acid about 8 last night in an attempt to end her life! ive minutes before she was chatting merrily with her girl chum Emma Squires clerk in a nearby grocery store and it appears from the chum's story that Miss Dayton had no care in the world After she had emptied the poison bottle and thrown at the doorstep of called in her agony terrifying scream tlie store nearby heard the call and rushed to her friend forgive Harrietgasped to iter friend Mr and Mrs Dayton rushed out of the house and found Harriet ly ing in the grass An ambulance was called and she was hurried away to Harper hospital where be lieved site will recover Until about three weeks ago Miss Dayton had been employed in a down town tailor shop according td the story told last night by Miss Squires Miss Squires said that her friend had no love troubles and declares she can think of no reason Whatever why she should try to take her life The Dayton family occupy a very small cottage far back from the street and are said to be in rather humble although comfortable cir cumstances None of the neighbors is able to assign any reason for the rash act Even her parents wereat a loss to know to what to attribute it although they were too much excited last night to discuss it Harriet had been the store with her mother and no one seemed to know that she had somewhere secured the poison Wins Prestige by Saving Saloon Re striction Ordinance rom Defeat Aid Watson lias distinguished himself as a diplomat of high de gree" At the outset he had' a fine chance to bring about tlie utter de feat of the Watson ordinance which provides that no more saloons shall be established in residential dis as designated by tlie common council He says if he had sub mitted the ordinance in the original form isueh unquestionably would have been its fate It placed him in tlie light of trying to enforce sa loon restriction laws in the terri tory represented by other aldermen it would have aroused antagonism because of the' presumption of its originator if f6r no other reason Watson is modest when it comes to running tlie wards of other aider men although not backward as far as his own district is concerned lie neui oacK tor before lie submitted il was suggested oy a tew indtvld tlie senior aiderman from tlie twelfth had acquired a plain case of chilled pedals Not at all Air Watson was sitting up nights figuring how he could get the coun cil in line minus any friction He concluded that he is not elected to run the wards of other aldermen and he cut tlie ordinance down to fit the tipper end of the twelfth from orest avenue north to the city limits This was a lonely little patch of the forty square miles that comprise the city of Detroit But he reached the wire before there were numerous entries for the saloon restriction contest At the first council meeting four wards in all were included in tlie restrict ed! district and now over 25 per cent of the entire area of the city is on the no new saioons district Aidermen from the eighteenth fif teenth and seventeenth wards also are talking of including the north ern ends of their: wards under the terms of the ordinance knew tlie others would come with me if I confined my attentions to my own said Watson think the original ordinance would have passed this council in 1000 years" Now the talk of running Watson for mayor on theRepublican ticket against Mayor Thompson has start ed afresh Any man who can swin" the council in line on anything cue tailing the pull of brewers is con ceded to be a daisy 4 INTEREST ON SAVINGS We make it easy for every man woman or child
