Pension Money will Help.

Within the next few days upwards

the pensioners of Michigan. Checks
will be sent out as usual, but arrange
ments have been made whereby banks
which cash them may send the checks
directly to the sub.treasury and re.
ceive cash in return for them. This
will mean the distribution in the state
of a(large amount of currency which
will be of great benefit, even though
some of it passes into the hands of
persons who will be tempted to hoard
it for while. Even the boarded por-
tion, however, will be spent before
many days, and. with the big amount
that will not be hidden away will help
very materially to bring about the end

State Treasurer Glazier In Financial
Troubles.

The sensation of. the week has been
the failure of State Treasurer f. P.
Glazier, who was interested in several
banks, a number of manufacturing en-
terprises at different points in the state
and who practically controlled the af-
fairs of the village of Oh elsea, where
he owned the large stove works. Sew
eral Detroit banks are involved and
claims amounting to over million dol
lars have already come to light. He
had on deposit in his banks at Chelsea
and Stockbridge, both of which have
closed their doors, $6S4,00O of state
money. His attorneys state that all
claims will be met in full, while the
state authorities believe the state will
recover all its money. 1t is thought
Glazier will resign as state treasurer.

Governor Ansel, late Sunday night,

REPORT WAS ERRONEOUS
No Intention to Probe Cotton ASsOcia-
tons Along With the Exchanges,
SAYS Garfield.

DAYS OarIlGld4
A Washington special says: The
latest move in the campaign of the
cotton exchanges to obstruct the pro-
gress Of the Investigation which is
being made by the bureau OF cor
porations by direction of a congress
sional resolution is the report which
mas been industriously circulated by
friends OF the New York cotton ex-
change that the Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION will also come under the
probe of the department of COM
merce and labor. The story was pub
lished throughout the country Sat
urday that such an investigation was
contemplated and that it would be
shown that the combinations of south
ern farmers to boom the price OF
the south's staple was inimical to
The interests of the producing sec
lions of the country and in defiance
Of law.
Commissioner Garfield, of the bu-
reau of corporations, was seen at his
office and denied that any such steps
had been taken He also denied that
they even contemplated an investi-
cation of cotton associations. Knott
Smith, the assistant commissioner,
also expressed ignorance of any such
movement; though he said the bu-
reau was not necessarily confined in
the scope of it's Investigations. 1t
is true that the bureau OF corpora
lions might under authority of law
investigate the organization, conduct
and management Of any corporation
or combination of corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce, except,
of course, railroads, which come I'M
der the provisions Of the interstate
commerce clause.
The department might even investi
gate the southern cotton associations
in conformity with their authority to
gather and publish useful information
concerning corporations engaged i'll in
terstate commerce on the ground that
such combinations affect interstate
commerce. The main point at pres
ent is that no such investigation has
been undertaken. No such inyestiga-
ton was contemplated in the Liv-
fngston-Burleson resolution directing
an investigation into the cotton ex-
changes of the country, and Colonel
Livingston was informed that none
was at. present contemplated.

luton was pending Representative

it should provide also for an inyesti-

JAP QUESTION
UP TO SOLONS
Settlement of Frisco School Row
in Hands Of Congress.
ROOSEVELT OPENS WAY
White Schools Will Be Opened TO Ori-
entails Provided immigration Bill
Passes With Exclusion Clause.

A Washington special says: The
japanese school controversy is set
tied, in so far as President Roosevelt,
Mayor Schmitz and the members of
the San Francisco school board are
concerned. An amicable adjustment
of the question now rests with con-
gress If the amendment to the immi-
grafton bill, proposed by Secretary
Root, excluding foreigners who use
their passports to secure admission
to the United States ITO the detrt-
ment Of labor conditions in this coun-
try" is accepted by the senate and
house, and the immigration bill is
passed at this session of congress, the
San Francisco board of education will
rescind it's order establishing the
oriental schools unless the Japanese
government agrees to a proposition
for separate schools, which will pro-
vide equal facilities for the Japanese
children.
Mayor Schmitz and his assistants
mad a conference with the president
at the white house Wednesday after
noon, and Mr.. Roosevelt was assur-
ed that the amendment to the inlmi-
grafton bill was entirely satisfactory
to them. Secretary Root participated
in the conference, and made a report
on his negotiations with the repub-
lican leaders in congress and the Jap
anese ambassador.
While Mayor Schmitz and the mem
hers of the school board are still
hopeful that Viscount Aoki, the Jap
anese ambassador, will agree to sep
arate schools in California, they stand
willing to rescind the order establish
ing the oriental schools, and again adj
init Japanese children to the white
schools.
Mayor Schmitz pointed out to Pres
ident Roosevelt and Secretary Root
the advantages that will be gained by
the japanese children if the oriental
schools are maintained and expressed
a willingness to give the japanese
equal educational facilities to those
given to the white children Of San
Francisco.
If the Japanese government will
agree to this proposition, the school
board will establish a sufficient num-
Der of oriental schools to accommo-
date the japanese, and will give the
children individual instruction. May
or Schmitz says that the Japanese
make greater prgores sill oriental
schools than they do in the white
schools, and that in the mixed school
the Japanese only retard the progress
Of the white children
Another conference viii be held at
the white house, and in the meantime
President Roosevelt hopes to be able
to give Mayor Schmitz and his assocl-
ates assurance that the immigration
bill, including the exclusion amend
ment, will be passed at this session
Of congress.
The only thing that will prevent
an amicable settlement Of the whole
question will be the unwilltngness Of
congress to pass the immigration bill.
This, it can be stated, on tie high
est official authority, is now the only
possible hitch that can De encounter.

TWENTY DIE
In THIS HORROR
Fast Electric Train Flies Track in
Suburbs Of New York City,
UNFORTUNATES MANGLED
Majority of Victims Were Women Com
posing Theatre Matinee Party.
Coaches Lett the Track,

Twenty dead, two fatally hurt and
145 others more or less seriously in
jured, is the result of the wreck OF
an electric express train on the New
York Central railroad at 205th street
and Webster avenue, New York
City, Saturday night. OF the large
number of injured, fifty, according to
the hospital and police reports, are
seriously hurt and the death list may
be increased. Most of the others are
suffering from decorations or shock
and will recover.
The train was filled with matinee
crowds and commuters, and was
made up of two electric motors, a
combination baggage and smoking car
and four passenger coaches. 1t left
the Grand Central station at 6:15
o'clock with the first scheduled stop
at White Plains 1t was running at
high speed, probably go miles an
hour when it reached Woodlawn
road, where there is sharp curve.
The motors and the second car took
the curve safely, but the following
coaches were derailed and tumbling
on their sides, were dragged 100
yards before the coupling gave way
and the four cars piled together in
ruins at the foot Of low embank-
ment
A sheet of electric flame enYeloped
the rear car, and for moment threat
ened to roast the victims pinioned
III the debris. The flames did not,
however, spread, and the horror of a
holocaust was avoided AS the cars
fell they smashed the third rail,
breaking the current and ending the
danger from this source. In the crash
which followed, there was death for
many, while practically every one in
the four coaches received injuries Of
some sort
Many were ground to pieces, and
for hours identification was almost
hopeless. AS the cars went over many
Of The passengers were thrown into
or through the windows, and so cut
and manned.
OF those instantly killed, by far
the greater number were women.
Many were mangled beyond recogni-
ton. Arabulanccs and surgeons from
every hospital in Bronx borough, and
from Bellevue in Manhattan, respond
ed to hurry calls, as did tile two
fire engine companies and the police
reserves from many stations.
Many Of the injured were quickly
extricated from the wreckage, while
others were so pinioned that they
could not be taken out for some time.
Those most seriously injured were
hurried to hospitals, while coroners
took charge Of the dead as fast as
the bodies were recovered.
Fire started in the overturned cars,
but the flames were quickly extin
guished, and the fremen lent their
aid to the injured
The cause of the wreck has not
been officially determined. AT the
Grand Central station there was an
inclination to blame the accident to
the spreading Of rails, but later it
was said that it was believed that
the axle Of the first passenger coach
broke, throwing the cars from the
track.
