ROCKEFELLER GIVES MILLIONS
GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD

New York. Feb. e-Thirty-tvo mil
lion dollars worth OF income bearing
aacuoritios was the gift which John d.
Rockefeller through his son, John d.
Rockefeller Jr. announced To the Gen.
cral Educational Board when it assem-.
blcd for special meeting in this city
late this afternoon.
For general educational purposes
throughout the country is given as the
purpose of the donation, the largest
single prize over handed out for such
purposes.
Mr. Rockefeller previously had Civ.
en- the board $llOOo,OOO for the same
work. His contributions now amount
to $i3.OOO,OOO. The General Education
Board apparently was not prepared
for this gift which was announced
simply in the following letter;
New York, Feb. General Educa.
tion Board, New York. Gentlemen
My father authorizes me to say that
ON or before April !. 1907. he will give

uent endowment of the board. two
thirds to be applied to such specific
objects within the corporate purposes
OF the board as either he or / may
from time to time direct, any remain

death Of iether to be added also to
the permanent endowment of the
board. Very truly,
JOHN d. ROCKEFELLER JR.
Most of the members Of the board
We're surprised at the announcement
and amazed at the size of thc gift
DR. Buttcrick. the secretary said hr
did not know the rifD was TO De made
until ne received the letter other
members did not know of the donation
until the letter was read.
John d. Rockefeller Jr remained
throughout the session of the board
Asked if he had anything to add to
his letter, he replied that he did not
believe he could add anything to it, as
the letter explained itself.
Members of the board when asked |
what the Specific purposes" referred |
to in Mr.. Rockefoller's letter meant, |
said that It was in the line Of educa-
tional work and was intended in their
opinion to give Mr. Rockefeller the |
right to direct the disposition Of the |
fund to such institutions within the |
province of the board as he may deem .
proper The elder Mr.. Rockefeller is |
not a member Of the board, but his
son is a member and his active direc-
tion doubtless was caused by him.
The board directed a reply to the
letter as follows:

MAY MAKE ANOTHER FORTUNE.
W. A. Hall, Who Established Casein
Business, Is Perfecting a Process for
colorIng Certain Kinds of Wood.

William A. Hall, who in past years
made so many discoveries of ways in
which the waste constituent parts of milk
could be utilized, and built up here and
elsewhere the Casein Company of Amer
lea is investigating another problem in
which the present indications are that he
may make as much of an addition to his
fortune as he did in the casein business.
He is now managing the Publishers Paper
company, OF which he is the principal
owner, and has large mills at Portsmouth,
y. II. This is one Of the competitors or
the International Paper company, Of
which he was manager and part owner
here.
His new field of research is in the
chemical and electrical treatment of GER
tain kinds of wood, principally beech and
birch by q combination of processes by
which these comparatively cheap va
reties of wood are colored through in
such manner as to resemble very close
" mahogany and other more valuable
woods, making them available for expen-
sive furniture and interior finishings.
He has a corps of chemists at work in
New York and in Portsmouth, as well as
electricians, and reports of his success
are very encouraging. Some sample
blocks of wood thus treated which have
been sent to friends in Vermont are GER
tainly Of beautiful finish and the colors
extend through the whole of the differ
ent blocks making the imitation hard to
discern.
Mr.. Halls many friends in Bellows
Falls will wish him as successful a result
Of his new venture as he had with his old
and the hope that when the processes are
perfected he may be induced to locate
his work in Bellows Falls. The casein
business caused a large boom here dur
ing its stay and was the means OF the
circulation here of hundreds of thousands
Of dollars among workmen. The bust
ness itself is prosperous and gaining
ground each year. although the local
plant was shut down three years ago and
the business transferred elsewhere. The
company now has IA different plants in
other sections of the country, with a
capitalization of a number of millions.

What may be regarded as an inside
view of politics in Russia is suggested by
a writer in the current Harper's Weekly.
The next Russian national assembly, 1t
is announced, will convene on March s.,
although just when the elections will
take place is not yet known. That, in
addition to wedding out the electoral
list and to the exercise of intimidation,
the Stolypin cabinet intends to employ
the instruments of seduction, is evident
from the fact that, though the last cleo
ton cost the government only 100000 all
told, the allotment for expenses made
some weeks ago was $25OOOO. and the cabi-
net has since assigned S5,000,000 to the
ministry of the interior for use in the
coming campaign. I'm a word the pre-
mier is resolved to secure by one means
or another, a government majority in
the next Duma, and we repeat that If he
can gain the support of the peasants, he
may do so. 1t will be recalled that, al
though universal suffrage obtained in
France under the Second Empire, the
ministers of Napoleon Ill. having the
peasantry at their back, had but little
difficulty in obtaining large majorities in
the electoral body"
