Paris last night announced that yes

CONTINUED From First Pagel
comments are contained in a booklet,
which will other literature has been
received by the Telegraph from Presi-
dent f. II. Goff of the Cleveland Trust
Company, trustee of the Foundation
and originator of the plan.
1t is pointed out that many gen.
erous men leave property for chari-
table uses and unwlsely condltlou
their gifts. What seems wise at the
time may seem otherwise when years
have brought new conditions.
The Cleveland Foundation is, in
short, community trust, just such a
trust as is now needed for Harris
burg. 1t would provide for many
gifts contributed by the people of
Harrisburg and managed by them for
the benefit of Harrisburg. AS in Cleve-
land this union trust fund may be
used here for assisting educational and
charitable institutions, for promoting
education, for the care of the sick
aged and helpless, for the improve
mcnt OF living conditions, for provid-
ing facilities for recreation, for any
other educational or charitable pur-
pose which will best make for the
mental, moral and physical improve
ment OF the people of tie city.
Appeal Is TO All Classes
In short, the plan provides an or
ganization to meet conditions that
cannot be anticipated at the present
time. 1t would appeal not only TO
men of wealth, but to men and women
of moderate means whose surplus
CATER caring for children and rela-
tives) would not be great enough to
endow chair or a charity or accom-
plish any other notable purpose. BY
the combining of many small funds a
large income is provided with which
work of real significance to the com
munity may be accomplished.
The Cleveland Foundation is man
aged by a board of five citizens-one
member appointed by the judge of
the Probate Court, one by the judge
of the L. S. District Court for North
ern Ohio, one by the mayor of the
city and two by the Cleveland Trust
Company. The committee is entirely
impartial, nonsectarian and nonpoliti-
cal. No distinctions may be made in
the use of the money on account of
race, color or creed
An audit each year of all disburse-
ments is printed in at least two news
papers. Several millions under the
Cleveland Foundation already have
been pledged under wills and trust
agreements. Several other cities have
since adopted the community trust
plan and the Telegraph, which will
continue to give particulars of the
plan, would be glad TO have the read
ers' views from the Harrisburg stand
point.

Mrs. Byrne lapsed into a coma at
. o'clock, few hours after having
nourishment forced upon her, Mrs.
Sanger said, and was still unconscious
at noon.
A bulletin issued by the prison au-
thorities at 1890 a. m, described
Mrs. Byrne's condition as slightly
improved" She had been fed one
pint of milk, two eggs and a stimulant.
1t was denied, in response to Mrs.
Sanger's allegation, that there was
basis for any statement that Mrs.
Byrne's condition was serious.
The decision to feed Mrs. Byrne
was announced after the prison physi-
clans came to regard her condition as
dangerous. Eggs and milk constituted
her first diet since Monday night.
