G. w. ALUMNI TO ASK
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Conflicting Reports Concerning Condition of School
Will Be Threshed Out by Graduates.
Aid From Congress Wanted.

John JOY Edison. treasurer of the uni
yersity at 81, while the lowest Csti-
mate made is that IL is not worth
more than so a square foot.
As a feature of the alumni meeting
last night, DIT. s. s. Laws, for eighteen
years president of the University OF
Missouri. and for eight years president
of Westminster College. made an earnest
plea for the adoption of a plan to en-
dow George Washington University so
as TO place its finances on a firm basis.
The alumni. he declared. should work
TO get Congress to pay over 10 the
university some 81 000. 900. which he said
was due the institution morally, If not
legally. DR.. Laws explained that in the
last will of George Washington there
mas provision for the establishment
OF a national university here.
In this will" said DR.. Laws, the
first President the United States left
$4,000 worth of stock of the old Poto-
mac Canal for the establishment of a
school in Washington. He also rec
commended that Congress appropriate a
like amount for the same purpose. In
my opinion, this money, which, If II
had been invested, would have
amounted to nearly 100000 by this
time, should be given by Congress to
the university"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-06-25

Early next week the committee Of
seven members Of the alumni of George
Washington University. who will be
charged with the task of thoroughly in
yestigating the financial condition Of the
Institution, will wait on President
Needham and the board OF trustees. and
ask that a statement of the exact finan-
cial status be submitted both for the
information of the alumni and those
from whom future support will be
asked.
a. :. Worthinston, permanent chair
man of the alumni association, who has
been empowered to select tie committee
Of seven. said today that its membership
will be composed of men who have kept
In close touch with the universities af-
fairs, and who are acquainted with the
elements that have contributed to its
present troubles. Mr.. WorthingtOn will
not announce the names of the COM
mitteemen until ne returns to Washing
ton, next Monday or Tuesday.
One of the chief objects of this inven-
tigating committee, whose appointment
Is provided for in a resolution adopted
at a meeting Of about $50 members of
the alumni last night at the New will
lard Hotel. will be TO settle whether
President Needham's recent statement
Of the university's financial condition,
which was extremely optimistic in tone,
or whether the frequent rumors of a
serious crisis, should be accepted as
fact President Needham's statement
was that in substance the university
had approximately S1.200.000 worth OF
assets, consisting largely of real es-
tate, against which are approximately
$4,000 of liabilities, making balance
Of nearly $4,000
Opposed to this are the assertions Of
President Needhau's opponents that by
the most sanguine calculation the uni
versity cannot claim more than $3.50, GOO
in assets.
There exists a wide difference of
opinion as TO the value of the real es-
tate and this is held to explain par
tally the conflicting opinions of the
university head ana his opponents. An
Illustration OF this is shown in the
valuation of the property at Fifteenth
and II streets.
President Needhom has estimated the
ground to be worth s35 A square foot;

EVEN HOT WEATHER
CAN'T STOP SENATE
InSurgent Amendment to
Iron and Leather Seized
ule Defeated.

Hot weather 10 the contrary notwith-
standing, the Senate this morning got
into an animated debate on the sub
Ject OF pig iron and scrap iron duties.
Insurgent Republicans made a strong
effort 10 decrease the rates.
Senator Cummins led of with an
amendment for the purpose OF putting
pig and scrap iron Ia separate sched-
nles. As they were reported on by the
Finance Committee, they are in the
came schedule and are given the same
rate Of duty, $3.50 per ton. Cummins
proposed TO separate them, cOntending
there was no reason why they should
be classified together, and then present
ed amendments TO lower the duties, pro-
posing on pig iron duty OF $50 per
ton.
He contended there was neither phil
osophy nor justice IN adding 70 the
value Of scrap iron By imposing a duty.
and that 1t ought TO come in free. He
pointed out that the open-hearth process
OF making iron, which BIDS fair to dis
place the Bessemer process, requires
the use of a certain amount Of scrap
iron. and that the general effect of n
duty would make the consumer pay
more for iron and steel
Senator Oliver and Senator Aldrich
defended the Finance Committee rates
Crawford Of South Dakota spoke for
the Cummins amendments. He declared
the Finance Committee was proposing
10 assess high duties on Old brOken-uD
stoves old wheels. and All that sort.
and that il was an absurdity.
What's the use OF having revision,
he asked. III We are 10 be governed By
an ossified schedule like this?"
Cummins said the Senator from South
Dakota had evidently forgotten that. as
