When Smith Gets Him Job

The superintendent of railroad
running into Detroit saved an ex-con-
gict from the. river. Tuesday morning.
Whats the use" said the man, who
had recently finished a term in Mar
quette prison. He was standing in
the office of Chief Deputy Sheriff John
Smith, who was named as the con-
vict's best friend. when he was parol-
ed, after serving Is months. You
gave me the money for a weeks
board and room. | appreciate that.
But the landlady pried into my trunk,
and found some papers that showed
had been In prison. She threw me
out.
I've looked for work, and can't
find it--and don't want no more char
ity, that's all"
Then the ex-convict said goodbye,
thst he was on his way to the Detroit
river.
Smith remembered that he had done
a favor for the railroad superintend.
ent almost year ago. He called him
by telephone, told about his ex-convict
friend, and also about the landlady
who didn't believe In giving a man a
chance TO reform.
Send him down." said the railroad
man. 1--WE ought to be laying men of
right now, but guess Wen find room
for him all right"
The former prisoner at Marquette
forgot all about the river and ran out
Of the county building, headed for the
railroad yards.

ArbOr Congressman
RURAL CARRIERS LIKELY
TO KEEP THEIR JOBS
Postmasters' Salaries Will Not
Be Cut, According to Present
Indications

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.--It looks
as II Congressman Samuel w. Beakes
OF Ann Arbor, has the edge" on Post
master-General burleson, who treated
the progressive Michigan congress
man rather shabbily in the matter OF
patronage distribution. Mr.. Beakes,
who with Samuel w. Smith, OF Pom
tiac, Republican, is member OF the
committee on postotices and post
roads, opposed the postmaster-general
on his plan to cut the salaries of post
masters, which would have reduced
the salary OF the postmaster at Grand
Rapids from $4,000 TO $4,000, but
would not have affected the Detroit
office. He also opposed the plan to
replace the present salaried rural car
riers by contractors WHO would bid
for the jobs on competitive basis
and the plan for the abolition OF as
sistant postmasters.
Mr.. Beake's protest was overruled
by Burlesons friends on the commit
tee, but its recommendations were
coldly received in the house which
ruled them not germane. Although
these measures still linger in the text
of the appropriation bill, the probable
tiles are that the rural carriers and
assistant postmasters will retain their
obs. and that the postmasters salaries
will not be cut.
Ii is also highly unlikely that Post
master Nagel, OF Detroit, will receive
raise in salary from $4,000 to S.
000 according to Michigan members.

FRAME-UP,' SAYS
BENTLEY LAWYER
OUTLINING CASE
Action Against Highland Parker
Termed "Ext0rtion" i'm Ad-
dress to Jury
SAYS "IRATE" HUSBAND
MADE DEMAND FOR MONEY
Defendant Declares Only Inter-
est He Took in Woman Was
"Fatherly" One

Counsel for Frank Bentley, former
banker and postmaster of Bentley,
Mich, now wealthy real estate man
OF Highland Park, in an opening state
ment before Judge Hally, Tuesday
morning, declared TO the jury that IL
would be proven that the $4,000 suit
brought against Bentley by Mrs. Di-
ana Malotte, 81 years old, was a
scheme planned for the sole purpose
of extracting money from the defen-
>dant
I'VE viii show said Bentley's law,
yer, that an attorney called on
Bentley the very first morning after
he Is alleged TO have assaulted her,
demanding money, and threatening
him with public scandal and disgrace
10 his family If he did not pay.
I'VE will show that Bentley's only
interest In Mrs. Malotte was OF a
iatherly nature. He knew her when
she played the piano in theater he
owns in Highland Park He wanted
Sher to broaden out and become
music teacher She seemed grateful
for his interest, and encouraged him
to attempt to sell home in Detroit
to her parents in Bay City.
"Mr. Bentley found such a home
as he thought her family would like.
At her request, he showed her the
place He passed her home one
night, dropped in TO visit, and ii was
then that Mrs. Malotte told him she
would like TO have him inspect her
apartments. She led him into the
den. and told him TO sit down. He
had been sitting down only very
short time when her husband, Rich
ard Malotte. rushed into the room
with a revolver and said, Now | got
you. You're the man that's trying 10
break up my home After saying
these words, we will prove that the
husband demanded money"
Bentley maintains that he never
spoke an insulting word to the de-
fendan He says he called her by
her fir name often, because while
she worked at the theater, she let no
one know she was married
Mrs. Myrtle Currin, at whose home
the Malottes lived, testified at the
morning session, that there was much
laughter in the Malotte's rooms after
the episode which ended in Bentley
rushing hatless from their home, pur-
sued by Malotte.
II heard Mrs. Malotte say that she
had to laugh so hard when she saw
her husband point the gun at Bentley,
that she had to go into her room and
lie down." said Mrs. Currin.
Testimony was drawn from Mrs.
Malotte, Monday afternoon, that she
at one time fred shot INTO the bar

at Baltimore and Greenwoodaves.
why did you do it?" asked Bent
ley's lawyer.
Because" said Mrs. Malotte.
why because?'

position led me to think everything
wasn't right in there
Mrs. Malotte testified that an officer
questioned her about firing through
the door, and went away, after she
told him she shot, because"
