ference and tf1e board Of trusteex

This action was not announced at
the time 1t was taken, and did not

Some Difference of Opinion
Exists As to Propriety
OF Taking Any
Action

a feature of great interest that will
be brought up at this mornings SEES
sion OF this United Daughters OF the
Confederaey, win be protest against
the Kinney design for the proposed
monument t. be erected by the United
Confederate Veterans. to the women OF
the Confederacy. in each OF the thir-
teen Confederate States.
This protest viii be voiced by Mrs.
George Humphrey Tichenor. delegate
from the Stonewall jackson Chapter,
Of New Orleans. Mrs. Tichenor has
been active in the struggle against
the acceptance OF the Kinney design
On the ground that it is unrepresenta-
tive Of the women OF the South. Her
opinion Is shared by many who have
endorsed her protest, including the
Confederate Memorial Literary Socis-
". OF this city.
Not Yet Adopted.
1t seems that the committee on the
proposed monument to the women
has recommended the Kinney design
to the veterans. but that the organi-
xation as a whole has not passed upon
1t. Considerable interest Is anticipated
Some OF the Daughters think It Is not
q matter with which they shesaad- con-
Germ themselves. inasmuch az they are
not erecting the monument. but others
contend that they are concerned In 1t
a. they can not stand quietly aside
and permit an unrepresentative statue
OF their mothers to be erected for fu-
ture generations to view as the typi-
cal woman OF the Confederacy.
Say Shes Amaxonian.
In the many protests that have been
made against the original design, the
Daughters ara not sparing In their lam
Euage OF protest. In sofite of them

Southern woman. ID described as ANA

Many chapters OF the u. d. C.. have
voiced their protests, and the Daugh-
tiers feel that inasmuch as the design
has not been finally accepted by the
veterans themselves. that their pro-
tests will be needed and the altered
design. which they clai mis- not ANA
xonian. will finally be accepted.

WI HU, CHINA. Nov. s.--Authora-
tive advices received here to-day de-
note the complete destruction of the
city OF Hankow by the Imperial troops
with an enormous property loss. the
destruction OF at least 1000 lives,
many Of them women and children
and the entaiiing OF great hardship
upon several hundred thousand peo-
pie who are homeless.
The city was looted right and left
before the fire had gained great head
way. The American mission was
spared while the David Hill Memorial
School for the Blind was robbed. The
customs house and the postofflce were
spared. The imperialist officers sue
ceeded in stopping some Of the loot
ing. A number Of refugees who en-
tered the British concession with cart
loads OF silks. 5ewelry and furs were
held under arrest and the goods con-
fiscated by the authorities Of the con-
cession.
Consuls Appeal in Vain.
The consuls appealed to the I'M
periai troops when the fire was get
ting serious to stop firing infiammable
torches, but gained only the reply that
the rebels were responsible for the
trouble and the admonition to check
them in their firing.
Stories Of almost incredible bru-
tally are brought here by late ar
rivals. The Manchu soldiers captur-
ed men an dstrung them up and failed
to strange them, tortured them to
death or crushed out their lives with
stones. Several Red Cross body bearers
were killed and a number wounded

Brieht outlook For Farms.

1t will not .be necessary much
longer to keep up the ''back-to-the-
farm propaganda, believes the
New York Times. The Census
Bureaus last announcement, says
that newspaper. that the value OF
farms in the United States has
doubled within a decade, although
their number has increased by only
one-tenth and their acreage by one
twentieth, shows what is going on
in the way of cultivating them by
more intensive and more thrifty
methods. Their value per acre has
leaped In ten years from $3.50 to
$3.50, an increasesof 10s per cent.
The value of farm buildings is
three fonrths more than in 1900,
while farm implements and ma
chinery have increased by two
thirds in value.
The movement back to the farm is
becoming Irresistible. The increase
in the facilities for transit and for
Communication by telephone and
telegraph between the cities and the
rural districts, together with the
Systematic spreading of informa-
ton about better methods OF filling
the soil, account for this agricul-
tural TRANSPORTATION. The new ag-
rtCulture has come. AS its princi-
piles are inculcated in the minds of
the agricultur!sts. farm values may,
during successive decades, double
again and again.

BETTER MOTOR
For AeropIanes is Needed
Declare Experts as Re-
suit of Race.

PARIS, July 2s-The lesson of the
European circuit aeroplane race is the
necessity of developing a better motor
according to the opinion of the ex-
perts. The delays to the airmen from
accident were comparatively rare, but
motor trouble was a frequent COM
plant
The power in the motor Is believed
to have been excessive. In this re-
spect the experts agree with the gem
eral contention of Wilbur Wright, who
recently pleaded for a halt in the
struggle to obtain great speed. What
Wright wishes is that the rules OF
speed races should be changed so as
to limit the size of the motors, eighty
miles an hour, in his eyes, being
good average. French experts want
manufacturers to strive for the same
regularity of motor in an aeroplane
that now exists in an automobile; In
other words, give up the struggle for
speed and concentrate on regularity
of safety. AS one expert said, The
bird is created. He has a body and
he has wings, but his heart does not
beat regularly"

sort of thing was on the decline

the fools who are not dead yet
Says the Advertiser:
"A crank risked his life this week
by going over Niagara Falls in a
specially constructed barrel" He
sustained a broken leg. It Is re-
corded, but otherwise was not in

or anything else is such an exhtbi.
