To a certain line of trenches In

in a veteran regiment at the front.
They were Cockneys, mostly, with a
military knowledge considerably less
than five months old. One of them,
'Arry, was alone in a trench with a
group of seasoned fellows, fresh from
the Indian service and graduates of
the Boer War; 'Arry had brought to
bacco and a pipe with him from Lon

possessions. Suddenly there was a
loud explosion, and the trench was
filled with dust from a part of an ex

One of the regulars came up from
that dust -with Us face ashen.
"Bill's dead!" he gasped. "He was

But Arry's reply was nothing more

With wildly shrieking horn disturb

Stricken ohauSeur bending over the
wheel, the llmoualce of David Pow
ers, millionaire lumber king, tore
through the granite gateway of hla
beautiful realdenoe and dashed madly
along the ahrub bordered driveway
toward the marble porch.
Powers himself—tyrant boss of a
thousand underfed workmen—was
on the steps. Anxiety was betrayed
by every line of his working features.
Perry Travis, his legal adviser, was
with him, and as the maohlne oame

Of fine stone and gravel. Powers was

toward the younger man as If for
support.
He had heard the piercing, clank
ing notes of the horn long before the
machine was in sight. He knew the
temper of his mt.n. He realized that
he had never done one jingle thing
to win them to him. He knew that
his affairs were approaching a crisis.
And he was afraid—afraid with the
pitiful fear which comes over strong
men when they realize that the con
fronting danger is of their own crea
tion.
With trembling limbs the chauffeur
Climbed from his seat and averted
his fear distended eyes, as with un
steady hand he pointed to the broken
Window pane in the door of the hand
some machine. The small ?ound hole,
with its pattern of radiating cracks,
like a serried and shattered mirror,
told Its own story. Nothing but a
bullet could have made a break like
that.
Mastering his own emotion with a
supreme effort. Powers stepped to
ward the machine, and with firm
hand—for his was a will of iron—he
opened the door. From out the lux
urious Interior he lifted the Inert
body of his beautiful daughter and
pressed her to his bosom—a bosom
that was wracked and torn with partly
stifled sobs.
Gently—gently as when she had
been an Infant some twenty years
ago—he carried her Into the house
and tenderly—oh so tenderly he
placed her on a divan. Softly he felt
the cold, pale cheek, and with touch
as caressing as that of a woman's, he
pushed back the beautiful raven
ringlets, and shudderlngly, he gazed
steadily, as if fascinated, at the
orlmson rimmed, but clean cut hole
made by the bullet.
David Powers sank on one knee
beside the cot, and then slowly his
body seemed to shrivel and sag, much
like a half-filled bag of meal, as with
a complete surrender to grief he
threw himself prone upon the floor
and uttered the single word,
"Dead."
Travis stood silently beside the
■trlcken father, unable to think or
move. The young woman who lay
there a victim to the wickedness that
the tyranny of her father bad stirred
In the breasts of his workmen, had
been his fiancee, and his sorrow was
but little less than that of the agon
ised parent.
CHAPTER I.
David Powers was known as the
man who never smiled during busi
ness hours. He was known as the
man whose employes all feared him.
He was known too as one of the most
successful lumbermen in the business
on the Pacific coast and all who
knew him envied him. Stern, dom
ineering, and with a genius for organ
ization, he could get more work out
of less men for smaller wages than
any man in the State of California—
that Is, more than any man except
one. And the man who excelled him
as a driver of men, the man who
could extract one more ounce of labor
for one tithe less of wages was Jake
Snyder, his chief foreman, pugna
cious, hard as nails, flinty-hearted and
entirely without sentiment.
Jake made an ideal driver for so
exacting: a boss as Powers. Watch him
now on this morning several weeks
before the shooting of Laura Powers.
Watch him as he talks among the men
there on the dock and on the boat.
Note the feverish anxiety with which
the men bend to their tasks when he
glowers In their direction. Listen to
the harsh, strident note In his voice
as he urges them to fresh efforts —
efforts that strain their under-nour
ished bodies almost to the breaking
point. Note too, the covert, threaten
ing looks that are cast In his direc
tion when he turns his back. Listen
to the murmurs of hate that rise al
most to the violence of a threat when
he Is out of hearing—listen and make
up your mind that a storm Is brewing
—a storm that when it does break will
overwhelm Powers and Jake and all
their hated class.
Powers had ju®t driven up to his
office In his high powered six and had
gent for Jake. A clerk found the
foreman at his favorite occupation—
that of browbeating the laborers un
der him—and it is no exaggeration to
say that he hated to leave this glor
ious pastime, for even so delightful a
diversion as a consultation with his
taciturn and Iron-Jawed employer.
Heeding the summons, however, he
•ntered Powers' office with a swagger,
and it is a matter worthy of comment
to those of us who are studying the
oharacters in this rather sordid story
that he showed none of the fear that
most of Powers' other employes ex
hibited when in his presence.
The millionaire was looking over
the market column of the morning
paper when his foreman entered and
he never lifted his eyes from the ab
sorbing sheet until the fleld com
mander had drawn his chair up close
to his employer's desk.
There was no word of greeting be
tween the men.
Pointing a pudgy finger first at the
newspaper and then at the nose of
his foreman, the millionaire spoke
tersely and harshly:
"Lumber's high in the Bast. Jake.
Drive your men to the limit and get
that shipment east while prices hold
up."

HAHRISBURG TELEGRAPH
PRISONERS TORTURED
BY YA| INDUS
Employ Modes of Punishment as
SkiOful as Those of Ancient
Chinese; Brutal Fighters
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
Nogaies Ariz.—Although the Yaqui
Indians of aonora are said to have de
clared war on the United States—at
least so far as American settlers In
their region are concerned—and United
States warships have been dispatched
to cope with the situation—informa
tion as to the process by which this
declaration of war was made is still
lacking. It Is known that the tribe re
tains a political organization. What
appears to be an almost mythical su
preme chief reigns in the hills above
their valley and is said to direct the ac
tions of the minor chiefs who have
taken groups of the tribe into the Mexi
can warfare.
The Associated Press correspondent,
during a recent trip to the west coast
with Carranza learned this and a num
ber of other interesting things concern
ing the Taquls, about whom little true
material has hitherto been published.
Although they have been m almost
constant warfare since the organization
of the Mexican nation, the Yaquis never
have been fully conquered or won over
to European civilization. But their
struggle against the advance of civilza
tion did not assume threatening pro
portions until the recent revolutionary
activities gave them modern war
munitions and military training. Pre
viously this most warlike Mexican In
dian had confined hjmself to guerilla
ftghtin. The arming of the Yaquis to
take part in Mexico's domestic quarrel
made possible their more extensive
military movements, threatening not
only the American colonists in the
Yaqul yalley about Guaymas, but the
sovereignty of the Mexican race along
that rich portion of the west coast.
Stronghold In Hills
The Yaqui region lies a few miles In
land from the important California gulf
port city of Guaymas. The Indians,
years ago, lost most of their rich agri
cultural lands in the valley. Their
strongholds are in the hill country,
from which strong positions they make
frequent raids on the Mexican settlers
in the valley below. It only has been
recently that their assaul.ts were direct
ed against the American settlers in tht
valley, who had given the Indians pro
fitable employment as laborers.
The Yaqui was not considered an es
pecially dangerous neighbor until the
advent of the Constitutionalist revolu
tion. With the separation of the Car
ranza and Villa factions a struggle be
gan between those two parties in Son
era State. The Indians already had
been armed and enlisted as troops in
the Constitutionalist army, doing the
bulk of the desperate fighting in the
contests for the towns along the Ari-
Zona-Sonora border. These Indians
were considered "pacifico," or peaceful
Yaquis. But on opportune occasions
they demanded the return of their tri
bal lands, and only would remain in the
revolution service after securing prom
ises from the factional leaders. Kor
more than a year, however, it has he
come evident that the supposedly
friendly Yaqui was working in con
junction with his wilder brother who
had remained in the hills. Arms and
ammunition in large quantities given
to the Indians enlisted in the Constitu
tionalist army were smuggled on the
backs of Yaqui runners into the moun
tain passes and there were hidden. The
enlisted Indians would return after an
insignificant skirmish and demand
more ammunition. Their Mexican offi
cers did not dare to refuse it.
Guilty of Cruelty
The situation became more serious
when Jose Maria Maytorena, the Villa
governor of the State, brought the
Yaqui troops into northern Sonora.
Previously they had been used only
against Huerta's federal troops about
Quaymas. Maytorena's Yaquis took
part in the attacks on the Carranza
garrisons at Nogales.Naco and Cananea.
In former years under the Diaz admin
istration these Indians had been driven
Into southern Sonora by continued
fiehtlng along the Arizona border in
which they met the federal "rurales,"
Mexico's rural police which was con
sidered the most efficient fightin arm of
the former dictator. The forceful ex
iling into southern Mexico of large
numbers of Yaqui men had failed to
break the warlike spirit of the race.
The racial characteristics of the Ya
qui of Mexico are similar to those of
the Apache, who caused continued war
fare in the early development of the
•southwestern United States. The Va
qui is credited with direct relation
ship to the Apache. Like his northern
cousin the Yaqui has been guiltv of all
manner of brutality directed against his
prisoners, and is known to have em
ployed modes of torture as skillful as
those of the ancient Chinese. This has
caused a fear of the Yaqui which was
not dueVntlrely to his military ability.
The Yaqui was the first Mexican tribe
to become fullv armed with rifles, and
to become skillful in their use. Other
tribes along the west coast still em
ploy the bow and arrow for hunting
and in some cases In fighting anv alien
invaders.

BUILDING OF PIS
SUBWAYS PROCEEDS
Whole City Is Torn Up; French
Expect Big Building Boom
After War
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press.)
Paris.—Paris is not likely, even in
war time, to lose its reputation of being
the most continually uptorn town in
Europe.- The construction of Its net
work of subways and \he incidental re
arrangement of sewers anCd other under
ground work is still going on, simul
taneously with repaving and house
building. It has taken three years to
tear down the old Theater des Nou
veautes and reconstruct on its site two
new buildings and the new street, the
Rue des Italians. Meantime the Boule
vard des Italians has been more or less
obstnuctedat that point and the outlook
spoiled by an immense pallisade used
as a billboard. It is now announced
that the buildings are linished, the bill
boards are coming down and an im
mense moving picture show is to open
on .the spot where the Nouveautes
stood.
All the projected subway lines will
be finished soon, throwing thousands
of laborers out of employment, and
other building enterprises will suffer
until finances are rearranged. But
there will be no lack of work after the
war, in the opinion of city officials.
The formidable task of leveling the old
fortifications has been held in sus
pense, partly to absorb the labor that
would be released from the subway
work. This project alone will be suffi
cient to give work to.all the "terras
siers" (men who work with pick and
shovel) for years to come.
With the disappearance of the for
tillcatlons and the opening of new
boulevards skirting the parks tor be
laid out on the site of the military
zcne, a great building boom is antici
pated that will keep all the building
trades busy for years.
Progress in College Education
Reported by Government
There were 216,493 students in col
leges, universities and technological
schools in 1914, according to the an
r.i'al report of the Commissioner of
Education, just issued. This is an in
crease of 14,2 62 over 1913. The bu
reau's list for 1914 includes 66 7 insti
ti tions, a decrease of 29 over the pre
ceding year. States or municipalities
control 93 of the colleges: private cor
porations control 474. Men still out
number women in higher education;
there were 139,373 men in 1914 and
77,120 women, as compared with
128,644 men and 73,587 women in
1913. Despite rising standards of ad
mission and graduation, college en
rollment has more than tripled since
IS9O.
Receipts during the year totaled
$120,579,257, of which $18,422,856 was
for endowment. Benefactions to col
leges and universities totaled $26,-
670,017. something over $2,000,000
more than In the year previous. Six
Institutions received benefactions in
excess of a million dollars apiece, and
45 universities, colleges and techno
logical schools reported gifts amount
ing to more than SIOO,OOO. In the past
seven years the largest increase in in
' come has come through state and mu
nicipal appropriations, and the small-

est from tuition and other fees. State
and municipal appropriations grew
from $9,649,549 in 1908 to $23,400,540
in 1914, while fees for tuition and
other educational services increased
from $15,390,847 to $22,504.f29.
The dominant note of the year in
higher education, according to the re
port, was concentration, both in inter
nal organization and in relation to
State authority. The movement in the
direction of authoritative classification
gained momentum during the year,
chiefly through the activities of several
voluntary associations. The junior col
lege movement has reached the point
where several States—notably Wiscon
sin, Missouri. Virginia and Ihado—
have gone on record as definitely rec
ognizing junior colleges in the' edu
cational system of the State. The
Municipal University of Akron, Ohio,
was added to the list of city universi
ties and the new Association of Urban
Universities, established in the Fall of
3 914, lends emphasis to this municipal
university development.
Degrees conferred by colleges and
universities included "26,533 bacca
laureate, 5,248 graduate and 749 hon
orary. The degree of doctor of phi
losophy was conferred as the result of
examination by 46 institutions on 446
men and 73 women.
