GIFT OF STEEL BONDS
MIR. CARNEGIE,s PROPOSITION Is
RATHER EMBARRASSING
President Roosevelt Wants the Gift
to Be in Form of Ready Money,
and Is Negotiating to
That End.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-It transpires
that the gift of $10,00O,000 which Andrew
Carnegie rendered to President Roose-
welt for the founding of a great insti-
tuition for higher education was not an
offer of $10,000,000 in cash, but the par
value of that amount in bonds of the
United States Steel corporation. The
offer of these bonds is embarrassing to
the administration owing to the compli-
cations which might arise if the govern
ment accepted them.
The president, it is understood 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 OBJ
stacle in the path of the acceptance of
the generous gift of Mr.. Carnegie will
be removed. Pending the result of this
correspondence, Mr.. Carnegie's offeris be-
ing withheld from congress. The president
has conferred with several prominent
senators and representatives about the
matter within the past day or two and
all concur with him in the belief that ac-
ceptance by the government of the bonds
of the big steel corporation might SUBJ
ject 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 cor
poration, the holding of the company's
bonds by the government might lead to
adverse criticism. The suggestion that
the government accept the bonds and
then dispose of them is considered equal
ly Objectionable.

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE
GOT HIS MONEY
URGED STEVENSON TO WED
night Meeting in Which the
Englishman Did Not
Profit,
URGED STEVENSON TO WEI

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-"Doctor'' John
Alexander Dowie, head of the Christian
Catholic church, was the center of attrac-
ton in Judge Tuley's court today, where
the continuation of the suit for receiver
ship for his Zion lace industries was be-
ing heard. Dowie was accompanied by a
considerable body guard and made known
his intention of going on the stand dur
ing the suit The testimony offered today
by Samuel Stevenson, Dowie's brother
1n-law, was largely on the subject of his
courtship with Dowde's sister. Stevenson
said that Dowie inquired into his affairs
of the heart and induced him to lay suit
for his sisters hand. He also testified
that he had not desired to come to
America to embark in a new business
venture, but that Dowie prevailed upon
him by glowing descriptions of the wealth
to be amassed in the lace industries. AT
last, Stevenson said, he was induced by
much praying and laying on of hands
to invest his capital.
Stevenson told many interesting things
about a certain midnight meeting with
Dowie. Stevenson, long after this meet
ing took place, was confronted by a
signed contract In relation to what he
should receive for his interests in the
lace making industry, and he now declares
the existence of the paper was absolutely
unknown to him. He objects to it's pro-
visions, as they are all favorable to the
defendant.
Stevenson told about an exchange of
checks at that meeting. 1t apears that
Stevenson's wife, Dowie's sister, now
deceased, was present, and also Samuel
w. Packard, Dowie's lawyer. According
to Stevenson's evidence the general over
seer handed to Stevenson check for s5O-
600, which Stevenson gave to his wife,
who at once turned 1t over to Dowie.
Stevenson declares that while this gen.
eral transfer of the check was in prog
ress Dowie said suggestively that he
(Dowie) was the banker.
Witness trusted the defendant implicitly
at this time. He said Dowie affectionateIv
called him brother" and he freely sign
ed all the papers handed to him. Many
letters were read showing how Steven
son gradually came under Dowie's in
fuence

of Fight and Hope.

8 LONDON, Dec. 12-Lord Kitchener had
not to wait lo1g for some result from his
new plan of operations against Gen.
Botha by constructing a line of block
houses between Greylingstadt, on the
Natal-Johannesburg railway and Brug
spruit, on the Delagoa bay line. lie has
Gen. Botha's force incloSed in an area
of 10000 square miles, with, roughly
speaking, a hundred miles of protected
railway forming the north SIDE hundred
miles of block houses the west side, a
hundred miles of railway the south side
and the Swaziland border the east SIDE.
Over. this restricted country the British
columns are now moving, and Lord
Kitchener is enabled to report the capture
of practically the whole Bethel COM
mando. AS in the case of the capture Of
the lager at Oshoek last week, Gen.
Hamilton surprised the commando after
a night march. Lord Kitchener sent the
news from Standerton, where he pre-
sumably went to direct the operations.
The war office issued a statement to-
night dealing with the Boer treatment of
Col. BensOns wounded at Brakenlaagte,
which is a result of special investiga-
ton of the matter instituted by Lord
Kitchener.
The statement sets forth that eighteen
officers and men of Col Benson's COM
Uudl1Q were hluuly ana even cdI61Qlly
treated by the Beers, while the other
seventy-five men who were examined tes-
titled that they witnessed and suffered
atrocities worse than those which FOL
lowed the Vlal1fontein disaster. These
latter said that unarmed and wounded
men lying around the guns were killed
at close range and that the survivors of
the engagement suffered torture, being
robbed and stripped of their clothing in
spite of their wounds and broken limbs.
Beers Still Full of Fight.
PRETORIA, Dec. 12.-The Boer force
which concentrated under Dewet in the
Orange river colony and was lowering
around the line of block houses between
Kroonstad and Lindley, has been broken
up by Broadwood and Byng. Gen. De.
wet, former President Steyn and about
100 men had previously withdrawn south.
The Beers keeping the field number
from 5000 to 10000 and they are mostly
in as good condition as the British for
fighting purposes. The enemy must be
numbered as 10000 exceedingly mobile
troops. The Beers still claim that
European Intervention is imminent, that
Great Britain is tired of the war and
that they have only to hold out long
enough in order to make the British so
weary that they will surrender The
burghers are fighting to win and are
convinced that they will win.

JEWISH AWAKENING
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IS TO BE
REORGANIzED ON BROADER
LINES
scHEcHTER FOR PRESIDENT
Will Come From England to Take
Charge of the Institution in New
York-Dr. Cyrus Adler
: Also Secured.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-The reerganiza-
ton of the Jewish Theological seminary
upon broader lines, with DR.. S. Schechter,
reader in rabbinac at the Univers-,y Of
Cambridge and professor at the Uni-
versity of London, as president of the
faculty, and DR.. Cyrus Adler, of the
Smithsonian institute, as chairman OF the
board~of trustees, will be announced Ill
tomorrows issue of the American
Hebrew. This plan has been made pos
sible by donations of 100000 in cash and
the promise of further assistance OF the
money already raised Jacob H. Schiff
gave 100000 and Len1uel Guggenheim and
Leonard Lewisohn $4,000 each. The
formal announcement will say in part:
1.-The donors made it prime condition
that Dr. Schechter should accept the
presidency of the faculty of the seminary
and we are happy to be able to announce
that a definite acceptance from DR..
Schechter has been received and that he
will arrive in this country during the
coming spring. in April or May, and will
assume charge of the work at the be-
ginning of the fall term
cit is further understood that DR.. Cyrus
Adler shall be president of the new board
of trustees and he, whilst not giving up
his residence in Washington expects to
spend a portion of each week in New
York and personally take charge of the
executive mana cement of the seminary.
To Awaken Jewish Spirit.
1.-THE Importance of the step cannot be
overestimated. 1t will probably result in
an awakening of the Jewish spirit and in
planting anew Jewish scholarship on this
soil, for DR.. Schechters position in the
sphere of Jewish letters is universally
conceded. His researches into Jewish lit
erature, his finds in the East, his vast
scholastic knowledge, his pedagogic quail
ifcations. his possession of various tai
ents distinguishing a ripe and profound
scholar all these mark him out as an
influence for good.
I'VE are further able to announce that
other tenders of support have been made
to the seminary in view of the proposed
reorganization. One of these is that by
Mr. Schiff to erect a suitable building for
a seminary in the neighborhood of Co
lumbia university. 1t can be confidently
stated in addition that should
proper fire-proof building be erected, the
most important Hebrew library in the
United States will ultimately come into
the possession of the seminary. In
other quarters there is a revival of inter-
est in this organization, which leads to
the expectation that it may before long
take its place among the great Jewish
institutions of learning
