GAUSES LEADING 70 DEPRESSION Industrial Commission Reviews Agricultural Situation. Conservatism of the Farmers Is Said to Be a Serious Drawback. WASHINGTON, Nov. 12—The Indus- trial Commission to-day made public its review of the evidence taken before the commission on the subjects of agriculture and agricultural labor. Among other sub- jects discussed is that of¥agricultural de- ypression, of which the eommission speaks as follows: The cause most assigned for the depression of agriculture in the Lastern States is the increased production due to the opening of lands in advance of natural demand, especially through the agency of liberal land laws and rants of lana in aid of railroad construction. %’he competition has been rendered especlally severs by the policy of the railroads in mak- ing freight rates relatively lower on long dis- itances. The oid staple products having thus become unprofitable in tne East it has been necessary for farmers to change their methods and vary the character of thelr crops, taking up especially the culture of products whica are not easlly transported long distances. Thus truck farming has largely superseded cereal growing aiong the Atlantic coast, but farmers in the North Atlantic States now complain of the severe competition of States farther south in_this industry, and much the same may be sald of fruit growing. Even so perishable a | commodity as milk is transported much longer distances than formerly since the introduction of refrigerator cars. Another cause which several witnesses assign for the unsatisfactory condition of agriculture in some parts of jthe country is the conserva- tism of the farmers, their lack of quick adjust- ment to changed conditions and lack of effect- ive business planning. The farmers, as a class, have not kept up with the times, but have | raised the same crops year after year without regard to changed conditions. This lack of managing ability among farmers Is especially | emphasizeq with reference to the Southern | States and Is given as an explanation of too exclusive attention to cotton production pre- vailing there. Another cause assigned for ‘agricultural de- | pression in the South is the scarcity of money, | the difficulty of borrowing on real estate se- curlty and the consequent high rates of in- terest. It seems possible, however, to borrow money in the South at somewhat lower rates { of interest than formerly. The decline in the price of cotton is another important element in the depression of agriculture in the South. The inefficiercy of negro labor is assigned as an- other cause. On the other hand it is affirmed that there is too much good and cheap labor | in the South. An abundance of cheap labor is | #aid to be unfavorable to the success of agri- | an acreage and in neslect of personal atten- i tion by the planter. | ~Against the charge that farmers are unduly | conservative is put the counter-charge that | they turn from one crop to another without sufficlent regard to the suitability of the cli- mate and soil or to the considerations of the market.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 12.—Just before the close of an all-afternoon meeting of the board of trustees of the Carnegie Insti- tute to-day, Andrew Carnegie surprised and delighted the members present by the announcement that he had deciderl to increase by $2,000,000 his already large gdonations. Cainegie said he would in- crease his original offer to endow a poly- technical school from $1,000,000 to $2.000,- , provided the city -of Pittsburg donate a site. His original proposition was to furnish money for the erection and equipment of a polytechnical school at whatever cost the board of trustees agreed upon and to start it with an en- dowment of $1,000,000. This endowment h= to-day ralsed to $2,000,000. cause of t! rapid growth of the institufe which co prises the art, music and literary de- partments, Carnegie said he would in- crease its’ endowment from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. The board of trustees adopted plans for the new school and selected a site for the buildings. The buildings will be modeled after the Worcester technical school and the site, comprising eleven acres, lies just west of the Carnegie_ library build- ing_and extending along Forbes avenue to Boquet street. The city has already optioned this property from Mrs. Mary Schneley and it is believed that the erec- tion of the school buildings will begin in a _short time. THREE MASKED ROBBERS ARE FRIGHTENED AWAY Enter a Store in Jackson Gate, but Fail to Get the Gold on Hand. JACKSON, Nov. 12—A bold attempt at robbery was made at 9 o’clock last night in Chichizola’s general merchandise store in Jackson Gate, one mile from Jackson. Two men with heads enveloped In masks entered, revolvers in hand, and command- ed Alfred Haverstick, a cierk, to hold up his hands. Haverstick belleved some one was playing a joke. but the command was repeated in more peremptory terms and the clerk obeyed. C. Cuneo, driver of a delivery wagon, was in the store. Unnoticed by the rob- bers he slipped out the back door. Hear- ing the noise made by him in opening the door afd evidently fearing that an alarm was about to be given, the intruders fled. A third man was posted on the outside while the two were inside. To-day was pay day at the Oneida mine and Chichizola had a large sum of coin on hand with which to cash the checks of the miners. There was $3000 in the safe and $200 in_the till at the time the robbers appeared. Killed During a Windstorm.
