ROCKEFELLER GIVES slO,OOO,OOO
His Donation to the General Educa.

to $52,000,o00.

New York, July 10.-John D. Rookie.
Teller, has increased his donation to
the general education board by a gift
Of $1O,OO0,0OO and also released the
board from the obligation to hold In
perpetuity the funds contributed by
him. The gift brings Mr.. Rockefeller's
donations to the general education
board to $52,0O0.OOO 1t was contri-
buted, according to Chairman F. T.
Gates Of the board, because the income
available for appropriation had been
exhausted and larger income to
meet important educational needs had
become necessary. Mr.. Rockefeller's
action empowering the board and its
successors to distribute the principal
Of funds contributed by him upon the
affirmative vote Of two-thirds Of its
members, was said to have been taken
In consideration Of the possibility,
now remote, that at some future time
the purpose of the Rockefeller founda-
ton might become obsolete. Under
the original conditions the fund would
have had to continue in perpetuity.
In acknowledging Mr.. Rockefeller's
gift, the board sent him letter, which
accepts with gratitude this new
proof Of your generosity, your zeal for
an educated citizenship In this democ-
racy and your confidence, and will en-
deavor to use the gift with large mind
sdness and good sense, to the end that
the interests Of society in the Repub-
Iican may be increasingly benefited

been the subject of dispute for long
time.
The Bolivian minister did not APP
pear at the ministry and the decision
was delivered to the Beruvian minis

interview later he declared that he
did not accept the invitation In order
not to commit his government on the

cision.

tested territory almost equally be-

TAFT FIRM

Washington, July 29-Through a
written communication President
Taft advised the tariff conference
committee today that he cannot ac
cept a rate exceeding one dollar and
twenty-five cents on rough lumber
and that he will insist on the senate
rates on gloves and hosiery, which
are lower than the house rates.
The Democratic members Of the
committee who were called In at
todays meeting, which was sched
uled for ten o'clock, remained only
until ten-ffty-twO
The President told the conferees
that the pledges Of the party requir
ed a downward revision on these arti
cles. The Presidents stand has had
the effect of reopening the lumber
and gloves schedules and there is
much doubt now in the minds of the
conferees as to when the end might
be reached.
Although the exact terms Of the
Presidents letter have not been civ
en- out It is regarded as his ultima
tum and is interpreted as meanino
that if his terms are not complied

went in at the right temple and came
out seven inches away on the left

through the upper part of the left
The sound of the shot was not
heard in any part Of the club house
but Puliam falling to the floor ap-
parently dislOdged the receiver of a

The operator ON the ground floor
answering the signal got no reply and
sent a leli boy to Pulliam's room to
find what was the matter. The boy
