ings ever held in Chicago, Mrs. Dora

woman were alone. Lying on cot
in the county jail hospital, unable eth
er to speak above a whisper or under
stand the unusual scenes around her
the helpless woman was surrounded
by Judge Newcomer and a score OF
witnesses. Earlier in the day ply
stefan informed the judge that Mrs.
Mcdonald would be unable to appear
in the courtroom. and preparations
were at once started to hold court in
the hospital.
When those interested in the case
appeared before her. the accused wo-
man rolled here eyes from side to side
in an apparent effort to realize her po-
sition. Her hair lay in confusion on
either side of her head and beside her
sat nurse to whom Mrs. Mcdonald
occasionally appealed for information
concerning the purpose of the strange
gathering Under the conditions the
story of the events following the trag-
edy were retold.

Fate-Head and Leg Found.

Vienna, March ia shop keeper
named Herring of Czikhosmas, in
Pennsylvania, has been devoured by
wolves. He left home with his van.
Next morning the horses attached to

search for her husband. On the road
the head and a leg of the man were
found, and further on lay the dead
body of a wolf. He had been attack
ed by wolves. He had shot one and
stopped his horse to pick up the ami
mails body. The horses however. be-
came seized with fright and rushed
off. Herring was now assailed OF all
sides with wolves. He had left his
gun in the van and was no longer able
to defend himself. The wild baasts
tore him to pieces. He is the third

THEATER ENGAGED BY
EX-SENATOR BURTON
Will Make an Address Day Fol-
lowing Release.
DISCLOSURES LOOKED FOR

Abilene, Kan, March 16.-Former
Senator H. r. Burton who is serving
a six months sentence in the county
Jail at Ironton, Mo-, and who will be
released next Friday has engaged the
Abilene theatre for the evening fol-
lowing the day of his release. He will
arrive home at o'clock and will
speak at o'clock. Fiends who acted
for Burton in securing the opera
house say they don't know what sub
ject will be discussed by the ex-Sena-
tor Burton has steadfastly refused
to make any public statement regard
ing his case. Practically the only adj
he has uttered was tat be
was made the "cats paw" Reports
from Ironton, since Burton's incar-
ceration have been to the effect that
he spends most of the time writing.
1t is believed he has spent manv
weeks preparing the address he will
make to the citizens of his home town
and some disclosures are looked for
at that time.

Said that He is Responsible
for Governor Signing APP
preparation Bill.
MEANS NO EXTRA SESSION
NUMBER OF MEASURES SIGNED
YESTERDAY WHILE OTHERS
WERE ALLOWED TO DIE A CON.
STlTUTIONAI DEATH.

Indianapolis. March 16.-Governor
Hanly late this afternoon signed the
general appropriation bill. the Boards.
ley bill, which regulates the sale of
liquors by druggists and vetoed the
bill which raises the salaries of coun-
cilmen in the city of Indianapolis.
The action of the governor was TAX
en- after a practical agreement had
been reached that no effort would be
made to draw any part of the appro-
priation of 5000 for the use OF a
jamestown exposition exhibit or com
mission.
During the early afternoon Lieuten-
ant Governor Miller and eN-Speaker
Branch were in consultation with
Governor Hanly and it was only after
talking with them that the governor
decided to sign the appropriation bill.
1t is thought that the action of the
chief executive in signing the bills has
practically pushed aside all thought
of an extra session of the legislature.
There is story in circulation to the
effect that President Roosevelt had
STEPPED in and requested that no action

legislature, at this time at least. ow-
ing to the fact-that it was feared such
move would mean railroad Iegisla-
ton, which coming at this time would
be rather disasterous. Friends of
Governor Hanly intimate that during
his recent visit east Hanly was in
conference with the president and that
such action was under discussion.
Governor Hanly this afternoon re-
fused to deny or affirm having been
called to Washington by the president
for consultation

five miners and the injury of twelve
others.
Two hundred and ten men went into

spread to the villages nearby that q
terrible disaster had occurred. Soon
almost the whole population OF the
countryside gathered at the mouth of
the shaft, among them being the fam
lilies of the men below. Rain was
falling heavily and the most distress
ing scenes of grief were witnessed as
the bodies were brought up by twos

of electric lights. Many of the bodies

IMMENSE FUND TO
EDUCATE CHINESE
Said that Rockefeller Plans to
Set Aside $50, 900, 900 for
Such Work.
FIVE GREAT INSTITUTIONS
ULTIMATE RISTIANIZATION OF
YELLOW RACE is THOUGHT TO
BE OIL KINGS IDEA-REPORT
UNCONFIRMED.

New York, March 16.-The report
that John D. Rockefeller plans the es-
tablishment of fund of upward $780,
100000, the avowed purpose of which
is to modernize and educate the Chi
nese race, is not confirmed among Mr..
Rockefeller's closest associates in
this city. 1t may, however, be true
Certain it is that during the last three
or four years Mr.. Rockefeller has been
devoting a great deal of attention to
study of the Improvement of educa-
tional methods, and he is known to be
much enraptured with the subject.
His recent wonderful gift to the cause
of education in America shows just
how he feels on the matter. Accord
ing to the plan, the report of which
comes from Washington, and former
minister to China, DENLY, credited as
the author. Mr.. Rockefeller is to give
the income of the money for the estab-
lishment and maintenance of educa-
tional institutes at Pekin, Tien Tsin,
Han Kow, Chi An Flu and Canton. The
plan is to make these educational in
situations as modern as possible and
instruct the Chinese race along mod
ern lines. 1t is asserted by those re-
sponsible for the report of Mr.. Rookie
feller's plan, is the ultimate christian
ization of the Chinese empire. He be-
lieves that the missionary work in Chi
ma has been along mistaken lines, and
his new plan is to educate and then
ChriStianiZe.
1t is impossible tonight to get any
statement from Mr.. Rockefeller'S per-
sonal attorneys in this city, or from
any members of the immediate Rookie
Teller family. Most of them declare
that they did not believe there was
in the report, although all adj
mitted that it might possibly be true.
Mr. Rockefeller himself is now in
the South. and as usual. up to the
present time, is inaccessible to news
paper correspondents.

DON'T BELIEVE THE RUMOR
Mr.. Spekenhier Thinks the Many

There was a rumor afloat In the

A. Spekenhier. who is member of
the committee to arrange the route
for the trip, stated last night that he
had not been appraised of any such
intenetions on the part of the promo
tiers. He is making an earnest en-
deavor to hold the trip as it is at
present arranged. and it is altogether
likely that he will be successful, as
F. III. Elliot secretary of the national
association has just written Mr.. Spe-
kenhier stating that he wishes to have
conference with him in indianapolis
next week. The local automobile club
is already making preparations with
the idea that the tour will come
