Accidentally Kills Himself.

Coroner J F. Stockard was called Sunday evening to hold an inquest over the body of Jim Lee, who was found dead at his home on that date with bullet hole through his body. The bullet entering under the left armpit, pierced his heart, coming out just below the right nipple The first theory advanced with reference to the death of Lee was to the effect that he had committed suicide, but the coroners jury decided that the negro shot himself accidentally, while changing his clothes to go to church. The report of the coroners jury rela- tive to the killing has it, that while Lee was changing his pants, the pistol dropped out of one of the pockets to the floor and was discharged, while Lee was in a stopping position, the bullet passing through his body as described above, resulting in his death almost instantly. It is also stated that two pistols were found near Lees body, by the coroner's jury. Lee was tenant on MT. John W
 Naylor'S place at Bonair.

VICE CRUSADE IS
GOOD ADVERTISING.
JOHN GILLESPIE. 4
Desirable Publicity Boosts City,
Police Commissioner Tells
Adcraft Club

Police Commissioner Gillespie told
the members OF the Adcraft club, at
MONDAY luncheon, in the club
rooms, Tuesday. that ne attributed
his success In municipal work to the
large amount Of newspaper publicity
he has been able to secure. The COM
missioner admitted that he liked adj
vertising and lots OF it--preferably|
tront-page advertising with scare
heads.
In his talk the commissioners dfs-
cussed the advertising value of the
vice crusade and various other under}
takings OF the Marx Administrations
such as the threecent bus line, IN
famous street car uItimatum, etc. n
did not mention the advertising vale
OF his saloon policy, nor did he did
cuss machine politics.
During my administration I VIII
endeavor to make Detroit a safer city,
improve its moral standard, and giv(
II all the favorable publicity possi}
bie," said the commissioner. "You
advertising men who appreciate tho
value of publicity know that you CAM
not buy those front page articles at1
any price.
Publicity will make Detroit a
larger and more prosperous city. Peo1
pie all over the country read about
our tnree-cent bus line, not that the
line proved much Of a success, but
the fact that q three-cent fare was
charged gave the proposition news
value and Detroit got the publicity. i
The same Is true of the street car
ultimatum. Street car fights are as|
old as the hills, but when the city,
threatened to fire the cars OF the1
streets-that was something OF inter-
est to people all over the country.
THE vice crusade was similar|
advertising success. Thousands OIL
good people will come to Detroit as
the result OF the publicity given our
cleanup of the vice district"
The commissioner also mentioned
the automobile parking problem. He
said he was In no hurry to clear on
the streets, or to advocate q subway
because In his opinion crowded thor
oughfares we're fine evidences of a
city's prosperity and visitors were
impressed.
