He spotted Nathaniel Perry. 32. of Hartford. reaching through the broken window of an automobile to steal a lunch box. Carmack gave chase and made the arrest.

Perry was sorry he had stolen the lunch box, but told Carmack he did it because ha was hungry. Carmack, still thinking rosy thoughts about retirement, escorted Perry to a restaurant, where he bought a meal for his prisoner. Carmack waited patiently until Perry had finished eating, then marched him to headquarters and had him booked on a charge of larceny.

BROS. I to Ex-Broker Court Orders Action in Stock Deal Informed of accusations that the head of a defunct brokerage firm had defrauded two sisters of $3,607.75, Circuit Judge James E. Chenot Saturday instructed Joseph L. Bannigan, assistant prosecutor, to take steps to charge the broker with larceny by conversion. The Court acted after Attorney Gertrude Clinton had asked the Court for delivery of the stock.

Miss Clinton said that In August, 1935, the sisters had purchased the stock from P. W. Churchman, head of the former P. W. Churchman brokerage firm.

The attorney said that Mrs. Charles F. Green had bought 150 shares of Consolidated Paper stock from the firm for $3,170.25 and that the other sister, Miss Edith Runyon, had bought 200 shares of the same stock for $4,437.50. The firm was placed in receivership Nov. 10, 1937, by Judge Chenot.

Informed of the transaction, Judge Chenot called Hal Engel, receiver for the firm. Engel said that the stock had been used by Churchman as collateral for a note given a Detroit bank 10 days prior to the receivership and that the stock had been taken over by the bank for nonpayment of the note. At the time of the transaction, Miss Clinton said, Churchman advised the sisters to leave the stock in his safe because they did not have a safety-deposit box. The Court was told that the stock never was transferred from Churchman's name. After they had purchased the stock, Miss Clinton said, Mrs.

Green and Mrs. Runyon were paid dividends by Churchman. "That was ltind of him," said Judge Chenot. "I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do about getting your stock for you. But you know that when I was in the Prosecuting Attorney's office, we had a name for such transaction we called it larceny by conversion.

It should not be dignified because it amounts to plain theft." JcuiilZL Small QiAsul (In Walmt) Rt.

Florida voters on Tuesday will ballot on five candidates for the Democratic nomination for United States senator in a primary election expected to indicate the state's sentiment toward the New Deal. A record vote is believed likely as youthful Senator Claude Pepper, ardent defender of the Roosevelt Administration, seeks a full term. Tepper, nominated without opposition two years ago to fill the vacancy treated by the death of Senator Duncan U.

Fletcher, this year has four challengers in the field against him. He is the only out-and-out New Deal condidate. His major competition is J. Mark Wilcox, fourth district, congressman, and former Gov. Dave Sholtz.

Two lesser known candidates are Finley Moore, Lake City abstractor, and T. C. Merchant, Madison newspaper Wilcox, foe of President Roose-vent's court and government reorganization bills, the wages-and-hours measure and the Cuban trade treaty, counts on support in a number of quarters from forces opposed to the New Deal, although Wilcox has contended he is "not anti-New Deal or anti-anything." Sholtz, who as governor from 1932 to 1936 worked closely with the Roosevelt Administration, has criticized Federal spending and many New Deal policies in his campaign.

Supreme IN I A OFFtIS YOU Spring Up in Place of Subway Projects By John Hetmanski Though virtually all possibility of a subway in Detroit is gone, the dream of a rapid-transit system lingers, as evidenced by numerous recent proposals for elevated highways. Foremost is the one advanced by Councilman John A. Kronk, details of which are now being drawn by State Highway Department engineers.

Wants 3O-Fo0t Highway Kronk's plan calls for a thirty-foot highway above Grand River Ave. from -ity limits to downtown. The highway would be used only by busses providing both express and local service. The plans are almost complete and will be presented to the Common Council in several days, Kronk said Saturday after a conference with highway officials. Financing could be handled through the City's share of weight and gasoline taxes, Kronk believes.

The plan has won the approval of many proponents of rapid transit. One of its most Important features is the low cost as compared with subways. Engineer lias an Idea A similar system was proposed last week by John O. Helnze, an engineer, of 3560 St. Aubin Ave.

It calls for an elevated road 16 feet wide supported by single beams. It would be traveled by busses running in deiressed tracks, with rubber tires and side barriers to make it silent and safe. Speeds as high as 120 miles an hour could be attained, Hcinze believes. He claims that construction costs would be about $420,000 a mile. Engineers estimate subway costs at about $4,000,000 a mile.

Asked to Call Again Heinze presented his plan to the City Plan Commission, which now has all the records of the Rapid Transit Commission, nonexistent since 1934. He was asked to prepare more details and appear at a future meeting and explain it to other department heads. Just how far these new plans for rapid transit will go is a question in the minds of Detroiters, who saw about $600,000 of their tax money spent for subway plans vhich never materialized. The first plan, calling for a 154,600,000 bond issue, was rejected by a mora than two-to-one major-' Ity in the 1929 election. V.

S. Rejects Alternate A subsequent plan calling for i eonstruction of an underground transit system as a PWA project at a cost of $87,000,000 was" approved by the voters in 1933, but later rejected by the Federal Government. This was followed by the dismissal in 1934 of Maj. John P. Hallihan, chief engineer for the Rapid Transit Commission, and his staff.

That appeared to be the end of rapid transit until early this year, when the City Plan Commis sion took over the records. Mayor Reading later asked the repeal of legislation in the charter creating the transit commission, which ceased operations in 1934 when its appropriation was abolished. The Common Council suggested that the Mayor appoint members of the plan commission to serve ns rapid-transit commissioners, thus making repeal unnecessary.

Police Investigate Fowl Play Theory Police are searching for the man who hastily abandoned his chicken business while in the midst of a sale Saturday morning when two officers from the Davison Station walked into a poultry market at 13134 Dequinure St. Meanwhile, they reported that they weren't getting very far in their questioning of Stanley Taw-lukewicz, 46 years old, of 18627 Dwyer whom they arrested when they found him sitting in a car outside the market guarding two cases of chickens for the man who fled. Pawlukewicz said that he couldn't tell them anything about the man they are seeking because he had just been hired. Should the chicken salesman who fled reconsider and decide he wants his chickens back he can get them by applying in person at the Davison Station.
