MICHIGAN TOWNS DESTROYED
Au Sable and Oscoda Razed and Other
 Towns Are in Great Danaer.

Detroit, Mich.-With hardly more than half a dozen houses left stand ing in the villages of Au Sable and Oscoda, with the city of Alpena fight ing disastrous fire all day. and with fires raging along the line of the De troit & Mackinac railroad from An Sable to Cheboygan and at other points in the northern part of the peninsula, heavy rain is needed to prevent a possible heavy loss of life The fires at Alpena and Oscoda were not due to forest fires, but originated in slab yards that were dry as tinder from the long drouth. At Cheboygan mountain of sawdust caught fire and the flames threatened to spread through the city The smaller towns of Metz, Millersburg and Tower. along the Detroit and Mackinac railroad, are reported to be burning, and Lew iston, Montmorency county, and Al ger and Turner in Arenac county. are said to be threatened by forest fires.
 Several lives are reported lost in various parts of the state, but this rumor is not confirmed.

TWELVE VICTIMS
 IN TRAIN CRASH
FEDERAL EXPRESS ON N. Y., N. H. 6 H. RAILROAD LEAPS A 2o-
 FOOT BEREAVEMENT.
Not One Person Inside Coach Next to Baggage Car Escapes Death
 or Injury.

Bridgeport, Conn.-Twelve battered bodies in the morgue, A sufferers in the hospitals and a mountain of junk at the foot of a 20-foot embankment at the western end of the city, tells the tale of the worst wreck in 5S years history of the New York, New Haven x Hartford railroad
 When the Federal express, bound from Washington to Boston, leaped the embankment at cross-over switch, a coach next to the baggage car was caught at the bottom of the heap and smashed into match wood. Not a person inside escaped death or injury. The five heavier Pullmans that crashed down after it held to- gether, and the sleeping passengers inside, although severely shaken for the most part suffered no worse in- juries than broken bones and bruises
 The members of the St. Louis Ma tional League baseball club were on board the wrecked train, and several of them sustained minor bruises, be- sides losing all their baggage
 One of the remarkable incidents was when the firemen cut hole in the roof of a coach which was lying on its side and man crawled out, dragging his suitcase after him. He said he not even received a scratch.

HISTORIC JOURNALS
 OF HOUSE FOUND
SECRETARY TUNNAH SAVES RECORDS NEARLY 100 YEARS
 OLD FROM JUNK PILE.
Also Journals of Famous 1864-1965 Sessions, to Ratify the Thirteenth
 Amendment to Constitution.

Little Rock-In clearing away 9 lot of old papers, printed bills, etc, in the senate committee rooms, p"e paratory to burning or otherwise dis. posing of them, Secretary Benton Tunnah, of the state cagitol commits sion, chanced upon some old state records that are of unusual historic interest to Arkansas.
 They are house journals for the foi- lowing legislative sessions: November 10 to November 21, 1929; November to November ', 1881; and for the session of 1S64-5 and the extra ses. sion" called by Governor Murphy ir 1865. It is not known just bow these old records got mixed up with current records, but it is suppose ] that it occurred in the hasty removal of books, papers, etc, from the old 10 the new capitol.
 The journal for the session of 1929, while Arkansas was yet a territory, shows that Hon. John Wilson was speaker of the house, with Daniel Rinso, chief clerk, of Little Rock.
 In the session of 1881, w. M. Trim ble was speaker, and George W FerI, bee chief clerk. John Pope was terri torial governor in 1929, and William |. Woodruff of Little Rock was public rrinter.
 The journal for 1881 records the in tro'1uCtion of bill tor the ineorpo. ration of the city of Little Rock, among other interesting entries.
 A curious fact noted in the journal Of the house proceedings in 1881 when the entry states that certain bill was read the second time, under suspension of the rules, after which the rules were further suspended and the bill read third time and passed Under the present consti. tuition, bill cannot be read three times on the same date. The old rules governing the territory of Ark ansas were evidently different
 Many interesting things are found fin the house journal for the sessions of 1S64-1S65, and particularly for tke extra session in the latter year This was about the time the "reconstrue. ton period" set in, and the tenor ot the house of representatives plainly showed that body to be ready to line ap with the reconstruetionists.

Many Special Acts; Few General.


 That the general acts of the Thirty. eighth general assembly will be com pieted and ready for distribution not later than August 31 and the special and private acts not later than Sep tember 30, was stated by Secretary or State Earle w. Hodges
 The report has gone ou,," said MT Hodges, that on account of annota- tions, etc, the acts would not be dis tributed before the first of the year, but l will state positively that they will be ready on the dates men, toned"
 For the first time in the history of the state, general and special acts will be printed in separate volumes. The course was authorized by the adoption of a concurrent resolution providing that such action be taken in the publication of all future acts. The general acts, said Mr. Hodges, number only about a third of the special acts. The volume of special acts will be as large as the entire acts of 1909, containing both special and general acts, while the general acts will make only a small volume.

Governor Donaghey takes issue with some of his friends relative to the Turner-Jaeobson revenue bill and the date it goes into effect.

The governor says, according to his views, the bill does not become law until after the expiration of the ninety days fixed by law, and has no objection whatever to it's reference to the voters at tue next general election.

PROPOSE TO SETTLE TITLE TO THE MUcH-DIsPUTED CHER.
 OkEE STRIP.
Assistant Atty. Gen. Rector Seeks to Arrange Suit Between Arkansas
 and Oklahoma.

Assistant Attorney General Henry Rector is in Fort Smith in conference with Assistant Attorney General West of Oklahoma concerning jurisdiction of the Cherokee strip" i'll the west era suburb of Fort Smith. The strip was formerly a part of the Indian Territory, but criminal jurisdiction was ceded to the state of Arkansas. later ratified by the general assembly of Arkansas and for several years this state has exercised jurisdiction. Ar kansas has also collected taxes from the inhabitants of the strip, but such action was never sanctioned by Okla homa. which claimed that the grant of congress was in violation to treaty with the Indians. Although Oklahoma has never actually resisted the collection of taxes by Arkansas, Oklahoma authorities have expressel general dissatisfaction because of the fact that the taxes did not revert to the latter state.
 MT. Rector's plan is to have the state of Oklahoma briag suit against the state of Arkansas In the United States supreme court and he is in Fort Smith with a view to agreeing, if possible, upon that plan and agree ing what shall be in the complaints, etc, the procedure of the state of Ar kansas being to file demurrer to the complaint. The question of Arkansas right to criminal jurisdiction in the strip is now pending before the United States supreme court in the case of William Bowman against the state Bowman was indicted for as- sault committed in the strip and sen- tenced to death in the Sebastian cir cult court, the judgment being con tirmed by the Arkansas supreme court His counsel, however, deny the jurisdiction of the state in the strip and on that ground have ap- pealed to the United States supreme court. Attorney General Norwood stated that the reversal or affirma- tion of the decision of the state courts by the federal court would merely g. tablish the criminal jurisdiction over the land in question, and that it's bear ing on civil jurisdiction, such as the collection of taxes, etc, was uncer- tain He is of the opinion that Mir. Rector's plan of the suit of Oklahoma against Arkansas will be successful
