UNCLE SAM IS
 THE PEACEMAKER

Washington, January 22.-In response to the request of Haiti, the American gov ernment has formally rendered its good offices to both Haiti and Santo Domingo
 in friendly effort to bring about a set clement of the territorial dispute which is seriously threatening the peace of the two countries. Secretary Knox has sent telegrams to the American ministers at Port au Prince and Santo Domingo City, directing them to inform the respective governments to which they are accredited that the United States stands ready to intervene in the controversy This action O. the American government was taken at the instance of President Simon of Haiti. American Minister Furniss, at Port au Prince, telegraphed the state de- psrtment yesterday that the Haitien pres i6ent had requested the intervention of the United States In order that the two republics might not be plunged into war. Ii. Pauleus Sannon, Haitien minister at Washington, on behalf of his government, also communicated the request to the state department.
 official advices received here indicate While both countries have taken a definite stand from which neither will recede, re- ports received here are that both are seriously anxious to avoid war. The opin- ioit on the part of officials has given rise to the belief that the offer of the United States will not be declined.
 Easing his statement upon the reports he has received from his government, Minister sannon today declared the diff foi ences would be settled without con fiict He said he had received a tele- gram from his government today to the effect that all outstanding questions be- tween the two republics would be cleared away by arbitration.

Bureau Issues Bulletin 0n
 Fatal Mine Accidents
AMERICAN FATALITY HIGH
Fatality Rate Varies in Different Sec ti0us of the Country, Due to Min ing Methods often Crude
 and Reckless

Washington, January 22.-Through mis- understanding of orders or by reckless disregard of the necessary rules of opera tion, foreign born workmen, wthou' actual experience in mining, who are em- poyed in large numbers in this work often imperi not only their own lives, but also the lives Of trained and expcri- enced workers, according to bulletin on fatal accidents in coal mining" made public today by the bureau of labor.
 The figures cited in the bulletin are principally for the decade ending with 1908, during which period the fatal acci- dents in the coal mines of North America were 9,293 and the rate per 1000 employees in the industry. was 3.11. During the dec- ade ended in 1906, the latest for which figures for other coal mining countries Mere available, was S.1S per 1000. This, il is said. was decidedly higher than the fatalities rate in other important coal fields of the world. Figures for a few other countries for the same period are given by the bulletin as follows:
 United Kingdom, 1.19 per 1000 employees; Austria, 1.35; France, 1s1, and Prussia, 2ss
 Fatality Rate Varies
 'The full extent of the risk in coal mining in North America the report by these figures for the coal fields as a whole but consideration must be given tc rates for oaeh geographical section. These show that in the east central section which comprises western Kentucky, H. linois and Indiann, the fatalities rate fol the 20 years ending with 1s9S was only 2.25 per 1000 employed, while In the west. ern section CC,oiorafps New .Nenica sAft IItah) it was 6.4 per lOod and in the Pa oiic coast section (Washington an, British Coumbia) per 1000. It wouls appear that the variation in the fatalit, rates is due to different mining methods and to differences in the coal seams.'
 While the fluctuations in the rate from year to year have been considerable, the bulletin continues, since 1899 it has never fallen as low as per 1000 An important relation to the number of fatalities is the length of mine experience and the bulletin cites that of the 1i69 persons killed in West Virginia in the 1o-year period ending with l9OS, one-f1fth nad worked less than one year in mines and over 60 per cent had been at work less than five years.
 Mining methods in the United States. says the report in conclusion, are often crude and known safety precautions are either disregarded or not used Child labor laws have been and still are indif- ferently complied with in many states, and a number of fatalities occur each year among children at an age when they should be in school. In 1908 ten chil- dren of 13 and 14 years and IS of 15 years were among those whose deaths in the mines were recorded in the official re- ports"

He purposes asking the House to take up his bill the effect of which would be to fix the House membership at a little more than 43O, as privileged measure at the first opportunity The ways and means committee will bring in bill this week to provide for a continuance of the work of the .tarif board, giving that body a permanent status. The republican mem bers finally have agreed on the bill which they will pass over to the minority mem- bers of the committee for inspection Tues day, and then report the measure to the House.

San Francisco, January ee.san rran- oisco's aviation meet produced a new American endurance record today when Phillip O. Parmalee, pioting Wright bplane, remained aloft for 3 hours 39
 minutes and 70 1-5 seconds. The best previous endurance was that
 oi A. L. Welsh of St. Louis, who estab-
 lished a record of hours Il minutes and 55 seconds.
 At Los Angeles the late Arch Hoxsey
 was credited with an unofficial record of 3 hours and 17 minutes. A crowd of more than 25,0c0 cheered the birdman as he circled above and when he finally descended he was given an ova- ton. Several enthusiasts, among them Eugene Ely hoisted Parmalee on their shoulders and carried him in triumph to a stand in the middle of Selfridge Field,
 where Gen. Tasker II. Bliss. other army officers and host of, women crowded about the aviator to extend congratula- tions.
 Cold Wns Intense q could have remained up longer said Parmalee, but my hands and feet be- came so numbed by the cold that I de- cided to come down after clinching the American record"
 His long flight was uneventful. Once
 while sailing close to the San Bruno hills he dipped suddenly and sharply to
 force gasoline into his engines. Weather conditions were excellent to- day though the bright sunshine did not wholly temper the airs nipping touch. Ely, the daring Curtiss aviator who landed on the deck of the Cruiser Penn sylvania last Thursday. was lionized by
 the army and navy today. With Maj. ]. P. O'Niel in command Of the field cncampment, and Captain Pond l of the Pennsylvania. Ely reviewed the l troops of the Second battalion of the | Thirtieth infantry and a detachment of | blue jackets from the warship Then 1 followed the presentation to the aviator of
 the gold medal by the army. 4sE- l.s stss y, fa,itntion | Immediately after this ceremony Ely
 went up in his bplane to deliver on be- l half of the aviation commission invitation l to Mime. Tetrazzini. the opera singer, to l attend the meeting. Mme Tetrazzini. ac- cording to prearranged plan. was wait ] ing in an auto at the Englesde golf links, about five miles north of the aviation 1 field.
 It was Ely's intention to act as an aerial escort to the diva for the rest of the journey to Sefridge Field, but after tedsceIuiH Stne dNldtOT lOSt her autOnl0- bile through the crush of other machines on the road.
 The bird man was waiting for her at the gate, however, when she drove up and escorted her to a galy decorated box in the center of the grandstand, where she was formally welcomed by the avia- ton officials and army officials.
 Beautiful exhibition flights and military exercises kept the crowd keyed up 10 high interest throughout the afternoon.
 Lieut. Myron S. Crissey, flying with Walter Brookins in a Wright biplane, experimented with dropping bombs, and Charles F. Willard. the Curtiss aviator, conducted further tests by sending mes sages by wireless.

CARNEGIE HELPS OUT.
Contributes Ten Thousand Dollars to
Topeka Industrial Institute.

DR.. W. R. Carter, head of the To-
peka Industrial institute (colored) 4,
has received word that Andrew Carne-
gle has given the institution $4,000
to go towards building a dormitory
for girls. The letter received is as
follows:
''NewYork, May 10, 1911.
William R. Carter, Esq, President
topeka Industrial and Educational
Institute, Topeka, Kan.
Dear Sir: Mr.. Carnegie has re-
ceived yours of April 4th asking as
sistance in connection with the cree
ton of a dormitory building for girls
He notes that you have raised fifteen
thousand dollars out of total of
twenty-five thousand dollars re-
quired to complete the building ready
for occupancy. When you have spent
the fifteen thousand dollars and assure
Mr.. Carnegie that ten thousand dollars
will complete the building ready to oc-
cupy as aforesaid, he will be glad to
advance the ten thousand dollars as
yours.
JAS. BERTRAM, P. Secretary"
Andrew Carnegie, 2 East 91st ST.
The recent legislature appropriated
$4,000 for dormitory purposes, and
the Carnegie money will complete a
modern building which will be suf-
ficiently large to accommodate 1876
girls.
When the new structure is finished
the present building occupied by the
girls will be utilized as a dormitory
for boys. while the building in which
the boys now live will be used as a
teachers residence and guest cottage
The. new building will contain a
dining room capable of accommodate
ing $50 persons, laundry, bath
rooms, etc. This is the, second time
that Andrew Carnegie has shown his
generosity towards the industrial
school for negroes. Five years ago
he donated So 600 towards erecting
the present girls dormitory, and he
has closely followed the work of the
institution since that time

BITTEN BY MAD WOMAN.
Five Hospital Attendants Are Taking
Pasteur Treatment.

Kansas City, May 1.-TWO internes
and three nurses at the General hos
pital are taking the Pasteur treatment
after being bitten and scratched by a
negro woman, who died Wednesday of
hydrophobia. They will be under treat
ment IS days. They are DR.. Stanley
Freeman, DR.. j. d. Omer, Ethel Dull
Clara Fluscher and Helen Jones.
Carried to the ward Tuesday appar-
emily suffering from nervous trouble,
the negro woman, Marie Jones, IS years
old, 1920 Belvidere avenue, had convul-
sionS at intervals until her death. 1t
was while trying to care for her dur
ing these commissions that the attend
ants were bitten and scratched She
said she had been bitten by a dog and
a man.
Although the diagnosis indicated
nervous trouble, the attendants came
to believe that possibly she had been
bitten by mad dog. They protected
themselves as much as they could at :
terward. DR.. Freeman was the only
one the woman bit. Her teeth broke
the skin in one or two places on his
right forearm.
Not until an examination of the
woman's brain had been made could it
be determined definitely that it was a
case of hydrophobia. Immediately
thereafter steps were taken to admin
lister the Pasteur treatment to the at
tendants.

The Prospect Of Heavy Receipts
Weakens Corn.
BREAK INCLUDES OATS
Liquidating of May Pork Affects
the July Option.
Other Provisions Firm in Sym.
pathy With Hogs.

Chicago, May 13.-WHEAT-With cables
lower and no help expected from shorts
covering, wheat today headed downward
under heavy commission selling. Liver
pool led the way influenced by large Rus
sian and American shipments. The fact
that cash demand continued to drag here
and at other cities barring only Minneap-
sentiment for the time being in favor of
the bears. The opening was A97sc lower
to sc up. July started at 891zc to S9Ac,
a loss of 11c to &c, fell to S9Ac and then
recovered to 8913c.
Urgent need of rain in Russia led to a
decided rally. The effect, however, grad
ua1ly wore off and the close was steady
at S94c, net loss of 11c.
CORN-Belief that receipts would soon
become larger tended to weaken corn.
The setback in wheat was also against
the bulls. July opened 1sQ14c to 5s@Ac off
at 52Ac to 522zc but steadied at 523sQ521zc.
The market rallied later with wheat but
slipped back again. The close was steady
with July at 521zc, net loss of 3sGhc.
OATS-Oats were depressed by selling
on the part of local longs. The incentive
July started 1sc to &c easier at 33a4c to
S4c and appeared inclined to keep within
that range.
PROVISIONS-In provisions the HQuqi-
dating of May pork continued and some
what affected the July option. Other pro-
ducts were firm in sympathy with hogs.
First sales were 25kc to Size lower for
pork with May at s15621a. Lard and ribs
