and British warships speeding toward
Beyrout and practically all OF the
European countries protesting against

diplomatic remonstrances were ex-
pected 10 be delivered 10 Italy today.
The fact that Italy failed 10 give
the "A hours notice, provided by IL
ternational law before Smelling the
city and that she broke her promise
to confine her operations TO Tripolt
has caused the greatest Indignation.
IL was learned semi-odicially today

he did not attempt TO shell the city,
as a lame excuse. II was pointed out
that the Turkish gunboats were ly!ne

ANN ARBOR, Mich. FeD. 26.-Bert
Wildsmith, of Ypsilanti. who Is accus-
ed of beating an adopted baby, which
died in that city, has been arrested IN
Kalamazoo. where he formerly nved.
Word to this effect was received TO-DAY
and deputy sheriff started at once
for that place TO bring him back.
The baby died Saturday night, and
the physician who was called, found
its little body mass OF bruises. lie
also found the left arm broken. TIC
reported 10 the police, and Mrs.
Wildsmith was taken into custody.
She accompanied the officers willi'.g-
~, saying she wanted 10 put one
over on Bert" Then she told a tale
OF cruelty that made her hearers
shudder
She SAYS that about month ago
her husband whipped the baby los
three hours and 10 minutes, causing
a severe illness. Last "Wednesday
she claims her husband attempted ID
teach the baby 10 walk. but beirg

until she fought with him 10 protect
the baby, cutting a cash over his eye
with a stove poker Then he dis
appeared.
Mrs Wildsmith says she fed The
baby Saturday night. at the usual
time, and put IL 10 bed, and then
went to spend the evening with some
friends. She returned three times to
look Al II. she says. and 1t seemed 70
be sleeping quietly. Later she found
il dead. and called a physician. He
said Ii had been dead two hours.
- The baby was adopted from q pri'
vate hospital conducted by Miss Liz.
zie Mari at No. 81 Henry-st., Detroit.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wildsmith have
a prison record. Three years ago
they both served 80 days in Kalama.

she served three and one-half years
in the Detroit House OF Correction
for assaulting a boy in Cadillac, aud
later she served time for beating her

throwing them -strng Cling into jail, all
without warrant OF law, forcibly re-
minded one OF Russian and Turkish
brutalities TO Jews and Armenians.
The fact that such a thing occurs In
America Is startling. and shows how
far our institutions have been degrad-
ed by ayarice.
The women and children were per
fectly peaceable when they were forci-
by stopped IN their attempt 70 board
a railroad train. In some instances
they were cursed and abused by the
wagon. the women thrown into jail
and the children incarcerated at the
poor farm. The police contention that
these people did not have the right
TO send their children in the care OF
friends TO other cities 10 simply ridicu-
lous. They have the same right to
do so that anyone has.
The true significance OF this pro-
ceeding is not simply it's effect on
these people. but II is an assault upon
the rights of every American citizen.
A good many eulogies OF the constitu-
ton are heard nowadays This al
fords an opportunity 10 test their gen.
nineness. IL crowds OF peaceable peo-
pie can be assaulted by offlcials OF the
government, brutally treated. and in
generated without any charge OF VIC
lation of law being made or sustained
against them. Instead or being con-
stitutional government OF liberty UNI
der the law il becomes one OF money
and force. and people everywhere will
soon be adjusting themselves 10 this
new condition.
IL is OF the most vital significance.
II in exercising the right to the peace
full pursuit OF their domestic AFFAIRS
these people can be arrested without
warrant, and without any pretense
that they have violated the law, then
any OF us are liable TO be treated in
the same way whenever 1t suits the
interests of those having the physical
power TO do so. II We can be confined
In this way within the city We can
also be deported forcibly from the city
when II is desirable for these aston
ishing authorities TO do so.
II these people can be forcibly kept
in Lawrence at the pleasure OF the
millowners, TO work at starvation
wages or starye, then they are in real
ity slaves, and II is not desirable for
any of us that slavery should be re-
established in this country.

ASH ORDINANCE WILL
CAUSE FIGHT IN COUNCIL
Aid. Schultz Will Submit Minor
ity Report on Measure Re-
ported Out by Committee

There will be q fight in the common
council over Frank d. Hovey's ash
ordinance. which requires every house
holder TO provide 3 receptacle OF
brick, cement or galvanized iron for
ashes and other domestic rubbish.
This Is entirely separate from Mr..
Hoyey's garbage ordinance, which will
not be in readiness TO report out Tues
day night. A majority of the ordi-
nance committee, Monday morning,
voted to report out tavorably AT that
time. however, and Aid. Schultz iu-
structed the committee clerk to draw
up minority report.
The ordinance is almost identical
with one introduced about two years
ago and defeated after a bitter debate.
II fought for the passage OF the
other ordinance. and I'll fight Just as
hard for this one. said Aid. Allan,
chairman OF the committee. II be-
lieve it's good ordinance. and don't
see where there are any good grounds
for opposing IT,
The committee ordered the corpora.
llOn COUNSEL, III Te-uTdlllnB The gar
bage ordinance, TO include a provision
for the disposal OF stable refuse. IL IS
expected that this ordinance will be
in shape to report out a week from
Tuesday.
! The corporation counsel was also in.
structed TO at once prepare an ordl.
nance prohibiting the blowing OF Japa.
nesc snuff and the dropping OF foul.
! smelling chemicals in theaters ana
other public places.
A representative OF the local Pinker-
ton detective agency appeared with
I & protest against the ordinance passed
, by the council two or three weeks ago
requiring all private detectives TO be
licensed. He suggested that the ordi.
nance be amended so as to permit al
agency employing several detectives
to take out license in the name OF
the agency. He explained that fire.
quently men are called into Detroit
from other agencies just for a day or
two, and thought II would be an in
justice TO require man TO take out
a license under those circumstances.
Other agencies are also protesting and
the committee will give them all n
hearing next Monday. when the police
will also have representatives present.
