THE OFFER WAS IN BONDS
THE OWNERSHIP OF WHICH
MIGHT PROVE EEMBARRASSING

Washington, Dec. 12.-It tranSpires
that the gift Of $10,000,O0O which An
drew Carnegie rendered to President
Roosevelt for the founding of great
institution for higher education was
not an offer of $1O,0OO,OOO in cash,
but bonds of the par value of that
amount of the United States Steel
corporation. The offer of the bonds
is embarrassing to the administration,
owing to the complications which
might arise if the government own
ed them and the president, it is under
stood, is now in correspondence with
Mr.. Carnegie about the matter.
1t is understood to be his desire
that the bonds be converted into cash.
If this is done, the only obstacle in
the path of the acceptance of the gen
erous gift of Mr. Carnegie will be re-
moved. Pending the result of this
correspondence Mr.. Carnegie's offer
is being withheld from congress.
The president has conferred with
several prominent senators and repre-
sentatives about the mai ar, in the
past day or two, and all c~lcur with
him in the belief that acceptance, by
the government, of the bonds of the
big steel corporation might subject
the administration to criticism and
might prove exceedingly embarrassing
in the future. 1t is pointed out for
instance that in the event of legal
proceedings, by the department of
justice, against the corporation, the
holding of it's bonds by the govern
ment might lead to adverse criticism
The suggestion that the govern
ment accept the bonds and then dis
pose of them for cash is considered
equally Objectionable.

Lost.
Cincinnati, Dec. 12.-By the burn
ing of the store of Lowry & Goebel
today Arthur Goebel lost the papers
relating to the death of his brother,
William Goebel and the trials of ex,
Secretary of State Caleb Powers,
James Howard. Henry Youtsey and
others who have been tried or indict-
ed in Kentucky for the tragedy at
Frankfort almost two years ago. These
papers included afidavits, confessions
and volumes of testimony. While
Arthur Goebel suffered considerable
in the burning of the store he grieved
more over the loss of those papers
than over the loss of his goods. Since
the death of his brother, Arthur Goe-
BILE has given most of his time to Sc
curing evidence for the prosecution in
these cases.

mitted TO it about this time contending
for different construction of the law The
matters involved in these several opin-
ions. Mr.. Duvall says. appear to have been
carefully considered by TIE Attorney. and
his construction of the Excise law was
adopted by the Commissioners while they
constituted the Excise Board, and by the
present Excise Board. consisting of the
Assistant Assessors. Mr. Duvall thinks
that the conclusions reached by him were
entirely reasonable and were fairly de-
ducible from the aforesaid acts of Con-
gressssS
Mr. Duvall then cites the rulings of the
courts which seem to place a similar in
depreciation upon the Jaw and presents
the following statement of ais views upon
the subject:
1T certainly is not clear that the con-
struction uniformly given by the Excise
Board IS erroneous and l am of the opin
ion that the administration OF the law thus
settled should not now be overturned. es-
pecially In view of the further fact that
If another construction should he adopted
and the board. exercising the discretion
with which 1t is clothed should refuse to
issue licenses to hotels and clubs as here
tofore, this Injustice would result, namely
1t would be Impossible for the parties ag-
grieyed to secure judicial determination
of their rights which were supposed to be
settled or to have judicial construction
of the statutes involved whereas for
nearly eight years it has been and is now
within the power Of any one aggrieved by
he issuance of any license to apply 10 the
courts and secure a revocation and can
collation. of the same if the license was
issued by the Excise Board without juris-
diction.
In conclusion. therefore. and for the
reasons hereinbefore given ! am of the
opinion that there should be no action on
the part of the Excise Board involving
a change in the construction of the law
in reference to the 400 feet rule or in
reference to the granting of licenses to
hotels or clubs. ] am also OF the opinion
that a license TO an Incorporated club
can be and should be granted only TO a
bona fide club, and that such license does
not per Sc authorize the sale of liquors
between u O'Clock midnight and o'clock
in the morning but that the Excise Board
may at its discretion grant a permit for
such sale, designating such hours in su h
permit, and without such permit so desig-
mating such hours such sale is not per-
mitted."

The Commissioners have received from
Hon. James Mcmillan Chairman of the
Senate Committee on the District of Co
lumbia, certain letters relative to the use
of hymns in the High School and the ex-
cessive amount of work required of the
pupils at home out of school hours. One
of hte letters is from A. J. Buehler, of $40
+ Street northeast, who calls attention
of the Senator to the introduction OF
hymns in the High School, and he pro-
tests against the departure. He informs
the Senator that such hymns and re-
ligious teaching as are necessary for his
children are learned in Sunday school and
at church He states that in his opinion
the High School is not the place for re-
ligious teaching OF any sort.
Mr. Buehler also calls attention to the
excessive amount OF work forced upon the
High School. demanding from five to six
hours nightly for its completion. He
states that the teachers review this work
the following day. whereas he says II

states that in all probability his children
will be denied the privilege OF attending

fuscl to provide them with hymn books
He asks Senator Mcmillan If he is to I'M

a halt to the rulings of the Board of Edu-
cation.
Mr.. Root states his reasons for refusing
to purchase hymn books as follows:
Il regard the Introduction of religious
services in the public schools as a direct
blow to the right OF an American citizen
