County to Bear Fire Losses.

At the coming session of the legis-
lature there will no doubt be a bill
introduced that will save the state
at large large amount of money
that is now being paid to the various
townships throughout the northern
section Of the state for the states
share in fighting forest fires.
According to the present laws the
state IS compelled to pay individual
townships one-third of the amount
which the townships pay out for pro-
tecting the township against forest
fires. The state pays out each year
thousands of dollars in this way and
in many cases the property that is
protected belongs to rich lumber in
terests in the upper peninsula Those
who are in a position to know claim
that it is unjust for the townships
and counties in the lower part of the
state to he compelled to share this
extra burden OF taxation, from which
they derive absolutely no benefit
whatever.
The bill that appears to meet with
the most favor is one that will des-
ignate the county in which the town
ship is located to bear a certain
amount of the expense.

AZ KILLED, 70 HURT,
IN TROLLEY CRASH
CARS CRASH TOGETHER IN DIS
ASTRoUs WRECK NEAR
FORT WAYNE, IND.
ONE CAR WAS CARRYING CROWD
OF MERRY MAKERS TO
COUNTY FAIR.
Hardly a Passenger Escapes Death
or Injury; Cars Twisted
Together.

Forty-two persons were killed and
20 seriously injured in the most dis.
astrous traction car wreck that has
marked interurban traffic since the
system was established. when a south
bound limited and a nortRbound local
car on the Wabash Valley line collided
near Kingsland, north of Fort Wayne.
The accident occurred on a short
curve, and many of the bodies We're
so mangled that Identification is rem
dered slow. if not in some cases i'm
possible.
Hardly any OF the passengers in
the two cars escaped injury. but the
less seriously hurt gave what assist
ance they could and in few mo-
ments 20 bodies, horribly mutilated,
were carried 10 the roadside and laid
along the track. Others were so pin
ned in the debris that they could not
be reached till wrecking crews ar
rived upon the scene.
The northbound car was loaded
with people going to the county fair
at Fort Wayne, and among them were
many women and children.
What led to the accident is not
known but it is supposed that there
was a misunderstanding Of. orders.
The car carrying the people to the
fair was an extra and II is believed
that its position on the road was not
definitely known and the limited, run
ming on its own time, was not APP
prised Of its approach,
The curve where the wreck occur
red is one of the shortest on the Wa
bash Valley line, and there was only
an instant after the local car was
sighted before the crash came Even
the motormen on the two cars had
not time to jump.
The scenes following the wreck
were peculiarly pathetic, as mothers
and fathers saw the mangled forms
OF children taken from the wreckage
and husband saw wife, or a wife a
husband, taken out so mangled that
Identification could be made only from
the clothing.
Physicians and nurses were rushed
to the scene Of the wreck from Fort
Wayne and other places on the line,
and many OF the injured are in hos
pitfalls. Some of them died before
medical attention could be given. and
two died while being conveyed 10
hospitals.

BRYAN BOLTS TICKET.
BREAKS FRIENDSHIP or 20 YEARS
BY REFUSAL TO AID DAHLMAN.

William Jennings Bryan annunced
at Lincoln. Neb., that he had bolted
the head of the Democratic state
ticket in Nebraska and would not sup
port James G. Dahlman, mayor OF
Omaha. for governor.
Mr.. Bryan SAYS he regrets that he
is compelled to take the stand he does
his first departure from political
regularity-but he says he feels 1t his
duty to do so because of the position
taken by the Democratic nominee on
the liquor question.
The statement does not indicate that
Mr.. Bryan will support the candidate
OF any other party but announces that
he is a pronounced advocate of the
county option and the o'clock clos
ing law, both of which he insists are
menaced by Mr.. Dahlman's candidacy.
Mr.. Bryan and Mayor Dahlman have
been political and personal friends
for 20 years and the rupture has
caused sensation in political circles.

Comprehensively reviewing the work
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic

which he has acted as its head, Com
mander-in-Chief Samuel r. Van SAINT
addressed the delegates to the forty
fourth national encampment, at At

the future good that the great organ
ization might accomplish as upon the
notable achievements of it's past.
While the roll OF the Grand Army

der-in-chief urged that every effort
be made to keep the organization up
to its fullest possible strength. He
quoted the figures showing that the
G. A. r. at the beginning of the pres

good standing, as against 100000 a!
the beginning Of 1909. The loss dur

that recruiting measures be taken

as Grand Army members.

Lansing.-The gates or Michigan
sixty-frst annual state fair were
thrown open to the people, and then
the promises and prophesies of those
who have struggled for months to
make the great exhibition a success
were fulfilled.
1t was said, a few days ago, that
this years fair would surpass any
thing of ifs kind held within the
boundaries of the Wolverine state.
The ticking ,turnstiles which counted
the number of persons who passed
within the fair grounds made good
the claims. for they counted 2S,076.
President Postal and Secretary
Hannon/ are astounded at the figures.
They declared that a modest estimate
of the afternoon crowd would be
about $4,000. BE it $4,000 or $4,000,
those who focked into the fair
grounds looked upon more than is
usually seen at state fair.
Successful aeroplane fights by
Arch Hoxsey and Welch tombstone in
Wright machines and the horse show
were the main features of the first
day of the state fair, aside from the
horse races. These events alone
brought large percentage of the
visitors to the city.
For the second time in Detroit In
his short career as an aeroplanist,
Arch Hoxsey thrilled a vast con-
course of people with his spectacular
flying. using the machine with which
Walter Brookins broke the altitude
record at Atlantic City this summer.
The climatic conditions were ex.
cellent and after working for "a
hours without sleep, the daring av-
iator braved the atmosphere in a
long fight of 20 minutes. In this he
scared and climbed to high attitudes,
cut figure Fights, turned sharp circles
and executed hair-raising deeds that
brought from the audience great ap-
plause.
Upon leaving the ground he at
once shot to a great height and per-
formed many feats which had never
been seen by Detroit's airship en-
hand, bowling to the spectators and
throwing kisses to his admirers, this
intrepid young man dived from a high
altitude directly toward the grand
stand. When only a short distance
away he elevated his planes and rose
again, just as people began to make
ready for a hasty exit.
