Profit
AUTO BUS LINE Is
MONEY-MAKER, TOO
Boat Business is Biggest Win
ner, With Profit of
$500

The city of Detroit made a net
profit OF $4,000 this last summer on
the refectories and boat liveries at
Belle Isle. according 10 report sub
mitted to Commissioner Dust, Thurs.
day morning, by William Gearing. di
rector Of the park privileges.
The boat business showed more
profit than any other single enter
prise, the balance in favor OF the city
being $6.S00. The auto 5us lire also
showed a profit Of several thousand
dollars, as did the bath house. The
Casino lost money.
Park Commissioner Dust has decid.
ed to install the coupon system in con.
nection with the city's Belle Isle en-.
terprises. Instead OF having the wait
resses at the casino, for instance,
take money for ice cream, sand
wiches and coffee, and make change,
they will take nothing but coupons
and Belle Isle visitors Will be sup
posed to supply themselves With
coupons upon reaching the island, and
use coupons to pay for everything
they buy.
II they have coupons left over after
to their desires, they
can be taken back to the one cashier
and the money will be refunded.

TAKES HIS CASE
TO JUDGE HUBERT

For 1t, and Mary and Angelica
Are Satisfied

A modern Solomon has appeared in

He is only eight years old. but his
work is patterned az carefully after
that OF the Biblical character as pos
sible.
Tommy appeared in the ONCE OF the
Juvenile court. Thursday. looking for
Judge Hubert. With him were Mary
and Angelica. sisters. and Tommy's
cousins.
Under Tommy's arm was q doll. q
waxen creature of curls and laces and
silken attire. II was the doll that
had brought the trio to the court and
the story was told to George Read,
chief clerk.
Z "You see." began Tommy Il read
about Judge Hubert being the Kids
'5nAss and Mary here wasn't satisfied
with what I did,"
what did you doy' asked the clerk.
"Well. Aunt Matilda came to visit
US last week and when she left she
bought doll for the girls. She just
put card on that said. For my little
nieces." Mary and Angelica couldn't
fix II up who was to have the doll
the most and they came over to my
house, live next door--to ask me.
I tried to get them to share 1t every
other day. but they wouldn't do 1t, so
said would cut the doll In two and
they could each have half. One could
have the head and the other the legs,
and change every day, and ] got the
carving knife on the table and then
they cried so came down here. We
was going to leave II to papa. but he
just laughed at u.s."
"Hum!" said the clerk. That's
quite problem"
The little folks stood In semi-cir-
Gle waiting the solving Of the problem
and the clerk was at loss.
'T tell you." he said. (Which can
run the fastest?'
Il can" said both little girls at
once.
Good" said Mr.. Read. Nov you
race down to the end OF the hall and
back and the first one here gets the
doll for this week and the other for
next week"
The girls started and Mary won. In
her arms was placed the doll.
Huh" said Tommy. That's what
said first"

this afternoon. II was started In the
yards of the Scribner Lumber Co.. To-
Gated about quarter OF a mile from

day by two fires.
Two persons VINO were early on the
scene OF the FIRE at tie Scribner yards,

they declared. prove conclusively that
the firebugs were at work, intent on
destroying the extensive property oil

lions OF dollars.
Fears are entertained that the In

after darkness tonight, and that the
damage done already VIII be ou'
trifling as compared to what may hap

The local fire fighters have been
busy fighting flames and preventing
their spread since last night, and
they are completely exhausted and In
no way fit TO fight new fires. The two

OF U. S. SHIPPING
State Department Makes Inquiry
Regarding Seizure of
Copper

WASHINGTON. Oct. 29.-The seiz.
ure at Gibraltar by British authorities
of two Italian vessels. the San Giovan-
nj and the Regina Italia, carrying car.
goes of American copper, was report.
ed to the state department today.
The report of the seizures was re-
ceived from four copper companies In
New York, shippers OF the cargoes
held. They requested the state de
partment to make protests to Great
Britain against conffscation.
The state department cabled the
American consul at Gibraltar for an
of the detention Of the
vessels. In this connection q report
was also awaited from the consul re-
garding the seizure OF the Red line
steamer Kroonland there yesterday.
II il probable that the representations
will be made to Great Britain just as
soon as the department obtains full
details Of the seizures.
The San Giovanni and the Regina
Italia sailed from New York. and were
on their way to Italian ports. AL.
though Great Britain has furnished NO
reason for the retention Of these ships,
Il 10 assumed at the state department
that she suspected that the copper.
after Il had reached Italian ports,
would be reconsigned to Germany and
Austria.
