CHRISTIANS BIT HAVE
DONE THE DEED
KOW THOUGHT ILONGOTS DID
NOT MURDER DR.
JONES
CHICAGO, May 18. Information
that Dr. W. H. Jones of-the Field
Unseam, who was murdered at
Dumabatu in Luzon on March 28.
may have been killed by so-called
Christians instead of by Savage head
hunters, has been received by George
A. Dorsey of tbe Museum in a letter
received a few days ago from the
interior of the islands. Secretary
Worcester today intimated that the
Christians may have had motives of
revenge. According to Secretary
Worcester it is improbable that the
head hunting Illongots, with whom
Dr. Jones lived and worked, were in
any way to blame of the death of the
scientist These savages brought the
man's body to the authorities and all
evidence points to their innocence,
the secretary declares.
Dr. Dorsey revealed the fact that
Dr. Jones had told him in one of his
letters that certain Christian native
traders had olio wed him into the wild
Illongot country having feared to
penetrate this district before his arrival.
"When I first heard of his death
and learned that it was attributed to
Ilongots of Dumabatu with whom I
knew that he had lived on friendly
terms," the letter states, "the idea oc
curred to me that the real murderers
in all probability were Christian na
tives, whose abuse of the wild people
he had reported"

DISCIPLINE PREVAILS.
CHICAGO. May 18.-Four days of
solitary confinement broke a "strike '
among a score or more of prisoners
in the first tier of the county jail.
vThe walkout" occurred when the
men refused to live in the corridors
with negroes and the jailer told them
they would be placed in solitary cells
and fed only bread and water to
drink. The men defied the jailer and
10 of the most obdurate were placed
in the dark cells and kept there until
they sent word that they would obey.
Then they were released.

BREAD FAMINE
ID EAST Ml Y
FOUR HUNDRED BAKERIES
WHEAT PRICE AND STRIKES
ARE THE CAUSE.
KEEPS IN SPOT-LIGHT.
NEW YORK, May, ia-Mis
Marian Weston Cottle, the young
'woman lawyer who three days agJ
caused the arrest of a man in the
Subway for spitting, called at polic?
headquarters late last night to report
the receipt of a letter in which she
had been threatened- The contents
of the letter the police would not
divulge. Miss Cottle intimated the
writer wanted money.
NEW YORK. May IS--A bread
famine among the 800,000 residents of
the Kast Side was inaugurated today
when more than 400 bakeries closed
down- The trouble started with the
increase in the price of wheat, and
was aiignmented by the strike of the
bakery employes on the F.usl Side.
At a meeting of the baker owner
last night it was decided to close nil
of their shops, numbering more than
400. oemmencing this morning The
police, hearing of this, detailed an
unusually large number of men in
this section today during the hours
when house wives usually visit the
bakeries. There was a fear that the
riotous scenes of a few years ago,
when the price of meat was raised,
might be repeated. Bakeries which
are not affected by the action of the
meeting of last night will not be able
to supply one-tenth of the demand
for bread In the crowded East Side,
and therefore it was believed that
there would be an unprecedented de
mand for flour and bread from other
sections.
A
FAITH I CHICAGO
BAHAISTS T6 ERECT BEAUTI
FUL STRUCTURE AFTER A
RUSSIAN MODEL.
CHICAGO, May 17 With contri
butions received from every corner of
the globe, the Bahaists are planning
tobuild a temple in Willemette. a sub
urb of Chicago, which will cost more
than $500,000. The temple, to be
called "Mashrak-El-Azcar" will be a
mixture of modern and oriental
architecture. It will be modeled
after a similar temple at Eshkabad.
Russia, the plans for which were
drawn by Baha-Ullah, father of the
Abdul Bahel of Galilee, the present
leader of the Bahaists.
The building will have nine walls
and contain 9 fountains. The temple
is to symbolize perfect man and the
perfect world and each fountain is to
typify a world religion, as the Baha
ists insist that through their religion
all others will unified- The Bahaists
now number more than 1,000,000 be
lievers and each has made a contri
bution toward the proposed Chicago
temple. Although the majority of its
members are in the Orient, Chicago
has been selected by the Bahaists as
the mecca and world center of their
religion.

age poultry and eggs went into effect

ranch eggs that have long reposed in

CHICAGO, May 17.-University of
Chicago students at last have an op
portunity to revenge themselves on
unpopular professors.
The faculty must submit to being
questioned and criticised and advised
by their own pupils, according to i
recent university rule just made pub
lic. Under the latest midway dictum th
students are expected to turn in their
candid opinions of the professors who
lecture them, together with sugges
tions for improvement in teaching
methods.
Professor R. A. Millikan of the
psychics department -explained the
new system.
. "We wish to obtain the sincere
views of the students upon questions
relating to their courses," he said.
"The names of the critics will be kept
secret." The opinions which are ex
pected to be vigorous in some in
stances will be considered by a spec
ial faculty committee and it is expect
that the change may be ordered in
several departments.
