ACCEPTED.
John D. Rockefeller to
Part With 100000.
Committee Expresses Verdict
That Gift Is BenevoIence.
The Objections OF the CONGREGATIONS
Clergy Are Answered.

Boston. April ia statement w.s
made public today by the Prudential
Committee of American board of COM
missloners for foreign missions which
yesterday voted to accep1 800, 900 offer
ed the board for mission work nv Iobn
ID. Rockefeller. Two weeks ago rhe.
Pfunentlai Committee adopted the re-
port of the subcommittee acceptinr
me money but in consideration of n
strong protest made by the Congreya-
tlohal clergy :inal action was deferred
uhtil yesterday when supplementary
'tport was made by the sub-commit-
zee 1his report, together with that two
weeks ago was adopted
Inc supplementary report. which was
made public today takes up the objei.-
IONS of the protestants and asserts that
they are not sufficient to prevent the
board from accepting the money.
one OF the principal points raised in
their report is the claim of the commit
tee that the American hoard cannot
now legally return MI Eockefeller's
money because the decisions OF tn.
highest court are to the effect that
trustees who have once accepted a gift
and assumed certain obligations have
no power to return the gift and to alb
solve themselves from those obligations.
The committee holds that by returning
the gift as suggested by the protesting
clergymen the American board would
be responsible not only to those for
whose benefit the gift was designed but
also from the side of the officers sue
cessors.
This statement of the committee re-
fcrS to the fact that thu board already
has used One-half of Mr.. Rockefeller's
gift which was actually accepted on
Feb. IA. The committee holds that the
action proposed by the professionals.
namely the return of the gift would
have been wrong for it would have been
Ito express disapprobariOn and con-
domination of a man when he was do
ing an act of benevolcnce." The COM
mittee says this would have been TO
confuse the issue and to act contrary
to the Christian spirit. To prevent any
man from doing good is wrong way
in which to condemn him for doing evil.
1t is as wrong to condemn him when
he is doing a good deed as to condemn
him when he is doing 4 had deed" The
committee contends that the board is
not organized to decide questions of
temp, rance, economies or socialism. An
attempt at this would be an assumption
of authority outside of its charter.
The committee points; out that it mas
no right by returning the gift to set up
a new ethical standard with regard .
missionary giving against majority
of its corporate members which has
been overwhelmingly in favor of the
ion of the 1lOnhV
1t is held that the return of the mon
ey would be the passing of judgment
upon the character of tn" donor ana
the business he is said to have used
and this would be a wrong to the
church Of which he is 4 member. The
committee says an accusation against
him could not in Christian courtesy. be
acted upon if the ease nan first been
tried by the church which endorses MIN
as n member in good md regular stand
ing.

ALL ACCOUNTED FOR.
Russian Baltic FIsst Definitely known
and Located.

London. April 12.-3.30 P. M.-The
Associated Press is able to confirm abb
solutely the statement that the Rus
sian battleships passed Singapore 60
ing eastward April 5. so that all OF Vice
Adj Rojestvensky's squadron are nc
counted for. This definite news about
the battleships was sent to Singapore
by wireless telegraph from the China
sea. 1t is presumed here that the bat
tleships passed further out to sea than
the rest of the squadron hence the d.
vergent reports regarding the number
of ships.
