the mine workings.
The streets are crowded with the rela-
tives and friends Of those known TO be en-
tonbed- The women are behaving In q most
heroic manner.
The latest theory this evening Of the
cause OF the disaster Is that It was due to
a rockslide. which carried the top Of Turtle
Mountain down upon the village below. II
is now thought that what was at first sup
posed to be the smoke OF q volcano was
dust. and that the continued fall OF small
bits of rock during the day was merely the
aftermath OF the original rockslide. A rep
etition OF the calamity Is now considered
unlikely"

LAW At WASHBURN.
Steps Taken to Convert 1t Into
a University.

If the proposed plan of DR.. A. S. En-
bree to use the Chrisman money to
establish a professional and technical
school in Topeka is carried out it is
likely to provoke warfare in Topeka.
The Washburn college trustees claim
that they are already in the field and
they don't propose TO reIinquish their
plans, which We're announced by Presi-
dent Norman Plass in his inaugural ad-
dress last fall.
Washburn intends to establish a law
department, medical department and
dental department, and has its commit
tees at work on the preliminaries now.
Tuesday evening the friends Of the En-
bree plan will hold meeting at the Meth
odist church to talk over their plans
Several prominent professional men Of To-
pel1s will speak, and if the sentiment
seems to be strong enough. preliminary
steps viii be taken for carrying out the
plan. The Chrisman money is said to
amount to about 10000, which will have tc
be doubled by public subscription to be-
come available.
The plans for the organizati ton Of the
proposed law school of Washburn have
progressed so far that today one of the
trustees gave out q statement announcing
that the law school will be opened at the
beginning Of the next school year.

MEXICO AND TRUSTS.
President Diaz Drops a Hint and q
Conspiracy Collapses.

If the gentlemen in Washington and

to solve the monopoly problem in this

find to their advantage. The strenuous

TIMES Of the Mexican republic is given
to taking short cuts and IS not in the
habit of being hamDered by red tape On
legal formulas. Just at this time the
story of how he tanned a Yankee Octupus
that had found its way into his bailiwick
may be of interest.
Some months ago the Mexican Central
railroad suddenly changed hands and
thereon hangs a tale. 1t appears that a
Mexican, while trying to obtain water
near TamDico. struck oil He was lgS
ncrant of the value of his discovery. but
a chance American recognized it and tho
two went into partnership in the oil
business, doing eventually large and
earth Mexico is in the grip OF the Oh
monopoly and the big concern was soon
aware of tie operations of the humble
pair who nad ventured tOs do business
for themselves. An offer to buy them
cut was made ana refused The cor
pora TONS agents FASTENED to San Fran
cisco and soon the news came out that
the Mexican Central had changed hands.
The trusts agents knew why the road
had been sold even if the public Gid not,
and the old familiar process of putting
the screws to the Mexican and his
Yankee partner was at once begun. The
trick was played that has folR years
driven out OF business every American
oil producer who has dared to stand our
against the trust A tariff was adooteu
which practically prohibited the sale OF
Tampico oil fifty miles from that place
and the two humble partners were
forced to suspend operations.
But they were not to be beaten 50
easily. They wasted no time in taking
their grievance to court, but proceeded

their case before President Diaz, and

STATISTICAL TESTIMONY
Presented Before Strike Commission
by the Reading Company.

W tA0 LsSdO4AS O11pHAys
Philadelphia, Feb. z.-statistical testi-
nony was presented today by the Read
ing company to the anthracite coal
strike commission.
w. w. Riley of this city who con-
ducts a bureau maintained by the coal
carrying roads for the purpose of col
Letting statistics concerning the hard
coal production, said the government
utilizes the data collected by this bu-
reau. He said his reports were based on
the statements furnished monthly by the
railroads.
A C Wilson of Pottsville. a land
agent in the employ Of the company,
testified to the amount Of taxes paid bg
the corporation in the mining region
Statements were introduced showing
the average annual earnings of en-
ployes other than mine workers in a
number of Pennsylvania cities. The
number of wage earners affected by
these statistics were AIS, 7S0, the avera &c
individual earnings being. given as $462
annually.
Tables showing the comparative bank
statistics of the anthracite, bituminous
and agricultural sections Of Pennsyl-
vania were also presented. The per
were given as $3.50. A statement of
the tax statistics showed the value OF
taxab bic property in the anthracite re-
gion to be S215.5S9 152.
Counsel for the mine workers today
took occasion to correct the statement
published recently that the union had
withdrawn its demand for payment by
weight in the Schuylkill region. The de-
mande had never been made, he said,
with regard to the Schuylkill field, and
consequently could not have been with
drawn.
