Answers Questions Regard
ing 500, ZOO, 900 Founda-
ton, It's Purposes and
Method of Operation.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. 24.-The Rookie
Teller Foundation today made pub
lie its replies to questions asked by
the United States Commission on In
dustrial Relations as to the reasons
for the establishment of the $780,
100000 Foundation, its purposes and
methods Of operation.
One of the purposes OF the inquiry
now being conducted in this city by
the Industrial Commission is the in
vestigation OF the Rockefeller and
Sage foundations. The information
given out by the Rockefeller Founda-
tion today already has been forwarded
to the commission. In addition John
D. Rockefeller, Jr, president of the
foundation, will be called before the
commission as a witness
The replies by the Rockefeller
Foundation are divided into two parts,
the first of which is signed by Mr..
Rockefeller. Jr., as president; and by
Jerome Greene, as secretary.
Complying with the commissions
request the Foundation has supplied
the commissioners with copies of the
Foundations charter, constitution and
bylaws. Replying to other questions
the Foundation stated that 1t was not
a consultations OF pre-existing organi-
cations but a ss.nct creation with its
own funds.
THE TOTAL FUNDS.
The total funds of the foundation
on Dec. /, 1914, are stated as $10S,-
936,s17. It's holdings or stocks and
bonds are given in detail. The char
acter OF its investments is controlled
by the finance committee composed of
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. starr J. MUIR
ply and Jerome d. Greene. Appro-
priations are made by the board Of
directors or the executive committee.
The amount of its holdings is not linn
tied by It's charter. No part of the
principal is to be distributed except by
two-thirds vote OF all members.
One condition of John D. Rockefel-
lers gift of $100.00U,o00, establishing
the Foundation was described as stip-
ulating that the sum of $4,000, 900 of
It's income or as much of that sum
as he might designate shall be ap-
piled during his lifetime to such xpe-
ciflc objects within the corporate tpur-
poses OF the Foundation as he may
direct.
The officers declare that they have
no expectation OF receiving any fur
Their funds but that the foundation Is
entitled to receive gifts from any
source. The General Education Board,
they say, is an Independent corpora
ton with funds OF its own; but lump
sums have been appropriated for the
use of the International Health Com
mission.
TO MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS.
The major part of the work of the
Foundation consists, 1t is stated. in
making contributions to other philan-
thropic agencies.

option DILL alliance to be made with the Lieu
Governor This brought about by the
Lieutenant Governor refusing to recognize anyone
who made motion go to the order of resolutions,
or to reach that order himself Senator Perver
made several efforts when most of the Senators
present to get this resolution but the presiding
officer, Mr.. O'1ara, refused to recognize him. -
On one occasion when a good number of the dry
Senators absent he to Senator Pervier and
suggested that he call up that resolution. He knew
1t would be quickly tabled by the present.
Senator Pervier refused do this for the that
not nearly all the Senators there After wait
ing patiently for the time when the Lieutenant Gov
ernor would recognize someone to take up this
luton and after every possible effort made
secure fair hearing this resolution conference
OF twothirds of the dry Senators held and plan
arranged looking toward getting hearing. A COM
mee consisting of Senators Perver and Jewell was -
sent to the Lieutenant Governor asking him per =
NIT roll call on the resolution His answer was
/ will not do unless Senators Daley and Ettle
son concur in the arrangement" There was about
one chance in ten thousand that they would agree
especially when the resolution O take the bill
from Senator Ettlesons own committee. The fol
lowing day they renewed the request for recognition
The Lieutenant Governor was informed that he must
carry the responsibility of defeating resolution if
he refused to recognize Senator Pervier to call up
the same He definitely stated that he had talked
with Daley and Ettleson and inasmuch as they
unwilling he would not recognize anyone to get &C
ton this resolution
His policy during the last weeks of the session
mas been to refuse to recognize any Senator for any
bill unless he was absolutely certain he would not
bring up the county option resolution
Because OF gave rule county option has been
kept from passing the Senate. It took the triple
alliance OF OHara, Daley and Ettleson and the
power Of the Lieutenant Governors position as pres
rdent OF the Senate to prevent the passage of the
county option bill. O'Hara's action has been little
short OF the action OF Speaker Mckinley the noto-
r1ous Speaker of the House of two years ago who
wit he oaVe1t the
klney IS dead one politically. OEIara retires from
office soon to take place beside this departed servant
OF the saloon interests. The state will be clad for
their retirement and the lesson has been well taught
to the people of Illinois that good legislation can
only be gotten with honest Speaker presiding over
