Lawson Says Moore's
D. u. r. Scheme Is
Costly
FINANCING is
HARD QUESTION
City's Attorneys Had
Hard Struggle With
C0mpany's Lawyers

George william Moore's munich
pal ownership amendment contained
. clause In favor Of condemning the
ID. U. r. lines. and suppose that
that Is still his scheme for getting
possession Of them. said Customs
Collector Richard l. Lawson, Satur-
day.
Mr.. lawson, who with Alfred Luck.
Ing negotiated tho agreement with
the d. u. r. on the part Of the city.
then explained that the proposed
scheme would cost the city less than
condemnation.
III Mr.. Moore or anybody else pre-
fers condemnation to the scheme
outlined In the agreement, ne is op-
posed to municipal ownership" Mr..
Lawson declared. This plan is the
most favorable method of institut-
ing municipal ownership that has
ever been thought Of
Condemnation is not connsca-
t!on--it Is directly the opposite. Not
only must the city pay for the prop
erty, but II must also pay the costs
Of the case. no matter how long II
drags In the courts, and It must also
pay the damages that may accrue
to the company in addition to the
value Of the property. Every law
yer knows that X have property
which am unwilling to turn over
to the city. and the city Gusts me
from II. against my will. by con-
demnation, the city must recon.
pense me not only for the property
itself. but also for the disadvantage
to wtsch I am put In moving out.
Every incidental damage Is added
to the judgment. Before the city got
through paying such bill to the
d. u. R.. condemnation would be
very expensive.
Moreover. there could be no such
arrangement under condemnation as
that outlined In the agreement. The
city would have to pay for the lines
In cash. Under the agreement, tie
city bonds itself for perhaps S5oU.-
600. certainly not more than q mil
lion. in 1915, and that Is the extent
OF its liability until 1882. The rest
OF the payments come from the
earnings OF the lines.

Mr.. Castelli was a good-humored
and kindly man. For an instant a
smile played across his lips. but he
straightened his face into lines Of
gravity almost at once.
"Oh, yes. ! understand" he said.

went on These drawings you make

TEST RIGHT TO
PICKET UNDER
SHERMAN LAW

Members OF the Detroit local of

by the American Federation of La
Dor. have taken steps to make a first
test In Michigan of the Clayton
amendment to the Sherman anti
trust law, which upholds the right OF
labor unions to picket during
strikes.
The case In which the test Is to
be made Is that Of the Monarch Pat
tern works, against the local union
and its business agent. James A.
Spillane. The pattern makers OF the
Monarch factory went on strike. July
19. and the company obtained an In.

RING THIEF
Bad Man Caught, Low
ers Reunited BY Sad
Affair

II was very sad affair. that little
Irritation between Ethel Ryan, 21, of
No. SO Harrison-ave., and Henderson
Cox. %. of No. 64 Winder-st., that
ended when Henderson was bound
over to the recorders court by JUS
tice Stein Saturday on the charge
Of stealing Ethers diamond ring.
Ethel was standing at Twelfth and
Myrtle-sts.. watching a funeral go
by when Henderson, sympathetic
sort of chap. stepped up beside
her and remarked: Funerals are
great things nowadays, amt they?
They're handled so well, with the
autos and everything. that it makes
1t kind O. nice to die"
''It does." said Ethel. with deep
feeling. 1T seems as though 1t
must be kind o. comfortable. and all
that, to be corpse"
Whereupon, the Irritation was on
full blast, and then Henderson look
ed at Ethel's finger. and noticed the
diamond engagement ring that Jack
Schultz, who gets IS a day at the
Ford plant. had placel there when
he and Ethel got engaged"
1T doesn't mean much" Ethel
said. with sigh. as the funeral
wended his way past. We've had

And then Henderson asked her to
90 over to cafe and tell him all
about II, but she Indignantly refAsed.
Then Henderson looked at the
ring again. and said, Gee! There's
. big black spot on It! Wonder II IL
will rub OF, or II its In the stone"
And he pulled the ring right OF
Ethel's finger. but instead of polish
ing the diamond he raced down the
street.
And he landed right In the arms
Of Patrolman Cady. who heard Ethel
scream. and held Mr.. Cox a pris-
oner. -
Jack schultx was in court when
the case was tried.
Cox readily admitted that he in
tended to pawn the ring for about
&26. and send the ticket back to
Ethel. He had four pawn tickets
when he was arrested.
And az he was held for trial In
the higher court. Ethel glanced shy
ly ut Jack Schults, and he smiled.
and Justice Stein said: "Now. Ethel.
you keep that ring on your finger
until the day you die. Will your"
Ether said she would. and she and
Jack went away together.

A Toast.
Here is toast | want to drink to a
fellow I'll never know
To the fellow who's going to take my
place when it's time for me to 60.
I've wondered what kind of chap
he'll be and I've wished | could
take his hand,
Just to whisper, 81 wish you well, old
man." in a way that he'd under
stand.
I'd like to give him the cheerful word
that I've longed at times to hear;
I'd like to give him the warm hand
clasp when never friend seems
near
I've learned my knowledge by she r
hard work, and | wish | could
pass it on
place some day when | am gone
viii he see all the sad mistakes I've
lost?
Will he ever guess of the tears they
caused or the heartaches which
they cost?
Will he gaze through the failures and
fruitless toll to the underlying
plan.
And catch glimpse of the real in
tent and the heart of the val-
quished man?
| dare to hope he may pause some day
as he tolls as l have wrought,
And gain some strength for his weary
task from the battles which have
fought.
But I've only the task itself to leave
with the cares for him to face,
And never cheering word may speak
to the fellow who'll take my
place.
Then here's to your health, old chap;
| drink as a bridegroom to his
bride;
| leave an unfinished task for you, but
God knows how | tried
I've dreamed my dreams as all men
do, but never one came true,
And my prayer today is that all the
dreams may be realized by you.
And we'll meet some day in the great
unknown-out in the realms of
space;
You'll know my clasp as take your
hand and gaze in your tired face.
Then all your failures will be success
in the light of the new found
dawn
So I'm drinking your health, old chap,
who'll take my place when | am
gone.-AnOnymous.
