STEAMER TAGUS COLLlDES
WITH SCHOONER REPUBLIC
Schooner Is Badly Damaged but Tasus
Is Standing by to Render
Needed Help.

NEW YORK, Mar. ACCORDING to
message today from the steamer
Tagus of the Royal mail line, that
steamer collided with the schooner
Republic off Thomaston, Maine, and
the schooner was badly damaged. The
Tagus is standing by to lend aid to
the schooner. The steamer is not serl-
ously damaged. The collision occurred
in a dense fog.
After rendering all the assistance
possible the Tagus drew away from
the Republic and anchored tonight.
leaving the schooner apparently safe.
The Sidra anchored off Stapleton.
Staten island, late this afternoon with
a wrecking tug alongside.
S. S. Bogart, vice president of
wireless company, said tonight that
there had been great difficulty in get
ting word to the Tagus. either from
land or from any ship wishing to go
to her assistance, because of the per-
sistent interference of some operator
who kept sending out steady stream
of meaningless cackle. The Tagus
might have sunk with all on board
and nobody within wireless hearing,
afioat or ashore, would have been the
wiser
Mr.. Bogart said the interference had
been traced to the roof of down
town skyscraper, where there was
known to be an experimental station.
He added that Floyd Marshall, secre
tary of the wireless company, would
go to Washington to urge legislation
safeguarding established companies.

Stocks Rise to
New High Level

NEW YORK, Mar. 2-Prices of
stocks rose today to the highest level
yet touched on the recovery from the
severe decline which set in after the
first of the year. An obstinate short
interest was driven to cover and the
buying thus necessitated was an i'm
portant factor in lifting prices.
The movement against shorts show
ed evidence Of organization and the
possession Of large resources and also
to push the price movement. 1t owed
it's effectiveness however. to the small
offerings of stock for sale, and this
condition, in turn, is due to the sub
sidence of apprehension or various
accounts which was the motive for
the selling earlier in the year.
In United States Steel particularly
there were signs of activity by an
organized speculative party which
gave rise to surmises that the market
pool in that stock has resumed OPP
erations on the long side.
Yesterdays announcement Of the re-
tirement from the directorate of John
d. Rockefeller Jr., with the accom-
panying explanation that the family
holdings of the stock 'are not suffi-
GENTLY large to justify his giving any
time or attention to the affairs of the
corporation" was of a kind used with
depressing effect some times when
speculation is in a different mood. The
Improvement reported in the steel
trade is responsible partly for this
better feeling. The steps taken by the
railroad corporations to raise new
capital, with view to going forward
with improvement and betterment,
form an element in this feeling of en-
cOurag cement.
Even the copper trade came in for
share of this cheerful feeling today
by reason of the reported decline in
the European visible supply of the
metal. The decrease since February
Is was small. but was the first report
ed for many months and had added
significance from the large exports
covered. The price of the metal adj
vanced strongly in London today and
copper securities there as we'll as here
advanced.
Some disappointment was felt that
yesterdays rumors of agreement up
on a basis for the settlement of the
Philadelphia Garments strike were
without confirmation. No effect was
caused in the market however. Lit
tie attention was paid to any but ia
vorable news.
Discount rates eased in London, but
hardened in Berlin. Foreign exchange
here rose again and offerings of funds
to lend on time diminished, with
strengthening effect on interest rates.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value 81. $685. 900.
United States bonds were unchang-
ed on call

Rockefeller
To Give More

NEW YORK, Mar. 2-Star J. Muir
ply, one of the incorporators named
in the Gallinger bill to establish the
Rockefeller foundation, said today that
he did not know what endowment the
foundation would have.
1.-THE bill introduced at Washington
today" said Mr.. Murphy, sis intended
to broaden the scope of Mr. Rockefel-
ler's philanthropies and is almost iden-
teal in form with the act of congress
OF 1903. under which the Rockefeller
educational fund was authorized. The
new bill makes it possible for Mr..
Rockefeller to go into any form of
philanthropy in the world, whereas the
first endowment was specifically linn
lted:''
Estimates of Mr.. Rockefeller's past
oenefactions and present fortune vary
greatly. 1t is conceded that in charity
he has but one leader-Andrew Carne-
gie-and the best opinion is that Mr.
Rockefeller has given away something
approaching $131,OOO,OOO, as against
$162,O0O,000 for Mr.. Carnegie.
Gifts of Rockefeller.
The leading Rockefeller gifts have
been:
General educational board $4,000
900; University of Chicago, $25, OOO,-
900; Rush Medical college, $4,000, 900;
Institute for Medical Research $4,000
600; churches (known) $3,1OO,O00.
The rivalry between Rockefeller and
Carnegie in getting rid of their riches
has been of the most friendly nature.
When Carnegie gave $6,000,000 to Pitts
burg charities, Rockefeller telegraphed
him:
You have my best wishes in all
your grand efforts to help your fellow
men. ] hope and trust that our pros
porous men the country over, will be
Etimu ated to emulate your noble ex-
ample. believe that untold good would
result therefrom."
Mr.. Carnegie replied as follows:
MANY thanks, fellow worker in the
task of distributing surplus wealth
for the good of others. l clasp your
hand. Your congratulations are high
ly valued"
How much Rockefeller has left is ev-
en- harder to guess than how much he
fas given away. In 1907, Frederick
Il. Gates, one of Rockefeller's agents
in charity said:
Mr.. Rockefeller himself has author
lied the statement that his fortune
cannot exceed 200,00O,0O0 and that in
his most prosperous year his income
was not above s20,0OO,OOO His hold
ings of Standard Oil stock are not
above 20 per cent of the total outstand-
ing"
On the other hand the late H. H.
Rogers is quoted as having said il
1906: Il know for a fact that Mr.
income will exceed $780,
100000 next year.
The late Senator Hoar of Massa-
chusetts estimated the Rockefeller for
tune at $1,000. 100000.
