As lecturer and editor he has been a leader in the peace movement in this country and has so impressed his forceful personality upon the world work CTS in the movement as to stand high in the councils of The Hague conferences MT.

ROBIN WEBB KILLED ! AT SLOSS FURNACE:
Young Man Caught in the
 Machinery Some Way While Oiling

Robin A. Webb, aged 19 years, an oiler Ht the furnace of the Sloss- Sheffield Iron company at North Birmingham, was killed last night about S:3O o'clock while oiling some machinery around the fur mace.
 It seems that the young man had reached in some place to pour oil in the machinery, when he was caught by some rapidly moving machine, whirled over several times and injured so badly that he died before Mackey's ambulance, which was called, could reach him.
 It is said that he had just been am ployed at the furnace and was a green hand. He is a son of NJ. F. Webb, the real estate man who lives at 2427 Twen- tieth avenue. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

 "As to this objection, il is our unani- nous opinion that the committee should continue the investigation IS if no pro ceeding on the part of the government were now pending against said corpora tion; but not for the purpose Of deter mining the questions involved in the ac- tion brought by the government against the United States Steel corporation and any inquiry into the subjects embraced in that action should be made for the purpose of enabling the commi uee to recommend such further legislation as in it's opinion is desirabe Touching all other matters the commmittee will pro- cSed as heretofore.
 *rhe committee will continue inquiry into the ore holdings and transportation facilities of the Steel corporation, and it's effect upon independent ore holders and shippers. John D. Rockefeller and the Rev. F. D. Gates, who were invited to appear to deny charges made against them by Alfred and Leondas Merritt of Duluth. have not yet replied to MT. Stanley, and are not expected to come before the committee. It is probable that they will not be subpoenaed.
 Members of the committee expressed themselves as pleased with the settle ment of the question of procedure. 1t obviates taking the question to the floor of the House. and. it is calculated, has averted the threatened discord in the democratic ranks in the House.
 "The matter is settled justly and har- moniousy." said Chairman Stanley to- night.
 Ut is a happy conclusion of the diff ference said Representative Littleton Tt shows that the committee has re- spect for the court and the position of the executive department of the government which has brought the suit against the corporation

 BURNED LAST NIGHT
Someone Stumbled Against His Arm While Taking Flashlight
 in Crowd

tographer, had his hand badly burned last night while taking a flashlight photograph of the opening exercises of the Great White Way opening. There were also burns about the face ard the fact that he was wearing glasses is probably all that saved his eye sight.

He was given immediate attention at the Pat ton-Pope drug store and was later taken 10 Robinsons infrmary where the burns were dressed.

NOTHING 5 KNOWN
 OF RUSSIAN TROOPS
How Large a Force Has Been Dispatched to /
 Teheran Doubtful

London, December "Details to the advance of the Russian troops Tn Persia have been kept for several days completely in the dark. How large force has been dispatched by the Rus sian government and particulars as to its movements are unknown in Lon don, but the public generally feels that the end will be the establishment of a Russian protectorate over the best parts of Persia, including the tive northern capitals, Tabriz and Teherau.
 Newspapers and politicians generally regard it as unlikely that Russia, once entrenched in Teheran, will ever with draw.
 The Teheran correspondent of the Times predicts that Russia's first act will be to substitute new form of government for that of the national council.
 Possible damage to British conner oial interests is absorbing much atten- ton, but the blow to British prestige among Orientals causes most anxiety.
 The Outlook says: We are face to face with one of the gravest crises in the history of British policy in Asia"
 w. Morgan Shuster, the American treasurer general in Persia, whose dis missal was demanded by Russia, is held responsible for bringing the Persian troubles to a crisis. He has been one of the most discussed men in Erg- land during the last week. All the newspapers credit him with efficiency and good intentions, but accuse him of lacking diplomatic tact. The British cabinet Is trying to induce Russia to ebate her demands but the crux of the matter is the tenstion with Germany, which overshadows all otherc onsider- ations. England needs Russia's sup port in case of a war with Germany, and therefore cannot afford to take a stand against her.

PULLMAN A MODEL TOWN

With reports of murders, shooting
scrapes. suicides, knifings. robberies
and drunkenness coming from various
other towns in the Inland Empire, it
is no wonder that Pullman's citizens
are contented and happy in the
thought that they live in the most
desirable town. from every stand
point. in this section of the country.
During the past year this city has
received probably more desirable adj
vertising and favorable comment
from outsiders, than during any pre-
vious year since the college was To-
Gated here. and the fact that murders
and various other crimes are strang-
ers to the city has been powerful
factor in attracting the attention OF
outsiders to the college town.
From moral, as we'll as social
standpoint, Pullman is without a.
peer in the Inland Empire; her citi-
zens are peaceable. law-abiding and
thrifty. The attractions which draw
the many undesirable characters to
other towns during the harvest seas
on do not exist in Pullman, and con-
sequently the laborers in the harvest
fields near this city are of much
higher class than in other towns.

BIN CAREFUL WITH GASOLINE

Even when the greatest possible
caution is exercised gasoline is a
most dangerous article, and the great
est care should at all times be eXer-
cised in handling and using the Ii
quid. Many residences and even large
business blocks have been destroyed
by fire, the cause of which could be
traced to gasoline The fire insurance
companies, while permitting the use
of gasoline stoves, place several re-
strictions on the use of the inflam-
mable fuel, and every policy holder
should acquaint himself with the
terms of the gasoline stove permit
in order that he may live up to the
terms and not place the insurance
money in jeopardy by violating the
gasoline clause The permit which is
attached to fire insurance policies
reads as follows:
Gasoline Stove Permit
