EARTHQUAKE RUINS CARTAGO
Over 500 Dead in Ancient Costa
Rican City.
Coming without Warning ard Last
ing IS Seconds the Old Capital
Collapsed Bulying Hundreds.

San Jose, Costa Rica The earth
quake which laid waste the town Of
Carriage, in the province Of Cartago,
occurred at ESQ O'Clock p. m. It
came without warning, and continued
about eighteen seconds.
In that brief space of time the
buildings of tho place collapsed,
burying hundreds of persons. The
dead were first estimated at 500, but
it is believed that the fatalities were
much greater. Many hundreds more
were injured Late next day 500 bod
les had been recovered.
Carriage is the Oldest city of Costa
RIGA, and is twenty miles to the east
of San Jose, and at much higher al
titude than the capital. It's buildings,
with the exception Of the Carnegie
Peace Palace, were almost all built in
the old Spanish style. Its 10000 in
habitants generally are as blond as
the Saxons.
The climate is excellent, being cool
and invigorating, and the town has
been much favored for the location
of sanitarium by the authorities Of
the Canal zone.
The ancient town had suffered con-
tinuously from earthshocks since the
middle of April, and the series of
quakes did much damage to property
between April 13 and 10.
Since the latter date the people had
become rather Indifferent to the
slight tremors, which have continued.
This violent shock took them by sur
prise.
Paraiso, village of 1000 inhab-
itants, about eighteen miles east of
San Jose. also suffered severely from
the earthquake. Reports indicate
that nearly 100 persons were killed
there
Large assures have opened up in
Carriage Province and have caused adj
ditional alarm. Ten thousand per-
sons have been rendered homeless,
and the severe rains and lack of food
and drinking water are responsible
for much suffering. 1t has been found
impossible to provide shelter for the
people, who are huddled together in
a pitiable condition.
The ceremony attending the inau-
guration of Ricardo Jiminez as Presi-
dent of Costa Rica took place on one
of the plazas in San Jose, owing to
the fact that the people feared to en-
ter the Government Building.

st. Louis, Mo.-Excessive profit
taking by middlemen was the reason
assigned for high rates of foodstuffs
by B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the
Frisco system, in an address which
he made before the National Conven-
ton of the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union, in conference in
this city. He declared that the heavy
reductions in freight rates of the
last few years had been absorbed by
the dealers and not shared in by the
farmers or consumers.
The railroad man described the
demagogic politician as disturbing
and expensive middle agent, and
urged that he be cut out in the deal
ings which the railroads and the
farmers should have with each other,
because he fosters malice.
The most important force for the
welfare of the Nation will come when
the land owners Of America are or
ganized," said Mr.. Yoakum This
organization is important not only for
the benefits which will come to the
farmers, but on account of money,
which will be saved by the consumers.
1t is not prices received by farmers
which make living expenses high, but
the profits of the dealers handling
the foods between the farmer and
consumer.
The Florida farmer receives $2.25
for bushel of green beans, the rail-
road gets fifty cents for the S00-mile
haul to New York City, and the con-
sumner pays $6.40 for this same bushel
of beans There is thirty-five per
cent. for the grower, eight per cent.
for the carrier, and fifty-seven per
cent. for the dealer. This is not a
fair division.
Thirty cents a dozen was the av-
erage price of eggs in New York City

cents. The freight was two cents a

100000 FOR PENSIONS
Carnegie's 100000 Combined
With 1t to Aid Employees.
TWELVE TRUSTEES ARE NAMED

New Plan FOLLOWS increase OF wages

New York City. Another step by
the United States Steel Corporation to
care for its employees was announced
here. The big company has estab-
lished pension fund Of $8,000,00O,
which will be consolidated with SIM
liar fund Of $4,000,000 established
by Andrew Carnegie several years
ago. The pensions are to be dis
tributed among permanently disabled
and superannuated employees of the
corporation.
e. H. Gary, chairman OF the Steel
Corporation, gave out the following
statement concerning the pension
fund:
THE United States Steel Corpora
tion has established fund of 49,
100000 for pension purposes, which,
by agreement with Andrew Carnegie,
will be consolidated with the $4,000
600 fund heretofore created by him.
The aggregate amount will be known
as The United States Steel and Car
negie Pension Fund, and the net pro-
ceeds will be administered by board
of twelve trustees for the benefit of
employees of all subsidiary companies
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton. Eight of the trustees have been
appointed by the corporation and four
by Mr.. Carnegie"
The eight trustees appointed by the
Steel Corporation are E. H. Gary,
George w. Perkins, ]. H. Reed, An
drew Squire, j. H. Hoyt, X. K. Knapp,
r. G. Boiling and Frank D. Adams.
Those appointed by Carnegie are
Charles L. Taylor, w. B. Dickson,
Robert A. Franks and H. e. Tener, Jr.
In the last month the Steel Cor
poration has made three important
announcements concerning plans for
the benefit of it's employees. On April
IA last Gary told of steps taken to
provide increased wages for the en-
ployes which would call for an added
expenditure of about 100000 a
year for the corporation. Practically
all those increases in wages went into
operation at the beginning of this
month.
On April Is the corporation an
nounced the adoption or plan for
the relief Of employees injured and
the families of men killed in work
accidents.
Other methods have been used by
the corporation to win loyalty from
its employees. Each year the company
provides bonuses for employees, be-
sides giving them the privilege of in
vesting in it's stock. 1t is generally
expected in financial circles that the
effect of the steps taken to aid the
employees will be an important factor
in defeating the fight OF Samuel Com
pers to establish unions in the Steel
Corporations shops.
The officials of the corporation have
been opposed to closed shops consist
emily and are doing all in their power
to build up faithful following of
employees who will not listen to offers
from the trade union men.

STUDENT TUTORS DO WELL AT PRINCETON.

Princeton, NJ J.--In a report is
sued by the Princeton Tutors Asso-

$4,000 is the amount which in the
last year has found its way into the
pockets Of the students who make a
business Of tutoring less studious un-
dergraduates at the rate Of $3.50 to
So an hour. AS the total membership
of the association is about twelve or
thirteen, each tutor averaged little
over $1,000, or more than enough to
pay his college expenses for one year.
The Tutors Association was or
