HAMBURG, July s.-The great

The fire department finally succeeded

1t is two years since the movement

He. his friend. Jacob Riis, and others
became interested in the project owing
to an appeal by Miss Laura Wilmington
in the Outlook just before her death
from cancer. When the plans were
completed Rockefeller. said he would
give $125,000 if a similar sum should
be subscribed before May 80, 1906. This
date was extended to June 80, but on
Saturday $4,000 was tsill lacking
A friend told Mr.. Allen, general agent
of the society, that in case the sum
needed was not made up when the time
of Rockefeller's offer expired he him
self would make 1t good. The sum
raised on Saturday reduced the amount
to S19,s5o, and Mr.. Allen received
check for that amount.
Last night Mr.. Allen said that this
hospital would be the first permanent
institution Ia America for the treat
ment of children crippled by non-pul-
monary tuberculosis. The hospital will
accommodate 800 children.
