HENRY CLAY PRICK DIES IF PTOMA|NE

Pioneer Ironmaster and Art Collector Dies in Midst of Apparent Satisfactory
 Improvement
By Associated Pres.

New York December 2.-Henry Clay Prick, pioneer ironmaster and one of the foremost art collectors in the United States, died suddenly at his Fifth avenue home here early today in his roth year.
 For three weeks he had been suffering from ptomains poisoning. but in formal statement issued late today. his physi- elan. Dr. Lewis 4. Conner, asserted that ''Mr. Prick for the past month had shown symptoms of an organic affection of the heart, which presumably was the late re- suit If the severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism to which he was subject in early life"
 Dr. Conner added that MT. Prick died fin the midst os what seemed to be sat-
 The sudden death of MT. Prick shocked Wall street, although it had no apprcciable efrecs on stock values. Until the last Mir. Prick retained his interest in business and despite his years had fre- quently attended directors meetings. The last public function which he attended was the dinne- given here in honor of King Albert.
 Once the associate of Andrew. Carnegie and then his iinrlacable business enemy, this master of finance, who from a farm hand rose in ene world to become pos sessor of fortune estimated at $200, ,ooo,- 900, dieu less than four months after the passln, of the Laird of Skibbo."
 It is probable that a large part of the fortune he ar1assed by building up the greatest coke business in the world and becoming one of the 'steel kings will be left to the public.
 Following announcement tonight by FL bert Fl. Gary, directing head of the United States Steel corporation, that MT. Prick s costly art collections, with his home In this city. would be left to the public, other friends declared he had frequently told them his children would never be the richest in the world He had fntimated that although he would make ample pro- vision for them in his will he would not leave them his entire wealth. His friends today expressed belief that 1t will he found many millions have been left 10 technical educational institutions,
 Funeral arrangements, so far as they mad been arranged tonight, provide for private service at the Prick homo Thursday morning, at which the Rev. pr. Leighton Parrs of St Bartholomew church will officiate The body then will be placed on a special railroad car and taken to Pittsbrie for burial Friday.
 The career of Mir. Prick one of the most fascinating chapters in the history of in dustrial America, ended without warning at o'clock this morning. when only Oscar Rodgers, the financier's butler, was at his bedside Awakins, MT. Prick asked for 4 drink of water, and having swal- lowed 1t, lay back on his pillow.
 T think I will go to sleep" he mur- mured.
 Failing in efforts to arouse his master, the butler summoned members of the family, who had retired. not expecting fatal termination to Mir. Tricks ili- ness. Those who gAthered around the deAthb<d. beside Mrs. Trick, were tho iron ma ster's daughter. Miss Helen Prick. and his son and daughter-in-hw. Mir. and Mrs Childs Prick.

CONSPIRACY, SAYS JUDGE

Newcomb was before the court on a charge of illegal sale Of liquor. Judge Anderson was trying to obtain informa- tionS as to the mine operators attitude toward the United Mine Workers of America.
 Doesn't it seem that you are all in a conspiracy to milk the public?' Judge Anderson asked.
 Newcomb said the mine workers are paid only S5 cents ton for the coal they mine, while they have to pay the operators g 20 a ton for that coal on top of the mine and besides have to haul it themselves.
 .Ought not all of you to come down all around?. Judge Anderson asked and Newcomb said. "I guess you're right
 Isn't 1t true that you say the mine operators get so much that you want part of their profits?'' persisted the judge Newcomb said this also seemed to be the case.
 Newcomb said his last pay check called

AUBURN FACULTY
 VOICES APPROVAL.
 IF BRACES WORK

Auburn, December 2.-(Special. )--When the petition from the students requesting the resignation of Prof. Thomas Bragg was presented to the faculty it was met with surprise At a faculty meeting this afternoon the merits of the case were gone over and it was decided that the students had acted hastily and without setting facts.
 In the following statement given out by them they voice their confidence in Professor Bragg and the success of ath- letics under his policy:
 'sThe faculty of the Auburn Polytech- nic institute has for many years observed with qualification the wise and efficient management of the affairs or the Auburn Athletic association. We have seen the successful efforts for clean sports in all departments of athletics. We are aware of the devotion and self-sacrifice ex- ercised by Professor Bragg, faculty man ager, in his untiring and successful eff forts to provide strong, high-toned and efficient men to direct athletic activities to secure Auburn in her enviable posi- tion in the regard of her sister institu- tions and to uplace her athletic affairs upon sound financial basis. The cor dial mutual support and cooperation of the departments of management and coaching has furthered these ends. We further note with appreciation the work of Professor Bragg in directing his ener- gies in many departments of college life.
 Tn view of the above facts the faculty wishes to give it's unequivocal indorse- ment of the administration of Professor Bragg, and to assure the faculty athletic committee of it's hearty approval of their action in selecting and retainig Professor Bragg as manager of athletics, and we further deplora and condemn the precipi- tate and unheadful action of those stu dents who requested the resignation of Professor Bragg The faculty is peculiarly gratified at the many messages by wire received during the day from alumni to the atheltic committee assuring the com mittee of their unqualified indorsement of inc athletic management at Auburn"

 It is understood that the govern ment has delayed taking action in the hope that some other way out of the fuel difficulty would be found
 The injunction, as explained by Judge Anderson. extends to individual min CTS, operators or other persons who in any way encourage the strike or in terfere with production of coal.

 SOUTH DAKOTA COP.
Democratic State Conven- ton Indorses President and Vice President Mar
 shall for Third Term
By Assocjnfsd Prrxs

Pierre, S. b, December 2-Major Gen. eral Leonard Wood was indorsed for president of the United States tonight by the republican state convention, after 8 spirited struggle in which Gov Frank 9. Lowden of Illinois came out second best. While the republicans were meeting in one legislative chamber at the state capi- ltol the democratic state convention in the opposite chamber indorsed President Wilson for third term by unanimous vote
 Under the Richards state primary law, the county delegations cast their vote on the basis of their voting strength at the last state election and majority was necessary to indorse or nominate
 Wood received 2S, ,559 votes, from the re- publican majority, and Lowden got t5, i42 The vote necessary to indorse was 25 ,55S
 The republican convention was turned into I turbulent session late today when the anti-Wood faction halted a roll call on presidential indorsement and urged that the county delegations withhold their vote on that question. After this move was defeated, it's supporters swung their strength to Lowden.
 The republicans then quickly indorsed Gov. Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts for the vice presidential nomination. A few scattering votes were cast for Theo- dore Roosevelt Senator Hiram Johnson and Henry Allen of Kansas. The demo crats indorsed Vice Prsideent Marshall for third term if he is candidate.
 The only other presidential possibility mentioned at the democratic convention was William G. McAdoo. After President Wilson was indcrsed a delegate moved that the convention indorse McAdoo in the event that President Wilson decided not to be candidate, but the motion was ruled cut of order.
 The keynote of the democratic platform was perr .anent peace under the League or Nations The paramount issue of the re- publicah resolutions was Americanism.
 The democrats unreservedly indorsed President Wilson and his administration ArA the League of Nations covenant with out amendments or reservations. The re- pubiicans condemned the administration bat indorsed the covenant without amend n1ents but with reservations which twill tend to safeguard the integrity of the nation and preserve the Mondoe doc trine.''
