Tarrytown, N T., January 25.-(Special) Owing to the large number of unem- ployed persons in this vicinity, John D. Rockefeller has given orders to his su- perintendents that the hundreds of Ital- ians working on his estate be laid off and local men be given employment.
 The news was made known today, and it was hailed with delight. Rockefeller has been appealed to by the ministers and the wives of husbands out of employ ment They told him such patheticstories that he was touched and decided to come to the relief of the laboring men.
 The orders arc that all men be given work that report to his Pocantico Hills es- tate on Monday morning. Times have been harder here than usual this winter, and over 200 men with families have been out of work. They had little money and the storekeepers could not carry them over the winter because of tight money.
 The Italians were laid off today, and large numbers of them left town Many of them will go back to Italy
 In addition to giving men employment, MT. Rockefeller has given them perrnis- sion to go into his woods and cut wood to warm their homes.

Rome, January 25.-(Special. )-Ouida, the once famous novelist. died last night at the home of her faithful maid, 1solina Cervelli, near Florence, Italy, after a brief Illness Her death was due main- ly to old age, although it was hastened by the privations which she had been compelled to undergo in recent years and which brought on heart disease. She re- fused to accept any financial assistance from the many friends who desired to aid her when they learned of her distress.
 ''Ouida" whose real name was Louisa de Ia Rance, is said to have lived the whole of her latter life In dreams of a personal realization of events she tran- scribed from her own early days to in- corporate In Under Two Flags her masterpiece Her early life is enveloped In much mystery. It is known, how ever, that she was born in England in the early forties. Her father was wandering clergyman, who took her with him upon all his journeys into strange countries. In Northern Africa she met the Marquis of Tuscany, who fell in love with her. The love affair came to sorry termination. She fled from the Mar quis, went to England and began the production of an extraordinary series of novels that made her famous for nearly half a century.
 In the prime of her life Ouida found herself with an income of several hundred thousands of dollars a year. She spent it. framing for herself in Venice and Florence. the scenario of her most volup- tuous Actions.

GETS BERTH FOR
 STEALING WHEEL
Major Lawson Will In Future Drive Sweeping Chariots Through the
 Streets of Birmingham.

Glorious Americal Promoted to col- onel in his 17th year!
 By one brave act Major Lawson yes- terday distinguished himself above all his other fellows, and though only a kid, and a negro at that, he stepped forward Into the higher ranks Think how he smiled, cooked his hat on one ear and skipped into the barracks like a 2-year-oldl
 The wonderful deed which gave the major this honor was the larceny of a wheel. Bold daring, he rushed breathless to the sidewalk, bounced through the air on the bicycle, and the next moment was whizzing for dear life.
 Larue and Moore, blue coats, saw him in the act, generously lifted him on their shoulders, for he was col lapsed with emotion and gratitude, and carried him gently to Judge Feagin. The judge, as a reward for his bravery, bestowed upon him the title of colonel, as well. as $90 and 1S0 days.
 The guards brought striped robes for his back, and bracelets for his ankles and he shall drive sweeping chariots through the streets of Birmingham, for he is exalted above the ranks to live among the titled and the envied.

CONTENTION OYER
 OPPOSED MEMBER
PATRICK DoLAN, ONCE THROWN
 OUT OF THE UNITED MINE WORKERS ORGANIZATION, MAY
 BE REINSTATED.

Indianapolis January 25.-(Special) Patrick Dolan, deposed and thrown out of the United Mine Workers national meeting two years ago is to again play the interesting role of bone of con- tention for the delegates to the miners present national convention to fight over. He was this morning temporari- ly at least denied seat in the national convention. The credentials commit tee brought in its report and declared the credentials were given him in ac- cordance with the laws of the organ ization and by union that is in good standing. The committee reported. however that 1t found that the whole matter Is beyond It's authority and without recommendation the whole De- Ian affair was referred to the conven- tion.
 The report, though 1t did not recom- mend seating him, was favorable to Dolan. The anti Dolanftes. however, succeeded in getting through a motion to lay the whole matter on the table, Not a voice was raised in protest and the unanimous vote caused the dele gates to believe the Dolan case was settled for good.
 The Dolan case, however, is not closed.
 You can say" said E. S. McCul- tough, president of the Michiga miners, that the Dolan case was brought again before the convention. Dolan has ere dentials of a local union that Is in good standing and this convention has no right to deprive that local union Of representation, unless 1t can show req son for it."
 Mccullough was the spokesman for a large number of prominent dele gates and officers who corroborated his statement.
 One of the most important resolu- tions adopted today was signed by John Mitchell, declaring for the extension of the franchise to women.
 The convention also adopted a resolu- tion inviting William D. Haywood, sec retary-treasurer of the Western Fed eration of Miners, to address the con vention next Monday. Haywood VIII arrive in Indianapolis tomorrow

LONG DELAY OF NOVELIST ON HIS SEA TRIP CAUSED RUMoRS OF HIS DEATH TO BE cIRcu- LATED.

San Francisco, January 25.-Jack London, the author who left here last May on a seven-year trip around the world for literary work, and for whose safety fears. have been entertained, re- turned to this city today on the steam CT Mariposa, from Tahiti.

 We have had ab bsolutely no adven- tures,y said London, and the reasons for our delayed arrival at the Mar quesas Islands, which gave rise to the reports that we had been lost, were simply trouble with our gas engine and because we spent some time cruising among various islands"

TRYING TO WHIP
 DOUMA INTO LINE
LEGISLATIVE LEADER STRIVES To GET THE RUSSIAN MEMBERS TO DISCHARGE DUTIES PROP ERLY.

St. Petersburg. January 25-The douma's slowness in discharging its duties as a legislative body has created a bad impression throughout the country, particularly among the adherents of mod crate constitutionalism. The feeling has taken shape in an unusual reinstatement of his fellow members of the douma by M. Kohmyakoff. it's president. in an in teryiew in the Norvoe Vermya, in which the president complains almost in despair ing tones of his inability to whip the douma into any semblance of parliamen- tary efficiency.
 M. Kohmyakoff denounces the indiffer- enee shown by large number of mem- bers many of whom hardly ever cross the portals of Tauride palace Although three months have elapsed since the opening session, he says the douma has scarcely begun the consideration of the budget, reform of local courts and land legisla- tion, while Il minor bills, which have passed, have been held up through the failure of the drafting committee to get together Kohmyakoff states that the disappointment is all the more poignant, as he knows that the people are viewing the third douma with a critical eye. In- stead of laboring to overcome skepticism, he charges the douma is falling into disrepute through mere sloth.
 The newspapers here, both conservative and liberal, sustain M. Kohmyakoff's strictures, the Norvoe Nremya particular ly urging the observance of business-like methods. The Rech maliciously rejoices at this demonstration of the unfitness of the landlord element for parliamentary work. The difficulty in obtaining a quorum has led the octoberists to designate the douma as the "quoriumists, scarcely third of the membership attending the sessions
