Huron College Secures
Permanent Fund
in the State
ENDED SATURDAY
With 10000 to Raise on the
Last Day 1t is Finally
Completed

Huron college is the happy pos
'cessor OF u 100000 endowment
fund.
This information was telephoned
to Mr w S. Hill, of this city, Sum
day, as the result of the closing up
of the big campaign Saturday night,
Mr.. Hills is member OF the board
of trustees, and is also member
of the committee which wifi have
charge of the big endowment fund.
The campaign has been waged for
some time in the efforts to raise this
fund, and while it was monumental
job it was finally accomplished. Sat
urday afternoon there still remain
ed $4,000 to be collected to round
out the half million, and it was sup-
posed that every bit of ground had
been gone over in the several cam
vases that have been made. With
the goal so nearly reached the COM
mittee made another round, and its
efforts were rewarded by securing
$4,000 in Huron, and the balance
elsewhere, so that by Saturday night.
the time limit when the other dona-
tions became available, the entire
amount had been subscribed. This
gives Huron college the largest en-
dowment of any college in the state.
John d. Rockefeller made dona-
tion of 100000. and yames J. Hill
presented $4,000. The pledges
made by the subscribers were tho
effect that they would give a certain
sum of money for the endowment
fund, provided that on or, before
Nov. IL, 1911, the total sum of
100000 in cash or good pledges
could be secured
All towns in the state will re-
joice with Huron college on the
splendid success which has come to
the institution in placing it on bet
ter financial basis than ever before,
and which practically assures tho
future financial success of the insti-
tuition. The success of Huron col
lege will act as an impetus to other
college towns which are engaged in
pushing the endowment fund, and
they will feel that what Huron has
done can be done by Others

ACCUSE CHARTER TINKERERS
Charged with disappearing
the Proposed Changes.


Albany. Sept lS.-In a statement issued
tonight regarding the amendments to the
New York CITY charter Robert S. Binkerd,
secretary of the City Club, and Lawrence
Tanner Of the Citizens Union, charge the
legislators who have been tinkering with
the charter with incorporating the pro-
posed changes. They point out that two
very important provisions regarding the
budget and appropriations have been
slipped i'm with those amendments, and not
a word has been said about them by the
charter tnkerers.
one of these provisions permits the
Mayor to veto items in the budget The
Board Of Estimate is to have five days to
override his veto and may take only one
vote on the question. Also. aew pro-
vision has been put in that only one vote
may be taken by the board on question
Of overriding the Mayors proposed sus-
pensive veto on resolutions Of the board
involving appropriations. The statement
follows:
The chairman Of the Assembly Cities
Committee has refused a hearing upon the
final draft of the proposed new charter 10
which 15g printed pages OF amendments
were introduced in the Legislature tonight.
II has already been publicly charged that
those responsible for the former draft
sought TO mislead citizens as TO It's CON
tents and to Jam through new charter
under false pretences.
The amendments introduced t"-nl-ht'
taken in connection with the statement
published this morning, would Indicate thh'
these tactics have not been abandoned. In
the mornings statement, as pubhShed, no
mention is made of any increase in the
Mayors power. To-nghts amendments,
however. contain the following:
Insert Section 130-Mayor's action on
annual estimate" This section then pro-
vides that the Mayor may veto items OF
the annual budget. and gives the Board OF
Estimate five days IN which such veto may
be Overridden.
This section further contains this provi-
sion: Upon such reconsideration out one
Again, with regard to the Mayors sus
pensiye veto on resolutions involving ap
propratiOns, the charter revisers nave pro
vided that the Board Of Estimate may Fole
but once on overriding such veto.
The committees statement, as pubhShel
il this mornings Times said:
"The Department Of Docks aud FerTlc!
remains as now constituted, ana the pro
visions OF the existing charter requiring
the advertising Of a hearing upon a pro
posed lease of dock property are contlh'
ued."
tonight TO Section 9il, entitled 'DOcf
Leases" shows hat this charter in IL
fral form continues to omit the essential
safeguards Of Section S2j and Section s6IA
of the existing charter These require al
advance i'm compensation when dock leases
are renewed. and provide for fullest pub
icity i'm connection with the leasing OF
docks.
We respectfully and earnestly urge the
Legislature TO overrulc the decision Of the
Assembly Cities Committee chairman, anc
see that a hearing upon this charter as re-
vised is afforded TO the citizens OF New

DAMRON TESTIFIES AGAIN
Calls Cropsey's Questions Silly"
at Union Bank Hearing.

William G. DamrOn, formerly a member
OF the executive committee of the board
of directors Of the Union Bank, who at
previous hearings has proved himself a
witness with a 'hazy" memory and in
distinct recollection in regard to details,
occupied most Of the time on the witness
stand at the resumption Of the investiga-
ton Of the banks affairs before Edward
l.. Dodge, Deputy Bank Superintendent in
Part l Of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn
yesterday.
Mr. Damron continued in his dislnclina-
ton TO answer many questions asked by
James G. Cropsey. who is conducting the
examination Of witnesses, on the ground
that they were Of a personal nature and
irrelevant TO the investigation. He charac-
terized some Of Mr.. Cropsey's questions in
that respect as SILLY"
Mr.. Cropsey questioned the witness at
length in regard to the consolidation of the
Peoples Bank and the Mechanics and
Traders Bank with the Union Bank The
witness could offer little information as to
the details Of the mergers.
Reading from the banks reports 10 the
State Banking Department in 1901, Mr.
Cropsey showed that the mysterious note
for $4,000, which was originally carried by
the bank for Mr. Sullivan and later split
up and Endorsed by all the members Of the
executive committee was entered on the
reports as a legitimate asset Of the bank
The note has never been paid and its
validity has been seriously questioned. No
consideration has been shown for IT.
LAS one Of the directors who signed and
swore to these reports did you believe
there was any liability on this note"
asked Mr.. CrOpsey.
Il am not here to testify TO my beliefs
but only TO the facts TO the best OF my
recollection" the witness replied. CURLY.
"Then I am compelled to ask you, In
view of the attitude you take, whether
these reports were false" said Mr. Crop
sey.
ITO the best OF my knowledge and BELIEF
they were true" replied Mr.. Damron.
Assemblyman Goldstein went to Albany
yesterday afternoon. lie said that he
would ask Governor Dix for an executive
subpoena to compel Edward NJ. Groat TO
appear as a witness at the investigation
A committee Of depositors would appear
before the Governor this week TO protest II
the subpoena was not forthcoming, 1t was
said.
The hearing adjourned until Friday
morning at 10 o'clock.
Edward NJ Grout filed an affidavit in the
Supreme Court Brooklyn, yesterday tax

DEBATE PROPOSED CHARTER
Brooklyn Men Hear Corporation
Counsel, Pro; H. Bruere, Con.

Tho Manufacturers Association Of New
York, which has its Offices and assembly
room in Brooklyn, took up the proposed
new charter last night by means Of
debate between Corporation Counsel Wat
son for the affirmative and Henry Bruere,
of the Bureau OF Municipal Research, for
the negative.
Mr.. Watson ex.olled the proposed charter
a. the best ever offered the city, and as
serted that from so to 30 per cent Of it was
taken from the Wins commission draft.
The Corporation Counsel also gave an eX-
nlanation Of the question of the so-called
franchise veto power Of the Mayor, and
said that same power had been In the
Mayors hands for at least a generation.
Mr.. Bruere took up first the statement
that the proposed charter was so largely
made, up of the ideas Of the Wins COM
mission.
They have ,urned away from the fun
damcntaI ideas If the Ivlns commission
said Mr.. Bruere They disposed Of the
Wins idea Of abolishing borough autonomy;
they did not turn to the Board Of Estimate
rs the central power of the city; they did
not give the Board Of Estimate more
power. and those things were the ideas
closest 10 the hearts Of the WINS COM
mission"
Turning 10 the Corporation Counsel's as
sertion that the Mayor had previously pos
sessed the franchise veto power Mre Bruere
said the new charter trainers had gone out
Of their way TO "redefine franchise TO in
cIude rapid transit contracts" Up to the
present time. he added, there had never
been any idea that the Mayor could sit in
the Board Of Estimate and vote upon these
transit contracts and then turn around
later and nullify the action Of the board by
refusing his separate consent and APP
prevail"
Bear in mind" said Mr. Bruere that
the first draft Of the charter which was
pent 10 Albany from the Corporation Coun-
sells Office did not cary the section, which
was later inserted 10 clear away any am
higuity.' As Il was explained. That section
was inserted after the differences Of opin-
Ion between certain members Of the Board
OF Estimate arose over the new subway
proposals"
Mr.. Watson devoted a short argument to
q comparison Of the proposed gift Of power
o. the Mayor 10 appoint an acting mayor
for sixty days. with the power now en-
ioyed by the Controller Of appointing his
FIRST deputy as acting controller, but Mr..
Rruere pointed out that the proposed in
crease Of the Mayors power would change
the entire effect Of the peoples will, as ex-
pressed by their ballots. when they elected
a certain individual as President OF the
Board OF Aldermen with the understanding
that he would become acting mayor in the
absence Of the Mayor
come fifty odd members OF the Manufact-
urers' Association and their friends heard
the debate, which was presided over by
klmet r. Latson. Of the WINS commission.
