M OIL MILLIONS
JUVENILE WORKERS REFUSE ROCK,
EFELLER OFFER OF s5,ooo,ooo.
Judge Lindsey of Denver, to Whom Prop
osition Was Made, Himself Makes
Decision on Tainted Money.

DENVER, Colo, June 26.-The cry
of tainted money has been raised by the
friends of the children. John d. Rookie
feller's offer of 100000 to start the
work of a national juvenile Improvement
association on lines suggested by Judge
Lindsey of the juvenile court OF Den
yer has been rejected.
Judge Lindsey himself, to whom Mr..
Rockefeller voluntarily made the offer
the time the oil magnate was in hid
from deputy sheriffs seeking to sub
oena him as a witness, made the de-
IN. He has pledged his word to
SIS Jane Adams of the Hull house,
ago, when she approached him in
naf of other charitable workers, that
he would not accept a penny of Mr..
Rockefellers money. The work is to
go forward, but the money is not in
sight. If Mr.. Rockefeller's proposal had
not been turned down, unlimited mil
lions would have backed the project.
The offer of Mr.. Rockefeller was made
70 Judge Lindsey last January. He
went to New York. The question of
tainted money was discussed quietly by
the leaders i'll the work in the different
cities after Judge Lindsey had pro-
pounded the plans and explained Mr..
ROckefeller's offer. The sequel came at
INC L hlldUelpLld meeting, which duuSe
Lindsay was unable to attend On mo-
ton of Judge Mack of Chicago the
whole question was laid on the table.
Judge Lindsey was almost heart
broken, as he knew nothing of the
reasons that were back of this move.
He corresponded with Judge Mack, and
it was agreed that the matter should be
revived and that a convention of jul
venilc workers should be held. Judge
Mack himself issued the call for meet
ing to be held in the Hull house
The week before this meeting Judge
Lindsey and Miss Adams were both at
st. Paul attending the national council
Of. Women's clubs. 1t was there that
ge Lindsey gave his pledge not to
pit the Rockefeller donation.
lPON, Wis, June 26.-An attack has
"A made on RipOn college, Princeton,
Yale and Lafayette by the Baptist Stand
ard, the official New York publication of
the Baptist church. charging these four
institutions with grating in securing
money from Andrew Carnegie. The
charge is entirely refuted by Ripon col
lege authorities.
The charge is that Ripon, with the
other three universities, secured money
f0m Carnegie under the plea that it was
not denominational school. The Bap-
fist Standard, however, declares that
Rlpon is an official Congregational insti-
tuition. The editorial was brought out
by the announcement that two Ripon col
lege professors had been awarded Car
negie fund pensions.
The refutation is in the records of the
institution, which show that in 1866 the
college was formally released from eccle-
sastical control. DR.. Hughes, president
of RipOn said that the singing out of
Ripon by the Baptist publication was a
mistake, though it has always been rec
ognized as a Christian college, and with
a large proportion of Congregational stu
dents.
