Fight for State Coal Rights.

There Is about to be lively
contest between the Consolidated
Coal company of Saginaw and G..
f. Whitney of the same city for min
eral rights In state lands in Saginaw
county underneath which there is said
to be valuable deposits of coal. Ac-
cording to Secretary Carton of the
public domain commission, Whitney
and the corporation have both en-
tered application to purchase from
the commission the mineral rights in
some $50 city lots within the city OF
Saginaw, and other plats just outside
the city which have come into the
possession Of the state by reason OF
the non-payment Of taxes.
1t has been suggested that the state
sell these rights at public auction.
Whatever action is taken will be
more important than the disposal of
these lands, by reason of the fact that
this is the first time there has been
application made for the purchase Of
this right, and the decision Of the
commission will establish precedent
for the future policy of the state.
Secretary Carton says Whitney
alleges the coal company is mining
coal at present under some state
lands, and further asserts that the
company is endeavoring to secure a
monopoly on the fuel supply in that
section, and declares these lands are
worth $4,000 an acre because of the
coal deposits.

IN HOLD REACHES THEM.
Harbor is Filled With Uniformed
Bodies as Brave Men Die at
Their Posts; Loss of Life
is Placed at SOB.

In the most terrible disaster in
years, 56S French sailors persisted in
a series of explosions which sank
the battleship Liberte in the harbor
at Toulon. Forty others were badly
wounded, half of them probably
fatally.
Fire, originating from a short cir
cult, ignited the ammunition hold,
causing three heavy and two lesser
detonations, which broke the vessel
in two. Many of the victims are sail
ors from other warships, who were
helping fight the fire.
The dead persisted at their posts,
martyrs to discipline and duty. These
figures were contained in official dis
patches sent from Toulon to the ma
rine Office in Paris several hours af-
ter the disaster. and followed a pre-
limary investigation.
The bay was filled with uniformed
sailors, dead and dying, some of
whom We're picked up by other ships,
while many others sank 10 their
death.

of armor plate was hurled against
the cruiser Republique with great
force, damaging her plates. Scores
of bodies were hurled high into the
air, with huge fragments of frame
work, armor, bursting shells and the
suffocating smoke from the exploded
magazines.
On the first explosion the men
rushed from their quarters and a
hundred or more sought safety in
plunging overheard. But the great
body Of men, officers and crew re-
NAMED on the ship and were hurled
high in the air or into the water as
the eliminating explosion tore the
ship into fragments.

Asks Pay for injured.

Asks Pay Tor injured.
That the accident insurance COM
panies and the lawyers who hunt
up personal injury damage suits
are both leeches on the body polite,
and that the state ought to be in
hurry to establish an employers liabil-
ity and workmen's compensation act
was the gist of an address delivered
by r. l.. Drake, Detroit, before the
state convention of the Federation Of
Labor at Battle Creek.
Mr.. Drake Is secretary of the CON-
mission appointed by the governor to
investigate industrial accidents in the
state and report to the next legisla-
ture Its recommendation for a new
law. 1t was plain to see what kind Of
a law Drake thinks ought to be passed
one that will compel settlement with
all injured workmen without having
any law suits-settlements that will
compensate for injuries received. 1t
Is plain to see he wants the state to
go into the accident insurance bust
ness and run it at cost for both en-
ployer and employee.
THE employer invariably thinks
that if he could take the money that
now goes to the liability insurance
companies and give it to the injured,
a great wrong would be righted,"
avered the speaker.
when a workman receives an in
jury, owing to the fact that II he
elects to sue he invariably sacrifices
his position and jeopardises his
chances for a livelihood when he re-
covers. If he takes without contest
what the insurance company elects to
give him, he must take such a small
amount that, aside probably from his
Doctors bills, all the burden of his
accident is borne by himself and
family.
THE time is not far distant when
the workman will no longer produce
all of the worlds wealth and bear all
of its burden unaided.
There is great economic waste. as
evidenced by the enormous profits
yearly accruing to the accident insur-
ance companies, which burden is borne
by the employer, and the profits &C.
CURED by the lawyer who makes a
speciality Of personal injury cases.
There is not much to choose between
the two. They are both leeches on the
Industrial world and get the cream,
while the contending parties must be
satisfied with skim milk
IF it is necessary for the employers
of the state to devote annually large
sums of money to protect themselves
against their liability because Of in
dustrial accidents, let us at least see
that just proportion of it is turned
into the channels of justice, so that In
the end It will reach the deserving,
those men who are injured in the per-
Torrance of their daily labor"

Dies in Flames at His BipIane Burns

Whirling about in midair, his body
ablaze, Frank Miller, a Cleveland av-
iator, was burned to death and drop
ped to- the ground in the sight Of
thousands Of spectators at the Miami
county fair at Troy near Piqua, 0.
Miller had just commenced a fight
around the fair grounds about 200
feet from the ground in his biplane.
AS he made a final swoop toward
his landing place there was a blind
ing fash and his gasoline tank eX-
ploded. A twist of the steering
wheel sent the plane up in the air
and then Miller lost control and the
flaming gasoline enveloped him. Like
a shot out of cannon the aviator
and machine dropped to the ground.
Miller was dead, his machine consum-
ed by flames.
Dare Devil Castellane, an await
or, fell to instant death at the Mans
field Pa, fair. He had started in
an exhibition fight and when three
quarters of a mile from the ground
his machine careened, turned turtle
and fell on hillside. Castellane
was found buried beneath the wreck
age Of his engine and plane. His
wife witnessed the fatality.

May Adopt New System.

Information Is In the hands Of the
special commission studying the tax
alton problem in this state, which
shows that the corporations of Mich
igan are not paying their proportion
Of taxes, IL their valuation is deter
mined by using the income they earn
on the stocks and bonds issued. Sta
tistics are said to be in the hands of
the commission which will show that
only small percentage Of the tangi-
BILE and intangible value of these
companies Is placed on the tax rolls
when compared with the valuation
placed on real estate for taxation pur-
poses. This information will furnish
an important feature Of the recon-.
mendation by the commission that
the state abandon the present taxa
ton system and divide state and local
taxes, general property bearing the
local tax and corporations paying the
state tax, aided by an excise tax on
liquor and an increased inheritance
tax.

Der 1. The Idea of a cooperative
store within the prison walls was Gre
ated by Warden Simpson shortly az
ter he assumed charge OF affairs at
Jackson prison. 1t had always been
customary for inmates to make their
purchases down town, which necessi-
tated great deal of trouble, besides
the payment OF large price for their
goods. Mr.. Simpson advanced $1,000
and q cooperative store was started.
All kinds of goods that would be
found In any first-class grocery store
were placed in stock and sold to the
inmates at practically cost, there be-
ing added but small margin OF profit
to make good the money borrowed.
The new store proved immensely
popular with the inmates, and 1t has
enjoyed thrifty trade.
The bills payable but not yet ma
tured amount to S616.55, according to
the statement compiled by Clerk
Neesley, and there Is sS05.50 in the
bank, leaving balance of $1SS.50,
besides paying the borrowed capital
ami paying all other expenses. The
stock OF the store is worth about
$4,000 and the store has made over
$4,000 in the seven months 1t has
been in existence. Following the in
ve1tory which will take place October
1, a further reduction in the price OF
goods will be made, so that they will
be sold at practically wholesale prices.
