The Object of the w. r. c.

1t is often asked what is the pur-
pose or work of the Woman's Relief
Corps, as there is no personal benefit
coming from the organization. Its
aim and purpose is to help the old
soldiers and sailors and their depend
ent ones. Mrs. Ida S. Mcbride, of
indianapolis, national president of the
w. r. c., in an address recently said
that through the corps for the past
year was expended $l1l,72l.16 for re-
lief, S11 ,32l.03 for Memorial day and
$30,555 turned over to posts. There
are 33 departments, 2,759 corps, with
membership of 160,S0l and the to-
tai amount expended for relief Me-
mortal day and turned over to posts
since organization 81 LAPS, ,064.42. The
total number of persons assisted last
year was 24,041. 1t seems that a
work that is doing so much for those
who suffered and fought to give US
the blessings we now enjoy would call
for the support and help of all loyal

AMERICAN KILLED.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March l2.-
The state department today received
IA dispatch from the Brazilian minister
in Mexico City that John b. McManus,
an American, was killed there Thurs
day by the Zapatistas. II indicated
that he was slain while attempting
to defend his house from an attack
of the Zapatistas, who accused him
of killing some of their number when
they previous evacuated the city.
The department asked the minister
to demand satisfaction from Zapata
and punish those responsible. A mes
sage from Zapata received expresses.

punished this morning.
The dispatches make ii evident that
the Zapatistas are occupying the city
and the Carranzistas are out. Later
messages state the Brazilian minister

Carranzistas had evacuated Mexico
City Wednesday night. r he Zapatis-
tas entered the capital Thursday.

AGRICULTURAL ALCOHOL.

Some years ago the U. S. bureau
of plant industry began an investi-
cation of the problem of utilizing
the waste and surplus products of
American farms as a source for the
manufacture of denatured alcohol. DR..
Edward Kremers, of the University
of Wisconsin, was sent abroad as a
special agent to study the develop
ment of this product, especially in
Germany, and his report has just been
published as Bulletin 1872 of the U. S.
department of agriculture. German
agriculturists have devoted a great
deal of attention to finding new in
dustrial outlets for alcohol and to
improving and popularizing existing
outlets. Potatoes are the great source
Of alcohol. About 5000 agricultural
potato distilleries were in operation in
Germany at the time of DR.. Kremers'
Investigations.

MAN WAS SUFFOCRATED

PUEBLO, March IA tale Of

most grewsome stories was told here
by f. w. Stovall, who related the
story of the death of Ross McClel-
land by suffocation. McClelland, a
ranches, was caught in cave-in
while digging a well. Stovall was
one of the party attempting to free
the imprisoned man.
McClelland had sunk his well to
the depth of % feet when the sides
caved in and the mass of dirt engulf-
ed him. He was buried 25 feet under
ground His wife heard the fall of
earth and summoned neighbors, who
then vainly endeavored to reach the
doomed man.
Mrs. McClelland sat beside the well
holding her two-weeks- sold baby, rock
ing to and fro, and praying that her
husband might be saved. The soil
was sandy loan and as fast as the
men dug, the sides would fall in. Nc
Clelland was trapped at a o'clock
When night came the men lighted
lanterns and continued the work. Mrs
McClelland refused to leave the well
but the body was not reached until

have made a confession that his story
told Monday night before the house
committee investigating into the re-

money, being half of a check for $50
received from a tenant on the farm.

MRS. ROCKEFELLER
DIES AT N. Y. HOME

NEW YORK, March 12.-Mrs. John
d. Rockefeller died at her home al
Pocantico Hills this morning. She had
been i'll for a week, suffering with
anemia and other ailments due to ad.
vanced age. A similar illness last
summer was largely responsible for
the Rockefellers moving from Cleve-
land
Mrs. Rockefeller was Miss Laura
Celestia Spelman, daughter of a
Cleveland merchant. She married her
schoolmate, John Rockefeller, in 1861.
He was then a poor young man as
far as this worlds goods went. By
all who knew her either as friend
or through her many imprinted acts
of great generosity, Mrs. Rockefeller
was conceded to be the ideal type of
a Christian woman. For many years
she took very active part in church
affairs.
Four children were born to the
Rockefellers, John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
and three daughters, Mrs. Charles
Strong, who was an invalid for years
and died in Cannes, France, in 1906;
Mrs. Alta Parmelee Prentice, the wife
of prominent Chicago man, and Mrs.
Edith Mccormick, wife of Harold Nc
Cormick, son of the famous "Har-
vester" Mccormick of Chicago.
Mrs. Rockefeller was woman who
did not care for the social life, her
family, friends, church and charities
being sufficient to fill her days.
Mrs. Rockefeller was 75 years of
age.
Neither her husband or son were
present when she died. They were re-
turning here from Miami, Fla, when
advised of her death. They boarded
a special train and will arrive tomor-
row night. Lucy Spelman, sister,
and Mrs. Z. Parmelee Prentice, her
second daughter, were at her bed

ROAD FUND ALLOTMENT
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE

DENVER, March 12.-The question
of whether the capitol building fund
shall repay its indebtedness to the
state road fund, thus permitting the
state highway commission to allot to
the various counties funds which are
absolutely necessary to carry on road
construction throughout the state, is
just now the paramount issue before
the general assembly.
A measure providing for the repay
ment of this Indebtedness which
amounts to about S25O,00O has al
ready passed the senate, but has been
held up in the house for the last three
weeks. This bill provides that the
monies loaned to the capitol building
fund shall be repaid by the issuance
of three vouchers, these to be payable
one each year for the next three
years. By Legislative enactment the
credit of the state is thus pledged to
the payment of this debt, and the
proper state officials are by this law
directed to invest these certificates in
the school funds of the state, and the
proceeds are to be paid at once into
the state road fund.
At this time when travel to Colo
RADIO will be heavier than in years;
when cities and towns throughout the
entire state are bending their efforts
to advertise the good roads of the
state, and when the counties are in
such immediate need of state aid for
road work, it seems strange that OBJ
lection should be made to the pay
ment of this legal debt. Again the
passage of this bill by the house will
mean 100000 days work for the un-
employed of the state. This money
will be spent here at home, and with
in the borders of every county and
will go long ways to not only re-
lieving the present industrial condi-
tions but will also do more than any
other thing that can be accomplished
at the present general assembly to-
ward the development of the great
resources of this state.
Through the Colorado Good Roads
association all bodies interested in
good road work in the state are be-
ing urged to bring before the mem
bers of the legislature the necessity
of immediate action in order that good
road construction in Colorado may be
pushed forward Immediately in every
county in the state. Unless some such
action as above outlined is taken, the
work of the state highway commits
sion will be seriously crippled this
year,

side. Funeral arrangements will not
be made until the husband and son
reach home.
Mrs. Rockefeller had been in poor
health for nearly year Tuesday
was such a spring-like day that the
doctors permitted her to be carried
into the garden. She appeared to be
greatly improved. Yesterday her cons.
dition was reported favorable This}
morning she became critically i'll and
the end came in few minutes.
All FIVE hundred employees of the
Rockefeller estate have organized to
prevent the admittance of strangers
to the home. The announcement of
the death was made from the Stand

A Different Story About Bluff.

The town of Bluff, where beautiful,
modern homes are the rule, not the
exception, has come in for good deal
of untruthful publicity during the past
week by reason of the extended and
in most cases exaggerated newspaper
reports of the Indian war down there.
One paper published the picture of
an old shack, which bears great re-
semblance to Abe Lincon's first
home. The picture was labeled
"Schoolhouse at Bluff, which is a
typical western settlement of about
twenty-five families, who are menaced
by the Piutes." In view of the fact
that Bluff is the wealthiest town of
its size in the United States, and has
homes and public buildings that would
be credit to city of 10000, one
cannot blame her citizens if they
fail to appreciate some of the free
publicity now appearing in the daily
press.-Moab Times.
