A BIG BUFFALO TRUST
THE LATEST COMBINE

Major Gordon W. Lille. president of I
the Arkansas Valley National Bank, at /
Pawnee. Okla. who is known through I
out the West as "Pawnee BILL has /
bought a tract OF 500 acres Of land just |
west OF KcnOsha Wis. In The early /
spring he Will transport to that city the /
first herd of wild buffalo ever brought
east Of the Mississippi River.
Incidentally. Major Lille will teach
the people Of the Middle West some new
things 10 regard TO the organization OF
trusts and combines In the live stock
world. \ miIliOn-doIlar buffalo trust Is
one OF the oldest combinations Of capital
ever formed in this time Of combination
but Major Lille. through the aid OF
Lloyd F. Nicodemus, has managed TO
bring about such a combination and bis
trust is so securely formed that the sta
tistics or the Government show that he
trust has coralied every wild buffalo in
the United States and Canada and in
fact in the entire world.
The monarch Of the plains has served
his time in his original state and in the
future il is the purpose Of Major Lille
TO force this great herd Of buffalo 10 as
sist in furnishing the meat supply for
great cities like Chicago and New York.
Major Lille is one OF the great be-
levers In the West. He has made and
/ lost half a dozen fortunes among the
Western wilds, and is one OF the few
men who are Ioath TO see the disappear
ance Of the features that have made the
Western part OF this country famous
as the home Of tho Indian and the COW
/ boy. To hand this picture OF early
America down to posterity Major Lille
has arranged TO transport 10 the East
/ portion OF the people who have made
| this life possible, and they viii be set
/ tied on the large farm along with the
buffalo.
/ The Indians who were formerly scat
tered over the plains and mountains are
( fast disappearing. and their wigwams
are being replaced by the tents of the
I American soldier. The buffalo has dis
4 appeared the cowboy with mis- big hat
and leather trappings is nothing more
than a common herder of cattle. and the
trapper who dealt in the pelts OF the
! denizens of that western border is only
I q tradition. Even the old stage which
made the Western scouts famous
throughout the world in this modern
time has become d myth. and the old
stage routes are now traVersed by pal
ace cars.
Major Lille grew up in this scene. and
II is his purpose TO preserve a little OF
the Primeval life and hand down 10
other generations one Isolated colony

Grand Central StatiOn Plans.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The officials
Of the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad have under considera-
lion stupendous plan for the recon-
struction of the Grand Central rail-
way station, so that it will ultimately
grow into a mammoth twenty story
building. covering the entire site of the
present station and part Of the rail-
road yard and including large hotel
nearly twice as large as the Waldorf
Astoria, department store of great di-
mensions, theater an office building,
lunch rooms, reading rooms, cab sheds
and station proper.

he receives $40. 81; female teachers
there receive $s2.75 or the average;
here they receive S5S.23.
The amount paid Pennsylvania
teachers is only s. per month more
than Florida school teachers are
paid, and only 81 more than Ken
lucky pays
SOME GET IT GEMS A DAY.
These, of course are only average
figures. There are school teachers
in Pennsylvania to day working for
II cents per day. There are hun
dreds working for S. per day, five
days in the week. There are thous-
ands teaching for less than a day
laborer's pay.
Here is strange fact i'll this
connections: In one district in
Pennsylvania the teacher employed
receives less money than the town.
ship authorities would be compelled
to pay to maintain her in the coun-
ty almshouse.
1t is also a regretable fact that in
certain districts in this State the
school directors pay out for teach
ers salaries less money than they
receive from the State as their quota
Of the school fund.
In some school districts in the
State the taxation for school pur-
poses is so low as to be scarcely
worthy the name of taxation. The
aim Of the directors in such cases is
to keep the school term down strict
ly to the minimum length and re-
duce the teachers salaries to the
lowest possible point.
This largely applies to the rural
districts. In the cities, towns, and
boroughs, better wages are paid to
teachers. The question of better
pay for teachers has long agitated
leading educators, and the problem
has been, how to secure results!
LEGISLATURE SHOULD ACT.
"The Press" submits figures on
the question of teachers wages 1t
is up to the Legislature to involve
way OF increasing them.
A bill fixing the minimum salary
of any certified school teacher in
Pennsylvania at $40 per month
would help solve the matter.
Pennsylvania has more school
houses than any other State in the
union.
| Pennsylvania's Legislature ap-
propriates more money to the sup
port Of the public schools than any
Legislature on the continent.
Pennsylvania public school teach
ers receive smaller salaries in pro-
portion to the money spent than
any school teachers in the United
States.
Facts like these disclose a
serious problem upon which those
who are interested in educational
progress in Pennsylvania are to-day
working.

TEACHERS POORLY PAID.
Pennsylvania Pedagogues Receive Less
Than Those OF N ost Other States.

The matter of teachers salaries
is receiving some attention in the
legislature, a bill having been pre-
sented to make $40 the lowest
salary. The Philadelphia Press Of
Monday presents the matter very
fully. 1t says:
Should Pennsylvania have a
school teachers minimum salary
bill2
This is a question that will COM
mand the earnest attention of men,
bers of the Legislature. 1t is
notorious fact that the imperial
State of Pennsylvania stands far
down on the lists of States when it
comes to a comparison of wages
paid to its public school teachers.
There are 80, 900 school teachers
in Pennsylvania.
1t is vast army of enthusiastic
and brainy men and women, many
of whom have spent considerable
money in educating themselves for
this calling. Yet in scores of dis
tricts they receive the wages of er-
rand boys in city store.
Thousands of these school teach
ers receive less wages per month
than unskilled laborers who mend
roads in the country and sweep the
streets Of the great cities.
SERVANT GIRLS BETTER PAID.
An immigrant girl, unable to
speak a word of English, but who
can do ordinary house work, can,
within ten days after her arrival
secure situation by which she car
earn more money per month than q
female school teacher in certain
districts in Pennsylvania. This car
be demonstrated by figures from the
Department of Education.

Wilkes. Barre, has delivered the first
of series of sermons based on reasons
why men do not attend church. He
has canvassed prominent citizens and
obtained their views.
He found, he said, that most gave
as the excuse, indifference and the
cares of business, and others that min
listers do not keep sufficiently in touch
with the people by making house to

do not practice what they preach and
that as church members are inconsist-

Riotous Scenes In Waterbury
Go on Unchecked.
STRIKING UNION MEN ATTACKED.

Encouutcr with Riotcrs-Non-
union Conductor shot At.
Two Arrcsta Mndc.

WATERBURY,, Conn, Feb. 4.-ln
rpite Of the admirable policing in the
center Of the city that section was not
without its sensational Incidents. This
time, however, it was the strikers ana
their patrons who were the victims.
From crowd which had gathered
near the Waterbury club on North
Main street q union bus was attacked
witt stones. Patrick Flynn Il striker,
acting as conductor of the bus, was
struck on the head. OF the twelve pas
sengers in the vehicle, nine of whom
were women. two were hit Mrs.
James Aubrey was struck on the hand
and Miss Susan Coyle received a hard
blow on the shoulder. No trolley car
was in the locality, and to those who
witnessed the affair it seemed ap-
parent that the attack was directed
against the striking union men. The
incident occasioned much comment.
Late last night the details of an in
cident of the day leaked out in which
a private of company c, Second regi-
ment, Robert Duncan, was more or
less seriously injured in an encounter
with rioters. While on patrol duty a
stone was hurled at Duncan. Later he
was set upon by rioters. He undertook
to defend himself with his bayonet,
when his assailants seized the gun and
struck the soldier in the groin with the
stock. The blow was Il serious one,
and the injured mans condition was
such that it was deemed advisable to
send him to his home in New Haven.
The first gunshot of the strike was
fired at 10 o'clock last night, if the
story told by a nonunion conductor is
true. At that hour a trolley car on its
return trip cityward from Brooklyn via
Bank street was driven at high speed
to the car barns, where the troops are
quartered. To the officer in command
the white faced conductor reported
that he had been shot at, and for the
moment there was some excitement
The thoroughly frightened conductor
insisted that he was not mistaken and
that as his car was leaving the end OF
the line gun was discharged in the
direction of the car. The troops were
unable to trace the thing, and the ex
