CARNEGIE GIVES HALF MILLION
Baltimore to Have Additional
Branch Public Libraries.
Steel Kings Conditions Technically
Met After Long Wrangle over
Legal Problem.

Special 20 The Washington Herald
Baltimore. Oct. Andrew Carnegie has
placed 10000 without condition. 10 the
credit Of the trustees of the Enoch Pratt
Free Library. With this money the trus-
tees viii proceed at once 10 build branch
libraries in various sections Of the city.
Information regarding Mr.. Carnegie
generous act was. given to Mayor Nahool
this afternoon by Gen. James a. Gary
chairman Of the library board OF trus-
tees. Gen. Gary stated that the trustees
will have three Of the branch libraries
completed next summer. and added that
the trustees hope 10 appear before the
board Of estimates In a few days 10 ask
for an appropriation Of about $1,000 FOR
the maintenance Of the branches.
About a year ago Mr.. Carnegie notified
the Enoch Pratt Library trustees that he
would give $4,000 for branch library
buildings. but he coupled the offer OF
the money with two conditions. which
were that the city should provide the
sites for the branches free Of charge. and
that the city should agree 10 appropriate
each year for the maintenance Of the
branches sum equal 20 10 per cent OF
the first cost Of the branches.
City solicitor Bruce decided that these
conditions could not be met. He gave
an opinion in which he stated that the
city hasn't authority 60 appropriate money
for library purposes. and that even If 1t
has such authority IL could not appropri-
ate money 20 the En0ch Pratt trustees
who are private corporation and not
part Of the city government. In addition
necessitated a financial agreement which
constituted a perpetual debt. which debt
the city had no right 10 contract withou,
the approval OF the voters at some
election.
The matter was pressed however, and
the council finally passed an ordinance
accepting the gift. and this ordinance
was sent to Mr.. Carnegie. who decided
that Il was satisfactory. although Il does
not meet his conditions He thereupou
notified Gen, Gary a few days ago that he
had transferred the $4,000 TO the account
Of the trustees.
The ordinance which was passed valves
the question OF a binding legal obligation
upon the city TO maintain the libraries
and IS declared by competent lawyers &c
be merely a moral obligation The city
IN other words. does not have 20 make
libraries, but If the libraries are built
there viii be a moral obligation on the
city TO maintain them.

sign. which was sunk and her crew Of
ninety lost in Chippewa Bay. in the St
Lawrence, near BrOckville. during the
war Of 1872 has probably been located by
fishermen near Dark Island. the summer
home Of Commodore F. c. Bourne. Of
New York. The discovery. If true. means
untold wealth for the lucky fishermen.
That the facts warrant a belief in tbe
tale is manifest from odd pieces of ship's
rigging and rope ends characteristic of
the times 100 years ago. These remnants
and the cover Of a sea chest with the
word Ensign inlaid in pearl. have come
to light where the treasure ship is SUD-
posed TO lie. The discovery was made
while two fishermen were out trawIing.
