GOV. RIcH's SENSATION.
Salaries of State Officers were not Raised
at Last Election as Supposed.

ht Last Election as supposed
Gov. Rich has created great sensa-
ton among the leading officials of the
state government by the discovery that
the salaries of several of these officials
were not increased at the last election
as was shown by the returns of the
state board of canvassers. 1t will be
remembered that in the last state
election there were four constitutional
amendments TO be voted upon. The
one relating TO salaries was as an
amendment to section l, article 9 of
the constitution of Michigan and pro-
vided for an increase in The salary of
the superintendent of public instruc-
ton from $1,000 to $4,000, that of the
secretary of the state from $500 to 49,
900 and that of the lieutenant-governo
from IS per day during the sessions of
the legislature TO 81, 200 per annum.
Il he state treasurer and the attorney
general were not mentioned in the
amendment, thus leaving their sala-
ries to be fixed by the legislature, which
was done, the treasurer's salary being
increased from 81, 600 to So, 900 and the
Encouragement from 81, 500 as fixed
by the constitutional amendment of
1880, to $4,000.
Gov. Rich, in explaining how he
made the discovery that the amend
ment had not carried, said that each
county clerk is required TO make dupli-
cate returns of the vote cast and send
one each to the secretary OF state, state
treasurer and governor. Recently hav-
ing occasion to examine the returns in
his office Gov. Rich found that they
had been borrowed some time ago by
a messenger from the state department.
Gov Rich Immediately demanded their
return but they coIld not be found
and it was only after n personal APP
peal TO the secretary of state that set
was procured, then being impelled by
curiosity as much as anything else the
governor had them tabulated and care
fully canvassed. This revealed the
fact that while the vote for officials
had been correctly counted by the state
board of canvassers the complete fig
ures for the constitutional amendment is
were nowhere near correct. The state
board of canvassers gave the vote on
the salaries amendment: Total, 49,
023; for, Ga, 422; against, GO, col; ajor-
ity, 1921. Gov Rich's canvass: Total,
1919, $50; for 59,2l7; against, 20, Z72; ma
jority against, II, 555.
Gov Rich, after conferences with
several state officials and members of
the board of canvassers, decided to APP
ply 70 the supreme court Tor manda-
mus directing state board OF canvassers
to re-convene and re-canyass the vote.
The mandamus was granted at once
and the board fully corroborated Gov.
Rich's figures.

DIED TO SAVE OTHERS.
Six Holland sailors Drowned While Trying
to Rescue the Crew of an American Ship

Six Holland sailors Drowned while Trying
to Rescue the Crew of an American ship
The steamship Amsterdam Dutch
from Rotterdam, arrived at New York
City. She mad a continuation of heavy
gales from all round the compass, with
tremendous high seas and very low
barometer. On January il, in a strong
northwest breeze and moderate nigh
sea, she sighted a schooner south,
showing an American union down and
at half-mast. The Amsterdam made
for the schooner, and saw that the sea
was washing constantly over her.
Only by hard pumping was she kept
afloat. She had crew of about ii
men.
The crew signalled the Amsterdam
that the vessel was in a sinking condi-
ton. The captain called his crew on
deck and told them the position in
which the schooner was. Immediately
the first officer and six of the Amster-
dams crew offered themselves to man
a boat and go to their rescue. Every
thing went all right until within the
vicinity OF the wreck, when a sudden
snow shower with squalls capsized the
boat, with the result that three of the
crew disappeared Immediately, and the
remaining four succeeded in taking
hold of the capsized boat. The captain
of the Amsterdam went at once to their
assistance and succeeded in getting
alongside, but the four men were
thoroughly exhausted by the cold and
were drowned with the exception of
one sailor. Another crew presented
themselves to man a second boat, but
owing to the increasing wind and sea
the captain objected and concluded to
wait for better weather and calm sea.
The Amsterdam kept in the vicinity of
the wreck until, in a heavy snow
squall, she lost sight of her, and she
undoubtedly went down.
Search was subsequently made, but
the Amsterdam was not able to find
any trace of the wreck and proceeded
on her voyage.

WOMAN srRnNoLED TO DEATH
Robbers Cruelty Choke and Bind Grand
Rapids Woman.

Mrs. Miles McKendrick, aged IS
years, wife of a laborer employed in
the G.. r. e. /. shops in South Grand
Rapids, was found garroted and dead
in her residence and her person robbed
of between 5000 and 500, which she
carried in the bosom of her dress.
John Quartet, called at the house to
deliver some groceries, and, as was his
custom, entered the side door; not re-
ceiving an answer to his calls he
stepped into the next room and discov-
cred the form of Mrs. McKendrick out
stretched on the floor. He gave the
alarm and officers soon arrived. 1t was
found she had been bound hand and
foot and that large and strong piece
of flannel cloth was wound tightly
around her mouth and chin and around
that was wound piece of strong pack
ing Irvine, which was drawn so taut
that it was nearly buried in her checks.
Her lower limbs had been tied together
at the ankles so tightly that the
thongs cut cruelty into her flesh and
her hands were tied at the wrists in
front of her by so strong hand that
the thongs were drawn TO their utmost
tension. The dead woman's dress had
been ripped open in front from the
neck to the waist, and her false teeth
were lying beside her on the floor.
Her features were horribly bloated.

Hanged the Professor in Enigr.

Certain students of Hillsdale college
have put climax To several weeks of
persecution of Professor A. C. Rideout
by hanging that gentleman in effigy to
the clock tower of the college. The
figure was allowed to remain there
some hours. For many years Rideout
has been at odds with the rest of the
faculty because he has persisted in oc-
cupying one of the college buildings.
He obtained funds for its erection, and
the supreme court ruled he had right
to stay there, but there has been an
effort to freeze him out.

Jesse Hart, one of the earliest set

lotte by hanging himself in his wood
shed. Mr.. Hart, having been in rather
poor health for a few years past, it is
