JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER HAS GIVEN
 AWAY NEARLY $500, 900 ,o00

New York, Nov 24-John D. Rocke- feller, his son announced today has pro- vided 63.763,s57 towards the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, established in memory of his wife, who died in 1915. The announcement also revealed that Mir. Rockefellers benefactions have reached the enormous total of cloes to half bil- lion dollars.
 For years prior to her death" the statement said, my mother was inter ested in the support of many religious and charitable enterprises Since her death It has been the desire of my father than, insofar as it might seem wise, those and kindred objects in which my mother had manifested an intimate interest should continue to receive support. To make this possible, my father, in loving memory of my mother, established a charitable corporation known as the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial"
 The directors of the memorial are John D. Rockefeller Jr., Charles E. Hughes, George Welwood Murray. Starr J. Murphy and Willard S. Richardson. In 1915, when John D. Rockefeller Jr., testified before the industrial relations committee, he estimated his fathers gifts up to that time at about S25O. .0OO. GOO In the last five years his additional philan- thropies amounted to S225, ,d0O 900, divided l follows:
 To the Rockefeller Foundation, sS2,- l 000,0O0.

SPORTING NOTES.

Philadelphia this winter is to have a season of indoor football with night games, according to an announcement by Joseph P. Mcguire, manager of the Sec ond City troop eleven. The games will be played in the drill hall of the new cavalry armory in West Philadelphia on an oval lacking only five yards of the regulation distance between the goal posts. In order to give the proper space for catching forward passes back of the goal line it was necessary to reduce the distance between tie posts to 90 yards. The playing surface is tanbark and the huge vaulted roof will permit the loftiest punts.
 Lieut.. Com. Jonas H. Ingram, football coach at the Annapolis naval academy from 1910 to 1912, has been engaged to assist in coaching the University of Cali fornia team for the game California ex- poets to play against an eastern eleven at Pasadena New Years day. Commander Ingram is flag lieutenant of the Pacific fleet and coach of tie fleet football team.
 Princeton has declined an invitation to send its team 10 the tournament.
 Max Houser, star halfbaok of the 1919 Lafayette college foo Eall team, will enter Georgia Tech shortly after the Thanks giving recess. He did not return to La fayette this fall. going to Yale instead.
 Two changes in the rules of the Inter collegiate Basketball league were an- nounced recently. The first will permit a player who has been taken out of the game at any time to be sent back later, provided he has not committed four per sonal fouls, which automatically result in his disqualification for the entire game. The second change provides that after a held ball' beneath the basket. the ball shall be brought out to the 15-foot line and tossed up.
 The suggestion recently advanced by Percy D. Haughton that a forward pass blocked behind the line of scrimmage be subject to recovery like a blocked kick has not been met with favor by many l coaches.
 William H. CBig BilD Edwards, former Princeton captain, said: If they keep or changing the rules, they will kill the game"
 Chick Meehan, Syracuse coach, declared
 that the suggestion, if adopted, would tend to make the game less open because passes would be more dangeIous and ligh
 elevens would be handicapped 1 Buck ONeil, Columbia coach, said sucl

New York, Nov. 24.-The reactionary trend of prices on che stock exchange to- day In which many leaders cancelled substantial part of their recent recover les. suggested that financial conditions Imposed further revision of quoted val ues.
 Dealings were much smaller than on any previous day of the week for which tomorrows holiday was probably re- sponsible. The confidence manifested by the short interest. however, evident ly had its justification in the ease with which the market receded.
 Money conditions remained easy with an abundance of call loans at 6 per cent and more liberal offerings of time funds and purchases of merchants paper. but industrial and commercial advices mere ly confirmed the growing conviction of an Inevitable slackening of trade.
 Further cancellations of merchandise were referred 10 by banking interests as one of the evils confronting the domestic business situation and the sharp decline l in imports of luxuries threw an interest ing sideiirht on the attitude of the buy ing public Steel mills reported more cancellations on finished contracts and sales Of copper for home consumption were made at 4l cents, the lowest price in years.

CONTINUANCE OF EVIDENCE
 IN THE RUMELY CASE

New York, Nov. 24.-S. Walter Kauf- man, co-defendant with Norvin t. Lind helm and Dr. Edward 4. Runely, cnar2- ed with concealing alleged German own ership of the New York Evening Mail during part of the war, made a trip to Germany in 1916 to confer with Hermann Ee.cken, said to have been supplying funds to Dr. Rumtly while he was edi- tor and publisher of the newspaper, kauf- man testified today.
 While in Germany with his secretary. Eugene Orvis Kaufman said he called on Dr. Bernard Dernberg, who was a German agent in the United States at the outbreak of the war, and Ambassador Gerard.
 The object of his trip abroad was to speak personally with Sielcken regard ing his business interests in hte Even ing Mail" Kaufman explained. Sielcken was a coffee kind then residing in Bad en-Baden.' Another important purpose sin his trip was to bring back chemicals owned by an American firm and effect the release of leather held in Hamburg for shipment to American owners.
 Kaufman told Sielcken of ''reorgani- zation of the Evening Mail and Dr. Rune ly's plans to build up the paper" adding that Sielcken said he was disappointed with his newspaper and decried the ex- cessive cost of it's production
 Sielcken later loaned an additional $150,O0 to Dr. Rumely in the Evenins Mail" Kaufman said under cross-exarn- ination by the prosecution. When asked why he turned over S15000O from Siel- cken "at a time when diplomatic rela- tions with Germany were about to be severed" Kaufman said he did not know diplomatic relations were on the point ot being broken and put Sie!cken's money into the paper in order to save the money Sielcken already had invested in it. Kaufman later tent to St. Louis tC see August Busch about the newspaper but not with Dr. Rumely or pr. Hein- rich Albert of the German fiscal agency here, he said.
 Orvis, succeeding Kaufman on th' stand, said Kaufman did not tell him the object of his trip to Germany during thu r days at sea after leaving the United States He testified to going to Baden Baden with Kaufman and a man named Arthur Schmidt. He said that althougl
 he did not understand German very Aal he heard the words money" and "E,v | ening Mail' mentioned in the converse | ton between Kaufman and Sielcken. | Orvis also testified to being with Kauf man in April. 1915, when he said theI met Dr. Bernhard Dernberg. and he re
 ceived letter to deliver to Dr. Rumely
