LANDLORD And
TENANT SQUABBLE
Furious Fracas Results When
Latter Attempts to Remove
Sign Put Up by Former

When Henry Levy. pawnbroker, No.
73 Gratiot-ave.. rushed opt OF his
store. Tuesday morning, and furious
ly began shaking 14-foot ladder up
on which a workman was poised
while removing a sign which Cyrus
Kaiser, conducting a clothing busi-
ness over Levy's shop, declared OBJ
structed his view. Kaiser sailed" In
to Levy with such effect that the
"ories OF the wounded brought a
half dozen trafic officers, four motor
cycle officers and auto patrol and sew
eral patrolmen TO the scene OF the
carnage In jiffy.
Kaiser sublets from Levy, and, Mon
day, SO Kaiser alleges, Levy caused
second-story windows OF Kaiser's
shop, to which Kaiser strenuously' OBJ
jected, naturally. He told Levy the
sign must come down. but Levy said
nay. After all ordinary ways and
means OF making Levy come TO rea-
son had been exhausted. Kaiser says
he determined to remove the sign
himself, so early Tuesday morning,
set gang to work to take down the
sign. When Levy arrived he could
think of nothing better to do than TO
try TO dislodge the unoffending work
man from the ladder.
The combatants were taken to the
central sation and Immediately ar
raigned in police court.
When arraigned before Justice JEFF
fries on a charge OF disturbing the
peace. soon after their arrest, both
Kaiser and Levy claimed that the
other had started the trouble.
Justice Jeffries ruled that Kaiser
should have taken the sign argument
into the civil courts in the first place
INSTEAD OF tearing down the sign, and
he fined Kaiser $40 and discharged
Levy.
Kaiser paid. but is contemplating ar
appeal.

OF Steven Rogulski, charged with kill
ing Walter Dahlman on the Ford farm,
Dearborn, last December. was COM

on the farm. asked Dahlman Tor bis
shotgun, and, getting II, started Off.

The police department took a par

a list OF IL, of whom only three had
received permits from the council
They had been In Detroit various
periods from three months to- 40
years and more. Some were blind,
some had arms or legs missing, one
was called rheumatic" and ono was
subject TO epilepsy. They made their
living by selling pencils, slice laces
and flowers, or by singing.
Some OF these people feel that they

merchants, engaged In lawful occu-
patton. IL Is a hard question 10

town for few days, keepinfi watch OF

things get too hot for them.
ITO rid the streets of these people,
there must be cooperation among the
city departments. The commission Is

these men, discover their living condi.

some crippled men who are peddlers

wagons who have a trade. though they
undoubtedly rely on their affliction az

IN LENTEN SERVICE
Archdeacon Lord Makes Practi'
cal Address to Gathering
in Miles Theater

Unless all philanthropic and in
stitutlonal church work is founded on
the religion OF Jesus Christ, II goes
for naugllt,7 said Archdeacon Lord,
OF Sault Ste. Marie, to the MONDAY
Lenten service gathering in the Miles
ptheater, Tuesday.
I'VE must learn the spirit OF Jesus,
the comforter. The business OF the
Christian church Is TO act as com
forter, and II is your business and
mine. II Is for all TO comfort those
OF us who are weary, and worn, and
tired OF the great stress of this life
of ours. IL has always seemed TO me
that the big policeman who stands on
the busy crossing and assists little
timid school child across the street,
or hesitatingly elderly person, with
a firm hand and a cheerful smile, is
a comforter.
Somehow the traffic policemen are
always strong and stalwart and cheeE
full. We need to be helpers TO each
other across the broadway OF lise.
The school teacher who helps the
little tired head and hand trying so
hard 20 do a sum, Is a comforter;
the mother to whom the children, and
even the grown-up sons and daugh-
ters turn to smooth out the creases
In play or life's problens. is the
sweetest OF comforters. Jesus Christ
Is the greatest. most dependable,
most loving and gentle, OF all com.
forters. II We go to Him when we
are footsore and weary, when we are
bowling under the burden OF life In
Its May changing aspects. it's high
cost OF living, its tremendous respon
sibilities, He will give us comfort
and smooth the way which seems sc
rough and stony"
Archjeacon Lord will speak every
day this week, In the MONDAY ser

PRINTER NABBED
ON ARSON CHARGE
Elmer Bennett, Suspected of
Crime Here, Is Arrested in
Howell, Mich.

Elmer Bennett, printer Al years
old. was brought TO Detroit from
Howell. Monday night, by Detective
John Steinhebel. TO answer a charge
OF arson, preferred by NJ. w. Potter, OF
No. SO Henry-st., owner OF \ house al
No, III Spruce-st.. which was fired last
September. while BENEFITS divorced
wife was living there. The woman is
now living on Chene-st. and is said TO
have married again.
Benefits arrest has political
trend. He made the mistake OF sup
posing that a change OF sheriffs in
Livingstone county would allow him
TO roam around Howell. unmolested,
after once escaping from the former
sheriff In comic opera style.
Bennett had been sought by the
local police ever since the fire. The
search was directed toward Howell,
as he was acquainted there, and the
sheriff. who knew him. was asked TO
arrest him. He did his best,
Meeting Bennett on the street, he
attempted TO grab the elusive Mr..
Bennett, who gave him a hot race for
several blocks, and Just as the sneriff
was overhauling him. "ducked" as
boys do when they play leapfrog. The
sheriff played the part OF the frog. but
landed on his head, not being used
to the game.
When the sheriff came to, Bennett
was well on his way to Pontiac, where
he stayed for some time.
Then new sheriff was elected and
installed, and Bennett returned 10
Howell few days ago. In that he
made bad mistake. as he VS. soon
behind the bars, waiting for objective
Steinhebel.
Bennett, charged with arson, mead
ed not guilty when arraigned before
Justice Jeffries and will have hear
