It clear that the state law pre-
venting change in an elected Of

office, does not apply in such q
case.
Harper's duties, as director Of
the Lakeshore Interceptor dis

mers said, are mot incident" to
his duties as elected drain COM
missioner. If compensation was
awarded him by the South Ma

said, such an act would not be
any change in his salary as
drain commissioner.
UP TO VILLAGES
Harper told the supervisors,
who received his news without
comment, that the drainage dis
trict and not the county would
be asked to compensate him for
his additional work. He said he
planned to approach officials OF
Warren Township, East Detroit,
Warren, Van Dyke and Center

Harper brought the matter up

comprehensive survey of the

Flood


take over jurisdiction of rivers
and streams for flood control
purposes.
Supervisors voted unanimous
ly to send q resolution to Sena-
tors Arthur Vandenberg and
Homer Ferguson, and Congress
man Jesse p. Wolcott urgently
asking attention to the rivers
flood problem.
SHARP EXCHANGE
The debate between Weston
dorf and Harper ensued when
Harper commented that Mount
Clemens has been sitting on the
banks of the river for so years
and doing nothing about il
(flood control)."
Westendorf entered the verbal
fray by claiming that the drain
commission had at least moral
(if not a legaD responsibility
for floods, because numerous
drains emptying flood water into
the river fill it faster than natur-
al ground seepage would. Yves
tendorf implied the flood prob
lem involved a state responsible
ity.
Harper contended that proof
of the states lack of connection
with river flood problems Is
clear in the April election pro-
posal.
Supervisor Floyd w. Rosso
chairman of the board, who has
been heading the flood control
appeal so far to Washington
ut h o r i ties, recommended to
supervisors that action by reso-
luton on this subject should be
taken, as more effective than
individual appeals.

Labor relations matters in

Theatre Manager
Court Re-Awaken
Faith in Mankind

When 19-year old Daniel De
Long, a discharged soldier, ere
ated a disturbance in the Ma
comb theatre on Sunday, and
then broke window as be was
being escorted TO the door, the
management quite naturally
filed charges against him for dis
orderly conduct.
And, when Daniel appeared
before Justice of the Peace
Frank E. jeanette Monday after
noon he exhibited decidedly
truculent attitude. So much so,
in fact, that the court devoted
a full hour or more of its time
attempting TO unearth the source
of the youths quite apparent
"peeve" toward the world IN
general.
When it was all over Daniel
found:
1.-The charges against him
were dropped.
2,-He had SIS bill in his
pocket, a gift from the theatre
manager.
3,-His chances of joining the
merchant Marine were enhanced.
4,-The court dismissed even
court costs against him.
She had learned, again,
how to smile.
The reason for the change Of
pace:
l,-Daniel, had no home.
2,-He is an orphan.
She had been discharged
from the army after six months
service because he didn't know
how to read or write.
4,-His burning ambition is to
Join the Maritime Service.
She seems-really-to be
a pretty nice kid.
AS result of his experience
unique in the history of the city's
justice courts - Daniel has
date with the Merchant Marine
on Thursday. He has applied for
duty afloat and has decided that
there are some pretty fine folks
in the world-after all.

bedroom in the Coppens home

ing the gun - hanging over the
edge of the bed.
THREE GIRLS I6
Van Fleteren said, too, that he
h already questioned Mrs.
Coppens, a l5-year-old boy who
was present when the shooting
took place, and three 16-year-old
girls who were living at Mrs.
Coppens' residence, 22435 Har-
per avenue. He said that one OF
he girls, who had been missing
for three days from her Detroit
home, was at the Coppens house
without the knowledge of her
parents. One of the 16-year-olds
is employed as a waitress and
the third is a relative of Mrs.
Coppens.
The prosecutor pointed out
that Police Chief Champine has
already identified the .32 CAL
ibre revolver with which the
Pruitt boy was slain as the prop
erty of John Mirth. proprietor of
the burglarized night club.
DECISION WITHHELD
Van Fleteren said that while
all testimony to date indicates
that the 17-year-old boy acct
dentally shot himself w h ii e

panions he will not consider the

BRINGS WHISKEY
Van Fleteren said that Pruitt,
after reputedly being broke"
when he first appeared at the
party, left the premises briefly
and then returned with the whis-
key. cigarets, gun and coins. He
said that while testimony so far
indicates that the youngsters,
ranging in age from IS to 81,
had consumed quantities of beer
prior to Fruits temperance it
was probable that no whiskey
had been available until that
time. The prosecutor, the cor
oner and the police were in
agreement that several of the
children had apparently been in
various stages of intoxication
throughout the evening but, like
wise, expressed the belief that
the dead youth had been respon-
sible for his own death.
