ANOTHER
BIG WAR
Governor Chamberlain Says
it's WrOngtOFOrce Social
Equality Issue

SO serious does Governor Cham
berlain regard the social questions Of
the west and south that he predicts
that II will terminate in another
civil war. If not an international one,
in the course of time.
The question came up during a
discussion of the recommendation
contained in the message of President
Roosevelt, that the public schools be
thrown open to the entrance of Jap
anese, which created such a furore
of dissent In California, and of which
suggestion the governor does not APP
prove. He does not believe that the
line of social distinction between the
Caucasian and colored races of peo-
Piles will ever be erased: in fact. he
thinks the social relations between
them are growing more strained all
the time and the feelings Of repul-
sion against the colored races are
becoming so intensified that trouble
is almost certain to ensue ultimately.
81 believe" said the governor,
that all matters pertaining to the
public schools and the government
OF public educational institutions
should be left entirely to the con-
troll of the local state government.
Neither congress nor any other
branch of the federal government
should attempt to dictate how these
schools should be run or TO regulate
them in any manner or form.
what do the people of the New
England states know OF the status
of the race question in the west and
south? Il IS just such dictatorial at
titudes as this that are bound. sooner
or later. TO precipitate trouble, and
the west and south will stand to-
gether solldly when they are forced
to an issue upon the subject.
This color question is developing
pretty serious proportions in the
south. and. II carried to extremes,
the whites will cultivate a more pro-
nounced aversion to the oriental
races and such thing as social
equality between the two peoples Is
growing more and more an impos-
sibility each year, There is a special
school in San Francisco for the
oriental, as there Is in Washington
for the negro. and whoy should Il
be necessary to attempt TO change
these conditions? say let well
enough alone"
Governor Chamberlain says that
the negro OF the south has sunk to
such low degree of moral degreda-
tion that he is little short of a brute
In human form and that he will go
forth and commit crimes of the most
heinous order II hidden so to do by
his employer, and that social equal
ity" in that section of the country is
a practical impossibility.

SPRING TURNS CREDIBLE CAKE.

The housewife seldom experiences
any trouble in turning her griddle or
batter cakes. but to make the opera
ton easier a Pennsylvania man has
invented the novel cake turner shown
In the illustration. Turning the han
die to turn the cakes is not neces-
sary with the device. All that is re-
CURED is to press a spring after the
cake has been put on the litter and
the turning is done automatically.
The cake turner is made in two parts
the handle section and the litter
section. The latter comprises the
cake turner and the rod connecting
it to the handle. At the end of the
rod is beveled pinion which lifts
into sector pivoted to the side Of
the handle. the sector being made
into one piece with finger piece.

RICHEST OF WIDOWS.

Mrs. Russell Sage, although she
has devoted many years of her life to
charity and philanthropy, is by no
taking into account every practical
question concerned. Her years of as
ISOLATION with her husband and the
Insight which she has obtained into
business matters make her pre-emi-
nently fitted to undertake the great
task imposed upon her by the will of
her husband She believed that some
day his wealth would be the means of
doing untold good and she has pre-
pared herself to disburse it to pro-
duce the best results.
Mr.. Sage taught her to see every
thing from it's practical side, rather
than merely from its sentimental as
pect, and in her charities, which have
been numerous, she has been actual
ed by that same spirit She was Of
much assistance to Miss Helen Gould
In the organization and management
OF her beneficiaries designed to honor
the name of her father, the late Jay
Gould.
Mrs. Sage has well developed pow
ers of administration, and that the
care of the great fortune will be con-
Quoted with ability is the opinion Of
those who know her best.
Mrs. Sage is the second wife Of
Russell Sage. Her home was SYRIA
cuse, N. ", where she was born, in
1928. Her early education was re-
ceived in the schools of her native
city, and she then attended the Troy
Female Seminary, since aided by her
husband. and now called the Emma
Willard School. She was graduated
from the institution in 1847, and has
always been one of the most enthu-
siastic of the alumnae.
She met Mr.. Sage In Troy, and was
friend of his first wife. Their mar
riage took place in 1869. Soon after
that he moved to New York to try
his fortune in Wall Street.
Mrs. Sage sympathized with her
husband in his endeavors to build up
what he considered source of power
and often influenced him to aid
worthy objects. AS age crept upon
him she was unremitting in her care
Of him. He often said, 'The loving
care of tender wife such as mine is
the greatest gift which a man can
have"
She believed in him and felt that
often he was misunderstood The
epitaph for his monument, II have
done the best that could by the
light of the day, was her suggestion.
In recent years she devoted her life
to the care of him, and in the last
two or three years she perceptibly
aged under the strain.

the vicinity OF the port were de-
stroyed and that there have been ser

| The Mayor of Valparaiso sent word
that he did not know the number of
killed or injured.
The known number of dead does
not exceed one hundred, according
to the best estisS ates.
Among the dead is the wife Of
Admiral Montt, a distinguished naval
commander.
People arriving here from Valpar-
also say the situation there, though
distressing, has been exaggerated
Senior Gree, one Of the refugees
from Valparaiso says:
The first shock was prolonged
and threw IL e whole city into indie
scribable panic. People crowded the
streets and the squares, crying and
lamenting The first shock also
threw down number of buildings.
THE second shock was still more
severe and resulted in the crumbling
of most of the buildings in the AL
mendral quarter.
Immediately after The second
shock the city was plunged into ter
rifying darkness, but this did not
last long, for fires soon started. The
lights from the flames came as
welcome relief to the darkness The
people were in an extreme state of
terror, many believing that the end
OF the world had come.
According to others the people Of
Valparaiso are utterly exhausted and
will fec the city as soon as the rail-
ways are running again.
The water pipes were broken and
water poured through the streets
There is even lack of water to drink.
Provisions are scarce and hunger
is beginning 10 make itself felt The
Government has ordered it's war
ships stationed at Talcahuano to take
to Valparaiso Immediately the most
needed necessities of life.
More than 10000 persons have
taken refuge in the hills surrounding
Valparaiso, which were not much dis
turbed by the shocks.
Among the buildings destroyed
were the Victoria Theatre, the Bella
vista Railroad station and the Club
de Setrembe. Most of the severe
damage was done on the low ground
reclaimed from the sea.
The Church of the Espiritu Santo
and the Church of La Marced, as well
as large part of the buildings on
Victoria street, were destroyed.

wrecked.

and combining the alleged leaders of
this movement, who were strongly
