 The returns indicate that a record breaking vote was polled throughout the state yesterday.

1900 PUPILS IN DANGER.
Grand Rapids Threatened With Rope
tition of Cleveland Horror.

Grand Rapids, Mich, March s.
Grand Rapids today was threatened
with a repetition of Cleveland's trag-
edy yesterday on an even larger scale.
Fire broke out in the laboratory of the
Central High school while 1900 pupils
were in the midst of the morning work.
The fire drill signal was given and
the pupils marched out in perfect or
der. The building was emptied in two
and one half minutes,
The Central High school is over
crowded and the stairways inadequate
and fears of a possible panic have
long been felt, but the fire drill today
proved effective. The fire did little
damage.
That there was no panic in the
school was probably due to the fact
that a professional photographer had
| been taking nashlight pictures in the
corridor of the High school few
minutes before the fire broke out and
the children had been warned not to
be alarmed.
Only the quick action by the fire de-
partment prevented a serious fire.

guese dependency had the vessel ar
rested in Marcao waters.
This is according to the viceroy's
statement, but whether the steamer
was actually in Macao waters or not
is doubtful.
1t is understood that the Perkin au-
thorities would have released the
Tatsu Maru because of the reasonable
doubt as to the legality of the viceroy' S
proceedings provided that Japan would
make no claim for indemnity. 1t Is
commended here strongly that Chang
Jen-Chun prevented this course.
China believes that she has fully es-
tahlished her charge of violation oil
neutrality by reports that have come in
here showing arrests of other vessels
by working contraband cargo in the
same waters where the Tatsu Maru
was seized and over which the mari
time customs have jurisdiction.
Up to the present time the Chinese
and japanese authorities have failed
utterly to come to an agreement or
even the principles of a settlement OF
the threatening question. The lnterna
situation in the Liang Kuang district
also is threatening.
The government is coping with con-
dition of chronic rebellion which is be-
ing fed by an active trade in contra
band rifles and ammunition in which
various foreigners are taking part.
