Ford to take some action on his $35,000 economy plan, the Dearborn City Council Tuesday night referred to the committee of the whole a proposal to place on the ballot the Charter changes necessary to effect the savings. The Mayor's suggestions are part of a $70,000 program, half of which has already been put into effect. The remainder provides for the consolidation of water, public works and engineering departments, the offices of the city physician and health commissioner and the abolition of the posts of assistant superintendent of public works, commissioner of water, superintendent of the water department, one justice of the peace and two of three city assessors. Councilman R. V.

Bovill suggested that the necessary Charter changes be placed before the voters and was supported by Councilman Michael Korte. The other members, however, voted to refer the matter to the committee of the whole, which meets Thursday afternoon. The Council passed unanimously a resolution by President Ernest G.

McLaughlin seized Schmiedl during a holdup, and while the youth clung to his legs, Schmiedl fired two bullets Into his back. It is charged. McLaughlin kept his grip until U. K. Frost, the store manager, subdue i Schmiedl.

Schmiedl was identified by Frost as the leader of the three men who walkid Into th. store. McLaughlin interrupted th robbery with his flying tackle. The two companions of Schmiedl fled, police said. After the shooting, Frost struck Schmiedl several times before he submitted to capture.

Belief that Schmiedl may have been implicated in holdups here was strengthened by the information that on Oct. 15 he wis arrested In Detroit as a robberv suspect. The detectives who took him Into custody searched him but found no weapon. Later they discovered a pistol ii. their car.

McLaughlin, of Muskegon, dean of the Michigan Congressional delegation and one of its most Influential members for a quarter of a century, died unexpectedly of a heart attack Tuesday morning at Marion, Va. Preparations were being made to bring the body back to his home city for burial late in the week.

He would have closed 26 years of service in the House on March 4, 1933. Although the death leaves an important vacancy on the delegation and reduces the Republican strength in the House, Gov. Wilber M. Brucker announced in Lansing that unless there is a definite demand from the Ninth District that the vacancy be filled, no special election will be held. He holds that delays Incident to holding such on election, perhaps a month, would minimize the opportunity for effective service of Rep.

McLaughlin'e successor in the short session of Congress soon to open, and that the expense would not be justified. Rep. McLaughlin was motoring to Washington to attend the Dec. 1 session. He was accompanied by his secretary.

Miss Anna Jensen, and by Miss Elsie Gould, secretary to Congressman John C. Ketcham, of Hastings, the two women, driving alternately. They had stopped overnight at the Lincoln Hotel, Marion, and planned to resume their journey Tuesday morning. Rep. McLaughlin responded when called at 8 o'clock, but failed to appear for breakfast.

Investigation revealed his body in the shower room, where he had been stricken. The water had been urne-l off. indicating that death came as he prepared to leave his bath. Word of the Congressman's death came as a shock to his Michigan colleagues and to friends in public life all over Michigan. Wednesday, according to present plans, a committee of senators and representatives will escort the body on its trip back to Michigan.

Included in the party, it is expected, will be all of Michigan's delegation in Congress. Kenneth Romney, House sergeant-at-arms, will be in charge. Rep. McLaughlin came to Michi they passed through Port Huron plored portions of their characters Thursday, was made today by C. E.

He was "ducated in the Muskegon High School and the University of Michigan, where he was graduated from the literary department In 1879 and the Law College in 1883.

He practiced law in Muskegon from the date of his admission to the bar until he was elected to Congress, serving two terms as prosecutor. The successful prosecution of George H. Jacks, Muskegon slayer who eventually was hanged in Chicago, was one of the outstanding achievements of his prosecutor career. It was one of the sensational criminal episodes of the day. Long before he won the post, Mr.

McLaughlin had an ambition to serve his district in Congress. The opportunity seemed to present itself when Gen. B. M. Cutcheon retired in the late 90's, but he stepped aside in favor of Rep.

J. W. Moon, a wealthy Muskegon lumberman, whom he eventually succeeded in the election of 1006. The Congressman rose to influence in 1921 as ranking member of the Committee on Agriculture, on which he served several sessions, and he then spurned transfer to the appropriations committee, on which he later gained important Republican seniority. In 1922, he was considered for appointment to the bench of the United States Customs Court of Appeals, but finally withdrew to continue his Congressional service.

Representing a district with the longest coastline save one in Michigan and including five important ports, he was largely instrumental in the development of the harbor facilities at Grand Haven, Muskegon, Manistee, Ludlngton and Frankfort. Besides his brother, Rep, McLaughlin is survived by a son, Wilson McLaughlin, of Muskegon.

He has met with unusual success in all of his operatic work where he has ample opportunity to make use of his fine dramatic ability. Perhaps this constitutes his forte. His recital would indicate it. There were songs, nevertheless, on the program which were received with outbursts of enthusiasm. The Negro songs of Jacques Wolfe, "Gwine to Hebh'n" and "Shortening Bread," and Kathleen L.

Manning's "Hop-Li, the Rickshaw-Man." for instance, were superb. They demand action, glib-ness of tongue and a swift change of style. In these Mr. Baromeo excels. He sang five groups of songs ranging from Henry Purcell of the Seventeenth Century to the contemporaries Richard Strauss and Ottorino Respighi.
