WOODRUFF CHARGES
WILLBE_ PROBED
Tells Borah of Facts He
Has Gathered in Alien
Property Case.
GOES BACKSX
&
FARM HOME BURNED
SUNDAY MORNING
According to the Saginaw News
Courier the possibilities of revelation of scandal involving both Democratic and Republican administrations are involved in the authorization of a senatorial probe of the office
of alien property custodian. Property
of Gernian citizens seized during tne
war, which this government has to
date refused to turn hack, is estimated to be worth $700,000,000.
Congressman Roy O, Woodruff or
Michigan and Senator King, Dem-
crat, of Utah, more than four years
ago charged fraud in connection with
the office of the alien property custodian and introduced resolutions for
an investigation. The house has'l
steadfastly refused to act on tne
Woodruff resolution, but the senate
on the day of adjournment unexpectedly adopted the King resolution unanimously.
Senator Borah of Idaho has been
named chairman of the Investigating'
committee which will snortly begin
the work which may rival the primary slush fund probe in the character of its findings. Congressman
Woodruff has addressed a letter to
the chairman of the committee calling attention to a mass of facts he
has gathered during his study of tne
.subject.
. Wodruff says that in view of tne
fact that Thomas W. Miller, alien
property custodian under President
Harding, and former attorney general Harry M. Daugherty are now un-
,der indictment ip connection witn
one deal involving German siezea
property. The administration of A.
Mitchel Palmer and Francis P. Garvin
should ba probed. He charges that
properties of enormous value have
been.sold by the custodian to favorea
purchasers—in some cases to ineligible and illegal purchasers—at
prices far below reasonable value;
that prodigious fees were paid by tne,

Rural Fire Truck Kept Busy
With Two Calls to. Country.
During Day.
Sunday forenoon the rural fire
truck was called"to the farm;,home
of Mrs. Elizabeth McKinnon, 2 1-2
miles west of Clare on tlie county
line' where they found a blaze fastly
consuming the building. The house
was occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Socoliuc and three children, who are
employed as beet workers. It is
thought that the fire originated rrom
a spark from the chimney lighting on
the roof of the upright.
The city firemen claim that had
they not been held up by an Ann
Arbor freight train in the city limits,
they believe they could have sayea
the building with not much loss, but
on late arrival were able to save tne
out buildings standing near with the
use of the chemical apparatus.
The loss will reach over $3,000;
In the afternoon the truck was called to fight a hay field nre on the
Clare County State Savings Bank
farm 13 miles north and east or Clare.
The boys made the trip over rougn
clay roads in 32, minutes.
About five of the forty acres in the
field had burned over and the fire was
dangerously -near the buildings when
the boys arrived, but* they drove the
truck right along the edge of the lire
strip and with the chemicals soon had
it under control.
The origin of the fire is unimown
as there was no one living on the
place or within a half mile of this
field.

COLEMAN MAN DIES
WHILE DRIVING AUTO
Stalling ol Engine Probably
Saved Wife and Daughter
From Serious Injury.
Frank Lovell. of near Coleman.
ageU 60, years, died at tne wheel of
his automobile on Saturday afternoon just as he reached the crest of
James hill.
He was accompanied by his wife
and daughter and fortunately he was
driving slow and as he fell forwara
over the wheel, the motor stalled.
Coroner Maynard was called and pronounced the cause of death as heart
failure. The funeral services were
held at Coleman.
They were on their way to .spend
the 4th with -relatives.
It has been anticipated for some
months that a large American builder
of motor cars would soon be on the
market with a European type low,
light car. The initial production, of
what may be the forerunner of a complete change in our great' mass production of light automobiles made its
appearance in this city last week. It
is* the .Overland Whippet on which
the engineers of Willys-Overland,
Inc., have been working, both^here
and in Europe, for the past two years.
This new car is totally different
i'rdin anything we have ever seen before in this country. It looks different, it acts different and it serves a
different but constantly increasing demand. Mechanically, it is an adaptation of the best that Europe has to
offer in the way of powerful, economical engines, with a wide speed
range, more power for climbing than
has characterized even the best of the
European productions, and with a,
flexibility, s'ilence and smoothness of
running which is new to our light
car production.
It is a quality" product in every detail from the trim, smart, extremely
low hung body with its brilliant fihisja
and superb upholstery to the last detail of its mechanical construction,
The sedan will travel 58 miles an
hour, as easily and comfortably as the
great majority of our present day
"sixes" and yet it is equipped with a
four-cylinder motor.
It will accelerate from 5 to 25 miles
*n hour in 10 seconds, or in just half

STONE FALLS FROM
JACKSON BUILDING
Luckily No Persons Were Passing This Place When Mortar
Leis Loose.
A large block stone window cap
about four fe.et long, one foot wide,
and six inches thick dropped from its
place above the second story window
in the Jackson block about eight
o'clock Wednesday "evening.
It it thought that it wa's caused by
the expansion and contraction of jheat
as the sun. shone directly on the front
of this building all of the afternoon,
and when evening came and it cooled,
it had contracted. sufficiently to loosen.the mortar.
Fortunately there was no 'one passing along this busy stretch of sidewalk at this particular time, but
Frank Jackson had stepped out of the
market just a moment before and was
standing at the edge pf the sidewalk
talking with a friend^when the stone
dropped.

JOHN REAKES AN
EXPERT MARKSMAN
Proves His Ability With Giro
Last Friday Evening After '
Hard Days Work in Field-. .,
Several forest iires in Clare county
have been assuming dangerous proportions during this week. Some or
these are along the Ann Arbor tracxs.
Some unoccupied buildings nortn
pf Lake George have been burnec,
but thus far none of the cottages at
the lakes have been reported to be in
danger.
Deputy Warden .Lambert, of* Clare,
and his helpers have been working,
day and night to keep these fires under control.
The fire hazard is greatly Increasea
because of the dry weather and tne
fact that on the wild land of the
county there are great quantities or
dry limbs and brush, as caused by
the havoc wrought in the trees by
the ice storm, of a few years ago.
Later Report as we go to Press
District Deputy Game Warden William Baird of Saginaw and • Charles
Peterson, of Lansing, . chief .of the
forestry division of Michigan were m
Clare on Wednesday investigating
the forest fire situation. Deputies
Lambert of Clare and Briggs of Harrison reports that all of the fires in
the county are now under control.
The Summit fire has burned over a
considerable area and the fire north
of Lake George is now extinguished.
A fire north and east of the Cornwell
ranch is -now' confined to a sma.li area
of muck where it will not do much
damage.
The fire wardens urge all persons
to -exercise great care while along tne
highways or in the woods and to report to the telephone central as soon
as a fire is discovered

GOES BACKSX & FARM HOME BURNED SUNDAY MORNING According to the Saginaw News Courier the possibilities of revelation of scandal involving both Democratic and Republican administrations are involved in the authorization of a senatorial probe of the office of alien property custodian. Property of Gernian citizens seized during tne war, which this government has to date refused to turn hack, is estimated to be worth $700,000,000. Congressman Roy O, Woodruff or Michigan and Senator King, Dem- crat, of Utah, more than four years ago charged fraud in connection with the office of the alien property custodian and introduced resolutions for an investigation. The house has'l steadfastly refused to act on tne Woodruff resolution, but the senate on the day of adjournment unexpectedly adopted the King resolution unanimously. Senator Borah of Idaho has been named chairman of the Investigating' committee which will snortly begin the work which may rival the primary slush fund probe in the character of its findings. Congressman Woodruff has addressed a letter to the chairman of the committee calling attention to a mass of facts he has gathered during his study of tne .subject. . Wodruff says that in view of tne fact that Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian under President Harding, and former attorney general Harry M. Daugherty are now un- ,der indictment ip connection witn one deal involving German siezea property. The administration of A. Mitchel Palmer and Francis P. Garvin should ba probed.

Country. During Day. Sunday forenoon the rural fire truck was called"to the farm;,home of Mrs. Elizabeth McKinnon, 2 1-2 miles west of Clare on tlie county line' where they found a blaze fastly consuming the building. The house was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Socoliuc and three children, who are employed as beet workers. It is thought that the fire originated rrom a spark from the chimney lighting on the roof of the upright. The city firemen claim that had they not been held up by an Ann Arbor freight train in the city limits, they believe they could have sayea the building with not much loss, but on late arrival were able to save tne out buildings standing near with the use of the chemical apparatus. The loss will reach over $3,000; In the afternoon the truck was called to fight a hay field nre on the Clare County State Savings Bank farm 13 miles north and east or Clare. The boys made the trip over rougn clay roads in 32, minutes. About five of the forty acres in the field had burned over and the fire was dangerously -near the buildings when the boys arrived, but* they drove the truck right along the edge of the lire strip and with the chemicals soon had it under control. The origin of the fire is unimown as there was no one living on the place or within a half mile of this field.

COLEMAN MAN DIES WHILE DRIVING AUTO Stalling ol Engine Probably Saved Wife and Daughter From Serious Injury. Frank Lovell. of near Coleman. ageU 60, years, died at tne wheel of his automobile on Saturday afternoon just as he reached the crest of James hill.

It has been anticipated for some months that a large American builder of motor cars would soon be on the market with a European type low, light car. The initial production, of what may be the forerunner of a complete change in our great' mass production of light automobiles made its appearance in this city last week. It is* the .Overland Whippet on which the engineers of Willys-Overland, Inc., have been working, both^here and in Europe, for the past two years. This new car is totally different i'rdin anything we have ever seen before in this country. It looks different, it acts different and it serves a different but constantly increasing demand. Mechanically, it is an adaptation of the best that Europe has to offer in the way of powerful, economical engines, with a wide speed range, more power for climbing than has characterized even the best of the European productions, and with a, flexibility, s'ilence and smoothness of running which is new to our light car production. It is a quality" product in every detail from the trim, smart, extremely low hung body with its brilliant fihisja and superb upholstery to the last detail of its mechanical construction, The sedan will travel 58 miles an hour, as easily and comfortably as the great majority of our present day "sixes" and yet it is equipped with a four-cylinder motor. It will accelerate from 5 to 25 miles *n hour in 10 seconds, or in just half (Continued on page Three) STONE FALLS FROM JACKSON BUILDING Luckily No Persons Were Passing This Place When Mortar Leis Loose.

Fortunately there was no 'one passing along this busy stretch of sidewalk at this particular time, but Frank Jackson had stepped out of the market just a moment before and was standing at the edge pf the sidewalk talking with a friend^when the stone dropped.
