ROCKEFELLER'S
new GIFT

CHICAGO, Oct. ia new gift to
the University of Chicago by John d.
Rockefeller, amounting practically to
$60O,O0O, was announced today by Reg
strar Thomas Goodspeed. The money
is to be used in the building of a y
brary as memorial to the late Presi-
dent Harper and the plans call for the
most magnificent and costly building
upon the campus.
This new gift brings the total of
money donated to the university by
John D. Rockefeller up to $40 100000.
of which $6,5OO.OO0 has been given in
the last two years.
At the time of President Harper's
death Mr.. Rockefeller notified the
board of trustees that if it desired to
erect a memorial library he would as
sist by gift of money.
The project was Immediately put I'M
der way and subscriptions solicited
| among the faculty. alumni and general
public by correspondence. Up to date
| $4,000 has been raised in this man
ner, but the subscriptions practically
| ceased about three months ago.
In a letter from John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., to the board of trustees, he said
that his father would give three dol
lars for every one raised by subscrip-
ton toward the library fund until he
had given up to the amount of 100000.
This means that at the present status
of the subscriptions, John d. Rookie
felle holds himself responsible for
$3.50. 600, making the total of subscrip-
tions $4,000.
Now that the terms of Mr.. Rockefel-
lers gift for the library are known, a
renewed effort will be made to raise
at least $4,000 more by general sub
scriptions in order to receive the full
benefit of the Rockefeller donation, and
the officers of the university are con-
fident that this can be quickly accom-
plished.
The designs for the library, prepared
by the architectural firm of Shepley
Rutan & Coolidge, originally called FOL
building to cost more than $1,000
900. These plans are now being re-
vised so that the building will cost be
tween 100000 and 100000. Work up
on the new building will begin abou
, the first of the year. The site is upol
the Midway between Ellis and Licking
= ton avenues.

SPOKANE SPORTS
PLAN RACING

SPOKANE, Oct 16.-Pool selling at
the interstate fair next year or a mile
race track established outside the city
limits and a two weeks race meet con-
Quoted independently of the Interstate
Fair association. Such is the plan
which is now being considered by
number of prominent horse owners of
Butte, who are acting in harmony with
several prominent real estate dealers
in this city.
Anticipating that no pool selling
would be allowed at the fair this year
an option was secured on a tract of
land for the putting in of mile track.
but the plan was knocked out when
the city council reversed it's position
and decided to allow pool selling at
the fair this year.
Promoters of the new plan are not
alarmed by the report that the next
session of the state Legislature will
pass a measure prohibiting pool sell
ing n the state, and it is reported to-
day that as soon as the pool selling
question at the fair is decided for next
year they will go ahead with the plan
of establishing a mile track
