Mr.. ZIEGLER HURT.
Patron of Arctic Exploration Thrown
From His Carriage.

New York, Sept. 2S.-William Ziegler,
the we'll known capitalist and Arctic
exploration enthusiast, was quite ser
iouSly injured in runaway accident
last night at his summer home, Col
lenders Point, where he has just re-
turned from New York and was driving
home behind a spirited team when the
horses bolted at the gates of the estate.
Mr.. Ziegler, his coachman and a foot
man were thrown to the ground. Mr..
Ziegler fell under the team and was
badly trampled. He was carried into
the house, bleeding at the nose and
mouth. Three doctors were hurriedly
summoned and for time, it was fearA
ed the millionaire had suffered internal
injury. His condition this morning,
however, was reported to be somewhat
improved.
Darien. Conn, Sept. 2S.-Later, in
quiry at the home of Mr.. Zeigler,
brought out from a member of his
family a clearer explanation of the
mishap. The ooachman had turned the
horses into the gateway of the estate
while they were going at a consider
able speed The wheels cramped under
over, the three occupants being rolled
off on to the ground. The coachman
in a moment had the horses under con-
troll but not before Mr.. Zeigler had
been dragged a few feet. The family
physician has examined Mr.. Zeigler
and finds that no bones are broken,
although there are several contusions
and evidence of a bad shaking up.

NEGROS ARE ANGRY.
Ask Court to Take Action at Bonner
Springs Schools.

Bonner Springs, Kas., Sept. 2S.-The
negroes brought mandamus proceed
ings in the district court in Kansas
City Kas., against the school board
of Bonner Springs to compel it to
allow the negro children to attend the
same schools as the whites. The pro-
ceedings grew out of the trouble which.
has been going on between whites and
negroes in Bonner Springs ever since
September 12.
The proceedings were filed by 1. f.
Bradley, a negro attorney of Kansas
City, Kas., on behalf of forty negroes.
and name as defendants the school
board of Bonner Springs, which is also
known as school district No. % of
Wyandotte county. The petition al
leges that the negroes are the parents
of children who have passed the proper
school examinations to enter the vari-
Gus grades which by law they are
compelled to do. The petition further
says that the school board of Bonner
Springs has refused to let the chill
dren enter these grades, but has COM
PEELED them, or tried to compel them,
to go to school in two rooms where
two teachers taught cor were supposed
to teach" every grade. This, ii is
alleged, was a great damage to the
childFens education and placed them
a a great disa dvantage.
Judge Moore issued an alternative
writ commanding the board to appear
in the district court Saturday and show
cause why they had refused to admit
the negro children.
This is the first case of its kind ever
filed in Wyandotte county and will test
the educational law which, it is assert
ed, does not give cities below first class
the right to provide separate schools
for negro children.
The mandamus grows out of hot
race trouble which has been raging in
Bonner Springs, a town of 500 inhab-
itantS, fifteen miles west of Kansas
City, Kan, for the past month, over the
matter of separate schools for the white
and negro children. The school board
of the little city provided a separate
school with two negro teachers for the
100 negro children in the city. In prey
ious years these children have attended
the same schools " ith the white chill
dren. The negroes refused to attend the
school provided for them and the board
refused to allow them to attend the
other schools. The negroes say under
the Kansas law the board cannot place
them in a separate school. The board
says the law only provides they be
given the same courses of study as the
white children.
The board threatened to send for the
truancy officer of Wyandotte county to
compel the negroes to attend the sep
arate schools. The negroes then filed
the mandamuS proceedings,

NEW PENSION ORDER.
Commissioner Ware Declares 1t Is Not
So EXpenSiye.1

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Eugene F.
Ware, commissioner of pensions, says
that he cannot make an accurate esti-
mate of the cost of a service pension
system such as Judge Parker advocated
in his letter of acceptance. Said he:
Members of congress who favor the
service pension system have estimated
that the payments under that system
would aggregate about 40 million dol
lars annually. President RooSeveltS S
order simply anticipates by few
months or a few years what a veetran
could get, anyway, and the amounts
that are paid out by reason of it, al
though difficult to compute, are COM
paratively small especially in view of
the saving which it makes in admins
tration. 1 have called for $100, 900 less
for medical examinations than former
ly, reducing this charge 1212 per cent
because of the economics of a fixed
basis of estimate over the more vague
considerations which enter into the as
certainment of disability for earning
support by manual labor, of which the
statuta speaks. There is a saving to the
soldiers also of " million dollars year
for the same reason. Applicants do not
have to make trips to the examining
boards, which are sometimes 100 miles
away, when on age alone they can get
what, in the greater number of cases,
they could get in any event as the re-
suit of the examination.
"The size of the unknown army or
the union pensioned veterans of the
Civil war as an important point. / be-
lieve it was about 165 900, and of these
$4,000 have filed applications under this
order. These are original claims of
men who have never been penSioned.
There have already been filed 27 900 ap-
plicants for increases under the order
most of which are for an increase of

who might file applications for in

the number who have actually claimed
the increase was under per cent of
the number who already draw pensions

perience of the office and introduced no
new principles as to the disabilities of
the people of 81 years and more"
