Munlfkient Gift of Andrew Csrnegls
For The Purpose of Assisting Needy
Ex-Teachers. t
New Tork, Special. A gift of $10,
000,000 by'Andrew Carnegie to provide
annuities for college professors who are
not able. to continue In active service,
was announced by Frank A. Vanderlip,
rice president of the National City
Bank, of New York. Professors In the
United States, Canada and Newfound
land will Bhare In the distribution of
the income of the fund. United States
Steel Corporation 5 per cent, first
mortgage bonds for $10,000,000 have
been transferred to a board of trus- J
tees, and steps will be taken at once
to organize a corporation to receive
the donation. Dr. Pritchett, presidept of
the Massachusetts Institute of Techno
logy, and Mr. .Vanderlip have been se
lected by Mr. Carnegie to obtain data
on the subject, to bo presented at the
first meeting of the board of trustees,
which will take place on November
15th. The bonds have a par value of
$11,000,000 and will produce an annual
Income of $500,000. The corporation
which is being formed will be styled
"the Carnegie Foundation."
Mr. Carnegie's secretary has sent a
letter to the press, giving the forego
ing Information and inclosing a letter
from Mr. Carnegie, dated April 18th,
which says, in part:
'I have reached the conclusion that
the least rewarded of all professions
Is that of the teacher in our higher edu
cational Institutions. New Lork city
generously, and very wisely, provides
retiring pensions for teachers in her
public schools and also for her police
men. Very few, indeed, of our col
leges are able to do so. The conse
quences are grievous. Able me.n hesi
tate to adopt teaching as a career, and
many old professors, whose places
should be occupied by younger men,
cannot be retired."
Mr. Carnegie says that the fund will
apply to universities, colleges and
technical schools "without regard to
race, sex, creed or color, but not
to Institutions supported by State or
colonial governments. Another class
excluded is sectarian institutions. "On
ly such as are under control of a sect,
or require trustees, or a majority there
of, or officers, faculty or students to
belong to any specified sect or which I
impose any theological test, are to be
excluded."
Mr. Carnegie specifier the duties of
the trustees, and concludes with the
hope that this fund may do much
for the cause of higher education and
to remove a source of deep and con
stant anxiety to the poorest paid, and
yet one of the highest of all profes
sions." Among those named as trustees tire
Presidents Edwin B. Craighead, of Tu
lane, and George H. Denny, of Wash
ington and Lee.

SHOOT AND CLUB ON "SUSPICION
Fighting Was Even More Savage Than
Monday's, . Men Being' Shot Down
and Beaten or Kicked Nearly 'to'
Death In the Heart of the Business
Section.
Chicago, Special. The death of one
man and the Injury of scores of others
was the Immediate result of Tuesday's '
fighting between the striking teamsters
and their sympathizers on the one side,
and the police and the non-union men .
on the other. There were riots in all
parts of the city. Men were clubbed and
stoned almost to death within a square
of police headquarters, and 'five miles
away men were shot down in the
streets. At a hundred place? between
these iwo extremes of distance thero
were'issaults and fights In the streets.
Non-union men were pelted with
stones, bricks and every other conceiv
able sort of missies. They were drag
ged from theifr wagons, beaten, club
bed and stamped upon.
EMPLOYERS DISUNITED.
The Team Owners' Association,
.which employs none but union team
sters, flatly refused to make deliveries
to any of the firms Involved in the
strike, when asked to do so by the Em
ployers' Association at a conference at
the Union League Club. When the em
ployers received this ultimatum they
notified the team owners that unless
the request that no discrimination be
made In deliveries were granted, an ef
fort would be made to have all exist
ing contracts between team owners and
the business houses and the railroads
cancelled.
NEW POLICEMEN SWORN IN.
During trie day. the employers had
informed Mayor Dunn and Chief of
Police O'Neill that they intended to
movv-1,188 wagons, owned by them and ,
the different express companies and
manned by non-union men. This neces
sitated a call for the swearing in of
1,000 additional policemen, but after
the conference at the Union League
Club, the employers modified their
plans and Informed the city officials
that they would only increase very
slightly the number of wagons in ser
vice. Although the plans have been
changed as to the moving of the wag
ons, the new men 'will be added to the
police force at once and will be put on
strike duty as rapidly as they are need
ed. Nine hundred of them will be placed
on State street alone. The large retail
establishments have announced that
they will make deliveries.
There have been numerous com
plaints 6t the interference by the strik
ers with women shoppers, and the au
thorities have determined to put an ef
fectual stop to all such practices.
Judge C. C. Kohlsaat, of the United
States Circuit Court, at the request of
the attorneys representing the seven
express companies, issued a temporary
injunction restraining all persons from
interfereing with the wagons of the
petitioners or the men employed upon
them.
Chicago Strike Worse.
Chicago, Special. Conditions in the
teamsters' strike were worse Monday
than at any preceding time. The strik
ers were In uglier mood, the rioting
was more open and vicious, and the
attacks on non-union men were more
frequent and daring than at any time
since the beginning of the strike. The
chief cause for the increased belliger
ency on the part of the strikers and
their friends is the fact that the Em
ployers' Teaming Association brought
1,600 men into Chicago to take the
places of strikers, and 500 more are
said to be now on the way and will
arrive within twelve hours. These
men will receive the full pay of union
men, and it has been guaranteed to
them that their positions will be per
