As the people here have approved every municipal street rallway g ot ad vanced in recent years, city officials @xpect the municlpality will have the entire strect car fleld to itself before | the heglinning of 1 When the city assumes control its munielpal street rallway system will consist of 476 miles of track put ting it far ahead of San | fta nearest rival in municipal str rallway operation. The west coast city's municipal system has but 60 miles of track. Settlement of the street car con- troversy, the overshadowing element in every municipal election There within the last two decades, came suddenly, the Detroit United agreeing to the rental proposition gnd propos- ed purchase after it was faced with eviction from two of the more im-| portant lines In the city. After years of litigation, which found its way to the United Btates supreme court with resultant victories for the city, the municipality was authorized by the voters at a re- cent election to order the Detroit United Railway from parts of the ‘Woodward avenue and Fort street lines upon which franchises had ex- pired. This step followed refusal of the company to sell the lines to the eity at a price the latter was willing to pay. The company was going ahead with plans to tear up its tracks on these lines when an agreement was reached whereby city and Detroit United Railway cars might use joint- ly certain pieces of tracks owned by one or the other. The rental agree- ment 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 companies. Municipal cars are running over De- troit United Railway tracks, while Detroit United cars are being operat- ed over parts of the municipal lines. Detroit’s municipal lines came into being in 1920, proved a plan of Mayor James Cou- zens for construction of 100 miles of track. Work on the new line was started as soon as possible. Torty- five miles of the municipal system orfginally authorized now is under operation and many other miles of track is in process of building. some of 2 b best butter, $1. Russell Bros. —advt.

Police and government se- cret agents have gone into every city, | town, vilage and virtually every farm house in a search for evidence against usurers. Stringent measures have bheen adopted against a continuance of plun- dering and rioting, which, it has been scertained, was instigated in some! cases by “red” agitators for political purposes. Numerous arrests have been made, both of profiteers and looters. An effort to induce workmen to strike and join in a crusade against “capitalism’” promptly failed, even radical newspapers and labor leaders taking the position that ‘“Germany would not tolerate introduction of Bolshevist methods at this time.” Recent investigations have disclosed that the boosting of prices and the great “selling out” campalgn which came on the heels of the depreciation of the mark early in the winter was not entirely due to the hordes of for- eigners who invaded the country to make extensive purchases. The Ger- man profiteers bought out whole stores and removed the merchandise from the market, to await the incre: in prices which was certain to follow. Some merchants hung out the sign “sold out,” closed their stores and also waited. Workmen, unemployed, and the poorer people were so angered by these methods that sporadic outbreaks occurred in many parts of Germany, shops were broken into and plundered and a few proprietors were beaten or whipped.

The condemned were not present to be tried, so that these sentences can only be put into effect if one of the guilty person should be arrested in France.

Other sentences imposed out hardly likely to be executed ranged from one year in prison for swindling to ten years in solitary confinement for bru- tality, 20 years at hard labor for vio- lence causing death and hard labor for life for willing a Frenchman in cold blood.
