Detroit's most prosperous year
passed into history at midnight, Sun
day, and today the advent of 1912 is
being observed with the customary
formalities.
As usual, after watch night" the
city was slow to pull itself together
Monday morning. The downtown
streets were all but deserted In the
early forenoon, but the customary re-
ceptions in the mayors office. the
Board OF Commerce and elsewhere
brought out the crowds towards noon.
Mayor Thompson has invited all the
city officials, including the aldermen.
to join him in receiving New Years
visitors in the executive Offices from
II to o'clock. For the first time In
a good many years the mayors recep-
tion will be dry" not even punch or
lemonade being served. His honor
has laid in a generous quantity or
cigars, however.
The Board Of Commerce, in accord
ance with its annual custom, received
In the assembly room on the second
floor. An elaborate buffet lunch was
served, ana there was liberal supply
OF punch. All the officers, directors
and former presidents Of the organiza-
tion were In the receiving line, as well
as city and county officials and mill
tary officers from Fort Wayne.
Supt OF Police John j. Downey held
his usuhf New Years reception for the
officers of the force In police head
quarters during the forenoon and each
.lAak ifz1 1actEzl. - a 81 s. ,
Several of the Offices In the county
building held open house, notably the
road commissioners.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton will hold an open house and car
nival this afternoon and evening, be-
ginning with program Of athletic and
vaudeville stunts. Two fencing
matches have been arranged and there
will be wrestling and boxing contests
galore. A basketball game between
the Leaders club and the ~" re-
serves will close the evening festivi-
ties. There will be a concert In the
lobby, beginning at 2::30 o'clock, which
will be given by the Twenty-sixth reg
iment orchestra. In the auditorium
there will be continuous moving pic
ture show from 2:30 to 1880 p. m.
Supper will be served to all who care
to remain from $3.50 TO 1880.
With the New Year came a touch
of real winter weather, with the mer-
curry well below the freezing point.
Observer Conger predicts. that the
temperature will go down to about 10
above, toward evening. The Official
registered IL degrees at
z o'clock Monday morning.
Probably because II was Sunday.
the New Years eve celebration was
the Quietest In years. To all intents
and purposes, Saturday night was
New Years eve In the downtown
cafes. All offered tempting special
dinners and the tables were reserved

AVIATOR ATWOOD SAVED
FROM DEATH IN OCEAN
Meets Accident Shortly After He
Starts To Fly To Portland,
Maine.

LYNN, Mass. Jan. Harry N.
Atwood narrowly escaped death to-
day when he fell into the ocean near
Point OF Pines from height OF 100
feet. shortly after he started from here
to Portland. Maine, In his hydro
aeroplane at 1880.
The machine was going nicely
when the engine stopped and Atwood
glided to the water. Three fisher
men put out to him.. but he called out
that he was all right. From his seat
he managed to start the engine and
appeared to be rising from the water
when a wave broke over him, drench-
Ing the magnetic and tipping the
machine backward. 1t began to sink
and Atwood crawled up on the for
ward shoes. calling for help.
The rescuers reached him as he
was sinking. He Was brought to q
sioeals hotel nons "a. y worse Tor his
experience. He said he would try to
fly to Portland tomorrow.
The machine is on the mud fats
IL feet under water with the for
ward end showing above the surface.

TO RIP. SUGAR COATING
FROM THOMPSON PLAN
Council Likely To Change Form
in Which Proposition VIII
Be Submitted.

There seems to be little doubt but
that the common council, Tuesday
night, will reconsider its action OF q
week ago In voting to submit the
Gilman municipal ownership bill aud
the Thompson street car franchise TO
vote, Jan. 23, to the exclusion OF all
others II is practically certain that
the form OF the Thompson proposi-
ton on the ballot. SO unfairly drawn
by Corporation Counsel Hally, will be
changed by the aldermen, and It rs
Elso probable that at least one ether
bill, will be submitted at the same
time. So 1t would appear that the
steam roller, which was so much In
evidence last Tuesday night, did its
work almost too well. b
Opposition to the mayors proposed
franchise for the ID. u. r. continues
10 gFot es its sfiaNs .becope more and
more apparent. Ohe of the fRvuffte
arguments OF the Board OF Commerce
advocates OF the measure iss that the
growth OF the city demands the ex-
tensions provided for In the ord;-
nance In this same connection, how
ever, one very serious objection is
apparent. and has to do with the
question OF a subway.
II Is quite generally admitted that
Detroit Is getting to point where n
subway Is becoming an absolute me-
cessity. The subway, OF course.
would have TO be under the principal
streets. but with the ID. u. r. in pos
session OF the proposed franchise, the
city would very likely experience
great diffculty in proceeding with
subway plans until after 1924. when
the franchises expire.
Mayor Thompson. II Is learned. Is
making arrangements to institute a
billboard campaign after the plan fol-
lowed by the late Mayor Pingree. He
will issue bulletins at frequent inter
walls calculated to impress on the peo-
pie the good points" In the ordinance
and 10 answer his opponents.
Not q cent will be spent In boost
ing the ordinance" said the mayor
early I'm the campaign. This Is the
peoples measure They can accept
II or reject 1t, Just as they please"

Knights of Zion, in Convention

To buy whole country--this Is the
object or the Knights of Zion, Jew
ish organization. now in annual con-
yention In Detroit, and toward this
giant enterprise they now have q fund
OF 100000 marks, or $625,O0O.
Palestine, the ancient home OF the
Jews, is the country the Knights have
in view. II is land containing 32,-
900 square miles, and capable >of sup
porting 100000 people.
The work OF winning back this land
for the Jew has already started, and
already 30 prosperous colonies have
been established. schools have been
opened fechn4cai aaa agi15u ftssfi1f
colleges have been started and fac
tories are being erected. Two COM
panies are now buying up all the land
they can acquire, and this is sold to
Jews at cost. The organization has
also established I'm London. England,
the Colonial bank, which loans money
to Jewish agriculturists In Palestine
at low interest.

tine. our ancient home" said a dele
gate Monday. 'and we hope to ac-
quire the land by peaceful methods
The suggestion has been made that
We ask the powers TO take the land
from the Turks and give Il to us, bur
this we will not do. We want TO pay
for IL. We already have the friend
ship OF Turkey In our colonization
schemes, and the Turks have assured
us perfect freedom In our religious
and business life. One of our pros
porous colonies already pays to the
Turkish government $4,000 year in
taxes, where a few years ago the gov
ernment got but a few dollars. and
that had to be wrung from the starv-
ing natives at the point OF the bayo-
net"
their membership largely from the
Jews who have settled in America
during the present generation. The
Jews who have always lived In Amer
ica know nothing OF the persecution
to which the race was subjected I'm
the old country and, therefore, have
not the same incentive to help in the
work of creating national home for
the people.
The organization Is worldwide in
its scope, and the delegates at pres
ent in Detroit include several OF the
leading Jewish scholars and business
men in the country.

Three Hundred Shots a Minute.

Fifteen ~well-aimed shots in nine sec
onds Is the record of Sergeant Major
Wa1lfngford of England with the new
Halle automatic rifle, writes Dewey
Sheldon Beebe In Technical World
Magazine for September. He made
n target of fifteen shots in nine Sec
onds, and another of forty shots in
one minute. Every one of these shots.
fred at 200 yards, came within a cir
che of fifteen inches in diameter-in
every case he would have hit his man.
a he been in battle.
1t is not every marksman who can
shoot as well as Sergeant Major Wall
ifigford, but his feat thrusts before
the military world the tremendous pos
sibilities of the automatic rife. That
this weapon is the military small arm
the future has been the opinion OF
many experts, but the efficiency of the
automatic rifle has not before now
demonstrated by such conclusive
tests. Some of the advantages OF the
Halle over other automatic rifles are
that the automatic mechanism is
worked by the recoil of the gun and
not by compressed gas drawn from the
barrel, and that it is a short recoil
rather than a long recoil gun. The
obvious advantage of a short recoiI is
the lesseTlfng of the shock to the gun
and its mechanism. Also, in long re-
coil rifle it is necessary that the recoil
be as quick al possible, SO that the
barrel must be made light, which ia
an added source OF weakness.
