Columbus. o., April 1o.-The Legis-
lature went to work again Monday
afternoon at $50 and for two hours
hammered away" at the business of
lawmaking as though their lives de-
pended upon it. The members were
late in arriving, most of them having
made arrangements ut their homes to
remain in Columbus until the close of
the session which looks now, may be
in April There is a possibility how
ever, that the session will continue
week in May.
Some of the members could not
withstand the temptation TO introduce
bills and quite number went into
the hopper. The total number of bills
introduced in the House to date is
1919. There are about 800 in the SEN
ate, making a grand total larger than
has been introduced in one General
Assembly for many years.
The Senate employed most of the
time in hearing messages read from
the House of Representatives. These
consisted of bills that had been passed
and the formalIfenuest for the con-
currence of the Senate. Each bill
was referred to Il committee and now
the Senate committees will have to
get to work like so many Trojans.
In the House a number of petitions
were received aild referred to the
proper committees. All the bills which
were introduced were advanced at
once toa second reading and the work
went on. There were IL number of
bills and resolutions on the calendar
for their second reading, and these
were disposed of and then Il number
Of messages from the Senate were
received.
The bills introduced in the House
were the follOwing: Requiring that
manuscripts filed by teachers taking
county examinations be filed by the
examiners with the County Auditor
for public Inspections; to prevent en-
ployers from discriminating against
any applicant for employment because
of age; to compel base ball managers
TO provide seats with coverings, thus
dispensing with "bleachers;" TO pro-
vide that railway companies operating
200 miles or less in Ohio, where buffet
or dining ears furnish maltous or
vinous liquors, pay IN annual tax of

With his hat drawn tightly over his

tell the new arrival to come forth for

Four Big Buildings at Detroit Collapsed
Sunday n ght When There Was Not

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 20.-Four
buildings, each four stories high, To-

district of this city, collapsed at $3.50
o'clock last night without any APP
parent cause and all that now re-
mains is a smoldering heap of ruins.
It was fortunate that the wreck oc-
CURED Sunday night. Had it hap
pened during business hours the loss
of life would have been appalling,
as there were approximately 200 per-
SONS employed by the various firms.
They would have been caught in a
veritable death trap and crushed and
burned before they could have been
rescued. The buildings collapsed in
to heap and in short space of
time the infiammable material caught
fire from the furnaces used for heat
ing the buildings. There were no
watchmen about the premises, conse-
quently there will be no loss of life.
No one was injured nor is there any
one who can give a definite reason
for the catastrophe.

ROOT WOULD BUY THEM.
lie Says Uncle Sam Should Take the Frias
Lands in PhfIIppfnes-and Remove
Cause of Discomfort.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Secretary
Root was heard on the question of
the Friar lands in the Philippines be-
fore the house committee on insular
affairs Friday. He said these land
holdings constituted one of the chief
causes of discomfort among the peo-
pie; they were the hotbeds of insur-
rection and had furnished Aguinaldo
his chief appeal to popular prejudice.
The secretary said the religious Or
ders SO fully recognized the bad con-
iition of affairs that they were dis
posed to sell out and he urged that
the government take advantage of the
opportunity to remove the chief
causes of discomfort in the islands.
lie did not believe condemnation pro-
:eedings would be necessary as there
we're indications that a fair price
could be agreed upon. A rough esti-
mate of the value of the lands, he
said, was from $4,000, 900 to 800, 900,
American money.

PARADOXICAL, BUT CORRECT.
Rapid Growth of Cities in the North Is
Balanced by Increase In Small
Towns in the South.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-The director
of the census Saturday gave out a
statement regarding the growth of
urban population north and south,
which shows the following facts:
The large cities, taken collectively,
are growing nearly twice as rapidly
as the rest of the country; the per
cent. of the population of northern
states living in large cities in nearly
three times as great as the CORE
spending per cent. in the south; the
North has rate of increase no greater
than that of the south. The large
cities in the north are growing faster
than those of the same size in the
south, but this difference is bal
anced by an extremely rapid growth
of small town and cities in the south
and especially by the high rate of
increase of southern rural popula-
ton. The statement says these re-
suits seem paradoxical but are cor
rect.

HUNDREDS ARE DEAD
Earthquake Works Terrible Havoc
in a Mexican City.
Loss of Life Was Greatest In a Parish
Church. Where Roofs and Walls Turn
b.ed Down on Assembled
Worshipers.

Mexico City, Jan. 1S.-One Of the
most terrible catastrophes in the
history of the state of Guerrero is
reported to have occurred late Thurs
lay afternoon, when an extremely
violent earthquake shock was felt at
Chilpancingo, causing a great loss OF
life and injuring many persons. De-
tails from the stricken district are
very meager, but scattering reports
received here indicate that probably
300 persons were killed and as many
more injured. It is known that the
state capitol, the parish church and
many business houses and residences
are in ruins and that there is much
suffering as a result of the awful
seismic disturbance. One of the edi-
ices that suffered most was the fed
,ral telegraph office, which explains
The paucity of news that has so far
coached this city. The telegraph
ines and apparatus at Chilpancingo
we're badly damaged, but the en-
oloYes, all of whom were uninjured,
quickly proceeded to erect an impro-
Used telegraph office on the outskirts
Of the city.
The number of deaths was greater
in the parish church than in any sim
gle place, as a crowd of worshipers
was gathered there for the afternoon
service. The solid masonry walls and
the roof came topping on the wor-
Slippers and many of those within
were killed.
The war department has ordered
troops in the neighborhood to CO.
operate in the work of rescue. Until
this work is completed it will be i'm
possible to accurately learn the num-
Der of victims. The greater part Of
the population of Chilpancingo are
now camping out under tents around
the town, which is five days journey
from the national capital.
Earthquake shocks were felt in
many other cities and towns. In
Mexico City the earthquake occurred
at 5:17 o'clock Thursday afternoon
and was of such violence as to shake
the most substantial buildings. The
Pan-American congress was in ses-
sion at the time and many of the
delegates were greatly alarmed.

President Roosevelt Restores to the Chi

at Tien-Ts N During the Invasion.

Washington, Jan. 19.-President
Roosevelt has taken the first step in
restoring to China the property be-
longing to her seized by the United
States. He directed Secretary Long
to deliver to the state department for
transmission to WI Tingfang, the
Chinese minister, the sum of $375,0OO.
This amount represents the value of
the silver bullion seized in the yamen
at Tien Tsin by United States ma
rines. The silver was found by Amer
lean marines Immediately after the
capture of the city. 1t was appraised
by a board of officers, and sold, and
the proceeds were transmitted to this
country and deposited in the treas
ury by Secretary Long.

SORROW FOR THE INDIAN.
Commissioner Jones DEGREES That Poor
Lo Must Wear Short Hair and
Cease to Pa MT.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The passing
of the Indian has been decreed by the
secretary of the interior. The red
man will cease to wear his hair long,
paint his face and enliven the journey
to the happy hunting ground with
sacred dances. Indian Commissioner
Jones sent to the agents in charge of
Indian reservations throughout the
country an order, which, in substance,
is as follows: The wearing of long
hair by the male population of your
agency is not in keeping with the
advancement they are making, or will
soon be expected to make in civiliza-
ton. The wearing of short hair by
the males will be great step in adj
vance, and will certainly hasten their
progress toward civilization. Paint
ing of the face is also a relic of bar
barsm and must be stopped.
