Masses in Great Cities,

Albany. n. Y. March 12.-Ml's
Russell Sage, through her counsel
Henry w. DE Forest, authorized the
following statement in relation to the
Sage foundation, a bill Incorporating
which has been introduced in the leg
islature:
II have set aside $10O0O,OO0 for
the endowment of this foundation.
Its object is the improvement of So
cial and living conditions i'm the
United States. 1t will be within the
scope of such a foundation to inves~
tgate and study the causes of ad-
verse social conditions. including ig-
norancc, poverty and vices, to suggest
how these conditions can be remedied
or ameliorated, and to put in opera
ton any appropriate means to that
end.
"Whilc having its headquarters in
New York City where Mrs. Sage ana
| have lived and where social prob
lens are most pressing and compli-
Gated, partly by reason of its extent
and partly because it is the port or
entry for about Il million immigrants
a wear, the foundation will be natiOnal
in its scope and in its activities.
II have sought to elect as my trus-
tees men and women who are famillN
with social problems and who can
bring to their solution not only zeal
and interest, but experience and judg>
ment."
The trustees named by Mrs. Sage
to carry on the work are: Robert w.
Deforest, Cleveland; II. Dodge, Dam
iel c. Gilman, John NJ. Glenn, Miss
Helen Gould, Mrs William b. Rice,
and Miss Louise A. L. Schuyler all OF

HILL WILLING TO SELL
OUT TO GOVERNMENT

MINNEAPOLIS, March 12.-JameS j.
Hin. president of the Great Northern,
testifying before the Sundbury legisla-
tive committee today declared without
qualification that he would be onl%
too willing TO have the United states
government take over his road lie
stated further that If the government
should go into the railroad business II
would be nothing short of lottery
and the country would, as a matter Of
fact. have an elephant" on It's hands
"Then." he said the government
would be obliged to engage IN anothef
lottery to get rid of the elephant.
"Why do you say that" asked At
torney James Manahan for the CONF
mlttee which is trying to ascertain the
cost of the railroads in the state
II make the assertion because II Is
so" said Mr. Hill. "If the government
had charge Of all the railroads IN inc
country congress would be Kept busy
making appropriations night ana day
and the districts with poor represen-
tation and sparse population would be
left In the lurch This would mean
that the districts in question. would
90 to seed as far as the railroads are
concerned. and that the railroads.
would get rusty fjguratlvely speak
ing and become less and less Valua-
Bile" ,,
Attorney Manahan asked MIR. Hill
what II would cost the government to
secure control Of the Great Northern.
The witness replied that it would cost
more than $4,000 per mile to RE
produce" the Great Northern, not
counting extensive terminals. dock.
and other property Counting all OF
the property, he said II would take
about 100000 per mile to reproduce
the road :.
Mr.. Hill used the word reproduce
guardedly, not admitting that hc
would sell his road for only $4,000 or
100000 per mile.

Stckney. president of tho Chicago,
Great Western Railroad company, who
arrived here tonight. in an interview
discussing the railroad situation, said:
"The people are now laying the
foundation firm and strong for a tre-
mendous panic"
Mr. StiCkney said he does not be.
licvc that the crisis will be reached
within the next two years. but he tooll
the position that 1t will certainly come
and will be even more distrous than
the panic of 1891. He declared thai
if the present railroad agitation Is
kept up all the railroads are threat
ened with bankruptcy and that in
1903 hundreds of thousands of men
will be thrown out of employment.
The great unrest in the financial
world, President Stickney said, is not
due to the policy of President Roose-
welt. but is brough0 about by "hostile
legislation of the various state leSiS'
lures"
Mr.. Stickney contended that the
only solution of the railroad problem
is to grant all the power to regulate
the roads to the federal government.
He urged the establishment of a de-
partment of interstate commerce,
it's head to he member Of
the cabinet and he asserted the pres
emf interstate commerce commission l.
failnre because the power to act is
nlaced in tbe hands of too many men.

that under the constitution only the
national government can settle the
question of exclusion. and such a
vote Of California as Is proposed
would have to be treated as entirely
nugatory, it would probably be
regarded by those opposed To eNclu-

tutional powers of the United States
and exclude japanese in defiance OF
their treaty rights to come in.
Il earnestly deprecate the passage
of any legislation affecting the Japa-

the matter in hand and can i'm all hu,

California desires while at the same
