$10,001),000 FOR EDUCATION.
Rockefeller Gives to General Educa
tion Board.
New York City.—John D. Rockefel
ler increased his donations to the
general education beard by a gift of
$10,000,000 and also released the
beard from the obligation to hold in
perpetuity the funds contributed by
him. The gift, announced by Freder
ick T. Gates, chairman, brings Mr.
Rockefeller’s donation to the board to
$52,000,000. The gift was contributed,
according to the statement made by
Chairman Gates because the income
of the present fund available for ap
propriation had been 'exhausted and
a large income to meet educational
needs of great importance had become
necessary.
Mr. Rockefeller’s action in empow
ering the board and its successors to
distribute the principal of funds con
tributed by him upon the affirmative
vote of two-thirds of its members was
said to have been taken in consider
ation of the possibility, now remote,
that at some future time, the object
and purpose of the Rockefeller foun
dation might become obsolete. Under
the original conditions imposed, the
fund would have had to continue in
perpetuity regardless of whether a
public demand for its continuation
evists or not.
MAN HAS TWENTY-FOUR WIVES.
Bigamist Goes to Jail and Wives Are
Waiting at Home.
San Francisco, Cal. —John Madson,
wanted for bigamy in nearly every
large city in America, and in many
of the smaller ones, is in the hands
of the police here. The authorities
have established his marriage to ten
women and bis engagement to four
teen others. Each of the 24 women;
duped by Madson is said by the police
to have lost more or less money
through him.
Madson is said to have deserted
each of these women within a few
hours after marriage. Among the
women to whom he was either en
gaged or married was one each in
Jonesburg, Ark.; Gettysburg, Ohio,
and New Orleans, La.
The strange history of Madson, who
is an aged man, extends over only
a few months. Almost without ex
ception his victims have been wid
ows or divorced women of middle
age. Madson may be taken for
trial to Stockton, where one of his
wives resides, but in the meantime
the police here are trying to secure
a somplete sonfession from him.
BRISTOL VOTES FOR LIQUOR.
“Wets” Win by Majority of 38 Votes
in Virginia Town.
Bristol, Va. —By the narrow major
ity of 38 votes out of a total of §44
votes polled, the anti-prohibitioni:*s
won the local option election held
here, following one of the most hot
ly contested campaigns of its kind
known in the south. There were 401
votes against ard 439 in favor of
granting license.
The “we'ts” declare that the victory
here, following the recent one against
prohibition at Petersburg, Va., will
have the effect of checking the state
wide prohibition movement in Vir
ginia and will have some influence to
ward preventing further inroads of
the prohibit ionsists in the south. They
say, too, that the winning of this
£ght is but the opening wedge in the
greater fight for reclamation of lost
territory in the south.
LINER HIT BY Bls WAVE.
One Man is Killed and Five Others
Are Injred.
New York City—A goodly portion
of the Atlantic Ocean rose from its
depth in a wave of tremendous height
and thundered broadside against the
Spanish liner Moatzerrat while on her
way here from Cadiz. Her crew and
■passengers pointed at rents in her
stern, and told of the death of the
•boatswain and the injury of five other
men who were on the afterdeck when
the mountain of water fell upon them.
The steerage passengers were thrown
into panic, and their excitement was
long in subsiding, for, following the
great wave, the b?g vessel rolled
violently.
CONTROL OINCORPORATIONS.
Wickersham Says U. S. Should Domi
inate Interstate Concerns.
Paducah, Ky.—Congress should con
trol organization of corporations do
ing an interstate business, according
to an address delivered before the
State Bar Association by George W.
Wickersham, attorney general of the
United States.
Of paramount importance because
Wickersham gave complete treatment
of the trust question as it appears to
the present national administration,
the address was notable chiefly for
the recommendation made by the at
torney general that congress should
enact a law providing for nationally
created Incorporations to carry on
intersttae commerce.
Previously by exhaustive reference
to important state and federal court
decisions, Mr,, Wickersham had sketch
ed the ways by which states may reg
ulate business of foreign corporations
within their boundaries
This brought the attorney general
to his main declaration that pongress
should organize corporations to carry
on interstate business, because of the
general legal complexity of regulat
ing that traffic.
Though in a national sense the ad
dress was chiefly notable for the rec
ommendation of national incorpora
tion, its effort to show the separate
states how they may control the busi
ness of foreign corporations in their
limits, was an important feature.
THREE-SCORE-AND-TEN
FOR ROCKEFELLER
Cleveland, Ohio.—John D. Rocke
feller has reached the three-score-and
ten period of his life. Seventy years
ago he was born on a small farm
near Ricliford, Tioga county, New
York. Beginning life as a penniless
farmer’s boy, Mr. Rockefeller is now
reputed to be the world’s nearest can
didate for a gillionaire. Ills health is
good, and he is enjoying rugged old
age. Mr. Rockefeller received sev
eral congratulatory telegrams and a
few callers, who extended their best
wishes. His birthday was spent in his
usual manner, attending to business
affairs and playing golf. ,
RECORD IS BROKEN
FOR SIZE OF CHEESE
Utica, N. Y.—The largest cheese
ever manufactured in the Mohawk
valley was shipped to a Chicago firm
by the local cold storage company.
The cheese was built in the usual
shape, but it measured 32 inches high
and 45 inches in diameter and weigh
ed 1,950 pounds.
It took about ten tons of milk to
produce it and it was pressed into
shape by a specially constructed press
in a cheese factory, where it. was
bought by a Chicago firm through a
cold storage company.
MUST FACE TRIAL
FOR TRYING SUICIDE
Memphis, Tenn. —So far as records
show for the first time in the history
of Memphis, the name of an alleged
would-be suicide apears on the police
docket formally charged with attempt
ed self-destruction, and will be used
as a test of the Tennessee statute
which declares attempted suicide a
felony and provides heavy punish
ment. The arrest was at the instance
of the superintendent of the city hos
pital, where the young woman was
taken for medical attention.
OFFICERS MUST EAT
FOOD SENT INMATES
Topeko, Kans.—Governor W. R.
Stubbs believes that the officers and
employees of the various state insti
tutions should eat the same food they
set out for the inmates.
“If the grub is not good enough for
the officers and employes,” said the
governor, "it is not good enough for
growing children and invalids in the
institutions. it' the officers cannot
live on food the state furnishes its
wards, they should buy their own pro
visions.”
WOMEN CONVICTS MAY
BE TAKEN FROM ROADS
Mansfield, La. —Because of protests
by humanitarians, women convicts
serving time on the roads of DeSoto
parish will probably be relieved of
hard labor and returned to the jail
here to finish their sentences. The
authorities of the parish have been
deluged with petitions seeking the
abandonment of the working of wom
en convicts.
Newsy Paragraphs.
A sensational action against Pope
Pius, in which a vast fortune is at
stake, is pending. It is declared that
unless there is an amicable adjust
ment suit will be entered by the
three nieces of the late Bishop
Adami, who will sue to restore their
uncle’s fortune to them, which is now
held by the pope. The Vatican holds
the will, which, it is declared, leaves
everything to Monsignor Sarto, now
the pope.
Justice Mills directed that Harry K.
Thaw be transferred from the Mat
teawan asylum to the White Plains
jail. This is a distinct victory for
Thaw. Justice Mills said he would
recommit, Thaw to Matteawan if Jus
tice Gaynor granted a change of ve
nue to the state attorney general.
Total receipts for the Charleston,
S. C., postoffice during the year just
closed were $151,538.20, the largest
in the history of that postoffice.

TARIFF BILL 18 PASSED
Measure Went Through Senate
By Vote of 42 to 24.
DP TO THE HOUSE NOW
Insurgent Republican Senator* Resent
ed Threat That They Would Be
Read Out of Party.
Washington, D. C. —The tariff bill
passed the senate by a vote of 45
to 34. Republicans voting in the neg
ative were Beveridge of Indiana, Bris
tow of Arkansas, Brown of Nebraska,
Burkett of Nebraska, Clapp of Minne
sota, Crawford of South Dakota, Cum
mins of lowa, Dolliver of lowa, La
Foleltte of Wisconsin and Nelson of
Minnesota. McEnery of Louisiana was
the only democrat recorded in the af
firmative.
Mr. Gore delivered a final denuncia
tion of the entire system of protection
as exemplified in the bill.
The failure of the senate to keep
here are a few
NECESSITIES AND THEIR
ALDRICH BILL PRICES.
According to merchants direct
ly concerned in the manufac
ture or sale of the goods named
here are a few samples of the
increases that can be looked for
when the new tariff goes into
effect:
Shoes, an advance of 20 to 25
per cent. In other words, a shoe
now selling at $2 will cost $2.50.
A $3.50 shoe will probably cost
$4.25. A $5 shoe will cost $6.50.
A serge suit that can be
bought for sls today will cost
S2O next year.
Carpets, rugs, matting and ho
siery will be substantially ad
vanced in price.
the promise made to the people by
the republican party respecting a re
vision of the tariff downward, was
the theme of Senator Beveridge, as
the debate on the pending bill was
drawing to a close.
Mr. Beveridge was answered by Mr.
Aldrich, who said he had often seen
men interpret their own judgment
as the judgment of their party.
Mr. Aldrich declared that the pend
ing bill was a fulfillment of the par
ty’s pledge. If senators wished to
vote against the bill, he said, they
should not attempt to speak for their
party.
Mr. Crawford delivered a vigorous
protest against any attempt upon the
part of Chairman Aldrich to prevent
republican senators from the exercise
of their judgment.
Senator Clapp also joined in the
protest against any effort on the- part
of the present senator from Rhode Isl
and to control his actions.
The 'bill was then put on its pass
age. It was passed 45 to 34.
'Much interest was aroused in the
senate over the adoption of the amend
ment of Senator Bradley removing the
restrictions on the free sale of tobacco
in the hand.
This action was the result of many
years of agitation and of much active
recent campaigning.
The Bradley amendment authorizes
anyone, the grower, any person to
whom he may make transfer, or any
one else, to sell tobacco in the hand
without paying a tax, but requires
that when the sale exceeds ten
pounds, a record shall be kept for
the benefit of the internal revenue
service.
The present law permits the grow
er to dispose of his product, but does
not allow his veiidee to transfer it
without paying a tax of six cents a
pound. The prohibition has been the
cause of much disturbance, culminat
ing in the forays of the night riders
in Kentucky and Tenessee.
