Boston, March 27.-In an interview

the recently proposed gift to the board,
which has caused wide discussion, was
unsolicited and spontaneous, originat-

to further the work of the board DR..
Barton said: -, 80
The initial step toward the gift to
the board now under discussion was
taken by John d. Rockefeller, jr., some
two years or more ago when he, un-s
solicited, asked a secretary Of the
American Board to drop into his office
at any time when in New York for a
conference over matters of mutual in
terest. That conference was held, and
the work done BY the American Board
was inquired into most carefully.
Some months later a secretary of
the board spoke upon its work in the
church of Dr.. Amory n. Bradford at
Montclair, Nj. In the audience was
the confidential secretary of John d.
Rockefeller. At the close of the service

each other by DR.. Bradford, and fur

Correspondence of the Ass'd Press.)
Trinidad, March 19.-President Castro
has again refused to resume diplomat.
ic relations with Colombia. and in so
doig has created a situation which
many South American diplomats fear
will lead to war between Colombia and
Venezuela.
Early in February President Reyes
sent Lucas Caballero as minister to
Venezuela, having been advised that
President Castro desired the re-estab
lishment of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two republics. For more than
month after his arrival in Caracas,
Senior Caballero was practically isnor-
ed. He was never officially received,
but finally Lopez Baralt, former minis
ter of foreign affairs, was named to
confer with him.
A sort of protocol was presented I'd
Senior Caballero by Senior Baralt, Ia
which it was stipulated that in consid-
GRAFTON Of the resumption of diplomatic
relations with Venezuela, Colombia
must cede to Venezuela the two border
provinces which the king Of Spain re-
Gently gave Colombia in settlement OF
the controversy between Colombia and
Venezuela. 1t was also stipulated In
the protocol that five political refugees

bia.
President Castro insisted through his
representative, Baralt, that these con
cessions should be made by President
Reyes in settlement of damages Colom-
bia is alleged to have inflicted upon
Venezuela by assisting the Matos revo-
luton, which developed near the CO.
lombian border, and was waged chiefly
with supplies said to be obtained
through Colombia.
Although Colombia is anxious to re-
sumo diplomatic relations with yene-
zuela and have the embargo raised
which Castro placed on commerce along
the eastern boundary of Colombia, Pres
sident Reyes resented the attitude III
Castro and authorized Cabalerro to
Withdraw from Venezuela at once lie he
considered such action advisable. The
Colombian minister and his secretary
left Caracas several days ago and went
to Mactlta, watering place near La
Guaira, where they are now. The Cas-
tro government is said to have, asked
that they remain in Venezuela until
thehrelations between te two republics
can be discussed more fully.

Father Tells story of Boys Departure
with Aunt.

n s4 j
Chicago, March 27-The first appar-
emily adequate explanation Of the mys-
terious disappearance Of the boy, Frank
Ely Rogers, and his aunt. Miss Florence
Ely, four years ago at Evanston, was
made Tonight to a representative Of
the Associated Press by James g. Rog-
ers, father of the boy. Though sim
pie and straightforward the truth 0f
the mystery. according to Mr.. Rogers,
is stranger than the many fancifuI
stories that have been written about
the case, which In Chicago, has ex
cited as much interest as the celebrated
Charlie Ross case In Philadelphia. Res
plying to questions as to the boys re-
turn yesterday Mr.. Rogers tonight
said: y
At the time of the disappearance my
son, Frank, like many boys Of his age,
was fired with a desire to run away
from home and see life for himself.
His aunt, a sufferer from melancholia,
was about to be placed by us in a sam
itarium, a proceeding to Whihch she
strongly objected.
AS a result of these circumstances,
the two left home together and went
to Buffalo. There they separated, Miss
Ely entering a large store, apparently
to do some shopping. and leaving
Frank outside. She had previously
given him a small sum Of money From
that time until now Frank has not
seen Miss Ely, and neither he nor we
know her whereabouts. Frank, follow
ing out his idea Of seeing life, made a
living as best he could and has finally
returned home after many vicissitudes
This is the explanation of the mys-
terry as learned by me from my son,
and is apparently the whole TRUTH"
