The Military Bill.

The Stewart military BILL which Is
of so much Importance to the Nation
al Guard of the state, passed the SEN
ate and was given immediate effect
Governor Warner has stated that so
far as he has examined the bill, it is
satisfactory to him. Somewhat radi-
cal changes are made in the law gov
erning the National Guard of the
state, the principal one of which is
that providing for promotions by SEN
iority above the grade Of second lieu
tenant. This is in line with the plan
being adopted in many other states.
In the appropriation section, provis-
ion is made for each company to draw
on the state for $4,000 for the cree
ton of an armory, but the fund is linn
tied to two companies each year,
which amounts to a reduction of $10,-
900 year, as the present law grants
$4,000 a year, but gives only $4,000
to each company, which it has been
found is insufficient to erect armories
suitable for the purpose of drill and
storing property.
If there are sufficient funds the
state military board may grant an
allowance of 5000 year to each COM
pany for armory rental and allow
ances, a raise of 800, while Detroit
companies, in view of the exception
ally heavy expense of housing those
commands, are to receive $1,000 a
year. Enlisted men serving a second
enlistment are granted increased pay
for attending drills, and provision is
also made for paying officers for at
tending drills, in case there are suf-
ficient funds.
No changes are made in the staff
department OF the state except that
after the expiration of the commits
sions of the present governors person
al staff of colonies. these honorary
officers will have to be content with
the rank of major.

The Matter of Adjournment.

The legislature will quit work on
May Is, and final adjournment will be
on May 10. An agreement has been
reached to this effect, and the senate
is agreeable to the plan. Some mem
bers are wondering what Is back of
this hurry to fix the date for adjourn
ment. 1t is pointed out that once the
date is finally fixed there will be OPP
portunities for all kinds of log-rolling,
obstruction tactics and the crack of
the whip to prevent the passage Of
bills. If the plan goes through. Mon
day night will be the last opportu-
nifty there will be to introduce bills,
and 1t is urged that it is rather sud
den to shut out bills with only two
days intervening for an examination
of the situation to ascertain that moth
ing has been overlooked Not all the
appropriation bills are in, and there
will have to be the hastiest kind of
work to get bills through in order to
avoid the rule which requires a bill
10 be before each house five days be-
fore 1t can be passed.

That Search and Seizure Bill.

Although the house has sent the
search and seizure bill to the judic-
larry committee, the Anti-Saloon
League officers say they are not wor-
rying about the bill, claiming that
committee can find no excuse for
holding the bill up further, that If
anything of that nature is attempted
there are the votes in the house to
take the bill away from the commit
tee. With reference to the argument
OF some members that the bill is I'M
constitutional, Attorney Pliny Marsh,
of the league, says that the measure
has been submitted to many lawyers
throughout the state, to the judiciary
committee of the senate, and to the
encouragement, and no one of them
has found any constitutional objec-
tion to it; and he doubts IL the house
judiciary committee will be inclined
TO offer this as an excuse for retain
ing the bill. The bill does not permit
the search Of private residences, and

Hanged at Dawn.

Nadir Pasha, second eunuch of the
palace under the regime of Abdul
Hamid. was hanged at dawn Thursday
on the Galata bridge, the great thor
oughfare that connects STEAMBOAT with
the quarters of Galata and Pera. The
body was allowed to swing until s
o'clock in the morning and the people
stopped to look at the great Nubian
whose name was terror under Abdul
Hamid
The dead mans face showed an I'M
dershot jaw and thick, heavy lips. In
life he had been fully 6 feet inches
tall.
Nadir was executed after trial by
court-martial on the charge that he
instigated the mutiny of the troops
April 13. He was reputed to be in
tensely ambitious, subtle-minded and
insensible to the feelings of others.
He was one Of the trio that formed
Abdul Hands private cabinet under
the old regime.

The Forestry Bills.

Representative Morrice, chairman
of the forestry committee, made a fu-
tile effort to pass his general forestry
bill in the house. The measure failed
before, and was tabled. He had votes
to get the bill off the table, but on its
passage the record vote showed 45 to
20, not sufficient to pass. Mr.. Morrice
made no effort to have it tabled again.
He says 1t will remain dead. He adj
mitted, too. that the killing OF his bill
is no especial blow to the forestry in
terests of the state, because most of
it's good features are incorporated in
the Flowers substitute measure which
Is pending before the house.

The Warships Which Made the Great
Tour Not Wrecks.

The Warships Which Made the Great
Tour Not Wrecks.
Secretary of the Navy Meyer de-
clares that the 16 battleships of the
Atlantic fleet which made the voyage
around the world were in excellent
condition and the fact that they were
accompanied by a repair ship kept
them in good order throughout the
trip.
He referred to an article in an Eng
lish publication saying the result of
the trip was worth from $25, 5000 to
$50,000,000 TO the United States navy.
The secretary said he had found the
voyage had cost only $1,500,000 more
than If the battleships had been kept
at home and assigned to ordinary
duties. The battleships needed no
extensive repairs, and the fact that
they were to remain at the navy yards
month longer than at first contem-
plated was not due to a need of more
repairs but to the fact that materials
needed for the repairs were not avail.
able.
The changes In the masts had been
decided upon after extensive tests
and experiments in which the old
masts had been fired into by big
guns. The adoption of the skeleton
masts with which the battleships are
being fitted was decided upon after
these tests. Some of the ships will
leave the yards with only one Of
these masts because the material for
second one will not be available in
time to complete the change before
the beginning of the summer man
euvers.

The U. of M Mill rax

Senator Kline has gone after the
University of Michigan by introduc-
ing a bill to reduce the tax from
three-eighths to one quarter of a mill.
Some Of the farmers are also after
the Agricultural College. which re-
ceives one-tenth of a mill tax. I'D to
four years ago the amount derived
from this tax was limited to 800, 600,
but the limit was removed, giving the
institution about $4,000 additional.
Now the farmers want the board TO
set aside about $4,000 for building
an elevator In the woman's building,
improving the stock and providing for
work in soil surveys and horticulture.
The board wants separate appropria-
lions for these matters, and Repre-
sentative Schantz declares that un-
less they are provided outside OF the
regular appropriation, a bill will be
passed to restore the 100000 re-
striction.

duced by Representative Bierd, re-
organizing the department of Ia
bor Representative Flowers in
troduced the amendment, and in a
speech OF nearly an hour thoroughly
reviewed existing conditions relative
to women labor, the action taken in
other states and the advisability of
immediate action on the part of Mich
igan. The amendment was adopted
almost unanimously. Mr.. Bierd's bill,
however, did not meet with the gen.
eral approval of labor, for the reason
that he incorporated in il some of the
Independent bills which have been Sc
cured in the past by the molders and
metal polishers, who resented any
tampering with the laws which they
had struggled so hard to secure.
Representative Clarken, the recog-
nized labor leader of the house, also
opposed the bill for the same reason,
and endeavored to secure an oppor-
tunity to vote on the nine-hour amend
ment for women separately, with the
intention of voting against the bill.
The same position was taken by Rep
resentatives Austin, Ogg and Curtiss,
who stand with Clarken on all meas
ures affecting labor. Mr.. Bierd's bill
provided an increase in salary for the
labor commissioner and his deputy,
and an increase of $4,000 in the main
tenance Of the department; but these
were cut out by the committee on
ways and means. Additional free en-
ployment bureaus are to be establish

For Dry County Brewers.

Representative Stevenson, of De-
troit has introduced the bill which
permits breweries in dry counties to
continue to operate, provided none of
their product is sold within those
counties. The brewers from several
dry counties have had the bill here
for couple of weeks looking for a
legislator to introduce it, but until
Stevenson agreed to send it up. no
one was willing. Not only will it be
opposed by residents of dry counties,
but brewers in wet counties will add
their opposition. which it is said,
makes the chances for the bill rather
slim.

That MILEAGE Bill.

The senate held a long session
Wednesday evening considering bills
in general order. Among the bills
agreed to was the substitute for the
house bill providing for 500-mile mile
age books, interchangeable over all
railways in the state. The senate
added to this bill a section giving to
the railways the right to collect a
ten-cent penalty on cash fares, and
one authorizing the collection of fares
in multiples of FIVE There was a
hearty contest over the question, but
the sections were retained in the bill.

DEATH ABROAD
IN THE STORM
THE WRECK OF THE NEsTER
WAS IN SIGHT OF THOSE WHO
COULD NOT HELP.
ENTIRE CREW Persisted
The Storm Was Too Fierce for the
Ships in Sight to Render Any As
sistance Whatever.

Seven lives comprised the human
tribute paid to the treacherous waters
of Lake Superior during Fridays
storm, when the barge George hester
foundered on a reef off the Huron
islands, and went to the bottom with
all hands.
The craft was bound for Baraga, a
small city on Keweenaw bay on the
south shore of the lake, in tow of the
steamer Schoolcraft All night a fierce
storm had been blowing and hours be-
fore the craft went to the bottom the
crew had given up hope OF ever
reaching shore alive.
Several times the Schoolcraft at
tempted to take the men off the Mes
ter, after which it was planned to cut
the barge loose, but each time the
steamer started for her tow the 10
mile gale would carry the latter away.
For hours the Schoolcraft battled
with the raging elements in a mad
fight to get her tow and herself to
some shelter. Keweenaw bay was
miles away, yet it was the nearest
harbor of refuge. The Schoolcraft
bravely plunged and rolled through
the angry waters and the hester
staggered on in her wake.
When the boats were off the Huron
islands the hester swerved to one
side. For a moment the tow line stood
out taut and threatening. Then with
a report like that of a cannon it
liberated from the extra weight, shot
forward. The hester rode up on the
crest of a mountainous wave and then
drifted to leeward TO be ground to
pieces on the cruel rocks of the
southern coast of the Huron islands.
When the hester sank down in the
trough of the waves. breaking of
timbers could be heard by those on
the SchoolcrafC. Three members of
the sinking boats crew leaped into
the foamy waters. Three more were
about to follow when the craft reared
in the air, half turned over on her
port side. and shot down to the depths
of the lake.
The lighthouse tender Marigold
was following close behind the School
craft and hester, having been sent
out by the keeper or the Huron island
light when he saw the boats in
trouble. but, like the Schoolcraft, it
was unable to go to the assistance OF
the barge and dared not lower life
boat, as no such craft could have lived
in the seas.

miles south of Fox island was sighted
Saturday by the car ferry Ann Arbor
No. 1. 1t was found to be the steel
lighter Batavia, Of the Lehigh Valley
line. The craft is used in the Chicago
river, and how it came to be so far
north is still mystery.
Its hawser was cut, the table In the
dining-room was set and a meal was
half eaten. 1t is believed that the
crew, fearing a storm, went aboard
some other craft which must have
been towing the lighter.

The house held a session on Satur-
day of last week and it Is stated to
be the first Saturday session in forty
years. The cause was the anxiety to
push the work along so that as few
bills as possible might be left uncon-
sidered. Sixty-eight members an
swered to the roll call and about a
dozen bills were passed and as many
more considered in committee of the
whole. 1t will be surprising If some
bills are passed in a half-baked condi-
ton, owing TO the haste with which

lowing note:
Dear Aunt Maggie am much dis
couraged. Forgive me for this. My

that the fear of going insane had
driven her to desperation.
