New York. July s-John D. Rockefeller
i-ss raised the totaI OF his contributions

last or latest gift Of SI0.000B0. which Is

on some OF the hot days between nov and

that. and intrusted 10 the membership
OF the board, as IL may be constituted al
some future day. the responsibility OF
distributing the principal OF the fund
among the educational institutions of the
land II II shall be deemed advisable by
sumcienrly large quota OF the member

Under the regulations az present. obtEin-
ing this power OF final disposition would
extend only 10 S5S.Ooooo0. irasmuch as the
boards holds a sum OF 100000 IN trust.

the disposal OF. which Mr Rockefeller
and his son. John D. Rockefeller. jr., may
dispose Of during their lives.
Power over the Whole.
The natural coraIlary. however. to the
senior Mr.. Rockefener's latest outburst
OF generosity would suggest a power OF
final disposition over the whole vested IN
the board.
II was said to-day that il has always
been Mr. RockefelIer's intention 20 make
such a provision for final disposition as
ne has just done az some time before
passing onward. and that his doing it
now was more or less & coincidence or
convenience. inasmuch as he was IN
communication with the board IN con
nection with his new additional gift of
S1O.o00 900, the income Of which Is 20 be
used for current demands.
Mr. Rockefeller's last contribution OF
riches and power were made known 10

Great Need for Funds.
In making the announcement to-day
Chairman Gates said that this large ad-
dition OF slO,ooo.000 to the permanent funds
OF the board was contributed because
the income OF the present funds imme-
diately available for appropriation had
been exhausted. and that It was found
necessary 10 have additional income in
order TO meet educational needs "of
present great Importance"
He said that the board made It a rule
never TO exceed Immediately available in
come-which might amount TO $4,000 or
S90, 900 a month-in its awards 20 colleges
and universities. and that something like
800 applications had been received by
the board beyond the number which It
had already acted upon. which is large.

French Artists Want Copyright Privilege

excepting the pauper children or great
artists. who might try to establish some
sentimental claim on the purse of the
great patron.
The contrast is so great between the
sums gained by artists and the prices
charged for their works by dealers that
there is wide sympathy with the move
ment of the society of lie Droit dauteur
aux Artistes' Art collectors are not nu-
merous among the French deputies, and
no great opposition is anticipated on their
part to the establishment of the art prop
erty office Some opposition to 1t Is threat
ened by socialists, who hold that the art
lists property in his work is nothing other
than that of the last holder. Edmond Pic
ard. one of the most able of continental
Maecenas. as well as jurisconsult OF
European reputation, lays down the So
cialist law as follows:
..'rhe personal part of an inventor In his
discoveries of an artist IN MS work. Is
simply the finishing point, the last drop
which fills the vase and makes 1t f1ow
over What would it be worth without
all that previous generations nave put at
the artists dispositions"
According to this exponent the artist
whose hand fashions a statue or paints
a picture has no more right according to
justice" to claim preference than any
of 'the elements of the series which ne
terminates" 1t is. he says an alteration
to pretend that "the right of the last
holder Is equivalent to proprietorship.
The socialists are not opposed to tax
but they demand that the tax shall be
imposed. like the tax on unearned incre-
ments, for the benefit of the state, not for
that OF individual producers.
Evening star., 1909-09-04

Night and day the mimic war goes stead
lily forward. and although enough hits
have already been recorded by the ships
to sink the entire navy of any single
world power the battle will continue
two weeks longer.
The big warships began their practice
in the placid waters of Cape Cod bay, and
after several weeks of evolutions and
maneuvers there the ships came down to
the southern drill grounds to fire at NOV
ing targets under rougher weather condi-
tions than could be hoped for in the bay
off the Massachusetts coast. And since
their coming the sea on the drill grounds
has been almost as smooth as that from
which. they came. Once or twice high
winds whipped the Atlantic into white
caps and the desired choppy sea was had.
but at such times the weather was misty
and the gunners were unable to train
their guns with any degree of accuracy.
This condition has been particularly
disappointing to the crack gunners on the
ships, for it has been many months since
they have fired at moving targets in
rough weather. With the new fire con-
troll hitting stationary targets in smooth
sea is an easy matter for the American
