bombarding the Navy Department with
a story of defective boiler tubes be-
ing employed in The armored cruisers
Colorado and Pennsylvania. He wrote
that he had been employed in the De-

By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. S.-Presi-
dent Samuel Plantz of Lawrence Uni
versity today made a statement in
which he corrects assertions recently
appearing in public print with refer
ence to the $4,000 gift to the Lawrence
University from the General Education
board fund founded by John d. Rookie
feller.
President Plantz says Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter has now no connection whatever
with the board and has nothing to say
about the distribution of it's funds.
Continuing, he says that accepting a
contribution from the general board of
education would compromise freedom
of speech in an institution of learning
is gratituous affirmation.
Mr.. Rockefeller has given Yale and
Harvard million each; but their pro-
fessors have spoken freely on economic
questions.
President Hadley of Yale, before Mr..
Rockefeller's gift and since, has been
one of the most outspoken of our econ
omists on railroad rebates professors
in Chicago University have enjoyed
freedom in speaking on economic ques-
tions and on monopolies.
