FIVE MILLION GIFT
By ANDREW CARNEGIE
Is Supplemental to Gift Of Some Time
Agc to Provide Pensions for Col
Iege Professors.

New York, April 4.--Announcement
was made last night that Andrew Car
negie would add $5,00O.000 to the fund
Of the Carnegie foundation o. whatever
sum might be necessary To include as
pension benefciaries, eligible professors
of state universities.
No provision was made for this class
OF educators in the original gift for the
reason stated BY Mr.. Carnegie at the
time that the donor thought ii possible
that such institutions might prefer that
their relations should continue exclu-
sively with the state from which their
chief support was derived. This view
was not taken by the national associa
tion Of state universities which In the
year following the establishment of the
foundation, petitioned the trustees for
admittance to the benefits Of the retir-
Ing allowance system. X was then
found that the earnings of the original
fund Of Sl0O00,000 were exhausted
through the outlet already planned, and
that il the faculties of all state uniyer-
stiles were to be benefited, an additional
$5.000,000 would be required. The situ.
alton was placed formally before Mr.
Carnegie BY DR. Henry s. Pritchett. pres
ident Of the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement Of Teaching, on March 81
last, and on that same day Mr. Carnegie
replied that the money would be forth
coming for any state institution whose
application received the approval Of the
legislature and governor Of its state.
The additional donation win be in five
per cent bonds, so providing an added
annual income Of quarter Of million
dollars, and a total for yearly disburse-
ment Of $7500O0

Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt Was
on Stand To-day
BEFORE REFEREE MCCLURE
Greatest Secrecy Was Maintained in
Getting Mrs. Vanderbilt Into the
court--Rumor Of a corespon-
dents Name.

New York, April 4--Sirs Alfred Van
derbilt was star witness again at the
hearing before Referee David Mcclure
in her divorce suit. The greatest secre.
cy was observed in getting her into the
referees Office. No inkling Of her story
was allowed to creep out. About dozen
other witnesses are still to be exam
ined
The first witness called before the
retere was Howard Kempster, who
the valet Of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who
was the valet Of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
and who become valet for Alfred G.
Vanderbilt when the latter became the
head Of the family upon his fathers
death
1t is said that Kempster has enjoyed
position with Mr.. Vanderbilt consid-
erably more confidential than that of
the ordinary valet, and the fact that
he was left behind as a witness when
his employer sailed for Europe Is taken
to indicate that the taking Of evidence
will proceed rapidly, and that the hear
ings viii reach an early conclusion. This
Is said to be in accordance with the
wishes Of all concerned, including the
immediate relatives Of both Mr.. and Mrs.
Vanderbilt.
On the same afternoon on which the
summons and complaint were served on
Mr. Vanderbilt, in bis offices at the
Grand Central railroad station, man
called on Mime. Adelaide Flores at her
Lexington avenue apartment, SO the
apartment house employees say. The
man handed her paper, bowed and
took his departure.
Mime. Flores is the Nine. Ruiz who re-
Gently paid $4,000 for an automobile
that had been purchased in Mr. Wander
bilt's name by his stable man, Brenchley.
She was visited by Mr.. Vanderbilt just
before his departure for Europe. Since
that visit she has left word at the house
To tell callers that she ii out Of town.
She has been remaining in her apart
nants, however and preparing for
trip abroad, which, she says, She intends
to make in short lime.
When seen BY reporter, Nine Flores
said she would not discuss the Wander
