REPORTS TO RED CROSS HEAD QUARTERS SHOW GREATEST IN- TEREsT IN SALE OF CHRISTMAS SEALS ALL OVER COUNTRY

Washington, December 20.-(Special.) ) Reports from the headquarters of the American Red Cross given out today indicate that at the beginning of the last week of the sale of Christmas seals. nearly 35,000,00O have been sold and that the prospects are bright for a sale of more than 50,000,000.
 The actual number of seals sold to date is nearly 15,0O0, 900 in excess of the entire number sold in 1909. and is al- ready nearly three times the sale of 1908. If the sale this week keeps up at the same rate as since December I, the national authorities estimate that over s500,000 will be added to the tuberculosis funds in all parts of the country. This will be double the amount realized last year.
 Engaged in this campaign for sell ing Red Cross seals Is an army of over 100000. including men, women and children of every rank and station. Agents have been appointed in one or more places in every state. except Idaho and Montana. Among the groups and institutions which are assisting in the movement are the -Tubercu- losis societies, Red Cross chapters. women's clubs, labor unions, lodges, schools, banks, theatres, department stores, hospitals and innumerable other agencies. Thousands of dollars worth of advertising Is being donated to the and many millions of circu- lars are being distributed to remind people to buy Red Cross seals.

with the urgent request of the board of trustees. He has never suggested tie appointment or removal of any professor. Whatever views may have been expressed by members of the faculty he has never indicated eithe { assent nor dissent He has never in- terfered directly or indirectly with that freedom of opinion and expression which is the vital breath of a univer- sity, but has adhered without deviation to the principle that. while 1t is im- porrant that university professors in their conclusions be correct. 1t Is more important that in their teachings they be free.
 Principle Maintained More significant still this principle has been maintained even in his atti- tude toward the teaching of a sub- jccts so intimate as religion wherein tho mind is keenly sensitive to differ enc es of opinion Although at times doctrines have been voiced In the uni : versity which traverse those the found CT is known to hold he has never shown desire to restrain that freedom which is quite as precious in theology as in other fields of thought.
 Such a relationship between a great benefactor and the institution which he has founded affords a motto for edu- ce tional benefaction through all time to come.
 Tn contemplating the severance of this long continued relationship, so gracious on his part and rendered de- li&nfful by so many acts of personal courtesy, the trustees are unable to express their appreciation of munIfi- cence so vast. exercised in a spirit so fine. It is the conjunction of the aci and the spirit of the act which has made 1t possible to create and maintain tho university and the trustees hope that through the ages to comes the University of Chicago by training youth in character and in exact learning and in extending the field of human knowl- edge may justify all that has been done by the founder"

$1O,O00,O0O MORE GIVEN TO UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
CONTINUED FROM PAGE D

FtOM fAGE -~~~~>~---~----------- for this wonderful gift. It assures to the university for many years to come con- tinuous development which cannot fail to inspire confidence and receive further impetus through the aid Of other bene- factors.
 Tn withdrawing from an active inter est in the affairs of the university the founder has left no cause for disappoint- ment on the material side, but there are sentimental considerations which cannot be overlooked and in measuring the bene- fits which the university has derived from his interest in it's welfare there must be taken into account not only the great sum of his benefactions and the wisdom with which they were bestowed, but also the constant encouragement derived from his personal interest and sympathy.
 Mingled, however, with the regret that MT Rockefeller should deem it wise to sever the ties which have united the founder to the university there is recog- milton of the force of the reasons given for this action, and there is the convic- ton that in thus anticipating all that he had in mind to do for the university, and withdrawing his representatives from the board of trustees, Mir Rockefeller ,s moved solely by a desire to promote the welfare of the institution he founded. The board of trustees, in adopting a rcro- lution expressing its grateful apprecia- -tIon of MT. Rockefellers generosity orr dered spread upon the records the fol- lowing minute, a copy of which will be engrossed and delivered to Mr. Rocke- feler by a special committee of the board.
 Minute of the Board
 J The minute prepared by the board of trustees reads: Eg The board of trustees of the Univer- sity of Chicago accepts the gift made by MT Rockefeller in his letter of De- csinber 13, 1910, and pledges itself to carry out in the spirit as well as in the letter the conditions accompany ing 1t.
 Tt is now 21 years since, in May, 1899, MT. Rockefeller made his first gift to the University of Chicago. The present gift marks, therefore, the com- pletion of a significant period in the history of the university throughout which he has co-operated with other friends of the institution to place 1t on a permanent foundation. This final gif. will make the total amount which the university will have received from its founder approximately s35,0U0, ,0O0.
 We know of no parallel in the his- tory of educational benefactions of g'fts so munificent bestowed on a sim gle institution of learning. But unioue as they are in amount, they are still more remarkable for the spirit In which they have been bestowed. MT. ockefeller has never permitted the university to bear his name and con- senred to be called it's founder only

WOMAN HANDLES HER
 CASE REMARKABLY Mrs. Turnbull Is Suing for Part of Turfman's Property IS MATCH FOR LAWYERS Mrs. TurnbuH Admits Writing Letter 10 California Bank President Which
 Is Presented to Court in
 Evidence
IS MATCH FOR LAWYERS

Los Angeles, Cal, December 20.-More letters came out of the past today to confront Mrs. Lillian Ashley Turnbuli star witness in the "Lucky' Baldwin will case, but with remarkable fortitude, ready wit and a wariness that carried her safely over traps, the woman who is fighting for $2,5O0,O0o as her daughters share of the turfman's estate, not only met the attacks of the cross examiner, but freduently-f fought back.
 All morning she faced slashing on- slaught calmly, although the questions frequently made the other women in court blush. Then, when apparently by agree ment, attorneys for the opposing side treated hir with more consideration, she started to heckle them.
 "Yes, I said those letters were forg- cries." she declared, referring to letters concerning her relations with Colonel AL bert Pope, a millionaire manufacturer of Boston. If you ask me why I say SO, ask MT. James R. Wood. who forged so r:any others"
 James R. Wood is a Boston detective. who, according to the testimony. ar- ranged a settlement between Pope and Mrs. Turnbull in 1894, when Pope ,pur- chased for her a house in Pasadena.
 Wood was in court and when Mrs "urnbull expressed doubt as to the au- thenticity of one of her alleged letters, Gavin McNab the cross examiner, said he would refresh her memory by giving her glimpse of Wood.
 Calls Wood ''wicIkedest Manw
 Mrs. Turnbull identified Wood as he arose in court and said:
 I wish to say MT. Wood is the wicked est man ever knew"
 McNab, in cross-examination sscontinued his efforts to show the jury that Mrs Turnbull had not been "a spotless wo- man until she yielded to the blandish- ments of Lucky Baldwin" as she al- leses. In this connection he Introduced a letter which she admitted she had written to Lewis Leach, president of the Farmers bank of Fresno. Cal, in 1889 In her previous testimony the witness said that this letter was one of series written by her to various horsemen
 McNab declared the estate had scored a tactical advantage by Mrs. Turnbulls admission of this letter. It was the only ono, he asserted, that she refused to admit at the trial of her seduction suit against Baldwin several years ago. He added that all the other letters, which. in this case she declared to be fcfgeries, she then admitted to be gen uine.
 In one of these alleged forgeries oc- cured passage describing an oath Mrs. Turnbull took regarding the pa- tern'tv of Miss Beatrice Anita Turnbull, tn riaiDun ia tha present case. Me- NJ said the eoss-exa--'rAfira e% IT. abidl psosasls woud c7ailsAs isFn

Census Returns Not. satisfactorx

Official report from the census bureau giving Bessemer's population to be 1O,- e64 was the cause of much comment and much disappointment was expressed a, the figures. It was expected that the census returns would show a population of over 12000. There are within three mile limit according to information ob- tained by school census poll list and voting strength, population of nearly 25,- GOO. It is the consensus of opinion that should another count be ordered the re- suit would be much greater than the fig tres stated above. It is not believed, however. that this will be done and the count will stand as announced,
