For What 1t Once
Opposed, He Says

Former Mayor William b Thomp-
son has sent the following letter to
the Detroit News in which he makes
a violent attack on the proposed
purchase of the ID. L. X. lines by the
city and accuses tho News OF gross
inconsistency in supporting the
Ilan:
About four years ago. it became
my duty as mayor OF Detroit, t.
negotiate and present to the public
of this city street railway settle
ment. The ordinance containing its
terms was the first piece of con
structive local legislation dealing
with the stree trailway issue along
the lines of popular demand that
had come out of 90 years OF bitter
ness and wrangling.
The ordinance was submitted to
the people and failed to receive
their approval as provided by law.
Among the influences which
must be credited with having affect
ed the public mind against that
plan were the arguments put up
against IL by the Detroit News.
To-day q neM form of settlement
is being presented to the people.
"As one who has had more than
his share of public honor from the
people OF Detroit, and who has no
other ambition than To spend the
rest of his days as a citizen devot
ing his energies to his own bust

County Auditors Bud
get Shows Increase
of $4,000

Although no open opposition has
developed against the plan OF the
Wayne circuit judges to have their
salary increased from $1,000 to SS,.
500 per year, ii became apparent
Monday morning, when the super
yisors began their annual meeting
that an obstacls might be thrown In
the way Of the proposed increase
Some supervisors ard other county
officials have raised the question of
whether the board has the authority
TO grant the increase. They are in
clined TO the belief that the judges.
inasmucfr they operate under u
local act, must look to the people
for an increase. Said one county
official:
IL don't see how the supervisors
can do anything but adopt resolu-
tion ordering that the matter of the
increase be submitted to the people
at the next election"
The resolution calling for the sal
ary boost was presented by Super
visor Vernon. II was referred to the
committee on ways and means.
The supervisors began their meet
ing az II O'Clock, and adjourned 20
minutes later, after hearing few
resolutions ard communications.
They will resume their labors at IL
o'clock, Tuesday morning.

This city for years had in its midst
a vice problem much more serious

told in the following letter to The

former newspaper man and now su-
perintendent of the Washington po-
lice force:
"The police department formerly
sanctioned several segregated sec

wide-open houses of prostitution. Al
the same time many OF the women
established themselves in apartment
houses and residential neighbor
hoods.
by act OF congress, the segregat
ell sections of Washington were
closed Feb. z, 1914. The closing uI
Of the segregated district In Wash

cutting down commercialized prosti
tuition, and at the present time there
are no wide-open bawdy houses and
fewer street-walkers than there
were during the time that the seq
regated district was permitted 10
exist.
at Is believed that there is today
less than 1s per cent of the amount
of commercialized prostitution that
existed before the closing OF the
segregated district.
"There has always been a certain
amount OF clandestine prostitution.

of the evil, It will always be neces-
sary for the police department Of a

and watchful.
