IN HER RESIDENCE
Officer Crump Called Patrol
After Mrs. Eugene Smith
Had Departed.

When Constable Ben Crump went
to the home of Eugene Smith. on
North Fourth street yesterday to serve
papers of replevin against him. ne en-
countcred difficulties.
Smith owed a local furniture COM
pany $19s and had failed to pay it.
Suit of replevin was instituted in
Squire Abbotts court, and as result
the balance owed the company togeth-
er with the court costs quickly
amounted to total of about IS which
the constable asked Mrs. Eta Smith
to pay or to give up the furniture.
Believing this amount too large.
Mrs. Smith informed the constable Of
her opinion and a heated argument en-
sued. Finally Mrs. Smith became ex-
asperated and rushing to each door in
the house, locked them and quietly
left, via the rear door, leaving Crump
within.
Crump tried to get out of the house,
but could not, ard seeing man pass
a window he yelled to him to tele-
phone for the patrol wagon and an
extra patrOlman.
Fearing a great crime had occurred
in the neighborhood, Day Sergeant
McNally sent the patrol wagon with
Patrolmen Wenger and Vogelsong to
the place. The patrolmen found the
constable locked in the house.
Voglesong finally gained entrance
to the house and in the meantime
Mrs Smith returned and accepting the
advice of VCgelsong she paid the IS.
Vogelsong reprimanded Crump for
calling the patrol and as he started to
leave Crump yelled. Don't leave yet"
"Oh you don't need to worry.
won't hurt you," Mrs. Smith said to
Crump.
Vogelsong remained for while, un-
til the matter was finally settled.

BANKS TO "PAY up
Petty Offenders Scored by
Currency Controller.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Lawrence
o. Murray, controller of the currency,
has made another move against ma
tiopal banks that do not play fair with
the people. These are the banks
which make collections for their
clients and then are systematically
slow in turning over the money.
Complaints are continually coming
to this office about banks to which col
lection items have been sent and the
remittance withheld Or unreasonably
delayed" said Mr.. Murray, in an or
today.
Some of the banks of which COM
plants have been made are chronic
offenders in this regard. Hereafter
at the conclusion of the examination
of bank you will please ascertain
from the officers if they have had any
trouble with any national bank in re-
gard to the prompt remittance of col
lection items, and if they have, give
the bank or banks in your report.
viii Not Tolerate Condition.
This office will not tolerate this
condition longer and a national bank
against which any complaint is made
will be promptly called upon for an
explanation. If necessary special
ough investigation
Mr.. Murray has gone after the petty
offenders in his domain on the theory
that national bank has no more right
than any one else to- hold up mans
money. AS far as the national banks
are concerned they will no longer be
able to play both ends and the mid
die without at least renting prompt
ly after the transaction is closed.

HEARTLESS MOTHER
LEFT LITTLE ONES
Mrs. Ida Graham Disappears,
Leaving Five Children
With Her Husband.

For the third or fourth time within
the past few years Ida Graham left
her home, go North Eleventh street,
yesterday morning, abandoning five
small children, whose ages range from
three to twelve years. She informed
no one of her Intentions, acting as she
has on former occasions by leaving
when her husband was at work.
When Marie. eyed twelve, the old
est child. asked her mother where che
was going, she received no answer.
Later the piteous crying of the small
er children, when they learned that
their mother had left them. was heard
by neighbors and the father. David
at the Wayne Works, was informed.
Believing that he would be unable
to give his children proper care, which
children of that tender age should
have, he made arrangements imme-
diately with Mrs. Elizabeth Gambler,
city missionary to petition Judge Fox
OF the Wayne circuit court to send the
four Oldest children to Whites Insti-
tute. The petitions were filed this az
ternoon and it is likely that the court
will act upon them Immediately. Ora
ham desires to keep the youngest child
with him.
The father will only he separated
from the Oldest children until they are
old enough to aid him in caring for
them. He says he will pay the institu-
Ftion for keeping them.
The names OF the children who will
be sent to Whites Institute. and their
ages. as as follows: Marie, aged ~:
Homer. aged 9; Theodore. aged T. and
Harold, aged 6. The youngest boy,
aged three years. will remain with his
father.
It Is said that the mother OF the
children was very profane and abus-
+. ed them to a considerable extent.
The father has no knowledge where
the woman Is, as she had never ex-
! pressed any intentions of leaving.
The last time she abandoned her
} husband and children she went to
Muncie where she secured employ
ment. After being in that city eight
months she returned here and asked
her husband to allow her to live with
him again. He acquiesced, believing
that the mother could give the chill
dren better care than any one else.
Mrs. Graham left her family on one
or two occasions prior to that time,
It 10 said. and on each occasion her
husband consented to her request and
permitted her to return.

Tear Down Buildings, Says Marshal

In the report of Assistant State
Fire Marshal Wolff for June and July
some very interesting facts relative
TO the conditions Of buildings and
fire traps in the state are set forth.
State Fire Marshal Palmer, who is
also state insurance commissioner,
makes the report public. Here are
extracts taken from the report:
II find in each city | have visited
great many dilapidated sheds. barns
and buildings of different descrip-
tions. which should be repaired and
made fireproof, or removed also
find great carelessness in the hand
ling of gasoline and other explosive
materials.
81 do not consider our appropria-
ton large enough to investigate every
unknown fire report to this office, and
feel that we can do the citizens of
the state more justice and give bet
ter satisfaction by helping to prevent
fires than We can by spending our
small appropriation by ferreting out
fires"
The report goes on to state that
the city of Manistee is in bad con-
dition as TO dilapidated buildings
which are menace to expensive and
fine residences throughout that city.
The report recommends that the city
officials spend more time in cleaning
up these old fire traps. The same
thing is said of Cheboygan and other
cities which the assistant fire mar.
shall has visited
Particular attention is called to the
law relative to the handling Of gaso-
