Forsver in Jersey.
Georgian court. the Jersey estate of
George j. Gould. Which is coming to be
an attraction of growing prominence in
this popular resort, is making numerous
additions to it's list Of beauties.
Within four years the 400 acres which
it includes have been reclaimed from
wild conditions and made to bloom and
blossom. The Italian gardens, threaded
by blue stone walks are filled with curl
ouSly carved vases and ornaments Of
stone from the far corners of the earth.
The garden of the sun dial, with the old
Eastern center piece which gives it its
name. is full of oversee suggestions with
it's prm borders Of lockwood hedge, whhe
the stables and polo grounds are as elab Il
orately perfect as money can make thesn.T
In the famous Casino the place of rainy
day resort: there are facilities for the en-
joyment of everything in the list of spdrt,
and the luxurious bathing department an
cludes, besides the most modern baths, a.
great swimming pool in vaulted room
of pure white marble.
To complete these diversified improve
ments upon nature has required the con-
slant labor of large gangs Of Workmen,
and Mr.. Gould's advent in Lakewood has
proved an important help in the local Ia
F Dor market.
The latest idea of the railroad magnate
is now being worked out just inside the
lake drive bridge which bounds his
grounds on the south. His scheme is an
h Oriental conception, and comprises what
is to be"called sunken garden with Incl
dental fountains. stairways and prone
nades.
An inlet from the lake affords by dredg-
ing a canal IS feet wide and nearly 200
feet long. and just above the water level
a 20-foot promenade will be laid as q
border of the waterway, ending in the
outward form of crescent.
From this termination stairways will
lead to an esplanate on a higher level
with large fountain, garden seats and
shrubs from which stairways will again
lead to grounds near the house.
Near by a 60-foot circular basin is to
be converted into an electric fountain, the
waters of which will be lighted from be-
meath. All this work is being done in
brick and stone with facings of marble,
and is in full view from the lake drive

Franklin had sent down word that he

After talking over the whole situa-

cARNEaIE's OFFER IN BONDS.
Government Could Not Accept Steel Trust
Securities.
fBy the Associated Press.l


washington, &C. 12.-It transpires tfat
the gift of $10,O00,000, which Andrew
Carnegie rendered to President Roose-
Welt for the founding of great institu-
ton for higher education was not an
offer of $4,000, 900 il cash bat the rar
value of that amount in bonds of the
United States Steel Corporation.
The offer of these bonds is embar rass nil
to the administration, owing to the COM
plication which might arise if the Gov
eminent accepted them, and the Presl-
dent. if is understood is now in CORE
spondence with Mr.. Carnegie abont the
matter. 1t is understood to be his de-
sire that the bonds be converted into
cash. If this is done the only obstacle
to the acceptance of the generous gift OF
Mr.. Carnegie will be removed. Pending
the result of this correspondence Mr..
Carnegie's offer is being withheld from
Congress.
The President has conferred with sew
eral prominent Senator's and Representa-
tives about the matter within the last
day or two, and all concur with him in
the belief that the acceptance by the
Government of bonds in the big steel
corporation might subject the admins
tration to criticism and might prove ex-
ceedingly embarrassing in the future.
1t is pointed out for instance, that in
the event of legal proceedings by the
Department of Justice in connection with
the corporation, the holding of the COM
panys bonds by the Government might
lead to adverse criticism. The sugges-
tion that the Government accept the
bonds and then dispose of them is con-
sidered equally Objectionable.

COMMITTEE FINISHES UP
.TREAsURER's OFFICE TODAY
Everything Found in Good Shape. Postpone
Investigation of Legislatures Cost I'm
til Next December.

The Legislative Examining Committee,
which has been in session for several
days examining the books and accounts
of the State Treasurer will complete the
task today.
1t is known that the accounts OF the
Treasurer were found in excellent shape
and the investigation was very thor
ough one. The committee is fortunate III
having the services pof Senator Allen X.
Smith, who is banker.
When the examination is finally COM
pleted in the Treasurer's office, the COM
mittee will begin work in the office of
tile State Auditor. This will consume two
days.
After comforting with the Secretary OF
State, Mr. J. Bryan Grimes, the com
mittee decided that it would not begin
the examination of the expense of the
last General Assembly and the question
of employees and their pay. Mr.. Grimes
informed the committee that he was cor
responding with officers in other States
of the various Legislatures and to get
information as to the number and pay
of employees. The committee meets here
next December and with this informa-
ton before it, it is thought that it can
act more intelligently.
