ACCUSED ALDERMEN
WANT EARLY HEARING
Detroit Cases Expected to
Keep Police Court Busy
for Several Days.

DETROIT. Mich, August 22.-When
Alderman Louis Brozo of the thirteenth
ward went in police court today it was
expected that the conclusion of his pre-
liminary examination on the charge of
having accepted bride of 500 in return
for his promise to grant municipal favors
to the Wabash railroad would be mark
ed by an immediate demand by other
accused aldermen that their cases be
heard today or as soon as possible.
Aldermen Tossy, Ostrowski and Wat
son, all asserting their innocer/e. We're
ready TO ask that they be eHher freed
from the stain OF alleged booding or
that they be held for trial. Inasmuch
as the prosecution has appeared to be
anxious to complete the preliminary hear
ings OF some of the accused aldermen
without delay. it was expected today that
the cases would keep Police Justice Stein
busy until some time next week.
Want to Question schreiter.
The defense at the hearings of Alder
man Gilman yesterday unsuccessfully
tried to have the former committee
clerk. Edward r. Schreiter. placed on
the stand by the prosecution. Attor-
neys for the councilmen hoped to be
able to cross examine Schreiter today.
as it is understood that the long con-
fession he made to the prosecuting at
torney,. in which he implicated all
eighteen aldermen, is to form part of
the strongest ammunition which the
prosecution expects to use in any of
the cases that may come to trial.
Owing to the large number of cases
that have accumulated in police court
since the graft trials We're begun, the
aldermanic cases were not scheduled
to begin until the middle of the after
noon.

One of the most important matters TO
he taken up at the twenty-ninth annual
meeting of the Laundrymen's National
Association of America. now in session in
Detroit, Mich, is the consideration of some
means of compelling the manufacturers of
fabrics to label them truthfully and to
properly prepare them for use in order
that they will not go to pieces in the
laundry after short wearing period.
The laundrymen are starting a cam
paign of public education regarding
frauds in the way of adulterated linens
and other materials, by which purchasers
are being continually victimized. Thou
sands of dollars in damages, it is claimed,
are each year collected unjustly from
laundrymen for damages supposed to have
been done in the laundry, but which are
really chargeable TO the manufacturer
of the garments. When goods are sold
on the bargain counter as seconds there
is always some defect and frequently when
il is not otherwise apparent it will be
revealed to the laundryman who washes
the garment.
y
As a matter of fact, the chemicals and

they tend to tougher it and therefore
prolong its usefulness. There are pro-
cesses used in the bleaching of fine linens
which most decidedly injure its wearing
qualities These may not he detected at
the time the article is purchased, and the
poOr wearing qualities of the linen is
unjustly charged TO the laundry The
laundrymen's association Is now working
toward the passage of a pure fabric law
which will be as absolute in its ruling as
the pure food law. and Incidentally il may
he AIDED that DIR. Wiley is an enthusiastic
indorser of 1t. claiming that it is essen
tial for the protection of the public.
One of the means taken by laundry
men in some cities to call attention to
this matter Is to offer the services OF an
expert in helping customers decide upon
the quality of materials and teach them
simple methods by which 1t may be test
ed. There are dressings put into cotton
fabrics which render it difficult for the
ordinary buyer TO distinguish it from the
linen which It's label calls it and yet in a
single washing such material is rendered
fiimsy and sleaZy. As many laundry es-
taDiiSnmentS also 1ncluOe cledn1nR Depart
ments. silks and woOlens are included in
these tests. The heavy weightings added
to silk fabrics are frequently responsible
for the small holes that penetrate 1t after
the cleaning process and not the process
itself, as is generally charged. This office
of purchasing adviser is not yet to be
found in connection with many laundries,
but it is one Of the newer things under
the consideration of the laundry organi-
cations.

Another matter of great Importance
calling for chemical knowledge in the
laundry is the treatment of spots In
clothing or household linen. formula
which will remove one kind of spot may
tend to set another more firmly. SO that
it is necessary to recognize the character
of the spot and to apply the proper Grad
cator No modern laundry is likely to
send home work with spots of rust. ill.
paint or fruit stains. and yet each Of
these requires a different agent to re-
move it.
The dealers in laundry equipment now
have complete sets of chemicals for spot
removal, together with clear directions
for their use. These are in great demand
for the small steam and also for few

means could the requisite amount of
clean linen be kept in readiness. One of
the most useful parts of the hospital
laundry equipment is the steam drying
ROOM which makes it possible to prepare
enormous quantities of linen in few
hours The hospital la -ndry is principally
for fat work, and speed is the greatest
requirement. 1t may be necessary to
have fifty sheets and several hundred
towels prepared in a few hours.
One of the chemical problems now be-
ing considered in connection with hos
nital laundry work is the deodorizing of
articles used in thesdressings of surgical
patients. So far It seems almost impossi-
bic to remove the smell of iodoform from
sheets and garments. 1t seems to cling
sometimes after several washings.
The sanitation of the steam laundry
adds much to its value in hospital. 1t
is claimed that there is no possibility OF
disease germs surviving the processes
now in use. While. of course, no pub
lie laundry will take goods. knowingly,
from any place where there is contagious
disease. it is claimed that even the cloth
ing of infectious patients might be safely
washed in a steam laundry so far as the
danger of spreading the disease in this
way is concerned. The danger would be
to the persons in the laundry who handle
the garments before they are washed.

In Hard-fought Basketball
Battle with Auburn.
Edward Little Leads by -Four

Miss Purinton's Goal Shooting Wins
The Day for the Reds.

d The Cony High school basketball
team was defeated by the Edward Lit
tie High school team, Friday evening,
at Assembly hall. u to %, in one of
the snappiest and fastest games ever
played by two High school teams in
this city.
The hall was crowded with Cony
rooters, and at times the noise made
by them was almost deafening, let
ting up hardly for moment during
the progress of the game. THIS is the
first time that Cony, basketball team
has ever been defeated in Assembly
hall by another High school team. but
this is no diseredit to the boys. for
they fought hard from start to fin
ish. and the only cause for their down
fall was that the winning team was
the stronger of the two.
The Auburn boys We're successful in
securing the first goal, but in almost
an instant after it was made Thayer,
the Cony right forward, shot a pref
ty basket from a very difficult posi-
ton. and from that time on to tae end
of the first half, one team would gain
a small lead and then the other.

one point, the score being to 5. 1t is
we'll to say. right here. that Roy
Thayer played a star game for cony,
both in shooting baskets and cover
ing his man. and if Cony had another
man like him, the result Of the game
would have been much different Capt.
Smith of the Cony team worked hard.
throughout the game, but he seemed
TO be little nervous and did not play
his usual good game.
The small lead which the couy
boys had at the end of the first period
was soon overcome by the Auburn
team i'm the second period, and Cony
was able to overtake the Edward Lit
tie boys only once after this, and then
not for long.
The last three minutes of the game
was very fast, and some good pass
ing and shooting was done by both
sides. first one side getting basket
and then the other When the whis-
tie was blown for the last time by the
referee the score stood q to % in ia
vor of the Edward Little team.
Captain Soloman and Tilton of the
winning team played excellent bas-
ketball, and the Edward Little boys
owe much to these two men for the
winning of the game. Morton. new
man, was tried out by Cony, and it
was the man who played against him,
who shot eight of the goals which were
obtained by the winning team.
