tion. The incorporators named in the
bill are: John D. Rockefeller, John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., Fred T Gates, Starr
J. Murphy, Charles o. Heydt.
Others May Join.
Others may be associated with them.
From all that can be learned of what
is back of this movement to establish
the Rockefeller foundation, it is un-
derstOOd that it will be. in one sense.
a rival of the Carnegie foundation,
which has its headquarters here. The
purpose Of the Rockefeller foundation,
however, is much the broader Of the
two.
While the purpose of the incorpora-
tion of the Rockefeller foundation is
not fully understood here, it is known
that it is intended to be a medium
through which Mr. Rockefeller will
spend millions for charity, for educa-
tion and for various movements cal
culated to help the cause of human
progress.
Established Education Board.
It will be recalled that Mr.. Rookie
feller was the prime mover in estab-
fishing the general education board.
This board is Incorporated by act IF

Through the general education board
alone Mr.. Rockefeller has spent $53.-
100000. This does not include allsof
his contributions to beneficient pur-

Work of Day in Congress

Washington, March 3.-Following is
a summary of the proceedings of the
two houses of congress yesterday,
taken from the official records:
SENATE-The senate passed bills au-
thorizing the issuance of $4,000, 900
worth of certificates of indebtedness for
the completion of irrigation projects
already begun and providing for the
purchase of S10,OO0.O0O worth of real
estate in Washington for the future
uses of the government. Senators Hey
burn. Bradley and Sutherland spoke on
the postal savings bank bill, the two
last named favoring the passage of that
measure, while Senator Hepburn pro-
posed a substitute for the pending bill.

authorized to speak for Mr.. Rockefel
Ter. But there is no doubt that he pro-
poses to spend his millions. He al
ready has spent $53,0OO,0OO through
the general education board. l have
no doubt that Mr.. Rockefeller intends
to give away his money on scale
greater than any other living man. l
am not acquainted with all of the de-
tails of his plan, but it is expected
that Washington will be made the
headquarters of the movement"
Wants Results while Alive.
It is declared to be the purpose Of
Mr.. Rockefeller to spend while he is
alive the greater part of the vast for
tune he has built up. He is said to
desire that It shall be spent before his
death so that he can see the results
of its distribution.
While drawn generally along the
lines of the act Incorporating the Car
negie foundation, the Rockefeller foun-
dalton bill goes much further, since
the Carnegie foundation is designed
chiefly to provide for a scientific re-
tirement and pensioning of superan-
nuated teachers. AS in the case of the
latter institution, however, the Rookie
feller foundation will be authorized 70
receive and dispense gifts of money
other than those obtained from the
original endowment, the amount of
which has not been fixed.

Real Nature of the
Measure.
FULL OF FRAILTTES
Make 1t Appear Corporations

Pleased Under 1t.

Washington, March 3.-Declaring
the administration railroad bill would
impair the efficiency of the existing
statutes and the creation of the court
of commerce, which the measure In
wolves, would mean an expenditure
wholly unnecessary" Senators Cum
Minis and Clapp today submitted the
minority report of the senate inter
state commerce committee.
Subject to a1nauence.,
The report holds the creation of the
court to be fundamentally wrong and
reminds the senate of the tremendous
influence which will surround the Sc
lection Of such a tribunal" In the last
three and one-half years the minority
report asserts there have been just 20
cases In which such a court would
have had Jurisdiction.
Could Da as They PIense.
In pointing out some things the SEN
ators think make the bill ineffective
they declare it should include all cor
poration common carriers and that
there is nothing to prevent holding a
corporation from issuing all the stocks
and bonds it may pleace. What is
termed the most Objectionable and
harmful features" is the proposed de-
parture from the method of defending
suits brought by carriers TO make IN
operative the orders of the commits

The minority senators claim the

railway lines would permit water and
rail routes TO consolidate. would allow
a railroad to buy up competitive
steamship lines and that in effect all
railroads in the United States could
be merged under a single corporation.
provided they would be operated by

Would Amend Inv.
The Cummins and Clapp report
would amend the existing law to make
all holding corporations come under

interest in q common carrier.

Revolution Kept Alive in

ESTRADA Is DEFEATED
Fact Finally Admitted that
Madriz Has Triumphed,
Despite Hostility.

San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, March
3.-News is received of the surrender
of 280 insurgents under Chamorro and
Mena. The remnants of the provisional
forces are In full fieight and it is de-
ciared here that If the United States
government would stop the Importa-
would end at once.
ABANDON ALL SUPPLIES.
After occupying San ViVente, Vas
quez sent a strong column in pursuit
of the rebels over the trail towards
Managua- The insurgents had fled,
abandoning all supplies. Chamorro,
Mena and the other chiefs are trying
to reach Rama.
Blue6elds, Nicaragua, March 3,-The
insurrectionGry movement headed by
Estrada has been practically crushed.
The insurgents campaign in the west
petered out and nothing is left to the
PROFESSIONALS but to resort 10 guerrilla
warfare, encouraged by the desperate
hope that the United States may yet
intervene in the wish to end the dis
turbed situation in the republic. For
the first time today the correspondent
and a few others were told the true
situation.
Public in Dark.
The public generally is still in the
dark and pinning its faith to false re-
ports of insurgent successes. These
reports have been sent broadcast with
tte> -deliberace purpose 81 fnnU6hc1ng~
opinion in the United States and else
where and of attracting recruits from
the governments forces.
Campaign a Failure.
1t is now admitted Chamorro's cam
paign was a failure. He had hoped
the interior would welcome and rein
force the insurgents arms. This was
possible up to the time President Ze-
laya resigned. His resignation and
the election Of Madriz appears to have
satisfied the people of the interior and
the west generally, and when Estra-
da's army reached the heart of the
country they were given a Iukewarm
reception and little or no aid.
Defeat Is Admitted.
Bluefields, Nicaragua, March s.
News of the crushing defeat of Gen
eral Chamorro at Tisma, Feb. %,
leaked out here today and was Of
ficially confirmed. Chamorro's force
was wiped out and he barely escaped
with a handful Of followers. His loss
in killed, wounded and captured is
500. He estimates his opponents
loss at 1000.
Out of Ammunition.
The defeat was due to giving out
of his cartridges. AS military men
ace the provisional army now seems /
to merit no higher classification than
that of guerrillas.
