new SUBSIDY BILL.
Gallinger Measure Is Ordered Favor
ably Reported to Senate.

Washington. March By practically
an unanimous vote the senate commit
tee on commerce today ordered a IA
Vorable report on the Gallinger bill to
authorize the postmaster general to
give increa sed pay to mail lines, eStab-
hShed between the United States and
ports in South America. the Philippines,
Japan, China and Australia. This meas
IRE is in lieu of a general ship subsidy
measure which supporters of plans to
increase the merchant marine have been
unable to push through congress.
Under the act of March g. 1891, the
postmaster generals authorized to pay
for ocean mail service at the rate of
"a per outward mile to vessels of the
first-class, 81 to vessels of the second
class, and 81 to vessels of the third
class. The Gallinger bill would permit
the postmaster general to give the 81
rate to vessels of the second-class and
the 81 rate to vessels of the third
class in order to encourage the estab-
lishmen- OF steamship lines to the coun-
tries named.
Every member of the committee voted
for this bill except one Democrat, which
is greater support than has ever been
1t is expected the bill will pass the
senate without much opposition, but in
the house probably will run counter
to the views of the members who sup
port the Humphrey subsidy bill.
Statements in favor of the Gallinger
bill, were made to the committee by
Winthrop L. Marvin of Boston, who has
been giving this subject attention for
many years and Commissioner Cham
berlain of the bu94au of navigation of
the department Of commerce and labor.

RIVAL RICH men.
Race Between Rockefeller and Carne-
gle in Giving Away Money.

New York, March Starr j. Muir
ply, one of the incorporators named
in the Gallinger bill to establish the
| Rockefeller foundation said he did not
yet know what endowment the foun-
| dation would have. THE bill intro
duced at Washington, said Mr.. Muir
ply, lis intended to broaden the
scope of Mr.. Rockefeller's philan-
thropies, and is almost identical in
form with the act of congress in 1903
under which the Rockefeller educa-
tional fund was authorized. The new
bill makes it possible for Mr.. Rookie
| Teller to go into any form of phil
| anthropy in the world, whereas the
| first endowment was specifically linn
ited."
Estimates of Mr.. RockefeIIer's past
benefactions and present fortune vary
| largely. It is conceded that in charity
he has but one leader-Andrew Car
negie and the best opinion is that
Mr.. Rockefeller has given away some
thing approximating $131, 100000 as
against 1852, 100000 for Mr.. Carnegie
The leading Rockefeller gifts have
been: General educational board $53,-
600, 900; University of Chicago $25,-
000,0O0; Rush Medical college &c.
1000; Institute for Medical Re
search $4,S00,OOO; churches (known)
$S,1OO.OO0.
The rivalry between Rockefeller
and Carnegie is getting rid of their
nature. When Carnegie gave &c.
100000 to Pittsburg charities, Rookie
Teller telegraphed him:
You have my best wishes in all
your grand efforts to help your fellow
men. / hope and trust that our pros
porous men the country over will be
stimulated to emulate your noble ex-
ample I believe untold good would
result therefrom.'
Mr.. Carnegie replied as follows:
Many thanks, fellow worker in the
task of distributing surplus wealth for
the good of others. I clasp your hand
Your congratulations are highly val
ued.''
How much Rockefeller has left is
even harder to guess than how much
he has given away. In 1907 Brede-
rick I. Gates, one of Rockefeller'S
agents in charity said:
Mr.. Rockefeller himself has auth
orized the statement that his fortune
cannot exceed $500. 100000 and that
in his most prosperous year his in
come was not above $4,000, 900. His
holdings of Standard Oil stock are not
above 20 per cent of the total issue
outstanding"
On the other hand the late H. H.
Rogers is quoted as having said in
1906:
81 know for fact that Mr.. Rookie
fellers income will exceed $4,000, 900
next year"
The late Senator Hoar of Massachu-
sets, estimated the Rockefeller for
tune at $1,Oo0,000,00

THREE ENTRIES FILED.
Billiard, Bowen and Jordan Qualify
This Morning.

Two petitions of entry into the city
commissioners race and one for mayor
this morning.
The petition of J.. b Billiard of North
Topeka contained almost 900 names.
Two hundred of them are some of the
most successful business men in To-
peka. 1t is one of the strongest in the
hands of the city clerk.
Frank c. Bowen also filed his petit
ton. Mr. Bowen has been almost q
dark horse in the race He has made
little fuss about his candidacy but
from the looks of the petition he will
be a strong contender.
The third petitioner was c. E. Jordan,
councilman from the First ward. If
his petitions prove his popularity he is
making a noise like commissioner.

BARNES IS LENIENT.
Will Not Seek to Gust Company That
Begins Suit.

superintendent Charles Barnes and
Attorney General Jackson have decid-
ed not to take advantage of the law
and seek to Gust the German Alliance
Insurance company from the state,
provided this company seeks to en-
join the superintendent from enforc-
ing the newinsurance law. These state
officials are willing to try the insur-
ance case in court and fairly test the
validity of the law. But if the COM
pany which is fighting the law in
sists upon an injunction then the in
surance superintendent will retaliate
by attempting to Gust the company
from the state under the provisions of
the law which forbids a company from
seeking relief at first hand from the
law in the federal court.
The German Alliance is the COM
pany decided upon by the insurance
companies doing business in the state
to test the new insurance law which
the companies claim gives too much
power to the superintendent. The
German Alliance brought suit against
the superintendent last week, alleg-
ing that the insurance law is unconsti-
tutional.
