ROGERS WAS SECRET GIVER
Hooker Washington Tells of Liberal
Aid to Tuskegce Institute.
NEW YORK, Mav 31. Booker T.
Washington has revealed the fact that
for many years H. II. Rogers aided in
the support of scores of schools in the
South. The Standard Oil official asked
Mr. Washington to act as his almoner
and Insisted that his benefactions be
kept secret. In giving an account of
this unknown phase of Mr. Rog-ers"
activities, Mr. Washington said:
"The first tima I ever met Mr. Rogers
waa in this manner: About 15 years
ago a large meeting was held in Madi
son Square Garden concert hall "to ob
tain funds for the Tuskegee Institute.
Mr. Rogers attended the meeting, but
came late, and as the auditorium was
crowded he could not get a seat. He
stood in the back part of the hall,
however, and listened to the speaking.
"The next morning I received a tele
gram from him asking me to call at
his office. When I entered he remarked
that he had been present at the meet
ing the night previous and expected
the hat to be passed, but as that was
not done he wanted to 'chip in some
thing," thereupon he handed me ten
$1000 bills. In doing this he imposed
only one condition thaj the gift should
be mentioned to no one.
"I cannot now recall the number of
times that he has helped us, but in
doing so he always insisted that his
name be never used. He seemed to
enjoy making his gifts in currency in
this manner."

LOS ANGELES, Cal.. May 31. Elmer
Carlisle, 17 years old, son of H. H.
Carlisle, was choked to death in the
slimy ooze and mud in the bottom of
an excavation on Avenue 60 yesterday,
when he dived into the pool, thinking
to take & swim. One of his compan
ions braved death in an endeavor to
save the boy's life, and another boy
ran for assistance to such a distance
that when he reached help and gasped
out his story he fell exhausted to the
ground, with blood gushing from nose
and mouth:
When, assistance arrived, dynamite
was resorted to to loosen Carlisle's
body from the clinging grip of the mud
into which he had sunk, but these ef
forts were futile, and the body was
nnany pulled out with pike poles.
