BIG BUSINESS DOING
I'm THE INFORMING LINE"
Since Parr Got 100000 There Is Such
Rush That Large Aprroprla-
tions Are Asked

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-The re-
ward OF 100000 to Richard Parr for
disclosing frauds practiced OH the Gus
toms service at its New York piers
has so stimulated activities lin the
informing line" that the treasury de
rartment has been compelled to ask
for large appropriation for this pur-
Jose.
In asking for deficiency appropria-
ton of $4,000, Assistant Secretary
Curtis OF the treasury department
made the following statement to the
house committee ON appropriations:
'"The real reason why, irrespective
OF the claim Of Parr, we need more
money is that we have an increased
number OF informers coming In owing
TO our own increased activities and
hope OF awards similar TO PARIS large
sum Of money. The activities In the
informing line are very much greater
thar they were three or four years
ago. principally owing TO the fact that
we are prosecuting the cases with so
much more vigor than formerly and
discovering more frauds"

TO UNIVERSITY
John D. Rockefeller Says Chicago
Institution Must Paddle Own
Canoe Hereafter.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-John ID. Rookie
teller has completed the task he set
for himself in the founding of the
University of Chicago. Announcement
was made yesterday of single and
final gift" of $l0,000,000, which in
cludes all the contributions Mr.. Rookie
teller had planned TO make To the
university. This sum, which is to be
paid in 10 annual installments, be-
ginning Jan. /, will make total OF
approximately S35,O00.00O that Mr..
Rockefeller has donated to the uni
versity.
Mr. Rockefeller says he now be-
lieves the school should be supported
and enlarged by the gifts of many
rather than those OF a simple donor
This he believes will be better ac-
complished If the public understands
the limit of his contemplated assis-
lance. The founding Of new depart
ments he leaves TO the trustees, as
he says funds may be furnished by
other friends of the university.
Up to the present time nenrly ST..
100000 has been donated to the uni
versity in addition to Mr.. Rockefel.
ler's gifts.
With the announcement of Mr..
Rockefeller's final donation came the
resignation of John ID. Rockefeller,
Jr., and Fred T. Gates, Mr. Rockefei-
ler's personal representatives, from
the university board of trustees.
Mr.. Rockefeller's idea, as 1t is I'M
derstood, is that he is turning over
the institution and its endowment TO
Chicago and the west, and in so do
ing withdraw from any further rep
resentation in it's control.
The announcement of the benefac-
ton was made at the quarterly con-
vocation at the university. President
Martin A. Ryerson, OF the board or
trustees, read a letter from Mr.. Rock
efeller which bore date OF Dec Is, and
was addressed to the president and
trustees of the University OF Chicago.
