BURIED IN HAY A WEEK.
Young Woman Burrows Out From
Under 20 Tons of Feed.

Marion. Ohio. Aug. 5.-After being
buried under 25 tons of hay for a
week, without food or water, during
which time a bloodhound and hun
dreds of searchers passed within a
few feet of her, Miss n. A Black a
Pittsburg school teacher, who last
Monday evening left a local sana-
forum, was found yesterday. She
probably will recover.
She was discovered by two men on
farm alongside the old hay barn
near which all trace of her was lost
Tuesday.
Miss Black says she took a stroll
into the country and when dusk was
falling started home. 1t was chilly
and she was but thinly clad. She en-
tered a hay barn, got inside the hay
and fell asleep. Tuesday morning the
owner of the barn began filling the
barn with new hay and by night 1t was
full to the rafters.
Yesterday, almost crazed by thirst,
the woman burrowed out of the barn
but was so weak she fell where she
was found. M

HAS A LITTLE LEFT.
Rockefeller Makes a Present to a
Newly Welded Couple.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 5.-Mr. Rookie
feller's poise has not been at all dis
turbed by the $29,24O.00O fine i'm
posed upon the Standard Oil company
His nonchalance is superb.
This is the age of big things" he
remarked sentimentally when the
news of the fine reached him. Sun
day morning, smiling, suave, with
nerves steady as a clock, his wit not a
jot blunted by the blow, he appeared
at service at the Euclid Avenue Bap-
fist church. When a reporter referred
to the action of the court he came
back promptly with jest.
Excuse me a moment said Mr..
Rockefeller, there is a young mar
ried couple for whom I have a small
gift
You don't mean to say that you are
giving away gifts after the decision of
the court in Chicago" suggested the
reporter.
This is a little that is left over" he
rejoined with a twinkle in his eye.
This incident recalled a somewhat
similar scene in France last summer.
A newspaper man had read for Rock
efeller's benefit a speech bv President
Roosevelt the doctrine that great
fortunes are sinful. He heard it
through without comment. Half an
hour later he arose to return to his
chateau.
"Going to ride or walk % the re-
potter asked.
WELL" replied Mr.. Rockefeller, ct
had intended to walk, but since our
president says it is sin to be rich, I
suppose I may as well spend my
money and ride"
There has rarely been such an ex-
ample of self repression as Mr.. Rock
efeller displays Lucky" Baldwin
possessed the virtue, but only to a
limited extent as compared with Mr..
Rockefeller. To see him and talk
with him, note the vigorous clasp of
the hand, the rudy cheek, steady I'M
faltering voice. it was hard to realize
that a corporation of which he is the
guiding head had been fined a fortune
which must come out of his own
pocket.
what have you to say about II"
was asked.
Not a word" he replied and he
persisted in that attitude of silence.
cause of their disappointment.
Don't look so disappointed" he
said, you have nothing to be sorry
for. Come out and play golf tomor-
row; it is the greatest game in the
world to keep you in trim"
He took the Rev. John Wilson of
London, who officiated in the Euclid
avenue pulpit, home with him in his
motor car and bowed smilingly to the
unusually big crowd.
But if Rockefeller says nothing
about the fine, if he preserves a smil-
ing face before the world and seems to
make a jest of it, there is behind the
mask a feeling of detection and dis
appointment. Though he will not talk
for publication, it is known that
Rockefeller believes he is the victim
of gross injustice.
There was a significant moment
closing the services in this church
when the Rev. Mr.. Wilson prayed for
divine guidance for the lawmakers Of
the nation and those who interpret
and administer the laws. With bowed
head. Rockefeller heard the prayer
ton.

Spends Millions for Jewels.

Berlin, Aug 5.-King Chulalong-

on his tour of Europe, has had to call
in physicians to attend him. He has
been indisposed for some days, it is
reported, as the result of an acute at
tack of malaria. The king, who has a
fad for jewelry is credited with hav-

don firm has sold to the king Jewels
valued at 1925, 900. In Frankfort the
king spent 100000 for jewelry.

Further than this the secretary was
not prepared to make any statement.
He explained that there was such a
very large number of bids that to-
make any deductions as to the lowest

IRON HAND BACKS CARS RULE,
Premier soIypin Reads Declaration Of
Government to Duna,

Premier soIypin Reads Declaration Of
Government to Dun1a.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 1.-The decla.
ration of the government. read by Pre-
mier Stolypin before the duma yester.
day was received with dismay by the
Octoberists and the Constitutional
Democrats, and with open exultation
by the members of the Right party.
The keynote Of the address was re-.
iteration of the idea of the autocratic
power of the emperor as the sole
guarantee of security and welfare in
an era of disorder. The announce.
ment also was made that the duma
is expected to take it's cue from the
administration in the matter of legis.
ton, and the premier outlined what
future legislation was expected. He
excoriated the radical parties as fos.
terers of crime and sedition, and said
their excuses would no longer be toll
Grated in Russia. This statement is
taken to show that the administra-
ton looks with disfavor upon any al
lance between the Octoberists and
the Constitutional Democrats.
The premier was constantly inter-
rupted by applause from members Of
the Right, but at the conclusion of
his address there was scarcely hand
clap from the Octoberists' ranks.
