GETTING BUSY
MING LIS
THE WEEK PROMISES TO BE
VERY ACTIVE IN THE MAT
TER OF LAW MAKING.
PLENTY OF BILLS READY
There Is Fruitful Source for Lively
Timet With the Liquor Bills Which
Have Center of Stage.
(Special Correspondence.)
Lansing, Mich., March 22, 1909.
This week will be a very important
one in the legislature. Getting ready
to pass lawa Is something like the
preparation of a dinner. The house
wife prepares her vegetable and her
meat and everything she needs and
finally gets it on the Are. Up to this
time there is not much result, but
presently it is done, and all comes
out together and everyone is satisfied.
Many bills have gone to committees
this session, and they have been care
fully considered and amended and
now are being reported out for gen
eral consideration. So from now on
laws will be passed every day. Liquor
bills will take precedence this wee.,
with the railroad bills second, and if
there is any spare time primary re
form may be discussed. N
Pure Water Bill.
One of the good
measures that has
passed the house Is
that of Rep. Jensen
h of Escanaba . and
mp ' y gives the Btate
f board of health su-
pervlsory control
of waterworks In
the various cities
I ind villages of the
Utate. As Mt. Jen-
Hen explains, tne
local boards are
too otten under the control of local
politics, and the waterworks are not
Installed In a manner to secure pure
water. As a result contagion breaks
out frequently, costing lives and money
before it is suppressed. Mr. Jensen
believes the law he proposes will
largely overcome this trouble.
The Winning Nurses.
Convincing arguments put up by the
nurses of the state have brought the
public health committee of the house
around to the nurses' way of thinking,
and the bill providing for registered
nurses will be reported out In a very
few days. Instead of a board com
posed entirely of nurses. It will have
three nurses and two physicians. The
compromise for three doctors and two
nurses will be rejected, and the nurses
will have control of their board,
though not its entire membership, as
they had hoped. Also the law is
amended to provide for a two years'
training insttad of three, as they
wished, but as the majority of states
that have registration laws prescribe
for two Instead of three years' train
ing, there is no hardship In this.
The Country Boy's Chance.
Rrp. McNaugh
ton of Grand Rap
ids has Introduced
a bill to provide
fnr ih nnvmctit nf
tult,on of country
-J.y- pupils who have
passed the eighth
grade and desire to
attend high school
S t'-Wjt ill provides that
J if I n written notice
- Vf i if the parents or
guardian oi me pupils the board of
the district shall furnish funds to the
amount of $25, with which to pay the
tuition each year in the town or city
nigh school. The measure is well
thought of in the house and Mr. Mc
Naughton will endeavor to secure its
passage.
The Banking Bill.
Under the leadership of Rep. D. G.
P. Warner, of Benzie, the house went
to the defense of private banks and
killed a bill which prohibits the use of
the word "bank" by these institutions
either In advertisements or stationery.
Warner made the speech which killed
the bill, aided by the evident deep hos
tility of Rep. Perry, of Osceola, to the
measure. Perry is a private banker.
Auto Licenses.
Rep. Schantz Is
the man who Intro
duced the amend
ments to the auto
mobile laws that
has Just passed the
house and bids fair
to become a law.
Hy the terms of
tte bill each auto
mobile must pay a
license ranging
from $3 to $10 an
nually, according
io iitt noibeuoxvtr. The chauffeur must
also have a license at $5 and the re
striction as to lights and other safety
niards are revised.' Mr. Schantz says
the General Automobile Association
Indorses his bill, and it in believed it
will pass the senate without opposi
tion. Mr. Schantz In also Interested
In other Important measures which
will be introduced later.
let Cream.
The senate has passed a bill to pro
mote the purity of Ice cream. It pro
Tides that all manufacturers must pro
Tide an annual license the fee to be
$5 except in cities of less than 3,000
Inhabitants. The chief provision Is
that no Ice cream must be sold In the
fate containing less than 12 per cent
of milk fat, and that each container
must show the amount of gelatin or
vegetable gums used for coloring mat
ter, which must not exceed one-half
per cent.
i
l&
)yK
The Popular Clerk.
It Is freely conceded that the house
of presentatives has never had a more
popular or efficient clerk than Paul
H. King, the present incumbent. Al
though youthful in appearance, Mr.
Kins Is an attorney, and, having
grown up in tne
atmosphere of state
affairs in the cap
itol. is by both
training and per
formance master
of the work which
demands both a
diplomat and a
scholar. It is not
on record that the
tresent clerk has
rer been too busy
o listen to the
troubles of any member, new or old,
and If possible find a way to help him
out of his difficulties. On the other
hand, It is hard to conceive of a mem
ber with nerve enough to approach
Paul King with any proposition that
would not bear the light. At the close
of this session Mr. King will engage
in the practice of law and his success
is a foregone conclusion. As clerk
of the late constitutional convention
he gained probably as clear a knowl
edge of the new constitution as any
man in the state and this knowledge
will be of great value to him In the
days when laws made under the docu
ment begin to come under fire.
Some Accusations.
The Anti-Saloon league bills, which
include the search and seizure meas
ure, the Ming bill," which gives coun
ties broader owers over the saloon
business, have been reported out In
the senate, and made a special order
for Wednesday, when the opening of
the fight in the senate over the liquor
question will be the principal feature
of the week. In the house, the Orms
bee regulation bill is scheduled as a
special order, and liquor legislation
will undoubtedly arouse the hottest
kind of a contest during the week.
The liquor men have been active ever
since the session opened, and the
anti-saloon men have been just as
busy. Various accusations have been
whispered about, which will be
brought to light when the contest gets
under way, and members interested
more particularly In other legislation
are fearing that the strife will bring
about a condition which will jeopar
dize their bills.
Crampton's Railway Bill
Representative Craraton. former
secretary of the State Railway Com
mission, has introduced another bill
In the house aimed to better define
the powers of the
commission. This
bill gives the com
mission . the au
thority to review
rules and regula
tions of Michigan
railways and to
designate which
rules are approved
nd for violation
)f which employes
if the companies
nav be fined. The
commission cannot say what rules
6hall be put into effect. Its authority
ends with Its approval or disapproval,
but the company will not be permitted
to fine its employes for disobedience
or neglect of rules that are disap
proved. At present there are some
rules and regulations that do not co
incide with the laws of the state, and
the commission. The employe finds
it difficult to determine which to obey.
Sorne New Bills.
Representative Ryan Provides for
prosecution of trusts in this state;
bill is modeled after Ohio law.
Senator Collins Directing fish com
mission to recommend plan for exter
minating rough and coarse fish.
Representative Haviland Prohibits
flna.1 decision of contested claims by
arbitration boards in fraternal socle-
ties.
Representative Flowers Requires
filing of chattel mortgages with
county clerk, as well as township or
city clerks.
Representative Currle Allows cap
ture of not to exceed twenty-five
pounds of redsldes and suckers,- In
Saginaw bay and its tributary streams.
Representative Stewart Provides
for tax of from five to ten cents per
pupil to furnish fund to furnish cloth
ing for destitute school children.
Representative Copley Reduces the
price the university pays for each
corpse for dissection from $15 to $10
Bodies may be shipped without care
taker. Allows physicians to have
corpses in their possession.
Various Matters.
There Is a plan on foot to consoli
date the bill allowing railways to col
lect ten cents penalty on cash fares,
with the bill requiring railways to sell
500-mile Interchangeable mileage
books. The railways are very anxious
to secure the passage of the penalty
bill, but are not at all anxious to have
to sell mileage books, as proposed In
the other bill. It Is planned to com
bine the two bills, and then allow the
railways to accept both propositions,
or lose the one which thev want.
The maximum bhort-haul rate law.
over which the shippers were so
pleased when the supreme court ud
held it, lias been found to lack ail the
fine features which it was supposed to
possess, and the shippers are now as
anxious to get it off the law books as
they were to have the supreme court
declare It a good law.
The house has adopted a resolution
extending the thanks of the state to
the forestry commission for its work
in Investigating and reporting on for
estry conditions. Engrossed copies
are to be furnished to each commls
sloner.
The house had a hilarious time with
a bill which provides regulations rela
tive to the breeding of horses in this
state, and finally referred the bill
back to the committee. The bill pro-
viding for paying pensions to firemen
which was introduced by Rep. Gray
of this city, was made a special order
Tor Wednesday, March 31, at his re
quest. There was not a quorum nres
rnt in the senate Friday, a goodly
share of the senators having ducked
nerore the end of the session Thurs
day afternoon.

PERISHED III
BURNING HOI
A MOTHER'S FUTILE STRUGGLE
TO SAVE HER BOY FROM
CREMATION.
WAS TERRIBLY BURNED,
Baby Was Thrown From Window Into
a Snow Bank The Search for the
Missing Flint Boy Goes On.
After a heroio effort to save her
3-months-old babe and 5-year-old son
from death In the flames which de
stroyed her farm home, Mrs. Joseph
Rossler is dying from burns in Esca
naba hospital, the son is already dead
and the babe may die from exposure
In the snow bank into which the moth
er tossed it from a window. Mrs. Ros
sier awoke to find the house in a
blaze. She fought her way through the
smoke which filled her room to the
baby's crib, seized It and threw the
child from the .ndow. The flames
drove her from the building, but she
bravely returned and made a des
perate effort to find her boy. Neigh
bors then removed her from the burn
ing house by force and bore her to the
hospital. Her hair was burned off
and her back and hands were shriv
eled from contact with the fire.
The boy's charred remains were
found In the cellar, evidently having
dropped through from a bedroom on
the second floor.
Search for Harold Moon.
Dragging operations in the portion
tt the creek leading to Thread pond.
In which a Port Huron clairvoyant
claims that the body of Harold Moon
is concealed, were continued up to a
late hour Thursday, but the body was
not recovered. Weeds and debris de
scribed by the Port Huron fortune tel
ler were discovered in the bed of the
stream, and Sheriff parkhurst places
sufficient confidence and belief in her
story to again continue the search.
Only a portion has been dragged, and
it is thought by many that the lad's
body is held fast among the weeds
and roots in the other portion of the
stream.
Nornite Founder Dead.
James Norn, the retired lumberman.
Is very ill at his home in Standish
and not expected to recover. He be
gan life fresh from Scotland about 33
years ago without a cent In his
pocket at shoemaking, his trade in
the old country, and from that to
lumbering on a small seale near Omer,
this county. Today he is worth all the
way from $50,000 to $73,000. He is at
the head of the church, or sect, known
as "Nornites" there, who have a big
hall, known as Gospel hall, where
they meet regularly each Sunday.
They have no music, no hymn books,
etc., usually found in churches, and
the women all keep silent "in meet
in'." Each new member of the assembly
is immersed in the river there, win
ter and summer. A largely attended
conference Is held there each year,
members attending from all over Can
ada and Michigan. T. D. W. Muir,
of Detroit, pastor of Central Gospel
hall, is one of the leaders.
Flint's Sunday Drunks.
Flint people, especially the local op
tion element, were astounded Sunday,
when 20 intoxicated men were taken
to Jail by the police department. This
number breaks all records for any
one day In the city; in fact, it has
been only once or twice in years that
such a number has been in the toils
in two days' time.
In the possession of e ach man was
found evidence that he had been sup
plied Saturday for over the holiday
The majority of the arrested had)
empty flasks, while a few had bottles
of a different style. The wholesale
arrests for Intoxication, it is thought,
will add strength to the workers for
local option, but the "wets maintain
that such conditions will prevail if
the county is voted dry. The police
were of the opinion that certain liquor
men gave the whisky out thinking
that If the persons to whom it were
given got intoxicated It would be an
argument in their favor.
Will Get His Share.
William Daws, 53, and unmarried,
returned to Adrian Saturday, after an
absence of 25 years and put in a
claim to one-sixth of his father's es
tate, which at the time of the latter's
death, in 1897, amounted to $4,000
When the father died the estate, ac
cording to his will, was to be divided
among the children, five of whom were
living at home. William was thought
by members of the family and friends
to be dead, as he had not been heard
from in 13 years, but one brother, who
Is now Aid. J. T. Daws, would not con
sent to the division of the missing
man's portion of the money, as he
firmly believed that he would how up
In time. His share of the estate Is
Intact and will be delivered to him by
the other heirs.
John Push, sentenced from Detroit
In 1904 for three to fifteen years for
burglary, died suddenly at the prison
Friday afternoon from enlargement of
the heart.
The Adrian post, G. A. R., is boos
ing S. J. Lawrence, of Northvllle, for

Sheriff Gates and Constable Robin
son arrested Harry and Roy Greer, 22
and 18, respectively, at Homestead
They are wanted by officers of Roch
ester. Ind., for the alleged wrecking of
a train on the night of Dec. 24, on the
Fort Wayne branch of the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern railroad near
Grass Lake, Ind.
To settle its case with William
Atchison, a brakeman on the Ann Ar
bor railroad, who sued for $25,000
damages for injuries received in the
Lakeland wreck last November, the
company gave him $2,700 out of court
and paid his hospital and doctors'
bills.
A Mystery Cleared Up.
The body of Thomas Morrlsh, the
70-year-old farmer of Flushing, who
disappeared on the night of Jan. 9,
1908, was found in the Flint river near
Montrose, Friday, by three Indians,
Frank Davis, Alexander JackBon and
John Williams, of the village of Tay-
mouth, who were trapping, and one of
the most mysterious affairs that ever
occurred in the vicinity has thus been
cleared up. It has been the belief of
many since the . disappearance that
Morrlsh had been foully dealt with,
but the finding of the body establishes
the accidental drownlug theory which
has been generally accepted.
A scar on the forehead is explained
by a physician as being caused by the
rubbing of the body on the 6tones on
the river bottom. When taken from
the river the body was almost com
pletely encased in a slime caused by
the action of the water in which It
had lain so long, and was Identified
only because of a missing toe on the
right foot.
On the night of Jan. 9, 1908, Mor
rlsh started for his home from Flush
ing, where he had spent most of the
day, during a severe rain and sleet
storm. At a point a short distance
from the village the road on which he
was walking makes a sharp turn al
most on the high bank of the river,
which at that time was running bank
full from the heavy rains. It is be
lieved that the old man became con
fused' in the darkness and storm and
instead of turning walked straight on
into the river and was drowned.
For months after his disappearance
searchers patroled the river banks
and the stream was dragged from
Flushing to Saginaw, but without re
sults. A large reward was offered,
and after the unsuccessful search of
the river the officers have been work
ing on the foul play theory.
