the business men of your city could
make, even if they did not make a
cent for several years A good hote
in any community, whether in a large

lost the entire investment from the
good he would derive from the

ed Dynamiting.

BATH, Mich, May 10 p9.-The state
of Michigan today took steps for the
relief of this stricken village, into
whose homes a demented farmer yes

| dynamiting its school and blowing to
death more than two score persons.
dren, pupils in the lower grades of the
school.
Andrew Kehoe, 45-year- r-old treasurer
of the school district-his mind de-
ranged by financial reverses-alone
conceived and executed the dynamit-
ing, in the opinion of investigating
officers. They abandoned an earlier
theory that he had outside help in
planting dynamite in the building and
wiring it to set off the blast.
The little village of 300 persons in
the heart of Michigan's agricultural
district is virtually bankrupt as
result of yesterdays catastrophe. 1t
was this situation that prompted Gov
ernor Fred w. Green today to issue
a proclamation calling for statewide
aid in providing financial relief to
Baths stricken citizens and make pos
sible the rebuilding of its school, The
village itself is unable to rebuild the
school. Governor Green announced
funds would be taken from the state
Golfers for the purpose, if voluntary
aid of Michigan's citizenry proved in
sufficient.
"It is hardly possible" the governor
said, ito imagine more terrible catas-
trophe than yesterdays at Bath"
He followed his proclamation with
announcement that he personally
would defray funeral expenses for
those of the victims whose families
were unable to do so. The governor
was on the scene of the blast yesterday
and saw the tragedy in all its horror.
! Bath tonight remembered that today
was to have been the date of the an
nual school picnic. Nightfall saw not
happy groups of children returning
| from a day Of play, but nearly score
of homes observing the hush of death
with funeral wreaths on the door.
/ Kehoe's part in the tragedy was
| brought more vividly to mind by Miss
Bernice Sterling, teacher of the first
/ grade.
Early Wednesday morning, she said
she called Kehoe by telephone and
asked concerning arrangements for the
use of a plot on his farm for the
picnic site.
"WI1en are you going to have the
picnic?" Kehoe countered.
Thursday" Miss Sterling replied.
well, if you're going to have a
picnic, you'd better have it right away,
was the treasurer'S rejoinder as he
ended the conversation.
Less than two hours later explosions
rocked the school building.
The fate of Kehoe's wife, recently re-
turned from Lansing hospital, was
cleared up.
Roye Cole, Saginaw county deputy
sheriff, searching through the ruins Of
the Kehoe farm home and outbuildings
