IS\ is Mr.. Carnegie's battle
H. - vs. \ cry, and as retort Mr..
- ss..ssssu,Nsa-y Rockefeller has often
declared: NO one shall outgive me.
Theirs is not a fight like those that
Wall street so often sees-neither
one Is trying to ruin the other In this
game of money. 1t is fine and friend
ly rivalry between the Pittsburg
ironmaster and the Cleveland oil king
to see which one will be able to give
away the most money during his life
time. At the moment Mr.. Carnegie
leads by about SJ,000,000, but nobody
can tell when Mr.. Rockefeller will
come back at him with some more
millions that again the lead, which
neither one ever succeeds in keeping
long.
Up to short time ago Mr.. Rookie
Teller led the giving game, led by
something like $5,000,000, but Mr.. Car
negie on December IA took 1t from
him by throwing into the balance $10.-
100000, giving for the establishment
of international peace. With this gift
came the appointing of board of
trustees to work for international ar
bitration and the abolition of war.
which Mr.. Carnegie calls degrading
evil" This put him ahead some
s5,000,000 or so, and UP to the mo-
ment of writing he still leads. But
any day Mr., Rockefeller may be ex-
pected to come back at him.
Munlficent Gift to Chicago.
I AS It was just one week after Mr..
Carnegie's newest gift Mr.. Rockefeller
did make the University of Chicago
$40 100000 richer, but this was mere
ly a transfer of millions. He ordered
is10,000,000 out of his $53 100000 fund
for general education to be paid
to the university, at the rate of ST.
10000 a year for ten years. 1t was
not really an additional gift, so his
sum total of gifts for all purposes
still stays at $174,411. 900, while Mr..
Carnegie's amounts to s179,S00,000.
That is the situation today as re-
CARDS two masters Of many millions,
However, nobody expects them to end
their days in the poorhouse, for the
simple reason that their incomes pile
up faster than they can spend the
money.
The unique contest started about
80 years ago. The two multi-mil.
lionaires have been at 1t ever since
matching each others gifts with gifts
and little more. For general educa,
ton Mr.. Rockefeller has given the
mighty sum of s53 100000 Mr.. Car
negie is only a million behind with
his 1852 100000 for libraries. Mr.. Car.
negie gave $16,000,000 for the Carne
gle institute In Pittsburg and $4,000,
900 for the Carnegie institute IL
Washington, a total of $4,000, 900
And now Mr., Rockefeller adds $40,
100000 to the $4,000 600 he has al
ready given to the University Of Chi
cago, going Mr.. Carnegie $1,000, 900
better
Though announced on December 81
Mr. Rockefeller's transfer of the SO,
100000 to the Chicago institution O.
learning was really made Decembe,
13, and the very next day came Mr.
Carnegie's ten millions for peace
Mr.. Rockefellers latest gift was an
nounced on October IS last, when HI
added $3,82o,000 to the 100000 b,
had already given to the Institute 70
Medical Research. Since that date
score of gifts of from $50, 900 to $3.50
900 have been announced, but no
one that can rival Mr. Carnegie's $40
100000 in one lump sum. 1t is a do
lar to a doughnut that Mr.. RockefeI
Ter will soon come back at Mr.. Cal
negie.
Jealousy Over Gifts.
Among his friends Mr.. Rockefelle
makes no secret Of his determinatio
not to let Mr.. Carnegie outgive hin
He confesses that he Is jealous of MI
Carnegie's world wide philanthropies
He refuses to discuss Mr.. Carnegie
gifts publicly, just as Mr. Carnegie re
fuses to refer to Mr.. Rockefeller's. /
