Glasgow, April mo further de-
tails are reported this morning as a
result of the appalling accident which
occurred at the International foot ball
match between England and Scotland,
Saturday afternoon, at Ibrox park,
when grandstand gave way.
The disaster resulted in the death Of
twenty-one persons and the injury Of
$50. Nearly 200 of the latter were so
seriously hurt that they were taken
to infirmaries for operations and treat
ment. A large proportion of the in
jured had limbs broken, bodies crush
ed and mangled and heads and faces
gashed. Several more deaths will un-
doubtedly result from the most critical
cases. The other injured are reported
to be progressing favorably.
The hospitals have been besieged by
friends and relatives of the victims of
the disaster and heart rendering scenes
were witnessed when the names of The
dead were posted outside the buildings.
After the stand fell the game was
permitted to proceed, to avert a gen.
eral panic. the impression being given
the people within the enclosure that
the accident was not so direful. The
incongruity of the yells of applause
mingled with the groans of the strug-
Cling sufferers will never be forgotten
by those who witnessed the scene nj
the rear of the terrace.

the Beal municipal local option law

league declares the new law is salts
factory for the following reasons:
'It transfers power to prohibit sa-
looms from the council to the people.
1t strengthens the weak points in or
dinances that might have been passed
by councilmen under the present coun-
Gil option law by dealing directly with
the selling, furnishing and giving away
of intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes.
An ordinance prohibited only the
place where it was sold; evasions by
selling on the street, giving away and
furnishing were made easy. 1t ef-
fectually reaches the beer wagons or
saloons on wheels, which successfully
evadcd prohibitory ordinances.

''The Dow law is amended so that
regulative ordinances may be passed

ing the selling. furnishing and giving
away of intoxicating liquors as bev-
erage. The ordinances which they had
authority to pass were ineffective. The
new law increases the money fine and
does away with the jury trial for the
first offense.

a uniform law for municipalities that

The affidavit for the arrest Of violators
is made simple and clear by special
provision under the new law.
Under the ordinance it was techni-
cal and very difficult thing to draw,
and very many of the affidavits pre-
pared by the mayors were declared in
sufficient before the case was conclud-
ed and the officer was discouraged
with this kind .of litigation. 1t is the
first statewide grip, from a legal
standpoint that we have been able to
get on the liquor traffic in municipal

CRIES OF PAIN ANOTHER LINE.
From the Great Lakes to
WheeIinu

The work is progressing rapidly on
the extension of the Lake Erie, Alli-
ance and Wheeling to the Jefferson
county coal fields, according to the lat
est reports. 1t is expected that trains
will be running into Dillonvale by
early summer. At that point the road
will make direct connections with the
Wheeling and Lake Erie. about Is
miles from Wheeling, and trains from
Phalanx to Wheeling will be possi-
bility by new route. The road also
has an outlet to the Wheeling at Mi
nerva, and has become an important
feeder for it.
An interesting possibility has arisen
which is stirring some Of the estab-
se-called independent steel producing
concerns in the valleys, have been
thinking of building line of their
own to the lakes to insure a better
movement of their ore and coal, and al
so more connections upon which they
could depend for quick shipment of the
finished product They have also
counted this as possibility of getting
better rates than when they are COM
PEELED to depend upon one or two lines.
In the interest of the same movement
a belt line has been proposed for the
city of Youngstown. Now it Is said
that some negotiations are looming up
between the j.. E., A. G. W. and the
youngstown steel producing concerns
by which the road gains an entrance
to these Independent industries. This
would afford an invaluable feeder for
the new line, assuring it other business
as we'll as coal. and also giving it a
market for the coal owned by the cap
italists who are behind the road.

RESUSCICATING
AN OLD BOARD
Governor Nash to Re-estabiish
State Forestry Bureau--The
State Law Still in Force.
Qrrom a Stan Correspondent

(frOm u StaH COrreSpOnOent.D
Columbus, April 7.-Governor Nash
is taking steps to rehabilitate the state
forestry bureau, which was created by
an act of the legislature a number of
years ago for the purpose of prevent
ing the extinction of the forests of the
state. The operations of the board
were confined to brief period for the
reason that the necessary appropria-
tions for tlfe work were not made by
the legislature.
The bureau was created in 1885 and
is composed of three members, who are
vested with authority to investigate
the conditions of forestry in the state
and to recommend legislation to pre-
vent it's extinction. Examination of
the records, Saturday, disclosed that
three members had been appointed in
1899, and that the terms of two had not
yet expired. The members who were
appointed at that time were Hon. j. A.
Beider, of Cleveland; Rev. James
Poindexter. of Columbus, and DR.. Dan.
Millikin, of Hamilton.
The term of the last named member
expired about a year ago. and the va
cancy was overlooked at the time. AS
the law establishing the board has net
been repealed, Governor Nash will
take up the matter of placing the bu-
reau on working basis again and will
doubtless appoint new members.

Men Caught In Act.

Columbus. April 1.-Two fires of in
cendiary origin destroyed $4,000 In
lumber in the West Side yards Sunday
evening and the police have three men
under arrest who they think know
something about the crime.
The first alarm was turned from the
lumber yards of Smith & Sewers. After
hard fght, the firemen extinguished
the blaze with loss of about $25, 600.
Another alarm called the companies
to the lumber yards Of Cones & Meni-
fee, about block west on Broad street
from the first fire. This was an ugly
fire to fight and damage to the extent
of $4,000 was done before it was out
While the second fire was in pro-
gress Col. E. A. Bingham, president
of the Rock Plaster company. was In
the Office Just in the rear Of another

tigate. and found man attempting to
touch match to bundle of oil soak

Exclusion Bill Comes
Up This Week.
DISCUSSION
Is Antic pated in the Senate
Philippine Tariff Meas
ure Will be Tack
led Next.

Washington, April THE expecta-
ton of the friends of the Chinese ex-
clusion bill is that its consideration
by the senate will be concluded by the
middle of the present week IL not be-
fore. The Philippine government bill
will be taken up Immediately after
wards. This bill probably will occupy
attention for considerable longer
time than has any measure since the
Philippine tariff bill was passed, and
the Democratic members of the COM
mittee on the Philippines are now very
industriously engaged in preparing
for the debate.
ARE NOT SANGUINE.
They do not profess to be able to
defeat the measure, but they say they
will make a strenuous effort to secure
material amendments. They object to
various features of the bill, and will
charge that its primary purpose is to
permit the granting of franchises.
They also will take exception to the
unqualified continuance of the admin
istration of the affairs of the archi-
pelagO without making any provision
looking TO any form of self-government
for the Philippine people. Other
points of controversy will be the dispo-
sition of the friars' lands and of the
public lands. Strangely enough, in
view of the recent controversies, the
currency provision for the present at
least seems to be the one feature on
which there is harmony among all
factions.
LODGE IN CHARGE.
Senator Lodge, as chairman of the
Philippine commission, will have
charge of the bill. but will make no
preliminary explanation of it's proyi-
sions. He will seek to have the senate
proceed Immediately to the consldera-
tion of the details OF the measure. At
least all the early speeches on the bill
will be made by members of the mi
nority of the committee, but which of
them will lead off has not yet been de-
cided. All of them are preparing set
speeches and expect the assistance Of
other Democratic senator's in the gen.
eral debate. They count upon devot-
ing two or three weeks to the bill.

anti-Spalding crowd left the room and the
remaining clubs elected Spalding president.
Spalding presided at the last session on
Saturday and unfinished business was &C

K
The time is rapidly drawing nearer when
something will have to be done II the Ma
tional League war is to end in a compro-
mise or victory for one or the other fac
tons. AS far as outside conditions are con-
cerned II seems az If the two sides are
resting on their oars and gradually drift
ing along regardless OF the tide Of public
sentiment. The public wants the matter to
end as soon az possible. Everybody is tired
of the whole business. The American
League is rapidly improving Its already
strong conditions and what few people
were not with Johnson's organization after
the National League war became public
property, have changed their sentiments
and are now supporters of the American.
The National must do something. 1t would
be wiser to compromise in some manner
than TO cut the cash deeper and allow what
little life remains in the once grand or
ganization TO die out. The National League
fire is as weak as natural gas In lndlan-
apOlis during the cold weather-both need
more fuel. 1t seems as If the public Will
have to wait for the final action OF the
court. The amended demurrer filed by at
IOTneyS Tor A. III. SpdlOluS compromises
the matter more than il unravels It In the
document are twenty-five or more PROPOSE
tions to argue, which are intended to set
forth principally the fact that the New
York court has no Jurisdiction, In that all
Of the National League clubs are foreign
corporations; that the action was not
brought against the proper parties and that
the whole suit, for that matter, was I'M
properly instituted and should, therefore,
be thrown out Of court. 1t is surmised that
the point made about the courts Jurisdic-
ton will be the most important one TO come
up for The New York, Brooklyn
and P%ittsburg clubs are Incorporated under
the laws of the State of New Jersey, while
the Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, st.
Louis and Cincinnati clubs are governed
by the laws OF the States In which they
are located. The National League itself Is
not Incorporated, but is merely a volun-
tary business partnership. On that ground
and also because not one OF the League
clubs comes under the jurisdiction of the
laws of the State OF New York IL is held,
so report has II, that the United States
Court, and not the Supreme Court Of New
York county. is the proper and legal place
TO try the case in point. 1t is further
argued that when the present injunction
proceedings were brought against Spalding
the applicant for the restraining order
should have been N. Z. Young, instead Of
Boston, New York, st. Louis and the Gin
cinnati clubs, and that failure to serve the
