RICH STRIKE ON
THE MAYFLOWER

Late last evening authentic infor-
nation was received from National
that a strike of high-grade ore had
been made at the bottom of the May
flower shaft by Superintendent Ed
munds. The ore is said to resemble
that taken from the famous Charleston
hill ledge and, while MO assays had
been made at the time the word was re-
ceived, is thought to be equally rich.
The Mayflower mine, owned by w
F.. Critchfeld, of National, and E.
Reinhart Il Co., of Winnemucca, ID
situated west and north of the old
Stall lease on the property of the Ma
tional Mining Company of Nevada, the
two shafts being about 3,UU0 feet
apart. The vein on which the strike
was made yesterday is not the Charles
ton hill ledge, but parallel vein and
distant about 600 feet. This indicates
that the gold-producing ore is not
confined to the one vein. but extends
for considerable distance.

PRAISES BIG PHILANTHROPY
President eehurnan Of Cornell Thinks
Well Of Rockefeller Foun-
dalton.

Ithaca.--John d. RockefelleT's PHI
lanthropio scheme, which the Rookie
Teller foundation bill, now pending In
congress-, proposes to incorporate was
commended by President Jacob G.
Schurman In an address before the Cor
nell congress Friday night. In sum-
ming up an exhaustive discussion Of
the measure, President Schurman
said:
Il recognize that section No. of the
bill, which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say, morals and religion, art
and science, manners and social inter-
course, and all that concerns the po-
litical, economic, and material well
being of individuals and communities.
This Is a vast field for the exercise OF
philanthropy.
But Mr.. Rockefeller has conceived
q vast scheme of philanthropy, for the
benefit of his fellow citizens and man
kind. His character, ability and or
ganizing skill are adequate guarantees
that he will carry out his scheme
wisely and successfully, with meal
culable benefit and blessing to man
kind. It is in the interest of the ma
ton that he be given a free hand in
the exercise Of his colossal benefi-
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains it would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort Of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does 1t seem nee
essary to limit the scope of his benefl-
cence, which is coextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain higher
civilization.
"The only change I would desire to
see in the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination Of the method of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might well be left a close
corporation. If Mr.. Rockefeller so de-
sires, for a generation. But after that
time am confident that it would inure
both to the efficiency of the foundation
and to the public welfare-to say moth
ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment
of a democracy-if the majority of the
trustees were appointed by the presi-
dent Of the United States, with the
advice and consent of the senate, or
selected by some other high abiding,
governmental agencies that may fairly
be regarded as representing the peO-
pie of the United States, whose well
fare is the primary object of the i'm
mense and glorious benefaction."

RUTH BRYAN LEAVITT
To WE'D ENGLISHMAN
BECOMES BRIDE OF REGINALD
OWEN TUESDAY.
Briton Was Ardent Wooer; Fair Di-
Vorcee Couldn't Resist, SO She
Quit Leeturing to Marry.

New York City.-At Fairview, Neb.,
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, their eldest
daughter, Ruth Bryan Leavitt, will be
married next Tuesday to Reginald
owen of the British Royal Engineers.
No formal announcement will be
made Of the interesting event until
the young couple are fairly on their
way to the bridegroom's ancestral
home in England. It is their intention
to leave Lincoln a few hours after
their marriage for New York, and here
they will embark for England. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan may accompany
them across the Atlantic, as Mr.. Bry-
an is to attend, as a delegate of the
general board of the Presbyterian
church in the United States, the
Worlds Missionary conference at Ed
inburgh early in June.
The marriage will be the culmina-
ton of a romance Of short duration
and that has been conducted very
quietly. In March, 1909, Mrs. Leavitt
obtained divorce from her first hus-
band, William Horner Leavitt, almost
twice her age, whom she married sew
en- years ago, when she was Just IS
years old.
Mrs. Leavitt had taken up voice
culture at HancEer, Germany, with the
view of continuing for a while, at
least, her short but successful career
as a lyceum lecturer under the aus
pices Of the University of Nebraska
in its university extension work But
her English sutton pressed his suit so
hard, both upon her and her parents,
that with their consent she abandoned
her studies in Germany and came
back home to be married.

THE Tariff tangle with Canada
which President Taft has taken in

Of the multitude of American farmers
that are crossing into the Canadian

mates OF their number place it at

as 100000 viii cross. These are all
expert farmers and theft places in the
United States are being filed by un-
trained men from Europe and from
the cities. Canada is gaining rapidly
In agricultural importance and with
in few years the United States viii
have to call on the Dominion for
wheat. Production of wheat in the
United States is not keeping pace
with the population. A tariff war
would complicate the problem of aet-
ting food. Even now Canadian FARM
ers are getting higher prices for thd b
cattle on the hoof and Canadian hous,a-
wives are paying less for meat in til
butcher shops than farmers and housi
wives are receiving and paying in til

he gave them oney back, or did he
keep it?

That he never had any interest in

That CLAWS was never "hampered,
but was pampered" in his work.
That up to the time he became

ton" to show that he favored the sale
Of Alaskan coal lands rather than
Garfeld's leasing plant was not
only with the approval, but even at
the request OF President Roosevelt.
Ballinger gave the "lie direct" to
Claws, when Vertrees asked abQEt
the conference, which CLAWS had with
him in December, 1907.
CLAWS makes the willRIl and de-
liberate misstatement in his testi-
mony here that we talked over the
Alaskan cases and that l mentioned
several persons" said Ballinger.
That is a wiIlful and deliberate lie.
/ did not know those people at that
time. We merely talked over the
general Alaskan situation, and did
not go into the different groups, as
Claws says we did"
The hearing room was crowded to
