foundation. said to-day that he did not
yet know what endowment the founda-
ton would have.
me bill introduced to-day" said Mr.
Murphy. rs intended to broaden the
scope or Mr.. Rockefeller's philanthropies
ana ID almost Identical in form with the
act OF Congress Of 1900 under which the
Rockefeller educational fund was au-

for Mr.. Rockefeller to 30 into any form,

the hrst endowment WAS specifically linn
ited Tho fact that the incorporators
In both instances are almost identical
simply means that Mr.. Rockefeller be-
lieves their experience will be OF benefit
in future work.

How much Mr.. Rockefeller has left
is even harder to guess than how
much he has given away. In 1901
Frederick T. Gates. one OF Rockefel-

Rockefeller himself has authorized
the statement that his fortune can
not exceed 100000 900 and that in his
most prosperous year his income was
not above 10000 900. His holdings
OF Standard Oil stock are not above
20 per cent. OF the total issue out
standing
On the other hand tho late n. II.
Rogers is quoted as having said in
1905: II know for a fact that Mr..
Rockefeller's income will exceed $780,
100000 next year" The late Senator
Hoar Of Massachusetts, estimated the
Rockefeller fortune at s1,O00.000,o 900.
