NEWKIRK Is CENsURED.
coasmtttee Report the soidwatsr
school koastin. the Board OF toatrot

school Roasting the Board OF tontroi
LASsISs, Mich. Feb. 2T.-foilowing
IS the tuh text OF the majority report
OF the House on the state Public school
at Coldwater:
''we believe the management OF the
internal affairs 10 be above criticism.
We lind there are in attendance At the
school about 200 waits ranging in age
from 10 IA years, OF whom about 50
per cent. are boys and l5 per cent. are
girls. That these children are we'll
housed. fed and clothed; that their
physical, mental, moral and spiritNsl
needs are we'll provided for. We hnd
that superintendent SewkIrk has had
charge of the school Tor about one year
and one half; and tAst 80 tar as the M
ternal affairs OF the school are con-
cerned, he has ever been watchful for
the best interests OF the children COM
mitted TO his care.
"But we find that not always has so
much care been shown IN finding suit
able homes for the children OF the
school. nor IN seeing that children sent
irCm the school were safely delivered
At their destination. In fact, we believe
from the evidence abduced that there
have been number of cases of gross
carelessness IN these respe cts; thatthere
have been violations of the expressed
provisions OF the law that before child
should be taken from the school and
placed III any home, the application or
the person desiring such child, duly en-
dorsed by the county agent, should be
filed with the superintendent of the
school. We find tnat in seven cases
during the administration of Superin-
tendeut Newklrk, and in twelve cases
during that of his predecessor, this APP
plication WAS not endorsed and filed.
"In all these cases we believe that the
superintendent and Board of Control
have been derellct III their duty and
upon theni-and in the case OF Nellie
Griffin upon County Agent Taylor
must rest the blame.
'In the Nellie Griffin case the Com
mittee believe that, had superintendent
Newkiik observed the plain require
ments of the law, in letter and in
spirit, Nellie Griffin would not have
met her awful fate, for the observance
of the law would have resulted IN show
ing the so-called Henderson, To be an
impostor. After candid consideration
OF the premises, this Committee be-
lieves that, for the negligent manage
ment of the affairs OF the State Public
School eliminating in the death of Mel
lie Griffin, the members of the Board of
Control IN office at the time OF the
event aforesaid, whose province it was
10 appoint and remove superinten-
dent, are justly deserving of censure,
and that the superintendent, for his
gross carelessness in the Nellie Griffin
case, be now removed from office.

LANSING, Mich, Feb. 21.-In the re-
port of yesterdays little "scrap" IN the

Press by its Senate reporter. Joseph +.
Greusel, and as published in that
paper this morning, the fact was men,
toned, as in other reports, that "Sena-
tor Doran sat down." when Senator
Stevens-who, by the way, is Cornish
wrsstler-yelled at him, "Sit down,
Doran!" Having read this statemen.
in his copy of the Free Press this morii-
ing, the Duke OF Kent strobe over to
the offending reporters desk, and
numbered out:
"What do you mean by misrepresent-
ing me that way? Are yuu kept here TO
write lies about the Senator's"
Much to his surprise Joe didn't trem-
ble but quietly replied: mo one can
hire me to lie. l am here to write the
truth"
''How would you, sir" asked his
Dukeship, with a frown like Jove's
when he hurls a thunder-bolt, "how
would you like to have the Grand Rapids
Democrat made the official organ of
the Democracy Of Mlchlgan?"
The stupcndousness of the PROPOSE
ton overwhelmed the young reporter
and he found no words befittlng the oc-
casion.
, Thinking he had made an impression
OH the reporter, his hlghness added, II
am thinking of calling a caucus of the
Democratic Senators, young man. to
consider the subject of having you ex-
pelI.d from the chamber, sir. But

cisco, showed the high merits of foxhounds
bred on the Pacific coast. One of the dogs
was bred by Ike Branham, the greatest
hunter with hounds California has ever
known, who died some time ago in San
Jose. Branham took the first members of
his pack with him across the plains
from Missouri in 1916. He settled in
Santa Clara county, whers he speedily
acquired fortune and gave full play to
his love of the hunt and chase. His pack
became as famous as his own proves, and
contained such splendid specimens as Eff,
Leonard and Old Dan.
Old Ike, as he was Familiarity known,
used to scour the hills and mountains in
search of deer, and invariably returned
with fine buck slung across his saddle
and the news that several more were hung
up in the hills. He distributed the game
among his friends and the poor OF San
Jose. He was dead shot with the long
rifle, which he preferred to the more mod
ern weapons.
When the old huntsman was buried his
pack of hounds followed the hearse as
chief mourners. His pack is cared for by
William Hennessey, Branham's business
partner.

RAILROADERs' FEDERATION.
Plans Being Matured to Merge Severa
Orders Into One.

Plans Being Matured to Merge Several
Orders Into One.
GALEsBURG, Ills, Oct. 13.-Grand Chief
Clark of the new Consolidated Order of
Railway Conductors is here in consultation
with the trainmen now in session in this
city. The matter under consideration is
the proposed federation of the various asso-
Citations of railway employees, and it is I'M
derstood this is in fair way to be accom-
plished. Clark was closeted for several
hours to-day with Grand Master Wilkinson,
Grand Secretary Sheean and Vice Grand
Master MorrlSsey. Last week Clark effected
the consolidation of the Order of Railway
Conductors and the Brotherhood of Rail
way Conductors, the name and officers of
the former to be retained. The ostensioe
object of his call on trainmen brotherhood
officials here was to perfect plan provid-
ing for closer relations, but the move
ment means much more than this.
The Brotherhood of Railway Conductors
was member of the supreme council of
the Order of Railway Employees. and the
absorption of the former by the latter de-
priveS the council of its members so tnat
now the council comprises only the Broth
erhoOd of Locomotive Firemen and the
Switchmen's union. 1t is declared to be
significant that Clark came here from Terre
Haute, where he had a conference with
Grand Master Sargent of the F1remens
bIOlucFuOuu. IL IS huONu ludl Sargent Is
friendly to the trainmen, and it is believed
that Clark and Sargent have had an under
standing in regard to the new federation.
The plan recommended by Clark will be
presented to the trainmen's convention,
and it Is asserted will be Endorsed. Train
men assert that in short time the supreme
council will be a thing of the past. and that
its place will be taken by new federation
of conservative railroad organizations. The
movement as thus far made up comprises
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
the Order of Railway Conductors, the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, the Or
der of Railway Telegraphers and the
Brotherhood of Station Men. This fedora
ton would represent 10000 members
Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers has not so far as learned
been asked to join in the movement.
