CLOSES III (INIIH LITTLE LAO Bar Pays Respect to Judge of Ford Republic How One Little Lad Made Good Despite His Early En vironments. DETROIT, Oct, 28. Tito nows sov oral wookH bro that Judge Frederick Iilotunn liail died foil upon an iRnor nnt ntiil at first unrosponslvo nnWIc. Who nvnB JudRO Frederick Woman? Throo diiyn Inlot- thousands know hlt llfo story. l'Yudorlok Dloinrm, 13 yonrs old. Illiterate, red-honded and undcrslxod, n. rcsouud waif and an uxIncorrlRlblo, was judge of tho citizens' court of tho Ford Hoimhllc for boys at De troit. Four .years ago ho was con roiiHortliiK with liobocs and bogRinf; food for thorn. Ho watt a dirty, swearing, tobacco-cliowlng imp, with no recollection of a homo, or a moth er, nnd with no respect for any Hvinn thlntt. Yet at IiIb death n Judge of Michigan's supremo court trnveled 100 miles to attend the funeral, the probato court of Wayno county ad joumed over two days In his honor, leaders of bar nnd bench held a meet ing to pronounco his eulogies, nnd men and women of distinction gath ered round his b'or In the navo of St. Paul's Cathedral. Ford Republic, tho Buporlntendeni of which Is Homer T. Lane, Is a home ftjr wayward boys. It Is greatly sim ilar in Its principles of reformation to tho bettor-known George Junior Republic. For a time after Fred Bol man was brought there tho habits of his formor life mado him one of the most unmanageable boys In the re public. Ho had been taken by the police from a band of gypsies, .nd Is said to have been one oC the most foul-mouthed youngsters whom the authorities hnd ever discovered. To causo self-respect, a proper re gard for others, to grow In such a soil seemed a hopeless task. Yet young Blomnn's reformation, after he came to the republic, though Rrad- ual, was sure. He was slow to show tho qualities that were In him. A strong, almost grotcstque sense of hu mor, which strangely enough, smack ed of none of tho vulgarity of his for cr habits of mind, won him ultimate popularity. After threo years' rcsi dotico tho boys elected him judgo of their Citizens' Court for a term of six months. At the end of that period ho was re-elected. No one had ever administered justice In tho little re public with such firmness, fairness and good-will. When Fred's second term was drawing to a close his fel low citizens hnd no thought but to re-elect him. But Fred lay in the hospital with a fatal illness. Realiz ing that he could not sorvo them again, yet unwilling that another should wear his title, tho cltlzous created tho position of associate judge, and to thnt office elected one of their number. On the bench young Bolman dis played IiiBcnuIty, tact, and ability In handling his follow-cltizens. White trying an alleged thief, Fred onco asked tho accused: "Then you're willing to bo known as a ciook?" The defendant mado no objection, and Fred ruled: "Well, you are a crook." Later ho was brought before tho su premo court for applying tho word "crook" to tho accused. In defend ing himself Fred evolved a definition thnt has slnco becomo classic In tli republic: "A crook Is a follow who Is willing to bo callod a crook." Heart dlsonso caused his death. In a eulogy In the probato court ono of tho attorneys said: "Tho llfo of this lad called ncaln to my mind a sentence by Bookor T. Washingten: 'It Is not tho height to which a man attains that mcasuruH his grontuess, but tho distance which he travels In getting there.' Judged by this stand ard, who can estimate tho greatness of 13-year-old Fred Bolman? Ho wns ono of the most efficient aides the court over had In Its juvcnllo work." His follow-cltizens attended his fu neral. As the throng which had gath ered round his blqr moved out Into tho opon air an awed urchin was hoard to whlsper: "Gee! A lot of folks came to see Fred burled, dldu't thoy?" FANS CAN SEE HIM ACTION Scene in Bright Eyes Shows Section of Bleachers With Fans Wildly Rooting Cecil Leon Kns Splendid Song to Sing. Mcrifonl fnns will have nil oppor nity to see how they really look whon rooting in the bleachers when "Hrijjbl Uyo.s" come to tho Moil I'onl Then I re for nn engagement ono night, Tuesday, Ootober ,'llst. In this now play, whieh is by the author oC "Throo Twins," Cecil Lean who with Florence Ilolbrook, is es pecially fontured in the east, inter polates his famous base ball song, "He's u Fan, Fan, Fun," one of the eleverost satires on the base ball "rooter" ever given on the stage. The wo. tls and business of the song are Air. Lean's own and the uuiic wns written by Miss Ilolbrook. Mr. Lean is a base ball "fan" of the first water and admits that he learned to imitate the "rooter" bv the simple method of being one him self. In his boyhood days in J)e- troit Mr. Loan was a sand lot ball player nnd he still nt times regrets that bis earliest ambition, that of be coming one of the stars of the dia mond, was .doomed to dirtppoiuU incut. But he never misses a game that ho ean ixssible see. He num bers many of tho great players as his jHirsoiinl friends and in the song whieh he has introduced in "Hritrhl Eyas" lie has immortalized the faith ful, but humble "rooter" who is to a real bne ball game what the charac ter of the melancholy Dane is to the tragedy of "Hamlet." 35,900 MILES AUTO'S RECORD u ' Dull Dog Abbott-Detroit Here After Trip to Alaska Passed Through Mcdford Last August on His Way Farthest North.

The Abbott ear has been travelling sfuee July, 1010 on the longest trip ever known to the auto mobile industry 100,00 miles nnd judging from its performance up to date it bids fair to accomplish the feat. The ear has already been com pletely around the borders of the United States for the first lime in the history of nutomobiling and has puthfiticd the Pacific highway from Tin Juaua. Mexico to Vancouver, British Columbia, and has travelled under its own power from Skagwuy, Alaska over the dreaded White Pass to the headwaters of the Yukon river am been to a point HO miles beyond tit degrees north in the Arctic Circle and a thousand niilos farther north than ever bofore made by an automobile. For this feat Dr. Percival and his companion George Brown won the valuable silver trophy offered by the Daily Alaskan of Skngwny, in addi tion the Arctic Brotherhood the fatn our organization of the Arctic Cir cle composed only of men who have "mushed" over the trail and lived north of fi4 degrees, made both men members of the order while Dr. Per cival shares with the Lord Governor of Canada, Karl Grey, of being .1 Grand Arctic Chief of tho order. The two men have crossed the continent twice nnd are now making their way east over the historic Oregon trail. At the completion of the 100,000 .miles, the car is to be toni down and subjected to an exhaustive examin ation by a technical committee com posed of prominent automobile au thorities, and it is conceded that both the industry and tho Abbott Motor Car Co. will benefit greatly bv what has been arcomnlislic.l i,v this $lf00 American automobile.
