Adjourn August I.

Senators Hale, of Maine: Guggen-
helm. of Colorado, and Scott, of West
Virginia, sitting in the cabinet room
at the White House waiting to see
President Taft, discussed the date of
the probable adjournment of congress.
They agreed that August / seems now
to be the earliest possible day that
the two houses of congress could agree
on tariff bill. Senator Scott reiter-
ated that he believed congress could
adjourn In two weeks II someone
would close up the press gallery and
clear the public galleries of specta-
tors. Senators Depew, of New York,
and Owen, of Oklahoma, who called
later at the White House and saw the
president, were just as pessimistic
over the outlook for adjournment Sen
ator Owen said he did not look for it
before August /. Senator Depew said
he had engaged passage for Europe
for June 10, but had cancelled it.

The Storm Damage.

Attaining almost the proportions Of
a cyclone in some places, and accom-
panied by terrific downfall of hail,
a storm swept over the southern por-
ton of Michigan Saturday afternoon,
leaving destruction in its wake. Many
barns and other farm buildings were
blown down and shade and fruit trees
destroyed, while the damage to the
fruit crop from the destruction of the
buds by the hail will be very extern
sive. Florists and greenhouse men are
also heavy losers, the hail having
been so heavy as to destroy practi-
cally every light of glass in the green
houses in the path of the storm. The
early celery crop around Kalamazoo
is believed to be a total loss, the
young plants having been completely
washed out of the ground by the ter
rife downpour of hail and rain. So
far as known the storm cost but one
human life. George Brooks, an aged
fisherman living at Huron Point, at
the mouth of the Clinton river, in Lake
st. Clair, put out from the mainland
for home just before the storm broke,
and nothing having been seen of him
since, 1t is believed that his small
craft was capsized and he was
drowned.

The Adana Horrors.

The estimates Of from 10000 to 25,-
900 Christians killed by Mohamme-
dams in the province of Adana, made
a fortnight ago, must be revised. 1t
Is now ascertained that the number
can hardly reach more than 10000,
possibly less. Thousands who were
supposed to have been killed in the
country districts, have since come into
some one of the large towns for re-
lief. Nearly $4,000 persons have re-
ceived assistance from the American,
French, German, Armenian and Turk
ish relief committees or officials in
Adana, $4,000 in Marash, $4,000 in
Hadjin, 5000 In Mersina, 1000 in La
TAXA, 1000 In Tarsus and a compar-
atlvely large number In Aintab and
Alexandretta. Fugitives from the viii
lagos or settlements, who first reached
the large towns after the massacres
began, exaggerated, through their
fears the extent of the slaughter, but
although the later figures are lower
than the first estimates, there still re-
mains the dreadful fact that fright
full brutality was practiced, especially
toward women. The Mohammedan
figures, of about 1000 Mohammedans
killed in this province, must also be
reduced

telage of Mr.. John d. Conely, one of
the most distinguished lawyers of his
time. Soon after leaving Mr.. Conely's
Office and setting up in practice for
himself, he was in the enjoyment of
a lucrative law practice, and is now
one of the firm of Miner & Anhut.
Mr. Anhut's popularity amongst his
wide acquaintances and friends was
shown in the fall of 1908, when, yield
ing to their solicitation, he entered
the field of politics to contest the
nomination for the senatorship of the
fourth senatorial district against Hon.
Joseph Greusel. Although his COM
petitor was a gentleman of age and
distinction in official life, Mr.. Anhut
entered upon the canvass for the pri-
mary election with his usual energy.
The contest while in progress excited
unusual attention. The result Of the
primaries showed Mr.. Anhut had re-
ceived 1874 votes, while Mr.. Greusel
received 1916 This victory was fol-
lowed by one equally pronounced in
the succeeding election, when Mr.. An
huts plurality was 1929 over his high
est competitor.

Some KILLINGS.

The Stewart bill, which would have
abolished the doctrine of carelessness
of a fellow-servant as a complete de-
tense of all employers of labor when
an injured employe sued for personal
injury damages, was killed in the
house by vote of 3S for and 40
against. The argument made was that
the time was too short to fully con-
slider a bill of so much Importance.
The house also killed Game Warden
Pierce's bill to allow him to increase
his force from 10 deputy state ward
ems to %, the % also to serve as fire
wardens. Also the bill was killed to
give threshers a lien for their pay on
grain that they had threshed.
BY a vote of 81 to 20 a motion to
strike out all after the enacting clause
failed to carry in the house when the
bill allowing breweries in dry counties
consideration. The bill prohibits the
breweries selling in the dry counties.
II may go through on final considera-
ton. A number of legislators from
dry counties were free to admit that
forcing breweries out of business will
cause heavy loss to many who have
their all invested in such properties.
The senate utterly refused to pass
a bill providing for regulating the is
suance of stock by public utility cor
porations. First the Sanders bill,
which has passed the house, was de-
feated by vote of IL to IL, and then
the Mapes bill, similar in character,
was offered and it met defeat by the
same vote. Senators declare both
bills are too stringent in character.
Another attempt will be made today
to put through the Mapes bill. the vote
by which it failed to pass having been
reconsidered and the bill tabled.

Circuit Judge c. l.. Collins, of Bay
City, on Friday sentenced 10 men. who
had pleaded guilty to charges OF bur-
glary. All go to jackson prison for
terms ranging from six months to six
years.
A feature of the case is that two
fathers and their two sons were in the
gang, and two of the other men are
brothers.
Seven of the men were in a gang
which for months has been robbing
farmers in the country north of Bay
City. When captured they had nearly
a houseful of plumber. They are:
Michael Schmidt, three to six years;
Charles Schmidt, his son, one to one
and one-half years; Ernest Pfund and
his brother John, two to three years;
William Heath, one to two years;
Thomas, his son, six to nine months,
and John Henneger, one to two years.

THE NATION AND
THE WORLD
PRESIDENT TAFT IS CHANGING
POLITICAL SITUATION
IN SOUTH.
OUR DILATORY CONGRESS
Matters Of Interest Collected Here and
There About the World Briefly
Sketched.

President Taft has made a start in
the good work of breaking up the
bands of political renegades, who, for
many years, or ever since civil war
times, have dispensed federal patron
age in many of the states of the south.
The beginning was made last week,
when the president, going a.ght
over the heads of all machine" Re
publicans of North Carolina, but not
without first giving them a chance to
make good" nominated a stanch
Democrat, Judge Henry G. Connors, Of
the supreme court of the state, to be
federal Judge for the eastern North
Carolina district.
1t is said in that connection that it
is the intention of the president to
proceed similarly in other southern
states. in cases where he cannot find
Republicans Of suitable caliber and
reputation to fill important federal po-
sitions.

The Military Bill.

Gov. Warner has signed the Stewart
military bill revising the laws relative
to the National Guard. and ii takes
immediate effect. Among the mem
bers of the state troops the new act
is considered one of the best ever
passed by the state, as 1t not only
brings the organization closer to that
OF the regular army, but provides
changes in the old law which will, 1t
is believed, greatly increase the ef-
ficiency of the state troops. The au-
thor is Mai Earle Stewart, of the
Second regiment, Grand Rapids, and
ne has had more success in handling
this class of legislation than any pre-
vious legislator who has attempted to
get through such bills. 1t passed both
other things the bill provides for the
promotion of officers by seniority,
above the grade Of second lieutenant;
II increases the appropriation for
erecting armories from $4,000 to
$4,000 per company and allows for
increased pay for men on their second
enlistment.
The rank OF the members Of the
governors stan is reduced from
colonel to major and many changes
are made In the system OF handling
the state troops One section which
1T Is believed will greatly relieve COM
tpanies from financial troubles is that
which exempts armories from taxa
ton, under which 1t is expected they
can secure reduced rentals.

Gaaaed and Robbed.

Otto Sosnofski had some debts to
pay. He went to a bank in North
Lansing and drew a considerable sum
of money Otto was found at IL o'clock
Saturday evening on Pennsylvania av-
enue by Patrolman Ban O'Brien, in a
semi-conscious condition and gagged
with rag and piece of wire. Young
Sosnofski was unable to walk when
found. HIS face was badly cut by
the wire gag which had to be removed
with pincers. Fortunately for Otto he
had paid his debts before being at
tackled. The robbers got but SO.

A Valuable Member.

Gilbert A. Currie, Representative
from Midland County, returns to his
constituents at the close of the present
session with a record of things accom-
plished that should insure him re-elec-
ton as long as he desires to represent
the County.
His work on the important commit
tees of railroads and judiciary has given
him prestige and standing, not only
with the house but with all whose in
terests have brought them before these
prominent committees,
Perhaps Mr.. Currie Is best known as
the father" of the County Depository
bill, which requires county treasurers
to place the funds of the counties in
banks designated by boards of Super
visors or County Auditors, saving to the
tax PAYERS thousands of dollars in in
terest money which treasurers have
been putting in their pockets. The bill
was stubbornly fought. especially by
banker members but Mr.. Currie had
fortified himself with facts and his arg
uments were so conclusive that he car
ried the day in the house and followed
it through the Senate, and it is now law.
Another exceedingly important piece
of work was his handling in the house
of the Dickinson search and Seizure
bill. so vital to the interests of "dry"
counties. 1t was expected that at
tempts would be made to injurc the bill
by amendments but so skill fully was it
piloted that il came through practically
intact.
1t may also be stated that the Currie
Juvenile Court bill was the only one
of the many submitted that was favor
ably regarded by the legislature.

Lansing, Mich, May II, 1909

LdnSlub, Nay 80 iVN1'
That the legislative session of 1909
has reached the end is in no way more
clearly evidenced than by the scene
in the house after adjournment Sat
urday noon. The work of packing up
the effects OF the members was started
by a force of men under Sergeant-at-
Arms Quilliams and by night the halls
were filed with big boxes of books,
files, stationery, paper baskets and
other personal articles furnished by
the state and used by the members.
These boxes go prepaid by express
to the members homes.
The house bills were all disposed OF
by Thursday and the so or 60 senate
bills before the house will receive
prompt attention. There is still TO
be disposed of the home rule bill and
the bill to fix the salary of the clerk
of the supreme court. These may fail
OF passage through disagreement, but
it is not likely.
The railroad commission is still in
conference over the dispute as to sal
aries and this may not get through.
At all events, a special session is con-
sidered very probable
The labor bill is all agreed to ex-
cept the nine-hour for women feature,
which will be adjusted The commits
sioner of labor gets $500 increase in
salary and his deputy $500.
One of the features of the week
was the passage of the st. Clair Flats
bill permitting the people who have
settled and improved the Flats to buy
a title from the state for one dollar
per front foot The bill was fought
by the Encouragement and the Avery
crowd of Port Huron.

Quake Shook Montana.

A distinct earthquake shock was felt
at Great Falls, Mont, and it was also
felt at Choteau, Havre, Wagner and
other points, showing that it prevailed
generally over northern Montana
While no serious damage was done,
the shock was sufficient to spill ar
ticles from shelves in stores, and
there was some breakage of glass
ware. The strongest disturbance ex-
tended from Glendive to Dickinson
East OF that point it was light. Dis
patchers in Dickinson depot were
frightened from their posts. Glasgow
was shaken badly. Freiberg, n. D..

HE WAS LOST.
Kermit Roosevelt Had a Lone Night
in the Junule.

Kermit Roosevelt Had a Lone Night
in the Jungle.
IL became known Friday that Ker-
NIT Roosevelt lost his way from his
fathers camp near Machakos, on Fri
day, the 18th, and spent an entire night
alone on horseback riding through a
region unknown TO him. On Saturday
morning he turned up at Kin, sta
ton on the railway, inquiring there
the way to camp. He was given the
desired directions.
Roosevelt and his son arrived at
the Ju ia ranch OF George Mcmillan
on the 14th. They came from their
camp at Machakos. They will remain
at Ju ia from TO 10 days, according
to the luck they have in hunting i'm
palla, buffalo, warthog and waterbuck.
AT the conclusion of their visit with
Mr.. Mcmillan, Mr.. Roosevelt and his
son will come to Nairobi.
The region in which Kermit Roose-
welt is reported to have been lost lies
between the Athi river and the Ugan-
da railway. Kin, where he finally
found himself, Is about so miles be-
low Narobi, and 80 or 40 miles south
east of Machakos
There is an old cart road from
Machakos to Kin, but otherwise the
country and the region Whereabouts is
very sparsely inhabited by natives of
the Wakamba tribe, a peaceful people
engaged chiefly in agriculture.

The Prohibition FIGHT.

Although the question of abolshing
the saloons will also be submitted to
the people of both Marquette and Chip
pewa counties at the election in April,
1910, the hardest fight to be waged
for local option in upper Michigan the
coming year will be that in Dickinson
county. The prohibition forces there
have perfected a strong and influential
organization composed of business
men. educators and clergymen, and
there has already been launched a
campaign that 1t is said will be pushed
vigorously in every precinct from now
until election day.

rhe Extravaaant KaIser.

An attack is being made by the
press upon the kaiser for his reckless
extravaganza. The nation has already
an annual deficit of $125,00O,00O and
the papers are beginning to complain
that the nation cannot afford to pay
$4,000 for the cost of the journey
when his majesty travels from Pots
dam to Venice. The latest example Of
the kaiser's extravaganza is in con-
nection with an order he recently
gave for three new motor cars. He
ordered them to be painted pale yell
low, with dark brown streaks Owing
to an officisl's mistake the streaks
were painted black, and although the
difference was undistinguishable to
the ord nary eye the kaiser ordered
all three cars to be reprinted. Then,
as this entailed delay, he bought a
ready made car, which cost $4,000,
and when he got the three new cars
he gave the ready made one away to
a personal friend.
