FAKE MAGAZINE AGENTS
ARE sWMDLNG PUBLIC
Remedy Lies In Placing Orders
with Newsdealers.

The attention of the public is again
called to the numerous agents working
throughout Michigan, soliciting orders
for magazines and collecting money in
advance. A bulletin of discharge OF
criminal agents, pulished by the Period
ical Publishers Associotion of Amer
lea, contains list of about 500 names
of persons who have been operating in
various states, and a reward SIS each
is offered for their arrest and convic-
ton. A number of local people have
been victimized, and the remedy lies
wholly in the hands of the public by
placing their. orders with their near
est newsdealer, who will make de-
livery to the home or Office on the date
the magazines are published, or will
take their subscriptions for any maga-
zine desired, 90 that it is not necessary
to patronixe strangers who are usually
frauds.
One of the advantages in ordering
through 4 newsdealer Is that instead
of subscriber paying for year in
advance to strangers, he can pay his
newsdesler weekly or monthly, as the
magazine is delivered and the order
may be changed with the newsdealer
rs often rs desired, whereas If supplied
by subscription the same publication
must come for the entire year.

TO WATCH CHANGES.
Scientists Expect Panama Canal to
Affect Animal Life.

Washington, April 3.-Encouraging
reports are being received by the
Smithsonian institution from the vari-
Gus natura1iSts who are taking part in
the biological survey of the Panama
canal zone, which was organized by the
institution last winter. All the prin-
cipal branches of natural history are
represented in the party, which COM
prises seven experienced field natural
lists, nearly all of them from the va
rious scientific bureaus of the govern
ment
Naturalists throughout the world are
greatly interested in this biological sur
vey, because when the canal is opened,
sweeping changes probably will take
place in the distribution Of the animals
and plants. A part of the fresh wa
ter streams of the isthmus now empty
into the Atlantic ocean and others into
the Pacific. It is known that a GER

SCHOOL BOARD FIGHT.
Statement of Reforms Accomplished
by Present Board.

The school board contest is becoming
quite as exciting as the contest for
mayor and city commissioners. The
fact that there is no salary connected
with the office has no effect.
The contest is on the old members of
the school board. The opponents of the
board have not outlined platform but
the reform measures adopted by the
board are undoubtedly the objects of
attack. The board members under the
signature of the president have issued
a resume of what has been done and
what is expected to be done toward the
Improvement of the schools. The state
ment follows:
To the Voters of the City:
The members of The school board, who
are serving their first term and are
nominees for reelection, Mrs. Evans,
and Messrs. Kutz, Lindell and Swend-
son, were elected and pledged to carry
out certain reforms, as follows:
Ffrst-To abolish the practice of al
lowing members Of the board to fur
nish material and contract with the
board on public school work. This mas
been accomplished.
Second-To properly adjust the insur-
and compel the insurance companies to
carry out their contracts with the
School board. This has been done and
nearly $1,000 in overpaid premiums have
been returned to the school treasury.
Third-To establish a more business

fer from those of the Pacific side, but
as no biological survey has ever been
undertaken, the extent and magnitude
of these differences have yet to be
learned. 1t also is of great importance
to science to determine exactly the
geographical distribution of the varf-
Gus organisms inhabiting these waters,
as the isthmus is one of the routes by
which the animals and plants of South
America have entered North America
and vice versa
When the canal is completed, the
natural distinctions now existing will
be obliterated. while by the construc-
ton of the Gatun dam a vast fresh
water lake will be created, which will
drive away or drown the majority of
the animals and plants now inhabit-
ing the locality and might possibly ex-
terminate some species before they be-
come known to science

FEARS JAP INVASION.
King of Loyalty Islands Asks England
for Protection.

Victoria. B. c., April 3.-Fears of in
vasion by the Japanese are maintained
by the newspapers of the Antipodes,
according to advices received yesterday
by the Makura. w. ]. Watriams, king
of the Loyalty islands, has addressed
petitions both to Greet Britain and
F-ench officials, asking that a protec-
torate be declared over the islands to
prevent them being secured by Japan.
The king writes that Japanese are
crowding into New Caledonia and have
installed a wireless station in the LoY-
atty islands. He says he fears the
Japanese are preparing a base that
could be used as a base for an attack
on Australia.

CHINESE STUDY HERE.
In American Colleges $50 CeIestials

New York, April Sex hundred

TO WASH THE COAL.
Kansas University Students to See II
This Adds Heat.

Lawrence, KAN, April "a coal
testing machine, to determine the
heating properties of coal marketed in
Kansas, will be installed soon in the
department of mining engineering at
the University of Kansas. 1t is de-
signed primarily for the benefit of the
fuel users in the state
The coal washing process will be
used. The work will be done in part
by students of the engineering depart
ment under the supervision of Prof.
C. M. Young. 1t is hoped to have the
entire plant ready for operation by the
first of July. This will be the third
plant of its kind to be installed in
universities in the United States. the
other plants being at Ohio State and
Alabama universities.
The machine is used for testing coal
to see if its heat efficiency can be
raised by washing. Washing removes
all the shale from the raw product
The machine also Is practical in the
| washing of the different ores. Tests
of coal of the various state mines will
] be made.

BOOSTS LAUNDRY BILLS.
Not Trust, But Chicago Coal Smoke
Is to Blame.

Chicago, April 3.-The smoke nuis-
ance is responsible for an annual fin
ancial loss to citizens of Chicago of
$17,600,O00, or IS per capita in the
matter of extra laundry and clean
ing, according to a report made to
Mayor Busse yesterday by Paul P
Bird, in charge of the department of
smoke inspection.
The report says:
Fully one-half of the dirt caused
by soft coal smoke comes from steam
locomotives. Neither by the use of
smoke devices nor by the use of fuels
can the smoke from a steam locomo-
tive be reduced very much below the
point already achieved by the roads
who are doing their best.
THE conclusion is, therefore, that
electrification offers the only final
and satisfactory solution of the rail-
way smoke problem"

Miss Sarah Padden, who will be seen
here tonight at the Grand as Annie
Jeffries in 1.-The Third Degree has
won the reputation of being able to
commit the lines of a part faster than
any other actress in the world. This
ability has stood her in stead so often
and has been so frequently demonstra-
ted that members of the profession"
have nicknamed her Paddy, the Line
Eater" Her first chance came when
she was understanding Laura Hope
Crews, leading woman for Otis Skinner
in 1.-The Duel.'' Miss Crews failed to
appear on time one night and Mr.. Skin
ner told Miss Padden she would have
to go on and play the role of Elizabeth
Hamilton. She learned the part in an
hour and made good. Helen Ware,
the original Annie Jeffries in THE
Third Degree was taken suddenly i'll
with tonsilitis one night just before
the performance. Paddy was hunted
up and given the part. With less than
an hours study she went on and gave
such a fine performance that the next
morning she was given five years

G. A. r. Men Incorporate to Educate
Younger Generation.

Chicago, April 3.-Chicago veterans
of the Civil war have formed an or
ganization for instruction in patriotism
The organization has been incorpor-
ated as the Grand Army National Bu-
reau of Patriotic instruction.
1.-THE new society plans to teach the
youth patriotism by giving them ready
access to famous patriotic speeches,
songs and by acquainting them with
some of the patriotic deeds which
abound in the history of this country,
said James F. Seaman, one of the in
corporators, yesterday. I'VE aim to
transmit some of the patriotic tradi-
tions of this country in their most
vital form to the younger generation.
He added that the Chicago veterans
hoped the next national encampment
would take the project up and make
it national in scope.
