Y., April §.— Professor Jeremiah Whipple Jenks, head of the Department of Political Science and Political Economy at Cornell Univer- sity, vaddressed the students today on the “subject of “Great Foftunes and Their Uses.” “There are two metheds of acquiring wealth,” he said. “People render ser- vice for reward and some get reward for no service. The trouble with the first class is that they too often think of reward and not of the service they are rendering. “It is sald that no man can earn & miilion dollars. I do not think this is so. Is there any way to measure ser- vice and determine its value? An oper- {ation that would prolong the life of | Shakespeare, Lincoln or Washington for ten years—is there any way to deter- mine the value of that service? . Can | wo determine the value of the life of the statesman who saves his country from a ruinous war? . JENKS OF CORN Disposes of Stolen Wealth. EARN MILLION DOLLARS Special Dispatch to The Call OF FIRNCIERS ilanthropy That “If the manager of a factory can make it produce a million dollars a year, while the manager of - another factory of equal value runs it to fafl- ure, it seems to me, as if the first man has earned a million dollars. “Members of the board of directors of corporations who, learning that divi- dends are to be declared, g0 into the stock market expecting to use their knowledge to their own advantage, are like gamblers with loaded dice,” he continued. “Such dealing is scandalous. There i8 no service. It is stealing, ex- cept for the fact that others know of the gambling. : “Men who found universitles, colleges and charitable institutions, seeking to Justify their getting wealth unjustly, should be condemned. “Socialists forget that there is such a thing as human nature. The same dominant personalities that command in the world of private enterprise would dominate the State if the wealth should belong to the State.” ! !

NAGOLD, Littie Black Forest, Germany, { April 5.—The Hotel Zum Hirsch collapsed today duripg the progress of a festive dinner. There were 200 persons present, | most of whom were buried in the ruins. | At 10 o'clock tonight fifty of the dead had been recovered and 100 injured were taken from the ruins, many of them in a serious condition. Twenty persons are still miss- ing and are probably dead. The. accident is attributed to careless- ness on the part of those who were making repairs on the building, which had been raised five feet from the ground in order to give more space for the Jower story. The work began early in the morning and was supposed to have been finished at noon. The keeper of the hotel invited the TO PRESS SUITS AGAINST NEELEY etermined to Recover to Have Been en in Cuba. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. The proceedings against other former .employes of the United States Govern- ment will be pushed gs vigorously as Jones knows how. The action against Neeley will be tried in the United States Circuit Court in this city in May. Jones was originally appointed to this position in May, 1909, and was {inspru- mental in obtaining the extradition of Neeley to Cuba after his flight to this country. Neeley was subsequently tried and convicted and aftéerward released un- der an act of amnesty. Jones was also special counsel for the Government in the vrize cases growing out of the captures by the United States naval forces during the war with Spain. He said today, in speaking of the coming trial: 3 ““The money which Neeley owes the Government must be paid. “Attachments on property bei i) to Neeley, repre- senting $40,000 tgm&m%fl,\ w?l be levied. That the trial will be réplete with inter- esting features there is no doubt.” SEVENTY DIE WHEN HOTEL FALLS.

A runming fight was kept up for six miles, the Zulus continuing the pur- sult until within a mile of Greytown. Three of the Colonial police were killed and several were wounded. The re- mainder’ are safe at Greytown., ~ The police .state that the rebels are in strong. numbers and flushed with victory, and the officlals fear further excesses. A strong force of artillery, infantry and mounted men is: moving out of Greytown today to pperate against the rebels. A laager has Been formed ‘here and every preparation has been made to de- fend Greytown In case of attack. An as- sault on the town, however, is considered unlikely to occur, the Zulus preferring to fight in the rugged country outside. The British fleld force at present only numbers a-few hundred men, and will be strongly reniforced during the next twen- ty-four hours. The body. of Sergeant Brown, who was reported missing, has been recovered and brought here. & X The bulk of the reinforcements sent from Pitermaritzburg and Durban have arrived and will join Mansell's column to- morrow. Operations will begin on Satur- day. It is said that had Bamboata attacked the main body of the Colonials at the out- set, instead of merely interposing his war- riors betweerf it and the vanguard, the column ‘would have suffered disastrously. LONDON, April 6.—A dispatch dated “With Mansell's Column, April 5,” gives the following account of the fighting between Zulus led by Chief Bambata and the Natal colonist expedition which rescubd the women and children 1so- lated at Keates Drift: “Bambata surprifed the column at dusk at Impanza, the natives springing out of the thicket, frantically shouvting their battle cry and attacking the van-- guard with their assegals. “The police behaved with coolness, keep- ing the borde of blacks-at bay and stead- ily continufng the march to Greytown. The fighting did not cease until midnight, when the column reached Botha's farm and safety. The women and children had been placed in the center of the column, and thusswere completely shielded. “The’infuriated natives hacked the bod- fes of three policemen who were killed, but the bodies were rescued. **The white residents of Impanza escaped to Keates Drift at Banibata's first attack, and the looting of the hotel and the im- bibing of Mquor incapacitated the rebels from pursuit.” ACCORD REPORTED NEAR IN HUNGARY Leaders of Coalition Party to Confer With Francis Joseph. BUDAPEST, Hungary, April 5.—As a result of a conference of leaders of the Coalition party held here today under the presidency, of Francis Kossuth, a complete Ind'auundlnx has been reached which may be expected to end the legislative deadlock. Kossuth and Count Andrassy started - tonight for ienna, where they wifl have an audi- nece with Emperor Francis Joseph to- morrow. Premier Fejervary at his interview with Kossuth here yesterday is report- ed to have suggested summoning the lower house of the Hungarian Parlia- ment- to discuss the electorial reform bill and the - subsequent issue i of writs ~for new elections un- der the proposed law 3rm‘1dlng “for universal suffrage. The scheme is said to have been approved by the Emperor-King and a portion of the Coalition party, but it is understood that the followers of Count Andrassy, the former Premier. and the Clerfcal were opposed to the suggestion. Late this evening it was reported that peace in Hungary seems to be assured on the basis of postponing the military de- mands for three years, and that should the negotiations with Kossuth and Count Andrassy be successful a Cabinet, with Count Andrassy as Premier, will be ap- pointed on April 9 and elections will be Parliament to assemble at the end of BRITISH ROUTED [SUICIDE ENDS B THE ZULLS| AN Attacked by the Natives and |Divorced Woman Kills Her- Pursued to Within Onel! self in a Chicago Hotel held immeiiiately. thus enabling the new | da: A Weak “ Heart Seldom gets strong again with- out help.

The woman arrived at the Palmer House early tpday in company with a man about 65 years of age, who registered as Enp Bardeleben of New York. The weman registered as Mrs. Bardeleben. They were assigned to a room, and almost immediately afterward Bardeleben left the hotel. He returned three houts later and found the room locked.

Her parents reside here. Henry Cooper, father of the young woman, was opposed to Bardeleben, and this the fam- | ily believe, resuited in their elopement two weeks ago.
