der charges in connection with the
killing of Peeler Clayton. began be-
fore Justice of the Peace Nj. Nj.
Johnson here this morning.
NJ. A. Hudler, mechanic. was
the first witness. He declared he
was present at the rlace Clayton was
killed and said he was standing near
Ku Klux Klan hall when shots were
fired and that he went there solely
out of curiosity.
Il heard that the lights would be
turned on at the hall that night and

said.
Hudler said he met four men
there whom he recognized as Police
Detective f. L. Young, Patrolman
j. l.. Mcneil. Federal Prohibition

CAR LINES and.
CITY SIGN PEACE.
PACT, DETROIT.
(By The Associated Press)


DETROIT, Mich, Jan. Ga
treaty of peace between the city
of Detroit and the Detroit United
Railway, agreed to recently by pleni-
potentiaries Of each, shortly will
give Detroit the distinction Of hav-
my the most extensive municipality
owned street car system in the
world.
Under the treaty signing Of
which marks the end of 20 year
war, the city proposer TO take over
soon the entire holdings Of the com
pany on a rental basis. At some
time during 1922 the electors of the
city will be called upon at special
election to vote on question 6f
purchase of the property by the
city. As the people here have ap-
proved every municipal street rail
way project advanced in recent years
city officials expect the municipal
lty will have the entire street car
field here to itself before the be-
ginning Of 1928.
When the city assumes control
its municipal street railway system
will consist cf 476 miles Of track
age putting it far ahead Of San
Francisco, its nearest rival in mu-
nicipal street railway operation. The
West City's municipal system has
but so miles Of track.
Settlement Of the street car con.
troversy, the overshadowing elemen;
In every municipal election here
within the last two decades. came
suddenly. the Detroit United Railway
agreeing to the rental proposition
and proposed purchase after it was
faced with eviction from two Of the
more important lines in the city.
After years of litigation, some
Of which found its way to the United
States Supreme Court with result
ant victories for the city, the mu-
nicipality was authorized by the vot-
ers at a recent election to order the
OF the Woodward avenue and Fort
street lines upon which franchises
had expired This step followed re-
fusal of the company to sell the lines
10 the city at price the latter was
willing to pay. The company was
going ahead with plans to tear az
IFS tracks on these lines when an
agreement was reached whereby city
and Detroit United Railway cars
might use jointly certain pieces Of
tracks owned by one or the ether.
The rental agreement and purchase
plan was made a part of this pact.
Since the agreement was signed
Detroiters have been afforded the un
usual sight Of cooperation between
the two rival street railway compan
les. Municipal ears are running over
Detroit United Railway tracks, while
Detroit United cars ere being operat-
ed over parts of the municipal lin
cs.
Detroit's municipal lines came In

approved a plan Of Mayor James
Couzens for construction of 100
miles of track. Work on the new

QUESTION No. a.
Why Two Bond issues7

Why are both issues submitted at
the same time, and why is the coun-
tv-at-large 10 issue 100000 when
you cannot issue that amount at this
time?
Botl issues are submitted at once
because il is the intention Of the
court TO put the largest part Of the
burden possible on the county at
large ard shield the district as much
as possible, but in my opinion the
full 100000 district bonds will
have TO be spent.
BY voting the larger issue we can
take advantage Of the 1922 valua-
tons, and perhaps also we can use
present sinking funds and retire
some Of the 1919 bonds and war
rants. all Of which will increase our
bond-issuing capacity without the
necessity of new election.

Rabbi Wise said he witnessed the
revival of the passion Play" after it's

THE Passion Play was first pre-
sented by the people of that little
German village in 1623-almost three
centuries ago he said. AT that time
he Jews of Europe were being wide
ly prosecuted. They We're pariahs-

The play reflects the antpathy for
the Jew that was so fragrant at that
time, and | hold that it's performance

race and only fans the flames OF
