vessel was purchased by a Mr.. Beer.

American trade. 1t has been rumored
that President Estrada OF Nicaragua

JOHN D. PIQUED BY
'ANDY'S' PEACE GIFT
Oil Kings Foundation" Was
for the Same Purpose,
1t Is Said
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S-Agents of
John D. Rockefeller are watching care
fully every move that is being made
by the trustees of Andrew Carnegie's s
$l0.000.o00 foundation for the propaga-
tion of peace throughout the world.
The oil king is said to be annoyed
because he failed where the steel king
succeeded. Rockefeller's agents tried to
have congress give its official approval
TO Rockefeller foundation for the
benefit of the entire race The pur-
poses of the foundation We're rather
vague, but it was said that Rockefeller
wanted TO turn over the major portion
of his vast fortune to be used for the
good of humanity.
PLAN ABANDONED NOW
Senator Gallinger introduced a bill
designed to permit federal incorpora-
ton Of the Rockefeller foundation
Members of the committee to which the
matter was referred opposed the project
on the ground that it might result in
eXempting the entire Rockefeller for
tune from taxation. When no detailed
statement was forthcoming the matter
was quietly shelved by the committee
It is now stated by a member of CON
gress who has talked with Rockefel-
ler's agents that he has virtually aban-
doned his scheme to turn over his en-
Nl-N AbA NHiiS " q 4OuuudlItn LOT the
good of the race.
FAILS TO SEE DIFFERENCE
Tho oil kings attention has been
called TO the manner in which Car
negie's gift has been received and is
curious to know what congress is going
to do about it. He is said to take the
position that there is not the slightest
difference between his project and Car
neSie's.
Rochefeller's advocates say that
If his project would have resulted in
an exemption from taxation, the same
theory viii apply in Carnegie's case
They are anxious. therefore. to know
what viii result in Carnegie's case.
How the trustees are going to invest
the money and what kind of charter
they will take out are some of the
questions that are agitating Rockefel-
Ter. He is anxious to know whether
the bonds decided by Carnegie will be
subject to taxation

LIFE IN A COAL BREAKER
Dark Picture Drawn of Employment
to Which Young Boys Are
Bound.

Practically every boy graduates
from school to the coal breaker before
he is fourteen-some boys as early as
er is a gaunt, tower-like wooden struc-
ture, at the top of which the coal is
broken into the required size for use
and then sent in continuous stream
down chutes which empty into wait
ing coal cars or pockets. The boys
are employed to pick out of the NOV
ing stream the pieces of slate as they
appear-straddling the chutes, or sit
ting on small wooden projections at
the side The atmosphere in the
breaker is so thick and dark with fly
ing coal dust that an attempt to take
a photograph of a couple of boys at
noon, near a window, resulted in one
indistinguishable black surface; the
noise is so great that | could not dis
tinguish the words of my guide even
when he put his mouth close to my
ear and shouted; the movement and
shaking of the whole structure are at
times so violent that in some break
ers ! have been obliged to hold
tightly to a hand rail for safety. The
boys grow so cramped from long sit
ting in one position that sometimes
they seize the opportunity to chase
one another around the slippery metal
platforms And there was not one
superintendent in the four or five col
Iieries that we have happened to visit
who did not. upon our questioning, re-
late at least one tragedy that had
occurred in his experience, of boy
who had slipped into a coal pocket
and been smothered, or had been
c1angled and killed by falling into the
machinery. When we have asked
whether the slate picking could not
be done by mechanical devices. the
invariable answer has been. yes, but
the boys are cheaper. "-Harper's Mag
