Here's one OF Walter Kelly's dog

but 1t comes from a friend Of his, so
it's probably all right, says the Cleve-

1t seems that Kelly left town on a
business trip some time ago, and left
his blue.ribbon dogs in the care of
man who was supposed to know all
about dogs. In about a week this man
wrote that one of the dogs had deVel-

wired back as follows.

BY Gurd M. Hayes.1

Lansing, Mich.-The day when state
JfFicials of Michigan derive a big in
come from the fee system has gone,
and in all probability it will never re-
turn. Insurance Commissioner John
Winship realizes this, as during the
past year he turned into the state
treasury $5,243.44, which under the old
aw, insurance commissioners were en-
itled to place in their own pockets, in
addition to the salary of $4,000 per
year paid by the state.
Now the insurance commissioner re-
ceives straight salary Of $4,000 per
year and all the fees are turned into
the general fund of the state treasury.
For many years James V. Barry re-
ceived both a salary and fees, and it
was not until Barry resigned that
many people knew just how much the
Office really paid.
Shortly after Osborn was elected
governor in 1910, Barry resigned as
insurance commissioner and former
Governor Warner, placed NJ. o. Row.
land, who had been deputy for a num-
Der of years, at the head of the office
Rowland, was informed, however, that
his tenure of office would be short
as the Osborn administration had
picked C. A. (Puss) Palmer for the
job.
Then it became known that the Of
fee paid about $4,000 per year in fees
addition to the regular salary of ST.
600 per year and the Legislature of
1911 promptly cut off the fees and in
creased the salary of the commission
er to $500 However, Palmer re-
ceived some of the fees before the new
law took effect, but he was the last
one to benefit in this regard.
Insurance Commissioner Winship
says that the salary should be at
least $1,000 per year, but he would
not favor a return to the fee system
as he says that all fees should go d.
rect 20 the state.

WRECK NEAR JACKSON KILLS
FIVE OUTRIGHT AND IN
JURES MANY.
BAGGAGE CAR AND DAY COACH
ARE TELEscoPED.
Night to Release Passengers
Piniohed in the
Wreckage.

Jackson. Michigan Central
passenger train No. 20. due from Bay
City here at 1905 Sunday night, met
head-on three miles north of Jackson
a freight train which left here at
$50.
Five persons were killed outright
and a score or more injured, some Of
them fatally.
The wreck occurred near the cross
ing OF the NJ. c. with the Grand Trunk,
known as the NJ. A. l.. crossing.
Railroad officials state the wreck
was probably due to a misunderstand-
ing Of train orders.
The first news of the wreck came
over the phone from a. farmer. who
was too excited to tell his name to
the police
A special train with doctors was
quickly made up and sent to the scene
An interurban on the NJ. u. r.
brought in the first load OF injured.
1t was a special sent as relief from
Lansing.
Many persons at / a. m. were still
pinioned in the wreckage and on &C
count of darkness. the work of res
cue was very slow.
The impact Of the collision tele-
scoped the baggage car and a day
coach, and all the passengers in the
latter were either killed or injured.
Every available ambulance in the
city was put in commission. One
took FIVE to the City hospital another
three and the police, after midnight,
assisted in caring for several more.

Music has its charms, but not for
dent board, and in order to escape
the noise of the bass drum in the
Bijou orchestra, Secretary Drake in
formed the board of state auditors
that the board would like to locate it's
quarters in the new Tussing building
where larger and more luxurient of
fees can be secured at an increase of
s400 per year.
Since the industrial accident board
began operations a year and a half
ago, the Offices of the commission have
been located on the top floor of the
Oakland building. The game war
denis Office and the Office of the state
railroad commission are also located
in the Oakland building. The stage
of the Bijou theatre is directly under
the consultation room of the accident
board and the noises during matt
nee performance are very noticeable
according to Secretary Drake. Game
Warden Oates once complained of the
noise, but has not demanded change
in quarters.
In capitol circles the industrial &C
cident board is regarded as a very
august body and there is a general
feeling that its deliberations should
not be interrupted by the noise of a
bass drum, even If it does cost $500
more each year to eliminate the Of
Tending sound. However, the noise
of the drum is not the only reason
advanced by Secretary Drake for max
ing a change. He says the board
needs more room. In an informal
conference Secretary Drake and d.
w. Tussing, owner of the Tussing
building submitted a proposition to
the board of auditors recently.
Tussing favored a five year lease at a
yearly rental of $1,000 per year. The
state is paying $1,000 per year for Of
fees OF the accident board in the
Oakland building. Inasmuch as there
Is a possibility that a new state block
will be erected some time in the flu
ture the auditors will not favor a
lease extending for more than a year.
State Offices are now located in five
buildings outside the capitol and
strangers declare that a guide is nee
essary TO locate all the Offices.

oils, in his presentment of the case,
did not ask for indictments on the
KIDNAPPING charge, stating that the
Michigan statutes on kidnapping could
not be made to apply because it could
not be shown that Meyer and his
companion, Charles Tanner, were re-
strained against their will and be-
cause they were left to their own de-
vices on the train before it reached
the state line.
The grand jury is through with the
Meyer case, but the men named are
liable to charges of assault in JUS

Twenty-seven witnesses were exam

deliberated over 1t for two days.
The impossibility of getting wit

The Governor is Taken
for a Travelling Man

Lansing, Mich.-Governor Wood
bridge N. Ferris is enjoying some
unique experiences in his quiet
trips around the state, visiting
state institutions without first
sending word that he is coming.
He arrived in Hillsdale on the ev-
ening train from Lansing on his
way to Coldwater He climbed
into the bus at the depot with the
travelling men and registered at
the Smith hotel. The clerk thought
he was a travelling man and paid
no further attention to him.
He ate supper with number of
the travelling men and during the
conversation the copper strike was
discussed. 1t was not until the
governor started telling some of
his personal experiences in the
strike district recently that his
identity was discovered.
