majestcally past and out. He had spent
more than half an hour telling Cardinal
Gibbons about John l.. Sullivan. and the
cardinal was interested, too.
How old are you, Mr.. Sullivan" asked
the cardinal.

Not Over $500, oOo, oOO,, Says His Of
fetal Mouthpiece,

NEW YORK, February 22-The magni-
tude of John d. Rockefeller's fortune
was developed in an inquiry here yesterday.
In reply to a question Frederick T. Gates,
Mr.. Rockefeller's business representative,
said:
There have been a great many amusing
msstatements on this subject Several
years ago Senator Hoar, in the Senate
credited Mr.. Rockefeller with a fortune of
$1,000, 600, 100000. Quite recently a state
ment has been made and published widely
throughout the country. that his annual in
come exceeds 500, 100000
NOW, the facts are that Mr. Rockefeller
has at various times himself authorized a
statement that his fortune cannot exceed
$3.50. 100000 to $500, OOOO 600. Furthermore,
his income. instead of being $100 900 COO or
anything like 1t. cannot, In his most pros
porous year, have exceeded $15,OOO,OOO to
1000, coo.
1.-The public generally il under the impress
sion that he owns majority of the Stand

feller's holdings of Standard Oil stock are
about 20 per cent"

REsENTs scHURMAN's REMARKS
John Temple Graves Says South
Doesn't Need Rockefeller's Millions.

John Temple Graves Says South
Doesn't Need Rockefeller's Millions.
HfLANfA, February 22-President Jacob
g. schurman of Cornell University was at
tackled in an editorial BY John Temple
Graves yesterday afternoon, because of
Schurmans statement that "if the $50, co.,
coo just given by Rockefeller to education.
goes for the civilization Of the south it Is
far from tainted" "a -. ...; .
Commenting ON this statement, Graves
says:
"The civilization Of the south, indeed .
Such sentiment, even from a college
president, argues an obtuseness Of observa:
ton and narrowness Of prejudice which
him for the occupancy OF a country school.
This gracious. gentle, charming, wise
and accomplished south, please God, is to
be civilized, according to Jacob Schurman
by the tainted money of Rockefeller Why
there are circles of society in the south to
which neither the manners nor the culture
Of Jacob Schurman would admit him upon
terms of social equality, and yet, through
prejudices, he presumes to speak of the
millions of bloated Croesus as being set
to the civilization Of land like this. .-
Sometimes the insolent ignorance Of
these arrogant and ill-mannered accidents
in and out of the northern educational
circles make us angry, but In this instance
they move US to mirth and laughter.
20 one who is much acquainted with the
personality and uncourteouS and the un-
cultured manners Of Jacob Schurman, his
aflusion to the south assumes the absurdity
of comic opera or theatrical burlesque.''

MUST STAY IN ARMY,
Judge Refused to Release Enlisted
Man Because Of Being Under Are.

NEW YORK, February 22-Harris Coop
er, eighteen years old, was produced in the
United States circuit court yesterday on a
writ OF habeas corpus got out by his par
ents. who want to have him released from
the army. He was in charge Of the receiv-
Ing officer at Fort -Slocum.. Judge Hough
wanted ta-know at first why he could not

shall deny this motion. The government
should not be put to the expense of fixing
up these young men and making them At

plea that they are under age"
Cooper swore at the time Of enlistment
that he was twenty-three years old, al
though he was In reality only eighteen. His
lawyer said that his parents, who were in
court. were each over seventy years Of age
and depended for their support on the en-
bryo cavalryman. Judge Hough decided,
however, that a taste of army service
might improve his memory and veracity.

sary strength were added to the Constitu.
ton by regular amendment the people car
be trusted to curb any excess OF power
that the national government may attempt
to take into its hands. T.
First for the Negative.
J. Addison Knox Lusk of the class of
1905 was the first speaker in the mega
tive. He said he was 1oath to refer to the
CHASTITY period of the civil war, but that
while that was instanced as a case in
which the strong arm Of the national gov
eminent was needed to correct state evil,
the war was really a sectional matter.
Sectionalism no longer existed in this coun-
try, he said and there are as many and as
devoted .adherents Of state rights now
above Mason and Dixons line as below it..
He said the dual system of state and ma
tfonal government is the essential feature
of the American government, and that it
is the one thing that with this great and
growing country will prevent the republic
from sinking into the evils Of an unlimited
democracy with the attendant evils of a
one-man-power government. The central
lied government, he contended, is an invi-
tatfoR to corruption, and he instanced the
senate as already the stronghold Of the
money power OF the country. 1t ia easier,
he said, to corrupt q closely centralized ma
tional government than it is to reach the
scattered governments of the various
states.
"oAu WAS Tic next
speaker on the affirmative. He said that
The extension Of interstate commerce had
made Its regulation by the national gov
eminent imperative, and he pointed out
that with the change in the conditions Of
modern life changes in the form Of the
Constitution are necessary and that the
trainers Of that document had wisely made
provision for them by the very act of leav-
ing the Constitution open to amendment. .
Closes the Discussion.
Hugh Spalding, the last speaker of the
evening, said the Constitution was the out
growth Of centuries of experience in law
making, and that the modification Of our
system into the centralized form of gov
eminent was only the aim of the most rad
ical school Of unwise politicians. He said
the dangers of an extension of federal au-
thority are shown in the recent school cpl
sode In San Francisco, and he warned his
hearers against allowing the general gov
eminent to invade the least rights of the
individual states.
The debate was followed by banquet at
which number Of the faculty. ali the
judges and debaters and many Of the grad
yates of the university were present.

ognizing the errors of his subordnates. he
neither punished them nor removed them
from their positions so as to prevent further
mischief. The only epithets to apply to~the
published denunciations were brazen faced
and shameless. Gen. Oku said he could not
believe that Gen. kuropatkin had written
so foolishly
Gen Nogi. true to his reputation for
taciturnity, merely made the comment that
it was strange that the compilation of such
volume was permitted. ,
Gen. NodZu said. he sympathiZed with
Gen. kuropatkin. who met with the great
est difficulties. He considered the Russian
commander-in-chief to be a master in the
art of retreat. as shown at Liaoyang and
Mukden. where he exhibited the most con-
summate skill. Gen. Nodzu doubted the
ability Of the Japanese to manage a retreat
as well.

Final Plea Of Defense.
Texas Gets II. G. Pierce.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, February %
Gov Folk yesterday afternoon honored the
requisition OF Gov. Campbell of Texas for
H. Clay Pierce. chairman Of the board of
the waters-Pierce Oil Company. who is
wanted in Travis county, Tex, on charge
of making false affldavits.
Judge John D. Johnson, attorney for Mr..
Pierce, teiephoned Gov. Folk today three
reasons why the governor should not grant
the reQuisition of the Texas officers for
Pierce. One is that the afidavit, in which
perjury is charged. was r-ade six years
ago and the statute Of limitation has run
in favor of Pierce; another, that the grand
Jury indicted Pierce on documentary EVIL
dence, without Interrogation of any wit
ness; the third. that Pierce signed the affi-
dayit on the evidence of his attorneys, with

Seeking 100000 600 Souls.

OMAHA. Neb, February 22.-The inter
synodical foreign missionary convention for
men Of the Presbyterian Church ended
yesterday afternoon. No permanent Or
ganization was formed. but it is under
stood that other conventions of the same
character will be held.
The principal work of yesterdays session
was the adoption of a statement which de-
clares that 1t is the Judgment of the conven-
ton that the number of human beings for
whose evangelization the Presbyterian
Church is responsible is apparently 100000,
600, distributed as follows:
Mexico, $500, 600; Central America, 500 600:
South America, 1000 600; Japan. 1900 600;
Korea, 100000; China. 40 600, 600; Siam,
Laos. ETC., 100000; Turkey. 2.O00, 600;
Africa, 100000; Philippines. 1900, 600
In the opinion of the convention, Ameri-
can foreign missionaries should be in
creased as soon as possible to 1000, one
for each 5000 unevangelized persons in
Christian lands, and it is estimated that
1t will cost not less than $8,0o0,OO0 year
to carry out the program.

members of the firm of Sutro Bros. had an
uneasy time yesterday when they discov-
cred that negotiable railroad and indus

securities were afterward found or re-
turned to the firm.
1t was announced that the securities
Were lost in Pine street by messenger
boy who had been sent to the transfer Of
fees of several corporations. They were
picked up by a man whose name the men,
bers of the firm do not know, and he turned
them over to a banking house in the same
street. which speedily relieved the Sutro
firm Of anxiety.

the loss had been printed on the ticRers,
