governor JOHNSON
TOURS MICHIGAN
ROOSEvElT'S RUNNING MATE
STARTS MICHIGAN CAMPAIGN
IN DETROlT-ENDS IN
GRAND RAPIDS.
MET AT DEPOTS AT VARIOUS
STOPS IN GooDLY CROWDS.
Declares Campaign of This Year to
Be One Of the Greatest Ever
Held In the United
States.

Nearly 5000 people of Michigan
Saturday caught their first sight of
Hiram w. Johnson, the fighting gov
ernor" of California and Bull Moose
candidate for vice-president.
The conventional "rear-end" spe-
cial train tour of presidential cam
the nemesis of the Southern Pacific
was given his introduction to Mich
igan people and the brief speeches he
made bore out the impression that
he is fighter; one of the cool, calm
kind who say things deliberately and
dispassionately and mean very much
what they say. And when he talks
about red blood fighting the battle Of
human rights" he doubles up his fists
and assumes what Is almost a ring
pose.
From Detroit across the state to
Kalamazoo. and then UP to Grand
Rapids, extended the days trip.
Johnson is a stranger In Michigan
and there was nothing in the hero
worship attitude to his audiences.
They were earnestly attentive, but
not demonstrative, and at only few
stops was he given applause upon
being introduced. There were few at
tempts at handshaking.
The Grand Rapids meeting, where
1000 persons heard him, was the ef-
fort Of the day, and here he was
greeted with the first demonstrative
enthusiasm of the day although Kali
amazoo warmed up to him in good
shape At all stops his speeches
were much the same and 1t was evil
dent that he WIS carefully conserving
his voice and nervous energy for the
evening meeting. Direct attack on
Taft and the Republican national con-
vention was made only occasionally.

Engine Blows Up-Fireman Killed.

A steam coil of Michigan Central
engine exploded at Niles and killed
the fireman, c. II. Murrell, Of Jack
son. The engine was running at 40
miles an hour. Engineer Carl Parr
and Dennis Cahill, ALSO of jackson,
were seriously injured. After the
explosion Murrell leaped from the en-
CINE, his head striking a rail. The
engineer crawled from his cab and
hung from the outside of the tender
until he became exhausted and fell
into ditch. One shoulder was dis
located and his face badly bruised
and burned. The engine sped over
the rails without a pilot until two
miles east of Niles, when 1t went
dead. His skull fractured and bleed
ing from his nose and mouth, Cahill
succeeded in signaling a passenger
train on the other track. He was un-
conscious when picked up. The en-
CINE was brought to Niles, where
government inspectors will conduct
an investigation Murrell leaves a
family.

The laboratories for the free soil
test at the Michigan State Fair, De-
troit, Sept. 16 to Fl inclusive, will be

under the grandstand.
The Michigan Agricultural College
has detailed Prof. c. II. Spurway, in
structor In the soils department, and
Prof. Kedzie, of the chemical depart
ment, to take charge of the soil tests.
The NJ. A. c. has written to the Michi-
gan State Fair management asking
that application for soil tests be sent

know just exactly, or as near as pos
sible, the amount of work which will
be REQUIRED.
Additional representatives of the
M. A. c. will be In attendance to any
desired number to take care of the
work.
The farmers of the state of Michi-
gan have been asked to bring their
soils for testing and as no charge will
be made for this valuable feature Of
the fair, 1t is thought that there will
be thousands of these tests to make

Executive Realizes Grave Nature Of
the Situation, But His Eye Re-

President Taft has authorized the

tional regiments of cavalry to the
Mexican border.

and the other from Fort d. A. Rus

Maj.-Gen. Wood. chief of staff of

two additional regiments of cavalry
should be sent into Texas without

proved the plan Of the war depart.
ment in transferring the additional
troops to the border.
Situation at Acute Stage.
According to information forwarded
to the president by the state and war
departments, the situation in Mexico
is most serious. Mr.. Taft is opposed
to Intervention except as last re-
sort 1t is admitted, however, that
conditions in Mexico have become
worse in the last few weeks, and IL
the Madero government Is unable to
check the attacks on Americans and
foreigners, the United States proba-
bly, will be compelled to intervene.
Under the Monroe doctrine this
government would oppose interven-
ton by a foreign government and
for this reason the duty of requiring
the Mexican government to furnish
proper protection falls upon the Uni.
ted States.
Intervention Draws Near.
Although President Taft will not
intervene in Mexico without the full
est elaboration upon step that
would mean war. his friends declared
that intervention is nearer than 1t
has been since the first American
troops were rushed to the border Is
months ago.
