CHAPTER XII.

The Fourth" the day We cele-
brate. fell upon Sunday,
Probably never before had a
ships deck undergone such changes.
A fiume made from sheet iron start
ed up in the skids. and dipping and
bending widened into a big basin
on the spar deck. grew narrow
again, extending out over the ships
side. II was lined with stones and
moss. and set about with countless
pots of Japanese ferns. flowers and
shrubs. When the pumps set TO
work hidden hose supplied the
water; 1t ran and jumped and
sparkled, overnowing the lake, on
which sailed a six-foot yatch. then,
trucking into feathery bamboo
forest that completely shut on the
ships rail, fell in graceful natural
waterfall into the bay.
Since 1875 IL has been customary
for all English men-of-war In for
eign ports to go out cruising on the
Fourth OF July. But on this occa-
sion they not only dressed their
ships In Americas honor. but the
crew OF II. NJ. s. Undaunted attend
ed our afternoon entertainment. As
they came aboard they were each
presented with one OF the printed
programs. And CALAMITY they pinned
TO their neckerchiefs the little silk
flag that lay between It's leaves.
The program went on without a
hitch, but ! am fain to write it
that the number not down was the
one TO win the laurels.
The fencing contest between Jap
anese sword masters was over, and
the victor was making his salaums
to the audience, when one OF our
bluejackets stepped out and by ges-
ture challenged him aga.n to COM
bat. The vanquished, realizing the
purport of his maneuvers, unbuckled
his armor and offered II TO the sea
man. who declined all save the bel
met and sword. This he welded
like ball bat, and I'm Q much short
or time than he had taken to win
his laurcls the victor was VEN
quished: and only for the interior

Ruling Barring Public
Funds Not Sound,
Says Carpenter
MOTION WILL
BE FILED OCT. /
City Agrees to Provide
Money for Tempo
rary Maintenance

Former Justice William l.. Car
penter, who believes that the ma
jority decision of the supreme court
judges, holding that the city has no
legal right to pay for the mainte-
nance of the Detroit Art Museum,
the board of trustees being only a
semi-public body, Is erroneous, will
Ale a motion for new trial, Oct. /.
Dexter NJ. Ferry. president OF the
board OF trustees. appeared before
the council committee on ways and
means. Tuesday morning, and read
Judge Carpenters letter attacking
the supreme court decision and ad-
vising a motion for a new trial.
"rhe members OF the board take
Judge Carpenters view said Mr..
Ferry. I'VE feel that the art mu-
scum Is public institution OF an
educational character. The fact that
many works of art and other valua-
bles have been turned over to the
beard OF trustees by private citizens,
raises serious question In my mind
II the city has any right TO take
over the institution.
New York and Chicago are now
operating their art museums just as
We have been. Last year $4,000
visitors were given free admittance
to our art museum"
President Ferry asked that the
council continue TO give temporary
support to the art museum until such
TIME as the case Is definitely decid-
ed. Corporation Counsel Dingeman
said that the giving of temporary re-
lief was entirely up TO the commit
tee as a matter OF policy. The COM
mlttee readily agreed to help out.
This will mean an expense OF about
$4,000 month for at least three
months. The money will continue
TO come out OF the amount appropri.
ated for the support OF the art mu-
scum before the supreme court de-
cision was handed down.

Shows No Intent

DINGEMAN TIRES
OF STATE DELAY

Detroit will refuse to consult fur.
ther with the state railroad COM
mission over the hiring OF an aud
itor and an expert appraiser to 80
over the appraisal fgures submitted
by the telephone company, unless
the commission Is willing to "come
through and pay for the hire Of
the experts. Corporation Counsel
Dingeman has patiently waited for
the commission to signify a willing.
ness to pay the costs. but the com.
mission has remained mum.
When the commissions repre-
sentative, c. B. Hall. conferred with
Controller Engel and myself he
agreed that the commission ought
TO pay for the hire of the experts
and charge 1t up against the tele-
phone company. the petitioner"
said the corporation counsel. "If
the railroad commission does not In
tend to pay the costs OF proving up
the company's figures. then why
should we submit our selection OF
auditor and expert to the commits
sion? I have written letter to-
day. informing the commission that
the city is prepared to select it's
own experts and pay the costs. The
railroad commissioners we're very
anxious that the city go over the
appraisal as quickly as possible so
that the telephone company could
benefit soon from any concessions
they might be granted. but the COM
mission Is not in any apparent
hurry to help US get under way"
The Detroit Trust Co. has been
tentatively selected as auditor and
Prof. Burch as appraiser. and II is
likely that they will be instructed
10 go ahead with the work az soon
as the corporation counsel receives
reply to his latest letter to the
commission. The cost OF hiring an
auditor and expert appraiser will be
about $4,000.
In connection with the telephone
investigation. Controller Engel for.
warded a communication to the
council committee on ways and
means that may give the inquiry a
new twist Recently the controller
wrote to 10 different cities. Milwau-
kee included. requesting schedules
OF telephone rates for the purpose
OF comparison. He received an an.
swer from Milwaukee 10 the effect
that the city attorney. there was
preparing brief covering tele-
phone hearing for presentation TO
the Wisconsin commission. and was
also planning 10 file complaint
with the Interstate commerce COM
mission in Washington for the pur.
pose OF having an investigation
made of the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. and OF the Western
Electric Co. which companies an.
nually exact great sum OF money
from the Milwaukee company, It's
claimed. This sum, The Milwaukee
attorney believes, Is unreasonable
and unwarranted.
He suggests plan whereby De.
troit. Chicago. Cleveland and Mime
apolis cooperate with Milwaukee In
conducting the investigation. the re-
suits OF which will be OF benefit to
all. The aldermen will take the
matter up with the corporation
