Mich., July 12.?The Oadillaqua festival, In celebration of the tilth anniversary of the founding of Detroit by Antolne de la Motte Cadillac, the French soldier of fortune, Van ushered In today, with the city gorgeously decorated and filled with visitors as never before in ber history. All that the rotwding out of two centuries of progress and development, of building and expansion, of growth in population and business, of goals gained and ambitions realised, of work perforated and pro pec ts completed, of Mf*1* attained and problems soiree, of things done means to a city is what Detroit will celebrate during the week beginning today. It was on July 24, 1701. that Cadillac arrived at the site of the future metropolis with fifty soldiers and fifty t Canadian traders and artisans, and established Fort Pontchartraln on the banks of the river. Two days later he laid the foundation stone Jm-i for St. Anne's church. In this church some two years later, Detroit's first white child, a daughter of Cadillac, l was baptised. The French called the new settlement "La VUle d'Etrolt." The population of the village was increased In 1740 by the arrival of half a hundred immigrants, who came In re ms pruci?m*llDn OI Uie |OVernor-general of Canada offering a subsidy to new settlers. Later there were more arrivals, including large parties of exiled Acadlane. In 1774 the first civil government : was provided bj the British for Detroit and the inrrounding territory. r>V ** the town etna into the poeseealon of the United States and was occupied by American troops. The town was Incorporated In 1802 and three years later it became .the seat of territorial government of Michigan The first paper printed in Detroit appeared in 1809. On August 14, 1812 General Hull surrendered Detroit to the British and they retained possession for a little more than a year. In 1818 the first steamboat arrived I Capt. Smith of the Is StPI BALTIMORE, Md.. July 22 ?The statement that Capt. E. J. Smith, com mander of the ill-fated Titanic, was not drowned, bnt was seen Satnrday morning in Baltimore, was made yesterday by a retired mariner, who claims to have neen a ship mate of Captain Smith for more than seven teen years. Peter Pryal, of 907 Valley Street, this city, Who was quartermaster on ' the steamship Majestic of the. White 8tar Line thirty years ago, when Captain Smith commanded the TesBel, made the statement and added that he had not only seen the captain, but talked with him. Pryal also said that he saw Captain Smith last Wednesday morning, but was skeptical as to his Identity, and to confirm his belief that the captaiq was alive went to the same spot' yesterday morning and again saw the captain. So shocked was Pryal at seeing the man he belle\gd dead that on his return home- he said he suffered a nervous breakdown. It was while on his way to the ofj flee of Dr. Martier Warfleld for treat1., ; J ment for ip Internal disorder last Wednesday that tie swears he first saw approaching him the commander of the Titanic. Attired in a neat fitting business suit of a light brown color, straw hat and tan shoes, the man carried two suit cases and was V. staring straight ahead. Mr. Pryal k? approaching him and spoke, but rej cetved no answer. |t The man seemed unconscious of his surroundings and oonttnned walktag rapidly wast out Baltimore street. ! . Thinking that he was mistaken Pryal retarded home and told his wife of the occurrenoe. She told her husband thnt bis imagination had gotten the better of blm.

There will be athletic events and amusements of every description. Notables from many cities of the United States and Canada have accepted Invitations to be guests of the City of Detroit One of the big features of the week's program will be a great historical pageant depicting the voyage of Cadillac and his landing In Detroit. More than 4,600 persons garbed In the dress of the period wllf first be seen resting in their camp along the 8t. Clair River. As Cadillac completes his voyage he will be met by a fleet of vessels. The fleet will be made up of several United States revenue cutters, six vessels of the naval __ reserves and many private yachts. ?

Without realizing what he was doing, Pryal followed the man. Sev- # eral times the latter turned and when he finally saw Pryal behind him. rush ed into the Calrert building and ac- b< cording to Mr. Pryal, endeavored to fo lose himself in the crowd. Pryal R was behind him, however, and fol- ni lowed him through to the Equitable M building saw him board a car. His pursuer boarded the same car ai and saw the man get off at Washing- W ton, Baltimore and Annapolis station, nc where he purchased a ticket for Wash ci ington. As he passed through the hi gates to board the car, he turned to i? Mr. Pryal smiled andlsald; "Be good, er shipmate, until we meet agaip." Pryal. when seen said .that ho did Si not expect to be. believed when he di told of the incident, and wltfar great *e earnestness said that he was willing th to swear to his statements. pi "There is no possibility of my being ^mistaken," he ' said. "I have so known Captain Smith for many years A' When he commanded the Majestic I to Was his quartermaster and the White m Star Line officials will vouch for this. A I entered their employ on the Republic, but was later transferred to the Mdjestic just after Captain Smith was raised to jthe rank of commander. 1 would know him even without hie of beard. . hi "After what I have seen, I firmly af believe that the Titanic's commander d< escaped a watery grave and was In ci some mysterious manner saved and a brought to this country. I have told fr Dr. War field of tka occurrence and be Si will testify as to the condition of my r brain, for I know that many will ai think I have gone insane." . ^ bi WASHINGTON, NORTH CAHO i Tpnighl and 1 ' ONE \utomohi1e ai Collide Sunn a eshe Mitchell Run Over and Considerably Bruised There came near being a eerlotn cldent at the corner of Second and arket Street* Sunday afternoon tien a bicycle ridden by Mr. Leslie ltchell collided with the automole owned by Mr. W.
