MICHIGAN GOVERNOR
 APPEALS FOR FUNDS
Issues Statewide Call For Public To Help Sufferers in Bath
 Tragedy

Lansing, Mich, May 19 P-Gov- ernor Green today issued a state wide appeal for funds for the relief Of the Bath township. stricken by both death and grief yesterday when dynamite explosions touched off by Andrew kchoe, revenge-crazed treasurer ot the district. killed 4S persons. g of them pupils in the Consolidated school.
 The appeal. contained in an off cial proclamation indicated that the wrecked school house will be re- placed either by popular subscrip- ton or from the coffers of the state.
 The township is heavily in debt, it was learned today, a bond issue passed in recent years having prov ed a heavy burden on it's few peo- pie.
 It is hardly possible the gov ernor's proclamation said, ito imag- inc more terrible catastrophe than that at Bath. There is little we can do to lessen the grief Of the stricken people. They have our boundless sympathy.
 While not able to assuage their grief, We can help with the material problems that confront the com munity. There has been q heavy expense cast upon them that l am sure the people of Michigan will want 10 share. Besides the relief we can give in individual cases. there is the restoration of the schoolhouse to be considered.
 The financial obligation of a new school at this time would be bur densome to a district already heav- ily bonded. l believe we will all feel better if we contribute somethng.'

Joseph Pethigal Has
 Very Narrow Escape

Joseph Pethigal, aged 14. of IF Henry street, riding bicycle on Park street this forenoon. struck a truck which was parked at the curb and was thrown beneath an- other truck, which demolished his bicycle but fortunately did not strike him. His escape without injury was one of the most fortunate that has ever come to public attention in this city.
 Detective Sergeant Ellinger. who was detailed by Captain Kelly at 1l:5O o'clock to investigate the re- port that boy had been injured, found that he was riding in an east erly direction short distance be- hind a truck owned by C. P. Hart & Son of Plainville, and driven by Charles r. Nelson of 80 Lincoln street, Plainville. Near the Service Electric Supply Co.,. Inc, store at 179 Park street, the boy turned to the left to pass the truck but was unable to do so on account of an other car coming towards him. Then he tried to pass on the right, with the result that he struck truck owned by Ada Peterson and in charge of Arvid Peterson of Pendle- ton road, which was parked at the curb.
 The impact threw the boy under the wheels of the Hart truck, which is of five ton type. Luckily, the wheels did not strike him and after the heavy vehicle had passed over him, he scrambled out unhurt ex- cept for a severe shaking up. Niel- son stopped in front of the s. F. Strople store at 1855 Park street, and until then he did not know of the accident. Mir. Peterson felt the force of the impact of the bicycle against his truck, he told Sergeant Ellinger.

Charles A, Evans,

In the death of Police Inspector
Charles A. Evans. which occurred
with shocking suddenness Saturday
afternoon. the District loses compe-
tent and valuable official and the 70
lice Department one of its most re-
spected and beloved members. In
spector Evans was an example of sue
cess through devotion TO duty. He
Joined the department thirty-five years
ago as patrolman, and from the out
set Of his service he proved himself
efficient and dependable. He won at
tention for his competence and was
the subject of an exceptional COM
mendation by a grand jury for serv-
ices which resulted in the arrest of
dangerous incendiaries. Promotion to
the detective bureau resulted, and in
that assignment he demonstrated ex-
ceptional ability. Advancement to a
lieutenancy came eight and half
years ago, with assignment to duty at
headquarters, a captaincy and an in
spectorship following in quick success
sion, rewards that were highly merited
and universally commended by the
members of the department. AS as
sistant superintendent of police In,
spector Evans has had a large part
in the development Of the organiza-
tion. His immediate detail included
charge of the entire uniformed per.
sonnel of the force. That he won and
held the respect and esteem of all the
members of the department is attested
now by the evidences Of deep sorrow
felt by the men under his command at
his untimely passing. Such an officer.
serving the community faithfully and
ably for more than third OF a cen.
tury, is to be viewed as an inspiring
example for all members of the force,
and the highest honors will be paid to
him as he is laid to rest,

I Abolish the Correspondents!

Carter Glass. the dynamic Senator

pied largely by Tom Hefiin, weighty
and werdy Senator from Alabama. as
q critic Of Washington correspondents.
"It is shocking to see what Washing

Dana" says Senator Glass. Tut. tut,
Senator! Admitting that the Wash

are misfits in every trade, the news
sent out from Washington today will

the news Of the Dana regime, not only

his charges here. He charaeterizes
the role of the correspondents as one
of depravity and insists that restrictive
measures ara needed to curb their

Taboo on Blondes.

The old gag about gentlemen pre-
ferring blondes seems to have run its
course. At least it has as far as
New York clothing house is con.
cerned. which has just advertised for
stenographer who must be a bru-
nette. The manager of the firm was
not at all reticent in giving his views
to an enterprising newspaper man
who called to discuss the advertise
ment. Unreliable, temperamental and
not much good in a business office"
was the way he summed up the blonde
contingent. Only one blonde had been
engaged during the past two years, he
said, and that was because she did
not take her hat off before she had
been given the job.
This sort of discrimination is likely
to start big argument. Blondes were
very much set up when gentlemen's s
preference for them was bruited
around the world. but this expression
Of preference by an employer is a
pretty stiff jolt on the chin. 1t ap.
parently behooves the blondes to get
husy and regain their standing in the
business world, especially If they hope
to get jobs with this particular mer.
chant.

roads concerned about $4,000, 900 an
nually. and 1t set the ball rolling in
the direction of higher wage scale
all along the line. The conductors and
trainmen in the Southeastern rail
group and the firemen In both the
Eastern and Southeastern groups all
received increases Of about 2 per cent
as the final outcome OF their appeals
to the Mediation Board.

In the fifth and final big case dis.
posed of to date, involving the con.
ductors and trainmen Of the Western
railroads. the neutral arbiters sided
with the roads and refused any in
crease. They based their decision on
the proposition that the prevailing
wage scales ON the Western roads
were already at virtually the same
level as the increased scale in the
East. They argued that to grant an
increase in the West would in effect
restore the inequality which had been
corrected by the per cent increase in
Eastern territory.

The refusal Of an increase to the
Western conductors and trainmen
aroused the ire Of the brotherhoods.

Order Of Railway Conductors, in
caustic comment, said: THE decision
eonvinces me that 'arbiters' who know
nothing of railroad employment can
not be expected to give the workers
anything like fair break. I was op-
posed to submitting wage disputes to
arbitration in the first instance, and
am more emphatically of that mind
now" There Is no interruption, how.
ever, In tha procession OF applications
to the Meditation Board for the nego.
tiation of new and increased wage
scales. The Western firemen are
battling before arbitrators now.
The locomotive engineers are next
In line. The case involving the en-
gineers in the Eastern group of rail-
roads is already before the board.
The engineers are asking for much
more. but they expect to obtain at
least the same increase given to the
f1remen and the conductors and train
men. The total annual pay roll of
all classes of railroad employees on all
roads aggregates $4,000 100000. An
average wage boost of per cent
figures out about $210,O0O, 900. And
the per cent precedent is now
pretty we'll established. The railroads
are not a bit happy over the prospect.
