SPAETE C0NFESSES
To FRAUD, SAY
POLICE
Admits To Pair Of Victims That
General Electric Inspection Com
pany, Launched in Detroit, Is
Fake Concern.
Warrant Will Be Issued for Promoter
Here, II Other Cities Do Not
Claim Him.

Oscar f. spaete. whose affairs OF
love and finance have brought him into
antiquities from which there seems
now no loophole OF escape, was very
nervous man when he was seen In the
cell block Of the central police station,
Wednesday morning.
His debonair appearance had left
him. He was pale and his hands
twitched convulsively. His eyes were
sunken and great rings had formed,
under them.
Despite his nervousness, he talked
little. He made one startling state
ment. He Is not the author of the
fcur-act play; The Man and the
Deal. which so much reflects his own
Napoleonic financial flights. II was
written by Dell Lavenia Neel. after
the material had been provided her
by Spaete. Dell Lavenia Neel In pri-
vate life, Is no less q person than
Mrs. Oscar F. Spaete.
Mrs. Spaete Is beautiful southern
woman, only "a years old, whose liter
airy work has created some comment
In eastern cities. She is the author OF
several stories dealing with the race
problem.
There was note OF vain regret in
her husbands voice as he spoke OF
her and then Of the woman" whose
sudden flight from Detroit followed
Spaete's arrest. Her name 10 Eva
Tobey and she Is separated from her
husband, wealthy medical man from
the west.
Il got mixed up with her, that's
ALL said Spaete. Il found her In
the Blackstone hotel in Chicago and
she attracted me. We came here to-
gether. A mans fool for taking
up with strange women"
About his financial affairs. Spaete
said but little. except that he wanted
to get out OF his difficulties all right
intentions were honorable and that
his connections with enterprises both
in the east and west are straight.
He declared that the thought or
suicide had never entered his mind.
despite his avowal to the Tobey wo-
man that II she deserted him, he would
end his life. He said the fact that a
vial of cyanide OF potassium was
found In his sock had no significance.
lie said he used the stun In the devel-
oping OF camera pictures, OF which he
took a great number. 49,
You will have to excuse me from
talking further" he said finally. II au
really too unstrung to talk coherent
ly."
The police have received no word
as yet from Sioux Falls, 8. D., where
Spaete is said to have operated ex-
tensiyely. In the absence Of other
complaints. the Detroit police have de-
cided to ask for warrant for Spaete
here He will be charged with receiv-
ing money under false pretenses.
The police say he has confessed to
F. G. Steck and F. A. Schneider, tn,
Detroit boys interested In the General
Electric Inspection Co., at No. 408-4O9
Chamber of Commerce building. that
the concern was fraud. He repre-
sented to the Detroiters that $4,000
was paid into the concern. Now he
confesses there was no capital In the
company.

One Of the practical and interesting
addresses OF the many that have been
made to graduating classes within
the past few days, was that of City
Clerk Charles Nichols, Tuesday af-
ternoon, to the Russell school class.
Mr.. Nichols impressed upon the girls
and boys before him the necessity of
learning to be good housewives and
frst-class mechanics or master OF a
trade In order to profit by the educa-
ton their parents made possible In
the Affairs Of the world make your
selves not only useful but necessary,
said Mr.. Nichols. Make known your
ability to do things and your serv-
Ices will be sought. There is great
difference Of opinion as TO the mean
ing OF success but everyone knows
failure when they see It." Mr.. Nichols
went on to tell the class that before
all else one should follow the die
tates of conscience and always place
honor and honesty above material
gain.

uous strain OF battling, but II that's the
only recourse | have, I'll stick to 1t
until the last brick Is laid on our
streets and snow covers 1t.
Il cannot for the life of me fathom
the attitude of some OF the aldermen.
1t Is easy to see through the causes
which influences some of them. There
Is class OF aldermen whose sole am
bition Is TO get men on the pay rolls
--foremen of wards, foremen of gangs.
and owners OF teams, etc. The de-
partment Of public works offers the
greatest field for such patronage. Give
some aldermen enough jobs for their
friends and they will support the man
who hands out the jobs through thick
and thin.
but there Is another class OF alder
men apparently more conscientious
men who take their jobs seriously.
How this class can assume the indif-
ferent attitude II does, Is mystery
TO me-
Following declaration made to
Mayor Thompson In committee
meeting June IL, the Deckman- Duty
Brick Co. has sent a communication
TO the commissioner OF public works,
which was sent BY him to the common
council, Tuesday night, asking to be
relieved from It's contract
II have nothing to do with that"
said the mayor. Il think the request
to be relieved is something of a Joke
at this time, any way. The company
has had orders for more than 1907
900 brick, and nearly all of ne g.
100000 brick supposed to be needed
for pavements has been been order
ed, 80 that there won't be MUCH more
doing this year in the brick trade.
wonder II the Deckman-Duty peo-
pie were afraid that their brick
would not come up to the test.
at is another remarkable fact, that
the Massillon Brick Co., whose brick
has tested high, has had orders for
only $4,000 brick.
Il notice that the pavement on
Spruce-st., where pointed out that
inferior Stag was being used In the
concrete foundation, has been approx
ed by the commissioner and Is up
to the council. I have nothing to do
with that, as the specifications did
not state what class of Stag should
be used. have done my duty when
| pointed out to the council that these
specifications did not get the best
class of pavements. II the aldermen
want to safeguard the interests OF the
taxpayers, they Will see that the spec
ifications are changed before any

Socialist Officials

The old partie politicians, and old
party voters tell us that if we So
cialists were to carry the country
that the Socialist officials would be
Just rs big graftcrs. liars and scoun-
dfels and thieves rs the present Dem
ocratic and Republican ofIicc-holders
and office seekers are. But the So
cialists realize that 4 political party
built upon the same lines with no
way to control their officials would
soon deteriorate into, 4 set OF graft
ing money grabbers like some of Har-
rison county's eX-sheriffs Knowing
this, the Socialist party has adopted
scl@nti1ic measures to prevent Social
lists from graft and selling of legis-
latloh. Inc Socialist candidate Is

lew scheming political bosses as are

ties. Every Socialist candidate is re-
qulred to fill out his resignation be-
lore his name is placed on the official
ballot. the resignation is left undated
and placed in the hands of the COM
mlttee and at any time a Socialist
Official fails or refuses to do what
MS party wants done and sent him
there to do they take a vote and If
the rank and file decides that he has
rallied to do his duty they order the

sent in TO the proper officials and
thuS he steps down and out, disgraced
ana out Of politics for life The So
clallst party is made up of more than
loo,ooO party members with local or
CARNATIONS in almost every city and
town. which meet almost every week
AT these local meetings the members
are always discussing what kind of
legislation they want and after thew
decide on what they want they notify
their elected representative and if
their desire is ignored they can in
