NO BLIND TIGERS WERE DISCOVERED

ditions are satisfactory, and the institution has the appearance of being well kept. - There being nothing further for thj grand Jury to do, it; requests that this report be. approved and that it be discharged from further service. A. W. Bradbury, foreman.

But Grand Jury Found that the Jail1 Needed, a' New Cement Flooring. i t ; -j ....... . ; The grand Jury, which reported on Tuesday afternoon, returning. ten indictment and recommending tho construction of a cement floor in the basement in the county jail, providing it is not too expensive, cost Wayne county about $150. The Jury was in session six days, its expenses including the per diem, mileage of the members, bailiff's and reporter's per diem and other Incidental expenses. The fact the jury did not return any indictments for violations of the liquor or gambling laws, although for such a purpose It was primarily called, was no surprise to any of the

county officials. No Blind Tigers Found. There were many residents from idifferent small towns who were questioned about alleged violations of this eort, but they knew of none, and coni sequently the Jury could not return indictments. Much Interest Is taken in the six indictments which were not made publlc, and will not be until the arrests are made. It is said that some of the

indictments are for violations of the seining laws. The four indictments which were made public Include Earl Dubois, burglary; John Bailey, forg

ery; Marry Ralston, alias Frazier, (Criminal assault: and Nick Rosa, now (in New York City, assault and battery .with intent to murder Bert Miller. The Jury's report in regard to the inspection of the county institutions was commended by Judge Fox, who I also declared that the jury had hus- ! tied Its business through more rapf Idly than any other similar body which has been In session for several f years. The report is as follows: ' Grand Jury's Report. To the Honorable Henry C. Fox. Judge of the Wayne circuit court: Grand Jury, duly impanelled for the April term, 1911, of this court respectfully report that it was in session a total of six days, beginning on the eleventh day of September, 1911, and concluding on the nineteenth day of September, 1911; during said sessions it investigated a large number of cases which came before it and examined about sixty-two witnesses and found the Indictments herewith returned into this court. Said grand Jury further reports that it visited and examined the condition of the Home for the Friendless in the city of Richmond, county Jail In said city and the county infirmary in said county. It found the sanitary conditions in all of these institutions as good as possible under the present physical conditions of these institutions. At the county Jail it found two insane persons confined, fifteen prisoners serving out the penalties adJudged against them and four prisoners awaiting trial. It found the heating plant at the Jail in good condition Wid the waterclosets, cells and beds ' ctaan and well kept. TJie grand Jury recommends that a cement floor be constructed in the (basement of the jail, provided that it lean be done without too much expense fin the readjustment of the water pipes, bo they -will be easily accessible in lease of a break. ; At the county infirmary it found the i conditions most excellent.

MOTHER BELIEVES SOU All IMPOSTOR Ex-convict, Mourned as Dead for 13 Years, Not Recognized by Parent.

BASEBALL NOTES Tom (Buck) O'Brien, the Denver pitcher, is making good with the Boston Red Sox. Ty Cobb is still the leading hitter, run-getter and base stealer in the major leagues. Joe Tinker, of the Cubs, will open his vaudeville season at Spokane, Washington,- on November 5. Clarence Owens, the best umpire in the American Association, will work in the National league next season. The American league has 30 men hitting for .300 or better, and the National league has seventeen in the select list.

There ars almost as many newspaper men on the western trip with the

Giants as there are ball players on the

team.

Manager .McGraw is confident that!

Mathewon and .Marquard will bring home the bacon if the Giants and the

Athletics meet in the world's series.

Pitcher Wolfgang of the Lowell New England league champions, won .27 out

of 32 games pitched this season. He has been signed by the St. Louis Am

ericans. "Germany" Schaefer is spoken of as the next manager of the Washington team. Schaefer has played great ball at first base for the Nationals this season. Vean Gregg, of the Cleveland Naps, continues to hold his own and will no doubt finish the season at the top ot the list of winning pitchers in the American league. The Texas league race was a corker this season. Austin won the pennant with a percentage of .575 and Oklahoma City finished seventh with a percentage of .480. Last year Danville won the Virginia league uennant and Petersburg finished last. This season conditions are reversed, with Petersburg at the top and Danville in the cellar. Only the difference of one game lost separated Springfield and Bridgeport at the close of the Connecticut league season. Springfield landed the muslin, with Bridgeport second. The Louisville team will make a

great barnstorming trip this fall. Af

ter playing in Philadelphia, New York and Brooklyn, the Colonels will leave for the Pacific coast, where they play ten games before leaving for Japan.

N1LES, Mich., September 20 George Alfred Kimmel, . believed by relatives to have been dead for 13 years, arrived at his old home here from the penitentiary at Auburn, N. Y., late today, and was identified by dozens of former friends and associates. Among those who identified Kimmel was his cousin, Mrs. Harry L. Fox, who opened her home to the wanderer and held a celebration of his strange return. Despite Kimmel's identification, however, and his acceptance by other relatives, his mother, Mrs. Stella Kimmel, refused to see him tonight. She remained in 'seclusion at the home of a friend while scores of Kimmel's old companions sought him out at the'Fox residence and greeted him warmly. The mother continued to denounce Kimmel as an impostor, who was at

tempting to deprive her of $25,000 insurance whioh she held on her son's life. Kimmel's arrival was dramatic. He was accompanied from Auburn by Harry L. Fox and two other old associates from Niles, who had telegraphed from the East that they were sure of Kimmel's identity. , Greeted By Scores. As Kimmel stepped from the train scores attempted to talk with him, but his friends hurried him into a waiting carriage and drove him to the Fox home to see his cousin. Here he was met by F. M. Cook and Richard Dougan, two of the men who had known Kimmel best in the old days. Both said they were entirely satisfied that Kimmel was not an impostor. "Let me see your left wrist," Dugan said to Kimmel. "Yes, the old scar is there," continued Dugan as he made a minute examination of Kimmel's arm, "but I

don't need that verification to know that this man is our George Kimmel and no other." "I know it is George!" exclaimed Mrs. Fox. "I am as certain of that

as I can" be or anything. ' I wouldn't have him here unless I were sure." Ten minutes after Kimmel' had arrived at the-Fox residence neighbors went in search ofth mother to tell her of the identification of the man who claimed to be her son. But Mrs. Kimmel refused to go to the Fox home, and continued to reiterate her belief that the man at her niece's residence was an impostor. ' After the first flurry of his; arrival and identification had passed kimmel gave a detailed account of his wan

derings since he disappeared from Arkansas City, Kansas, in 1S98. "As you all remember," said Kimmel, "1 left ray home here in Niles in 1898 to go into business at Arkansas City, Kansas. I went to St. Louis from Arkansas City that same year on a business trip. While in St. Louis at that time I was slugged by holdup men, and for a long time my memory was bad. Lost His Memory. "For several years it was with the greatest difficulty that 1 remembered anything. Things came back to me piecemeal, and try as hard as I could 1 could not remember things in any sort of connected way. "I must have wandered much while in this condition, and eventually brought up in New York. I have little to say about the trouble I got into there, which resulted in my being sent to prison. But I was not responsible

at that time, and do not think 1 should be judged for that. I feel better now than I have at any time since leaving Niles 13 years ago. "But I cannot understand why my

mother does not want to see me. She always treated me well, dressed me in the best of clothing:, when t wa,s a boy, and sent methrough high school. I still hold the greatest love for her and nothing would be a greater boon than to go back home after all these years of trouble and suffering. Maybe she will change her mind tomorrow. I know it is a shock to her." Seven years after Kimmel's disappearance, in 1898, his mother instituted suit in the St. Louis Courts to secure the insurance which she held on his life. A jury returned a verdict in her favor, and declared Kimmel to be legally dead. Upon this verdict ons company paid Mrs. Kimmel on a 55,000 policy. Another company which carried a $20,000 policy on Kimmel. however, fought the claim and carried the matter to higher Courts. Mean-

I while, this company directed a coun-ftrv-wide search for Kimmel. and final

ly announced to the Court that Kimmel was at Auburn. Upon this discovery the company informed Kimmel's relatives that no payment would be made on the $20,000 policy. Mrs. Kimmel, however, said that she held no confidence in the discovery made by the insurance company, and declared that the whole matter was a conspiracy to defraud her of the money. George Kimmel said tonight that his plans for the immediate future depended upon the attitude of his mother and sister. Meanwhile, he will remain as a guest at the Fox home.
