RESOLUTIONS or BOARD.

The board of trustees adopted a res
olution expressing appreciation of Mr.
Rocketellcr's generosity and ordered
a copy spread upon the records, one
of which will be cngrossed and con-
ycyed to Mr.. Rockefeller by IA special
committee.
The board OF trustees of the Uni
vcrsity of Chicago accepts the gift
made by Mr. Rockefelled in his letter
of December Is. 1910, and pledges itself
to carry out in the spirit. as well as
in the letter. the conditions accom-
punylng it.
1T is now 81 years since. IN May,
1885, Mr.. Rockefeller made his first gift
to the University of Chicago. The
present gift marks. therefore. the COM
plction of II significant period in the
history of the university through which
he has co-opcrated with other friends
of the institution, to place it on q per-
mancnt foundation. This final gift
will make the total which the uni
versity will have received from its
founder approximately IS million dol
lars.
1--WE know Of no parallel in tho his
tory of educational bcnefactions of
gifts so muniticcnt bestowed upon Il
single institution Of learning. But as
unique as they are in amount they are
still more remarkable for the spirit in
which they have been bestowed. Mr..
Rockefeller has never permitted the
university to bear his name. and con-
scented to be called its founder only
at the urgent request of the board OF
trustees.
"EIc has never suggested tho ap-
pointmcnt or the removal of any pro-
fcssor.
ROCKEFELLER NEVER MEDDLED.
.Whntcvcr views may have been cx-
pressed by members Of the faculty, he
has never Indicated either assent or

rectly or indirectly with that freedom

BARNES CLAIMS SHERMAN
HAS MAJORITY FOR GAVEL
New York Leader Says the Vice
President Has 55 to Good

ALBANY, Sept. 20.-A clear major
ity of flfty-f1ve votes for the selection
Of Vice President Sherman as tenn
porary chairman of the Republican
state convention over Colonel Roosevelt
was claimed tonight by william
Barnes jr. as a result OF the up state
primaries today.
Mr.. Barnes, who has been leading
the fight Of the "old guard" declared
the real contest at Saratoga will be in
the committee on resolutions. This
committee will consider the question
Of direct nomination.
Mr.. Barnes gave out this statement:
'Mr. Roosevelt was defeated in the
state committee by vote of 20 to 10,
and then Mr.. Sherman was unanimous
ly chosen as the temporary presiding
officer by the state committee. To
question that determination on the
floor of the convention is equivalent to
bolting a nomination.
''This is known as political welch-
ing and had Mr.. Roosevelt defeated
Mr.. Sherman in the state committee
that would have been the end Of that
controversy. Mr. Roosevelt has not
acted as Mr.. Sherman would have done

TAWNEY, FAv0RITE
OF TAFT, BEATEN
BY PROGRESSIVE
Man for Whom President Gave
Best Tariff -Ever-Made'
Speech Is Defeated
MINNESOTA HOLDS PRIMARY
congressman Who Voted Against
Payne Bill Are. All
Renominated
Associated Pressl

81. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 20.-Early
returns from the primary election held
today indicate that Representative
James A. Tawney, who has represented
the First Minnesota district since 1892,
has been defeated for the nomination
by Sidney Anderson, progressive.
Anderson carried Albert Lea by 80
and Freeborn county by 200.
The village of Lanesboro, Sidney
Anderson's home town, shows returns
of 2S2 for Anderson and 80 for Tawney.
Prester, village said to be one of the
Tawney strongholds, went 200 for An
derson and 119 for Tawney.
Sixty-nine out of 271 precincts give
Anderson $500, Tawney 5000. Anderson
claims the nomination by 1000 Tawney
has gone to bed.
Tawney Is known in Washington as
the right hand man in the house of
the Taft administration. For years he
has been a power in congress and is
head of the important committee on
appropriations. He was the only cons
gresham from Minnesota to vote for
the Payne tariff bill.
President Taft in his western trip
went to Tawney's nome at~Winona and
delivered his famous speech in which
he referred to the Payne bill as the
"best tariff ever made" and commend
ed Tawney for voting for it.
Theodore Roosevelt recently attacked
Tawney in q speech at the conservation
congress.
Congressman Frank M. Nye is rea-
sonably certain of the nomination In
the Fifth district over A. Hail.
In the Fourth district Congressman
Stevens is having a hard fight against
A. H. Halbert. With about one
fourth of the vote in Stevens is run
ming slightly ahead, but only meager
returns have been received from the
country, where Halbert is running far
In the lead.
Clarence B. Miller was renominated
in the Eighth district and Congress-
man Lindberg. in the Sixth and Con-
gressman Steenerson In the Ninth
Congressman Davis and Volsted have
no opposition.
Congressman Hammond, Democrat
is renominated in the Second district

TAWNEY'S SCALP HANGS
AT R00sEVELT'S BELT
Colonel, Pinchot and Heney All
Opposed to Standpatter

WINONA, Mimi, Sept 2O.-Scattered
precincts give Tawney 117S and Ander-
son 1860, gain of 256 for Anderson as
compared with the vote for KnatVold,
Tawney's opponent two years ago
when Tawney won by less than 5000.
A report from Rochester says Ander-
son will carry Olmstead county, con-
sidered the pivotal point in the pri-
maries, by 200 to 600 votes.
Seventy precincts out of 271 give
Tawney 1926 and Anderson 1928. Taw-
ney is running behind in almost every
precinct as compared with the primary
vote of two years ago.
He will not carry Winona county. his
home, by more than 700, as compared
with 1850 in 1908. If he is nominated,
it appears he will go in by the Slight
est kind of a majority.
The fight which led I'D to the prI-
maries today was the most bitter In
which Congressman Tawney has fig
ured in his eighteen years as a repre-
sentative of the First district. An
derson, young lawyer residing at
Lanesboro; came into the opposition
to Tawney late, but Immediately be-
gan his whirlwind campaign. 1t was
fought entirely along insurgent lines.
VOTED FOR TARIFF BILL
Anderson fought Tawney as a Can
MONTE, the only man of the Minneso-
ia delegation who voted for the tariff
bill, and an enemy of Roosevelt.
The address of the ex-president at
the st. Paul conservation congress, in
which he struck directly at Tawney,
served as another bomb for Anderson
and he used 1t in all his utterances.
On Labor day, at Rochester, Clifford
Pinchot delivered an address unso-
licited, it was claimed, in which he
attacked the record of Tawney The
latter's reply to this attack in which he
charged Pinchot with improper use of
public moneys and with defeating the
free lumber tariff bill. proved Mr..
Mr. Tawneys only speech of the pri-
mary.
Incidentally, in that address, Tawney
defended his public career, and the
keynote was that he believed in gov
ernment by law, which made impos-
sible the Roosevelt commissions, the
extension of the secret service, and the
further expenditure Of money by Pin
chot.
Francis j. ,Heney, the California
graft prosecutor, and prominent Wis
consin insurgents, also took the stump
against Tawney.

TRIAL MARRIAGE LEADS
TO REAL MATR|M0NY
Son of Italy Plays the Game of
Hearts and Wins When
He Tries to Lose

An unwilling Italian bridegroom, his
Irish fiancee, an unusual type of trial
marriage" and an angry justice of the
peace were features in an interesting
proceeding In Justice Summerteld's 8
court yesterday which eliminated
when Miss Kate Murphy became the
bride of Demenk Tanga.
1t appears from the statements made
in court that Tanga obtained a mar
riage license August 81, but before he
and his flancee reached a magistrates
court he began talking about trial
marriages" and, his fiancee declared
yesterday, told her the license was suf-
hcient, anyhow.
Much against her will, the woman
was persuaded to take this view of
the romance. AS the days of their
home at S22 Maple avenue, her doubts
regarding her status increased. Final
ly she went to the authorities, and
Tanga was then notified that he must
carry the matrimonial compact Of
which the license was the first legal
step to the conclusion that conforms
to law. The couple arrived in Justice
Summerf1eld's court yesterday after
noon in custody of an officer.
Tanga was averse to the wedding
He offered many excuses, saying he
had ceased to love his fiancee, that she
was much older, etc., and pleading
that he be allowed to go his way and
that the woman rema in free to wed
some one else.
The magistrate was unsympathetic
and Tanga turned to the officer who
had him in charge.
'You gooda bigga man-you fix him
(pointing at Justice Summerheld), me
giva hundred dolla'.'
"What did he say?" asked Justice
Summerfield. Upon being told, he
looked sternly at the man from sunny
Italy and said:
Young man, you have been insin-
cere to this young lady, and now, ap-
parently, you intend to squirm out of
doing the right thing in any possible
way. You have got to marry her, or
else"
"Noa, noa," interrupted Tanga,
"giva me eighta days to consider"
"Tobie, / guess you had better make
out a complaint against this fellow"
said Justice Summerfleld.
me marry! me marry!" almost
shouted the son of Italy while showing
a great desire to have the justice get
busy, which he did.
Reaching the sentence, directed to
Tanga, containing "love, honor and
CHERISH" the justice read the words
carefully and distinctly, and when he
had concluded looked at Italy's son and
waited for the regular answer.
Tanga's tongue seemed petrifed; he
looked at the justice and then to the
officer with appealing eyes, and in the
lull the Irish woman by his side boo
hooed several times Finally an al
most inaudible "y-e-s" issued from his
scarcely moving lips.
With the conclusion Of the ceremony.
the justice warned him that if he ran
away from his bride without arranging
for her support a warrant for his ar
rest would be issued.

SHERMAN BEATEN
IN OWN DISTRICT
Temporary Candidate for Chair
man N. Y. State Republican
Convention DoWned Hard
Associated Press1

NEW YORK, Sept 2O.-Vice Presi-
dent James S. Sherman, candidate OF
the old guard for temporary chair
man of the Republican state eonven-
ton, was defeated in his own assem-
bly, dictrict, the second, of Oneida
county, and in his own ward in the
city of Utica at the Primary today.
According to reports received at Re-
publican state headquarters the ole
guard forces carried the first and third
districts of Oneida county, and will
have the support of fourteen delegates
while the progressive will have nine.
AS the result of primaries held to-
day in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse.
Albany, Troy and in other cities, and
counties up state, Timothy L. Wood
ruff, chairman of the state committee,
and William Barnes, jr., at Albany,
tonight predict Mr.. Sherman's cleo
ton as temporary chairman of the
state convention by a substantial ma
jority.
Lloyd c. Griscom, president of the
New York Republican committee,
leader of the progressives, tonight de-
clared Mr.. Barnes claim that Mr..
Sherman would have a majority of Do
in the convention was absurd, and ex-
pressed confidence that Colonel Roose-
welt would be named.
Mr.. Griscom said: 1.-THE action of
the Republican voters of Mr.. Sher-
mans own district in repudiating him
at the polls will have a profound effect
on the party throughout the state of
New York;
president Taft's letter to me Of
August 20 fully exposed the misuse of
his name and the deceit by which Mr.
Sherman's election by the state COM
mittee on August 16 was accomplished.
The voters of his own home have
shown their disapprova1 and voiced in
a practical way the general sentiment
of the best element in the party
throughout the state.
''NIr. Sherman cannot even go to the
state convention as a delegate from
the district in which he lives"
Chairman woodruff was advised of
the results in Oneida county by State
Committeeman Daniel r. Strobel of
Herkimer and former Mayor Thomas
Wheeler of Utica.
"They report" said Mr.. Woodruff
tonight, that the organization has
elected twenty-three out of thirty-two
delegates in the Oneida -Herkimer con-
gressional district, and they express
themselves as entirely satisfied with
fight made against them.
Mayor Wheeler said Mr.. Sherman
would head the delegation from the
First congressional district, and have
no doubt that he will be elected chair
man of the state convention by a sub
stantial majority"
