Professors Of State Universities
to Be Included in His Pen
sion Scheme.
THEY HAD REQUESTED IT
Income from the Organized Carnegie
Foundation Had been Exhausted
and a Larger FUND Was Neces-
Aary--tnnual Income from
Total Fund s750,OOO.

New York, April 3.-Announcement
was made tonight that Andrew Car
negie would add $5,00o,000 to the fund
of the Carnegie foundation or what
ever sum might be necessary to in
clude as pension benehciaries 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 it
possible that such institutions might
prefer that their relations should con-
tinue exclusively with the state from
which their chief support was de-
rived. This view was not taken by
tho national association of State uni
versities which in the year following
tho establishment of the foundation,
pctitioned the trustees for admittancc
to the benefits of the retiring allow
ance system. 1t WAS then found that
the earnings Of the original fund OF
100000 were exhausted through
the outlet already planned and that If
the faculties Of all state universities
were to be benefited, an additional
100000 would be required Tho sit
uation was placed formally before
Mr.. Carnegie by Dr. Henry s. Prt-
chett, president of the Carnegie Foun-
dalton for the Advancement of Teach
ing, on March 81 last and on that
same day Mr. Carnegie replied that
the money would be forthcoming for
any State institution whose applica
ton received the approval of the Leg
islature and Governor of its State
The additional donation will be in
five per cent. bonds, so providing an
added annual income of quarter Of
million dollars, and a total for year
ly disbursement OF $4,000.

WIDOW OF SLAIN

Mrs, RuStin'S Testimony Tends
10 DiSproye Suicide Theory
Relied Upon to Free Davis
at Omaha.


Omaha, Dee. 1.-The second day
of the trial Of Charles e. Davis,
charged with the murder of DIR.
Frederick Rustin, developed that the
prosecution will be ably assisted by
those interested in the dead mans
widow collecting all OF the $4,000 in
surance carried on the dead physi-
clans life and that the defense win
leave no stone unturned to prevent
much of the testimony given at the
coroners inquest and the preliminary
hearings going before the jury.
1t took less than an hour TO com
plete the jury, after the court con-
vened this morning and presentation
torneys on both sides at 3 O'Clock this
afternoon. Two witnesses, both
women, including the widow of the
dead physician, We're placed on the
stand this afternoon.
Mrs. r. Il. Archer, who lives df-
rectly across the street from the Rus
tin home and who heard the shot and
witnessed from her window the strug
gle of Mrs. Rustin to get her husband
from the porch into the house, de-
veloped nothing new, although Mrs.
Archer testified that her husband who
also heard the shot has since been
stricken with apopleXy and VIII be
unable to testify at the trial of Davis.
Mrs Rustin made an interesting
witness, Attired in a Widows garb
with a long, flowing veil, which
formed as dark ground for her pale
face, she quickly showed alertness in
replying to the questions in a man
ner which would tend to disprove the
suicide theory and gave her evidence
in an impressive and convincing way,
She was frank in her explanations
and while telling of her husband S
success as a physician and surgeon,
smiled her satisfaction.
During her cross examination she
easily avoided falling into the traps
set for her by the counsel for the de-
fense, and she was still under his
searching cross examination when
court adjourned for the day.
