HEALTH STUDY GIFTS
Rockefeller Desires Closer In
vestigation Of Causes of
Human Disease.

NEW YORK. June 2s.-Henry James.
e.. manager Of the Rockefeller lnsti-
Ite for Medical Research, has just an,
7ounced a gift from John D. Rookie
|eller of 25Jo.oo0 TO afford a closer
investigation of the nature and causes
Of human disease and methods Of its
prevention and treatment.
OF this sum, part will be used for
the purchase of additional land TO en-
sble the institution to acquire the entire
tract where the building are. between
Sixty-fourth and Sixty-seventh streets,
from Avenue 4 to the East river. about
four acres The remainder will be used
IN erecting and equipping new labora-
tories and other buildings to insure
proper facilities for carrying on the
new work.
With the new gift, the Rockefeller In
stitute will become the most amply
endowed institution for medical research
in the world. In 1902, when the institu-
ton was founded, no undertaking OF the
kind existed in this country. Other
countries had them, but the movement
had not gained any ground in the
United states. Since that time, how
ever, several research laboratories have
been established.
In addition TO the Ia ooratories, hos
pital is connected with the institution,
with every facility for the treatment OF
patients suffering from mslacies under
special investigation. For the treat
nent and study of contagious diseases,
q separate building, with isolated
wards, is provided.
The scope of the work Of the instttu-
ion is indicated by list of the several
scientific departments which IL main
tains. II includes pathology. bacteri-
o'ogy. protozoology, biological chem
istry. physiology and pharmacology,
experimental biology and animal path
cloEy. besides the special hospital.
Some of the leading scientists of the
world now devote their entire time TO
medical research at the institute.
The donation of s2.550,000 brings the
endowment of the institute by Rookie
teller to approximately So. $4,000, ex-
elusive of real estate in this city.

No. 8. Prayer of the common
people: We are thankful for all this
beautiful bunk. We are especially
thankful for The Day Book, which
enables us to know that it is bunk.
We are thankful that The Day Book
makes US see into the future to the
time when the doors of the pharisee
press will be closed forever. We are
thankful for the knowledge that,
even if Billy Lorimer did deeds not
quite according to Hoyle, he is white
in comparison with the pharisee press
and the crowd that downed him. We
are thankful that it is easy for us to
pay pew rent and that The Day Book

THE DAY BOOK

F1HNkS FOR HE SERMON
Editor Day Book:-Thanks for
your weekend sermon, Business Is
Crooked" Editorials like that will
take the place of Sunday newspapers
and ought to help some in cutting the
high cost of living by cutting out pew
rent. However, we went to one of
the orthodox churches today and
heard three prayers offered.
Here they are:
No. 1. Prayer of the Quack Press:
Lord, we thank thee that, after
bounding down Billy Lorimer and his
crowd for many years, our prayers at
last have been answered and he is
now down and out for keeps. We
think thee that we have been instru-
mental in bringing this about and
that, owing in large measure to our
efforts, his success in business was
made impossible and he was forced
to resort to devices which we and
our friends would scorn to use.
No. 2. Prayer of the Chicago
Pharisee Clearing House Association:
Lord, we thank thee that we are not
as the LaSalle Street Trust and Saw
ings Bank. Lord we knew that crowd
was going on the rocks. We knew it
some time ago. But, good Lord, we
are not our brothers keeper, so we
said nothing to the dear people who
were depositors. They. should have
known better. But, thou Lord, in
thy wisdom, causedst them to lose
their money because they trusted to
Billy Lorimer. They should have en-
trusted their money to the Chicago
Clearing House banks. They should
have known that the Lord is on the
side of the trust banks. We thank
thee that we are untouched by this
low down bank failure. We thank
thee that we are above and beyond
this kind of thing. Continue, o Lord,
to harass Billy Lorimer and all such
as may dare to invade the sacred pre-

ANY FOOD INSPECTORS?
Editor DaN Rook:-DneS

Nance mean to say there is pure food
inspectors in Chicago? Well, wrote
to the trust papers to find out, and
they wouldn't answer l buy rotten
eggs in most every store go to, and
come to think these egg inspectors
are the greatest con men and hold
men up in Chicago. Today cold stor-
age men and second-class store
keepers are making the people of Chi
cago pay high prices for rotten eggs.
1t is too bad their overseer did not go
down with the Empress of Ireland,
and we might then get an honest man
instead of a fraud. John OtIey.

Washington = Unofficial advices
reaching Washington are to the effect
that Pedro Lascurain, former score
tary in President Madero's cabinet
would be chosen to succeed General
Huerta as president of Mexico and that
Huerta, resuming his former post az
chief of staff af the army, would be
dispatched to foreign post, probably
to France.
Whoever might be elected was re-
ported to be ready to turn over the
presidency 60 Provisional government.
and General Huerta is willing to leave
the country on the order Of his sue.
cessor. thereby saving his face.
When President Madero and Vice
President Suarez were assassinated in
Mexico City Lascurain was the logical
successor to the presidency Of the re.
public. He presented his resignation
but 1t was not accepted because there
was no quorum Of the Mexican con.
gress, present. Theat left Lascurain
under the terms Of the Mexican con-
stitution, its logical president. Huerta.
however, assumed the dictatorship.
Huerta. it is reported. is now ready
to depart, and his principal reason for
flight, being to save his family. A
vessel to take the Huerta family is
said to be waiting at Puerta. Mexico.

Huerta Forms Alliance with
Zapata, tho Revolutionist.

Mexico City.-Elections for presi-
dent, vice president, deputies and SEN
ators were held Sunday in that por-
ton of the republic controlled by the
Huerta government. Indifference was
manifest everywhere.
General Huerta appeared to be the
favorite candidate for the presidency
and General Banquet for the vice pres
idency. President Huerta, 1t is report
ed, received virtually unanimous vote
of confidence. The returns indicate
the reelection of all present members
of the chamber of deputies and the
senate.
The lightest vote in many years was
cast, both in the capital and nearby
towns
Elections Not Taken Seriously.
Vera Cruz.-Mexicans from the in
terror and just beyond the American
lines do not regard seriously the elec-
tions held. It is pointed out such cleo
tons could scarcely have any concili-
atOry effect on the constitutionalists
and never could be regarded as legal,
since the government is powerless to
comply with the provisions of the law
that the votes be cast freely through
out the territory.
That General Huerta proposes to re-
peat the virtually compulsory choice OF
himself and General Banquet for the
presidency and vice presidency re-
spectively, as he did last year, is the
story brought here by a Judge from
Jalapa. He said he had received in
structions to prepare the ballots in the
usual manner, but to see that all votes
cast were for Huerta and Banquet.
Quick returns from the elections are
not likely as many of the places where
the balloting is supposed to take place
are isolated. and after the returns are
all in meeting Of the electors must
be held. There naturally would ensue
considerable interval before the in
auguration Of the president.
Huerta.zapata Alliance.
1t is rumored here that an alliance
between Provisional President Huerta
and Emiliano Zapata, the revolution
airy leader, is to be formed soon.
Both here and in the capital the
conviction exists that crisis is i'm
minent, but only vague reasons are
offered for fear that the next few
days will see development.
Mexicans prominent in the political,
commercial and social life of the CAPT.
tai are joining in increasing strength,

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

About 35 carloads of cherries Of the
Bling, Lambert and Republican varie-
ties. have been shipped by the Milton
Fruit Growers union and the Lamb
FRUIT Co. at Freewater, Ore, during
the past three weeks, and 1875 tons Of
Royal AIMS have been sold to the
oregon Packing Co. to be made into
Maraschinos.
Returns from cherry shipments at
Kennewick, Wash. show that one
trm alone handled $4,000 crates Of
Bings and Royal AIMS which netted
the growers $4,000. The price to the
grower this year averaged from Z
cents for AIMS to 81 cents for Bings.
A conservative estimate of the total
cherry shipments from there for the
season Is 10000 crates.
