BATTLE FCfiEST FIRE Tanners and Their Tamilics Ate Village of Mooivflcld.

VHVAV. Ind.. April 12. One hundred farmers. their wives and children fought a forest fire four hours near here today before getting it under control, barely savin? the village of Mooreneld from destruction. The fire started from sparks from a burning- stump and burned a stretch of ground a mile and a half long and several hundreds yards wide. A large barn on the farm of John Ilaney also was destroyed. Carcasses of burned chickens dot the blackened area. Three head of cattle also were burned to death as the flames approched so rapidly and the heat was so intense that it was impossible to rescue them. Many furrows were plowed In the path of the flames but the high wind carried the burning brands beyond and the fire continued in its destruction until it had almost reached Mooreneld where the farmers, aided by the people of the village, made a puccessful stand by plowing a large space and lighting the Haines with water. The loss, it is said will amount to several thousand dollar. FINES VINCENNES MEN Officials of Tie and Stone Company llcceivo Sentence. VINCKNXKf. Ind.. April 12.

FAILS TO QUALIFY PAW PAW, Mich., April 12. Edward O'Orady, who was elected village clerk at the recent election, failed to qualify for the olHee. and the clerkship was given to his republican opponent, H. O. Splcer, editor of a local paper. No reason for this unexpected failure to qualify is given. It comes as a surprising climax to an election that was spiritedly contested by both parties. In view of the vigorous campaign he waged there is considerable wonder expressed at O'Orady's failure at the last minute to qualify. ISLAND TO BE IMPROVED POUT HURON, April 12.

VERDIEFS SAVES DAY FOR STATE SENATORS His Measure Provides Michigan with Senatorial Election Law.

LAX'STXG, Mich., April 12. Sen. Leonard Vcrdier of Grand Rapids, chairman of the senate judiciary committee made tho startling discovery today that there is no law on tho statute books of Michigan for tho election of a United States senator. When William Alden Smith was reelected in 1912 his nomination at the primary was ratiiied by the republican majority in the legislature. Since that time the federal constitution has been changed so that United States senators are no longer chosen by tho legislative body but are elected in the same manner as governors and members of congress. However, the last legislature failed to provide any machinery for tho election of a United States senator in Michigan under the new order of things, and the oversight would probably not havo been discovered, had not Sen. Verdier looked up the law in order to draft a substitute for the bill introduced by Sen. Covert, to piovido for tilling vacancies in the otrlce of United State senator. As Michigan will elect a United states senator next year, it would have been necessary for the governor to havo called a special legislature to enact special machinery for the legislation had it not ben for Sen. Yerdicr's discovery. Verdier has drafted a lull making United States senators elected in tho same manner as the governor and this bill will be introduced Monday night. MAYOR TO ASK LOW RATE ApIolnrcI Member of Insurance liody. Tako First Step. MARQUETTE. Mich., April 12.

Increase in Are department efficiency and apparatus, a new building code and other improvements are advanced by the mayor as reason for demanding a lower rate. CATTLE HAVE HOOK WORM Nine Have Ilecii Killed and Many Others Are Affected, Is Claim. EAST LANS I NO, Mich.. April 12. Hookworm in cattle has been discovered by Dr. Ward Giltner of the Michigan Agricultural college, in Eaton county. Nine cattle have been killed.
