in Triangular Debate.

Princeton, n. j., March 21.-Unusual
interest is manifested in the second
annual triangular debate between cho-
sen representatives of Harvard, Prince
ton and Yale, which is to be held this

greater than usually aroused by inter-
collegiate debates, owing to the inn
portant subject which has been chosen

HOLD FUNERAL TOMORROW.
North Tamarack Trammer Came to His
Death by Accident.


Arrangements have been made for
victim of the fatal accident at the
North Tamarack mine on Saturday,
which will be held at the Finnish
church on Pine street tomorrow af-
ternoon. services being conducted by
A. l.. Hiedeman. The decedent was
about 40 years of age, and is survived
by a widow and eight children residing
at Centennial Heights.
owing to an error on Saturday IL
was at first supposed that John Lehti.
also of Centennial Heights. died as the
result of injuries sustained, and that
Arfman. who was injured in the same
accident, still survived. However, a
later investigation proved the reverse
to be the case. While Lehti is i'm a
precarious condition at the Tamarack
hospital there are hopes he will pull
through.
Justice r. b. Rule of Tamarack con-
Quoted an inquest over the deceased
miner Saturday afternoon, the jury re-
turning verdict of accidental death.
II appears from the testimony that the
accident was largely due to the care
lessness of the victims. They had been
working near the shaft, and commence
ed to walk into the crosscut without a
light as the tram car was approaching.
Both had been warned that the car was
coming to the shaft. and If they wait
ed until 1t reached its destination the
accident would not have occurred.

Secretary of the Navy Under Roosevelt
Declares U. S. Navy Is Second to

siderIng Size.

Colorado Springs, March 21.-Victor
II. Metcalf, secretary of the navy
under President Roosevelt, while vis-
iting his son, V. n. Metcalf, who re-
Gently came to Colorado Springs for
the benefit of his health. gave out an
interview in which he declared that
the United States navy is second to
none I'm point of efficiency, considering
it's size.
Our navy" said Mr.. Metcalf 'is
fast setting the pace for other nations,
which are taking vessels like our
South Carolina as a model. We were
the first to realize the value of SO
constructing our ships that a vessels
entire battery of heavy guns could be
concentrated in one broadsde. AS a
result, any of our latest battleships,
though smaller, is more than "A match
for a Dreadnought which cannot bring
all of its guns to bear at one time.
For practical purposes and bearing
in mind the conditions that obtain in
our harbors, | do not believe that we
should build battleships larger than
$4,000 tons. When you build ships that
draw more than 80 feet of water, they
will have difficulty in finding suitable
anchorage and the problem of dock
facilities will prove serious. There IS
no question i'm my mind but that two
ships of 10000 tons each are worth
more than one Dreadnought of 10000
tons. They can be handled more cas-
lily and i'm time of war would have a
decided advantage i'm maneuvering.
zone of the most gratifying things
about the United States navy is its
present state of efficiency. In the
b. title of Santiago, more than 1900
shots were fired and only 43 hits were
scored, or less than per cent. But
now the records show more than so
per cent of hits fired at double the
distance and at targets half the size
Of the Spanish ships. No navy i'm the
world can beat that record. The spirit
that obtains among the enlisted men
is another splendid feature. Ninety
eight per cent. of the men in the navy
are American born. The recent wide
cruise of the fleet was of inestimable
benefit i'm developing a spirit of 10y
alty"

CIRCULATING PETITION TODAY.
Postmaster Wickstrom Getting sigma
lures for Night Train Postal Service.

Postmaster Wickstrom is circulating
a petition today among the business
men and others asking for the estab-
lishment of an r. p. o. service on the
night train out of here between Calu-
met and Mackinaw and Duluth.
The petition is being extensively
signed, practically every business man
that Mr.. Wickstrom has approached
attaching his signature. There is ev-
cry likelihood that the postal facility
will be granted, and that as soon as
the necessary arrangements have been
made with the South Shore officials 1t
will go into effect.
N. DeForest of Duluth. chief clerk
of the railway mail service. was re-
sponsible for bringing the matter be-
fore the local people, and he is keenly
interested in the movement. 1t is his
belief, according to a communication
received from him. that there is every
need for the new service.
Postmaster Wickstrom will likely
complete the canvass of Calumet to-
day. Local business men and others
realize the convenience that would
follow the establishment of night
postal service out of Calumet, and will
be more than pleased to see its install
lation.

MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION
ATTRACTS WIDE INTEREST
hot Election Fight Reflects Pub
lie Opinion on Taft Ad-
miniStration.
NAME LOvERING'S SUCCESSOR

Boston, Mass, March 21.-An cleo
ton Is to be held I'm the Fourteenth
Massachusetts congressional district
tomorrow to fiji the vacancy caused by
the death of Representative William
{. Lowering. The campaign which
closed today has been one of the live
Hest that Massachusetts has had for
several years. With the country sur
Veyng ii as a barometer of public
opinion on the issue of the Taft Ad-
mnistratiOn and in view of the poll
tlcal uncertainty attending the cost of
living agitation, the result of the cleo
ton is regarded as of national inter-
est and Importance.
Three candidates are i'm the field
William r. Buchanan, republican:
Eugene n. Foss, democrat, and John
Mccarthy, socialist. The district is
normally republican by 1900 to H.
600 i'm presidential years, but the plu-
rality usually given was greatly cut
down i'm the last election. This fact
has given the democrats ground for
hope that they may be successful in
tomorrows contest. The republican
managers profess to have not the
slightest fear of losing the district to
a democrat but at the same time they
have deemed it wise, as a matter of
precaution. to put Senator Lodge and
other prominent party leaders and
ora tOrc on tba Gfupnn IN, thn 81
of the republican candidate.
William II. Buchanan, the republican,
standard bearer, is Brockton editor
In his letter of acceptance he pro-
claimed himself an opponent Of Cam
nonism, a believer in the income tax
and a foe to all trusts that are doing
business illegally. In conclusion, he
said: II believe in protection to Amer
lean labor where that protection may
be needed TO foster new industries or
maintain old ones. But | do not be-
lieve i'm protective tariff that enables
the manufacturer to charge eXtortion-
ate prices for his product at home and
at the same time sell that product In
a foreign market at a reduced cost"
Eugene N. Foss, the Democratic can
didate is one of the most picturesque
figures I'm New England politics. I'm
til about year ago he was republl-
can and had been twice an unsuccess-
full candidate for Congress on the re-
publican ticket. Then he switched to
the democrats and in the last election
he was the candidate of that part for
lieutenant governor. He is rated III
the millionaire class and has been a
liberal contributor to the state and
national campaign funds.
In the announcement of his candi-
dacy for the Lowering seat Mr.. Foss
declared himself i'm favor of free raw
materials. lower cost for necessities
better trade relations with "our neigh
hors." the income tax and conserva-
tion.

ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION
MAY CUT BABES FORTUNE
Richest Babe in World May Lose
That Distinction Through
BenefactioDs.
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY TODAY

New York. March elf John d..
Rockefeller carries out his intention to
give away the bulk of his enormous
fortune by establishing a gigantic
foundation for philanthropic purposes,
his grandson, John ID. Rockefeller Ill,
who completes his fourth year today
will lose the distinction of being the
richest baby i'm the world, or, express
ing il more correctly, of being the baby
with the prospect of inheriting the
largest fortune In the world. 1t is
true that, even If the Rockefeller foun-
dation becomes a fact. the favorite
grandson and namesake of the OH
King will inherit enough to keep the
wolf from his door for the rest of his
life. but his inheritance will not be
as great as that of several other grand
sons, whose 'grandfathers have accu-
mulated and are still accumulating
gigantic fortunes in oil, steel or rail-
roads.
However. the possibilities of the flu
ture do not worry John ID. Rockefeller
Ill at present. He was remarkably
large and healthy baby when he was
born on March 81. 1906. and under the
strict hygienic regime enforced by ms
father has grown into fine and heal
thy youngster, vigorous and fun OF
life. Unconscious OF being the pros
pective heir of untold millions ana
equally unconscious Of the probability
of having his share of the inheritance
materially diminished, he celebrated
his birthday today with all the zest
which a boy of his age, be he millions
aire or pauper, can put into such a
celebration.
John ID. Rockefeller has many other
grandchildren, but John ID. III. has
always been his favorite- and 1t has
always been understood that the bulk
of his fortune would some day de-
scend upon the eldest son of the OH
Kings only son. 1t has always peen
a subject of interest to some persons
with a mathematical turn of mind to
figure out how large would be the
fortune which John ID, iii. would some
day inherit Nobody, perhaps not
even Mr.. Rockefeller himself, knows
the amount of his present wealth more
than approximately. 1t has been var
jously estimated at frou $2OO,0OO,OOo
to 81 900, 900, 900 and some men, well
acquainted with the affairs of the OIL
King. have expressed the opinion that
even the larger amount is a conser-
vative estimate.
Accepting $1,000, 100000 as the basis
of their calculations, mathematicians
have figured out that this amount. at
simple interest of per cent, would
have grown to $2,500OOO,OOO in hity
years. But. of course, the establish
ment of the Rockefeller foundation
would alter the situation. The wealth.
would probably increase at moderate
rate i'm spite of the benefactions dis
tributed by the foundation, as only the
interest of the endowment would be
used: but the bulk of that tremendous
fortune would not be in the hands OF
John ID Rockefeller III, although, uh-
doubtedly, he would succeed his fa-
ther in the control of the fund.
