CHARTER REVISION
As ALTERNATIVE
Favorable Vote Will Bring Action
Only if Home Rule Amendments
Fail Of Passage.

Tuesday nights council meeting
took on the nature OF an old ladies'
tea party. The aldermen were in a
gossipy mood and the routine bust.
ness of the session seemed to bore
them. SO they snapped stories among
themselves, discussed the weather,
the estimates or idly contemplated
the ceiling through the riffs in the
clouds of cigar smoke. Several times
President Gutman found IL necessary
to rap for order, and once or twice
he threatened to have the sergeant
alarms clear the lobby unless the
buzzing ceased
After the council had adjourned,
Aid. David Rosenthal, OF the Third
ward, came rushing down the center
aisle. waving aloft copy OF a/reso-
luton which, he declared, had to go
through. II was In connection with
the death OF Estimator Storm and
called on the aldermen to attend the
funeral, Thursday, In a body. II was
too late to take any action on the
resolution, but the matter was called
men and most OF them will heed the
request.
The only semblance to a debate was
the rather desultory discussion which
attended the report OF the committee
on city and charter legislation. sub
hitting without recommendation the
resolution of Aid. McCarty, which
provided for the submission to tn
people in April OF the question OF
general revision OF the city charter
The report was accepted, but when
Aid. McCarty moved the adoption of
the resolution, Aid. Vernon was ready
with a substitute. making charter
revision contingent on the legisla-
lures failure to pass the amendments
to the home rule bill.
Aid. McCarty finally accepted the
substitute and 1t went through with
roll call attached. Under the Vernon
resolution, the proposition will be sub
mitted to the voters in the following
form:
Shall a charter commission be
elected for the purpose OF revts-
ing the charter of the city OF De-
troit, in case the law governing
the matter at this time Is not
changed by the legislature of the
state OF Michigan at its present
session, SO as to make 1t possible
for the city of Detroit to amend
its existing charter. without first
revising II through the medium
of such a charter commission.
Aid. Lodge put through resolution
providing for the submission OF the
special act increasing the city's bond
ing limit from 2 to per cent.
The council adopted the sane
Fourth" ordinance, prohibiting the
sale of toy pistols, blank cartridges
and dynamite flrecrackers on the
Fourth OF July. There was no discus
sion.

was recovered later in the evening.
but that OF the other victim has not
yet been found.
The double drowning is thought to
have been the result of an effort on
the part OF Langlois TO Brighten the
Labute boy. Langlois, at the close
OF his days work with team of
horses on the roadside, which he was
grading for his father, drove the
team into the river TO water them.
The little Labute boy "hitched on"
as the wagon passed him on the road
and climbed into the wagon box be-
side Langlois. When the water reach
ed the wagon box the boy showed
fright and Langlois is believed to
have kept on driving, because of the
lads fear. expecting to turn the
horses when he found they were get
Ing beyond their depth.
Suddenly, however, one of the
horses slipped over the channel bank
and pulled the other with II, both
sinking together. Langlois jumped
from the wagon and young Labute
follow ed him. The water was oyer
their heads and they sank after
brief struggle.
The mother of young Labute saw
his peril from her home. nearby, and
FASTENED to the river TO aid in res.
cuing him. She was frantic with
fear, and would have plunged into the
river, had not others Oh the bank
held her back.
Mrs. Langlois. mother of Jeremie,
tainted on hearing OF his death. She,
too, went to the river, hoping to be
able to aid in finding the body.
The horses and wagon were pulled
from the river before the body OF
Langlois was recovered.

qestion on Woodward.

Police Commissioner Croul has
come forward with some suggestions
for the re-routing Of the street car
lines In the downtown section 30 as
to relieve the congestion on Wood

down Griswold-st. to Atwater, looping
back to Griswold via. Brush. Jefferson,
Bates and Congress. His plan also
changes In the routes OF
the Brush and Fourteenth (river
route) cars. A. ID. B. Van Zandx pub
licity agent for the d. u. R., sayS the
has had under contemplation
certain changes looking to the same
end, though some OF the commission

Buys Land for Fair Site.

St. Matthews. July 13.-The dire 3
tors of the County Fair Association
met this morning and determined
upon q site for the grounds. After
going over the various propositions it
was. unanimously decided to accept
the offer of % acres by the St. Matth-
ews Realty Company for 81, 900. These
gentlemen agree to take $1,000 dollars
of the purchase price in stock and the
balance in cash on such terms as are
agreeable. The location Of the site is
an ideal one.
On account of the grounds being
under cultivation this year thereby
making it impossible to get possession
in time to prepare for the fair, it was
decided not to hold fair this fall, but
to have something like fall gala day
instead, and have a real fair next
year.
