Ore Lease Alleged Illegal
The Steel corporations lease of
the Great Northern railways ore
properties, which the directors of the
steel company today formally de-

legal. The action of the directors
was taken but few hours before the
fling of the bill. The government
acknowledges that it was advised of
the steel corporations intention in
this respect, but states that under the
terms of the lease no cancellation
would be effective until January !,
1915, and there is no limit upon the
amount of ore that can be taken out

Seven Children in Second
Have Narrow Escapes

While riding In an automobile in

Mrs O. H.. Fernbach of 10 Ninth ave-
nue.. Richmond district; Frank Bond
of All Clayton street. Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward Chace of 3720 Twenty-third
street. We're severely injured at 4
o'clock Yesterday afternoon when their
machine turned turtle.
The accident, which happened in the
main drive near the chain of lakes.
was caused by collision of the ma
chine with limousine car in which
seven convalescent children from the
new Children's hospital were being
given an outing. Aside from being
severely cut by broken glass the chill
dren escaped injury.
Pinned Under Machine
Chace was pinned under the automo-
bile and it was half an hour after the
accident before the weight of the tour
ing car was lifted from him. 1t was
necessary to send to the Golden Gate
life saving station near the Cliff
house, considerable distance, to get
rigging and jacks before the automo-
bile could be lifted sufficiently to drag
him from his position. His chest was
crused and he suffered probably inter-
nal injuries.
The other passengers were more for
tunate in their escape. Mrs. Chace was
thrown some distance from the ma
chine and was badly bruised about the
head and body. Mrs. Dale had a collar
was severely bruised. Dale also was
slightly injured. The chauffeur es-
capped by jumping as the machine went
over.
Autos as Ambulances
Passing automobiles hurried the in
jured persons to the new Childrens
hospital. 1900 California street, where
DR.. Wallace I. Terry and DR.. j. r.
Nichols attended the injured. The doc
tors were of the opinion that all but
chace would enjoy quick recovery, 1t
being possible that complications may
arise in Chace's case from internal in
juries.
The seven children were badly
frightened. besides being cut. They
were in W. E. Travis limousine, which
had been put at their disposal for
the afternoon through the. kindness of
a woman residing at the Fairmont
hotel. The limousine was badly shat
tered by the force OF the collision.
Just how the accident happened is
somewhat of mystery. The two ma
chimes were travelling at a compare
lively slow speed, when the larger ma
chine seemed to skid directly in front
of that bearing the youngsters.
Mrs. Fernbach and Mr.. and Mrs. Dale
were later removed from the hospital
to the Fernbach residence.

TRUST WANTS
INVESTIGATION
HALTEOATONCE
TRAIL STRUCK BY COMMITTEE
LEADS TO THE FRONT DOOR OF
JNo. D. ROCKEFELLER AND
POWERFUL INFLUENCES BEING
BROUGHT TO BEAR.
BY c. n. Tavenner.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Having struck
a trail in the steel trust investiga-
ton which leads to the front door of
the house of John d. Rockefeller, q
tremendous effort is being made by
powerful interests to bring the probe
to halt.
Chairman Stanley, of the investi-
eating committee, told your CORE
spondent that nothing could stop the
truth from coming out. And the pub
lie ought to stand back of this man
who refuses to be bluffed or bullied
by the big interests which in the past
have controlled the house instead of
having been controlled by 1t, and
which are now making fight to the
death to retain their grip on the legis-
lative machinery of the government.
THE sixty second congress is, in
my opinion" said Mr.. Stanley, "pecul-
iarly responsive to the will of the peo-
pie. 1t was elected by them, and If
anything distinguished ii from its pre-
decessors, il Is It's absolute devotion
to the interests of the masses, and not
to the interests of the favored few
who endeavored to prevent their cleo
ton.
There has not been since the war a
congress which was more apt to grant
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none I am not in the least
disturbed by the threatened prospect
of the house suppressing the facts
which this committee has been enabled
to obtain and has not yet presented to
the country.
The committee investigating the
United States Steel Corporation is
neither endeavoring to convict nor ac-
quit this corporation; it Is simply en-
deavoring to ascertain the truth. If
the steel corporation has not violated
the law, then it will welcome this op-
portunity to demonstrate its obedience
to the law in advance of a litigation
which will take years to determine.
and if it has violated the law it will
use all it's power and all it's immense
wealth to silence a committee which
can neither be cajoled, deceived nor
corrupted.
1T has been argued that this inves-
tigation will assist the department of
justice. That may be true. The
country probably thinks the depart
ment of Justice needs the assistance"

THE FARMERS
SPECIAL NOW
STARTS WEST
COMPLETES ITINERARY ON THE,
A. c. L. AND HAS PROVEN MOST
SUCCESSFUL AND BENEFICIAL.
BY A. p. Spencer.

Live Oak, Dec. 2.-The better
farming special completed its timer
airy with the A. c. L. last night. The
train arrived here at p. m. and re-
nained open until about dark.
The entire trip has been satisfac-
tory from every standpoint and has
attracted much attention. The speak
ers have been changed throughout the
trip that the localities visited should
get the best instruction that the uni
versity had to Offer
Mr.. Wilbur Mccoy remained with
the train and was on hand at every
stop. He gave every detail in the
management his closest attention. He
was the first man on deck and had
made splendid arrangements. Conse-
quently at every~stop hotel arrange
Inents had been completed and an en-
thusiastic crowd awaited the arrival.
The farmers institute staff has re-
ceived splendid treatment in the hands
OF the Atlantic Coast Line. Captain
Christie and Engineer Hodges placed
the train where it would be most ac-
cessible to the public and took a deep
interest in the welfare of the crew.
While the farmers institute special
is the first of its kind in Florida, 1t is
not new in other states. The rail-
roads of the middle west conceived the
idea some years ago that the de-
velopment of the farming interest was
sent out was corn special where corn
alone was the topic and display. Then
the dairy specials in our dairying
states. Then came the better farm
ing special that had for its purpose
the development of agriculture gen.
orally.
In all these institutions the rail-
roads have co-operated with the agri-
cultural college. In this way the aver
age farmer was put in close touch with
the institutions that were working cut
his problems for him.
To visit the agricultural college
would be an event in perhaps a life
time. The better farming specials
now have to do not with actual farm
ing alone but with matters pertaining
to the household, as 1t has been ex :
pressed, from the kitchen to the care
OF the swine and to relieve this uni
yersal burden of poor farming"
This first better farming special for
Florida has followed the plan very
closely adopted in other states; that is.
to have good, substantial exhibits and
a corps of expert lecturers. The Wis
itors first inspect the train, then listen
to the lecturers. A great deal of sat
isfaction and pleasure has been ex-
pressed at all points. Nearly every
town having a board of trade used
ali their influence to get the people
out and in most cases entertained the
speakers in a cordial manner

CARSON EDITOR SHOWS UP GRAFT
IN MANAGEMENT OF UNIVERSITY

A few months ago the News dared
to express its opinion regarding the
management of the Nevada State
university A few of the papers of
the state took the matter up and
roundly abused the News for its
stand. This abuse did not convince
US we were in the wrong, but
showed to us we would have to
produce facts and figures to prove
our contentious.
At this time we are prepared to
do so and call upon those who
doubt our word to view the bills
presented to the state board of eX-
aminers monthly from the State
university and be convinced of the
Ian manner in which the funds
are expended. We say lax manner
hen in fact a harsher word would
erhaps cover the matter to a
greater extent.
Take for instance a bill for paints
and supplies furnished at the uni
yersity by a Reno firm and bearing
the o. X. of President Stubs
The bill was made out in reg
ular form and properly itemized. An
item was also included of 10 per
cent of the entire bill. The bill
was returned to DR.. Stubs for eX-
PLANTATION and his reply was to the
effect that the regents had made
contract with a Reno firm to
supply all paints and materials of a
like nature to the university at a
cost price plus ten per cent as
profit to the firm.
The board of examiners inquired
into the bill and round the price
charged on the bill and the cost
the same materials in Carson as fol
lows:
Price charged less the Carson
added 10 per cent Cost.

MAN Who WAS
IN THE GREAT
PORCUPINE FIRE
WINNEMUCCA MINING MAN
TELLS OF HIS TERRIBLE
EXPERIENCE.

Gus Bremen, a well-known min
er, who was one of the principal
owners in what was known as the
Swede lease at the camp of Bar
rett Springs, returned yesterday
from Porcupine, Canada, says the
Winnemucca Star. He was at the
Canadian mining camp during the
big fire that ragged there a few
months ago and tells of his miracu-
lous escape from death and terri
BILE experience during that great
confiagration that wiped out the
lives Of hundreds of people.
Mr. Bremen states that he was
one of the many hundreds of people
who were driven into the lake by
the onrush of fire, the woods be-
ing all ablaze and the flames spread
ing so rapidly that the water was
the only place of refuge. Some coo
people took refuge in the lake. but
he says that only about half of this
number came out alive.
In the water were all kinds of
domestic and wild animals and even
bears could be seen swimming with
the frantic people that were sur
rounded by a wall of fire, In the
lake, or what might be termed a
great caldron, Mr. Bremen says he
remained for siN hours with the
heat so intense that his face was
a mass of blisters and it was with
difficulty that he could breathe
When rescued he was in a very pre-
carious condition and it is only now
that he is recovering from the long
illness and the terrible burns he
received during that frightful expert
ence. 1t is with difficulty that he
can talk as his throat was badly
parched by breathing the fiery at
mosphere that enveloped him while
he was in the lake.
Mr. Bremen left here last Febru-
ary, when there was a great rush
of people to the Porcupine mining
excitement.
