ROCKEFELLER MAY ASK
FOR STATE CHARTER
Tires Of Congressional Delay In
Approving His Plans.

Washington, April 25.-John D.
Rockefeller has reached the conclu-
sion that he can distribute his enor-
nous fortune for the benefit of man
kind without the approval of con-
gress. He has grown tired OF waiting
for action on the bill to establish the
Rockefeller foundation. He desires
to expedite the work Of extending his
benefactions under the new plan and is
not inclined to waste much more time.
In order to give his new charity added
dignity Mr.. Rockefeller sought to sc.
cure charter from congress. He
never dreamed there would be any
pronounced opposition to the sugges.
ton. Il
AS nearly two months have elapsed
without the slightest 1sign of action by
the senate on the bin Mr.. Roekefeller
has determined to seek some other
method of distributing his money. He
is contemplating state charter and
will doubtless secure one if congress
does not pass his bill at an early date.

The Bank Could Stand It.


A western lawyer tells of remark
able instance of the convincing power
Of feminine logic as evidenced by an
occurrence which he once witnessed
while standing on the edge Of crowd
that was besieging the doors Of bank
supposed to be on the point Of sus-
pending payment.
A conversation between rosy cheek
ed Irishwoman and her husband, who
were near the lawyer, at once attract
ed his attention.
MARY" said the man, 1--WE must
push up, so ye can dhraw your money
at onctv'
"But I don't want to draw it out,
Roger" replied Mary placidly.
"Don't ye know, Mary" persisted the
husband, "that they'll lose your mon
ey for ye If ye don't hurry t. dhraw it
outT'
AN shure, Roger retorted Mary,
"ain't they better able to lose it than
we are?"
Roger was stunned by this unan-
swerable logic, and after few more
words the two withdrew. Fortunate
~ the bank survived its difficulties,
and no depositor lost cent.-Harper's.

A Purse For tho Bride.

Some brides may be inclined to re-
gret that the old marriage custom Of
the dow purse has fallen into disuse.
It was the custom of the bridegroom
to fill purse with a goodly sum Of
money and present it to the bride on
the wedding day as the price of the
purchase Of her person. It sounds like
slavery, like the buying of goods and
chattels, yet the bride had a nice it,
tie sum of money for her own use.
Some of the oldest Inhabitants Of
Cumberland may remember similar
custom in that county. The BRIDE
groom provided himself with a num-
Der Of gold and silver pieces, and at
the words with all my worldly goods
I thee endow" he handed the clergy
man his fee and poured the other
coins into a handkerchief held out for
that purpose by the bride. In other
places, again, the bride had the right
to ask her husband for gift of money
or property on the day after the we'd
ding, and he was bound in honor to
grant the request.-London Answers.

Sixty Kinds Of Banana.

TO most persons in the temperate
zones a banana is a banana. But the
truth is that there are over sixty
known varieties Of the fruit, with as
treat or greater variation in character
as In the different kinds Of apples.
Hawaii is said to have something over
forty distinct varieties, of the fruit,
most Of which have been introduced
by the whites. Some of these are Of
extremely delicate and delicious flavor,
while other kinds are used, If at all,
only when cooked in various ways.
There is scarcely city house lot or
country "kuleana" or homestead which
does not have clump or two Of ba-
nanas, which grow with practically no
care, new plants or suckers shooting
up to replace the ones which have
fruited and been removed.-Los An

STUDENTS AND POLICE CLASH
Six Of Former Laid Unconscious by
Officers Clubs.

Chicago, April 25.-Two, hundred
and fifty freshmen and sophomores of
Northwestern university fought with
policemen in the banquet hall of the
Woman's Club at the Evanston Y. M.
G. A. building on the occasion of the
annual banquet of members of the
sophomore class. Six Of" the COL
legians fell unconscious beneath the
policemen's night sticks. Previous to
the banquet hall riot five of the So
phomores' seven speakers were kid
mapped by the freshmen and taken
from Evanston in automobiles. The
sophomores retaliated by capturing
two freshmen and tying them with
ropes to hot radiators in the banquet
hall. The captives yelled with pain
and within a few minutes 100 fresh
men rushed" the banquet hall to res
cue them. Many were seriously in
jured in the free-for-all fight that fol-
lowed.

SEVERE STORM
ON Great LAKES
Shipping lmperiled by tie
High Winds Prevailing.
IMMENSE DAMAGE DONE

Freezing Temperatures Throughout
the Western Lake Region and the
Mississippi Valley Have Practically
Destroyed All Budding Fruit and
Resulted in Loss Of Many Millions
Of Dollars.
Chicago, April 25-The eastward
moving storm, manifested first in rain
and high winds, developed snow and
freezing temperatures in the Western
lake region and In the Upper Missis-
sippi valley.
In the fruit belts of Northern Indi-
ana, Western Michigan, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin
budding fruit was damaged to the ex-
tent of millions of dollars, according
to reports from the sections affected.
At Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee, Du-
buque and other cities in the path of
the storm the thermometer dropped
from % to % degrees over night.
Lake Michigan was dashed into q
fury. The Goodrich liner Iowa, with
thirty passengers and a crew of twen-
ty-tive, is fast aground south of Racine
on sandy point which, it is supposed,
the navigating officer of the steamer
mistook for the Racine pier as a re-
suit of the binding blizzard. The pas
sengers are in no danger, for the Ra-
cine lifesaving crew is standing by
ready to give assistance. '"'
Equipped With w'rejS's.
The steamer went aground before
daylight and it is equipped with wire
less. The Racine lifesavers were on
their way in fifteen minutes. The
wireless reports to the Milwaukee
! Office say the steamer is in no imme-
date danger. There was no panic.
Steamers from Milwaukee and Chi
cago will try to pull the Iowa off the
sand.
Because of the binding snow and
the bowling of the gale the steamer
City of Benton Harbor, bound from
Benton Harbor, Mich, to Chicago, was
unable to locate the harbor, her ice
| encrusted hulk showing inside the
river several hours later.
The steamer Puritan, leaving Chi
cago bound across the lake, was beat
en- back to her dock by the gale. The
| small lumber schooner Cora was
caught thirty miles out by the storm
and experienced the gravest danger in
making her way back to her wharf.

Residents Fear Disease May Enter

Washington, April 25.-Government
employees are much perturbed over re-
ports,'which indicate that the hook
worm disease, dread foe Of all work,
1s approaching the national capital.
In Virginia, only a short distance
south Of Washington, it was found in
one school that thirty-seven out of the
thirty-nine pupils harbor hookworms,
while the two children who did not
have them moved to the country from
Washington only last fall.

FROST MAY HURT GRAIN

Feared terminating Seed Has Sus-
tanned Damage.
Grand Forks, N. D., April 25.-Fear
exists that the heavy frost had some
effect upon the grain already sown
and with the thermometer quite low
the situation is still further aggra-
waited.
The wheat sown and which had
come up must take a new start by rea-
son Of the frost.
It is a question as to whether the
frost was severe enough to touch the
terminating seed, for, if this has hap
pened, considerable work will have to
be done over again.

Origin Of Old Glory.
In the "reminiscences of Lord Ronald
Cover is found story Of the origin of
the stars and stripes.
The "star spangled banner Of the
American republic had it's origin from
an old brass on the floor of an ancient
church in Northamptonshire The brass
covers the tomb of one Robert Wash
ington and is dated 1922. On it ap-
pears the Washington coat of arms,
consisting Of three stars, with bars or
stripes beneath them. On the first day
Of the new year, 1776, the thirteen
united colonies raised a standard at
Washington's headquarters.
This introduced the stripes of the
present, but retained the crosses of St.
George and St. Andrew on a blue
ground in the corner. In TIT the
crosses were replaced by stars, as the
Declaration of Independence rendered
the retention of the English element
unnecessary and inconvenient. In thus
adopting the arms of his ancestors as
his own distinctive badge Washington
no doubt intended the flag merely as a
private signal for: his own personal fol-
lowing, but it was at once adopted as
q national emblem. Probably there is
not another case in the worlds history
In which the private arms of an OBJ
scure family have attained such world
wide eminence and repute.
