IGNORE new OFFICIAL
IN APPROPRIATIONS

County commissioners failed TO ask
for an appropriation to cover the sal
airy Of the secretary of the board of
children's guardians. to which an ap-
pointment was made by Judge Bond
the first of April. Miss Nora Holt
house, formerly deputy recorder. was
appointed to the position and thus far
no provision for her salary and ex-
penses has been made.
1t was expected that the commits
sipners would ask for an appropria-
ton covering the new Office expense
at the meeting with the county coun-
Gle Saturday morning. However, this
was not done.
The matter has been brought up be-
fore the commissioners at previous
meetings but it is thought that the
Wayne county officials are opposed to
the creation Of this Office, and its at
tendant expenses.
County Auditor Brooks stated that
he was not sure that the state board
of accounts would allow the payment
of the salary of an Office created be
fore an appropriation was made. The
failure of the county council to ap
propriate. the funds for the payment
of the new assistant in the county
juvenile Office probably will mean
that action will be deferred until the
Sentember meeting of the council.

have seldom known him to claim any
large reward for his inestimable serv-

his sympatnies, while he would devote
weeks of most intense application to
the affairs of some humble client
whose case presented those strange
and dramatic qualities which appealed
to his Imagination and challenged his
ingenuity.
In this memorable year '95, curious
and incongruous succession of cases
had engaged his attention, ranging
from his famous investigation of the
sudden death of Cardinal Tosca-an
inquiry which was carried out by him
at the express desire of His Holiness
the Pope-down to his arrest of Will
son, the notorious canary-trainer,
which removed plague-spot from the
