st. Louis, Aug. 30.-Bandages and
the smell of carbolic acid were much
in evidence at Arthur Volkenning's

daughter, Carrier, IL years old, could
hardly do their homework for the en-
swathing strips about their arms and
hands.
Henry Volkenning, % years old, had
similar covering about his neck, and
pieces Of cotton soaked in healing oils
were fastened to his back. The hus-
band and stepfather, whose reckless
handling of the acid, with threats Of
swallowing 1t, caused the others to be
burned, was in the city hospital.

volkenning, who is AZ years old, was
a widower with one son when, six
years ago, he married the widow of his
brother, Henry VoIkenning.
Her son, Henry, the oldest Of her
three children, was then 16 years old.
Volkenning, at the hospital, Monday,
complained that Mrs. Volkenning's
favoritism to this son had caused the
family trouble.
Henry earned slightly more than his
stepfather, and this, Volkenning said.

Yesterday was pay day at Fort Bar
rancas and the members of the seven

master during the day, as each of the
seven companies contains over 100
men, and besides there are large
number in the band.
Several hundred of the men were in

The first time, in the morning. he
poised the acid near his mouth, In the
presence of his stepdaughter. Carrie.
She knocked the glass containing the
poison from his hands, burning her
own wrists and hands.
Later, his wife took the acid bottle
from his pocket as he lay sleeping on a
sofa, and threw it away. In the after
noon he went to a drug store and got
a new supply of acid. and returning
poured some in a glass AS his wife
was not there, he sent Tony Volken-
ming, youngest of his stepchildren, to
call her.
"Good-by," he said as she and her
son, Henry, appeared, and he lifted the
acid toward his mouth again.
Mrs. Volkenning struck his hand
scattering the burning liquid on him,
on herself and even on Henry, who
had turned his head away Henry

making painful burns. Volkenning had
his mouth open, and few drops OF the
poison went into his mouth, making
it necessary to remove him to the
hospital.

DETROIT NOT AFFECTED
BY JUSTICE COURT ACT
ASST PROS. KILPATRICk.

Assistant Prosecutor Arthur Kill
patrick sent to Thomas A. Lawlor,
deputy attorney-general. Lansing, FRI
day morning, an opinion to the effect
that he believes the law providing
that cities OF not less than 100000
population shall be entitled 10 but
two justices OF the peace does not az
feet Detroit, inasmuch as the act
under which the local justices courts
are operated Is not embodied In the
city charter.
The title of the act, which, Il was
thought, would rob Detroit Of two JUS
tees, Is as follows:
IAN act to provide for justice
courts In all cities OF not less than
one hundred thousand population, In.
corporated prior to the enactment OF
Act No. 279 Of the public acts OF 1909,
whose justice court acts are included
In their present charters, and to re-
peal all acts and parts OF acts incon-
sistent with this act"
Mr.. Fitzpatrick. In his opinion, says:
1--WE do not consider II necessary
to institute any proceedings to de-
termine whether or not Act 299 OF the
p. A., 1911, applies to the city OF De-
troit On the contrary, we are con-
WINGED, after very careful examina-
ton of the charter and statutes, that

BALMY WEATHER

Two Weeks More Would Dermi.
Finish Of All Wolk
on Hand

IF this weather will only continue
for two weeks" said Secretary Por-
ter Murphy, Of the d. p. W., Friday
morning. "all our fall work will be
done.
I'VE have had very hard time get
ting materials. There has been a
rush OF fall building, and the con-
tractors have pushed the supply men
hard to get sand, cement and other
building materials. The result has
been that prices have gone up, and
as the city has yearly contracts the
supply men have preferred to neglect
the city's orders and to turn their at
tention to those OF the contractors,
who can pay higher prices.
I'VE have been forced in some In
stances TO buy cement outside our
contract, and have paid as high as
$40 for It, where our contract calls
for so cents. We simply had to have
the cement and couldn't get II unless
we paid the price. We have also been
held up on sand and brick. l under
stand that the price of cement has
gone as high as $40 this fall,
I'VE have done tremendous
amount of work this season-about
100000 worth Of paving alone. But
people don't understand our working
conditions. They think we're not
speedy enough. They don't realize
that our grading gangs must precede
or pavement men by several days.
and that the concrete foundations
have to be given time to set. They
think that work should be continuous
on the job until It's finished.
IF the weather continues like to-
day, well be able to finish every Job
we have laid out within two weeks.
We are not opening any new street
Jobs; the only undertakings are few

MARX MUM ON CROUL
POSTCARD SHOWER

Mayor-elect Marx had on his desk,
Friday morning, a stack Of about 1l6
postcards, which had been sent out by
the Detroit Civic Uplift league. and
had been mailed by It's members.
Look at this pile" commented Mr..
Marx. About 100 Of these cards are
unsigned. Those who have mailed
them have forgotten to write their
names and addresses In the blabk
spaces How do ! know who sends
them
A bunch which had been sent by
the league to church officer who
couldn't be found, also came TO Mr..
Marx by mail, the postofhce officials
being evidently unaware OF the place
where the cards originated.
Mr.. Marx refused TO comment on
the postcard campaign, and would say
nothing OF its probable influence on
his decision.
