Million Dollars Given by Frenchman
to Found School at Chicago Univers-

ity.
chicago. Jam 2.-one million dollars
is the sum offered by Robert Leebaudy a
French m1pltimillionaire. for the es-
establishment of a French industrial
school in connection with the Univer-
sity of Chicago. 1t will be the greatest
institution OF It's kind in the world.
The tender was made to President
Harper yesterday thru M. Lebaudy's
agent, Ennis Ride1, of the French army
DR.. Harper promptly replied 1t was the
very thing the university desired, and
the prelimlnaries were settled without
further ado.
The new school is to be an integral
part of the University of Chicago. and
the necessary buildings, for which M
Lebaudy will furnish the money will be
located on the campus OF that institu-
ton, M. Lebaudy does not expect to
end his interest in and support ct the
proposed school with the gift of 81 900,
COO. He also will establish an endow-
ment fund
The institution takes IN still greater
Importance from the fact that it Will be
actively fostered by the French gov
eminent. The students will consist OF
COO graduates of French colleges. They
will be SELECTED by the government. and
200 will be sent over each year. They
will come on scholarships all expenses
of transportation and living being de-
frayed by France.
AT the conclusion OF his conference
with DR.. Harper Mr.. Ridel left for
Washington to consult Ambassador
Camlbon. He will proceed thence to
France and make his report to the
French Rockefeller. In the spring the
two will come to Chicago to superintend
the details of the building of the school.
The Chicago branch of the Alliance
Franchise will control the workings of
the department. The building or build
ings will be representative of modern
French architecture. They will contain
lecture halls, museums of industry and
libraries, the volumes for which are be-
ing bound under the supervision CT the
French ministry.
The libraray of French literature to
be established in connection with the
school will be the largest of itskindout-
side of France. IN addition to the 0,000
volumes which the French government
will send, the Geographical Society of
Montpelier, France, will contribute q
large number of books.
The purpose of the school, as outlined
heretofore in the press, Is the syste-
matte study Of American industrial and
business methods. The business men OF
Chicago have taken a cordial interest
in the project.

New York, Jan. 2.-Reports to r. G.
Dun & Co. show that failures for the
year 1901 were HOOP in number and
$113, 092, 1916 in amount of Liabilities,
while of banking and other fiduciary in
situations there We're seventy-four IN
~solvencies. involving $1S.01S.74. a total
of 11,076 defaults and $131 ,1l1,150 liablll-
ties. These figures compare very ia
vorably with the 1888 failures in 1900
with liabilities of Sl74, liz, 256, of which
f%lfty-nine were banks for $35,6l1, 56S.
Manufacturing disasters in 1901 num-
bered 2,441, with an Indebtedness OF $44,-
900, 9S6, compared with 2,409 in the pre-
vious year owing SOL, 702, JAP, while there
were 1866 suspensions Of traders for
s52,O 6O,64O, against 1874. in 1900, with la
billties of $59,414 ,592. The defaulted lia-
bilities were 96 cents to each $1,000 OF
bank exchanges. A ratio to the number
of firms in business shows that the en-
tire amount of defaulted Indebtedness
averaged $94.33 for each concern. This
amount with $119.63 in 1900.
while going back to 1893 the average
was $290.65.
In many ways the prosperous condi-
ti0rS In the UniteU States were sIidIeu
across the northern border, for CONNER
cial failures in the dominion of Canada
were fewer in number and smaller In
amount of liabilities than in five OF he
preceding seven years. AS to banking
insolvency. the statement was even
more favorable. no n Of the carrier
years making as good an exhibit. All
commercial defaults numbered 1,341,
with liabilities of $40, 1871, which COM
pares with 1856 in 1900 owing s11,6l3,2 OS.
In manufacturing there were 1S9 failures
for $751; 500, 095, against 3OS in the previous
year, with liabilities of $S,201 ,665.
Trading failures numbered 1,029, with
a total Indebtedness of S. 45, 1923, COM
pared with 1,o1O in the previous year
for 37,252,2 4O.

ures than ever before, totaling 30,T23,OOS

Special Live Stock Letter.

Chicago, Jan. Eve had a run Of 12,-
600 cattle yesterday, and the market
ruled strong and active on all grades,
prices advancing anywhere from 5000
cents per cwt. The extreme top OF the
market was SITS, this figure being paid
for a load OF very prime Shorthorn year
tngs averaging 1,4O0 lbs. However, the
supply Of choice cattle is moderate, the
bulk of the receipts at this time consist
ing of short fed and medium quality
cattle. The outlook is favorable for a
good market on the former class, but we
do not anticipate much, IL any, inn
provement on the latter. Butcher stock
sold generally loo higher yesterday.
Receipts of hogs were $4,000 head and
the market ruled generally 5@1oc lower
than Tuesday. when, with a run of $4,000
head, there was a slump of practically
2o925 per cwt. in prices, leaving values
25@35c per cwt. lower thar Monday. The
top yesterday was s6.65 per cwt.
Receipts of sheep were 10000 and the
market ruled strong and active at about
steady prices. We had the good fortune
to top the market on lambs, wethers and
ewes, selling some of each of those
classes at, respectively, $3.50, s4.S5 and 81
per cwt. Yours truly.

Island depot a few minutes Tuesday.
While waiting for his train he set his
grip down on the platform, and when ne
came to look for it it had disappeared.
The grip is said to have contained the
judges night gown and two Jumps OF
coal. How the coal came to be in the
grip the Judge refused to explain. but
the theory is advanced that between
the night gown and the coal the judge
was figuring on keeping warm.
