CAPT. FLETCHER
KILLED IN FIRE
Crushed Under Falling Walls When

late Saturday afternoon, entaiiing q
loss OF upwards OF $50, 900. covered by
insurance. Capt. Levi t. Fletcher, Of
engine company No. II. was caught
under falling wall and instantly kill
ed. II was nearly an hour later that
members OF his company. missing the
captain. found his body buried be-
meath a fence. which had been car
ried down with the wall.
The IRE started In An old frame shop
adjoining the more modern brick fac
tory building which the company used
as Its main plant. Capt. Fletcher and
his men took up their position In the
alley. directly south OF the blazing
wooden structure. His hands grow
ing cold from the spray. he went back
to the hosecart for his gloves. Just
after he left the >firemen noticed the
wall on that side begin to bulge and
moved around to the other side. In
the meantime, Capt. Fletcher return
ed and. II is supposed, was about to
leap over the alley fence to get In
side the yard again. when the wall
toppled over. carrying the fence with
II and pinning the captain underneath.
A number of pipemen further UP the
alley narrowly escaped being caught
under the fence, but q pile OF lumber
held II up at that point and thus pre-
vented II from crushing down on
them.
When the captains body was found
by his men an hour later, II was re-
moved to the home of Capt. Patrick
J. Rourke, of engine company No. s.
who lives next door to the factory.
Coroner Burgess was notified. and to
him fell the difficult task of breaking
the news to the mother and sister
OF the dead captain. with whom he
resided at No. 602 Fifteenth-st. His
mother. Mrs. Mathilda Fletcher. 10
80 years old.
Capt. Fletcher was 50 years old and
had been In the department since
1889. He had been captain since
1908. He was never married.
The f1re proved an obstinate one
to contend with. and threatened at
one time to involve surrounding prop
erty. BY excellent work the depart
ment succeeded in getting II under
control after An hours hard work.

INSPECTORS MISS QUEUES.
New Fashion Among Chinese Gives
immigration Officers q Lot OF
Trouble.

When the emperor of China de-
creed recently that his subjects all
over the world should shear on their
queues, he incidentally made trouble
for the inspectors In the Detroit immi-
grafton ofice, who are watching the
border for celestials coming over the
river.
An arrangement was recently made
with the interurban and steam rail-
road companies that, whenever Chi
nese boarded q car for any extended
trip, the conductor should telephone
to the train dispatcher and he notify
the immigration authorities, who would
have the Chink looked up. Formerly
It was easy to detect the Chinese, as
his queue, no matter how carefully
concealed beneath his hat, would
leave some hairs sticking out With
their pig-tails curtailed, the Chinese
look SO nearly like Japanese that an
ordinary observer might not notice the
difference. During the winter. the
Chinese find II easy to cross the river

be stopped is by watching the centers

The brilliant sunshine and crisp

tuberculosis sanatorium, which was
formally dedicated, Sunday afternoon.

ceremonies had provided plenty Of
automobiles at Woodward and Webb
ayes, to convey visitors from the
woodward cars to the sanatorium,
which Is situated In Highland Park on
Twelfth-st, between Richton ana
Monterey-aves., although the nearest
cross street running to the grounds
west OF Hamilton-blvd. Is Webb-ave.
Three-quarters of the crowd that went
to the dedicatory services was unable
to get into the building at all during
the program of speeches and music,
but afterwards the majority OF the
people found their way through the
buildings on a tour of inspection. The
sanatorium, as fully described In Sat
urday's Times, Is something Of which
the city may be proud and stands az
tribute to, the energy and phil
anthropic motives of a band OF Detroit
men and women who took upon them
selves the task of erecting and equip
ping the building. II Is a wonderfully
attractive retreat for the care and
cure OF those afflicted with tubercu-
losis.
The dedicatory program included
brief addresses by President Frank b.
Leland, of the board Of trustees OF the
sanatorium; Mrs. B. c. Whitney, chair
man OF the furnishing committee; the
Rev. John III. Boyd, Ex-Governor War
ner and Mayor Thompson. Music was
provided by Harold Armstrong, BARI

all ordinances. This is long, tedious

to the time, before typewriters came
into vogue, when all records were In

To do this work In the future, Mr.
Nichols would require the services or
an extra clerk, as the work of the
Office has greatly increased in volume,
and he Is now getting along with one
less clerk than George T. CASTOR had
as city clerk. He believes that II a.
originals of all the board OF est
mates proceedings were bound toge'h-

by the president of the board and
himself as secretary, and filed away,
the intent OF the law would be fully

OF the council proceedings are kept
