MODERN BUILDINGS
RISE FROM OSCODA RUINS
Progressive Citizens Continue
Work of Rebuilding City
Swept BY Fire.

ALPENA, Mich. Nov. ll.-Four
months ago the people OF Michigan
were thrilled over the terrible dis
aster In Au Sable and Ascoda, when
fire practically wiped the twin towns
out OF existence.
While there is not much doing in
Au Sable, Oscoda has risen from the
flames remarkably well and there are
bright prospects for the future.
About rs buildings, including dozen
stores, have been erected, nearly all
substantial structures. The turpen-
tine plant is running successfully; a
foundry and machine shop is ready
to open for business, there are good
prospects for a furniture factory, and
there will be considerable numbering
operations this winter
The schools are in operation with
200 pupils and six teachers, and regu-
lar church services are also being
held
The people are cheerful optimis-
tic and ready to swear by the town.
They believe Oscoda will grow and
prosper
There is little doing in Au Sable.
About 30 small houses and one store
have been erected. The prospects are
not very bright. The LIQUIDS may re-
build the mill, but the matter is not
settled Congressman Loud and fam
lily will reside in Bay City.
There is little TO keep Au- Sable on
the map There is one school going,
with about 40 pupils, and two teach
ers, There are no churches nor any
stores. Property can be purchased for
q song, while in Oscoda real estate
values are as high or higher than be-
fore the fire
A bridge 10 connect the two towns,
replacing the one burned, will prob
ably be built this winter, There is
narrow foot.bridge now. The future
OF Oscoda seems assured
The population OF the two towns
(nearly all in Oscoda) is about 900
one-third OF that before the fire. The
publication of the Oscoda-Au Sable
Press has been resumed by Editor
VIM McGillivray His plant has been
replaced By a new outfit.

 basis for peace, which the rebel com lmissioners will submit in the confer

 Much secrecy is maintained about the contents of both documents and there is good ground for belief to- night that the questions of the resig- nations of President Diaz and Vice
 President Corral are taken up in it.
 Some pertinent questions such as the
 exact time of the presidents retire. ment are said to be contained in the document as pre- requisites to d com

 At first it was thought the infor maj and direct assurances received
 here as to President Diaz' disposi. Ition to resign might be sufficient, but radical leaders are insistent, especial ly in view of the reports of rebel mili- Itary triumphs in other parts of the Irepublic. They say the negotiations al the Madero base of operations must

 FACING JAIL
OHIO LAWMAKERS IMPLICATED IN BRIBERY REFUSED lMMU-

Court Refuses to Take Their Test. mony--Action of House Has Peculiar Aspect as to lrregu-
 Iarities.

Columbus, O., May 2.-Ohio legsfa- tors who hoped by testifyng before the grand jury now Investigating bribery in the assembly to escape conviction by means of an immunity bath were disappointed today when Prosecuting Attorney Turner and At torney General Hogan refused to ac- cept their testimony. Yesterday other
 immunity baths were headed off when an investigation by legislative com mittee was deferred until after the grand jury finishes it's work.
 Throughout the day the grand jury was in session and among its wit nesses, besides detectives, who dis closed the alleged corruption, were Governor Harmon and Judge w. z. Blair, of Portsmouth, who conducted the recent campaign which resulted in the disfranchisement of 1,S00 voters in Adams county for election frauds. A bill is pending in the assembly to iS5iSiaVt lbitii Oul ulo piSoSHL Iu dicial district and out of place on the bench. Rumors have been cur rent of wrong-doing in connection with the measure.
 Detective w. J. Burns was at the courthouse today, but did not testify The grand jury made no report to- night.
 The house calendar committee, ot which Dr. George B. Nye. one of the earlier central figures in the reported bribery disclosures, waas an active member practically went out of ex- istence today. The republican and democratic floor leaders first declared they would resign from the commit tee unless Dr. Nye and one other quit an once. The two threatened mem bers declined, but later all of the seven members, save Dr. Nye, turned in their resignations to the house. Then ensued a wrangle as to whether the house was in any way responsible for the personnel of the committee, which was named by the speaker. Tho house adjourned without deciding house adjourned without action on the resignations.
 Representative Greeves introduced 8 bill to make it mandatory upon the judges to give legislators convicted of bribery pententiary sentence. Under present statutes they ,ssn be let off with fines.
 Detective Burns today declared that Ohio assemblymen who, he alleged, had been caught in bribery traps were the biggest and boldest graftersv he had "eyer run across.
 He would not predict how many as- semblymen would be involved.
 Today it developed that the money which Dr. Nye said he had received as bribes and which had been turned over to Speaker Vining, was not in the same denominations of marked bills which the detectives declare they paid to Nye. Vining did not open the envelope which Nye turned over to him, but put the package intact in the eonee clerks safe, and it was opened in Governor Harmon's presence.
