PROMINENT DETROITERS
IN CROSSE POINTE SUIT

A strange scene was enacted before
Judge Van Zile, in circuit court,
Thursday morning. when the case of
Mrs. H. d. Weir against the Union
Trust Co. and many prominent citi-
zens was opened.
The defendants include Waldo
Avery, Jere Hutchins, Fred M. Alger.
John Sweeney, Alfred Brush, the Coun.
try club, and the Village OF Crosse
Pointe Farms.
Mrs. Weir Is unable to speak above
faint whisper. Eight lawyers are
concerned In the case, and In order to
hear her testimony they were obliged
to draw their chairs within two feet
Of the witness and the court itself was
obliged to move close to the witness
chair.
The suit arose over the sale of lands
left to Mrs. Weir by relatives In trust
with the Union Trust Co. A portion
OF the land Is now part of the Coun-
try clubs golf links and other parts
are the property of the village of
Crosse Pointe Farms taken by It on
an alleged mortgage. The value of
the land is said to be close to $780,
900. Mrs. Weir claims that she was
not given her due In the sale OF the
lands, and Is suing to recover.

Detroiter prominent In the automobile

That's the per-horsepower tax ON
automobiles that aroused q storm OF
protest which only compares with the
howl which went up when national
tax on the automobile, either through
q gasoline tax or q per-horsepower tax
was proposed In Washington. The
Michigan tax was aimed at the user
of the automobile. and Gov. Ferris
signed It. II meant that Wayne coun-
ty. already saddled with more than
its share Of the state taxes, would be
mulcted for somewhere between ST..
600. 900 and $1.500,000 a year more In
state taxes. and the automobile users
would be the ones to pay 1t.
1T was only after bitter fight In
the supreme court that the outrageous
tax which the governor signed was
beaten.
Then Gov. Ferris, in the same care
free little way In which he laid all
blame for his extravaganza on the leg
islature, remarked that he didn't re-
member signing any such bill.
But thousands OF auto owners re
member 1t. and remembering. cannot

that the Wayne county bosses would

Very deftly Florence raised the lid
,1ust enough to peep out. The man
who had been talking was putting the
note in his hip pocket AS he turned
toward the chest he sat down on the
soapbox Immediately In front OF the
chest. An inspiration came to the
girl. an exceedingly daring one. She
took her liberty in her hands as she
executed the deed. But the dimness
of the cave aided her. When she
crouched down again the magic paper
was hers.
Il seemed hours to her before the
men left the cave. AS she heard the
hidden door Jar in closing she raised
the lid and stepped out, breathing
deeply. The paper she had purloined
was indeed blank. but Jones or Jim
would know what TO do with 1t. And
wouldn't tray be surprised when she
told them what she had accomplished
all alone? Her exultation was of
short duration. She heard the whine
of the door on It's hinges. The men
were returning. Why7
They were returning because they
had discovered a woman's shoeprint

BURNS DETECTIVES
FAIL TO PROVE CASE

Grace Connors. "a years old. was re
leased. Thursday morning. By Police
Justice Gainey. after Burns detectives
had vainly tried for more than q
month to prove that Miss Connors had
been guilty OF passing forged checks
In Detroit.
Miss Connors was first arrested for
not paying her bill at the Hotel Pont-
chartrain. She was paroled and re-
arrested when the Burns sleuths told
the Detroit police that they believed
the woman had passed worthless
checks, swindling banks of more than
$500.
The claims of the private sleuths
fell fat. Justice Carney again placed
the woman on probation.
