NEW WAGE SCALE FOR CARMEN

The arbitration board which has
been sitting in Jackson hearing testi-
mony of the carmen and the Michigan
Railway Co., has issued new wage
schedule for the men, granting them
considerable increase. Under this
schedule crews on city cars will draw
60 cents per hour for the first six
months, and 62 cents thereafter. On
interurban runs, they will draw 65
cents per hour for the first six months
and 70 cents thereafter. They will
also get 10 cents additional per hour
for overtime, which would include
every seventh day, which they are
supposed to have off duty.
The crews employed on the Owosso
and Corunna line, are classed as city
crews. The increase means nearly
$50 month more to them.

SCHOOL BOARD DEADLOCKEU
Site for New High School Changed
Probably No Building This Year

A long session of the school board
Monday failed to break deadlock on
a resolution calling for a special elec-
tion on June 9, for balloting on a pro-
posed bond issue of $35O,00O to defray
the cost of erecting new high school
building. The vote stood three to
three on the rate of interest to be
paid.
1t is announced by the board that it
has decided that the new high school
when built, will be erected in the En-
erson grove on East Oliver street, in
stead of on the site adjoining the ar
mory, which was purchased some time
ago for this purpose. The reason for
the change is that the architect has
informed the board members that the
Water street site is not large enough
for the building planned.
The board voted to increase the
amount of the annual tuition fee to
nonresident pupils, from $40 to $50.
This is because Of the increased cost
of operating the schools.

HOME BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE

The fine home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo
Mckenzie, 515 North Hickory street,
was virtually ruined by fire Tuesday
The flames were not discovered un-
til they had made great headway, and
when the fire department arrived, the
entire attic was a seething furnace,
and the fire had broken through the
roof and was shooting high in the air.
Two lines of chemical failed to
check the fire and the department was
compelled to throw water for nearly
half an hour. AS result, the entire
house was soaked and great deal of
damage done in this way.
Builders declare that to put it back
in the condition in which it was before
the fire will cost at least $4,000, and
probably nearer 5000 while the dam
age to the furniture will be consid-
erable.

Endorses Freight Rate In
crease.

Endorsement of an increase in
freight rates, sufficient to insure to
the railroads return of five and one
half per cent on the aggregate value
of railroad property in the country, as
provided for by the transportation
act which became effective on March
1, was given by the Chamber of Com
merce at meeting held at the city
hall Monday night. The motion auth
orizing the sending to the interstate
commerce commission of a telegram
endorsing the increase, was passed
unanimously after representatives of
the Ann Arbor, Michigan Central and
Grand Trunk railroads had presented
the railroads case.
H. N. Bradley, traffic manager of
the Ann Arbor railroad, and Presi-
dent Erb did most of the talking for
the railroads, although w. H. Spicer,
assistant general freight agent of the
Grand Trunk railroad, also spoke
briefly.
Referring to conditions in Owosso,
President Erb asserted that the Ann
Arbor road needed new and bigger
shops here far more than the people
wanted them. He declared that the
present shops have not the facilities
to do all of the companies repair work
or its new construction work, and said
that the company is now sending To-
comotives out of the state for repairs
because they can't be made here. More
sidetracks are badly needed here, he
said, but shortage of money makes it
impossible to contruct them, he as
serted.
Mr.. Spicer, representing the Grand
Trunk, put the whole situation in one
sentence. He said: "We must have
higher rates or we will be bankrupt"
DR.. A. M. Hume, chief surgeon of
the railroad, announced that Presi.
dent Erb has authorized him to make
public the fact that the road would
completely equip and furnish one OF
the two operating rooms in Memorial
hospital. c. P. Bentley, president of
the hospital board, thanked Mr.. Erb
and the railroad for the most generous
gift, and the assemblage greeted the
announcement of the gift with en-
thusiasm. In responding, Mr.. Erb de-
clared that the railroad was prompted
to make the gift by it's desire that it's
men employed here have the very best
care in case of an accident or sickness.
The Ann Arbor officials, in addition
to President Erb and Mr.. Bradley,
who attended the meeting were E. F.
Blomeyer, vice president and general
manager; osE. w. Wells, travelling
freight and passenger agent; v. Par
vim, superintendent, with headquar-
ters here; Joseph Goldbaum, comp
troller, and J. E. Osmer, superinten-
dent of motive power. w. H. Spicer,
assistant general freight agent of the
Grand Trunk, and F. R. Newman, as
sistant general freight agent of the
Michigan Central, were also present.

Big Capture Of Auto Thieves

ty, has again proved his high-clas.
ability as an officer of the law as vel
as adding reputation as a detectiv,
by the rounding up of the worst case
of auto thievery ever carried on il
the United States. Many SECOND
hand cars were offered for sale in this
county and the sheriff became suspi
cious and six weeks ago began an in
vestigation which last Friday result
ed in the recovery of al stolen auto.
and the arrest of Clarence and Aller
Somers of Kerby, Keo Isca of Detroit
an Italian, here, and of two other for,
eigners in Detroit. Deputy Sheriff
Louis Pardee ably assisted the sheriff
and Deputy Coe did good work in Sc.
curing positive evidence so that wher
the arrests were made the case against
the men was complete.
The cars were stolen by the gang
in Detroit, sold to the Somers broth
ers and by them to j. N. Thomas
west Owosso liveryman, Orbin Moore
and Peter Dellamater, jitney men OF
this city and others who re-sold to in,
dividuals. Five kinds of cars were
included in the lot, but they were
mostly Fords, and most of them were
nearly new.
The gang in Detroit took orders fo,
cars, sent out their thieves with in.
structions and paid $25 for a Forc
car and $50 for larger cars. Isca act.
ed as go-between for the Detroiters
and the Somers brothers in this coun.
ty.
The Somers brothers, aged Al and
18, sons of well known farmer, are
held in the county Jail and Isca fur.
nished bond for $4,000 and was re-.
leased and probably never will be seen
again in this state. The Somers
brothers confessed and told all thes
knew of the men and the methods.
Money belonging to Somers and
others has been attached and it n
hoped that innocent buyers will be
protected and their losses made as
small as possible.
With the members of the sheriff's
department and Detectives Navarro
and Foley, of the Detroit police de-
partment, still working on the recov-
cry of automobiles stolen in Detroit
by the ring of Italians, and sold by
Clarence and Allen Somers of Kerby,
the number of cars recovered by the
officers totals 40.
j. N. Thomas, who bought several
cars from Somers, has refunded to the
people whom he resold the cars, the
money they have paid him, while the
iHartshorn Auto Co., which also
bought and resold two, has replaced
them with new Sedans.
Leo Isca, the Detroit Italian arrest
ed with Clarence and Allen Somers
last week, in the big automobile theft
expose, furnished bail in the sum of
$4,000 Monday and was released from
the county Jail. Justice Hugh Nichols
fixed his bail at that figure when Isca
was arraigned on charge of defacing
a motor number to prevent identified,
ton.
