TABLET UNVEILED.
Commemorafing the First Permanent
settlement OF Ohio.

Marietta, o, Oct ia tablet COM
memorating the first permanent settle
ment in the old Northwest territory
was unveiled here today on the college
distinguished gathering of prominent
citizens from all parts of the country
Whitelaw Reid is the president of the
Ohio company, which although OTganiz-
1892 and the present memorial was
prepared under the auspices of that So
ciety and unveiled by Mrs. Nicholas
LongWorth daughter Of President
Roosevelt. Governor Andrew L. Har-
ris and Vice President c. W. Fairbanks
spoke and the historical address on the
occasion was by Prof. Albert Bushnell
Hart of Harvard university.
Prof Hart brought out in his ad-
dress the influence of the west upon
the east and incidentally the influence
of New England upon the western
states. His paper was largely histori-
cal, containing many comparisons of
Ohio and New England conditions.
1T was the success of the western
common schools, he said, however
crude or imperfectly organized which
probably stimulated the eastern states
so that so years from the founding Of
Ohio every northern state had general
public schools. It was the west which
first recognized the possibility of col
lege education for girls
Prof Hart held that the great con-
tribution of the west to American gov
ernment was in the extension of the
suffrage which sprang from the desire
to stimulate immigration.
This fame of popular government
swept backward across the mountains
and within 40 yards Of the planting Of
Ohio, had practically overrun every
New England state The speaker ad-
ded:
.'The influence of the universal sur
frage has been diminished, first by the
widespread disposition to exclude Il
- -l+ -
seond, from the neutralizing influence
from masses of voters, casting their
ballots as directed by employers, or by
political machines but there is less like
lihood of any serious diminution of
this privilege in other part of the coun-
try"

amended claim on behalf of the state
of Kansas for the 100000 bond Of the
First National bank, which was signed
by Mr. Devlin The amended claim
sets forth that the debt to the state
of Kansas should be preferred to the
ordinary debts of the Devlin estate.
General Coleman said in speaking of
the matter IF the First National
bank should pay out in full, of course
this amended claim would be unneces-
sary, for we would have all that is due
US. But suppose the bank should pay
all but per cent, the state would still
have $4,000 coming to it. For that
reason. l have decided to file this
amended claim. to put the state IN the
best possible shape to get all the money
that it had on deposit with the bank =
The referee In bankruptcy, Mr..
LOOMS, has not yet declared any div1-
dend on the Devlin debts, but there are
valuable properties which will make
such a dividend certain. If the claim
of the state to preference as q creditor
is allowed, it will practically assure the
recovery of all the money lost in the
bank wreckS
The following is the application for
the amendment which was filed today
by Mr.. Coleman:
&C. c. Coleman the attorney general
of the state of Kansas, being body
corporate and polite under the laws
of the state. says that he is duly au-
thorized to make this proof, and says
that heretofore and on Oct. 10, 1905,
the original claim of the said state of
Kansas was presented to the referee
in bankruptcy in the above entitled
case for the sum of 100000 upon a
certain bond signed by the First Ma
tlOnal bank as principal and by the
said c. J. Devlin and others as sureties,
a copy of which bond was attached to
the said original claim, and said af1ant
for and in behalf of the said state of
Kansas now makes this amendment to
the said original claim which is still
pending and unadjudged before the
said referee, and says, that after the
adjudication in bankruptcy in this
case the said c. J. Devlin died: that
the death of the said c. J. Devlin oc-
CURED after he had made his petition
in bankruptcy and after all his prop
erty by virtue of the bankruptcy law
had passed into the hands of the court
for administration hereunder
The affidavit then sets forth that
under the state laws, debts due the
state are IN the third class Of prefer
ence, being preceded only by funeral
expenses, expenses of last sickness,
wages of servants and expenses of ad-
ministration. The affidavit continues:
THAT by virtue of said statute a
debt due the state of Kansas is classi-
fed as claim Of the third class, hav-
ing precedence and preference over all
other claims, demands. and debts ex-
cept Chose above men
toned) and has priority and prefer
ence over said ordinary debts, Iiabilf-
ties and allowances
'WhereupOn the said state of Kan
sas prays to amend its claim hereto
fore filed in this particular stated.
and prays that the same be allowed as
claim due the state under the law
Of the state of Kansas. and with
preference over the general and ordf-
nary debts and liabilities of said

ALL ARE DEAD.
No Hope for the Crew of the
Submarine Boat
Which Sank OFF the Coast of
Africa Tuesday.
WEREKILLED BYGASES
That Is the Opinion Expressed
By Experts.
Died Before They Could Operate
the Machinery.

Paris. Octs 1S.-In spite of the fact
that it was announced from Bizerta
this morning that the spot where the
submarine boat Lutin sank on Tuesday
had been definitely ascertained, hope
of rescuing her crew has been prac-
tically abandoned at the ministry Of
marine. Indeed. the prevailing i'm
preston there is that the crew were
probably Immediately killed or rem
dered unconscious by the accident, the
cause Of which, however, is still a mys-
terry, though theories on the subject
are numerous.
The naval officers are generally Of
the opinion that when Lieutenant
Fepoux ordered the boat to be sub
merged in the rough sea then running,
the helmsman depressed the rudder
too much and the Lutin pitched to
the bottom. OVerturning her air ac-
cumulators and suffocating the crew
with the fumes from the acids before
they had time to release the safety
weights or the telephone buoy. The
water pressure is sixty pounds to the
inch at the depth where the sub
marine lies, 36 meters which 1t is be-
lieved would be sufficient to start her
plates, especially If it is true as an
nounced in special dispatch from
Bizerta that the Lutin stranded a
fortnight ago that her hull may have
been injured and that she was not
docked after having been hauled off.
The ministry of marine Is coming in
for a lot of criticism owing to its fail
ure to properly equip the Bizerta naval
station with salvage apparatus, as it
was proposed to do after the disaster
to the submarine boat Farfadet, which
sank last summer of Bizerta Some
of the newspapers express the opinion
that the repeated accidents to sub
marine boats should lead to an inter-
national agreement to prohibit their

crews than they are ever likely to be
