JUDICIAL REVIEW
Of FRAUD ORDERED
BY P. D. DEPT.

Washington. Jan. S.-The house after
debate consuming the major portion OF
the session, passed bill yesterday pro-
viding for a judicial review OF orders ex-
cluding persons from the use OF United
States mail facilities
In presenting reasons why the Dill
should be passed, Mr.. Crumpacker said
the power given the postmaster general
under the statutes to issue fraud oruers
was not entirely an administrative dis
cretion. II rather partook OF the nature
OF a police power for the regulation OF
the morals OF the people OF the country,
Mr. Crumpacker contended that the
whole fraud order law was an unusual
proceeding; that IL il had been confined TO
institutions and practices that were es-
sentially fraudulent or were inherently
bad and criminal such as green goods
concerns lotteries, hy-by-night tnstitu-
tions, and -rich-quick establishments
as was originally Intended by congress,
there would be no complaint against II.
which. he said. seemed to show that con-
Germs were still doing business that ought
TO come within the scope of fraud orders.
He said the Dill was defective, and that
there should be no letting down OF the
bars to permit doubtful concerns to
fleece the public.
sunday Feb IL, was set apart for eulo-
gies on the life and public services OF

BROWN WILL HAVE
No SHARE IN THE
CARNEGIE FUND

Chicago, Jan. s.-Announcement was
made yesterday by the trustees of the
University OF Chicago that John ID.
Rockefeller would soon endow the Uni
versity of Chicago with 100000 to main
tain fund for superannuated professors
OF the institution.
The exclusion of the University of Chi
cago because it is a denominational school
from sharing in the 100000 Carnegie
pension fund Is said to be responsible for
Mr.. Rockefeller's decision to create a
pension fund for the University OF chi
cago.
NO PENSIONS FOR BROWN.
New York, Jan. S.--Brown university at
Providence and John p. Rockefeller's
University of Chicago are not 10 share IN
the benefits OF Andrew Carnegie's 5000
900 pension fund for superannuated col
lege professors. In the first annual re-
port of the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement OF Teaching. made public
yesterday there appears note written
to the trustees OF the foundation by the
by the late President Harper OF
Rockefellers university in which he took
the position that his Institution was not
strictly UNCONVENTIONAL in the sense GOV.
cred by Mr.. Carnegies deed OF gift. and
was therefore eligible TO share OF the
pension fund. The foundation trustees
have decided otherwise
Mr.. Carnegie's rigid exclusion OF de-
nominational institutions from the benefit
of his pension system is having the effect
according TO the trustees of the founda-
tion, of shaking loose the sectarian hold
on a considerable number of colleges
throughout the country. This movement
is spreading.
AS fast as the institutions throw off
their church affiliations and conform TO
the educational standards required by the
foundation. they are being admitted 10

its charter so as to free II entirely from

Frank Gatins, who captained the New
ark Eastern league team during the last
two campaigns win not be with the Colts
next season. The reasons are two. The
player himself has declared that he would
rather cast his lot with another club after
last seasons happenings, and Manager
Burnam, realizing the feelings of his cap
tain, end the fans. as well. has considered
Il advisable to let him go. There may be
a third and stih stronger cause That
Is the local manager may have man
in sight who promises to Mt better In
Gatins' place. At any rate, he and Connie
Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Attn
letics, have had their heads together for
some time. and a player may be steered
here from the Quaker town.
Gatins was undoubtedly one of the best
players in the Eastern league Up 10 last

lar player in a Newark uniform But
