FIRST OXFORD DEGREES
 CONFERRED ON WOMEN

OXFORD, Eng, Nov. 30 (by Asso- ciated Press. .)-For the first time in it's history of 900 years, Oxford uni versity has conferred degrees on wo- men. The women graduates wear the same hoods as the men, but the classical mortar-board cap has been ruled out in their cases and new cap, shaped something like a bishops mitre, has been specially designed for them.
 Cambridge now remains the only English university which withholds degrees from women.

 MOOSE HERDS

Bob Henderson, discoverer of the <londike, with James Mcdonald and Frank McNeill, recently returned to Dawson from an exploration trip up the Stewart river during the sum- mer, of which he gives the follow ing interesting account:
 we left Dawson about the fourth of July" said the redoubtable Bob, "and went to Mayo Landing; thence to Fraser Falls by canoe, and on to Lansing creek, distant about 85 miles, where we camped ten days.
 Leaving Lansing creek, we went up Sevenmile canyon on the Stewart. When through there the valley widens out with terraced benches which seemed to be hundreds of feet high. The formation is largely grey slate, shale and plumbago. No for nation worthy of mention is in view until the Landue lake, at which place preached, where diorite abounds to and beyound McQuesten lake.
 We left our outfit at Forbes cabin on Ladue lake, at which place Mir. Forbes has an exceedingly prom ising claim. Quite a large number of locations have been made in that vicinity. The vein is exposed for about 50 feet by about 15 inches wide. A separate and distinct ledge has been discovered further up the mountain. The formation gives abundant proof that it is continual tion of Keno Hill formation, the richest mines I ever saw.
 Various indications of coal were found on the Pelly river.
 eff suitable roads and steambats were supplied this might prove one of the leading mining camps of the world It will yet prove to be most essential that assistance be given to groups of prospectors if we desire that early additional discoveries of substantial value be made.
 Tt may be well that we relate some of our observations on the way up the Stewart river:
 At Lansing creek we saw the most degenerate and wretched In. dians, male and female. Their unfor- tunate offsprings bear the indelible marks of the sins of their equally unfortunate parents that only the grave can obliterate. It has been the custom of these Indians to make annual pilgrimages to Herschel Isl. and, and, obviously, came in con- tact with sealers and whalers at that place where the germs of their de- struction were planted.
 Owing to the abundance of moose assembling in the Lansing country, the Indians killed 1900 last year. The Indians number less than 100l and the number of moose slaugh- tered would exceed twelve for each Indian.
 "They have a large number of miserable, worthless, mangy dogs to assist them in consuming most of the unreasonable number slaugh- tered. By all means let the proper authorities regulate the number of worthless dogs and throttle the slaughter of moose and thereby pre- vent their extinction. They are fast going the way of the buffalo on

TWELVE MEN MISSING

BRISBANE, Australia, Nov 30 (by Associated PreSS).-It !. is reported from New Guinea that two white men and 10 native carriers are miss ing and are believed to have been killed and eaten by the natives on the Fly river.
 The missing men were hunting birds of paradise in Dutch New Guinea. A searching party reported that on visiting a native village on the Fly river the villagers fled. Some booklets stained with blood, a pho- tograph, some clothes and other evi. dences of the white men were found.

WILSON AND BRYAN
PLAY FOR POSITION
SHALL PEACE TREATY PROBLEM
GO INTO THE PRESIDEN-
TIAL CAMPAIGN.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The demo-
cratic party today was faced with al
tentative of following President Will
sons leadership and making the
peace treaty an issue in the Novem-
Der elections or following w. j. Bry-
ans leadership and securing a quick
ratification on the best compromise
terms possible. In the opinion of
party leaders it did not seem likely
today that Bryan's appeal to the
Jackson day banqueters last night
and early today would have an effect
of splitting the party or weakening
Wilson's control. Bryan's last speech
ended at $3.50 this morning. Wilson
and Bryan are Numerically opposed
in the situation. According to a wide
spread belief here the treaty will go
into the 1920 campaign as a para
mount issue in spite of Bryan's argu-
ments. From high administration
quarters today came the suggestion
that it might be possible to hold a
referendum on the treaty before the
next election. Such a referendum
would be purely advisory to the SEN
ate and not mandatory.
Senator Lodge, republican leader
in the senate, declared he was will
ing for the treaty to go into the next
presidential campaign, and said the
presidents attitude made a compro-
mise impossible.

SENATOR STERLING
CURB RADICALS
DAKOTAN MAKES STRONG
APPEAL FOR HIS MEASURE
In SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Need of ade-
quate laws to deal with persons ad-
yocating the overthrow of govern
ment by force of violence was urged
yesterday by Senator Sterling, re-
publican, South Dakota, during con-
sideration of the sedition bill in the
senate.
The bill. he declared, did not pro-
hibit discussion as to forms of gov
ernment, pointing out that a man
could advocate soviet government
without violating its provisions.
Answering an inquiry by Senator
Gronna. republican. North Dakota, as
to the wisdom of giving one man the
power to say whether book or news
paper violated the sedition act, SEN
ator Sterling said the power had to
be lodged somewhere and since the
postmaster general was the head Of
the mail system, he would be the pro-
per man to determine whether the
law had been violated. The right Of
appeal to the court was always open,
he added.
Senator Lodge, republican, Massa-
chusetts. stimulated a lively discus
sion by remarking that the bill ap-
peared to confer power upon the
postmaster general to blackmaif all
newspapers"
"I'd like to see some process in
troduced for getting the post depart
ment's action public" he said. tits
all very well to say that publisher
or newspaper excluded from the
mails could get assured redress in
the courts If the action was improper
but the time taken to get into court
might mean ruin in most cases."
"They are sending literature down
into the south through the mails urg-
ing the negroes to burn and destroy
everything" said Senator Overman,
democrat, North Carolina. 1--WE want
1t stopped instantly without waiting
and letting the practice build up a
conflagration."
''It seems to me that our danger Is
that of becoming too solicitous OF the
rights of the man who is trying to
sail just as close as he can to the
border line of advocating destruction
of government and abolition Of pri-
vate property" said Senator New, re-
publican. Indiana.
II see I'm being wholly misunder-
STOOD" Senator Lodge put in. I'm
not seeking to protect the man who
has any of those intents. Ny fear Ii
that the innocent may fall under the
ban. Give the postmaster general alb
solute power to control the use OF
the mails and he might control the
political policy of every Newspaper IN
the United States. He might take
advantage of any careless paragraph
and distort newspapers' words into q
pretsxt for its suppression.
Further consideration of the bill
was deferred.

MORE MEXICAN
EARTHQUAKES
CASUALTIES ESTIMATED Al
OVER 4,OOO-SITUATION
is DESPERATE.

Mexico City, Jan. "A volcanic
eruption and new earthquakes Thurs
day caught the helpless people of
Vera Cruz in a new situation of terror.
Added to Saturdays earthquakes cas-
ualties today were estimated at over
1000. Twelve towns and villages
are reported to be completely de-
stroyed. A small range of mountains
known as Cerro de San iguel, near
Cordoba, Vera Cruz, was the scene of
Thursdays catastrophe. One hill
split in two parts, dispatches said,
throwing great stream Of lava and
sulphur gases into the air. A stream
of lava 600 feet wide was flowing
from the fissure today, dispatches
said, and wa SHOWING out over the
plains below the mountains. Regis
tration of earthquakes continues.
The sudden volcanic upheaval came
without warning, catching farmers
working in the fields at the base OF
the hills. Many were killed and
their bodies caught in the river of
flaming lava. Dispatches describe
the situation as desperate.

RAILWAY MEN To
CONDUCT STORES
PLANS TO ELIMINATE MIDDLE
MEN AND REDUCE COSTS
BROTHERHOODS SAY.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Organized
railway employees have started on the
other end of the line in an effort to
solve the problem of the high cost of
living. Unable. to obtain relief
through additional wage increases
which one of the chiefs said were in
variably followed by increases in liv-
ing costs, the four big railroad broth
erhoods and the affiliated railway
shop crafts have adopted a scheme to
escape the profits of the middleman
by system of cooperative buying,
production and distribution of the
necessities of life.
Plans for the cooperative move
ment were laid at the farm labor con-
ference at Chicago in November and
although they are yet in a tentative
stage a definite course of action is
expected to be adopted at a second
conference called for February 1915
at Chicago.
The proposal calls for an alliance
between farmers and laborers to Gre
ate direct dealing between farm pro-
ducers and city consumers and be-
tween city producers and farm con-
sumers.
The plan is being worked out by
the all-American farm labor coopera-
tive commission which was formed
after the November meeting in Chi
cago and it includes the erection of
warehouses as distributing centers
and the organization of a cooperative
bank.
