ADVOCATES THE TORCH FOR ALL UNIVERSITIES

CHICAGO. May ,2S.-Richard T Crane, multi-millionaire. like Robert Louis Stevenson, author, believes more men are spoiled than made by college educations. The multi-mfi. iionaire, who spent his early life chiefly in labor, having little time Tor study feels much more strongly on the subject than the famous grad. uate Of the University of Edinburg Tor ne favors putting the torch to the universities supported wholly or part- ly by the various states.
 The occasion for this latest expres. sion of the views of MT Crane. who made his, millions in building eieya. tors. is that members of the Iedsla. ture asked his advice on .he question of increasing the appropriation for the University of Illinois. The uni. yersity was organized in 1867. This years appropriation was g 200 GOO For fifteen years the appropriations have averaged $2,000,O ,O0s. Before that they were not so large. The uni. versity, situated at Urbana, has 4sOO students who pay from $50 to s11O year for tuition, and has a library or 100000 volumes. Mr. Crane. in his letter to the legislators, says:
 T have given great deal of thought and study to the subject of higher education. and have conducted ,everal systematic investigations with regard to this and many other insti. tutions engaged in advance lines of education. In fact, as far as I know. I am the only one who has ever taken up this subject in business like way. and the conclusion I have reach. ed is that practically every one of these institutions is fraud and an imposition on the public.
 Tn trying some years ago to find out the utility of an academic educa. tion for young men who have to earn their own living, inquiries were made not only of graduates from the col. leges and universities. but also of those who had engaged these grad. uates in business wax and the re suit as shown was anything but cred. itabie to the university.
 "I am prepared even to go much further than this. for I maintain that instead of being . benefit, such insti. tutions as this are s positive curse and are doing vast amount of harm by demoralizing the youth sf this country.
 Instead of appropriating funds for such institutions it would be a good deal better for the state to put a torch to them and burn them down, to go out of the higher education business, and permit the boys to go back to their homes and assist in supporting their families instead of causing them a heavy expense"
 Mir. Crane is now seventy-seyen years of age In 1903 he married as his second wife. Miss Emily Hutchin- son. who was then under thirty, and settled Si,000,000 on her in lieu of dover. His company has a profit sharing system under which more than S2o0.00 is distributed each year among it's employees.

CELEBRATES 9TH
 YEAR IN AR|zGNA

TUCSON, May 29.-George J. Ros- kruge is observing today the 37th an niversary of his arrival in this terri. tory. He came here in 1872 from Denver, Colorado. and has been a resident of this territory since that time.
 His first place of residence was Prescott but he later removed to this city and became chief draughtsman in the office of the surveyor general which was located here a number of years ago.
 Mir Roskruge tells an interesting tale of his journey to Arizona as he made the trip overland from Den yer to Prescott on foot. On the trip he was accompanied by several tray cling companions. Their way lay through the Apache Indian country ard several times they had narrow escapes from being captured by the Indians but they finally managed to reach Prescott in safety.
 Railroads in the southwest at that time were unknown. Stage coaches were the speediest means of travel but MT. RuslSruge and his party hay ing plenty of time made the journey from Colorado on foot. thereby sav- ing several hundred dollars in stage fare.

MUCH GEOMETRY USED IN MINING

 Not only is the cost of operation re- duced to a minimum by this method,
 but there is alsa a large saving in original cost of development work. as tunel can be driven for one-half the amount required to sink shaft
 under the same conditions
 Much thought is given at the pres. ent time by mine operators and min ing engineers to the problem of econ-
 omy in timbers. Most mines require tmbers, which are considerable item of expense on account of the ne-
 cessity of frequently renewing them. l was recently in a group of mines where there were thirty miles of un- derground workings. greater portion
 of which required timber. For pur-
 poses of ventilation it was necessary
 to keep large part of the workings open, and the timbers were renewed
 practically every two years.
 The policy of the government in
 preserving the forests, coupled with
 the fact that the principal mining
 camps of the United States are in for

 The I.;;::niber ous recent economies
 in mine operations, together with the Improvements in mining tools and machinery and advances in metallur- gical science, have made it possible to operate mining properties successful ly. which were practically worthless a few years ago. This is particularly true Of mines carrying base metals. copper. lead and zinc. The tendency of mining today Is all toward the de- velopment and operation of base met al properties, because tle base metals
 are found in large quantities and are comparatively permanent in charac- ter. In the mining of base metals, the percentage of risk is materially re- duced, as compared with precious metal mining, especially gold proper ties. by reason of the size and per sistency of the base deposits. The most preoarious mining is for gold exclusively and the risk is propor- tionate. approximately, to the richness of the ore. The ''gold mine." how

PITTSBURG, May 29.--Baroness l..

 years ago. Friends of the baroness | secured her admission to the home. a philanthropic institution, paying $500 entrance fee, which secures care
 for her while she lives. The baroness spent her last penny three weeks
 ago; friends of her youth found her ! starving in a wretched room on Re.
 becca street, northside, hero Her brother, Harry l.. Doty, had extravagant tastes, too; he went through the fortune his fath.- be-
 qaeathed to him and found himse.s l alone and penniless at the age of six
 ty. He was adjudged insane three
 months ago. and is an inmate of the asylum at Massillon.
 The Baron Disappeared. Miss Doty married Baron l.. Fred. erick Lagerfelt. scion of a fine old
 noble Swedish family, vice consul Of Sweden here, in St. Paul's church Stubenyille, December 12, 1884, and thereby broke the hearts of many American suitors.
 Five years afterward Baron Lager. felt disappeared-an ingrate to his ! generous father-in-law and. worse, it is alleged. forger Three years lat. CT his broken-hearted wife divorced
 him. He died in Belgium. a fugitive from justice, several years ago. Mollie Doty was as vivacious and kind-hearted as lovely. In society she was at the front: no entertainment was complete without her
 Her wedding was as gay as fash
 ionable. the best people of Pittsburg, Stubenville, Philadelphia and Gin. { cinneti were guests. The bridal pres, | ents were superb; from Stockholm came this cablegram:

ALA MOANAS
TRYING HARD
Standing of Atkinson League.

The feature of the day at Atkinson
park yesterday was the appearance of
Hines, new pitcher for the marines.
Another feature was that the Ala Mo-
anas. the tailenders who have not won
game yet, bueked up and gave the
victorious Kewalos hard run for their
money, being defeated by the narrow
margin of three to two.
In the second game the Marines had
little trouble in disposing of the Hani-
wais who were taken into camp to the
| tune of to 2 Hines twirled a very
clever game indeed. For seven innings
| he held the Taniwais down to no runs
and no hits and it was only in the last
two innings that three bingles let in
the losers score.
One of those bingles was worse than
a mere safety. Tt was dinger of a
home run handed out by that imperturb-
able swat artist Walker. That was in
the eighth inning and, in the ninth, two
singles and base on balls scored The
other run for the Haniwais.
The Ala Moanas are to be heartily
congratulated on the fight they put VI
against the League leaders and, if the.
| keep up this gait, viii soon be climbing
up near the top themselves.

j. A. c., IL; C. A. c.. 9.

For the first time since the great
game of baseball was introduced to the
Hawaiian Islands an all-Japanese team
has defeated an all-Chinese team. The
small BOYS in the neighborhood of Aala
park were running round with baskets
after the game picking up the banzais
that were dropping from the air, and
there was a great celebration of the
event by all the japanese rooters pres
ent.
/ Here is where Seiehi saw his chance.
He made dash for the bandstand and
climbed nimbly over the railing. Then
he engaged A. K Vierra in converse
tion for few minutes and finally slid
discreetly over to where Tin Chong, the
official scorer and press-agent was sit
ting
He made a gesture of one who asks
favor and Chong elevated his eye
brows to know what he wanted

something nice in paper, eha Say like
this, then he hesitated and finally
concluded with most winning smile
: .sYou know-make EN- hot air. -
Tin Chong Immediately doubled up
! A. K. yierra had conniption fit ant
there was much merriment generally
s OF course. the funny part of the whol'
l thing was, that the Advertiser repre-
sentative was sitting next to Tin Chon'

wheezy predecessor. It is placed on
the outside of the railing of the balcony

. How the Game Was Won.

There was no scoring done until the
third inning. In his period the dragon
| lets handed out three. Leong took
pass and reached second on Ako S sacri-
| fee. Then Loo Hon famed but Leong
scored on Yasu s tumble of grounder,
which also put Aiona safe at first. The
latter stole second and scored on fine
bingle by Sing Chong.
Sing Chong then reached second and
finally third on passed ball and
romped on another error by Yasu that
put En- Sang safe at first. Three runs
and it looked like walkover for the
dragon kids. In the fourth the 9. A.
Cs. scored two more and, with the score
five to nil, it looked more like barrel
of Chinese whitewash being opened than
ever.
Tn the fifth, however. something hap
pened. Yasu made up for his two fatal
errors in the third by bingling and fin
ally scored on two errors. Goto was
safe on En- Sang's error and Naganishi
ditto on a tumble by Sing Chong.
Sakaino then came in with timely
double that sent the two men on bases
!, in and scored himself on bingle by
| Yamashiro Kuwamato flew out but
:. Junichi doubled and Yamashiro came
in. Junichi was caught asleep at see
: ond and Soichi died at first. This made
FIVE runs and tied the score. " herea
e there was much sound of hanzai and ;
noise like many japanese being gla'
P with themselves.
In the sixth the Japs scored one NOR
d and finished off with five more in tn
d seventh. This gave them eleven run
+ and, though the dragonlets tried thei
? best and hammered out two each in tn
