FTRECAUSES $4,000
Loss In ROYAL OAK
Poor Water Supply Makes Fight
ing of Flames Difficult
Work

Fire which broke out about 8 o'clock
Sunday night, destroyed two business
buildings in Royal Oak and caused a
loss OF $4,000. The flames were dis-
covered by Miss Harriet White. who
with four companions, spread the
alarm. Miss Ethel Kennedy, tele-
phone operator, notified Pontiac and
Detroit, while her Office filed with
smoke. She had TO be carried from
her post
Royal Oaks poor water supply was
responsible for the amount OF damage
done. Citizens formed bucket brigades,
but IL was soon apparent that the
buildings could not be saved, and at
tention was then turned to adjacent
property. A high wind carried sparks
and embers 10 the roofs OF other
stores and houses, and IL required
strict vigilance TO prevent the spread
OF the fire.
Pontiac sent chemical engine and
from Highland Park came an automo'
bile engine. The latter stretched a
hose from the ID. u. RS tanks and
succeeded in playing a stream on the
fire.
Scores of people assisted in the
work OF salvaging the stocks OF the
burning stores. j. +. Codling's jewelry
stock was carried into the street,
where 1t lay In its broken showcases
for some time without loss.
Mrs. Z. l.. Rowe vas asleep in her
room over the Palace meat market
when the fire started. She was reused
with considerable dificulty by Miss
White.
The fire started in the bakery OF
Theodore Goodfellow, probably from
the ovens. 1t destroyed the Central
block and the adjoining building to
the south. TIE shops burned were
the Goodfellow bakery, the grocery OF
Deal & Brainard, the Palace meat
market and Meyers barber shop. Ad
jacent plac 80 were damaged by smoke
and water.

URGES PURCHASE OF
JEFFERSON'S HOME
Mrs. Martin w. LittletOn Writes
to Congressman DOremus
of Scheme

Congressman Doremus will leave for
Washington Sunday, Dec. /, to attend
the short session OF congress.
Congress will probably take action
to take over Monticello, Thomas JEFF
fersons old home, on behalf Of the
nation. A campaign to this end has
been instituted by Mrs. Maud Little
ton, wife OF Congressman Martin w
Littleton, OF New York. This ener
getic woman, besides finding time To
campaign for her husband and to talk
against Col Roosevelt in his own
district, has sent out tons OF literature
regarding the salvation OF Monticello
The Jefferson homestead, consisting
of COS acres valued at $l8,403 and
buildings worth $4,000, now belongs
to Jefferson M. Levy, congressman
from New York city. Mr.. Levy, IL Is
said. doesn't want TO part with 1t.
Mrs. Littleton has written to Con
gresham Doremus
Il am sorry that Mr. Levy opposes
such a thing. II serves to illustrate
one OF the reasons why Jefferson
home and grave should not belong To
MT. Levy OF I'd any Oluci OuS man. Du'
should belong to all the people. He
speaks OF being colleague Of You
gentlemen, and a colleague OF my
husband. You have another col
league; Thomas jefferson Is your col
league more than any other man
Though his body lies deep in for
saked grave, fiattened by brown earth,
his spirit still lives.
Need there be any plea made for
Thomas Jefferson? Is there one mem
Der of the Democratic house. now
flushed with victory, who would re-
fuse this little request for committee
of consideration? Will you hesitate In
honoring the home and grave OF JEFF
ferson, and giving it the place in the
nation due it, alongside the homes
and graves OF Washington, Jackson,
Lee and Lincoln"
In Congressman Doremus' ONCE Is
petition which all may sign who are
interested in the acquisition OF Mon
ticello by the nation.
The matter will come before con-
gress the first week OF December.

Social Service Conference of
First Unitarian Likely to
Send Man to Lansing
TO PROMOTE MEASURES
WHICH BODY FAVORS
Bill Providing for Court of Do
nestle Relations Will Be
introduced

In meeting of the social service
conference of the First Unitarian
church, Sunday noon, DR.. Eugene Rod.
man Shipper, pastor OF the church
suggested that lobbyist be employed
at the coming session OF the state
legislature in Lansing to work for the
social legislation favored by the con.
ference
Whether the conference will go into
practical politics to this extent will be
decided in its next meeting.
DIR. Shippen's suggestion came al
the close OF discussion OF the pro-
posed domestic relations court. Mrs
May McGill, probation officer in the
police court, had been asked to tell OF
the necessity OF such court. She
said that Detroit was behind other
cities in Its failure to provide for a
separate court TO handle domestic
misfortunes. DR.. Shipper called on
Ira w. Jayne, attorney for the Society
for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Chill
dren, and on George Reid, secretary
of the conference, for remarks.
Social workers feel the need OF
sucn a court Tor two purposes" said
Dr. Shipper, Monday morning First
1t is needed to deal intelligently with
and follow up cases of domestic In
felicity in the home. Second, It is
needed TO relieve the overburdened
police courts. The employment OF
Mrs. McGill has helped, but we feel
that separate court should be insti-
tuted which may devote all It's time to
these cases. We would prefer coun-
ty court. We expect that bill will
be introduced in the next legislature
creating such court; and the social
service organizations OF the city will
be asked to do everything in their
power TO push the passage of such a
bill"
