Mr. Baker Plans to Allow Re quired 30 Days in Case Referendum Is Invoked. EMERGENCY CLAUSE ISSUE Park Commissioner Declines to Ac cept $3000 Raised by Committee to Help Develop Course XJntil Municipal Aid Is Certain. Face to face -with the danger of mu nicipal aid to the proposed municipal golf links project on the Ladd Estate property near Reed College being knocked in the head after privately subscribed money has been spent on developing the links. City Commission er Baker will ask the City Council this morning to repeal the ordinance passed come time ago providing for the es tablishment of the links, and will ask for the passage of. another ordinance giving 30 days' time In which oppo nents of the project may invoke the referendum if they desire. The action on Mr. Baker's part is the result of complaints from" a num ber of people, including ex-Municipal Judge Stevenson and Isaac Swett, that the ordinance by which the offer of the Ladd Estate to give the city use for five years of the 150-acre tract, with the taxes and all assessments paid by the Ladd Estate, was passed with an emergency clause attached, thereby forestalling the possibility of a. referendum being Invoked. , 300O Raised by Committee. Mr. Baker says that the passage of the ordinance in this way was not in tended to forestall the referendum but was to enable work to start this Sum mer. No intimation of a referendum was made prior to the passage of the ordinance, he says. As the proposition stands, a commit tee Interested in the project has raised 3000 during a month's campaign, Which was to be turned over to the city to spend in perfecting the links. The city next year was to add $4000 more to this fund to complete the work. The links after completion were to be on a self-sustaining basis, as they are in other cities of the country where municipal links have . been es tablished in recent years. Declaring that they did not have a chance to Invoke the referendum on the original ordinance, the opponents of the project have within the last few days announced that they will invoke the referendum against the ordinance that must be passed later appropriating the city's chare of the cost. - Acceptance of Fund Delayed. It was this rumor that caused Mr. Baker to refuse to accept the $3000 fund raised by subscription and to put In the ordinance to open the way for a referendum on the original ordinance. He says it would be a poor plan to take the $3000 subscribed and expend It if the city will be unable to com plete the project. "I have no desire whatever to pre vent the golf links project from going to the voters." said Mr. Baker yester day. "Had I known when the ordi nance was passed that there was any desire to invoke the referendum I cer tainly would not have affixed the emergency. "I am as strongly in favor of the municipal golf links now as when I voted for the ordinance. My course is merely one to protect the interests of the people who have subscribed the (3000.

"lie Reputation of the Maxwell - i aXT 7rHAT is the bore and stroke of your motor," was asked a Maxwell not long ago. A PI 1 'I don't know," he replied simply, I dont buy cars on figures any more. I buy them on what they've done.9 For this man, and for many others like him, it was enough that during -the thirteen strenuous years the Maxwell record for performance, reliability and economy had swept it to the front. Figures engine speed figures, horse-power figures, wheel-base figures they meant nothing to him. The name "Maxwell" carried more weight than all the technical description that could be offered. Maxwell cars have achieved this great good will and this priceless position with the public only by their unequalled record of things done. What is said of an automobile in its specifications is one matter. What the car actually does in the hands of owners, year after year, is another matter. The Maxwell car has won its position through sheer merit. It has set record after record in competition with cars of all prices and classes. Everything considered, the Maxwell is the safe investment. It is a known, tried and proved product. It will serve you as it is serving and has served countless others. Let us arrange for a demonstration today. You will be under no obligation. We want to give you a chance to convince yourself. Touring Car $655 Roadster $635 ,F. O. B. DETROIT , C. L.

ROTARIANS HAVE FROLIC TABLE FLIES TO PIECES DIKING CLUB DINNER Woman Has Hasband Throws Front Balcony, bat He Proves to Be Dim-mr-y-Buby" Members Get Bottles. When a table flew to pieces and scattered dishes all over the Crystal dining-room of the Benson Hotel last night tne members of the Rotary Club got the first idea of what the pro gramme committee had ln mind when they announced the dinner as a 'frolic." From that time on they were busy ex pecting the unexpected and getting it. A woman strayed into the dining- room seeking her husband, and after giving the Kotarlans the third degree, discovered him in the balcony. The committee unhesitatingly threw him over the railing, and after he hit witn a "dull, sickening thud" the audience realized that he was a dummy. The "Baby Rotarlans," latest mem bers added to the club, were brought forth wearing frilled caps and were given bottles of milk to keep them quiet through the programme, a fake cook fight was staged, and hWl O'Xelli instituted a kangaroo court and fined enough members to pay off the deficit on the entertainment. I A. Spangler, Fred Rasch and Tommy Swivel were named to co-operate with the Press Club in preparing the celebration of the Fourth of July, and President N. G. Pike was author ized to give $10 to a destitute family. These were the only bits of seriousness that were allowed to Intrude into the programme. There were a number of acts brought over from the various theaters of the city. Price of Lead Leads to Arrest.
