FACTS ABOUT EASTER.


From the East.
The custom Of putting on new clothes
for Easter is very ancient and is COM
mon to the great festivals Of all rell-
gions. On the central feast Of the Mos
lem year 1t is considered absolutely
necessary for every man and woman
to wear new clothes.
The "Easter dress" and the EASTER
hat" Of modern times, so widely adver-
tlsed by our city merchants are there
fore not in any way an incongruity,
but emphasize the spirit of the day
quite as much as the easter egg"
which is supposed to typify the germ
Of a resurrection Of life
SO that as all nature Is renewed and
regarmented in the spring It Is fitting
that mankind should follow. Unable
to renew the body, man does the next
best thing aud dons new garb,
The name Easter, according to the
Venerable Bede, is heather in its ORR
gin, so called after the Saxon goddess
Eastre, who was worshiped with pc
cullar ceremonies in the month Of
April. In the eastern church 1t is call
ed Pascha or the holy Pasch, which
will be observed In the Russian and
Greek churches this year on April IA,
the Jewish passover falling on April 20.
In the second century there was a
great dispute between the Aslatic and
Latin churches regarding the proper
date for the celebration Of the resur-
rection Of Christ. AS far as the Latin
church was concerned, II was settled
once and for all at the council Of Nicaea
In the year 324 The fact that the an
cient British church, when Augustine
landed, observed Easter according to
the Eastern custom is urged as a rea-
son for believing that Great Britain
received her Christianity from the east
and not from the west, from St. John
rather than from st. Peter, from Anti.
och and not from Rome.
The early Christian emperors cele-
brnted the day by setting prisoners
free and by scattering gifts. It was
Dominica Gaudi'-the day Of JOY for
all people. The popular Easter hymns
are from Latin sources, welcome

a cargo fire raging within. passengers
and crew of the steamship Car
thaginian. OF the Allan line, were in
peril for many hours on the third day
out from Liverpool. according to Thrill
ling stories told here on the arrival of
the vessel. Only desperate work OF
the crew and OF the men In the cabins
stopped the spread of the flames.
The Carthaginian's passengers were
having the usual midwinter voyage,
the angry waters providing Just the
proper amount Of excitement, when the
cry of fire was raised on the morning
Of December 60. and when seamen
opened the hatchway smoke and fire
shot out.
Every man aboard was put to work at
the pumps and tons of water Were
poured into the hold. Even after the
last flame had been extinguished so far
as the crew could judge, Captain Nc

Must Spend Interest.
Still further to answer objections, 1t
was amended with the provision that
the total funds of the foundation should
not exceed 500, 100000. That is. cur
rent income must be currently dis
tributed, through devotion to the va
rious interests for which the corpor-
alton was founded. Income must not
be added to principal: the big fund
must not go on, piling up as snow
ball grows. Finally. the charter was
made subject to alteration, amend
ment or repeal in the discretion
of Congress.
With these changes, those in charge
of the measure believed that 1t would
be unobjectionable. and last Monday
Congressman Peters of Massachusetts
called IL up. There was protest forth
with, representing the general demo-
cratic objection to granting federal
charters for anything. Mr.. Bartlett,
maintained that the granting of such
charters was an affair of the States;
he opposed even the Federal incorpor-
alton Of the American Red Cross; and
in this case he should stand by his
general attitude, on constitutional
Congressman Fitzgerald of New York
indicated In the beginning that with
the light he then had. he was opposed
to the bill. He wanted to know about
it before voting. Mr.. Peters analysed
the measure section by section. and
Mr.. Fitzgerald finally declared he was
satisfied and would support 1t.
Found Not Satisfactory.
But it wasn't enough to satisfy the
House, and on the division the bill was
defeated. 40 to %. The point of no
quorum sent It back to the calendar,
whence and effort will be made to get
1t passed in a few days. Jerome d.
Greene. a trustee of the general educa-
ton board ond Of the Rockefeller In
stitute for Medical Research, Is in
Washington looking after the measure,
explaining II to members of Congress,
and urging that II be passed. so that
the work of the foundation, which he
believes will be of great social and
humanitarian value, may be organized
as soon as possible
I'VE could incorporate under several
different States which have, through re-
sponsible people invited us to do So"
said Mr. Greene today. but there are
many reasons for asking Federal
charter in preference. Congress has
chartered the Carnegie Institution Of
Washington, the Carnegie Foundation
for Advancement of Teaching, the Gen.
eral Education Board. and others whose
objects are closely analogous to those
Of the Rockefeller Foundation; there
seems no logical reason why 1t should
not do so in this case"
When the bill is called up again 1t Is
expected there will be a vigorous fight
on both sides; but the measures friends
expect that 1t will pass. Its advocates
urge that, no matter how Mr.. Rookie
feller got his money. ne has 1t; and IL
he is willing to make use Of 1t for the
social benefit, he ought to get the
chance.

such insinustion.
After the squat had subsidized Mr..
Goldsborough was allowed 70 continue
his testimony. James Fl. Taylor, an
attorney for the Fernando Wood estate,
testified briefly regarding the value of
the Chamberlin Hotel property. in the

definite figures, said he regarded lind

Questions As to Values.
The examination of Mr.. Goldsborough
developed number of hypothetical
questions concerning real estate values
in Washington and elsewhere. Alexan-
dria, Calcutta, and other cities, near
and far, were drawn into the discussion
Chairman johnson finally protested
that he wasn't interested in real estate
values in New York, Calcutta, or any
other place except Washington, and
Mr.. Goldsborough was then permitted to
come back to Fifteenth and II streets.
Mr.. Goldsborough testified that the
value of any business property depend
ed largely on the character Of business
done on 1t.
do you know of any property which
has increased go per cent in value In
the last three and one-half years?"
asked Congressman Prouty, remember
ing former testimony that the Southern
building location had undergone such
an increase.
NO" answered Mr.. Goldsborough.
AT what do you value the Southern
building property"
Fifty dollars a foot
And the Shoreham Hotel property

What about the corner of the south
east side OF Fifteenth and II streets?'
II consider IL worth SO foot less"
said the witness. He added that the
Union Trust Company corner had been
bought for much less several years ago.
Congressman Redfield said the site
of the Equitable building in New York
was worth 500 foot.
Mr.. Redfeld wanted to know the
relative value of the Southern and the
Equitable. and what the Southern build
ing would be worth IL II were located
on the Equitable site in New York.
Mr.. Goldsborough could not see any
means Of comparison.
Your attitude Is then that there is
no more relation than II II were in

TROUBLE GIVING

John D. Roceellers Efforts to Start $780, 5000 Foun-

on Plan Again.
BY JUDSON c. WELLIvER.

Is the Government of the United
States willing to let John d. Rookie
Teller establish a great foundation,
with 800, 100000 of the Rockefeller money
as its capital to carry on education,
philaHthropic, scientific and like works?
The House of Representatives, on Mon
day voted down the bill. by the ajority
of 40 to %; but before the result was
announced the point of mo quorum"
was made by Mr.. Mann, and the bill
went back to the calendar. 1t is in
tended to make another effort next
week to have it explained to a full
House, and passed.
Mr.. Rockefellers efforts to give away
sl00, 000, 900 have been attended with per-
haps more difficulty than ever encom-
passed like enterprise Almost any
body might be expected to want a
hundred million dollars, but Uncle Sam
hasn't been 50 sure of II.
Stor moi Protest.
The original bill to incorporate the
Rockefeller foundation was introduced
in the Senate by Mr.. Gallinger. 1t
caused an instant storm of protest, for
the bill as drawn seemed likely to
create a financial monster that would
have perpetual existence, the ability
to pile up a vast and vaster fortune,
and use it in almost any way Its man
ayers might desire.
Many persons believed 1t was an am
bilious project of Mr.. Rockefeller to
perpetuate his vast estate, already wide
man in the history OF the world ever
owned, and to place 1t where 1t would
be exempt from taxes, held more closely
than the old entailed estates Of feudal
times, and capable Of growing to pro-
portions that might make 1t real
public menace.
It became apparent early that as then
framed the bill hadn't a chance to pass.
So IL was withdrawn and reorganized.
The general exemption from taxation
was removed. and only personal prop
erty used by the corporation was ex-
empted from taxation in the District Of
Columbia, the Territories. or direct tax
alton by the United States. That Is,
either real or personal property would
continue subject to taxation in any
State where II might exist.
Object To Control.
There had also been grave objection
because Mr.. Rockefeller was 70 NOM
mate the first board in control of
the foundation, and 1t in turn was
to fill vacancies in its ranks, thus
becoming self-perpetuation. The dan
gerous possibilities OF this arrange
ment made q strong appeal The
managers of the measure have
changed this. so that 1t is provided
that there shall be nine trustees.
They shall fill vacancies in their
ranks; but persons thus designated
must be rejected IL their nominations
are rejected by a majority of the fol-
lowing persons: The President, Chief
Justice, President of the Senate,
Speaker of the House. and the ,presi-
dents of Harvard Yale. Columbia,
johns Hopkins. and Chicago Univer-
sites. That Is. these nine persons
would at all times have veto on
any nomination for the board.
These changes removed much op-
position: but there was still the i1ea
of perpetual existence. So Mr.. Rookie
Teller agreed to provide that at the
