ROWING BANDS OF BOYS
GIVE BUSINESSMAN
THE WORKS

Herbert Collins, proprietor OF
an East Detroit drug store, who
yesterday cited widespread van
dalism upon the part of pre-
Halloween celebrants, today had
reason to be really burned up.
In fact the awning of his
Nine Mile road store was con-
sumed by flames last night and
police are inclined to suspect
that boys who had learned of
his complaints set the blaze
which destroyed the $40 SUM-
shade.
In any. event Police Chief Ly-
man Eckhardt said this morn
ing that Collins has offered a
$50 reward for arrest and prose-
cution of the persons respon-
sible and that police are making
every effort to track down the
offenders.
Collins said yesterday that
bands of boys, rowing the streets
in uncontrolled Halloween ex-
uberance. had so far caused APP
proximately $4,000 damage in
the community.

Income ak

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1917
The Senate Finance commit
tee voted today to forgive all
federal income taxes during war
years on the service pay of en-
listed personnel in the armed
forces.
Veterans below the grade of
commissioned officers won't
even have to file returns on
their service income if Congress
finally approves the provision.
The committee, driving to
complete a $4,780, 100000 tax
cutting bill before nightfall,
voted two other benefits for vet
Grams and a like number for
corporations.
The other provisions affect
ing veterans were:
l. Officers would be granted
an additional three-year extern
sion of the time in which they
could pay the tax on their serv-
ice pay.
2. Men who entered the serv-
ice before the pay-as-you-go tax
law went into effect would be
granted q similar three-year ex-
tension for payment of their tax
liability on earned income.

Re-Questioned
Thompson Coss
Still UnsoIved

PONTIAC, Mich, Oct. l9 -
(P) Police today resumed
questioning of Louis v. Thomp-
son, Detroit auto dealer. and his
secretary, Mrs. Helen Budnik,
in another effort to uncover a
vital clue in the Staying of his
wife, Mrs. Lydia Thompson Of
Detroit.
Sheriff Edward K. Thomas of
Oakland county, in announcing
the newest development, said,
I'VE just want to 60 over their
entire stories once more to see
if we can't get a definite lead.
They've both been most coopera-
tive and seem to be doing all
possible to help us solve this
case"
Thomas said that the husband
had not undergone any extern
sive questioning since Tuesday.
He said Prosecutor Donald Nog-
gle would aid in the interviews
today.
FILL IN GAP
Thomas said authorities had
accounted for all but two hours
of Mrs. Thompson's movements
of last Thursday, the day she
was slain.
He reported these hours COW
cred the period from 7 p. m. to
8 p. m, the latter being set by
autopsy reports as the approx
mate time of her death.
Thomas disclosed that two De-
troit witnesses, who had been
sought for questioning, had been
apprehended and released today
after being interviewed at the
sheriff's office.
He declined to state whether
any additional witnesses were
being sought.
II can't say anything about
the two men we had in last night,
for it would tip our hand on
other angles we are investiga-
ting" he said.
MAY SEEK RELEASE
Meanwhile, at Detroit. Hugh
G.. Allerton. counsel for Thomp-
sons business firm, said he
probably" would apply for
circuit court order for Thomp-
sons release if Thompson is not
released by tomorrow.
Il have talked to him a num-
Der of times and am convinced
of his complete innocense."
Allerton declared, adding. He
has done everything possible to
aid this investigation. We don't
want to interfere with the probe,
but think we will have to 20
to Pontiac and ask for the court
order if the release is not forth
coming by tomorrow"

U.s.. Official
Fired On by
Rebel Forces
Coroeos Scene
OF Heovy Gunfire,
Reports Indieots

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 Up
- A United States Embassy Of
ficer at Caracas was fired on last
night in the course Of spread
ing revolution in Venezuela.
The incident involving the
Embassy official was disclosed
by the State Department today
in making public dispatches
from Ambassador Frank p. Cor
rigan on the revolt.
The upheaval, according to
these official reports, began 1t
4 p. m. yesterday at San Car
los barracks near Caracas and
by 8 p. m. last night the rebels
had control Of the Presidents
residence at Miraflores and the
nearby military academy.
CITE ATTACK
The State Department said
that an American officer Of the
Embassy was on his way from
the Embassy to the cable office
when he was fired upon near
the Plaza Bolivar.
He was forced to turn back
and that resulted in the delay in
Corrigan's dispatches to Wash
ington.
There was no authoritative
word on the issues involved.
Venezuelan sources here spec
ulated that lower rank army Of
ficers perhaps were displeased
with the two presidential cam6i-
dates for the presidency and
may have revolted to take over
the government.
ARMY CLIQUE
They said the fact that Al
fonso Biaggiani, q civilian, has
been nominated for the presi-
dency may have had something
to do with the army's desire 10
revolt. This Is the first time In
Venezuelan constitutional his
tory that q civilian has received
the nomination.
The Venezuelan Congress n
scheduled to meet on April 10
to set the date for the pred-
Dental elections.

Liehiine--plan
Costs $4,000
Utility Firm to
Defroy Expenses

With work on the installa-
ton of the new, modern light
ing system for Mount Clemens
expected to begin as soon as
materials become available, the
Detroit Edison company, which
will bear the entire cost Of the
project, revealed today that the
expense Of the project will top
$4,000.
The plan, as proposed by
George w. Hargreaves, district
manager of the Detroit Edison
company, was approved several
weeks ago by the Mount Glenn
ems city commission.
Hargreaves pointed out that
the cost for the project would
be split evenly between the new
type ornamental lights, which
will be installed in the business
areas, and the modern type
overhead lights for the residen-
tial areas.
The Detroit Edison company
will be in charge of the entire
program consisting of laying ca
bles, trimming trees, installing
the fixtures and taking out the
old ones.
Hargreaves stated that al
though the main part Of the pro-
gram would not begin for sew
eral months the Detroit Edison
company has enough equipment
on hand to satisfy immediate
demands.
He said that should any per-
son or persons feel that their
present lighting is inadequate,
the Detroit Edison company
would be only too willing TO
install the new lamps immedi-
ately.
Under the proposal. Mount
Clemens will get 81 per cent
more light with only slight
increase in its electric bill.

Housing Units
New Haven Firm
Reveals Expansion

NEW HAVEN - Following
closely on a recent announce
ment OF greatly expanded post
war production, the New Haven
Foundry this week announced
purchase of land adjoining the
factory for the establishment Of
a workers housing project, as
soon as building restrictions per-
NIT and materials are available.
Low-cost modern housing, in
conformity with the New Haven
building ordinances, will be
erected, according to factory
personnel manager, I. L. Cooper,
who made the announcement in
behalf of Sumner D. Lamkins,
president.
The factory has acquired a
five-acre site southeast of the
plant, now occupied by trailers
of the Federal Public Housing
Authority. Efforts will be made
to acquire the trailers them
selves, but this will not interfere
with the planned construction of
regular dwellings.
Cooper said that in view of
the foundry's plans for doubling
its payroll, good housing for
workers Is mandatory in the
company's future plans. He said
that housing conditions in New
Haven, as in most Michigan cit
les, were vastly inadequate to
meet demands.
In addition to the five-acre
site, Cooper said other parcels
of land are being sought for
housing facilities. Detailed ar.
rangements have not yet been
worked out as to ownership,
rental or sale of workers homes,
he said.
