JOHND., JR., SPEAKS !. ON VALUE OF PRAYER
Addresses Large Audience At Y. M. c. A. Tells
 Experiences

New York, December 29.-John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in addressing a large audience today in the Y M. C. A. build ing at Tarrytown, which was made pos sible by a gift of $500oo from his father, told of his faith in prayer, and of how, when he faced the crisis of his life, and happiness and usefulness to the world depended upon the decision, he prayed to God for four years, night and morn ing, to guide him on the right path.
 Suddenly one morning before dawn had broken, he arose from his bed apn lighted a lamp. He said the path of his life had been then and there made as clear to him as though a sign was before him pointing out the right road Tor him to follow. He took his pen and there in the early morning committed himself to the life he should lead. What the crisis was or how he committed himself he did not say.
 No man can prove to me that there is nothing in prayers after my expe- rience," he said. God answered me.
 MT. Rockefeller, who served as fore man of the white slave" grand jury few years ago, recently gave $2O,o00 toward the investigation of police con- ditions in New York, now in progress.

bers will be fully performed in every respect, and we feel confident that our members to a man will remain loyal to our union. The absence of some of our officers will not interfere with the man. agement of our business.'
 The unions last convention was held in Milwaukee in 1911, five months after the McNamaras were arrested. The an- nual convention this year was indefinitely postponed by the executive board on &C., count of the trial here. When asked whether another convention would be called MT. McClory said the question would be taken up later.
 Besides the 3S men in the county jail waiting sentence, McManigal and Ed ward Clark, Cincinnati confined in the federal building, remain to be disposed of Clark, who pleaded guilty, prob bly, will be sentenced with the others Sentence on McManigal is not to be itn- posed at this time, but he is to be re- turned to Los Angeles county. where he has pleaded guilty to causing an ex- plosion.
 District Attorney Miller said today he had taken no steps towards loaning to local authorities for prosecutions locally any evidence held by the government. He said undoubtedly the government would yield evidence to assist in local prosecutions It was repeatedly stated hv the district attorney and Judge An derson before the jury that the present trial never would have been neces- sary had the dynamite explosions in Cleveland and other cities In the last six years been stopped by vigirous prose- cutions."
 "The most significant thing of this trial has been the testimony that jobs have been blown up in the heart of great cities, that workmen have been assaulted. riots have occurred, and even murders have been committed, without their having been any arrests" said MT Miller. Local officials have feared to do their duty and police court judges have overlooked crimes. Of course the dynamiters had good grounds for their bodness, They felt safe under those conditions

LAJO|E RECEIVES B|G CUT IN SALARY Famous Cleveland Leader Getting Old-F0rmer
 Cab Driver

From the New York Sun.
 For the first time since he became d major league baseball player. nearly II years ago Napoleon Laioie will be asked to accept a cut in his salary for 1913. Lajoie. it is said, has been drawing at least $100O0 a year from the Cleveland American League club, but his new con tract will call for not more than s75o0, maybe less, so the story goes.
 It seems that while Lajoe kept up his wonderful batting last season he slowed up in his fielding so that Manager Bir- mingham thinks that in future second base should be covered by a faster man, possibly Olson, the big Swede. I.ajoie may be moved over to first base if John ston, the youngster secured from the Southern league last summer, fails to come up to expectations. Then again Lajoie may be sent 10 the outfield if Johnston keeps on hitting the way he did when he finished last season in a Cleveland uniform.
 Iajoie, like all baseball players, cannot last forever. He is 30 years old From a salary of 5000 which he received when he joined the Philadelphia Nationals in 1S96 this great star has gradually earned a higher salary each year until it is said that he has drawn total if more than Sl00,000 during his major league career. He has invested some of his money in a profitable cigar business and other sue cessful ventures and when the time comes to quit the national game forever he will have no cause for worry.
 The big Frenchman was a cab driver in Fall River 20 years ago. He was also a sand lot ball player of sufficient skill to earn a place on the New England league team of that city. In 1896 Arthur Irwin, then manager of the Giants, heard of Lajoie and went to Fall River to look him over There was another clever young player on the team named Geyer and Irwin was informed by Pres dent Marston of the Fall River club that he could buy both men for s10O0. Irwin urged the Giants owner Andrew Freeman, to make the purchase, but was turned down, whereupon the Phila- delphia National stepped up to the captains office with the coin and got them.
 Lajoie was a first baseman and mighty batsman even then. The first time he appeared in a Quaker uniform at the Polo Grounds he made single, three bagger and home run off the famous Amos Rusie, while Irwin on the bench groaned audibly.
 From that time to this Lajoie became one of the greatest hitters in the profess sion also one of the most graceful in- 'fielders the game has ever known. He played second base for the Quakers later on, and with such big sluggers as Ed Delehanty and Sam Thompson the Phil adelphias fairly terrorized the best pitch CTS. Lajoie joined the Cleveland club when the American league embraced that city and has been a Nap ever since, also managing the team for one season with rather dubious results Some of his friends believe that that he will not ac- cept a reduction in salary, and that rather than be humiliated in this way he will decide to get out of baseball. II he does it will be many years before his wonderful record on the field is for gotten.

Wandering Indian Acrobats

From the Wide World.
 The wandering acrobats of India are recruited from a low caste of people call ed Dombaranos, who live by this profess sion alone. The children are trained from their earliest childhood and do not receive any education in schools.
 They travel from village to town and give their performances, which are really wonderful. in the open air before crowds of onlookers. Their tricks are quaint and sometimes astonishingly clever.
 Supported by one another, these men will balance themselves in a crazy kind of pyramid rising 15 to 20 feet from the ground, and one of their number will then climb this living pyramid with a heavy weight in his teeth.
 Babies not yet able to walk are often seen being made use of in the most dangerous manner during these perform ances. Rajahs and rich Indians are very fond of the acrobatic displays, and engage the best of the men to perform before their guests at entertainments.

Clothing as an Insulator

In dealing with persons suffering from electrical shock if the victim remains in contact with the circuit his body must not be touched by the rescuer, but the latter may pull him out of contact by hauling on the clothing or he may take off his own coat, insert his hands in the sleeves and then handle the vic tim with little or no risk.
 Almost any article of clothing or ma terial may be used. provided it is dry and of moderate thickness pr. Morton points out that death from electrical shock is only an apparent death at first, and that there is practically always a time during which 1t is possible to resus- tiOn

Mother of Dead Woman Ac- cuses Two of Murder of
 Her Daughter

Hot Springs, Ark, December 29.--Gus IIassellman, a mechanic, and his sister in-1aw, Mrs. Ruby Rose, were arrested and arrangements for the funeral of Mrs. IIassellman halted today when Mrs Ella Ridgeway mother of the dead woman, swore to warrants charging IIassellman and Mrs. Rose, her daugh- ter, with murder. Mrs. Ridgeway based the charges on the theory that Mrs. Hassellman had been poisoned notwith- standing that the attending physician declared pneumonia responsible for her death. It is stated that before the phy- sician was called, the woman had taken patent medicine containing poison, and misinterpreting the directions had taken larger doses than prescribed. Ef- forts will be made to have an autopsy held.
 Mrs. Rose, who was married last week, acted as nurse during her sisters ill- ness. Both she and Hassellman declare the charges groundless.

 Governor Wilson indicated in his speeches at Staunton that he would endeavor to convince not only those in the party who did not see the point of view but the business men as well that legislation should be squared with the simple morals of individual action"
 Many an honest man." he said in his last speech, many man who had been unimpeachable in his individual conduct has nevertheless engaged in transactions, sometimes in this coun- try, which did not square with the principles to which he held himself ndivdually-partly out of ignorance, partly out of haste, partly out of the exigency of doing great things in short space of time. I do not feel that you can draw an indictment against any part of our business community. They have largely sinned in ignorance and in thoughtless haste. But we have got to square the biggest things with the simplest standards of morality and obligation.
 Must Measure Morals
 'It is not a task for the casuist. It is not Q task for the man who will draw fine spun distinctions. You have got to lay down the great measure- ments of morals and square by them. It has got to be done slowly, because some men need 0 lot of education. IL
