row Escape

Chicago, April 1O.-A special to the
Chronicle from Grand Rapids. Mich,

the fireman, jumped for their lives. The
cabOose was reduced to splinters the
engine sent into the ditch and the Oc-
cupants of the presidents car badly
shaken up.
After viewing the wreck, President
Heald headed a procession for a two
mile walk to the station to catch the
regular train for Detroit, and to send

NO TRACE OF THE GOLD.
Police Believe the Missing Bars Are
Still Aboard the Steamer.

Paris, April 10.-Neither the Cher
bourg nor the Paris police have found
any trace of the missing gold bars or
of the thieves. They are confident that
the bars were not landed in France,
and think they are still aboard the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, and will be
found concealed in the hold at her ar
rival at Bremen.
The only suspicious incident on board
the steamer was a fight between two
members of the crew on the eve OF her
arrival at Cherbourg, during which both
men were stabbed with knives. A little
later the robbery was discovered. These
particulars have been telegraphed to
Bremen.

Plans for Meeting of Chiefs of Police
in New York.

New York, April. 10.-A meeting of the
Association of Chiefs of Police will be
held IN this city next month, and it is
probable that an effort will be made to
arrange a system by which photographs
and measurements of criminals will be
exchanged by the police officials of larger
cities. Captain Titus and Deputy Com
missioner Devery are both in favor of a
plan OF the kind 1t has been discussed
before and this time it is believed that
il will be adopted.
Captain Titus urges that the plan viii
establish a closer relationship between
the detective bureaus of the different
cities and will give the detectives a bet
ter opportunity to round up thieves from
out OF town who flock to big gatherings
here
terChange OF photographs and measure
ments of criminals between the detective
bureau of this city and Scotland Yard
This, Captain Titus thinks would be Z
great hep in catching thieves who oper-
ate on ocean steamships.

Open Bird Season.

So many inquiries have poured in
on State Game Warden Morse rela-
tive to the mixup on the game laws
passed by the last legislature that
he recently asked the attorney
general for construction of the law.
In his opinion Mr.. Oren holds that
section ten of the new law, which
relates to open season on quail and
partridge, is invalid, but that the
remainder of the bill stands. He
further holds that the section of the
law, passed two years .ago, relative
TO open season on birds, holds good
and sportsmen will therefore take
notice that the open season on birds
begins in the lower peninsula on
October Goth, the same date as last
year.
Attorney General Oren's opinion
to the effect that The quail section
of the new game law enacted by the
last legislature, is invalid, is based
on an error having been made in
preparing the bill for enrolment
The section of the old law which
provides that the open season for
quail shall commence October Goth
is still 10 force.

BOGUS MONEY.
Better Examine All Your Two
Dollar Bills Carefully.

Says Washington dispatch:
Chief Wilkie, of the secret service,
has received number of bank notes
printed from the original plates
used by the state bank Of New
Brunswick, N. j., over so years ago.
The bank went cut of existence
some time in the SOS and it was
supposed the steel plates were
destroyed. 1t seems that the plates
have fallen into the hands of parties
who have printed from them large
quantities of notes which have been
put into circulation from New York
to San Francisco.
A very large percentage of the
notes so far discovered are twos,
although some ones and fives are
being sent in. Inasmuch as the
notes are not countetfeits of any
United States note or obligation the
makers and passers cannot be pros
ecuted under the United States
laws, but it is said they can be
punished for fraud under the state
laws. 1t appears that the notes
readily pass along the Canadian
frontier, as the takers think they
are the notes of the Canadian prov
ince OF New Brunswick, the words
New Jersey" being printed in
small letters. The notes are printed
on bond paper and are quite as good
in every way as the originals.
1t is said possibly $2,000.000 Of
these notes are in circulation.

Lower Michigan Court Decides
Against the State Officials
In a Test Case.
1T INTERESTS LUMBERMEN
Trespass Agent Was Acting for
Land Commissioner Wildey in
Seizing Logs for Taxes.

At hearing before NJ. j. Connine
at AuSable, on a motion by the
state to dissolve an injunction re-
straining Land Commissioner Will
dey and State Trespass Agent Shien
from selling or taking possession of
800, 900 feet of hemlock logs belong
ing to the Pine River Lumber Co.
Judge Connine found that Trespass
Agent Shien was in contempt of
court and denied the motion of the
attorney general to dissolve the in
junction and gave absolute possess
sion of the logs to the Pine River
Lumber Co.
This decision is of great interest
to lumbermen generally, for the
reason that the courts have never
construed the authority of the land
commissioner and trespass agents
in regard to the met hod of pro-
cecdur in collecting for timber cut
upon land upon which there is de-
linquent taxes. Until quite recent
ly these collections have been made
by the sheriffs of the various coun-
ties upon warrants issued by the
auditor general.
Commissioner Wildey has held
that he and his trespass agents
could seize the timber without any
such warrants and completely con-
fiscate the timber so seized even if
the value of the timber amounted TO
many times the amount Of delin-
quent taxes. Hundreds of small
operators in northern Michigan
have during TIE past winter lost
most of their winters work on
account of having their timber thus
sold by trespass agents.
