LANSING, Mich, Jan. Especial.
Among the new laws that the pres
ent legislature will be called upon tc
enact is one supported by the super
visors OF the state TO create a chain
gang" OF county prisoners compelling
them TO work upon the streets.
II is urged that such a law would
prevent the influx OF criminals from
other states, besides the counties
would get compensation for the keep
OF prisoners. Lobbyists are already
on hand 10 work for the passage OF
such a law.
Scores OF persons arrived in Lans-
ing today and by this evening nearly
all the legislators are expected to be
at the capitol for the caucuses, which
for the various Offices.
A lively fight is on over the posi-
ton of house sergeant-at-arms be-
tween ex-Representative A. J. Stroud,
OF Charlevoix. and w. II. Quilliams,
OF Benton Harbor. Both are here
"button-holing' the members. The
fight is expected to be interesting a.
the caucus tonight.
About all the legislature can do this
week is TO organize and get the ma
chine ready for business. BY next
week the work will be reached In
earnest. Governor Warner states that
IL will probably be next week before
he can make known the appointive
state officers

Harry Belton's notorious saloon, al

last Saturday night he was given
knockout drops In his beer In the
place. and when he awoke he found
himself in a back room with his money
gone, and the skin burned off one
loot. He removed his snoe and show.
ed his foot TO the police. and the APP.
pearance of that member bears out his
statement. II looks as If alcohol were

piled After hearing McDonald's story
Capt. Baker at once ordered the sa-

BANK BONDS FIGHT
To Be CONTINUED
IN NEW COUNCIL.
COMMITTEE, HoPELEssLY OVID
ED, PASSES WRANGLE ALONG,
BUT TEMPORARILY ACCEPTS
PERSONAL sURETIES.

A compromise has been patched up
temporarily between the warning rae
tons In the ways and means commit
tee OF the council over the question
Of accepting a personal surety bond
from the American Exchange Nation
al bank TO secure the city FUNDS held
there. The old surety company bond
expires Jan. 6, and 1t was necessary
to arrange a temporary settlement or
else withdraw $450.000 from the bank
10 be deposited elsewhere.
The report which went to the coun
ell Tuesday night states that the ways
and means committee Is hopelessiy
divided as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF &C
cepting personal bonds from the
banks. 1t asked that the whole mat
ter be referred to the new council.
The majority OF the members OF
the committee. headed by Chairman
Heinemau and backed by City Treas
urer. Koch, were averse to accepting
any personal sureties unless the rate
of interest paid to the city were Ill
creased. which the banks refused TO
do. with the exception OF the National
Bank OF Commerce. Three members
Of the committee backed by Mayor
Thompson and Controller Doremus
wanted To accept such personal bonds
anyway.
THE talk about there being no
money In handling the city deposits
is all exploded by thed disclosures IN
Pittsburg." remarked Aid. Heineman
when the matter came up for discus
sion.
II hope there are no banks here
like those in Pittsburg," said one or
the other committee members.
We'll, some people act like Plus
burgers" said Heineman.
II was finally decided TO accept a
personal bond from the bank pending
action by the new council.
No action was taken with regard 10
the personal surety bond offered by
the Old Detroit National bank, as that
banks surety company bond still has
some time to run.
The fight over the bonds Is expect
ed 10 be opened up within short
time as II will be the first matter -
come up before the new ways and
means committee.
The committee discussed the advis-
ability OF installing telephone
switchboard in the city hall and a
favorable report will be made.
Bills were received from the de-
partment Of public works for money
owing for feed and supplies in the
garbage division The committee held
that the money had been spent with
out proper authority, but deferred ac-
ton until Commissioner Haarer can
come before the committee and state
the facts.

JAPANESE ENGINEER T0 STUDY ARIZONA
 MINING CONDITIONS
Representative of Fulykwa Mining Company Enters
 Copper Queen Employ

For the purpose of studying from the ground up the methods employed in mining copper in the United States. Takeo Shikamura, scion of one of the oldest families in Japan and a grad uate of the mining and metalurgical department of the college of engineer ing of the Imperial University of To kyo. has come to Bisbee from the cap ital of Japan and entered the engin- fering department of the Copper Queen Mining company in a subordi. nate capacity.
 Shikamura. who is scholar and traveller, comes to America as rep resentative of the Furukawa Mining company. one of the largest and strongest financial institutions in tho Mikado's kingdom. Through an agree ment between the Copper Queen Min ing company and the Japanese con cern Shikamura will spend al least a year in studying the mining situation in Arizona. While his position in the engineering department of the Copper
 Queen is at present a minor one, so
 apt has the Japanese proven himself in grasping and mastering whatever he has been set to do since going into the employment of the company that
 executives of his department predict l a rapid rise for him.
 l Born in the southern portion of la | pan Shikamura. whose parents ar, prominent in banking circles of the | Nippon empire. was sent to the I'm | rerial University as special protegt ! of some of the biggest financial mer | in Japan. He is supposed to be one
 of the best posted students in coppei mining as conducted in Japan in tho empire He speaks five different Ian | guages and has visited practically al
 the capitals of the old world. He il living at the Copper ueen hotel
