year-old Bloomingdale boy. was found
lying beside the railroad tracks near
Mattawan early Saturday morning. His

ings Co., Detroit, was blown into bits
by the explosion of an oxygen gas
tank Thursday morning When the
tank. which was only FIVE feet long,
10 inches in diameter and one-quarter
OF an ich in thickness, let go the force
was so great that it scattered parts of
Keehn's body around the plant and
among the dozen or so men who were
his fellow workers. The building was
partly wrecked, nearly all the glass

floor and ceiling, men were nearly
thrown off their balance in Offices a

A RECOUNT.
Claimed That Both Or. Bradley and

than next Wednesday," declared DR..
j. b. Bradley at his Office in the cap
itol Friday morning. my attorneys

count will change the result. That
there have been gross Irregularities
in the primary in many counties is
quite certain.
AS l have already announced, the
matter of having a contest made was
In the hands OF my attorneys and they
have unearthed the evidence which
causes them to advise me to ask for
the recount. ! believe that the public
generally is thoroughly alive to the
peculiarities OF the vote cast in sew
eral counties. and il is their earnest
desire that the question of fraud and
irregularities shall be probed to the
very bottom and the facts discovered"
While the Bradley people have been
busy talking about irregularities in
the primary election strong supporters
OF Gov. Warner have been even buster
collecting evidence in a number of
counties. This is being kept under
cover. Dut II is known that the inveSti-
cation particularly had to do with
Saginaw, Kent and Wayne counties,
all of which DR.. j. B. Bradley carried
by large pluralities. Saginaw is es.
pecially under investigation because 1t
was openly charged by the Saginaw
News the day after the primary that
hundreds of Democrats had enrolled
as Republicans and voted in the pri.
mary and that other acts open to In.
vestigation occurred.

what the Bradley people intend to do.
1t is expected in Lansing that Gov.
Warner will take a course similar to
that of DR.. Bradley and demand a re-
count In several counties which gave
DR.. Bradley an exceptionally heavy
vote.

Sixteen Injured.

One man was quite badly injured
and 10 others slightly hurt in a head
on collision between a special excur-

which necessitated the excursion train

VREELAND BILL PASSED.
insurgent Republicans Fail to "cut
Much Ice."

Washington, D. c. May 15.--The
yreeland currency bill, agreed upon
by the republican caucus, was yester'
day put through the house under a
special rule by a vote of 1874 to 145.
Fifteen so-called insurgents of the
majority party voted with the
democrats, who went on record
solidly against the measure.
The closing moments of the debate
were .replete with excitement and re-
publicans enthusiasm caused by the
refusal of the great majority of the
democrats to go on record for the
Williams bill, which had been offered
by Mr.. Kahn of California as sub
stitute for the Vreeland bill, in &C.
cordance with a well laid plan of the
majority leaders to ascertain where
the democrats stood on the PROPOSE
ton, which, it was claimed by several
is supported by Mr.. Bryan. Ninety.
three democrats voted present."
which aroused the republicans to a
high state of hilarity at the expense
of the minority. Only a handful of
democrats had the. temerity to vote
AYE" or mo" The action of Mr..
Kahn was due to the refusal of Mr..
Williams to present his bill as sub
stitute, which, under the rule, he was
SPECIFICALLY authorized to do.

HOUSE AGREES TO VOTE ON
CURRENCY MEASURE.
Further Consideration of Brownsville
Affair Is Postponed Until Deem
Der Is by the Senate.

Washington. At 4:30 o'clock
Thursday afternoon the house will
vote on the Vreeland currency bill.
The best information indicates that
the bill will be passed by a small
majority.
When the house met at 1880 a. m.
a resolution, or order, was reported
from the committee on rules, In sub
stance as follows: That the bill be
taken up for consideration and pas
sage: that amendments be limited in
number to one; that general debate
proceed until 4:30 p m, the time be-
ing evenly divided between the two
sides of the house; that at 4:30 the
bill be voted on.
This resolution was adopted under
suspension of the rules by roll call
vote.
The further consideration of the
Brownsville affair was postponed
Wednesday by the senate until De-
cember 16 next. This decision was
reached after an extended exchange
of views among senators. Mr. For
aker after urging the appointment OF
an early day for voting on his bill
moved that it be taken up next De-
cember. After a motion by Senator
Culberson of Texas to vote on the
bill next Saturday was laid on the
table, Mr.. Foraker's motion was
adopted by a vote of 62 to 6. Mr..
Foraker gave out a statement saying
that while he could not have passed
the bill now, he thinks he has insured
it's passage by the postponement.
Senator Rayner's resolution direct
ing the president to appoint a court
of inquiry to investigate the case of
Col. William F. Stewart of the army,
now stationed at Fort Grant, Ariz.,
was referred to the committee on
military affairs.
The senate passed the house bill re-
storing the motto ''In God We Trust

HILL SCORES Waste
RAILROAD BUILDER OF NORTH
DELIVERS STRONG SPEECH.
MUST CONSERVE RESOURCES
Saws Crisis Is Near at Hand Unless
Best Judgment ls
Used.

Washington, d. c., May 15.-Start-
ling was the warning sounded yes
terday at the conference of governors
at the White house, of the danger
the nation confronts in soil and IN
forest depletion. The governors u.s.
tened and talked and applauded, but
took no action. This Is left for to-
day, the last day of the conference.
The resolutions committee was IN
session all day and will report in the
morning. A supplementary meeting
of q number of governors followed
the days session and committee
consisting of the governors of Ken
lucky, Missouri and Nebraska was
appointed to bring in a suggestion
for permanent organization OF
governors, Independent, perhaps, OF
any other organization which may be
found by the conference. The presi-
dent opened the morning and after
noon sessions, which were presided
over by Governor Johnson of Mime
sofa and Governor Deneen Of Illinois,
respectively.
The president then announced James
]. Hill, chairman of the board of d.
rectors of the Great Northern rail-
road as the first speaker of the morn
ing session. Mr.. Hills appearance
on the platform called forth a hearty
ovation.
Mr.. Hill said that not only the
economic but the political future Is
involved, and added:
EVERY nation finds it's hour of
peril when there is no longer free &C
cess to the land, or when the land will
no longer support the people. Dis
turbances from within are to be fear
ed more tn attacks from without.
ut would not be strange if they in
their desire for change attempt to
pull down the pillars of their ma
tional temple. Far may this day be
from us. But since the unnecessary
destruction of our land will bring
new conditions of danger, its con-
servation, it's improvement to the
highest point of productivity as pro-
missed by scientific intelligence and
practical experience, appears to be a
first command of any political econ
omy worthy of the name"
Mr.. Hill in conclusion said:
"Reviewing the spirit Of the days
that created our constitution, the
days that carried us through civil
conflict, the spirit by which all fur
Their enduring work in the world will
be wrought, demanding thought as
Washington and Lincoln thought,
only for the highest good of all the
people, we may as the result of the
deliberations and the conclusions
reached here today give new mean
ing to our future, new luster to the
ideal of a republic of living federal
states; shape anew the fortunes Of
this country and enlarge the borders
of hope for all mankind" ,

THREE MORE men MISSING
NEW VICTIMS OF MRS. GUINNESS
MAY BE REVEALED.
Reports Of Physicians Fall to Estab
lish Cause Of Woman's Death
Facts About Body. F.

Laporte, Ind. - Evidence to es.
tablish the identity Of three addi-
tional victims Of Mrs. Bella Guinness
was the most positive development OF
day filled with contradictory happen
lngs.
The new victims of Mrs. Guinness
are supposed to have been John Moe
Of Elbow Lake, MINI; Henry Gerhalt
of Scandinavia, Wis, small town
near lola, from which Ole o. Budsberg
came and George Brady of Tuscola,
ILL.,
The reports OF the four physicians
who conducted the post norton ex'
aminations on the bodies found In the
ruins of the Guinness home April 20
were given to the coroner's jury. They
fail to establish the manner In which
the woman and three children met
death and it is probable that the
coroner's jury will return an open yer.
dict regarding them.
The reports made to the coroner's
jury by Drs. J. l.. Gray, Fl. H. Long,
J. H. William Meyer and F. T. Wilcox
revealed several circumstances, the
existence of which has been carefully
guarded from public knowledge. This
Is particularly true of the document
signed by DR.. Gray and having to do
with the adult body, supposed to be
that of Mrs. Guinness.
The new facts brought to light con.
corning the body are as follows:
That the right arm is. practically
complete and that most of the left
forearm and hand are in existence.
Hitherto the complete arm had been
known as the left and the right arm
was supposed to have been completely
consumed in the fire.
That three rings, two containing in
scriptions, had been found on the
hands.
The rings presented puzzle which
thus far has not been solved. The in.
scriptions contain initials which are
unaccountable except upon one n.y.
pothesis, that being that the orna.
ments we're the property of Peter Gun.
ness first wife, that he presented them
to Mrs. Guinness, or that she obtained
possession of them after his death and
that she wore them on the night when
the house was burned.
