LANSING, Mich., Juno 4. Eastern standard time, recently adopted by j-evoral cities In Michigan. got a black eye from Atty. Gen. Fellows when he ruled that u. -municipality can change time !or its own local purposes, but canned tamper with an hour tixed by act of the Michigan legislature, which has made central standard time the legal time for Michigan. in effect, the ruling means that legally specified working hours in factories, the hours affecting negotiable instruments in banks, the hours for holding elections, opening and closing saloons and for regulating courts and all departments controlled by state law, must be fixed according to central, not eastern time. It virtually revorsoH the orders of Police Commissioner Gillespie as to the midnight

.closing of saloons, and when election jtime comes, necessitates reversion to 'central time periods for opening and

closing the polls. The attorney general's opinion was given for Labor Commissioner James V. Cunningham, who wanted to know what time he should use in Detroit in enforcing labor laws in which certain hours are specified. The answer unequivocally is central standard time. The ruling is Hat. Where a state law mentions hours, no matter in what state department central standard time, as fixed by the act of the legislature of Is 85, is meant. Nothing else can be used unless the legislature should change that law of Furthermore, the attorney general holds that no municipality has the right by ordinance to change time and apply that change to any state law where the original time is mentioned.

DIES OF PNEUMONIA Child Which Had lYog in Stomach Succumbs to Disease.

0(SHI-:. Ind.. June 4. The 1S-months-old child of Mrs. Harry Wolf, of Chicago, is dead, following an operation which disclosed conditions that many surgeons had declared to be impossible. While visiting her parents in Kosciuszko county last summer, .Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink hydrant water. Within a short time the infant became sickly and lost tlesh. Treatment for indigestion was given, but it did not reach the seat of the trouble. Then an X-ray examination disclosed a black spot on the stomach, and an operation resulted in a frog weighing more than half a pound being taken from the infant. Doctors who operated said thev believed that when the child drank hydrant water at Syracuse a tadpole was taken into the stomach, and that the frog developed and lived on milk, which was given tho patient in large quantities. Following the operation the child improved rapidly and complete recovery was practically assured, when pneumonia developed, causing death.
