Mayor Breltmeyer ha* received a communication from a number of en gineers, representing the various en gineers' association!:, commending him on his stand In favor of placing elevator Inspection under the boiler inspectors department, reducing the annual li cense fee of the engineers to 60 cents by meuns of the added revenue thus diverted to the boiler inspector, and fighting against the Miller bill to im pose a state license on engineers ' The committee consists of William Wilkins, Ray C. Silver. John P. Gard ner, Alex Werner, Humphrey Sauve and C. A. Ellis. They state that the license law now before the legislature would mean a tax upon the engineers of Detroit of from $6,000 to SIO,OOO per year. Every city In the state can. under present laws, put in operation a municipal license for engineers, and the Detroit engineers feel that an add ed state license would mean the taking of so much money away from this city for the benefit of the remainder of the state without giving any benefit In return.

JUDGE CONNOLLY REFUSES TO REDUCE ADAMS’ BAIL Prosecutor Said He Had Definite Knowledge That Man Intended Fleeing to Europe. Judge Connolly refused, Saturday morning, to reduce the bail of John A. Adams, alias Dr. Anton Welchera, a waiting trial on :« < barge of -lecelv Ing Rosa Rents, from $3,000 to $2,000. anil Adams, In consequence. is still h guest of Sheriff Gaston. He Hays now I that he will make an effort to >-ecure ball, hut his time Is short us his ■ trial Is scheduled foi next week it* Judge Connolly’s court. The motion for the reduction of Ad ams' bail wah made by Attorney ! Frank F. Bumps and was vigorously 'opposed by Prosecrlor Van Zlle, at whose request Judge Connolly recent ly boosted the bail from $2,000 to s3.* 000. The court requited tbe prosecu tor to give his reasons for asking tho increase and opposing the reduction. ! ”1 asked for It. your honor, because I hfard from two different parties that this man, Adams, was preparing to •Jump his ball and go to Europe,’ said the prosecutor, confirming a story pre viously published. | "Do you know If those parties had I any actual knowledge that those were I his plans?” asked Judge Connolly. "They told me they had it from Ad janis himself,” replied the prosecutor I Without going into detail*. Prosecu tor Van Zlle cited \dams’ conduct In fixing up witnesses to testify falsely in his behalf as a further lustlfb-atlon for the Increased bail bond and point ed out that the Jury In the first trial had stood 11 to 1 for conviction. Judge Connolly held that the rea sons were sufficient. Attorney Bumps took exception to the court's ruling and appeared to be considerably put out over the decision. “It’s a plot to keep nie from getting l ray witnesses together,” hotly declar jed Adams when he learned that nis at jtorney’s efforts had failed. From Call Boy To Star— Rise of Vaughan Glaser 4 « It is Interesting to trace back the career of people theatrically prom iuent ami ascertain Just how the actor, or actress, happened to take to the stage. Vaughan Giaser, jf the Glaßer htock company, now playing in the Lyceum theater, nicely illustrates how ills natural aptitude for the mimic world was demonstrated by what teemed an immaterial incident. Mr. Glaser was born In Cleveland. His mother was celebrated throughout the middle west as a singer of rare ability. The family moved to Atlanta, where young Glaser soli! papers and acquired, even as a youth, a deep iu tight into human nature. It was while in the south that people began to take notice that lie had a remarkable soprano video and he was urged to go to New York and plan for a career as o singer. He went and. after some disappointments, obtained employ ment in a music publishing house. The house published the scores for the Metropolitan Opera House com pany and young Glaser was allowed to sell the librettos. Vicissitudes led him to take em ployment in the Lyceum theater as call boy. It was there that the imma terial incident happened that drove him to the stage as a permanent fix ture. He was given a part in the three-act comedy, ‘‘Our Flat.” He was to nieve the furniture about. He had cne line, "Where does this go, sir?' A new’ zenith loomed nbove him. He was actually to speak before an audi ence He nursed the line, coddled it. I ractieed it in his ball bedroom early and late. He it with all tho modulations its meager possibilities allowed. Asa result, when he spoke the five words at .ehearsal. the stage director brusquely said: “That boy can’t talk naturally. Cut the line out.” So from a speaking part he evolved to a humbler plane—a moving part. The disappointment was a cruel one, as hp was young. But It filled him with the one, persistent resolve, h* would yet have a speaking part and a major portion of the spot light. Asa vindication from the director's criticism he shortly obtained a chance to prove his real worth vlth the Kel sey-Shannon Stock company in the Lyceum, and from then on his course was easy sailing. His first important, role was In E. H. Sothorn s revival of ’i»rd Chumly.’’ Then he became leading man for Mrs. Patrick Camp bell, and later was leading man for Mrs. Fiske. After the last engagement he set about securing a company of his own. Five years ago. he permanently en tered the stock field, and has ever fine** headed his own playrs. VETERAN COP TO RETIRE.

Working for the mayor’s Commit tee of f»0 has been largely a matter of honor since that body reached the dig nity of having salaried employes. Ln ! til the supreme court decides as to the | legality of the council’s appropriation !of $5,000 for committee expenses In Investigating the street railway ques tion. there will be nothing but honor for the employes, either. All bills for salaries and expenses are being held up. and one of the desk drawers in the mayor’s office is choked with these bills. Included in this lot are the SSO per week salary vouchers for Secretary Renaud. those for his stenographer and for the engineers as well as for all supplies used. While no tabulation of these bills has been made, the appearance of the accumulated vouchers would indicate that the $5,000 is pretty well spent al ready. There will he a big pay day in the controller’s office if the supreme court decides that the appropriation Is legal. All these bills have to be passed upon by the council before the con troller can draw his warrants for their payment. DAVID E. THOMAS DEAD. President of National Casualty Cos. Passes Away In Florida.
