MINIMUM WAGE RATE NOT
LIKED IN MONMOUTHSHIIiE

Cross Keys, Monmouthshire, Wales.
AT the annual meeting of Tedegar
valley district colliers at Cross Keys
in Monmouthshire, a resolution was
passed expressing dissatisfaction with
the minimum wage act and the award
of Lord st. Aldwyn. Independent
chairman for South Wales, and de-
manding an amendment making the
minimum 5s. per man and rs. per
boy
Robert Smillie. acting president of
the Miners Federation Of Great Brit
ain, advocated the naturalization OF
mines. In the recent strike the men
had not secured what they had fought
for, but it should be understood that
they had not requested the interfer-
ence of government. He was not,
however, prepared to admit that the
minimum wage act had not conferred
benefits on thousands of under
ground workers.
Thomas Richards, NJ. p. general
secretary of the South Wales Miners
Federation, supported Mr.. Smillie in
considering that the only solution of
the mems grievances was nationali-
zatiOn OF mines.

STRIFE OF Ell HIBA'S
SUPPORTERS GIVES
FRENCH AN OPENING

Tangier.--The runners who nave
escaped from Marakesh with infor-
nation concerning the condition of
things in that town, have brought
news which has decided General Ly-
autey to make an immediate advance.
AS usual. the aids have fallen out
amongst themselves. Ell Hiba, the
dominant personality for the moment
has apparently followed the example
of all his predecessors in making eX-
actions which have stirred up resis-
tance amongst his supporters. In
these circumstances, General Lyau-
tey believes that it will be possible to
advance with safety to the outskirts
OF Marakesh, and there enter into ne
gotiations for the release of the French
prisoners, and for the surrender of tho
town,
The column will consist of some
four of five thousand men, with a
possible reserve of another foul
thousand. The bulk of these troops
however, are not of a peculiarly re-
liable description, and no one really
knows what El Hiba's power amounts
nor the extent to which he may have
reused the fanaticism of his follow
ers.

1t was agreed that the cessation OF
the work of interchanging students
would constitute a serious loss to the
cause OF higher education. while the
permanent establishment Of bureau
would be of great utility. 1t was re-
commended that countries other than
the British empire and the United
States should be included In the
scheme OF work and that every effort
should be made to develop the facil-
ity for the international exchange OF
professors.
The delegates included representa-
tives from British and American uni
versities, as we'll as from those in
the British dominions beyond the
seas, the Colonial, India, and educa-
ton office; the government Of Aus
tralia, Canada, New Zealand, South
Africt, and the United States were Of
ficially represented; there were also
delegates from the principal wo-
mems colleges, from the great public
schools of England, from technical in
stitutions and from British and other
chambers of commerce.

INQUIRY TURNED To
NATIONAL SOLDIERS HOME

sawteIle, Cal, Nov. 27.-Senatorial
investigation int the conditions at
the National Soldiers home here was
continued with the scene of the in
quiry shifting to the home itself.
Many prominent Grand Army officials
accompanied the committee, which is
composed of Senators Jones, Cham
berlain and Catron.
d. NJ. Fisk, for many years an In
mate of the home, was the first wit
ness called. He testified that the
barracks system in vogue makes pri-
vacy impossible and that the barracks
are poorly ventilated. He charged
that the food often is unedible and
that the quality of the clothing fur
nished the veterans is poor He ac-
cused company commanders of petty
tyranny.
The inquiry at the home probably
will consume several days.

was at last to pay for his misdeeds
with his life.
Continuing its headlong course. the
gorilla descended a slope and sudden
ly appeared at the extremity of the
village, where the huts, built of red
earth. extend in parallel lines along
a slight ridge. at the top of which is
the chiefs dwelling. At the sight of
the hideous monster the women ran
screaming into their huts. the chill
dren fled after them, uttering loud
cries, the goats and fowls scattered on
all sides, and the dogs barked with
rage. In the midst of this pandemo-
mum of noise the few men present
rushed for their arms and prepared
to do battle with the common enemy.
The struggle promised to be severe
for in its flight the beast had armed
itself with a big branch, torn from
tree, as thick as a mans arm.
With this club, brandished in his
powerful fist, he held the most au-
dacious at bay. Spears whistled con-
tinually through the air as the hunt
ers closed up. but the beast avoided
trying to force it's way through those
who barred the path. A bullet struck
1t in the thigh; it staggered but did
not drop. Grinding its teeth in rage.
1t struck the nearest native smash
ing blow on the head with its great
club. He dropped like a log, his face
badly cut, and was hurriedly picked
up and dragged away by his COM
rades before the gorilla could dam
age him further.
BY this time there was circle of
men around the animal-yelling hurl-
ing spears, and firing their guns
while the gorilla darted and whirled
this way and that striking out furi-
ously with its club. The uproar was
indescribable. Suddenly shot. fired
wildly, struck one of the hunters in
! the arm and shattered it. He fell with
a cry of pain, and the gorilla, rush
ing in upon him, tore savagely at his
back. The man was in deadly peril
when another native, coming quite
close, shot the brute in the left side,
whereupon it released its victim and
fell. From all sides there was rush
to finish il. but in a last effort it arose
whirling its club and champing Its
iaws-the incarnation of brute fero'
city. As It stood there spear, cleV'
erly aimed, hit it near the heart
while at the same moment bulle
struck it above the left eye. Mortal!
wounded at last, the monster dropped
dead

MULTNOMAH AND U. OF
0. READY FOR GAME.

Portland. Ore. Nov. 27.-The an
nual Turkey Day" football struggle
between the elevens OF the University
OF oregon and the Multnomah ANA
teur Athletic club Thursday, should
be the best game OF the present sea-
son.
The oregon teams last victory over
the winged IN" team was in 1909,
when the Eugene eleven won by the
score Of to 0. The two teams have
played lie games and Oregon has won
but three games, those in succession
starting In with a victory in 1907 by
the score of s to T. The 1909 game
was won by the score of 10 to s.
Watched Albany Game.
Captain Spec Hurlburt and Quar-
terback Rinehart watched the oregon
team in action at Albany. Hurlburt
and Rinehart made a careful study
of the oregon attacks and plan to
place the secondary defense of the
club eleven, where 1t will be of the
best use
Superintendent Walker OF the club
said that the early call for seats had
been greater than in previous years.
Keck Goes TO End.
The only change in the Multnomah
lineup will be the shifting of Walter
Keck from the backfield to an end
position. Keck's ability to handle
forward pass caused Manager Pratt
to put him on one of the end posi-
tions and If Callicrate turns out for
the game he and Keck VIII alternate
in that position.
The rest of the club team will be
the same, but during the third pc
riod a couple of substitute players
will likely be put in to give the reg
ulars q rest.
The club team has not been de-
feated this season and Manager Pratt
is confident that the Winged M
stars will come out on the long end
on Thursdays score.
Two ex-Washington High school
players, Anson Cornell and Johnny
Parsons, will be seen in the Oregon
lineup. Cornell is playing the quar-
terback position and Parsons is play
ing right half back. Dean Walker.
captain, is another former Portland
player
Yell Leaders Busy.
The yell leaders of both teams have
been busy preparing special songs
and yells for the game and it is ex-
pected that the roofing will excel that
of the Washington-Aggie game, which
was played November 3.
The oregon team will be outweigh
ed by several pounds. The average
weight of the oregon line is 1874
pounds and the club mems line av-
erage is close to 200 pounds. The
Multnomah backfield averages about
10 pounds more than Oregon's backs.
| Oregon's backfield is 16t pounds.

The great brute leapt towards lit

abandon it on perceiving new enemies

FIGHTING THE BIGGEST GORILLA

Wheeling round. says a writer in
the December Wide World Magazine,
the gorilla dashed away at its top
speed through the tall grass, the ma
tives in hot pursuit. Like beaters
they drove the animal toward their
village. and with loud shouts endeav-
ored to give the alarm to those re-
naming there. The gorilla. more
agile than the hunters, increased his
lead somewhat. but was obliged to go
straight on, for already the cries of

MICHIGAN MAN IN
DIR. WILEY'S POSITION

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Dr
Roscoe L. Doolittle, whose homo orig
inally was in Livingstone county,
Michigan, has been appointed acting
chief chemist OF the department or
agriculture to succeed Dr. Harvey
Wiley, who resigned yesterday.
President Taft has inaugurated a
canvass for opinions Of the leading
universities as to the choice of per-
manent successor to DR.. Wiley. DR..
Doolittle's friends say he has good
chance to retain the position.
The possibility of another probe OF
the agitation in the department of
agriculture that eliminated yesterday
In the resignation of DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley by the house committee on ex-
penditures in the agriculture depart
ment loomed up today. Chairman
Moss of the committee said that the
feud between Wiley and his asso-
ciates in the department was still be-
fore the committee and could be TAX
en- up at any time.
This dispute between the chief of
the bureau OF chemistry and other
officials OF the department has never
been settled by the committee" said
Moss. We have never had COM
plete record of the abatements OF DR..
Wiley's decision by the Remsen board
and the board OF food and drugs in
spections.
1T was these abatements which DR..
Wiley contended nullified his work
and made ineffective the expenditure
OF $l,990,0O0 OF government funds in
investigating the bureau OF chem
istry."

CHRISTIAN CHURCH PASTOR
CONDUCTS lENTEN SERVICES
Denomination Takes Active Part
in MONDAY Meetings For First
time Since Plan Was Started

For the first time since the annual
lnterdenominational- MONDAY Lenten
services, in the Detroit opera house,
have been in existence, the Christian
church took an active part, Saturday,
when the Rev. A. C. Smithers. OF 81.
Louis, now editor OF all of the de-
nominational publications, but for p
years pastor of the Christian church,
in Los Angeles. was the speaker. The
Baptist denomination, under whose
auspices the current weeks services
were held, extended the courtesy OF
representation TO the Christian
church. whose doctrine is closely al
lied to that Of the Baptist. DR..
Smithers is known as one OF the
big men in the church. He is up
wards of six feet in stature, broad
shouldered and heavy. and has a
forceful way OF speaking. He was
introduced TO the audience by the Rev.
c. j. Tannar, pastor OF the Central
Christian church.
When Jesus came into the world,
He brought not only Christianity but
a new humanity" said DR.. Smithers.
His coming meant a new conception
of the divine hand that ruled the UNI
verse and new Interpretation OF
mankind. Jesus was not the procuct
OF the era which gave him birth; lie
was not the son OF a Jew; He was not
the son of any race. He was not the
son OF sex: He was the universal son
OF man, born of woman; the Son ca
God sent into the world TO save nan.
kind unto His father.
Dr. Smithers will remain in Detroit
several days and will speak in the
two churches OF his denomination III
