Bolton, who with his brother, Webb,
was tried In the recorders court, on
charge OF murderously assaulting
two American Express Co. messen-

because he said that he had seen the
assault. One day, during the progress
Of the trial, he disappeared before his
testimony had been given, and n
search by the police failed to reveal
his whereabouts. He had vanished
as completely az though he had been

AAARER DODGES
ON BRICK ISSUE
Explanation Of Low Price Charged
Contractors for Replacing Poor
Brick Doesn't Explain.

Mayor Thompson was amazed and
somewhat amused when told, Satur-
day, OF the explanation made by Com
missioner Haarer OF the ID. p. W.. OF
why the department charged the city
from 81 to s1.30 per square yard and
brick contractors only from so to so
cents for laying brick furnished to
replace what had proven unsatisfac-
tory. The commissioners explana-
tion. given out earlier in the morn
ing, was that In the case of the charge
being made to the city the cost OF
brick was included, while In the case
of the brick concerns this charge was
eliminated, the companies furnishing
the brick.
1T must be that the commissioner
isn't familiar with his own books"
said the mayor. why, statistics pre-
pared from his own accounts for me
by City Accountant Bullock show very
clearly the following facts: First, that
the city in 1909 and 1910 repaved 1886
square yards on some 80 streets
which had been paved with brick man
ufsctured by four different companies,
at a total cost for labor and other ma
terials of $6,333.45, and that the bricks
In there cases were furnished by the
contractors; second. that $3.50 square
yards were resurfaced for the contrac-
tors by the ID. p. W.. tho contrac-
tors again furnishing the brick, and
being charged for labor just S2,72I27.
I'm other words. In both cases, when
the city did the repaying for itself,
and when II did is for the contractors,
the brick were furnished by the brick
companies. but IN The former case Ia
bor and other materials cost about 81
square yard, and In the later, about
80 cents square yard. Other ma
terials we're sand and SO forth

which has been laid since Commits

Is PROPOSED FOR DETROIT
Mildred Holland Behind Move to Form

Of Organization.


A meeting was held in the Hotel
Ste. Claire Saturday morning for the
purpose OF organizing Detroit branch
Of the Actors Church alliance, which
was established some IL years ago, in
the hope OF bringing the church and
stage in closer touch with each other.
Miss Mildred Holland, who is head
In ga company In the Temple theater,
this week, In tabloid production of
The Power Behind the Throne" and
who enjoys the honor of being the
president Of the New York Actors
alliance OF New York, was personally
instrumental In calling the local meet
ing. She hoped to see local branch
started before she leaves the city,
Sunday night, but the absence Of a
number OF clergymen from the city on
their vacations, made Il impossible TO
go ahead with the organisation. She
received letters from q number OF
pastors, now away, saying they would
be glad to take up the work when they
return home. SO the matter Of form
ing the proposed branch was left In
abeyance for the time being.
Miss Holland is enthusiastic over
the Actors Church alliance. She says
II is an agency for solace and comfort
TO many actors and actresses when
they are among strangers.
The actors and actresses like to
know that there Is a chapter Of the
alliance In cities where they are play

Boston, Mass, March 21.-Because
Joseph Plummer of Milton, N. H.,
was prevented by his father from mar.
rying the woman of his choice, he has
remained in bed for forty years. He
is now II years old. The girl he loved
is dead, but the old man has not been
told; in fact, he has refused to speak
of her from the day he said to his
father: If you will not let me have
her, l will go to bed"
Joe went to bed. The father, think
ing that this perversity of youth
would pass in few days, carried him
his meals. But Joe did not get up.
He continued in bed day after day,
week after week, year after year.
Oddly enough, there have never
been any efforts in his family to have
Joe get up. His mother and his
father have both oied. Now his two
brothers, both bachelors we'll along
in years. cook Joe's meals and take
care of him.
