warm that finally yuan Shi Kai offer
ed to resign

to obtain money. lie explained that
$4,000, 900 would meet the payments
to the soldiers for five months after
which the south would become dis
united and province after province
would renounee their allegiance to the
throne
But the princes were unmoVed,
They pleaded lack OF money although
most of them are wealthy. None

aid the government with the eXcep-
tion of prince Ching, who has handed
oper more than 100000 for that

lBy Morning journal specraI Leased Wire,


Washington, Dee. 2S. - American
pulp and print paper manufactures
are bringing pressure to bear upon
President Taft to induce him to re-
fuse to yield to the demand of Euro
pean governments for the free admis-
sion OF their pulp and print paper on
terms Of equality with the Canadian
product
The disposition of the administra-
ton has been to let this matter be de-
termined by the courts bit as this In
wolves long delay, the diplomatic pro-
tcslantS are by no means satisfied and
are adopting measures to show theii
resentment.
Count Won Bcrnstorf, the German
ambassador has informed the state
department that Germany would not
accord to American exporters the le.
duced duties on tool stceI and hard
rubber accord cd To Swedish and Jap
ancse exporters, under their specia'
treaties. because America did not ad-
nit German wood pulp and print
paper free Of duty.
The ambassador was reminded that
the German exporters would not SUI
fer by The delay if their claim was
lust because they had paid the duties
into the American treasury under
protest which gives them the right
to recover in case the court Of cus-
toms appeals should decide IN then
favor, as is expected.
1t was thought at first that this eN-
planation was sufficient but it now
appears that the ambassadors state
mcnt is virtually a renewed protest

American Universities Must
Soon Add Aerial Engineering
to Their CurricuIumS Says
Prof, Roach,

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Courses OF
aeronautics soon will be established
in American universities to fit young
men for the profession of flying and
airship building. This advance IN ed
ucation was predicted today by PRO
fessor A. Lawrence Roach, of Blue
HIN Meteorological observatory, Ros-
ton, in an address before the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement
of Science,
ut appears likely that the demand
for collegiate instruction OF young
men wishing to enter aerial engineer
ing as a profession. will soon require
the establishment of regular courses of
study" said Professor Roach.
"The installation Of suitable labofa-
tories provided with powerful blew
ers connected with wind tunnels or
of Whrling tables in large closed
space. is essential. Aerial engineering
can best be taught in institutions that
now possess departments of meehan-
ical engineering and naval architect
ure.'
Professor Roach said the United
States was far behind European coun-
tries in esta blshing Laboratories for
the study Of aeronautics.
Effective legislation to protect the
person and rights Of the American
laborer was the subject of discussion
at the opening meeting of the Ameri-
lcan Association for Labor Legislation
Professor Henry Il. Seager of Column
bia University urged the establish
ment of a federal commission on IN
dustrial ills for which legislation now
is pending in congress.

the men injured in labor accidents

der the so-called common law said

Many Investors Get
 Increase In New Haven Road Holdings

A prospectus of some of the stock holders in the New Haven road, just published, shows that there have been many changes in the holdings in re- cent months. Many stockholders have increased their holdings by reason of the addition, through a new issue, of S5O,000,000 to the capital stock A mo- ticeable feature is the large holdings taken by the insurance companies. The largest holder of the stock is the Penn sylvania railroad, its invenstment rep- resenting $5,375, 900. One year ago the Mutual Life Insurance was the largest stockholder.
 Adams Express co. owns 34,730 shares. Some of the other stockhold- CTS are: M. F. Plant, 4,2O8 shares; President Mellen, 3,580 shares; F. F. Brewster of New Haven 1900: Aetna Life Insurance CO, 2,30O additional and 5,077 shares in all; Hartford Fire h. surance O., increase from 1888 to 3,61O shares; F. Goodwin, Hartford, 2,600 shares. and Cheney Bros. of South Manchester, 3,191 shares. The New York Central retains a consider able holding in the company owning 11.24S shares and the Billiard Co. of Meriden own 13,072 shares.
 The New England Navigation Co. is represented by 156, 1903 shares. This is the marine department of the rail- road, and this stock is regarded as just as good as in the New Haven roads treasury.
