ROCKEFELLER TO FOUND
SCIENTIFIC HOSPITAL
Institution for Research to- Be Estab-

CHICAGO, Jan. 2Sz-John D. Rookie
fe!ler is interested in the ultimate es-
tablishment here of a great hospital for
original research. which shall be the
most extensive institution of its kind in
the world. Such a hospital is projected
as a part Of Chicago University.
A report that Mr.. Rockefeller will give
81. 900, 600 to find cure for consumption
exaggerates his purpose in one particu-
lar and narrows it in another. It is un-

but the proposal is to have an institution

Student Calls Fraternity
Houses Gambling Hells."

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 2S-The board
of regents Of the State University held a
meeting last niEht to consider the sub
ject of gambling among professors and
students. It was expected that state
ment would be- issued today. but before
The board was ready 20 act the discovery
was made that gambling vas so preva-
lent in fraternity houses that any at
tempt To stop the practice by forbIdding
the patronizing OF downtown resorts
would be OF little value One student
said to the regents:
Every fraternity house in the city is
worse than a gambling hell The young
men who come from the country are be-
ing deliberately deeced Ey their frater-
nifty brethren"
This statement was sufficient to cause
a renewal Of the investigation. the pur-
pose of which has hitherto been only TO
discover the students who have patron
lied public gambling houses
Before leaving for New Haven today
Arthur Wheeler. the instructor who has
been dismissed from the faculty, wrote
the following statement.
Il do not feel that it is necessary 20
state the facts, as they are generally
known. AS far as the truth of them is
concerned I have no denials 10 make.
although the action of the faculty in
spreading the facts does not appeal =
NE as "A very jUdicious course, as it will
surely react upon the university.
Personally I have no complaint to
make as to the action OF the faculty re-
garding my own case, as such action was
perfectly justified
There is one thing that I wish 20 en-
phasize- however. and that is that as
far as ! know there have been none OF
the students or other university in
structors implicated although there
have been reports TO the contrary.

BODY OF VICE CONSUL
BROUGHT FROM PARIS
Family of Edward PaysOn Mclean
Meets French Liner.

An Impressive scene Of international
courtesy greeted the waiting throng on
the French Line dock. foot of Christie
pher street. New York, yesterday, when
La Champagne. two days late, arrived
from Havre. In mortuary chapel on
the saloon deck lay the casket contain
ing the body Of Edward Payson Mclean.
former vice consul from the United
states to Paris. who died in the French
capital on January Z
Waiting On the dock were his sister,
Mrs. weae eherspoon. and his two broth
ers. Justice Charles Mclean and Com
mander Thomas c. Mclean. of the
United states Navy. When the passen-
gers had Gene ashore they boarded the
ship. where Captain VerIynde met them
at the head Of the gangplank, where he
formally presented to Commander Nc
Lean a handsome United States flag
with which the officers of the ship had
-draped the casket on leaving Havre.
Then the side was manned and the
Cssket carried ashore by detail Of the

FRICTION AROUSED
IN ARMY BUREAUS
Appointment of Capt. Glib
son Disturbs Officers,

The detail yesterday OF Capt. ". y.
Gibson. of the Ordnance Department. %
be recorder of the army board on Crd-
nance and fortihcations has excited
comment in the War Department. and
viii probably arouse much feeling in
the artillery corps.
Capt. Isaac y. Lewis. an officer OF
that corps, until recently acted as re-
corder of the board. which conducts the
trials of the arms and ammunition Of
artillery. That officer was relieved
somewhat arbitrarily and against the
wishes OF General Niles, the president Of
the board. and was succeeded by Capt
Harry Taylor. an engineer officer, who
made periodical trips from Boston. his
station. to attend the meetings OF the
board. Now Captain Taylor has been
relieved and Captain Gibson detailed in
his place.
The incident was predicted by officers
who have felt all along that the board
or ordnance and foTtifcations would
eventually come back under the influence
of the ordnance officers. There has been
more or less jealousy between the Ord
nance Department and the artillery
corps. and the Gibson detail viii further
s755--11;=arate the situation.
Attention was attracted to the incident
today because General Mifes, who is ab-
sent from the country. will return TO
Washington in the next two weeks. and
as president OF The board he viii expect
TO be consulted in the selection % a
recorder. Artillery officers are susDi-
oious enough to see in the incident de-
partmental designs against that arm in
favor of the Ordnance Department.

TO RECTIFY STREETS
OF FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS

At the suggestion Of the Engineer
Commissioner the Board Of Commission
ers will forward to the chairman of the
Senate Committee on Appropriations an
amendment TO the District bill provid-

is proposed TO abandon will be no longer

The Washington times., 1903-01-28

One of the chief topics OF converza-
tion at the District Building today was
the proposed 100000 loan for extra
ordinary improvements There are many
views on the subject. but all agree that
Congress should make the advances nee
essary TO pay for such projects as the
filtration plant. sewage age-disposaI sys-
TEN. municipal building. and street eX-
tensions.
II may be said the District auth0ri-
ties have never expressed decided oDtn-
ions as to the manner in which the ad-
yances should be made. Beyond pre-
senting the needs of the District for
current and extraordinary expenses, and
giving estimates thereon he Commis-
sioners have never sought TO advise Con
gress how it should proceed in the mat
ter That has been left solely to the
/ committees Of Congress
In view Of this position assumed by
the District authorities. they feel some
what indignant that an impression
should 90 abroad to the effect that they
were somehow responsible for the sug-
gested legislation cH The subject.
The Commissioners are especially sen
sitive regarding the impUJation that
they have sought to bring about laws
which should give them large discretion
in the matter OF the proposed eZtTaordi-
nary improvements The fact is, the re-
sponsibility for the form which the $40
$50 900 loan shall take rests upon Con-

Mr. Barton complained against the un-
satisfactory operation of the street cars
on the Brookland branch of the Wash
iugton Traction and Electric Company's
lines. he urged that the Commission.
eTs compel the management to supply

sfoncrs have referred MIR Barton's let

PROPOSED.LOANIS is
WIDELY DISCUSSED
SPECIAL COMMITTEES to Support Project viii Meet
This Afternoon

gTess. The people of the District and its
officials have only asked that money
should he provided, without specifying
now. except that il should be return
able in annual instaIlments extending
over considerable period.
a prominent business man was at the
District Building today, and discussed
with two OF the Commissioners the ques-
ton of the loan. He said the propo-
sition contained in the Babcock bill lack
ed defniteness. He thought the House
District Committee, or a special com
mittee. should 90 into the question OF
these extraordinary improvements.
An inquiry should be made, he thought
as TO what they should be, their cost
and other data relating to them should
be obtained. Then Congress should aD-
prove certain needed improvements
within specified limits of cost. and the
money should be advanced from the
Treasury TO pay for them, il the local
revenues are insufficient.
This man said that an uncertain sched-
ule. calling for a tentative amount Of
money TO be expended at the discretion
of the Commissioners, did not have g
business-Iike appearance. He expressed
the belief that when the subject had re
Ceived a little further discussion The
question. OF the $4,000 GOO would be put
in a shape as definite as the ordinary
appropriation bill.

PEOPLE OF ST. LOUIS
HUSTLERS IN EARNEST
Such Is Report of First As
sistant Postmaster General.

i found the st. Louis people hustIers

as could be found anywhere in the
United States. They have great conf

J. Wynne. First Assistant Postmaster

ternoon from St Louis, where he passed
five days arranging for new nail faciIi-
ties TO accommodate the large increase
