WHOLE FAMILIES DIE.
Devartated District In Michigan Covert
100 Square Mllet.
Alpena. Mich. Oct. 10. Out nf the
fire-swept district to the north of this
city, where flames are spreading un
told death and desolation unchecked,
come advices which Indicate that the
number of dead will exceed 60 and
may run up well toward loo. Early
Saturday it was known that 22 had
been sacrificed to the flames. Later
advicct confirmed this report and
added 10 more to the list of victims.
Today it it certain that the casualties
will largely exceed every previous
report.
In the vicinity of Mctz, Ilolton and
Poscn the fires have burned suffi
ciently to leave several hundred
women and children camping 'with
comparative safety in the open fields,
out near tins city Saturday night trie
fires became so threatening that
Mayor McKnight called out a volun
teer force of several hundred men
with shovels to construct trenches in
an effort to stem the progress of the
flames toward this city. The same
southwest wind that swept fires
through the village of Mctz is still
blowing, with consequent great dan
ger to villages and farms.
Fires are ttill raging uncontrolled
through the counties of Sheboygan,
Presque Isle, Alpena and Alcona, as
well as in other scattered districts
through northern Michigan. Diligent
search has been begun to determine
the full extent of the holocaust. It
may take many days to reveal the
tragedies that are likely to have oc
curred on isolated farms, with fam
ilies fighting bravely to the last to
save their lives and their modest
homesteads
The death list may not be fully
known for a week. Iiut it needs no
elaborated details to determine that
the property loss will run into the
millions. Whole villages have been
blotted off the map and logging
camps by the dozen have been de
stroyed, with their entire teaton's
output.
TURKEY WANTS WAR.
Moblllzei Army In Atla Minor to Fight
Bulgaria.
Paris, Oct. 10. The optimism pre
vailing In official circles up to the
present time concerning the ability
of the powers to maintain peace in
eastern Europe was rudely shattered
on receipt nf a telegram from the
French ambassador at Constanti
nople, M Constans. announcing that
Turkey had ordered the mobilization
of her troops -in Asia Minor, and it
is believed that a few hours will de
termine the issue of peace or war.
This is regarded as Turkey's an
swer to Bulgaria's refusal to accord
compensation for her independence
and to the powers which arranged the
program in London for the interna
tional conference.
Instructions have been hurriedly
forwarded to the French representa
tives at Constantinople and Sofia to
renew their counsels of peace and the
other powers have sent similar in
structions to their representatives in
these cities, urging moderation on
the part of Bulgaria and Turkey.
The fear among diplomats, how
ever, is that intervention may come
too late and that the Bulgarians, in
their present state of excitement, may
accept Turkey's act at one of provo
cation and advance across the fron
tier, when a collision between a the
armies would be inevitable and irre
parable. REVIVE SCHOOL QUESTION.
Chinese Demand Native Girls Be Ad
mitted to White School.
San Francisco, Oct. 19. An order
by the board of education for the re
moval of ten Chinese school girls
from one of the public schools of the
city to an annex of the oriental
school threatens to renew the Asi
atic school complication of a year
ago.
Soo Hoo Fong, n local Chinese
merchant, through his attorneys has
threatened to sue the members of the
board of education if they remove his
children from a school attended by
white children, and others plan sim
ilar action.
Fong's attorneys claim their client

ceded the earthquake of last January.
The English court of appeals has de
cided that the fire which twept
Kingston January 14 was not caused

The decision practically overrules
the earthquake clause. The action
of the court means that millions will

Alpena. Mich., Oct. 20. The cer

railroad, is out of commission.
Some apprehension is felt for Grace
Harbor, which is located on the shore of
Lake Huron, northeast of here No word
has been received from there since the
fire.
At the lowest estimate there are 1700
people homeless, and there is not even an
adequate supply of water.
The Detroit & Mackinac Railroad
company ordered ISO pumps sent into
the fire district. The relief fund at Al
pena has reached $3000, and is growing
rapidly.
MYSTERY ABOUT MAINE.
Warship Arrives Unannounced and
Authorities Keep Quiet.
Portsmouth, N. H.. Oct. 20. The bat
tleship Maine, one of the special service
squadron that has preceded the Atlantic
battleship fleet on its voyage around
the world, arrived in the lower bay yes

among the officials of the yard, who
refuse to reveal their significance. For
the first time this year, wireless oper
ators have been forbidden to disclose
the contents of the messages.
It is understood that the Maine will
stay in port here for three weeks, and
after a cruise will later return for a
general refitting. During the present
stay the vessel will go to the Kittcry
drydock to have her hull scraped.

from the fleet at San Francisco and
sent ahead to prepare the way.
The Maine's last port was the Azores.
The Alabama is expected to reach New
York tomorrow. She left the Maine
last Wednesday.

Guilty of Disrespect.
Yokohama, Oct. 20. The court
martial that tried Lieutenant Frank
T. Evans, of the battleship Louisiana,
son of Rear-Admiral Evans, found he
was not guilty of Intoxication, but was
guilty of disrespect to his superior of

was on duty. The court's sentence
was that he shall lose ISO numbers

Admiral Sperry criticises the sentence
as inadequate and too lenient and
