Permission to Sue
Railroads
To Restore Governments
Title to Lands Not
Earned by Them

Washington, D. c., Mar. 5-Attor-
ney General Bonaparte before the
house committee on public lands to
day urged favorable report on the
joint senate resolution instructing the
attorney general to institute certain
suits to establish title of the United
States to lands in the Pacific states
granted to railroads in the sixties un.
der special conditions, it is now claim.
ed, have been violated by the gran.
tees. Mr.. Bonaparte explained to the
committee that resolution is direct.
ed particularly toward the Oregon and
California Railroad company.
Attorney General Bonaparte seeks
specific power to institute suits to
recover title to such lands as were
disposed of or are still held by the
railroads in violation of the conditions
Of the grants.
Representative Fordney of Michi.
gan, also addressed the committee.
He advocated an amendment to the
resolution to provide that innocent
purchasers of these lands and of the
railroad bonds secured by them should
not be made to suffer through the in
stitution of the suits. The hearin:
will be resumed March IL.

The inquest began this morning
when a number of witnesses were ex-
sanined, without developing any tes-
stimony that was beyond mere opin-
ion
The investigation conducted by the
Collinwood school board, which last
ed far into the night, at which a
number Of survivors of the horror
told their stories, brought forth
these facts:
That on Of the inner doors at the
west entrance Of the school was
closed and fastened while the child

passage; the wing petitions in the
Iyestibule narrowed the exit by at
least three feet; the flames came
first from the closet below the stair
way at the east entrance: the closet
contained lime and sawdust, where
three little girls had been found hid
ing in play in the closet earlier in the
morning; there was but one fire es-
cape and its use was never taught as
part of the fire drill.
| The halls and stairways were
| closed between interior brick walls,
forming huge flue through which

One question much discussed was

Cleveland, o., March 5.Twenty-
four hours after the disaster which
swept into eternity approximately

numbered 1854.
B Of these 137 had been identified
at the Lake Shore morgue, while ~
bodies remain there ina condition
Of mutilation probably forever be.
yond the chance Of being recogniz-
ed. The work Of digging in the
ruins of the Lake View school house,
in further search for the remains
of Children still missing, began with
the break of day. 49,
Dawn found mothers and fathers
waiting about the ruined building
after having spent the night in an
effort to find their children's re.
mains. But little was brought forth
during the day that would satisf!
their longings, and it is believed to
nigth that all the bodies that can be
removed from the ruins have beer
taken out.
Arrangements for the funerals OF
the victims were discussed tonight
at meeting attended by the mayo
of Collinwood, members of the board
of education, clergy and undertakers
The idea Of having public funera
of all the dead has been abandoned
though it is probable that where
can be done, the bodies will be group
ed in one church.

HERE IS THE
DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM
Bryan Sets Forth the Issues

Stand
| Nebraska Platform Said TO
Be a Brief Of National
Document

Omaha, Neb., Mar. 5-This was
Bryan Day. in Omaha. With the
democratic state convention as nu-
cleus, party leaders from every coun-
ty and practically every primary dis
trict in Nebraska gathered here to
pledge allegiance to the presidential
aspirations of Mr.. Bryan and to con
slider means for furthering his in
terests before the democratic nation
al convention at Denver, next July.
Enthusiasm was prevalent through
out the day. It broke loose early in
the afternoon session of the conven-
ton and broke out in tumultuous vo-
alterations when at the beginning OF
the evening session the platform COM
mittee presented this resolution.
"The democratic party of Nebraska
again declares confidence in, and ad-
miration for William Jennings Bryan.
In him we behold the ideal American
citizen, the ideal democrat. We re-
jcice that the principles which he has.
SO ably advocated have been gladly
received and are now generally ac:
cepted by the American people
The platform as whole was large
/ ly Mr. Bryan's own work That il
! reflected his views as to what should
form the issues upon which the party
should go before the country was moi
denied.
! Mr.. Bryan, however, said that The
declarations of the platform were ne
cessarily incomplete; that some sub
jects which undoubtedly would be in
cluded in the national platform, wer'
omitted, while others were treated il
the Nebraska document in brie
manner so as to allow amplifcation
at Denver.
There was no reference to govern
ment ownership in the platform; nei
Their was there personal liberty
clause therein.
Twelve tiisctricts and four delegates
at large to the national convention
