Chicago, Dec. 21-John d. Rookie
feller has completed the task he set
for himself in the founding Of the Uni
versity of Chicago.
Public announcement was made OF
single and final gift" Of $l0,O0O,OO0,
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. l. will make
a total of approximately $S5.000,OO0
that Mr.. Rockefeller has donated to
the university.
Mr. Rockefeller says he now be-
heves the school should be supported
and enlarged by the gifts Of many
rather than by those Of single donor.
This he believes will be better accom-.
plished if the public understands the
limit of his contemplated assistance.
The founding of new departments no
leaves to the trustees. as he says
funds may be furnished by other
friends OF the university.
Up to the present time nearly ST.

a dog house in the rear Of his home

withdraws from any further represen'

Report in LOrimer Scandal
to Go to Senate.
PROCEEDINGS KEPT SECRET
Senators Want to See Testimony
and Will Oppose the White
Wash" When the Report
is Presented.

Washington, Dec. 81. -- What may
prove formidable opposition to the
adoption of any report to the senate
generating Senator Lorimer as the re-
suit of the investigation OF charges OF
bribery In connection with his cleo
ton by the Illinois legislature to sue
coed Senator Hopkins. is said to have
de, eloped on the senate floor.
Several senators are declared TO
have agreed that they would compel
postponement OF the whole subject I'M
iii after the holiday recess so that all
members might have an opportunity
to digest the testimony as well as the
report Of the committee on privileges
and elections.
Senator Burrows. its chairman. cali
ed the committee on privileges and
elections together. and soon after the
adjournment 1t was reported that he
had been authorized to report the LoF-
inner affair to the senate In accord
ancc with the findings of the sub-com-
mittee.
Great dissatisfaction is said to have
been expressed because OF the failure
Of the committee to have printed the
findings Of the subcommittee. 1t Is as
sorted that there never has been an
investigation In which such diligent ef-
fort has been made to keep the pro
ceedings secret.
According to authoritative informa-
ton. the subcommittee was a unit In
declaring that there had been no evil
deuce that Senator Lorimer had been
involved in any manner in purchasing
votes OF individual members OF the
legislature. but that there is some diff
ference Of opinion as to what would
have been the result II all OF the
tainted" votes had been eliminated.
II developed also that some mem
bers Of the committee believed that
the subcommittee should have report
ed merely whether bribery had been
resorted to In the election In which
Mr.. Iorimcr was successful, and that
the instructions given by the senate In
the resolution authorizing the investi'
CATION had not called for a report OF
evoncration for Mr.. Lorimer.
Regardless Of this fact no one could
be found who was willing to bring in
a minority report. Although Senators
Frazier and Hepburn. who were mem
bers Ct the subcommittee. filed indi-
vidual statements. they did not dis
sent from the findings OF the sub-com-
mittee that there was no evidence that
Mr.. Lorimer had been a party to cor
ruptlon II any was practicd in the cleo
ton. Their Individual statements dealt
wholly with the testimony involving
members OF the Illinois legislature.
