Run Short Of Iron Inside OF q Century.
WASHINGTON, March 1o.-The worlds
supply Of coal and iron lie treated in Daily
Consular Reported by Consul-Genera Mason
OF Paris, who predicts that the United States
Is likely to run short of iron inside of a CEN
fury by the continued yearly absorption of
IS. 900, 900 tons, which is more than one-third
Of the worlds total consumption. He sug-
gests the sale Of American coal to Europe in
exchange for iron, especially in view OF the
prospective advance Of British coal prices.
The world has only 10000, 600 900 tons Of
iron ore available, Germany. Russia and
France each possessing more than this
country. In the comparison Of coal qualities
the Consul says hat the advantage OF North
America over European countries lie over
whelming, and that with what is now own
the present 2so 900 600 tons annual output
OF American bituminous coal can be main
tained for hundreds Of years without ex-
haustion, while the European coal fields are
running out, On the other hand the fore
most British metal journal predicts an iron
famine in about half a century.

ITHACA, March 10.-Denied a banquet
with the usual preliminary conflicts between
freshmen and sophomores, the C~ornellunder
classmen swooped down tow tonight, and
for two hours fairly ran the city. All
places Of business, including the saloons
were closed for a time to keep out the wild
mob. The students, with brooms burning
and fireworks booming, paraded the main
streets until well nigh exhausted, when
they went up the hill without the expected
clash between the two under classes. Over
ahundred special officers were sworn in, and
their presence tended to hold the demon-
stration within bounds.

to T. J. Dickinson accidentally caught
fire at o'clock yesterday afternoon
while 1t was being piloted across the
BGelan bridge to North Topeka. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dickinson who were the occupants
of the automobile did not notice that
an apron underneath the vehicle used
to catch dripping gasoline had caught
fire until the odor of the burning cloth
became distinctly noticeable. When
they stopped at the north approach Of
the bridge to Investigate they found
that the woodwork underneath the car
was starting to burn. Mr.. Dickinson
ran to q nearby store and telephoned in
a IRE alarm. The equipment from sta
tions No. 1 and 3 responded and the fire
was put out with small damage It is
thought a half consumed match or cigar
stub fell upon the apron setting it on
fire.

with his work as a druggist he was
also considered an experienced chemist

this branch. He has been connected
with many of the prominent murder
trials of the state where the services of
an expert chemist were required. It
was he who examined the stains on
the trousers in the Cal Heck trial
and pronounced them to be those Of
human blood.
After having secured his diploma
at the state university he returned to
Topeka and Identified himself with
the drug firm of Swift & Holiday,
where he remained for seven years,
resigning his position to take charge
of the pharmaceutical department of
the Santa Fe hospital, where he re-
manned until he purchased the store
on the corner of Fourth street about
a year ago. Martin O'Donneu was a
quiet unassuming young man. barely
sc years of age. who had made many
friends. especially among the doctors
and surgeons of the city, by whom he
was recognized as one of the most
efficient men in his line of work in the
west

morning at o'clock from the
church of the Ass11rnption. and the
fnterment will be in the Catholic
cemetery The druggists of the city

in His Room.

Martin O'DonneII, a druggist who
owned the store at the corner Of
Fourth street and Kansas avenue, was
found dead in his bed at 8 o'clock
Sunday morning by his porter, who
had gone to his apartments to awaken
him The porter went to the room
where Mr. O'Donneu had been Sleep
ing to awaken him, as Sunday was the
day he was supposed to relieve his
clerk, Mr. A. GibIer, and open the
store. He carried a key. as part OF
his duties consisted of caring for the
room. He entered and called to his
employer several times, and not get
ting a response went to the side of
the bed and grasping his arm at
tempted to awaken him. It was then
that he discovered that he was dead
though the body was still warm and
indicated that he had been dead but
a short time.
Doctors johnson and Fay. as well as
Coroner Keith, were Immediately sum-
moned and decided that death had re-
suited some time during the night
from heart failure. The body was
lying on the bed just as he had dis
robed for the night and at a distance
the appearance was that of sleep.
There had not been a struggle and it
is probable that he had dropped off
into sleep and never wakened, dying
