Dreadnouehts at Coronation.

The naval review by King George
at Spithead, June "a, two days after
the coronation, will see gathered to-
gether in full commission the larg-
est number of vessels Of the dread
nought class ever assembled. Most
Of them naturally will be units of the
British navy, but the United States
will be represented by the most pow
erful and up-to-date battleship partic-
ipating in the review, the Delaware,
which is considered in naval circles
to typify the latest ideas of battle
ship construction. The system adopt
ed in her case of placing the five tur-
rets in a single line is being followed
in all the new battleships of the Brit
ish fleet now under construction.
There are to be no fewer than ten
battleships of the dreadnought class
brought into line on the review day.

NEW PRIME MINISTER OF CHINA
Prince Ching le Known as Crafty,
Evasive and inefficient Official.

Prince Ching, recently made prime
minister Of China, with cabinet min
istry. ostensibly to assist MIN, is one
of China's newest, largest problems.
The cabinet succeeds the ancient
grand council" which is abolished
by the substitution.
Prince Ching has been for years the
most conspicuous and the most no
torious figure in China. The story of
his life is the story of China for the
past 27 years-the story of the most
disastrous experience in the history
of the empire. From those disasters
China is now emerging chastened and
strengthened; her future, under new
methods OF government, is rich with
promise. Whether constitutional de-
velopment can be guided satisfactor-
lily by a decrepit Old man. irresolute,
willy, corrupt. and inefficient, is a
question which may be disputed.

Food Chemist to Return to State.

'
Floyd W. Robson. former state
analyst In dairy and food department.
who is now connected in a similar
capacity with the federal service, will
shortly return to Michigan and be-
come director of the dairy and food
department OF the Detroit testing
laboratory. Mr.. Robson became
prominent as food chemist during
his service for the state owing to his
ability in proving authorizations in
many foodstuffs which the manufac-
turers believed could not be detected.
He also served as expert witness for
the federal government in many of
its most important adulteration cases
and was generally considered an ex.
ceptionally efficient public servant in
driving various adulterations out of
the market.
He is well known throughout the
state because of his activity in trac-
ing spurious products, as we'll as his
lectures before farmer organizations
relative to matters of interest to
them. 1t is not understood that he
will sever entirely his connection with
the federal service, but, will, in his
work in Michigan endeavor to aid
manufacturers to comply with the law
rather than show them how they may
evade the law

To Care for Homeless Children.

Under new laws the states
supervision over neglected, home
less and dependent children prom
ises to be much more efficient and Sec
retary NJ. T. Murray of the state board
Of corrections and charities expects ul-
timately to work out a system by
which state officers will keep in touch
with every one of these friendless lit
tie ones until their future is definitely
arranged.
The new laws require reports from
county agents and probation officers
relative to all cases coming under
their jurisdiction, and it is made man
datory that institutions placing out
children, first secure the approval OF
county agents of the proposed home,
and the agents must make reports to
the board relative to the treatment OF
the children.
Under another law the day of plac-
ing minors in county jails is at an end.
AS revised by the legislature. coun-
ties are prohibited from using
lockups as detention places for chill
dren, and must provide families to
take charge of the minors, or provide
detention building especially for
them. AS the statute makes it a mis-
demeanor for any person to violate
the act, 1t is not believed that any
municipal or county official will take
chance on disobeying it's terms.
Reports coming in indicate that the
vigorous campaign which Secretary
Murray has waged during the past
year against decrepit, insanitary and
crowded almshouses, is having effect.
Two trips to most Of the counties OF
the state were made by the secretary
during the year in prodding county
officials to remedy conditions at their
county infirmaries, many Of which
were buildings of a character hardly
6t for stables, to say nothing Of their
use as names for aged and infirm per-
sons. Not all counties are included in
the category, of course, but many are.
Since then, however, Secretary Muir
ray has received notice of the erection
of new infirmaries In three counties
and plans for Improvements and addi-
tions at several others.

STATE WILL SECURE
TAX ON MORTGAGES
AUDITOR GENERAL FULLER DE.
CLARES EVERY CENT WILL eE
TURNED IN.
MORE WORK AND NO PAY
County Treasurers Are Not Pleased
With the New Law, Because II Con-
tains No Provision for Com
pensation for Extra Service

Lansing.-Auditor General Fuller
is of the opinion the state will Sc
cure practically every cent coming
to it under the new law providing for
specific tax on mortgages.
He states that the provisions of the
bill are such that holders Of snort
cages must necessarily pay their
taxes, pointing to the clauses which
require the holders to have a certifi-
cate from county treasurers showing
that the tax has been paid, before
they can either cancel the mortgage
or foreclose one.
County treasurers are not so well
pleased as they right be with the new
law, in view of the fact that it con-
tains no provision for compensation
for the extra service they are called
upon to perform. The law requires
them to furnish an affidavit of the
payment of the tax, in the case of
mortgages at present in force. the
owners of which wish to pay the spe-
cific tax in order to avoid paying the
ad valorem tax. There is also the
certificate to issue for all mortgages
on which the tax is paid, and the tax
money to handle and remit one-half
to the state.
Several treasurers have written to
the auditor general asking him to ad-
wise them relative to their compensa-
tion, but he has not been able to re-
ply with an assurance of plethoric
fees. Plans are being worked out by
the auditing department for account
ing for the tax. system is pro-
posed under which the treasurer will
record the tax on a book containing
a carbon copy sheet, and this sheet
will be forwarded to the auditor gen
eral with each months collection

VOLCANOES ADD TO
MEXICAN DISASTER
DEVASTATED FROM COAST TO
COAST AND THE PEOPLE
WILD WITH TERROR.
THE DEATH ROLL NUMBERS FAR
MORE THAN FIRST REPORTS.
Volcanoes Are in Eruption and Lava
Flows From the Eelchins
Craters.

From coast to coast Mexico is de-
vastated by the earthquake, and to
add to the terror of the inhabitants
the volcanoes Coima and Popocata-
petl are now in full eruption. Great
cones of smoke hover over the craters
and lava pours down their sides into
cities and towns.
The death list, placed now at 1.45G,
is growing, and word is yet to be re-
ceived from the isthmus of Tehuante-
pee, which was shaken from end to
end.
The famous floating gardens of the
Montezumas, situated on an island
in Lake Xochimilco, are no more.
Gardens, homes, inhabitants, island
and all are sunken beneath the sur
face Of the lake. How many victims
were claimede by the earthquak
there no one can say. but compare
lively few if any of the natives are
believed to have escaped The inhab-
itants of this island are direct de-
scendants of the Aztecs and of pure,
unmixed blood. They raised and sold
nearly all the flowers and vegetable
for the markets of Mexico City. Now
they and their homes and their prod
ucts are no more.
The list of casualties is pouring in
to Mexico City from Tacula, Tacaba-
va, San Angle, Zacapotzalco, Tlalpam,
Pinon and all places in the immediate
vicinity of the capital. The port of
Manzanillo, state of Colima, that cost
$14,000,000 to build, is badly dam
aged Twenty-Five persons were kill
ed there No Americans were killed
or injured by the earthquake in Mex
leo.
The volcano Colima, the center Of
the seismic disturbance, is one of the
most troublesome of the Mexican vol
canoes. 1t is situated in the southern
part of the state of Jalisco and is 12,-
27S feet high History mentions vio-
lent eruptions dating back to the six
teenth century. Since the summer of
1859 the volcano, with the exception
of few brief periods of quiescence,
has been in a disturbed state. The
eruption of 1896 produced a strong
earthquake which did much damage.
The eruptions of 1902 and 1909 were
spectacular, but less devastating.

Railroad Board Sits in Alpena.

The three members of the state
railroad commission, C.. l.. Glasgow,
G. w. Dickinson and Lawton w.
Hemans, arrived at Alpena and are
holding court in the city hall coun-
Gil chamber in the case of the Churchill
Lumber company against the Detroit
& Mackinac Railway company.
Several weeks ago the lumber COM
pany secured an injunction in the
Alpena circuit court compelling the
railroad to switch log trains in the
local yards on track next to the
river, where the logs could be most
easily unloaded for conveyance to the
Churchill mill. The injunction was is
sued pending a final. hearing in the
case before the railroad commission.
The railroad meanwhile applied to the
supreme court for an order for the
circuit judge to show cause why q
writ of mandamus should not be is
sued. compelling him to release the
railroad from the Injunction This
order was denied.
All the head officials of the rail-
road and many prominent lumbermen
are attending the hearing, which
promises to continue several days as
only one witness. President Kimball
of the lumber company. was heard.

Sale of Firearms Is Up to States.

II is up to the individual states to
keep revolvers and other dangerous
arms out of the hands of boys. ac.
cording to Republican and Demo
cratic leaders in congress.
In their opinions the federal gov.
ernment might restrict the shipping
of firearms in interstate commerce to
some extent, but not enough to make
it any less easy for minors to obtain
the weapons.
If the boy thug is to be suppressed
by depriving minors Of the opportun.
ity of obtaining arms, say these
statesmen. the only certain way to
effect that result is for the states to
enforce rigid prohibition of sales to
children. Over traffic in weapons
within state borders the government
