DIR. LODGE LIKELY
TO LOSE PLACE

DR.. Frank T. Lodge. inedico-legal
adviser or the city. Is under civil
service. according to an opinion
given by Corporation Counsel Dinge-
man to Moses Wartell. chairman OF
the council committee on claims and
accounts. who is after Lodges scalp.
The claim Is made that DIR. Lodge
Is not a resident OF Detroit, making
his home In Highland Park. II Is
one of the rules Of civil service that
a city employee must reside within
the corporate limits.
Under a resolution adopted by the
council In 1902, the committee on
claims and accounts Ia empowered
to hire the medicolegal adviser. DR..
Lodge has filled the position since
Feb. 4. 1908. succeeding William
Lane. Aid. wartells committee sub
mitted a report. last Tuesday, ap-
pointing DR.. p. G. Sanderson In DR..
Lodges place. The report was OBJ
jected TO and laid on the table.
There will likely be another fuss In
the council tonight when the mat
ter is again brought up. The posi-
ton pays 500 a month.

1t Wasn't So. That Story They
Started About Women Bathers
Being Barred From D.A.C.P Pool

Women's clubs would have dis
cussed il and denied II furiously.
II would have been telegraphed
all over the country, and In many
large cities. feature writer's would
have called up prominent society
women to ask them IL they thought
that the women OF their town would
act like that.
Why, a query on that story would
have brought orders from scores of
big metropolitan papers.
II would have made a sensation.
Well. II isn't so.
Like most of the pleasant things
OF life-Santa Claus. the rainbow's
end. the fountain OF youth, etc.--it
proved to be delusion.
The women's privileges haven't
been cut Off
Their mornings in the pool have
been reduced to two a week-that's
ALL
There was such big demand for
the pool on the part Of the men
who wanted their Saturday baths
that the Saturday morning time has
been taken away from the women
and assigned to the men. So there
goes that story.
Oh. is that so? Didn't we men
ton It?
We'll, you see that the rule is
that before you jump into the pool,
you're supposed to take a shower
bath II was rumored that the
women objected to the shower, and
that consequently the pool tasted
rancid to the gentlemen bathers on
certain afternoons.
Whoever started that story Is no
gentleman, that's certain.
We didn't believe 1t. Of course, but
we have to run down all these ru-
mors, you know.

United States Secret

ALSO DISCOVERED
Master Mind Thought
to Control Discover
ed Attempts

WASHINGTON. July 14.-Though
II is true that the United States Sc.
cret service suspects widespread
antiAllies terrorist plot in this coun-
try. 1t has not yet made sufficient
progress with its investigation to
have definite proof. II was learned
here Tuesday on good authority.
That this supposed conspiracy in
cluded an attempt to kill or kidnap
British Ambassador Spring-Rice on
his way by automobile from ]. p.
Morgan's home to Willard Straights
residence on Long Island. Monday
night, could not be verified.
There was also formal Official de-
nial that the ambassador was being
especially guarded. In fact, how
ever, 1t was known that both the Sc
cret service and the Washington po-
lice were keeping more than usually
alert watch on the embassy, though
1t was being done as transformations
ly As possible Even persons In close
touch with the police were not sure.
nevertheless. that this was because
of any actual attempt against the
ambassador, saying 1t might be sim
ply a general precaudon. accentuat-
ed because of~the threat to kill him
contained in the New Orleans
"Pearce" letter.
Concerning the secret service S
suspicious that an organized conspi-
racy exists to plant bombs on ships
leaving American ports under the AL
lies flags, there was less mystery.
More of these attempts-most OF
them frustrated-were said to have
occurred than has been made public.
Officials were understood TO hold the
opinion that while individual cranks
might have been considered respon-
sible II there had been only one or
two such cases. there had been so
many and OF so nearly the same
character as strongly to suggest a
single master mind behind all OF
them.
The theory that Frank Holt, j. =.
MorRan's assailant, was the tool OF
such a conspiracy, II was known. has
at least been taken into considera-
ton.
Reports that startling develop
ments and important arrests were
imminent could not be positively con-
Armed. but they were persistent, and
came from sources likely TO be in
possession OF inside information.
