was very
nervous and several times, IL was
necessary TO send some person to his
room TO quiet him.
He owed two weeks board to the
hotel. When his clothing was
searched, a single nickel was found
in the pockets. His body was first
discovered by woman, who was on
her way to work.
Police Surgeon Thomas and Detec-
tive Wilson went to the scene. The
coroners office was notified and the
body has been removed to the county
morgue.
Coroner Rothacher has notified the
sister, in st. Louis. by telegraph. The
coroner thinks there is room for
doubt that Christmanc ommitted sui

seized with nausea through the night
and arose several times. The window
is low and the coroner thinks he may
nave fallen over the sill and into the
street.

ATROCITIES BY ITALY IN

FRAME VIGOROUS PROTEST
Notes Have Been Exchanged
With a View of Demanding
That Barbarities Stop.
BRITAIN LEADS THE MOVE.
Correspondents Confirm Stories
of Barbarities Despite Pre-
mier Giollotti's Denials.

LONDON, Nov. 4-Italian cruelties
in Tripoli, and the Wholesale mas
sacre of men, women and children
now beine engaged in by the Italian
troops in northern Africa may lead
very shortly to a concerted demand
by the powers that Italy observe the
rules OF civilized warfare.
Some OF the European powers have
sent notes, sounding the continental
governments on their attitude in max
ing a formal demand that these bar
barities cease and then to force COM
pEance with this demandwith armed
strength. II necessary.
The powers which admit their abb
soiute horror at the massacres by the
Italians point to the American war
with Spain as ample precedent for
an armed demand that Italy at least
observe the properties Of decent war
fare. AS one OF the signatories to the
Geneva treaty, which insures non
combantants immunity from death
and prisoners of war freedom from
torture Italy has placed herself in a
position of having violated every
clause of that humane document.
Premier Giollottis denials Of Ital-
ian atrocities in Tripoli, have failed
utterly to eradicate the impression
that no civilized power has ever
waged such terrible slaughter under
the guise of war. English correspon-
dents who have returned from Africa
have set England afiame with their
stories OF slaughter and rapine of in
nocent men and women. Parliament
has heard the matter discussed, when
c. Leach. member from Yorkshire,
inquired of Foreign Secretary Sir Ed
ward Gray II he would not use his
good Offices to prevent a repetition
of the Saturnalia of slaughter. Gray
deprecated the question as giving Of

of the firm of BRILL BROTH

the Sphinx Club, in the presence
of myself and the gentlemen sit

Speaking to me directly, Mr..
Brill said:
more than two years ago you
came into my office and told me
YOU thought one Of the reasons
our business was not growing as
we thought it should was because

was a doubt in the minds of the
people about the advantages of
buying specially advertised suits
