EATING CHILDREN.

washington, March startling
allegations Of cannibalism among
starving Persians are contained in
letters from Teheran to the Per-
sian American Educational So
ciety here from DR.. Susan /.
Moody, formerly Of Chicago. She
declares fathers are eating their
children and children are eating
each other in northwestern Per-
sia, in the vicinity of Hamadan,
where famine has followed the
sacking Of twenty five towns and
villages by the rebel troops Of
SaIar- ed -Dowleh, brother of the
deposed shah.
Forty thousand people are starv-
ing, it is declared, and the So
ciety has started a relief fund.
The American National Red Cross
also will be asked for assistance.
Until new crops have been grown
and harvested. there will be no
opportunity for the homeless peo-
pie to help themselves.
Salar- ed -Dowleh, who led the
rebels, has been placed in official
position as governor at Tabriz in
the Russian sphere Of influence
in northern Persia. Recently the
Persian government signified its
willingness to grant him about
$1,000 a year and restore to him
the $4,000 coniscated by order
Of w. Morgan Shuster, while he
was treasurer general of Persia.
This was conditioned on his liv-
ing abroad.

KANSAS CRY CLUB WOMAN
THINKS MODERN DANES
LESS WORTHY.

Kansas City, Mo-. March If the
women of today were deprived of mod
ern methods and appliances and forced
to live as our old-fashioned grand
mothers lived, she would freeze, or
starve to death through ignorance Of
the crudest laws OF self-preservation,
said Miss Josephine Casey, local club
woman, addressing the Kansas City
Historical Society exposition today.

sale grocery" she continued. "haVe
taken from the housewives shoulders
the burden of carding, spinning and
weaving the family garments, to say
nothing Of the curing Of meats, pre-
serving fruits, making butter and
cheese and even refining sugar"
A movement was started to form an
"old ladies' club" among the society
women attending the exposition, the
minimum age limit to be so years, and
the object to be the perpetuation OF
memories of the olden times.

owners To
INCREASE
THE Wages
Great Textile Strike May Come
to an End
10000 Operatives Are Involved
In Trouble
Have Been Out at Lawrence
Since Jan. u

Lawrence, March 1.-The end of the
great textile strike involving 10000
operatives which began Jan. IL, is
thought to be in sight Many mills
posted notices Of an advance OF wages
at least per cent beginning next
Monday. The advance will affect
nearly 10000 operatives in Lawrence
and vicinity.
While the Industrial Workers of
the World, whose 1900 or more mem
bers are idle, have not agreed to re-
turn under the increase as posted. it
is thought many strikers will return
to their machines next week. .
The posting Of notices today in the
Arlington cotton and worsted mills,
which employ $500 hands announcing
a wage increase of at least per cent,
to take effect Monday is regarded as
an important step toward a speedy
settlement of the great textile strike.
A scarcity of strikers doing picket
duty was apparent preceding the time
for the beginning of work.
There appeared to be a slight in
crease in the number of people enter
ing the various mills.
The party of children who have
worked in the mills and who have
been requested to appear before the
| congressional committee tomorrow
left the city today.
The delegation included only thir-
teen minors, four OF whom were girls.
Among the children was Carmella
Peeli. Is. who year ago lost part
of her scalp when her hair was caught
in the machinery.

SHERMAN
Law WAS
ATTACKED
A Lawyer Made Law De-
claration Of One Man
----
Sensational Charges Against
Existing Conditions
Business Men Must Hire Law
yerS to Know How to Act

Chicago, H., March 1.-THE disso-
luton plans of the Standard Oil ana
the American Tobacco Co.'S were
characterized as shams; the judicial
review Of economic questions an
absurdity and lawyers were represent :
ed as curse to business by speak
ers at the third conference of the
Western Economic society begun here
today.
The Sherman law, its origin, inter-
probation and effect. was the main
theme discussed.
Harrison S. Snal1ey, professor Of
political economy Of the University Of
Michigan attacked the trust dissolu-
ton plans and the judicial review OF
economic question.
The Reign of Industrial Combina-
tfons, was discussed by many other
speakers.
The substitution of discrimination
reign" for the present policy or de-
struction and enforced competition
was urged by Prof. c. w. Wright,
political economist Of the University
of Chicago, speaking on Prevention
VS.. Alienation. He asserted the
statute books have forbidden trusts
during the last twenty years, yet in
that period the trusts became nuner-
Gus and powerful.
Prof. Ernest Freiund Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago, asserted that the
future historians would point to the
equity features Of the Sherman act
as the first beginning of a construc-
tive reign undertaken at time when
all other governments confessed their
helplessness in the face of the trust
problem.
George w. Simmons, of St. Louis,
asserted there were too many lawyers
and that the Sherman law was strictly
a lawyers law. conceived and framed
and enacted by lawyers, so that the
business man could not possibly know
how to conduct his business without
employing a lawyer to interpret the
law for him.

YUAN sHI KAI SEEMS TO HAVE
LOST CONTROL OF THE TROOPS
AND INcENDIARIsM AND Pill
LACE ARE THE REsULT-HEAvY
LOSS OF LIFE.

Pekin, March AT 1880 this evening
desultory firing began again here. It
lis believed Yuan Shi Kai has lost some
of his control. None of the troops ex-
cept the Manchus can be depended on
and they evidently care only to de-
fend the imperial and forbidden cities.
Throughout the day the looting of
stores and residences has been going
on in various parts of the city and
there have been several slSirmishes be-
tween the loyal troops and mutineers
in the outskirts. The majority of the
mutineers, however, left the central
districts before morning.
The number of casualties among the
civilians and soldiers are not known,
but it is believed the loss of life is
heavy. The outbreak was the most
complete surprise, both to the govern
ment and to the foreign legations, and
there are some apprehensions Of
recudescence of disorders tonight.
Ten hooters, captured in the act OF
carrying off property, were executed
on street Dy lOgd dL SOiuASlOS haA
regiments Of whom were patroling the
streets. The incendiary fires started
last night have all been extinguished.
The loss is estimated at $15,O0O,O0O.

The Foreign quarters, composed en-
tirely of railway employees and their
families, retired to the British mill
tary post nearby, where $50 soldiers

Dispatches from Peking declare the

/ reinforcements of foreign troops for
the legation are required at present,

BATTLE ROYAL
OVER PREACHER
FOUR HUNDRED NEGROES FIGHT
AT TRIAL SERMON
MEETING.

Chicago, March 1.--Dissention among
the members of eolored church in
Evanston over the calling of Rev. Will
liam Fields to the pastorate, led to a
riot during services there last night
There were no arrests but the pastor
and several of the 400 members who
participated in the fight were badly
bruised. Police quelled the riot.
The congregation is said to have
been about evenly divided on the call
ing OF Fields. Finally it was decided
TO have him preach a trial sermon
last night. The pastor was little more
than fairly launched on his discourse
when one of his opponents mounted the
pulpit and dragged him into an aisle.
Then the entire assembly took up the
fight
An anonymous telephone message
summoned the police, who had great
difficulty in restoring quiet.

Mexico City March 1.-The one
man in Mexico who holds the key to
the present crisis more than any
other is Gen. Pasquale Orozoco. If
he is loyal to the Madero government
as Madero claims he is, then the revo-
luton is not as serious as current re-
ports state if he has decided to lead
the revolutionary forces, then Madero
and the government are very apt to
fall. He is without exception the most
popular leader in the entire country
and may at some later time figure as
a president candidate.

Washington, March Little Ger
trude Litwinski must be separat-
ed from her parents, Jacob and So
fla, and grow up alone in some
American founding asylum while
they are deported to Poland unless
some kind person will buy her a
steamship ticket.
Jacob and Sofia are now in De-
troit, Mich, out of work and out of
money. The department Of COM
merce and labor has decreed they
must be deported. Under the law,
the steamship company that
brought them here must carry
Jacob and Sofia back, but there
is no provision for little Gertrude.

and the secretary would like to
find some way to send Gertrude
with them. But the department
has no money it can spend that
way.
