BURNS DETECTIVES
AT MICHIGAN POLLS
Watch for illegal Voting at
Primaries-Fights in
Detroit.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 27.-Hot
fights for municipal offices in Detroit
lend excitement to the Statewide
primaries in Michigan today, which
otherwise promise to be quiet Voters
this morning began balloting for can
didates for national, State, county
and city offices. and, as the polls in
some places do lot close until late
tonight, significant returns are not
expected before Wednesday morning.
Although there are three tickets
the Republican, Democratic and Pro-
many nomination contests for the
more important offices. 1t has been
generally predicted that the total vote
will be rather light. Less than two
thirds of Detroit's voting strength
was registered for the primaries.
William Alden Smith has no oppo-
sition for denomination for United
States senator on the Republican
ticket, but the Progressives have
Theodore NJ. Joslin, mayor Of Adrian,
IN the field, while the Democrats have
Alfred Lucking, of Detroit, n
George P. Hummer fighting for the
right to bear their party's standard.
There are no party contests for con-
gressman-at-large.
The only contest for governor is be-
tween Secretary of State Fred G.
Martindale and Amos Musselman. of
Grand Rapids, Republicans. The
Democratic candidate is Woodbridge
n. Ferris, of Big Rapids, and he
Progressive nominee will be Whitney
Watkins, of Jackson.
With Detective William j. Burns
and many of his operatives on hand,
in an effort to prevent illegal voting,
much of the primary interest Is
centred in Detroit. Mayor william
B.. Thompson is a candidate for re-
election on the Democratic. ticket, INT
has Justice E.. j. Jeffries as his OPP
ponent. Both the Republican and
Progressives have more than n can
didate after the mayoralty nomina-
ton. In fact, nearly every city office
is being sought by candidates galore.

And there was note In her voice that
warned Della to make no further COM

mirror showed plainly her resentment.
That day passed and still Helen heard
nothing from "R. Y. ia" But the next
morning. about TO- the phone rang and
an unfamiliar woman's voice asked to
speak to Mrs. Curtis.
This is Mrs. Curtis" said Helen.
You answered my advertisement about

fresher one. and again went over the
spare room with the duster.
She had not the slightest idea how to
receive an applicant for a furnished
room. nor did she know what rate to
ask. But she hoped to gain some idea Of
this from the woman herself.
The half hour had not quite passed
when the phone rang again and Mrs.
Morrison, was announced THE name
sounded quite and well bred. Helen pic
tured a modest little woman. widow,
probably in mourning. But when mo-
ment later she opened the door It was
to an overdressed and rather flashy look
ing woman, She wore an immense plumed
hat with heavily dotted veil through
which the rogue and powder and the
metallic yellow OF her hais were plainly
evident And with every movement came
a Whit OF heavy French perfume.

Helen flushed at the womans impera-

the end Of the hall. Mrs. Morrison scru-
tinized the Immediately clean bathroom
and shot shrewd glance into the open
doors Of the dining and sitting room as
she passed.
Now what do you ask for this?" she
demanded abruptly as she re-entered the
spare room.
Eight dollars" answered Helen des-
perately, thinking she was putting upon

Yet with each fresh onslaught cloud ranks were II
