ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION Stops to Have Fortune Used For Benefit of Mankind. Incorporation Hill Introduce! in Hon. ate at Washington?'To IW Kii doucd by J. I>. RockefHler. Washington, D, C.?-Steps wore taken to incorporate the "Rockefeller Foundation" in the District oi CoVum? bia. A bill (or thin purpose was In troduced by Senator Galllnger, of New Hampshire, and was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, The purpose of the foundation 1? to pro* vide for a geheral organization to conduct philanthropic work ulong all lines. It Is understood that the foun dation -will be endowed largely by John D. Rockefeller, and that ho takes this means to dispose of a large part of blB enormous wealth. The incorporators named In the bill are John D. Rockefeller, John J). Rockefeller, Jr., Fred T. Gates, Starr J. Murphy and Charles O. Heydt. The Rockefeller Foundation, ac cording to tho bill, is organized to promote the well being and advance the civilization of the people of tho United States and its possessions in foreign lands, and for the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge; for the prevention and relief of suffering, aiiu ihe promotion of any and all of the elements of human knowledge. It was stated by Senator Galllnger that Mr. Rockefeller already had given away $52,000,000 through the ! General Educational Hoard and his gifts altogether are estimated at $119,304,000, and that he was seek ing a method of disposing of his for- j tune that would benefit mankind. ' The foundation is organized on lines similar to the Carnegio Foundation for the advancement of teaching. As in the case of the latter Institution, the Rockefeller Foundation will bo authorized to receive and dispense Gifts of money other than those ob-, tainel from the original endowments,' the amount of which has not been fixed, - i The fortune of John D. Rockefeller has been variously estimated at from $200,000,000 to $1,000,000,000. In 1907 Frederick T. Gates, commonly known as "John D. Rockefeller's almoner,',' made the statement that' the fortune would be found to be, on the financier's death, between $250,-. 000,000 and $300,000,000 " _ I "There have been amusing mis statements about Mr. Rockefeller',s fortune," said Mr. Gates recently. "For several years Senator Hoar in the United States Senate credited him with a fortune of a thousand millions,1 and recently statements have been j published throughout tho country i that he has a yearly income of $100, 000,000. Mr. Rockefeller himself < has authorized the statement that his i fortune cannot exceed $300,000,000, 1 and his Income in his most prosperous y$ar has not been more than $20, 000,000. The public generally is un der the impression that he owns a majority of the Standard Oil,, stock. ? As a mater of fact, his holdings of Standard Oil stock are 'kbout twenty per cent." t On the other hand, only the year 1 before, Henry H. Rogers was quoted as saying: j "I know for a fact that Mr. Rocke- j feller's Income this yeai will be sixty ' millions." John D. Archbdld, who j was In the room when this statement was made, is reported to have agreed ' with the estimate. At that rate It i was computed at tho time that Mr, I Rockefeller made more than $150,r I 000 a day, or about $7000 an hour. I FIVE DROWN IN WASHINGTON. Mountain Floods Swept Every River Valley la the Northwest, Seattle, Wash. ? Mountain floods ?wept every river valley In the North west and railroads were helpless to fiove traffic. Bridges were gone, rackage was washed out, and defiles were filled by avalanches. Many river town were Inundated and a large number of people In va rious places were temporarily home less. Five .^persons have been drowned. The flood water came from the melting of vast quantities of snow in the Cascade Mountains by a warm sea breere. Centralla, Wash., was Inundated, rftfe country between Centralla and Chehalis was covered by a sheet of water.

Dunn, nil of llalifat Couuty, were shot down o'i the main street of the town by K. K. Powell, a merchant. 'Travis and Kltcbin were seriously wounded and Dunn was expected to die. ___ * Powell met the tjuee men as they were walking along the street togeth er.' He approached Senator Travis and asked him hid reason for n&t Re plying to a letter fie had written fo him. Representative Kitchin, think ing that Powell was out or humor, placed his hand on Powell's shoulder aud tried to placate him. Powell drew a pistol, shot Kitchin, and In quick succession tired on Travis and Dunn. All three fell to the ground The shooting occurred in the busi ness of the centre of the town and threw the plnco Into a fever of ex citement. A number of men rushed to the aid of the wounded. Several attempted to stop Powell, but he forced them back at the point of u pistol. After the shooting Powell walked to his store and got a shotgun nnd ammunition. Then he went to his home, saying he would shoot any one who attempted to arrest him, The Mayor of tho village stationed guards around the house and notllled the Sheriff, who lived seven miles from the town, of the shooting. Tho Sheriff arrived on the scene and Pow ell announced that he had decided to surrender. He did so and was imme diately taken to the county Jail. The bullet, which struck Kitchin at close range, entered the face below the eye. It was taken out below the ear by surgeons. Tho ball which wounded Travis knocked out several tetrth and spilt his tongue. Dunn was hit below the left shoulder blade, the bullet ranging upward. The naturae of the letter over which tho shooting occurred was- not learned. Powell refused to talk. Travis and Kitchin are among the most prominent people of the State. Powell is a wealthy land owner nnd merchant. Congressman Kitchin and Governor Kitchin hurried "to their brother's side. PHILADELPHIA STHlKKIi SHOT.

NEW PITTSBURG GERM A PUZZLER. Camps Out in Large Numbers on Filter Beds?Looks Like Gas Pipe?Has Many Legs and No Head, But is Possessed of a Large Appetite. all at sea. They do not know what the germ is, ami havo discovered no way to deal with It. Pending further enlightenment from one of the many eminent scientists who are at work trying to classify the germ, it to known here an the Aspiinvall what is-it ? ' It . was by accident the presence of the new germ in the/Pittsburg water was discovered. Analysis hnd re vealed so many different sortB of germs that it was thought the supply was exhausted. Therefore, when the germ resembling a cross between a section of gas pipe and a centipede wag revealed, it could not pass un noticed, particularly when it was dis covered it was eating other germs, although It seemingly had no mouth, Dr. C. B. Drake, superintendent of the filtration beds, and W. U. C. Ba ton, the city chemist, worked ener getically to .ascertain the identity of the new germs. They are wholly un communicative. Samples of the germs were taken to K. E. Lampher, acting superintendent of the Water Bureau. He put them in bottles and sent them to Professor Mason, of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute In Troy, N. Y. Other scientists of na tional or international reputation also received samples. The reports roceived were far from satisfactory. The bacteriologists say they never had seen anything liko it, and that. It Is an entirely new germ, and that they have no Idea what its disease-producing specialty Is. Sam ples of the germ may be sent to scientific centres in Europe in the hope" the mystery will be fathomed. PlUsburg.?The sand beds in the Aspinwall nitration plant here are clogged so by microbes, which look like sections of gaspipe equipped with legs', that the water cannot get through the sand, and there is dan ger of a water faniiiTcTTrmr microbe basis. One of the peculiar featnres of this newly discovered germ that is puzzling bacteriologists not only here b.ut in other citics, is that it seeming ly has no head. Neither has it a tail to wag. It is equipped, however, with many flexible legs and seems to know whff! it is doing all the time. Opinion is expressed here that the germs originated in the mining re gions near Blalrsville, thirty miles Ironi the filtration b^ds, and immedi ately proceeded to swim down stream to inspect the Pittsburg water cystem. They liked the filtration beds so well that they decided to camp out there, until now there Is a layer of multi legged gasplpe germs on the sand bads that In so thick that llttl^water can ?et through the sand and into the mains. The situation has become bo bad the city officials are much worried. Their worrlment is increased by the fact that no one seems to know whether it is a malignant or a harm less germ. The fact remains, how ever, that the city water is so full of flexible legs that it .tickles the throats of those who drink it, Another dis quieting feature is that boiling the water does not kill the germ. H wiggles Its flexible legs a little faster and gets red in the body, but does not die as a result of the boiling process. The Water Department officials are LADY LAliRIER SCOItNS OUR IDEALS AS UNDEMOCRATIC Says Americans Arc Far More Eager For Prerogatives Than Europeans?Contempt For Suffragettes?Indecent, Unheard of and Unwomanly to Compete With Men, She Says. Rt. Louis.?"Democratic ideals in the social,life of America?" Ah she Bald It the plump placidity of Lady Laurler's face was disturbed by a llttl# upward wrinkle and her ainplo shoulders described a circle, s&ggest Ing Incredulous amusement. She was answering the question as to how she, the possessor of a title, with cer tain royalistic affiliations and pre destined preferences, harmonised her situation of being the wife of a Can adian Premier, an elective officer on American soli. Surely, the social contrarities of such a position c lied for the play of a diplomat of the highest quality. "Royal prerogatives as against democratic ideas, did you say?" she reiterated with rising inflection, lev eling her lorgnette with accuracy., "Democratic Ideals, well, I haven't observed anything democratic in the social Ideals of America. I don't say that It isn't .mixed enough. Americans display a far greater eag erness for royal prerogatives than do Europeans. "Titles are of far greater value on this side than in Europe. Ameri cans pay unqualified homage to roy alty, while In Europe their value is disproportionate to their station. Americans seem to need the .title and Europeans the money. I do not Relieve in such marriages. Amerl cant should marry at home and Eu? ropeans likewise, A title cannot mean anything In America because It wan bought." Lady Laurler paid not the slightest attention to the Interviewer'* sug gestion about the wrongi perpetrated upon her sex, None arousad her pity or scorn. Her sympathies were born of another period of English life. Lady Laurler'g sympathies are not with the Buffragette movement. "It la Indecent," she said, "un heard of and altogether too unwom anly for a woman to compete with masculine superiority." She had.no children, had been a good wife, devoted to her husband, as God ordained her and her breed ing predestined her. They have few suffragettes In Canada. "I onco saw a procession of them," said the wife of Senator Jones, who, with the 8enator and other st&tesmeii. of Canada, was with the party. "They were all bo frightfully ugly. I at once saw that they could not have been anything else but suffragettes." "Who would want to make asses of themselves like the English suf fragettes are doing," added Mrs. Bristol, wife of Edward Bristol, M. P.. another member of the party that is going to Hot Springs for rest and the benefit of Lady Laurler'f health. GOVERNMENT CONTROL FOR AERIAL TRAFFIC. German Meteorologlat Points Out the Necessity to _T Emperor William and Party. Berlin.?Emperor William lunched with Dr. Beseler, Prussian Minister of Justice. . Before sitting down to the table Prof. Vladimir Koeppen, the meteorologist.' read a paper In which he discussed the control of the airfields by the States of the Empire.

More than that, ho swore lie never received any money from any one at any time to Influence his action on highway or bridge 1**kinlation, and in his denial he nned the short and ugly word "lie."'

When tho testi mony of Senitor ltenu Conger regard ing a visit, of Senator Allds to his apartments, where-he agreed to do ail he could ti? Kill the highway legls Intlon for $1000, was read to him by Martin NV. Littleton, lila'counsel, Sen ator Allds half raited himself from tho witness chair and. pointing bin Auger at the lawyer, raid hoarsely: "Mr. .Littleton, there are two jies there. First, tho conversation never took place, and 1 never went to liU apartments.". lie contradicted the story of Hiram G. Moo and Seuator lJenn Conger ab solutely and entirely. He related th? story of hit* movements on that last day of the session of 11>01 and put into, the evidence statements of tho two bank accounts ho maintained, one at Norwich, hlB home, the other in a bapk here. And ho told about his employment by the Forest Pur chasing Board as a title searcjier, giv ing a list of the sums he received for that service. Senator Allds was on the stand under direct examination all day. de spite a bad attack of bronchitis, which put him in bad shape physically. The big marble chamber was tilled to the top seat In the gallery. There ?were more women than men. Allds In his many years of service has made hundreds of friends in Albany and all wero present to cheer hli.i through his examination. His frock coat, bou tonniere, silk hat $iul moon face have been features of Albany society. His good nature, always on tap, made him a welcome figure in the topsldo of lll'e of this city. Therefore Albany In part turned out to welcome hlin and women sent flowers to prove that sontlment bents logic a mile when the human side appeals. It was a friendly crowd in greater part that the Chenango Senator faced when ho took the stand. The frown ing Osborne and the alert Van Wyck, ct msel for Conger, were only remote shadows In a big group, for all the atmosphere was for Allds from the flowers to the pretty women and their escoits. The accused Senator did Veil as a witness, lie answered with tho quick ness of a schoolboy. His usual good nature was with him for almost every minute of the time. Smiles ran over his face with regularity. Ills eyes .laughed in the old way that made him so pop ilar years ago when every* body callod him "Joe." MUHDKHKIt TRACKED DOWN.

Petersen, after the Identification, broke down and confessed to tho kill ing and expressed a willingness to re turn to New York without requisition papers. "I killed my wife," said Petersen, "because 1 found her locked in the room with another man. About dark I returned home and knocked at the front door.
