ACCUSED GIRL
TO STAND TRIAL
ON THEFT CHARGE

Belle Silyerstein, the pretty book.
keeper. who Is alleged to have
robbed her former employer. Benz.
Babcock, junk dealer, to buy fine
dresses and jewelry. must stand trial
In the recorders court. She was
bound over by Justice Gainey In
police court, Friday noon. after a
brief examination, and was given
until Saturday morning to renew the
bond OF $4,000 on which she has
been at liberty since her arrest.
She Is charged with the theft OF
$40. which represents grand lar.
ceny.
The prosecution Is based on a
check for SIG, drawn on the Peo-
pies State bank, which was paid
through the Gratiot-ave. branch OF
the German-American bank on Jan.
25. Babcock swears tina. he signed
a check for SIC on that day, which
Miss Silverstein made out to herself
for two weeks salary II was after
wards raised to sl16, but nothing In
the testimony. Friday, connected the
defendant directly with this opera
ton. The check itself Is missing,
and Babcock testified that the only
explanation Miss Siiverstein gave
was that the wind had blown II
away.
Charles II. Ayres. assistant cashier
OF the Peoples State bank, testified
that Miss Silyerstein had called for
Babcock's statement and cancelled
checks for the month Of January on
Feb. 1, and had signed for them.
The prosecution alleges that prac-
tically every pay check received by
Miss silverstein during the year she
was in Babcock's employ was raised
and these checks are al missing.
II is claimed that she got away with
s2.360 in this way. Babcock cannot
read and can only write his own
name Miss Silverstein made out
the checks and he signed them, he
said. He denied having played
poker with her In the ONCE.

Nine. Olga samaroff. who perhaps
is the favorlte woman player OF the
piano 10 visit Detroit, gave recital.
Friday morning. In the ballroom OF
the Hotel statler. as the first artist
In a group OF three to De heard In
morning concerts in this hotel
The gold and red chairs arranged
In semi-circle were almost all occu-
pied. Nine. Samaroff and her piano
were on slightly raised platform
screened In palms. The acoustics
Of the room for concert purposes
proved excellent, although the stage
for the artist could be higher to the
advantage OF the audience. Also, In
view OF the hard fact that all who
wish may not have front seat, IL
would add considerably TO the pleas
ure OF those sealed back OF the first
row or two. II hats were removed,
and at least glimpse given OF the
artist. Perhaps request on the pro-
gram leaflet for the next two con-
certs might have the desired effect
OF hats on"
Nine. Samaroff was In excellent
foim. and she gave a program admir-
ably suited TO the occasion Of n brief
morning musicale. The opening
numbers included Chopin group OF
four. of which. from an artistic and
critical standpoint. the largo and
finale Of the Sonata In b minor. and
the Etude In c minor were the most
satisfyingly played. The second group
offered Rachmaninoff's Prelude In @
minor: Grieg's Nocturno: Brahms
Cappriccio in b minor; Schubert's
Soirees de vienne; Lfsxt's Lebes-
traum; Tschaikowsky's Humoresque.
and the Hutchinson arrangement OF
the Ride OF the valkyries.
The gracious. limped quality OF
tone which Nine. Samaroff possesses.
no less than her wrist and arm mus
-eies Of steel and her digttai facility.
were shown TO excellent advantage
In all OF these numbers. She played
the Ride of the valkyries with mas
culine power and authority, and she
gave the Humoresque with such de-
lightful Interpretation and touch as
TO make II one of the gems Of the
recital. The RachmaninofY Prelude
was admirably played. and Schuberts
soirees de vienne perhaps has never
had on local concert stage SO
charming rendition.
Nine. samaroff was showered with
flowers.
The second recital Friday morn
ing, April 3. will be given by Maggie
Teyte. the grand opera prima donna,
and the third, Friday. May. II: by
Fritz Kreisler. the Austrian violinist.
The musicales are being given un-
der the direction OF Mrs. Joseph
Bernard scholtman and Mrs. Robert
Laughlln Messimer.

'AAid. Harry J. Dingeman. chairman

ested In liquor licenses.

daily the widows. relatives and
friends Of dead saioonkeepers plead
with the committee members 70 TO
new these licenses.
1T f. not an easy matter to meet
these people day after day." said
Chairman Dingeman. Naturally.
the committee members feel sorry
for them. Most OF the petitioners are
-.aually dependent upon the income
from saloon business for the sup.
port OF families. But the law Is plain.
II says that the death Of a license
holder shall constitute q voluntary
surrender The committee has de.
cided TO follow the law. so there Ia
absolutely nothing that we can do,
NO matter what our sympathies are.
Unfortunately. all such cases are re-
ferred TO me by the other members
Of the committee, and have, gone
over the same conversation at least q
thousand times and suppose win
double that record before May 1. Not
only do the widows Of the dead sa-
'oonkeepers insist on stating their In.
dIdduar cases. but their relatives and
friends also interest themselves with
the result that get about so OF 90
calls on every case.
= Fl have told these callers time and
again that there Is nothing the com
rnittee can do but follow the law.
Not satisfied with that explanation,
they 60 TO their aldermen and even
TO the mayor with their complaints.
I wish corld make II clear 20 all
persons interested In the saloon
btrsiness that where the holder OF
the license dies. the license dies
vf{h him and that In all there Is to
IT, No redress can be obtained from
the liquor committee"
