Government A TRUSTEE.
Carnegie's Endowment for Eduea-
tional Purposes Is to Benefit All
Who Aspire for knowledge.
NO BUILDINGS WILL Be ERECTED.
The Fund of $4,000, 900 Is to BE so Placed
Under Government Direction That the
Expenses of Deserving Students May BE
Paid In the Line of Original Investiga-
ton at Home or Abroad.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Carrol ID.
Wright, commissioner of the United
States department of labor, has made
the following statement as to Mr.. Car
negie's endowment of a national uni
yersity at Washington: The general
discussion which has been carried on
during the last 25 years in relation to
| the establishment of national uni
versity in Washington has eliminated
in magnificent plan and endowment
by Andrew Carnegie. For a number
of years the university idea held
sway, but about two years ago the
matter was taken up by the Washing
ton Academy of Sciences and this
body, in cooperation with the George
Washington Memorial association,
formulated definite plan which diff
fered radically from the university
plan contemplated in the earlier
years. This resulted last spring, as
was then published, in the organiza-
ton of the Washington Memorial in
stitution.
When Mr.. Carnegie came to consid-
er the question of endowing a nation
al university at Washington, he inves-
tigated the whole subject with his
usual thoroughness and found that
an institution devoted to research
and the training of capable persons
was more in accord with his concep-
tions than the establishment of a uni
,ersity that would be a rival of the al
ready existing universities of the
country. How far he was led to this
conclusion by the work that had been
done by the organizations in WASH
ington is unknown, but his action in
dictates that he had faith in the gen.
eral plan that had been developed and
crystallized in this city. 1t is proba-
bic that the Washington Memorial as
suriiutiiUn wifi suspend IT'S operations
for it is understood that Mr., Car
negie's plan not only embraces all the
proposed activities of the institution
but goes far beyond these.
VIII Not Erect Buildings
Washington, Dec. 10.-The proposed
gift of $1O,OOO,OOO by Mr.. Andrew Car
negie for educational purposes was
discussed at Tuesdays meeting of the
cabinet. 1t is said that the PROPOSE
ton does not involve the establish
ment of university buildings in Wash
iEgton, but rather the placing of a
fund in the hands of government
trustees from which the expenses Of
deserving students may he paid in the
line of original Investigation at home
or abroad

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 10.-The annual
banquet of the Kansas Day club, JAN

a precedent for it was set when the

banquet w. J. Bryan in library hall.
The excuse for lending representative
