BILL FAVORABLY REPORTED.
Rockefeller Foundation Fund Ac-
cepted by Committee.

The Senate Committee on the Judi
ciaTy favorably reported yesterday the
bill TO incorporate the Rockefeller Four
dation. which passed the House some
weeks ago by Il vote OF more than two
to one. The committees action places
the bill on the calendar of the Upper
House, from which it may be taken up
by vote at any time during the present
session for immediate consideration.
Under the charter now up for final
passage the Rockefeller Foundation is
empowered to use all endowment. which

happiness of the race by any educational.

foundation's- endowment is to come from
John D. Rockefeller. and its funds are
to he expended under the control of Con-
gress. which may also order the disso-
tuition If the trust at any time. the
assets in such case to be distributed in
accordance with the purposes of the
foundation.
1t is understood that the terms under

the endowment to the foundation were
not fully comprehcnded by some MEM
bers of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
with the result that the bill was halted
for scrutiny beyond the tine when 1t
would ordinarily have been reported. A
personal letter from Mr.. Rockefeller to

MESSAGE ON HEMP TAX.
President Taft Says Its Exemption
Works No Injury.

President Taft yesterday sent to the
House a mass of figures in answer to a
recent resolution adopted asking for in
formation regarding the exemption of
American importers of Manila hemp from
the payment of an export tax and the
amount of refund to said importers under
the PHILIPPINE tariff act. The President S
message said. in part:
1T is believed that this export tax
works no injury TO the producers of hemp
i'm the Philippine Islands but is a direct
loss to the Philippine treasury of the
amount oN exemption, that the eXemp-
ton does not increase the price of hemp
received by the producer nor does it de-
crease that price. In fact the producer
of hemp in selling il does not know in
the general case whether it is to be later
exported to the United States with an
exemption of the export duty or to Great
Britain with the payment of the export
duty
The President says that the refund of
the export tax Is favored on several
grounds. among them being that it has
prices and that it has decreased the
price of cordage to the users in the
United States. and has increased the
amount of freight coming direct from
the Philippines to this country. Another
ground given by the President is that It
was unfair to admit an article into the
United States free of duty and at the
same time for the benefit of another
government place an export tax on this
article at its point of origin"
