TO ENRICH THE POOR
MExIco's RICHEST MAN MAY DIS
TRIBUTE MILLIONS.
Thousands of Alvarado's Countrymen
to Receive Aid from him-He May
Yet Pay His country's Ma
tionaI Debt-Rapid Rise.

City of Mexico.--Dame Rumor has
1t that Don Pedro Alvarado, the rich
est man among the Mexicans, is about
to distribute several million pesos
among the poor of his country. He is
the owner of the phenomenal Palmil-
10 mine, in Parral, state OF Chihuahua,
and his only peer in wealth is Don
Luis Terrazas, ex-governor of the
state of Chihuahua, and father-in-law
of Hon. Enrique Clay Creel, the new
Mexican ambassador to Washington.
Alvarado Is rated at $l5O,OOO,OO0,
Mexican money. OF course, that Is
moderate fortune alongside those OF
Rockefeller, Belt and other billion
aires, but the Mexican millionaire, II
Dame Rumor is correct, is about to
teach a lesson to many a man who
might proftably go and do likewise.
1t is said that Don Pedro will dis
tribute the sum of ten million pesos
among the needy poor of Mexico soon.
1t is not his plan to give the cash
outright, but to provide homes and
lands for the poor, and equip them so
they can earn their living at trades
and on plantations. 1t is a sort of CO
operative plan; this philanthropic
man will cooperate with Providence
in the undertaking that will have
the effect of making 10000 Next
cans independent, educate as many
poor children and give away a
few odd millions every year. Ever
since he got his money he has spent
large sums along just such lines,
and the new idea therefore is
but a broadening of old methods on
his part, for he has always been lib
eral to the poor and has erected quite
number of churches and school
houses where they were needed in tn
great state of Chihuahua.
Six years ago Don Pedro Alvarad
was a poor miner, but soon fell unde

Carry Out His Threat.
New York-General Antonio Pare
DIES, who proposed to have landed at
Pedernales, Venezuela, to begin re-
volt against President Castro, sailed
from this port on December % last

he was intercepted by the British au-
thorities. He thereupon went to a
point whence he embarked.
Pedernales, where he landed, is a
small town in the state of Maturin, in
the eastern part of the country. Pa
redes, it is said, has 5000 rifles and
a million cartridges. His agents here
declare that he expects to rally an
army Of from 5000 to 5000 men.
General Paredes is about 35 years
of age and served in he Venezuelan

SETTLE JAP MIDDLE
PRESIDENT and CALIFORNIANS
AGREE TO AGREE.
School Question Can Be Adjusted
Without Danger of Any Serious DIFF
ficuIty With Japan-state Depart
ment to Conclude Diplomatic Nego.
tlatlons as Result Of Conference.

President Roosevelt and the authori-
ties of San Francisco have reached
the mutual understanding that the
California Japanese school question
can be adjusted without danger of any
serious difficulty with Japan. It was
authoritatively stated that the one ac-
complishment of the first conference
was a mutual understanding that set
tlement could be reached which would
be satisfactory and leave no ground
for trouble.
The California delegation came. to
Washington, it is said, with nothing
in the nature of an ultimatum, but
rather open to the consideration of
any basis of settlement which the adj
ministration might propose.
The conference took place at the
White House Saturday afternoon. 1t
was attended by President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root, representing the
administration, and Mayor E. f.
Schmitz, the members of the board of
education, the superintendent of
schools and the assistant city attorney
of San Francisco, representing the
educational interests of the city.
The conference, in accordance with
an understanding reached earlier in
the day, when Mayor Schmitz saw the
president, with Representatives Kahn
and Hayes, began shortly after
o'clock, The Californians resched the
executive offices shortly before that
hour and halted for few moments on
the steps, where they were photo
graphed in a group. Preceding their
call the president had been closeted
for some time with Secretary Root,
presumably to talk over the situation.
This over, the president cordially
greeted the Californians who had been
shown into his office, and after brief
formalities the conference was begun
Secretary Root remained, at the
presidents request, because OF the
fact that whatever diplomatic negotia
tions may arise as result OF the de
cision finally arrived at will have tc
be conducted by the state department

MAKES PRESENT OF $s2,ooo,ooo
Rockefeller Donates That Sum t
Schools,

Rockefeller Donates That Sum to
Schools.
Thirty-two million dollars worth of
income bearing securities was the gift
of John D. Rockefeller, through his
son, John d. Rockefeller, Jr,, an
nounced to the general education
board, when it assembled for spec
tal meeting in New York recently. The
gift, which is the largest single sum
every handed out for such purposes,
will be used for general educational
purposes throughout the country. Mr..
Rockefeller has previously given the
board $11,000,00O for the same work.
Worldwide will be the appreciation
Of the spirit which led John d. Rock
efeller to give in one donation $780,
100000 to the cause Of education in
the United States. 1t is truly said
that never in history has any man
given at one time so large a sum for
social and philanthropic purposes. The
liberality of Andrew Carnegie, great
as it has been, is unmarked by any
thing that compares with this gift by
Rockefeller and when it is borne in
mind that the $S2,OO0,0OO by no means
represents all of the latter's genera
sity the present donation stands out
all the more prominently
A recent statement of Rockefeller's
gifts to the University of Chicago
placed the total amount of $19,0O0,000
Previous gifts to the general educa-
ton board have been $1l,000,000. In
these three items there is a total OF
$62,00O,000 given for educational pur
poses. Rockefeller has, moreover
been liberal at one time or another in
donations to various colleges and uni
versities and for other philanthropiC
objects. 1t might not be wide of the
mark to say that an aggregate of SIS,
100000 out of his fortune has beer
thus diverted.
