The Original Eight-HOur Man


"The farmer is the original eight
hour man." says F. D.. Coburn, secre-
tary of the Kansas state board of agri-
culture and one of the leading aRri-
cultural authorities in the United
States. "Taik about your labor un-
ious demanding an eiRht-hour day.
The farmer worked eight hours long
ago and does yet-eight hours in the
morning and eight in the afternoon.
There must be some blame scmewhers
for the high cost of living; somebody
must be to blame. But the farmer
has never set the price on one Of hia
products. He does not force his
things on anyone. and he uses no vi0-
lence in their sale. He brings his
steers to market aud takes what In
offered him. and in the same way his
wife takes the butter and eggs to the
store. When he brings his steers to
the market he must accept the market
price Of Mr.. Amour, il you please, or
Mr.. Swift will feed his cattle in the
stockyards, selling him so cent grain.
but making him pay 81 bushel for
it. If he will not do this he must
take his cattle home again and that
means bankruptcy. do not know
where the blame lies. Do not give
it away. but am the only one who
does not"

Amplified Advices Confirm
Early Reports of Heavy
Losses Sunday
SEvENTY:7W0 ARE KILLED.
WOUNDED OR MISSING
Thirty Others Were Injured Slightly,
But Not Sufficiently to Bring Them
to the Hospital and So They Do Not
Appear in Official List.

Chihuahua. Mexico, Dec. 21.-AmpM-
fed advices change but little today's
telegraphic report of the cutting up
Of the government troop train at Nal
Paso last Sunday. The official report
of twenty-one federals killed, ten
missing and forty-two wounded
stands, with the addition that thirty
were slightly wounded, bringing the
total injured to seventy-two, also came
on the train. The injuries Of these
thirty are not serious and 1t is not
customary to carry them in the hos
pital lists. Most of them are on their
feet.
Rumors have been abroad today
that the federals lost 100 killed, but
this seems to be without foundation
and probably referred to the total
number Of killed, wounded and in
jured, which makes about 100. The
hospital train brought in eighty
mauser rifles or about the number
which their killed and wounded would
have dropped.
The defeat Of the troop train with
its three field pieces and $50 men, In
testifies the tension here. On top Of
the drawn battle of Cerro Preto ten
days ago 1t Is taken as confirmation
of the declarations that President
Diaz confronts a real revolution. The
most ardent sympathizers with the
revolt. and they include most Of tho
unofficial population, scarcely hoped
the insurgents would be able to make
more than one stand against the dis.
ciplined soldiers Of the government.
The government states that the re-
volt consisted but little else save q
neucles Of bandits augmented by mis-
guided poems who could not handle a
rife and whom it would be but police
work to subdue. The Official reports
ber of insurrectos in the field. Cerro
Preto was a drawn fight: Nal Paso
was victory for the rebels.

St.. Petersburg. Dec. 21.-The re-
fractory behavior Of the Chinese pro-
vincial authorities in tManchuria is
the subject Of an effitofial which will
appear In the Novoe Vremya tomor-
row.
Tho newspaper recounts series of
incidents during the present year
the prohibition of the export Of grain,
designed to cripple the Harbin mills !;
the dispossession Of the Russian gold
claims without indemnity; the re-
fusal to admit Russian caravans to
certain frontier cities. whereby ex-
tensive losses were inflicted upon
merchants and the arrest recently OF
Chinese employees Of the Russo
Chinese bank in Harbin by the
Chinese taotai.
The series eliminates with q re-
cital Of the maltreatment Of Col.
Raddazi, commander Of the Amur
Cossack regiment, who. was arrested
on December IS. while visiting the
Chinese side near Blagoyieshtchensk
Col. Raddazl was bound, his epaulet-
tes were torn OF and he was spat
upon. Finally he was. released by

lieved-Corruption a Matter for In.
vestigation by the State Of Illinois.

rows, chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, today pre-
sented to the senate the report Of the
investigation of the charges Of brib-
cry made in connection with the cleo
ton Of VIM. Lorimer as a senator

ed by the committee was as follows:

Lorimer to the seat in the senate has
not been shown to be invalid by the
use or employment Of corrupt methods
or practices"
The charges that four members of
the Illinois legislature were bribed
and that three other members paid
these bribes are not ignored by the
committee. The report declares that
those who confessed to receiving the
bribes should not be believed and
that the votes Of those who were
charged with paying bribes should
be counted.
In relation to the charges that
there was corruption fund used in
the Illinois legislature and that II
was disbursed by one Robert E. Viii
son, the report says that there is nc
evidence that 1t was used for the bene.
fit Of Lorimer. The committee sug-
Egests that any investigation of the
use Of such fund should be made by
the authorities of the state of I'LL
nois.
The report as presented was moi
signed by the members of the com.
ndttee, although it did not appear thai
there was any minority. On the hool
of the senate, however, Senator Bev
eridge made the statement that he has
not been able to concur with or dis
! sent from the findings beoouse= OF, tn,

ger on the ground that the matter wa.
privileged and could be called from
the table at any time by the senate

Early This Morning

Bolton, England, Dec. 21.-An ex-
plosion followed by q f1re and caus-
ing many fatalities occurred In the
Little Hutton colliery Of the Hutton
Colliery company here this morning
soon after the 290 miners had gone
below the surface to begin the days
work. The cause and extent Of the
disaster was in doubt for several
hours. The first rescuing party to
reach the scene succeeded in bring
ing seven men and boy to safety and
later recovered the bodies of five VIC
Tins. At the moment Of the explo-
sion the flames spread through the
affected passage and the smoke and
poisonous gas filled the mine.
The plight OF the miners was rem
dered more dangerous by mishap to
the machinery Of the shafts, where
the cages refused to move for time,
preventing quick escape and inter-
,fering with the ventilation. The ris-
ing gases were checked by the OBJ
structions and driven back upon the
entombed men. In the meantime the
fire ragged f1ercely and it Is supposed
that many who we're not killed by the
noxous fumes were burned to death
The rescuers were unable to 90 d.
.rectly to the spot where the miners
were entombed and there was some
delay while they sought access to the
place through the adjoining leads.
Word Of the accident was carried
quickly to the homes OF. the miners
and presently thousands Of persons
surrounded the mouth Of the col.
liery. AS always on the. occasion o1

TEN MILLIONS
TO CHICAGO ]
Rockefeller's Donations Now
Total s35, 900, 900 and This
Is the Last

Chicago. Dec. 21.-John D. Rookie
feller has completed the task he set
for himself in the founding of the
University Of Chicago. Today, public
announcement was made of Single
and final" of $1O.00O,OOO, which in
cludes all the contributions that Mr..
Rockefeller had planned to make to
the university. This sum, which is to
be paid in ten annual installments,
beginning January l, will make q to-
tai of approximated $35,000,000 that
Mr.. Rockefeller has donated to the
university.
Mr.. Rockefeller says he now be-
lieyes the school should be supported
and enlarged by the gifts of many
rather than those Of a single donor.
This, he believes, will be better ac-
complished If the public understands
the limit of his contemplated assist
ance.
The founding of new departments
he leaves to the trustees as he says
funds may be furnished by other
friends of the university.
Up to the present time about ST.
100000 has been donated to the uni
versity in addition to Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's gifts.
With the announcement of Mr..
Rockefeller's final donation came the
resignation of John d. Rockefeller
Jr., and Fred T. Gates, Mr.. Rookie
feller's personal representatives. from
the university board of trustees.
In enclosing these designations
Mr. Rockefeller explained that he was
only carrying out his conviction that
the institution should be controlled
conducted and supported by the peo-
pie" with whom up to this date he
had been simply cooperating.
Mr.. Rockefeller's idea, as it is un.
derstood, is that he is turning over
the institution and its endowment tc
Chicago and the west. and in so doing
withdraws from any further repre-.
sentation in It's control.
The official announcement of the
benefaction was made at the quarter.
ly convocation at the university this
afternoon. President Martin A. Ry.
erson of the board Of trustees, read
a letter from Mr.. Rockefeller which
bore date of December 13, and was
addressed to the president and trus.
tees Of the University of Chicago.
