CONGRESS SAYS o. h.
Bill Introduced Permitting ROckefel-
Ter to Establish PhilanthrOpic
Foundation.

New York, March 2.-Starr ]. Muir
ply, one of the incorporators named
in the Gallinger bill to establish the
Rockefeller foundation, said today
that he did not yet know what en-
dowment the foundation would have.
"The bill introduced today" said
Mr.. Murphy, "is intended to broaden
the scope of Mr.. Rockefeller's phil
anthropies and is almost identical in
form with the act of Congress of 1903
under which the Rockefeller educa-
tional fund was authorized. The new
bill makes it possible for Mr.. Rookie
feller to go into any form of philan-
thropy in the world, whereas the
first endowment was specifically lin
tied. The fact that the incorporators
in both instances are almost identical
simply means that Mr. Rockefeller
belives their experiences will be of
benefit in future work"
Estimates CT Mr.. Rockefeller's ben
efactions and fortune vary largely. 1t
is conceded that in charity he has
but one leader-Andrew Carnagie-
and the best opinion is that Mr.. Roc
kefeller has given away about $131,-
100000, as against $162,000,000 for
Mr.. Carnagie. The leading Rockefel-
Ter gifts have been:
General Education Board, $4,000, 900
University of Chicago 80. 100000
Rush Medical College ... 100000
Institute for Medical Re-
search ......... 100000
Churches (known) .. 100000
How much Mr.. Rockefeller has left
is even harder to guess than how
| much he has given away. In 1907
/ Frederick T. Gates, one of Rockefel-
ler's agents in charity, said: Mr.
Rockefeller himself has authorized
the statemnet that his fortune cannot
exceed $200,000,000 and that in his
most prosperous year his income was
not above $20,00O,0OO His holdings
of Standard Oil stock are not above
20 per cent of the total issue out
standing"
On the other hand, the late II. II
Rogers is quoted as having said in
1906. II know for a fact that Mr.
Rockefellers income will exceed $780,
100000 next year" The late Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts estimated the
Rockefeller fortune at $1,000, ,OOO, 900

TO Raise PercherOns.

Pownal farmers are turning their
attention more and more to the rails
ing of valuable horses. The Percheron
seems TO be general Iavorite and
they Dire just the kind that make the
best farm horses Ind are also the
kind that city express companies
are looking for. Edward Greene of
Eas. Pownal is having fine success in,
raising Percherons. He has just sold
for a good price to Stamford parties
Percheron colt seven months old
that weighed 725 pounds. This cold Is
one of the finest of the breed. Mr..
Greene has a two-year-old colt of the
same type that weighs 1900 pounds.
The high price of draft horses should
lead many farmers to raise their own
horses as well as others for sale.
