MINER is TERRIBLY BEATEN
Crew of Freight Train Saves James
Jennings From Death at Hands
of Mexican

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO. Jan. flames
Jennings, Goldfeld miner who was
en- route to Los Angeles, lies at the
county hospital here tonight in crit
ical condition. That he was not mur-
dered he owes to the timely appearance
of a Santa Fe freight train, the crew
OF which rescued him from a Mexican
who was beating his life out with an
iron rod.
Jennings says he fell in with the
Mexican at Victor and started out on
foot with him from Hesperia. They
had gone but mile or two when sud-
denly the Mexican, so Jennings says,
attacked him with a heavy iron rod and
began to beat him on the head and
shoulders.
Jennings went down under the blows
but recovered enough to rise just as a
Santa Fe freight train rounded curve
near by. He gathered his rapidly wan
ing strength and ran toward the train,
the crew of which saw him. He fell
senseless before reaching the train,
but was placed on board and brought
to this city.
Reaching Hesperia the train crew
spread the alarm and soon searching
parties were out after the Mexican.
He was captured two hours later in
hiding. He will be brought here by
officers in the morning. 1t is supposed
that robbery was the motive for the
attack.

MANY BOGUS CERTIFICATES
Large Sum Has Been Realized by
Sale of Fake Stock
Shares
Bv Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Following the
arrest today of Samuel Humphreys,
newspaper writer" on a charge of sell
ing bogus certificates of 100 shares of
the Norfolk SS Western Railway COM
pany to a dealer in securities in this
city, 1t was learned that 500 of the
bogus certificates were rinted and that
the operations appear to have been
planned on a large scale. AS only four
or five of the certificates have been dis
covered and each of them is for 100
shares with an aggregate market value
of about $4,000, it is evident that the
amount realized by the operators is
very large if they have disposed of
many of the certificates. The police
say that they believe that at least
three men had a hand in the transac-
tion.
Humphreys was arraigned on an affi-
davit alleging that he acted in concert
with C. Augustus Seton in selling a
forged certificate to Barnard & Clark
of this city last September for $4,000.
He was held in $500 bail for eXamina-
tion tomorrow. In default of bail he
was remanded to police headquarters.

SAN FRANCISCO Jan. 11.-Informa-
tlon from reliable sourse says that
Jacob Gould Schurman, president of
Cornell university, is likely to succeed
DR.. Harper as the head of the Univer-
sity of Chicago. 1t is also said that
John d. Rockefeller favors William II.
Z. Faunce, president of Brown uniyer-
sity, for the position.
DR.. Faunce from 1889 to 1899 was
pastor of the Fifth Avenue church in
New York which Mr.. Rockefeller at
tends and was formerly treasurer In the
University of Chicago. 1t is not prob
atle that any successor will he chosen

Harry p. Judson, head of faculties, viii
act as president. Dr. JudSon himself
is mentioned as among prominent can
didates for the place of president.
The difficulty caused by the provision
of the charter of the university that
the president must be a Baptist in
good standing was commented upon.
This provision of the charter reads:
Shall be irrevocable forever" Even
SO, it is said the charter might be
amended or anulled and a new one
granted, if necessary or highly eXpedi-
ent, only that certain contracts exist in.
volving the vested interests in form OF
conditional donations.
The practical contract, which binds
the divinity school, the old Baptist the

providing that they must have the same
PRESIDENT, is also a stumbling block tc
an amendment which the late president
and even founders are said secretly to
have favored.

WILSON MAKES
STRONG APPEAL
MUST HAVE MEAT INSPECTOR
OR LOSE TRADE
Secretary Says Congress Must Make
Appropriation or Fifty Millions
of Orders Will Be
Sacrificed
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. II. -" Unless
congress speedily grants the emergency
appropriation of $135,OOO requested by
me for additional inspectors and mi
croscopists it is probable that over $780,
100000 worth of orders for American
pork and beef products placed by Ger
man dealers will go untitled"
This statement was made by Secre-
tary Wilson today. Anticipating the
high rates of duty on products emanat-
ing in the United States imposed by
the new German tariff, which will be-
come effective March 1 next, and Ger
many at the present time being in ur-
gent need Of meat supplies, Secretary
Wilson said that German dealers have
flooded the packing houses of this
country with orders.
In speaking of this condition of af-
fairs he referred to recent structures
on his action in creating what was
stated to be a deficiency of $135, 600 the
amount asked by him. in alleged viola
tion of the statute on this subject en-
acted during the last congress.
These statements" he said, do me
a grave injustice and do not credit
me with trying to relieve our packers
from the desperation in which they
have been placed by reason of the lack
of proper inspection force"
He declared that he had created no
deficiency, but that, on the contrary,
he was asking only for an emergency
appropriation TO meet the conditions
which an enormously increased bust
ness of the last few months with no
increase in the inspection force had
created.
"I am strongly in favor of having
the packers pay all the expenses Of
inspection" continued the secretary,
such inspections to be under govern
mental supervision. of course. In
fact, they voluntarily have expressed
a willingness to do this and in the
present instance have offered to do it.,
but there is no law by which such an
arrangement can be made
