Accidents took at least 17 lives in
Michigan over the week-end, auto-

fatalities.
The most unusual accident cost the
life of Richard Bates, nine, of Port-
land, Mich. A toy cannon which his

with powder 50 years ago, exploded
when the boy attempted to burn out
what he thought was an obstruction
in the barrel and Richard was killed.
The grandfather said he had forgot-
ten loading the cannon.
Fannie Marie Olson, nine, o'f Re-
public, fell from a railroad bridge in-
to the Michigamme river and
drowned.
In Detroit, Leopold Vokal fell from
a ladder while feeding pigeons in the
loft of his garage. He thought he had
escaped injury, but died last night of
a neck fracture.
Harm Warsen, 55, McBain farmer,
was struck and killed by an Ann Ar-
bor railroad train.

Five Killed In
Belfast's Riots;
Patrol Streets
BELFAST, Northern Ireland, July
15. - (A)--Steel-helmeted troopers
with fixed bayonets patrolled the
streets today, alert for any new out-
break of the disturbances which re-
sulted in five deaths and the wound-
ing of 74 persons.
Comparative quiet prevailed during
the early hours after a series of re-
ligious riots, originating with last
Friday's celebrations by the Protest-
ant Orangemen of the 245th anni-
versary of the battle of the Boyne.
The latest casualty was seven-year-'
old Kathleen Stewart, who was shot
down by a sniper from behind a
chimney pot last night while she was
playing on a street. She was taken
to a hospital with a bullet in her
shoulder.
A search for arms was pressed to-
day. Police took elaborate precautions
to prevent further bloodshed during
the funeral of two of Friday's victims,
Mary Broderick, 29, and Edward
Withers, 18.
Flattery Gets
His Man For A
New Yrk Cop
NEW YORK, July 15.- (P)-A
little flattery, and out came a crime
secret. To John Mang, accused as
a member of the Brooklyn-Queens
"rifle gang," which eluded police
for three years, a police lieutenant
said:
"It's almost genius the way you
boys always got away. We ought to
name your method after you; that is,
if we had any idea of how you did
it."
Mang beamed and told.
They used two license numbers,
he said, a big one on the rear of
their car, a little number on the
front. Pursued, they drove fast
enough to turn around and double
back.

Plan To Have Inmate Able
To Pay Finances Himself
While In Prison
LANSING, July 15. -P(2)- The
state today became a nagging room-
ing house keeper to inmates of its
prisons.
Auditor General John J. O'Hara
launched enforcement of the Delano
bill, designed to make every prisoner
in a state prison, with vulnerable.
property, to pay his own keep. He
sent a questionnaire to every state
prison requiring every inmate to list
his property holdings.
O'Hara has appointed a former as-
sistant attorney general, Ralph E.
Hughes, to enforce the law. A form-
er administration had employed
Hughes to extract from inmates of
state mental and hospital institutions
the cost of their hospitalizaion.
Board Bills Included
Represenative Carl F. Delano, Re-
publican, Kalamazoo, wrote the bill
which was adopted by the legislature
and signed by the governor, and
which will permit the state to force
prison inmates to pay the average per
capita cost of their incarceration and
also pay their board bills since the
time they were imprisoned.
The measure is awaiting the first
contestant on the grounds of its con-
titutionality. Hughes denied a rum-
or that Ralfe McDonald, who will
inherit $250,000 on his majority, and
who slew his mother in Flint, will be
the first defendant in a circut court
suit to collect board for state prison
inmates.
The state legislature passed a law
in 1923 which empowered the auditor
general to collect for hospitalization
fromall monied inmates of sanitoria
and mental institutions.
$207,392 Collected In 1934
Records for the fiscal year of 1934
show the state treated 15,209 such
cases and collected $207,392 from pa-
tients able to pay their own way and
an additional $100,000 in collateral.
The questionnaires mailed to the
State Prison of Southern Michigan
today require each prisoner to give
the name of his guardian, list his real
estate holdings, his ownership of per-
sonal property, his army service, and
the amount of his pension of com-
pensation from the army.
Prosecutor Makes Petition
In order to collect from prisoners
with finances, the auditor general or
local prosecuting attorney must make
a petition in the court in which the
prisoner was sentenced, praying for
funds from his estate to cover the
entire cost of keeping the defendant
prisoner.
The sentencing judge then names a
guardian for the prisoner if he has
had none previously. Dependants
will be considered by the judge in
setting the amount of the payments.
"Previously, persons who became
insane through no fault of their own
were forced to pay for their keep by
the state if they were financially
able," O'Hara commented. "Crimin-
als incarcerated due -to their own ac-
tions were boarded free and spent
their caches after serving their time.

LONDON, July 15. - (P) - When
Sir Philip Game becomes boss of
Scotland Yard next November, he
will be open to fire from many critics.
Such has been the experience of
all his 12 predecessors in the post,
officially styled commissionership of
police for the metropolitan area of
London.
The very scope of "The Yard's"
activities makes its chief a bull's eye
for the barbed darts zealous British-
ers are fond of throwing whenever
they think their much vaunted liber-
ties are threatened.
''E's A Blinkin' Tyrant
Even a minor charge in police ad-
ministration may raise a storm of
censure, for the popular mind, the
yard bosses are ruthless autocrats
without due regard for the nation's
democratic traditions.
In addition to preserving order in
Greater London's 700 square miles,
the commissioner must be a born
leader of men.
Past bosses have faced bitter crit-
itism because they allegedly failed to
keep their 30,000 odd constables hap-
py as well as mentally and physically
alert.
Class Favoritism Charged
Much of the public reproof admin-
istered to the retiring commissioner,
Lord Trenchard, arose from his ef-
forts to stop what he called "mental
and physical rot" in the force.
A glut of old men, with no chance
of promotion, had impaired the
force's efficiency, Trenchard held. To
mend matters, he started hiring
young college men on short term en-
gagements not exceeding 10 years.
A nation-wide cry at once arose
that Trenchard was demoralizing the
force by introducing class distinc-
tions. That the reverse was the truth
i
i
SIR PHILIP GAME
was admitted even by policemen wh
the popular fervor had cooled.
Both Trenchard and his predec
sor the late field marshal, Lord Byi
in fact, earned the respect anda
miration of the yard's men fori
spiring the force with their prest
and personality.
It is to carry on this tradition th
Sir Philip Game, with five years
experience in handling recalcitra
New South Wales politicians, has be
chosen to succeed Trenchard.
