new ORDINANCE
! PROTECTS PUBLIC
Not a Serious Auto Accident Since
Measure Went Into Effect-Com-
plants Pile Up.

Another batch of about 600 COM
plants was filed by the police In the
recorders court, Monday morning,
against motorists for violations or the
new vehicle ordinance. This makes
a total of about 1900 that have been
made thus far. and the police are still
active. II begins to look as though
Judge Connolly will have TO hold an
open air court to dispose or all or the
cases. They are set for trial In the
special ordinance session Thursday
morning.
All the complaints, with the excep-
ton of possibly 80 or 40. are based
on that part OF Section 20. OF tho new
ordinance, which requires motorists
to stop at all street car intersections,
The remaining few are against motor
lists who failed to stop behind stand
ing street cars that were taking on
or letting OF passengers. The suspi-
cion Is growing stronger among those
who believe in the ordinance that the
police are trying their best to Kill II
by making II unpopular and getting
everybody sick Of It. In the mean
time, however, the public is enjoying
safety in the streets, there has not
been serious automobile accident
since the measure went into effect.
1t Is almost certain that some action
will be taken In the council meeting
Tuesday night, looking 10 the amend
ment OF section 20, Of the ordinance.
Aid. Allan, chairman OF the ordinance
committee. says he will take the initi'
alive by introducing an amendment
requiring motorists to slow down to
half speed, or six miles an hour Ia
the mile circle and 1-2 miles an
hour, beyond that, when approaching
intersections or standing street cars
and to keep six feet clear OF street

COURT NOT MOVED
/. BY "PH0NY" TEARS
Stanislaus Dollna, Who Violated
Parole, Sent To Prison by
Judge Phelan.

Fervid prayers and copious tears
did not avail to keep Stanislaus DOLL
ma from going to prison. Monday morn.
ing, when he was brought before
Judge Phelan for violating his parole.
The big-hearted jurist, whose SYM
pathies are easily aroused by such
spectacles, sat immovable while Doll
ma went on his knees before tee bar
OF the court, pleading and supplieat-
ing Having been once deceived by
the fellow, the Judge did not propose
to let 1t happen again. To him, the
mans prayers were a hollow mock
cry and his tears were "phony" as
paste diamonds.
Dollna Is the Russian Jew who, on
representations that he was Romau
Catholic, had his wife buried In a
Catholic cemetery and with full Cath
olic rites from st. Josefat's church,
last December Several months be-
fore he had been tried and convicted
on charge OF robbing woman OF a
pure containing 80 cents and was re.
leased on parole by Judge Connolly.
In December he was arrested on a
similar charge and the case came be-
fore Judge Phelan. While the man
was in jail awaiting sentence. word
reached the court that Doilna's wife
was dying. She was found lying on
heap Of rags In dirty hovel. Though
removed to st. Mary's hospital as
quickly as possible she died the fol-
lowing day and her two children were
placed In the Home OF the Friend
less.
Dollna was released on parole by
Judge Phelan. who took pity on the
man. The court went SO far as To
pay the funeral expenses.
Recently the judge learned that, al
though Dollna was earning S1.70 a day
he had not contributed q penny to
the care Of his children. Dollnas re-
arrest was ordered and when brought
before the court, Monday morning. he
began to weep and pray and other
wise make spectacle OF himself.
Cut II out" ordered Judge Phelan.
The Lord is tired of listening TO hyp-
ocrites like you"
The judge sentenced Dollna to not
less than six months nor more than
five years In the Detroit House or
Correction. ------

with grand larceny was sworn out In
police court, Monday morning, but
lie has not been arrested. Telegrams
have been sent east and west, In this
hope that sleuths of sister cities may

follows: $175, $112.50, $62.5o, $S5 and
$95.
The other diamonds oil reposed In
the safe, OF which Reich knew the

the concern must make good to its

more than anxious to communicate

REFUSE INVITATION TO SEE
PANIC IN PICTURE SHOW
Film Machine Operator Would Pro-

Need Of Experienced Men.

Members Of the council committee
oL ordinances on Monday respectful
ly declined an invitation to made
toorder moving picture theater panic,
In which two or three citizens should
be trampled to death to illustrate the
need OF experienced flm machine op-
eratcrs.
The offer was made, probably with
out intention, by G. ]. Pierce, opera
tor OF the picture machine In the
Mack theater. Pierce was one OF a
score of machine operators who ap-
peared before the committee to ask
for an ordinance requiring operators
to be licensed.
The speakers, headed by Pierce,
declared that lives we're endangered
because inexperienced operators were
employed
why, the burning OF a little piece
OF fllm, or a spark from the carbons,
In the operating box, Is likely to
cause a fatal panic" said Pierce. III
YOU aldermen want to come out this
Afternoon, I'll show you how can
start panic in which there will be
two or three people killed"
The aldermen declined the invita-
tion, and took the petition under con
sideration.

SAYS RENTAL SUIT
ISN'T AUTHORIZED
Hally Proceeding on Own Initiative,
Is Claim Made by D. U. R.
Attorneys.

That the city of Detroit acquiesced
In the occupation of the streets by
the ID. U. r., that the company is now
rightfully occupying them until the
common council takes action TO dis
possess It, and that Corporation Coun
sci Hally brought the action against
the company TO collect 5000 day as
rent for the use Of certain city streets
where the franchise of the company
has expired, without the authorization
OF the council, were the contentious
of attorneys representing the company
when arguments were heard Monday
by Judges Mandell, Hosmer and Muir
ply In the rental suit.
Attorney Fred A. Baker, represent
ing the company, also took occasion
to caution the court against the posi-
bility OF It's mind becoming contamin
ated with expressions regarding the
suit In the city press.
Ordinarily" said Mr.. Baker, "the
editors Of papers don't know much nj
all regarding law. We elect judges
for the purpose OF instructing the peo
pie. Your big service to the people
of Detroit Is TO tell them what the
law is, and what they expect OF you
is for you to render the, best decision
your Judgment can give"
Mr.. Baker also declared that the
court should not render a decision In
this case until the federal court de-
cides the Hally ordinance case, declar'
ing that that case involved many oil
the same issues as the present case
does.
1T Is up, to the council to determine
what course will be pursued regarding
the street railways OF Detroit" said
&. d. Joslyn. representing the com
pany. up TO the present time, no
step has been taken, either to grant
new franchise or to take steps to
establish municipal ownership. The
common council hesitates to bring
calamity on the city with Its half
million population. Il will either ne
gotiate in good faith with the COM
pany and see what terms can be OBJ
tanned from the railroad or viii then
take action to put us of the streets.
Should the company's terms be un'
favorable, then the city will say TO
outsiders, on what terms will you con-
struct railroad in Detroit. II the
terms are more favorable than those
of the D. u. r., then the city will say
to the d. U. r., Will you meet IL?
Until the council reaches definite
plan to furnish means OF Transports
ton in this city, 1t won't bring on a
calamity by having the corporation
counsels Office institute suit to put us
of the streets.
There Is no statutory authority to
authorize Mr.. Hally to bring this ac-
tion. against the ID. U. r., as far as
am aware. Should the ID. u. r. come
to me and tell me TO take charge OF Its
legal business, | would not have au-
thority to institute any suit which /
desire, and Mr.. Hally has no right TO
bring this action without the authoriza-
tion of the council"
Corporation Counsel Hally began
his arguments shortly before the
court adjourned at p. IN. He declar-
ed that the common council IL not
the corporation, but Is only q branch
of II, the same as the office Of corpor-
alton counsel and that the council
does not have charge of legal litiga-
ton. Mr.. Hally will resume his ar
guments, Tuesday morning.
