 Rhodes Will.
 Secretary Hay, says Washington dispatch, has forwarded to the com missioners of the District of Columbia u copy of i letter sent to other states and territories, bearing on the Amerl- can scholarships in Oxford university, created by the will of the late Cecil Rhodes. The district was not men tioned in the will, and there has, there fore been doubt as to whether 1t will be included in the benefations. The letter of the secretary settles the ques- tion iii favor of the district. The sec retary, in his communication, encloses a copy of a letter from Boucher F. Hawkley, representing the trustees of the will, which he says
 ''The trustees are desirous of making regulations with regard to the method by which qualifications of candidates are to be ascertained and as to eXanl- nations. They will, therefore, he obliged if you will be so good as to bring the scholarship provisions of MT Khodes's will to the notice of your gov ernment. with the request on their be half that the views of the chief officials having control of education in the vari- ous states and territories of the Union may be ascertained and communicated to the trustees.
 Ut would be of further great assist ance to the trustees if they could be furnished through your kindness with the opinion of the leading educational authorities of the United States. espe- cially the heads of Harvard, Yale. Go lumbia and other universities, with re gard generally to the election of uuali flying students and the best mode oi giving practical effect to the scholar l ship trust.

AGAIN DOES THE SECRETARY
COME TO THE RESCUE OF
SPECULATORS
MAKES A MORE LIBERAL
BOND PROPOSITION
Mr.. Shaw Is Said to Have Practically

Have Been Selling at 137la-This Be-

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Secretary
Shaw has again come to the aid of
Wall street. 1t is said on reliable au-
thority that relief for the money mar
ket will come early in the week
through the purchase of government
bonds by the treasury department. Sec
retary Shaw's offer to accept $5,000,000
of the outstanding per cent bonds at
105 was so much under the market that
no bonds were rendered. He then in
vited a tender of bonds, coupling his
offer with the statement that the price
must be low, which deferred the owners
of bonds from making an offer Of them
to the secretary.
He has since made very careful in
vestigation of the bond market situa-
ton and it is said he has practically
agreed to accept a considerable amount
of the As of 1925 which are now selling
around 1879. A syndicate has been
formed which has pooled the bond hold
ings of it's members and they have
been rendered to the treasury depart
ment at price which is likely to be
accepted An announcement is expect
ed Monday morning.
If the secretary accepts the tenders
of these it will serve to unlock a fair
amount of money which will become
available Wednesday,. The amount Of
bonds offered and the price at which
they were rendered are not made
public, but it is said the matter is now
practically settled.

FOR DAUGHTERS OF
AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Ground Broken for Memorial Continen.
tai HalI-Gold and Silver Spade
From Montana.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 11.-With
elaborate patriotic service, ground was
today broken for the Memorial Conti-
mental hall of the National Society of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, at Seventeenth and D streets
northwest. The ceremony, which was
attended by large number, including
representatives of the national socie-
ties of the Sons of the American Rev
olution and Children Of the American
Revolution, also marked the twelfth
anniversary of the founding of the So
ciety of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution.
Mrs. Charles N. Fairbanks, president
general of the order, and wife of the
Indiana senator, off1ciated, assisted by
the surviving founders of the national
society. The spade with which the
earth was turned was presented by the
Montana society through Mrs. Walter
Harvey Weed, vice regent of the state,
who read a poem written for the occa-
sion by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The
spade is made of gold and silver taken
from Montana mines and is set with
blue and white sapphires from that
state.
Mrs. Fairbanks made an address in
which she pointed out the great lines on
which the society was founded dozen
years ago and the fact that the MEM
bership has now grown to 10000 wom-
en-. The society, she said, did not exist
for pride of family or blood, but to aid
in preserving the eternal principles Of
liberty,

MAYOR SMITH IS HURT
WHILE OUT HUNTING
Falls While Carrying Heavy Load
and His Heart Is
JoIted.

did you ever experience the feel
ing of your heart striking your ribs
and rebounding back?" asked Mayor
Smith yesterday, laboriously attacking
an accumulation of correspondence, the
result Of his absence while duck hunt
ing; ,u,,a -, oe mt
ting 1t, but did, and don't feel right
yet" and his honor placed his hand
over his heart, while a pang of pain
shot through his sturdy frame. 1t
hurts me even now" he remarked.
Bad luck, it seems, attended Mayor
Smiths latest duck hunt, he expert
encing a painful fall while stepping
from skiff. A trailing vine caught
his foot and he was thrown to the
ground with much force, striking on
his side. When he fell he had his gun
in one hand and a sack of loaded
shells thrown over his shoulder, and
there was no chance to catch himself.
'I counted on having one of the best
hunting trips I ever experienced, but
that fall settled it," said the mayor.
'It happened the second day I was
out, and from that time on the best
could do was to crawl to the lake and
take an occasional shot at some stray
duck. When fell my heart seemed to
strike my ribs and rebound back. 1t
frightened me for a moment, tell
you"
This is the second accident Mayor
Smith has suffered since the open sea-
son began, his first being slight fall
while alighting from train. The sec
ond shook him up the most and it's
effect Is still shown in the sharp pains
that he is now experiencing.
Mayor Smith while away was the
guest of D. C. Shepherd, of the North
ern Pacific railroad, he making the
trip in that gentleman's private car.
Their camp was near Devils Lake, in
North Dakota.

DAVID B. HILL ON
TARIFF AND MINES
Former Should Be Revised and the
Latter Owned by the Government,
He Contends.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic state campaign was opened to-
night in Brooklyn. Speeches We're
made by David B. Hill, Edward M
Grout, George Raines and others. Re
ferripg. to. the, question of tariff revis-
ion. Mr.. Hill said:
with over $500,000,000 Of surplus
revenue in the treasury of the United
States it is fo1ly-aye, it is almost
criminal--to further resist modifica-
ton Of the present eXorbitant tariff
rates. No good reason can be urged
why such revision should not be i'm
mediately undertaken"

party for it's failure to control trusts
and monopolies. OF the plan Of the
state platform demanding government
ownership Of the anthracite mines he
said.
.I'he proposition is neither startling.
revolutionary, socialistic. nor paternal.
but it is constitutional necessary, ex-
spedient, and, above an, 1t Is right. 1t
is simply a reasonable and necessary
extension of the general policy of pub
lie ownership already largely prevail

try. This proposition does not commit

TRIO OF PROPOSITIONS.
Operators Put Forth Something Fur
ther by Way of Exclamation.


NEW YORK, Oct. lit was stated
today at the Office of e. B. Thomas,
chairman of the board of directors Of
the Erie railroad, that the reports that
there was likely to be on Tuesday Of
next week further conference with
Senators Quay, Plat and Penrose. were
incorrect. The statement issued by Mr..
Thomas at the conclusion Of the con-
ference on Friday morning definitely
covered the situation. 1t was explained
that in the early conference with the
Civic Federation certain propositions
had been submitted by Mr.. Thomas
These propositions are understood to
be the basis of all the negotiations on
the part of the operators ever since,
and to which the operators adhere.
Those propositions. were:
First-The anthracite companies do not
undertake in the slightest manner to dis
criminate against members of the United
Mine Workers of America; but they do
insist that members Of that organization
shall not discriminate against nor de
cline to work with non-members Of such
association.
Second-That there shall be no discrim-
ination In the quality or quantity of the
work, and that there shall be no effort to
restrict the individual exertions of men
who, working by the ton or car, may, for
reasons satisfactory to themselves and
their employers. produce such quantity
of work as they may desire.
Thirdly reason Of the different con-
tricts, but with the mines themselves
thus rendering absolutely impossible any
thing approaching uniform conditions,
each mine must arrange, either fndlv1du-
ally or through its committees, with the
superintendents or managers, any ques-
ton affecting wages or grievances
The following comes from an au-
thoritative source on the other side of
the dispute: a..
'The two days conference between
the presidents of the coal carrying
railroads and Gov. Odell and Senators
Platt, Quay and Penrose was not the
failure that 1t was reported to be. The
operators practically agreed to GER
tain advance In wages and to certain
propositions that would result in the
resumption of coal mining. The con-
ference was not adjourned because an
agreement apparently could not be
reached, but because the operators
were not willing to have it appear that
they were yielding under pressure. The
conference, according to the present
plan, will be resumed on Tuesday, but
a final agreement may not be reached
that day. At this time it looks as
though a settlement will be effected
before the series of meetings is ended,
although something may be said or
done while the present efforts are be-
ing made that would wipe out the work
already accomplished"
When the above was shown to Mr..
Tht mas he said:
"lhis statement Is unqualif1edly
wrong. No conclusions were or could
be reached through that channel. The
incident may be considered as abso-
lutely closed, the operators positively
declining to accept the suggestions
made Nothing will be done on Tues
day."

Chinn, dry goods merchant in this city.
one of the most prominent business men
and Confederate soldiers in Kentucky, was
shot to death by two masked burglars
early this morning in his bed room. His
son Asa, who heard the noise, rushed to
his fathers rescue and opened fire on the
burglars through close door with rife.
The burglars returned the fire and Asa
was perhaps mortally wounded.
The battle in the hall was terrible one.
So close were the burglars to Asa Chinn
that there are powder burns on his face,
His room is. directly In front of that of his
parents, and he had scarcely gotten to
sleep when his mothers screams aroused
him. The two burglars stood at the bed
side Of Mr.. and Mrs. Chinn, and, striking
q match, covered them with their re-
the light of this match that Mrs. Chinn
saw their green masks.
