SCHOOL GETS BIG
SUM FROM STATE
Per Capita Rate of $11.7O
Gives Owosso $4O,95O:
Corunna $3.50

Based on a per capita rate of
$11.70 per child, Owosso will receive
$40,95O from the State of Michigan
this year, it has been announced by
Thomas E. Johnson, state superin-
tendent of public instruction. Corun-
ma will receive approximately $3.50
The total amount collected for the
fund, from railroads, utility COM
panies and other sources, was $12,-
037, ,036. There are approximately
1,020,704 children of school age in
the state.
The apportionment does not ex-
actly coincide with the number of
children and the total amount be-
cause of some deficiencies and sur
pluses in various districts, from last
year.
There are about $500 school chill
dren in this district and about SOC
in the Corunna district.

PLAN TO OPERATE
6-MILECREEK MINE
Lansing and Chicago Men
Capitalize at $35O,OOO; Ex-
pect 500 Tons Daily

With the purpose of taking over
and operating the coal mine at Six
Mile, creek on basis of 500 tons
daily, c. E. Fritz of Lansing, and
q. H. Babson of Chicago, have an
nounced the formation of a company
capitalized at $35O,OOO.
The men appeared before the
Michigan Securities Commission on
Thursday and were granted permis-
sion to sell their stock without the
commission requiring them to place
any of it in escrow.
The new company has purchased
the mine from M. A. Cobb of Battle
Creek and Guy A. Crane of this city,
both of whom will be on the board
of directors Of the new company tenn
porarily.
1t is planned to start work at the
mine Immediately. The mine has
been idle for some months and is
now filled with water but the ma
chinery has all been brought to the
surface and is in good condition. Ne
gotiations will be started at once with
the Consumers Power Co. for the
building of high tension power line
to the mine, that it may be electri-
fed. The present buildings will be
repaired and used for the time, but
it is planned to erect new modern
buildings next summer.
A feature of the hearing before
the securities commission Thursday
was the appearance before that body
of G. E. Smith, state geologist, who
told the commission that without a
doubt, the mine was of the best coal
mining property in the state, and that
there was an almost inexhaustible
supply of coal of excellent quality
there.
The company plans to start oper-
ations' as soon as the present coal
strike is over, and aims to supply
Owosso with coal for industrial and
domestic use. 1t is pointed out that
even though the coal strike and the
railroad strike should be settled to-
day.. sRhre would be a great shortage
of coal, and that the opening of this
mine will furnish a source of sup
ply that will protect Owosso con-
sumers against coal famine. 1t is
also pointed out that Michigan is al
ways the hardest hit in times of coal
shortage, due to the discriminatory
freight rates, but that with a coal
mine at its door, Owosso need not
suffer.
The stock will be sold mostly to
outside investors, it is thought.

OWOSSO.FLINT PAVEMENT
FINISHED NEARLY TO KERRY

Completion of the Flint -Owosso
pavement between the east city lin.
its of Owosso to point one and one
half miles this side of Kerby was
effected Thursday night, according
to a statement of the officials of the
paving company, and traffic for light
trucks and touring cars will be ad-
mitted by the opening Of the county
fair, August 22. Heavy trucks will
have to enter the fair grounds by the
Oliver street entrance.
The pavement from the Owosso
city limits to the state road will all
be opened by fair time.
The company has already begun to
move it's equipment to Kerby, pre-
paratory to starting work there as
soon as they finish near Owosso. A
second concrete machine will start
at the same time from the east end
Of the job, and work towards Owosso.
Gravel and cement will be supplied
from Lennon for this machine, while
the supplies for the second machine
will be secured from Kerby.
1t is estimated that the pavement
will be all finished in so more working
days. Since July 5, the company has
averaged 585 feet of concrete daily,
with one machine. The pavement is
1S feet wide, instead of 20, the width
OF the Corunna avenue pavement.

and Four Others
Killed

Crushed and burned in a collision
with an interurban car Sunday near
Royal Oak, Miss Marie Flanagan, IT.
years old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Flanagan, Summit avenue,
was killed almost instantly.
The four other victims of the same
accident were John w. Murphy, his
two little boys, James, A, and John
Jr., and Mrs. Josephine Gay, So, a
sister of Mrs. James Flanagan, all of
Detroit. Mr.. Murphy was the hus-
band of the late Mrs. Alice Flanagan
Murphy, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Flanagan, who died two years
ago.
The party was bound for Orchard
Lake for an outing when the stimuli
taneous approach of large truck
carrying automobile bodies, touring
car which attempted to pass the
truck, and southbound Pontiac
local car caught Murphy in a pocket
from which there was no escape.
Just as Murphy, driving north.
was about to pass the southbound
truck, speeding touring car whose
driver is now being sought, swung
alongside the truck in an attempt to
pass it, blocking Murphy's roadway.
In an attempt to avoid head-on
collision with the touring car, Muir
ply turned to the right, upon the
raised right-of-way of the interur-
ban, and squarely in front of the
speeding Pontiac car.
So terrific was the impact that
Murphy's car was crumpled like an
egg shell, the motor bursting into
flames instantly, the front end of the
car containing Murphy and Mrs. Gay.
being broken off, blazing, while the
rest of the automobile wreckage was
rolled before the trolley car for near
ly 200 feet and then flung on the
north-bound track.
Murphy, Mrs. Gay and James F.
Murphy were dead when Motorman
Ogden and Conductor Samuel Fisher
of Pontiac reached the wreckage.
Miss Flanagan and James Murphy,
who were carried down the track with
part of the wreckage, were still
breathing when picked up, but died
as they were being taken to Birming-
ham.
Mr.. Murphy, who was a prominent
resident of st. Vincent's parish, had
been in business at Twelfth and
Baker streets for many years.
Miss Fligan had secured a position
two weeks ago with the Dixon Visi-
bic Co., as stenographer, and was to
have drawn her first pay today. A
letter written by her on July 6, to
her father, said that her uncle was
going to take them all for ride, on
Sunday. She was particularly
bright girl and was well liked by
everyone. She is survived by her
father, and three brothers, Walter.

from Handel's Messiah with power
and expression. The soloist also sang
two secular numbers, 81 Chose a
Rose," by Sickles, and ''The Road
That Brought You to Me-" by Ham
blen.
Mrs. Kohler at this time played a
cycle of numbers. "The Slavonic
Cradle Song," Chopin's "Nocturne"
and "Narcissus" with all the beauty
of expression that characterizes her
playing. Her last number was the
ever beautiful Rosary" played in a
faultless manner. Mr.. Shaffer's last
number was Vanderwater's "The
Penitent," and again, the range, and
sweetness of the soloist's voice was
heard to advantage.

Week Marked by Few
Disorderlies

by the Aun Arbor Railroad restrain
ing the strikers from picketing or mo-
testing present employees of the com
pany and the prepaIa ion of an answer
by the strikers, the past week OF the
strike by the sbopmen has been q series
of minor disturbances.
The defendants in the injunction pro.
ceedings, 90 in number, are ordered to
appear in the federal court before Judge
Tuttle in Detroit next Monday. The
men do not have to appear in person,
but must be legally represented.
The shopmen have employed Attor-
ney r 8. Day to reprs-ent them in the
proceedings and the answer to the
charge is being drawn mp for presenta-
ton.
Charges and deuials by the opposing
sides in the strike have made up most
of the weeks events. Danbng of the
front windows of the grocery store Of
Clark & Rain, west aide grocerss by
unknown persons Friday night, was
charged to the strikers, and vigorously
denied by the h. nd OF their publicity

CURWOOD WINS SUIT
IN NEW YORK COURTS

In what was considered an import.
ant decision regarding the rights of
authors to restrictions on use of
their names and books, was handed
down recently by United States Dis
trict Judge Knox of New York, in a
suit by James Oliver Curwood of this
city against the Affiliated Distribu-
tors, Inc, Edwin Carew Pictures Cor
poration, Warner Brothers, and 9TH
ers.
Mr.. Curwood sought to restrain the
defendants from using his name in
the exploitation of a picture called
81 Am the Law" The picture men
advertised it as based on story by
CurwOod.
The defendants maintained they
had bought nothing but Curwood's s
name and had not used any Of his
story. Curwood, charging that two
situations had been stolen from his
novels, testified that mo reputable
author would prostitute his work by
selling his name." Judge Knox said |:
Elaboration Of a story means
something more than that the same
should be discarded, and its title and
authorship applied to a wholly dis
similar tale. He (Curwood) is yet a
young man; he has achieved success
and has reason to hope for much
more. Upon the evidence before me
l am unable to believe that he would
jeopardize it all and sell his birth
right for proverbial mess of pot
tage."
Damages were not decided upon.
