But even the segregation of the stupendous amount from the fortune of John 1). Rockefeller will not leave him poor. He will still have approximately $500,- 000,000. The first authoritathre utterance con- cerning the great Rockefeller founda- tion was made by Starr J. Murphy, the personal legal adviser of John D. Rockefeller, and the man who is work- ing on the legal and legislative status of the foundation. \This is no sudden whim, no emo- tional expression, no hasty move on the part of Mr. Rockefeller,\ said Mr. Murphy. \Rather is it the culmination of a lire -long habit of giving, brought to fullness by experience. It is the fulfillment of a determination to de- vote a large part of his wealth to the benefit of humanity. \The real objects of the foundation, after it has settled to its work under a charter granted by the congress of the United States, are to promote the well-being and advance of the. civiliza- tion of the people of the United States and, after, foreign lands, in the acqui- sition and dissemination of knowledge; in the relief of suffering and in pro- motion of all the elements of human progress. Is Left to Trustees. \What form the endeavor to pro- mote human progress shall take, to whom benefactions shall be extended and what manner of progress shall be assisted, Mr. Rockefeller leaves entirely to the trustees who may in future years be in control of the funds. No man possesses sufficient wisdom to compre- hend what conditions may arise a hun- dred years hence. He believes that any attempt to surround a great bene- faction with limitations to specific pur- poses defeats the good sought. The judgment of the men today is superior to the foresight of any previous genera- tion. It is not for the dead to dictate to the living who may be surrounded by different conditions and altered cir- cumstances. Is a New System of Giving. \It marks the inauguration of a new system in the dispostion of great for - tuts. It gives outright to a board of trustees a large sum of money, with- out restriction or limitation, save that it be devoted to the welfare of man- kind. It trusts the administration and disposition to the men of the future. It continues under supervision of the government.\ LATE NEWS ITEMS. Fred Gruber was found guilty at Coeur d'Alene city.
