SAYS SLAVERY TALE
IS NOT DISTORTED
MEXICAN MINING MAN ADDS
HIS CONFIRMATION
Declares That kidnapping of Yaquis
for SIaVish Tasks in Yucatan
Still Goes On in
Sonora

1.-THE articles appearing in the Octo-
ber and November numbers of the
American magazine, under the caption
of "Barbarous Mexico" are true i'll
every detail" said w. L. Hickok, a
prominent mining man of Alamos,
Mexico, at the Hollenbeck hotel yester-
day. "Diaz has lost the confidence of
the better classes of MeXicans, and
they are of the opinion that he has
sold them out. The only persons who
seem to favor his regime, from my OBJ
servation, are those who are sharing
in it's profits, and these profits are I'M
mense. The Americans who will tell
you that these disclosures are absur-
dities are catering to the Mexican gov
ernment and have an ak to grind
''The governors of the different
states" continued Mr.. Hickok, "are
monarchs of all they survey in their
allotted territory, and with them it is
pie paying for it. If it were not so
serious it would be a joke in the way
the whole thing is carried out under
pretense of a representative form OF
government. But as it is, thousands of
human beings are suffering and slowly
dying. Innocent, unsuspecting men are
dragged from their homes and forced
into virtual slavery from which there
can be no liberation.
"The Mexican government pays so
much a head for every Yaqui delivered
for transportation to the penal colony
at Yucatan, that has a reputation of
Russian Siberia, where they are either
sold as slaves or worked under the gov
ernment.
Because of the price set on the

ROBBED OF SMALL SUM
WHILE ON WAY TO CHURCH
Pedestrian Claims a Highwayman
Backed Him Into Alley and Took
is Cents and Fountain Pen

While on his way to church last
night F. w. Nance, 1151 South Flower
street, was held up by lone robber,
backed into an alley between Tenth
and Eleventh streets and robbed of 10
cents and a fountain pen, according to
the report he made at police head
quarters.
Nance stated that he was walking
along when man, apparently about
20 years old, jumped from behind a
tree and backed him into the alley and
hurriedly searched him. Nance said
the burglar appeared nervous and over
looked a watch and one dollar which
he had in his pocket.
The holdup man was described as
being 25 years old, feet 10 inches
tall, light complexioned, with small,
stubby mustache.
Detectives detailed on the case re-
norted nothing doing" and it is said
that two patrolmen were standing at
an adjacent corner at the time the
affair happened, but did not notice any
holdup.

lieyed that the university training was
absolutely necessary have at least seen
the result of their labors. There are
today in the neighborhood of fifty dis
tinctly technical colleges. with an en-
rollment of 10000 students; whereas IN
1870 there were but three colleges. IL
will be seen that these colleges nave
multiplied enormously. We cannot be-
lieve that they have sprung up in re-
sponse to a real demand for engineers,
but are the outgrowth of the higher
educational movement, and too often
professors and teachers who have
thought they knew what the public
needed or on the other hand have been
desirous of making their college as
big In this respect as other colleges,
have gone ahead and added to the
list more out of loyalty to their par
ticular circle than in response to a
vigorous demand.
"There seems to be sort OF a will
o'-the-wisp fascination clinging to the
word engineer and if a person holds
an engineering degree from Europ-
can university he is looked upon by
great many people as a superior per-
son and almost worshiped as such.
1.-The greatest danger in college train
ing lies in the fact that the schools go
to the extreme in teaching theory.
IheOry IS all flSHt, DuC the uouple 10
that men are turned out by the whole
sale with nothing but theory.
I'VE admit there is a legitimate field
for q limited number of colleges de-
voted to engineering; on the other
hand, it must also be admitted that
this old world got along for a number
of years without these avenues of
learning. and upon investigation we
find that the most important engineer
ing problems were solved before their
introduction"
The schedule for today calls for a
session at the Temple auditorium at
$3.50 this morning. A musical program
will take up the greater part of the
time, and there will be addresses by
DR.. Luther Gulick on '"The New Atti-
tude Toward Health" and 1.-THE Larger
Selfishness," by DR.. Vincent.

BROKAW TO TAKE STAND
IN HIS OWN DEFENSE

NEW YORK, Dec. CIV. Gould
Brokaw did not take the stand in his
own defense today, as had been ex-
pected Instead his counsel continued
to introduce testimony designed to
show that the demands of Mrs. Bro
kaw, who is suing for separation, with
alimony of 100000 year, are unreas-
enable in view of the husbands di-
minished fortune.
John F. Mcintyre, Mr.. Brokaw's
lawyer, explained that one Of his as
sociates, who had the minutes of the
trial, had been detained and that the
case could not well go on without him.
An early adjournment was granted,

MINISTER WI SAYS
HE WILL COME BACK
IN HALF A CENTURY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Dr. WI
Ting Fang, retiring Chinese minister
promised a delegation of farewell visi-
tors today he would return to the
United States for a visit fifty years
hence, if he did not sooner make the
trip.
Incidentally the minister said he saw
no reason why a man should not live
to be 200 years old, If he met no acci-
dent and did not get sick, at the same
pected to make his span of life cover
the 200-year period.
A large delegation Of business men
of this city called on the minister to
express their appreciation of him per-
sonally and. the hope that he would re-
turn as minister of China.

continued Mr.. Hickok, many dark
complexioned men with stiff hair, who
are not Yaquis, are taken prisoners and
rushed to Yucatan and the City OF
Merida, where they are slaves in every
sense of the word and bought and sold
like so much cattle. This kidnapping
is going on today, at this very mo-
ment in Sonora.
THE articles appearing in the Ameri-
can magazine aroused considerable in

some CONSERVATION among the official

O'Clock the senator began to breathe
with difficulty. From that time un-
til the end the decline was gradual.
The physicians administered medi-
cine in an effort to ease his breath

which is a symptom of Bright's dis
ease in the advanced stage, grew
larger until death ensued.

Surprise at the Capital.

BISMARCK, ~. W., OCI. q.
A telephone message from Fargo
at 2::3O this morning stated that Sem
ator Johnson's body would be taken
to Petersburg Saturday, and that
the funeral services would be held
from the Methodist church there at
one clock Sunday afternoon. The
remains will probably be inferred in
the Petersburg cemetery, although
there is a possibility that they will
be taken to the old home in Iowa.
This matter will. not be decided /.
however. until there is a family CON
ference.
The announcement of the sudden
death of M. N. johnson was receiv-
ed in Bismarck with the greatest
surprise. as his nearest friends in
the Capital City had not heard OF
the constitutional ailment that seems
to have been the direct cause of his

The Sudden Death.


Fargo, N. d., Oct. %.
Martin Nelson johnson, Junior
United States senator from North
Dakota, died in his suite at the
Gardner hotel at ten minutes past
seven o'clock last night. Death came
suddenly. Senator Johnson sustain
ed an attack of Bright s disease Sun
day evening, and had been confined
to his bed. He was not considered
dangerously i'll, however, until yes
terday morning, when DR.. j. H.
Rindlaub, his physician. remarked a
decided change for the worse. He
rallied, however; but, shortly after
noon, another change for the worse
was noted. and Drs. j. II. and Mar
tin P. Rindlaub remained at his bed
side until his death.
Death was caused by acute
Bright's disease, accompanied by
edena of the larynx The end came
quietly. Shortly before his death
the physicians noticed that he was
breathing with difficulty. He retain
ed consciousness, however, until the
end. At seven O'Clock he asked for a
drink of water and thanked the
physician who held it to his lips. A
few moments later he spoke to his
lwife; and these we're his last words:
II am very tired" Then, quietly
peacefully. like one falling asleep,
he passed away. Mrs. johnson
bore up bravely. and the physicians
speak highly Of her fine qualities OF
courage and foritude.
Senator johnson came to Fargo
two weeks ago. when slight oper.
alton was performed on his nose by
DR.. j. H. Rindlaub. The operation
was not a serious one. however, and
until Sunday he called at the doc
tors office every day.
Sunday evening he was seized
with an attack of Bright's disease
with which he had been afflicted fol
more than twenty years. His con-
|dition was not considered serious
however. until yesterday. When
DR.. Rindlaub called in the morning
i the senator was so much worse that
DR.. Martin P. Rindlaub, Or. =. M
Darrow and DIR. E. McGreagor were
called in consultation.
The senator rallied, however, ,latel
in the forenoon. Shortly before one
O'Clock another change for the
worse was noticed in his condition
and the Drs. Rindlaub remained a
his bedside until death.
!, During the afternoon the senate
spoke of a trip that he had planned
to take next month to st. Louis
where he was to be guest at ban
quet to be given in honor of Presi
dent Taft. He apparently did no
realize the seriousness of his condi
ton, although frequently he com
planned of being tired.
The end came almost withou
warning. The physicians took fire
quent tests Of his temperature an
respiration. and were assisted by tn
0 nurses, Miss Anna Coulin and Mrs
Edith Caniff. Shortly after 81

County Superintedents'
Pass Resolutions

Before adjournment at Helena last
week the County superintendent
adopted a number Of resolutions
which appear in part as follows:-
"Resolved. That we give express
sion to our approval of the system of
eighth grade examinations, and of
the publication of a seventh and
eighth grade manual, which may be
secured by students in these grades
for their assistance in preparing for
these examinations.
"Resolved, That recognizing the
deplorable fact that the wages of
teachers are not what they should be,
what they must be in order to attract
the best talent ard to warrant the
training that is essential to first class
work, we recommend that the salar-
les of teachers in all our schools and
particularly in the rural districts be
increased.
Resolved, That our teachers be
urged to take the reading circle and
be given credit for the same.
"Resolved, That all teachers ex-
pecting to engage in the profession
of teaching be urged to take at least
one year of special training for the
work.
.'Resolved, That we refuse to grant
permits to teachers employed before
the regular August examination if
said examination takes place within
two weeks of the opening of the
school.
"Resolved; That it be definitely
understood that all first grade and
professional certificates are renewal
ale only in counties where they have
been issued, and upon the recon-
mendatlon of the county superintend-
ent in whose county the teacher has
been working last.
"Resolved, That we recommend
that, in counties of the lowest class,
where county superintendent receive
only $50 per month, the salary be
raised"
