Jackson, suspended inspector for the Michigan Public Utilities Commission, on trial before a Jury in Recorder's Judge Donald Van Zlle's court room on a charge of accepting a bribe. Jackson explained that he accepted the money because the Slate was in financial difficulties and he wanted to use the sum to hire decoys to get evidence against other unlicensed companies. He said that be believed he received between J40 nd $45 from the Nevin company which, the State charges, was operating at the time without a vehicle license from the Utilities Commis-, aion.

Berke, district manager of the Nevin line, and Patrolmen Russell Veach and Emil Moede, formerly attached to the Police Vehicle Squad, are awaiting trial. Before Jackson took the stand, John Schmidt, clerk for the Nevin company, testified that he gave the inspector a $5 check on May 4. Jackson told him.

Schmidt said, that he noticed the line did not have its licenses and then declared he needed money for his gas and light bills. Jackson admitted accepting the check when cross-examined by A.

The old palate Is apt to come a little unreliable without practice That was pointed out Monday when Alex West, 35 jva.rs old, was brought before Recorder's Judge Christopher E.

Stein on a charge of drunkenness. West, a little groggy from his rigorous pursuit of his training routine, was unwrapped from a pole at Illinois and Rlvard Sts. "But you don't want to send me to jail," West explained, "You see, I've just got a new job and I'm starting to work almost immediately." "What kind of a job?" the Court asked. "I'm a beer tester. I have to taste the brews to see if they are any good," West explained.

"And I'm to go to work hers shortly." "And your condition when salvaged by the police," Judge Stein asked, "merely was In pursuit of knowledge? You were training for your new duties?" "That's right," West taid. "I had to get the old palate warmed up. You see in tasting, naturally you swallow a little 'the brew and I go so excited about distinguishing between the different makes that I forgot how much I was swallowing and "That will do," Judga Stein said. "Since you possess a rare talent and in view of the need for reviving a nearly vanished art, I will suspend sentence In your case. However, you might remember in the future to do more tasting and less swallowing." Curfew Ordered Strictly Enforced Cabarets Must Close Promptly at 2 Orders for more strict enforcement of the 2 a.

m. curfew regulation in speakeasies in the First Precinct were issued Monday by Inspector William G. Rick, of the Central Station. Inspector Rick's order followed the raid early Monday on the Chanticleer Club, 9 Duffleld formerly known as Luigi's. I Shortly before 3 a.

m. a report was received at Central Station of i a shooting there. Sergt. Matthew Weldon and a crew responded. The police said they were denied admittance on the street floor and also on the second floor, where the club is located.

They forced entrance by crashing in the doors. i According to Sergt. Weldon, they found more than 125 persons there. Sergt Weldon reported that Louis Riccardi, manager, told him all the patrons had arrived before 2 1 a. m.

and that none had been admitted after that hour. i Sergt. Weldon, who is in charge of enforcement of the curfew law in the First Precinct, was asked by Inspector Rick to explain the presence of the patrons "after hours." He told Inspector Rick he passed the cabaret shortly after 2 a. tried the door and found it locked and presumed the place was closed. He further explained there ape 400 cabarets in the First District, which adds to the difficulties of enforcement.

If yoa'r looking for hrtirr plnr In v. jimt now tn thf KKNT.M, colli rant in rr Pmw ant AiU. come vicious In the past three years, by which each nation has been trying In vain to offset the effects of the general deflation by trying to sell more and Duy less in an ever-contracting total world market. The Administration has let It be known that it wishes to Join with other countries in a reduction of tariffs and other barriers to the exchange of goods. This is a sound objective, and of the highest importance.

But the ODlnlon may be ventured mat it can succeed only if it is accompanied by powerful measures designed to raise the world price level. or the tariffs, exchange controls, im port quotas and other restrictive devices of recent years are in the first instance the effects or oena-tion rather than the original cause of It- The world pr ce level, whicn is what determines finally the level of domestic prices in all countries, is, therefore, the central problem to be dealt with. It is not wholly clear as yet just how this problem can best be dealt with. But certain aspects of the immediate American approach to It are, I think, sufficiently evident to justify a few definite decisions. Obtains New Freedom Tt Is clear, for example, that when the United States was forced to suspend gold payments, it obtained a freedom of decision which it did not have before and could not hon orably have assumed.

It has not used that freedom constructively. Partly through lack of leaaersnip In the Federal Reserve System, partly through the lack or a clear Dolicv for these matters in the the United States today has all the disadvantages of being off the gold standard without the advantages. Instead of allowing the dollar to find Its own level in relation to sterling and the franc and of expanding credit to offset defla tion, as ana ranee um when they were driven off gold, the United States has been letting Britain, and even helping her, to man age the dollar. We are thus in the rather absurd position of allowing the value of the dollar to be fixed in London In the intcresfof Britain and of the other nations on the sterling standard. The time is at hand, therefore, when the United States should assume control of Its own monetary policy so that when the moment comes to stabilize currencies Internationally we shall not make the mistake that Great Britain made in 1925 of stabilizing the dollar at a point so high that we are doomed to a long period of deflation and depression.

That is a real danger which now confronts us, and this is the time to avert it. Would Stay Off Gold Standard The way to avert It is to remain definitely nit the gold standard for the time being, to use the freedom from the necessity of making gold payments to expand credit at home and to let the dollar be revalued in the outer world In relation to other currencies. The adoption of such a policy ought to reduce the world demand for gold and produce inflationary effects. As long as the American budget is under the kind of firm control which Mr. Roosevelt has established, there Is no more reason to think that the policy would be any more dangerous here than it has proved to be in Great Britain.

Having adopted it, we can negotiate as a free agent and on equal terms with Great Britain with a view to setting up again a workable International standard. The execution of such a policy requires financial leadership of great courage and wisdom. A large part, of such a policy would have to be carried out by the Federal Reserve System, and "'Mr. Roose velt might do well to make it his immediate business to find men to manage the system who can and will carry it out. (( 'opviicht.

THE work of the Roosevelt Administration thus far falls Into two grand divisions. In the first 30 days the foundations have been laid for a restoration of confidence In the Federal Government. Within the past few days the initial steps have been taken to promote inter national co-operation. It will be necessary to enter almost immediately a third field of effort, namely, a deliberate management of monetary policy involving decisions about the expansion of credit, and the terms on which the United States will eventually return to a reformed international standard. The achievement of the Administration in the first month may be summed up In some such way as this: The President brought unity into the Government by an overwhelming demonstration that Congress and public opinion would uphold the authority of the Administration.

This authority has been used, first, to reopen banks under what amounts to a moral guaranty by the Government; second, to restore the Federal credit by subduing the politically powerful vested Interests which had been undermining it; third, to provide, relief of distress, through grants to localities through a system of Federal outdoor relief, through measures to stop foreclosures of farms and small homes, and to facilitate agreement between debtors and creditors; fourth, to initiate financial reforms designed to impose higher standards of trusteeship upon bankers, promoters, brokers and others who are responsible for the care and management of other people's money; fifth, to prepare for a program of Govern ment expenditure through public works designed to produce a direct increase of purchasing power. All of this is clearly a first, a necessary, but a preliminary phase of reconstruction. these measures had to come first because the first thing that had to be done was to restore the authority and credit of the Government. These measures were necessary because until the Government had proved its capacity to control expendi ture and Its superiority over credl tor and debtor interests alike. It could not undertake more positive measures to clear the channels of trade and raise the level of prices.

But these positive measures have to be taken, and they have to be taken promptly. For at present price levels, snd with the continu ing Impact of the world deflation, there is no such thing as keeping the budget in balance, or providing enough relief, or readjusting fixed charges to earnings and income. As Mr. Keynes has put it, when deflation continues the only way to bring budgets, public, corporate or individual, into balance is at zero on both sides of the account.

Squaw Is Fighting for $3,600 Estate Circuit Court to Rule on Appeal Tuesday The appeal of an Indian squaw for the $3,600 estate of a white man, whom she claims as her husband, will be continued Tuesday before Circuit Court Judge Joseph A. Moynihan.

Rachel Elgin Carey, sixty-year-old Chippewa Indian from Walpole Island, appealed the case to Circuit Court following an adverse decision by Probate Judge Henry S. Hulbert on her claim to the $3,600 left hv John Carey. In 1920 when she was peddling baskets which she had made on the reservation. Mrs. Carey testified, she met Carey.

Four years later they decided to marry although they did not go through a wedding ceremony. Their relationship con tinued until 1927 when he left the Island. She did not learn of his death in 1928 until a year ago, she said, and immediately brought suit for his property. William Dorn. assistant attorney general.

Introduced documents to show that in 1892 the woman was wed to 'Richard George, another Indian on the same reservation. There never had been a divorce, he declared, and consequently her marriage to Carey could pot have been legal. Mrs. Carey countered with the reply that she had been divorced from her Indian mate by the chief of the tribe whose powers In such matters are accepted by all members of the tribe. House Restaurant to Sell 32 Brew WASHINGTON.

April 10 (A. Representatives are going to have their 3.2 beer within easy reach or know the reason why, but matters of economy may keep it out of the House cloakrooms. By a vote of five to four, the House Accounts Committee today decided to permit the brew to be sold in the House restaurant, although only In bottles-and thus beer returns to the Capitol after a thirty-year absence. For a time it appeared that beer would be sold In the House Democratic and Republican cloakrooms, but Speaker Rainey later ruled against It because of the necessity of obtaining two additional licenses at $100 each. Frank Verdi, restaurant manager, said he hoped to have beer of all varieties available for sale on Wednesday.

Veteran Retired Policemen Dead Flags Dipped for Two Former Members Police Headquarters flags were jat half staff Monday, honoring the memory of two former members of the department whose deaths were reported. Retired Patrolman Thomas Do-herty, 44 years old. of Lnkrport, died In Marine Hospital as a result of a heart condition attributed to service in the World War. He was a member of the Police Department for 19 years, retiring five years ago. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.

Schnable, 71. of 3050 Fisher dted In his home after a brief illness. Ho retired from the Police Department in 1915 after 29 years' service. The funeral will be at 2 p. m.

Thursday, with burial In White Chapel Cemetery. But Pastor Opposes Regulatory Laws While he opposed regulatory laws such as that advanced at Lansing to prevent married women from working, the Rev. Stephen A. Witt-liff In his noon Lenten sermon Monday at the Catholic Church of the Most Holy Trinity, urged married women to refrain from working unless stern necessity required it. Among the other noon Lenten speakers Monday were the Rev.

M. 8. Rice, D. pastor of Metropolitan Methodist Church, who continued his sermons at the Keith Temple Theater under auspices of the Detroit Council of Churches, and the Rev. Leo J.

Chapman, pastor of the Church of the Epiphany, who gave the noon discourse at 8t. Aloysius' Catholic Church. Warns of Rougher Job Father Wlttliff, director of the diocesan apostolate In the Diocese of Detroit, urged even single women to avoid the rougher jobs, such as some sorts of factory work which he declared is "repellent to the nature and dignity of woman, because It degrades her by making her associate with rude male companions, from whom she contracts mannish habits, and soon she apes masculine conduct. Michigan House Bill 381 fathered by Rep. John Dykstra, of Muskegon, would limit married women to the professions, but Father Wittliff delineated a much wider field for women, married or single, who must work.

Women can find honorable and remunerative careers In business, education, finance, professions, clerical and managerial vocations," he continued. "Husband and wife should not both be employed outside the home at the same time because this is a violent Inversion of the natural order of things, and invites danger in the social realm. A married woman has neither religious, nor moral, nor social right to perform a work dis tinctly assigned by God to man, the provider and protector of the home." Comparing modern prototypes with Pilate. Father Wittliff added that "subversion of justice and sociological miscarriage is to be found today In the pseudo-reformer and the egocentrically appointed conservator of the destinies of individ uals and of the morals of society. Dr.

Rice stressed the mercy of God. "If It were not for the real mercy of God the best among us would have no place to stand. Sin Is Its own condemnation. It is not necessary to preach its condemnation. Yet more preaching of judgment has been done than of forgiveness.

Gospel of God's Mercy "The Gospel of the grace of God is not condemnation but mercy. That is good news. Had I nothing more to preach to a world like this than judgment I would have quit preaching long ago. But I have a Gospel of forgiveness to preach squarely Into the condemnation of sin. "God has provided for us all better than we deserve, and has writ ten across sin everywhere the assurance of His mercy and forgiveness." At noon Tuesday Dr.

Rice will speak on "Never Mind Me." Father Chapman deplored the tendency of the day to spend Sat-uday night at parties and to remain in bed Sunday morning. "The misfortune is that the breaking of the commandment regarding Sunday observance leads to the violation of other commandments," he ohserverd. "It would be most salutary for many people to remember that during the days of Moses those who broke the Sabbath were stoned to death." The Very Rev. Albert H. Poetker, S.

president of the University of Detroit, will speak Tuesday in St. the sermon to be preceded ivy an organ recital by Miss Olive Bergeron. Judges to Frame Assignment Plan To Work Out Details for Two Courts At the monthly meeting of the Wayne County Circuit Judges, Monday night at the Detroit Athletic Club, State Presiding Judge Harry J. Dlngeman, and County Presiding Judge Ira W. Jayne, were appointed to confer Tuesday with Recorder's Judge John V.

Brennan to work out a plan for the assigning of Circuit Court cases to Recorder's Court. This plan will be tentative to the passage by the State Legislature of pending legislation designed to relieve the burden of the Circuit judges. It was approved in last Monday's election by Detroit voters as a charter amendment. Judge stated that he ex- periea an neiaus wouin ne worKcn out, and Recorder's Court would begin to function as a subsidiary of the Circuit Court immediately after receiving legislative sanction. The new system, he said, would Involve the deputizing or tne Ke-corder's Court clerks as deputy County clerks.

He also pointed out that a system would have to be worked out whereby the presiding Circuit judge would refer cases to the presiding Recorder's judge, or else provide for the appointment of one judge presiding over both courts. Under the law now being consid ered, he said, the Recorder's judges K. .1, i The joyous saga of deliverance beard annually in Jewish for more than 3,000 years was re peated Monday at sundown when Detroit Jewish families gathered round the ceremonial dinner table to open the eight-day festival of the Passover. Perhaps the oldest religious ceremony In the world certainly the oldest feast of Israel the Passover commemorates emancipation of the Jewish people from bondage In Egypt. In the picturesque seder, as the ritualistic meal is known, the heads of families in reply to four traditional questions from the children chant the story of freedom.

Like Thanksgiving Day, or Christmas in Christian homes, the Passover Is a time of home-coming, and many daughters and sons traveled long distances to Bit at Monday's symbolic meal. Among Orthodox Jews the seder will take place again Tuesday evening. While the holiday Is essentially for the home, public gatherings also take place In the synagogs at the opening and closing of the octave. In the large cities, the modern custom Includes also public seders at which Jews away from home, or without homes, are guests. Temple Beth El.

Detroit's Reform group, will have Its customary congregational seder and dinner Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock, when the Temple Sisterhood will serve the meal. Rabbi Leon Fram, director of religious education for the Temple, will preach the Passover sermon at 10 a. m. Tuesday. "The Door Is Opened." will be his topic.

At Congregation Shaarey Zedek, the chief Conservative synagog, a service Monday evening ushered in the festival, and the exercises will continue Tuesday morning and evening, and Wednesday, morning. Rabbi Eliezer Levi, of Montclalr, N. led the Monday night exercises. A one-act play entitled "The Third Seder" will be given at B'nai Moshe Synagog on Wednesday evening by more than 40 school children, with a musical program in charge Zussman Caplan, violinist. In the auditorium of Congregation Ahavath Achlm Wednesday evening a program arranged by tne staff of the Oakland Talmud Torah will be given for a parent-teacher gathering.

Big Ad Campaign Begun by Maytag An extensive advertising campaign Is being undertaken by the Maytag Washing Machine It was announced by F. L. Maytag, seventy-flve-year-old chairman of the board of directors of the concern, on a week-end visit to dealers and sales representatives in Detroit. Accompanying Mr. Maytag on his inspection of the territory were L.

M. Green, manager of the Indianapolis division; Lee Hanson, of the Kramer-Krasselt Advertising and Fred L. Reiner, Maytag's Detroit manager. At an age when many men prefer to live a quiet life, Mr. Maytag still spends at least half of his time visiting dealers and employees In all parts of the country, believing that in no other way can he obtain so accurate a knowledge of the problems confronting his organization.

Despite bank holidays and other troubles, Mr. Maytag Is essentially optimistic over the future. He points out that people insist on clean clothing and, as a result, washing macnines, just as everything else, must wear out. The knowledge, that, heavy replacement purchases must he made prompt him to lead an energetic Campaign for new business. the door of the M.

Meantime, some time this summer, when the Sallan Jewelry store moves into the vacated Traub store another clock, not so but just as historic, will replace it. That will be the Sallan clock, the first electrically operated clock to be seen In Detroit. When it appeared 20 years ago it was a momentous occasion. Before it was installed, according to S. E.

Sallan, there was a continuous disagreement as to the exact time on Woodward and the owners of the dissenting clocks were the recipients of dally complaints from businessmen who blamd them for missed engagements and tardy Perjury Charged in License Case A warrant charging perjury In obtaining an operator's license, believed to be the firct warrant of its kind in the history of the Detroit prosecutor's office, was recommended Monday for Stanley Sta-wlnski, 11405 Charest Ham- tramck.

Monday, sensed that something was missing at the southwest corner. Monday others knew that the missing something was the massive clock which Jutted out above the sidewalk before Traub Brothers jewelry store. Detroiters had good and sufficient reason to miss that clock, for It had been marking the hours at that corner since the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Above it was an eagle, wings outstretched, ready for flight.

That eagle was preparing to leave that corner when young blades and their prospective brides scorched up to the door under the clock on bicycles built for two and emerged later with blushes on the blades' whiskered cheeks and thick gold-banded rings in "weskit" pockets. Hands Stopped Sunday The hands of the clock continued harvesting hours, the scenes changed around the corner, the thick wedding rings were replaced by slim and daintily tooled "orange blossom" bands which were invented at that corner, and that eaglo did not take flight until Sunday, when the hands were stopped end workmen pulled the clock down preparatory to the removal of Traub Brothers to a new location at Washington Blvd. and Clifford St. When the workmen started removing the clock they discovered that It was occupied. Two pigeons were inside, engaged In the very serious business of "blessed eventing." As they refused to get off their nests, the workmen had to he especially careful about handling their home.

The clock was removed to storage, and at the latest report, the pigeons were still sitting on their nests. Pigeons Take Their Tlma Like the eagle, they intend to take their time about flying away. Unlike the eagle, they will not be able to take the same length of time to reach a decision, for those wings were outstretched for many years before the clock hung at that corner. Once it was at the corner of Jefferson and Woodward Avei, over t.iitiiu Bit. uiiim cases arising in the City.
