allowed to go ahead and complete

Soon after that Hollands was dia
missed as an inspector by the

that he was incompetent and Insub

declared, consisted of his refusal
lo pass violation* of the building

A* the city haa grown in popula

DERBY, Kng.. Jan 31. —A poi«on
plot against Premier David Uoyd-
Ceorge and Arthur Henderson, raem
ber of the empire's war council, was
revealed today in the arraignment
at Guildhall of three women and one
ruiin charged with ’’consplracv to
kill."
Crown Prosecutor A. H. Donkin,
who appeared against the quartet,
declared that the plot ha I been
hutching bet ween l*ec 26 and Jan.

relent ious scruple v" again* t war.
The three women are supposed to
be suffragettes.
DublieaUon of the charges against
th« four persons arrested caused a
tig sensation, coupled with general
Indignation that Kugland's "man of
the hour" should have been the ob
ject of such a plot The fact that
th* chief in.-pe< tor of Scotland Yard
:he ’ ! have assumed personal
chaige of the ca.se was regarded as
evidence of the gravity with which
it was regarded
Altho e\|*tenre of the plot was
uncovered Saturday, no tniormation
concerning It became known to the
public until th* nrresta hsd been
made
After formal e\tdence of the plot
had been outlined by the crown
prosecutor, the four prisoners were
remanded until Saturday.
In presenting their names to the
court the crown prosecutor gave the
names of the women as "Wheel

The only evidence which the
crown gave against the defendants
was formal statement of the
charges on which they had been
taken Into custody. It Is und r
stood that the crown has 30 wit

Wayne, richest county of Michi

today exactly $40,942. and the board
of county auditors, caretaker* ol
Wayne's finances, are in the position
of wanting a loan but wishing in ap

Complications arising from the et
fort of the county supervisors to
overthrow the equalization made by
the sttde board of tax commission

of the county is SIOO,OOO t n r month,
