father owns 10 per cent OF the stock OF

TO unionize the camps and that he ana

Mr.. Rockefeller admitted that ne nan

Rockefeller interests.
Chairman Foster asked the witness
why. since he devoted so much ufhe 10

tention to the welfare Of the ten thousand
men at the mines. Mr.. Rockefeller sald
that he had done so by employing the
best managers obtainable.
do you not think that II you mad
shown a little interest in these poor, ig-
norant coal diggers you might have made
them better citizens?" was asked.

Mr.. Rockefeller declared that the miners
had no grievances 30 far as he knew. He
asserted his ignorance Of how much

to be the right thing to do in advo-

Women have shown their ability and
faithfulness to many high positions
to which they have been called. One

Base ball

Too much Bremmerhoff is the easi-
est way to express an opinion cover
ing the results of the game played at
the college campus last Sunday, when
the team from Slidell came over to
play the home boys for the second
game of the season.
The game was one of the best play
ed at the park this season as the
score of 2 to l indicates, the only
bad feature was the poor efforts OF
the umpires in the first two innings
of play, which lead many to believe
the game was to be a rolicking farce.
fortunately, however, and to the cred
it of the visitors, they were the first
to seek change, as Prof. Barre. of
the College. was called on, and after
the second inning the game ran along
smoothly.
Luce, for the visitors, was the
whole show for the visitors from the
very start, as on his first trip to the
plate he lifted one over the left field
fence for a circuit of the bases for
run number one, and in the fifth
inning, after two men were out. he
took first on the hit by pitcher route,
went to second on scratch single,
and scored on Moore's hit over short
that went through the left fielder's
legs
The home boys started of like
world beaters insofar as hitting was
concerned, stupid base running alone
being responsible for only one run
being recorded on four hits in this
inning.-and their only chance was
gone. for Bremmerhoff tightened up
and not another hit was made on
his delivery in the balance of the
game. Mickle, White and Anderson
shared the fielding honors of the
home boys, Anderson going back and
taking two foul flys that were all to
the nectar, while Burton White was
scooping 'em out Of the dirt la Col
Inns. Several misplays were record
ed that calls for censure, Brewster
at first being the worst offender In
| his efforts to catch 'em with one
hand (two hands when you're learn
ing, JOHNNY, and White, in an effort
| to steal, noticed the ball was thrown
high In the air, which called fol
his hitting the dirt, but maybe from
the goodness Of his heart he WISHED
to avoid his opponents an error, as
he allowed the seconu basem.n tt
climb up on ladder and then waitei
until he climbed down again to tag
! him.
Even the old reliable. Prof. Park
got the generous habit. for in thf
/ fifth inning he Intercepted throw
to the plate and allowed the winning
run which would have been an cas-,
out without his interference.
