Thief CAUGHT
IN RAT TRAP
Comes to Grief While Looting
Trenton Home.

Jason Meany, who comes from Chi
cago, says that he is the original hard
luck thief. He faces a prison SEN
tence at Trenton, N. j., all because he
put his hand in rat trap.
While looting the home of Mrs. Jul
ian Voorhees,, Meany dropped a dia-
mond ring which rolled under stove.
While cropping for the diamond in the
dark he put his hand into rat trap.
There was a sudden snap and the
burglar screamed in pain. Three of his
fingers were broken. So great was his
suffering that he made no attempt to
escape.
According to Meany, his first ex.
perience in burglary was in Chicago
three years ago. He was trembling,
and in order to steady himself leaned
against piano. Several keys sounded
and before he could flee he was con-
fronted by a woman who held re-
volver in her hand.

Representative Quit as Trustees.
John d. Rockefeller has completed
the task he set for himself in the
founding of the University of Chicago.
Public announcement was made of
"single and final gift of $4,000. 900,
which includes all the contributions
that Mr.. Rockefeller had planned to
make to the university. This sum,
which is to be paid in ten annual in
stallments, beginning Jan. 1, will make
total of approximately $35,000.0O0
that Mr.. Rockefeller has donated to
the university.
Mr.. Rockefeller says he now be-
lieves the school should be supported
and enlarged IT, the gifts of many
rather than by those of a single donor.
This he believes will be better accom-
plished If the public underst nis the
limit of his contemplated sistance.
The founding of new departments he
leaves to the trustees. as he says
funds may be furnished by other
friends of the university.
100000 has been donated to the uni
versity in addition to Mr. Rockefeller's
gifts.
With the announcement of Mr..
Rockefeller's final donation came the
resignation of John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.,
and Fred T. Gates. Mr.. Rockefeller's
personal representative, from the uni
versity board of trustees.
In enclosing these designations, Mr..
Rockefeller explained that he was only
carrying out conviction that the in
stitution should be controlled, con-
Quoted and supported by the people"
with whom up to this date he had
been simply cooperating.
Mr.. Rockefeller's idea, &c it is un-
derstood, is that he is turning over
the institution and its endowment to
Chicago and the west, and in doing so
withdraws from any further represen.
tation in it's control.
The official announcement of the
benefaction was made at the quarterly
convocation at the university. Presi-
dent Martin A. Ryerson, Of the board
of trustees, read a letter from Mr..
Rockefeller, which bore the date of
Dec. 13. and was addressed to the
president and trustees of the Univer-
sity Of Chicago.
