A petition IS out to narrow Ever

same width as all east and west streets.
And it is told that Mr. Thomas is so
well pleased with the cement walk laid
on South Chestnut street that when
the Evergreen street is narrowed he
will lay four-fcOt cement walk this
side of the hedge row and throw his
tracts in the market for sale in one
acre, or more, tracts for building, no

for Thomas. 1t is a pretty location

the bull. A age was made n the

was turned into the ring to meet the

LITTLE HOPE FOR PATRICK.
Medical Men to Appeal to Governor
For His RAlaase

New York, Dec. 21-The New York
Medico-Legal Society. which has been
trying to get nother trial for Albert
Patrick. the lawyer serving a life term
for the murder Of Millionaire William
NJ. Rice. in 1900, will hear the report
of their committee selected to walt
upon Governor White. at a dinner this
evening. 1t is not believed, however.
that the report will be very encourag-
ing, altho none of the members Of the
committee will discuss the matted. The
committee, which Is headed by Clark
Bell, the well-known lawyer, wants
Governor White to commute Patrick's
sentence, pending a scientific inquiry.
This case is one Of the most famous in
the country. because of the number OF
distinguished men who are fighting
both for and against the release Of
Patrick. who is a lawyer of eminent
ability himself.

GIVES FINAL 100000.
Rockefeller Completes Proposed 70.

nOSSeuOIi0r S0mPI0t00 eT0P00O0 P0Uus
dation For Chicago Univsrsity.
Chicago, Dec. 21.-John D. Rockefel-
Ter has completed the task he set for
himself in the founding Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago. Public
ment was made yesterday of a Single
and final" gift Of $780, O0. 900. which
includes all the contributions Mr..
Rockefeller had planned. This sum, to
be pal. in ten annual installments. be-
ginning Jan. /, will make, approx
mately, $35. 700, 900 he has donated to
the university.
Mr.. Rockefeller say he now believes
the school should be supported and en-
larged by the gifts of many rather
than those Of a single donor. This,
he believes. will be better accomplished
II the public understands the limit of
his contemplated assistance. The
founding Of new departments he leaves
to the trustees. as he says funds may
be furnished by other friends Of the
university.
Up to date nearly $1,000 900 has oeen
donated to the university in addition
to Mr.. Rockefeller gifts.
With the announcement OF Mr.. Rock
efeller's final donation came the res
ignation OF John d. Rockefeller, Jr..
and Fred T. Gates, Mr.. Rockefeller's
personal representatives, from the uni
versity board Of trustees. In enclosing
these designations Mr.. Rockefeller ex-
planned he was carrying out a convic-
ton that the institution should "be
controlled. conducted and supported
by the people," with whom. up to now.
he had simply been cooperating.
