university The Crocker bequest was made
10 Columbia with the express provision
that ii be used for conducting experiments
that will lead TO a cure for cancer, and
when that is accomplished for the discoV-
cry OF cures of any other diseases that the
Columbia authorities may decide upon.
II is the intention of the Columbia trus-
tees to erect a new building for the carry
ing on of the experiments in cancer re-
search. but as none of the money Of the
bequest can be used for that purpose ii is
more than likely that President Butler and
the trustees will induce some public spir-
tied citizen TO advance the amount required,
which will probably be about half million
dollars
There are absolutely no restrictions
placed on the trustees in regard to the dis
position of the bequest of John Stewart
Kennedy. This amounts 10 $2.350,000. OF
which s2.25OO0O goes 10 the university
proper while 100000 is divided between
Barnard and Teachers colleges.
Less than week after the announce
ment Of the Kennedy bequest the Columbia
trustees received from Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam D. Sloane S15O.O for the erection Of
d new hospital at the College OF Physicians
and Surgeons.
IN September gifts amounting 10 more
than S250.0OO were announced The
largest individual contribution made at
that time was by II. W. Carpenter, l. As,
who added s1I2.5O0 TO the James S. Car
pentier fund established for the benefit OF
the law school. At the same time an un-
known benefactor gave 100000 toward the
cost of the completion OF the new law
school building The other gifts varied in
amount from SIS 10 $1,000
Just a few days ago it was announced
that Mrs MarceIlus Jenkins had given
500 600 TO Teachers College for the estab-
Hshment Of q new course for trained nurses
At the last meeting Of the trustees
s2O3O0 was announced. OF this $4,000
came for equipment in the medical and
engineering schools, and William X Van
derbiIt, Clarence II. Mackay and Alexander
Smith Cochran each gave $500 for spe-
cial maintenance.

DRIVEN FROM TUG BY FIRE.
Crew of Three Almost Perish in Strug-

Lorain. Ohio. Dec. 19.-The fishing tug

noon four miles off shore. The crew Of
three escaped after a battle with ice foes
in the bitter cold which almost cost them

Captain Charles Inches discovered fire
in the woodwork above the engine room,
and in only few moments his position
and that Of the engineer and fireman be-
came untenable.
The sides of the tug were in flames
before they launched a small yawl. There
had been no time to don extra wraps, and

REPORT ON MILK.
Church Committee Says Eight
Cents a Quart Is Right.

A committee OF the Manhattan Congre
gational Church, appointed by the pastor,
the Rev. DIR. Henry A. Stimson. TO inquire
into the Justice of the present price of
milk and the justice of the recent increase
In the price OF milk reported TO the con-
gregation last night at a meeting held after
the regular evening service.
r. S. Childs was the chairman, and as
the committee stated that the report
only preliminary. their names. except that
of Mr. Childs. were withheld. DR.. Stimson
announced, however. that the makeup OF
the committee was an ex-minister. law
Yer. college professor, an engineer and
an advertising agent.
Much of the information, the committee
reported. was given 20 it conhdentially, and
could not be used in the present prelimi-
nary report. In view of that the COM
mittee decided to give simply a bare re-
cital of its conclusions. as follows:
l. That the real investment of milk deal
ers is in the organization for handling milk
promptly, cleanly and economically.
2 That the cost OF milk during portion
o. the winter, plus the cost OF handling,
exceeds cents a quart, without considera-
ton of other investments.
B. That during considerable portion OF
the year the actual cost of milk delivered
10 the consumer has been in the past. and
will be in the future. much below cents
on account of fluctuations in the price paid
to the producer,
l. That with due allowance for invest
ment in both plant and organization, a net
profit of considerably less than a cent
quart would constitute i satisfactory re
turn to concerns of the size and character
which ara supplying the bulk of the house
hold trade of the city
Finally. that a uniform price OF Q cents
a quart the year round would be unwar-
Tanted and that during a large part of
the year, when milk production is large
and the price paid the farmer is low, S
cents a quart would give the dealer an
ample margin of profit.
To that the committee added that II
would lie reasonable to believe that milk
must sooner or later participate in The
general advance in price which is going
Oh il all commodities.
