Auto Chemical Called.

About S.30 o'clock Friday morning, the auto chemical was called to the residence of Congressman Edwin W. Higgins at 131 Union street, by Mrs Higgins, who smelled smoke in the house. Upon investigation, it was found that a smoke pipe from a heat CT was too close to the woodwork and that the heat had started to burn it. The fire was quickly put out and no damage was done to the house, which is owned by Charles T. Ward. The pipe has been moved away from the woodwork, so that there will be no danger of another fire.

This week instead of holding their regular Wednesday evening meeting at the club house on Oneco street, the members of the Good Will club met as usual, but adjourned almost immedi- ately after voting that a pretty pink and green silkoline quilt should be presented the Sheltering Arms.

 After adjournment the club, chaper- oned by Mrs. Hooper, took a moon light walk which had been promised for some time, stopping long enough ct the Sheltering Arms, where the vis- 1t was not unexpected by the matron, to play and sing to the members of the household. and to leave the quilt.

-DU POINTS $4,000 Bill. is
SENT BACK TOCOMMITTEE
Aldermen Disposed To Make
Some Sort of Allowance
To Traction Man

A. b. du Pont will receive some
compensation for his services in be-
half OF the city during the recent ne
eotiations with the ID. ". r. This
was the concensus of opinion among
the aldermen, Tuesday night, when
the council reconsidered its rejection
of his bill for $1,000 and sent it back
to the committee on claims and ac-
counts. The aldermen expressed
themselves in favor OF paying him
for work he did. but what sum he
will receive is conjectural.
The claims and accounts committee
sent to Mr.. du Pont today a request
that he put in an itemized statement
of his expenses, specifying when and
where he was consulted by city on
Gals and the fee charged for such
consultation. The purpose II to
bring Mr. du Pont before the CON-
mittee, some resentment being voiced
in the council that the bill came to
the aldermen through the mayor and
not directly to the council.
Aid. Brozo led the fight for recon-
sideration, declaring that justice had
not been done Mr. du Pont.
The night we voted. this down the
aldermen were saying, to one an.
other: I'll vote for this, or, I'll vote
against this II you That Is no
way to transact business Even II
Mr.. du Point did appear before the
aldermen but twice at their solicita-
ton / say we are morally bound to
nav him for those two CONSUL
tations"
Aid. McCarty said the franchise or
dinance was practically complete
when the mayor first let the council
in on his dealings with the d. u.
r., and intimated that the expense
after that time was mainly for Mr.
du Points assisting the mayor in his
campaign for the franchise. He con-
strued the charter to forbid the coun=
ell paying the bill for work done
secretly for the mayor anad prior
to the time when the council knew
of the plans
"The mayor "toted" Mr.. du Pont
around to his meetings" said Aid.
Gutman. Does Mr.. du Pont want
pay for that? The people turned
down the franchise and | think the
council should follow their lead and
turn down this bill. We don't want
to pay Mr.. du Pont for trying to ram
down the peoples throats something
the people didn't want. Mr.. du Pont
hasn't come to the council with his
bill. The mayor puts In this bill,
not Mr.. du Point"

COUNCIL PROVIDES FOR
RE-ROUTING OF ST, CARS
New Scheme Will Improve Ser
vice on Grand River-Money
Asked For Subway Plans

The council unanimously adopted
Aid. Harpfer's resolution, Tuesday
night, providing for the re-routing OF
street cars on the west side in way
that will improve the service on
Grand River and Trumbull avenues
and Myrtle street. The company can
make the new arrangement when 4
Is convenient to do so.
All Jefferson cars will run out to the
end OF Grand River avenue line, in
stead OF some turning onto Myrtle as
at present. This arrangement will in
crease the number OF cars consider
ably, on the Grand River avenue line
west OF Trumbull avenue, where now
long delays are frequently encount-
cred.
To replace the present Myrtle line
new line will be established to run
from the westerly terminus of Myrtle
down Grand River avenue to Girls
void and Michigan and thence over
the route of the present Trumbull line
east to Field and Jefferson avenues,
thence back TO Myrtle.
Trumbull cars will be run around
q loop on Griswold, Congress and
Bates streets and Cadillac square
back to Michigan-ave.
The committee on judiciary will
consider Aid. Vernor's new street car
service ordinance at 10 o'clock Thurs
day morning.
The commissioner OF public works
was instructed to put in supple
mental estimate Of $4,000 for preli-
minary plans for subway. AS was
suggested by Commissioner Haarer in
The Times recently, the resolution as
submitted by the committee on pub
lie utilities asks that the plans con-
slider the building OF subway IN
Michigan and Fort-sts. as well as In
Woodward.ave.
Aid. Littlefield submitted resolu.
ton to have the city controller adj
vertise for coal to supply all city
departments, including the board OF
education and the water board, on the
theory that the city can save money
by getting bids on the entire supply
instead of cutting 1t up In half dozen
or more contracts.
