County Road Commissioner John
8. Hagserty. Thursday morning, de.
cided to use force to prevent the
Hannah Real Estate exchange from
building drainage ditch alons
Michigan-ave., vne mile north OF
Chauvin creek. After the real es-
tate company had obtained permis-
sion to build the ditch from County
Drain Commissioner James Grant,
and laborers had been put to work
on the Job. Haggerty hurriedly sum
moned Ii of his own men and sent
them out to throw back every bit
Of dirt which was dug up by the
workmen In the employ OF the real
estate firm.
Chief Deputy Sheriff John w.
Smith. fearing that the two gangs
would clash, sent two deputies to
preserve order.
The Hannah company wishes to
drain a subdivision II opened re-
Gently. II applied first to Haggerty.
who refused to give his consent, de.
claring the building OF the drainage
system would food the county road
and also few farms. The real
estate Arm then went TO Grant, who
gave a permit.
When Haggerty learned that the
work was to begin Thursday morn
ing. he appealed TO Assistant Prose.
cutor Paul W. VOORHEES,. Mr.. Voor-
heis said no arrests could be made.
because the matter was of a civil
nature. An Injunction was the only
remedy. he said.
Haggerty promptly called his men
together.
Part Of the ditch they want TO
build lies along public road" he
said. They can't dig up our road.
even IL we haven't time to get out
an Injunction. Throw back every
shovelful OF dirt they dig up on the
road"
At noon. no reports OF violence
had been received from the scent
OF the construction war.

CLUBHOUSE
FOR WOMEN
Refuses to Interfere
With FederatiOn's
Building Plans
CAN'T BE RULED
NUISANCE YET

The Detroit Federation OF Won.
ems clubs can proceed with its plans
for the erection Of a $4,000 sddi.
ton to its club house, at Hancock
and Second-aves. II. after the new
auditorium is built. the place be-
comes so popular that the chug of
motor cars ana the busy hum OF
lectures. business meetings and
other gatherings disturb the sleep
Of fiat jewellers In the neighborhood,
the club can be declared a nuis-
ance.
This was the substance of the de-
cision given, Thursday morning by
Judge Hosmer. when he dismissed
the bill OF complaint OF Mrs. Carrie
Davis. who sought to restrain the
club from building its addition on
the ground that II would depreciate
the value OF her apartment house,
the Sherbrooke. across from the
club rooms. Mrs. Davis contended
that she could not keep tenants II
the clubs activities caused so much
noise as to make sleep impossible.
Judge Hosmer treated the case
Of Mrs. Davis In much the same
manner as he did the proceedings
brought to prevent the city from
building It's garbage plant in St.
Chair Heights. There could be no
nuisance. he said. until the building
was completed and the meetings
were held.
Mrs. W. r. Alvord. president Of
the federation. was the last witness
called.
"Yes. we hope to have lectures
there" she testified. providing we
can get some very splendid speak
ers. Mr.. Bryan on peace? Oh. I
do not know " we will have Mr..
Bryan"
Mrs. Alvord outlined the plans for
the work Of the building in its pro-
posed addition. She said the meet.
ing OF the state federation with
about $50 delegates from other
cities would be held there. Asked
whether the meetings OF the The
alter and Fine Arts club would be
held In the federation's new audi
forum. she raised her eyebrows and
said: II hardly think so. I under.
stand they serve liquor. We would
not allow that"

No one would suspect mildman-
nered James Vernon, alderman from
the Second ward and father of the
ginger ale industry In Detroit, Of
being a crank, but he Is. Just start

Yes. Mr.. Vernon IL crank on

TO what lengths It has carried him
you'll agree that it's q pretty good
fault.
Ever since Mr.. Vernon started
making ginger ale years and years
ago, one OF his chief aims has been
10 secure 100 per cent purity Of
product. and the Detroit water sup
ply gave him q splendid opportunity
to ride his hobby.
When he began his experiments
on the river water he was in

his wife to make their future home is
just one more boost" for the Rich
land valley.
v just now Richland is enjoying a
spasmodic boom which it is hoped will
be permanent. The hotel life of any
town is sure index of its prosperity,
and when it is known that from Is to
35 guests sit down to dinner at the
Hotel Richland it is felt that there is
at least wave of prosperity here.
A great deal Of this is caused by the
influx of men who are to work on
the construction of the new ditch,
while considerable transient trade
is going and coming every day. In
another two months the strawberry
pickers will be here, and although
they usually do not have much money
with them, still they are bound to
leave some here, which all helps out
in the end.

of what cities will one day be In re-
generated age-the true type of civic
organization, having site Of rare beau

grand antique buildings" Geneva in
particular is 1.-The finest type of "a

Of old, men can live wholesome civic
life, not in huge, amorphous caravan
