Bright lecture
BY {. ]. WARD
ROCHESTER MAN GAVE INTER-
EsTING TALK ON SOCIAL GEN.
TER DEVELOPMENT AT GRAND
THEATRE LAST NIGHT TO APP.
PREcIATIVE AUDIENCE.

No more interesting number in the
Grand free lecture course has been
heard this season than the lecture of
Edward J. Ward of Rochester, N. Y,
at the Grand theatre last night on
Public Schools as Social Centers. Mr..
Ward built up his subject with illus
trations from the system he personally
established in his home city, which be-
gan with little meeting of twelve
men in one of the city school buildings,
until at the present day eighteen build
ings are used for meeting purposes
which are always largely attended and
the greatest interest shown.
This movement, originated by him in
Rochester, has now spread to New
York City and as far south as Texas.
to the Canadian border on the north
and to ST. Paul on the west. 1t is
with the hope that Fargo and North
Dakota may soon come within the
scope of this movement that Mr.. Ward
is now making this tour. His audience
was sympathetic and an effort to make
such good Of the public schools of this
city is expected in the future.
The speaker went into detail in re-
gard to the various cities which had
appropriated money for the purpose Of
carrying on this work, how the school
buildings in bigger cities had been used
for the neighborhood dances and how
they were now being builf with ball
rooms in addition to the class and reci-
tation halls just for that purpose. He
touched on the mems clubs, the wom-
ems clubs and the boys and girls or
ganizations, which he felt was a step
toward a higher and better stage OF
civilization.
In advocating that school buildings
be used as social centers. he urged
that all political differences be left
on the outside and nothing carried
within that would lend to create any
verbal strife or dissention to the har-
mony which was intended to prevail.
Mr.. Wards audience was delighted
with the lecture and widespread APP
prevail of his ideas was heard on all
sides as the people were leaving the
| theatre.

entertainer with his wonderful me-

which follows his every expression, Joy,
nate, disgust, fear, envy, sorrow, ETC.,
like the reflection in mirror. The de-
vice is a mammoth face. a model after
his own features and the effects are at
once grotesque and startling, as well as
most interesting.
Pewitt has appeared before the most
fastidious audiences in this country
and Manager Treat is to be congratu-
lated upon securing such a feature for
his theatre.

ORIGIN OF FIRE
is A MYSTERY
MYSTERY SURROUNDS FIRE IN A
VACANT HOUSE ON THIRD AVE-
NUE. SOUTH SATURDAY NIGHT
CIGARETTE STUBS MAY HAVE
STARTED THE FIRE.

Complete mystery surrounds the fire
which started in a vacant house at
1440 Third avenue south Saturday
night, and caused a loss Of about $500.
Shortly after dark Saturday nigh
the department answered a call from
the residence Of Mrs. z. Hendry.
When the fire fighters arrived they
found the adjoining house, which was
vacant, In flames. The burning prop
erty was ablaze I'm the center of the
house and the hremen had to break
into the building to get to the fire.
On entering the structure Il WIS
found that the center room was all
ablaze. The main part of the fire
seemed to spring from the center of the
floor and had eaten it's way around the
walls OF the room and spread to the
other parts of the dwelling. The de-
Dartment experienced NO great trouble
putting out the flames.
The fact that the house had been
unoccupied for two months, has caused
the fire to be a puzzle to those inter
ested. Mrs. e. Hendry, the owner of
the house can assign no cause for the
origin OF the flames.
Assistant Chief Manning has adj
vanced the theory that small boys con-
gregated I'm the vacant house to smoke
cigarettes and threw their stubs ON the
floor. The room being in the center
OF the house would make 1t an ideal
place to hide away, and Saturday was
good day for them, on account of
there being no school. A number of
boys, with cigarettes have at times
been seen around the house.
The property was fully covered by
insurance.

number granted must not exceed l.

There are several saloons which

chairman of the committee, Thursday
noon. "The question is, shall the
committee put them out Of business
or shall we leave It to the police. the
prosecuting attorney and the judges
of the recorders court? The ,opinion
fof the committee seems to be that Il
Is the duty OF the officials named Il
look after such matters and that our
function is simply to issue the IL
censes. However, we reached no de-
cision as to the policy to be followed.
There is question, too, II We have

go and Just where we are going to
draw the line. That is another matter
that We are looking into"
It is stated In the city clerks ONCE
that the councils authority 10 abso-
Lutte in the matter Of issuing licenses.
II 1t is SO disposed, the committee
may turn down the applications Of all
the old saloonkeepers and grant an
entirely new set, II there are enough
other applications to make the full
quota allowed by law.
Chairman Ellis Is giving the matter
serious consideration. The committee
will get at the applications much ear
lier this year than last, and everybody
who wishes It will have an opportun-
ity to be heard.

WOMAN PROFITS
THROUGH FORGERY
Mrs. B. Mcclellan Is $500 Ahead as
Result Of G. II. Reissman's
0ffense.

That 1t is an Ill wind that blows
nobody good, Is the opinion of Mrs
b. Mcclellan, Of Oakland county, who
called to see Otto Stoll, register OF
deeds, regarding the forged deed In
vestigation, Thursday.
Mrs. Mcclellan some time ago sold
five lots for $4,000 to George H. Reiss
man, for whom three warrants have
been issued on charges of forging
Otto Stolls name to deeds, and re-
ceived $500 from him to bind the sale
1t was found that the lots were re-
sold by Reissman and that forged
deeds were given. to the buyers.
Mr.. Stoll asked her to go to the
prosecuting attorneys once and
swear out warrant against Reiss
man, but when she found that heI
title to the land was still unclouded
and that she was just $500 ahead on
the deal, she refused to swear out Q
warrant.
FIJI. Barrett, president or the Mich
igan Mfg. 4 Lumber Co., has informed
Mr.. Stoll that he has been defrauded
out OF $4,000 as result OF forged
deeds. This brings the total loss SO
far to $4,000. Land contracts are
limited at and Mr.. Stoll fears that a
large sum Of money, possibly 5000
has been lost by fraudulent sales OF
land on Buena vista-ave.
Assistant Prosecutors Aldrich and
Lamphere are investigating the mat.
ter. AS the parties who assert that
they have been defrauded, liye out OF
town, II is dificult to get. them to
swear out warrants.
