Ruth Henderson, not quite years
old, lay down in an excavation be-
tween the street car rails at Myrtle
street and Wabash avenue, Detroit.
and when the first car came along she
raised her head in time to be decapi-

in the hole as she had seen the boys
do, and the motorman did not see her
She lay close 10 the ground, crouch

excavation. The roar Of the big car
as it approached frightened her, and
she raised her head when it was a
few feet away, the horrible accident

Harry Parker and Harry Johnson,
the two men charged with the murder
of Joseph Meyer, the Detroit pawn
broker, were taken into the recorders
court Saturday morning and arraigned
on a charge of murder, to which both
pleaded mot guilty" Both men deny
having made a confession of the muir
der to the police and Parker puts on
a defiant air and seems to delight in
the public gaze. His air of braga-
docio is almost disgusting. There was
some pickering over the appointment
by the court of an attorney TO defend
the men, but the selection of Thomas
O'Hara resulted. While Johnson is
phlegmatic, Parker plays to the grand
stand at every opportunity.

Laughingly he returned to his cell

the case will be to fix a day for the
trial.

CAMP WARNER.
MICHIGAN MILITIA NOW ON LuD-
INGToN HEIGHTS.

A heavy rain furnished reminders
of real army life to the soldiers of
the Michigan national guard. their
first night in camp. Nearly 5000 men
had arrived by shutdown. Wednesday
the tents were all pitched and the
routine OF the ten days of the en-
campment is begun. Ii is the second
annual encampment at Ludington
Heights on the S00-acre farm over
looking Lake Michigan and adjoining
the Epworth Leagues reservation.
The appointments OF the camp and
arrangements for handling f,ld caring
for the troops are fine. Both officers
and men are delighted with the ex-
cellent appointments and declare
Camp Warner the best the troops
have ever had.
Gov. Warmers first official visit to
the camp of the Michigan soldier boys
was the first event of the 1905 en-
campment TO detract from the hard
work the boys have had. The gov
ernor bestrode his horse like a troop
er and when escorted to camp by
Col. Limos cavalry and the brigade
staff was a conspicuous figure in citi-
zen's clothes amidst sea of gold lace
and cavalry uniforms.

he might assume the secretaryship of

The conference involved the practical

road to the Chinese government. j.

The question is said to be assuming
an important international phase. The
president himself is authority for the
statement that the conference related
practically entirely TO the affairs of
the Hankow railroad. incidentally,
and as relating in a measure TO the
railroad interests held by Americans
in China, the pending peace negotia-

HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter TO the hus
band or father who is solcitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an UNI
expected thing and can be corrected
if taken in time and properly treated.
A man in Colorado writes:

THE PHILIPPINES.
SECRETARY TAFT TELLS THE
FIllPlNOS THE u. S. POLICY.

Secretary Taft outlined the Philip
pine policy OF the administration at a
dinner rendered by Manila Filipinos.
There has been much unrest In the
Islands OF late owing 10 fear that the
Mckinley policy was being deviated
from. Secretary Taft assured his au-
ditors that the great majority of
Americans, whose exponent President
Roosevelt is, believe that II is the
duty OF the United States to prepare
the Filipinos for self-government. This
VIII require a generation and probably
longer. The president desires me to
say to the Filipinos that he feels
charged with the duty of maintaining
the sovereignty OF the United States
here as an instrument of the gradual
education and elevation of the whole
Filipino people to self-governing
community"
The secretary affirmed that a popu-
lar assembly would be formed, If no
insurrection existed, in April 1907.
The administration policy, he said,
was the Philippines for the Filipinos.
IL the American officers were not in
sympathy with this policy and with
the natives they would be recalled.

them with dynamite. The three-An-

Another One Goino.

The inquiry into the bureau of ami
NAL industry is now in the hands of
the secret service agents and no doubt
is expressed that their report to Secre-
tary Wilson will be followed by the
retirement of DR.. ID. z. Salmon, the
chief of the bureau. The disclosures
in connection with the meat tags and
the manifest inefficiency of the meat
inspection service will undoubtedly re-
suit in the separation of Dr. Salmon
from the department of agriculture.
