TURNED DOWN OFFER

Made by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to Pay for a White Slave Probe.

CITY WILL MEET EXPENSE

(American News Service) New York, Feb. 5. So interested has John D. Rockefeller, junior, become in the so-called White Slave traffic question, which the special grand jury of which he was foreman, looked into last month, that he offered to donate $25,000 out of his own pocket for a complete investigation. The offer was refused by District Attorney Whitman and Judge O'Sullivan. The board of estimate, at .Mr. Whitman's request, appropriated the money. The grand jury investigation did not accomplish much beyond revealing conditions which have been familiar for years to men and women who know anything about life in big communities. But the grand jury struck several trails which promise to produce big results if caretully followed. Experts said it would cost at least $25,000 for the hire of private detectives and enlistment of the interest of persons who could discover real facts. With this contingency in mind, Mr. Rockefeller came forward with his

offer of financial assistance. But O'Sullivan and Whitman held that the question was of sufficient importance to warrant the expenditure of public funds, and Mayor Gaynor and members of the board of estimate, agreed with that view.

IS BURNING ISSUE School Question in Little Jacksonville Arousing Much Interest.

WANT ONE BIG BUILDING

Residents of Jackson township in Preble county are considerably wrought up over the school problem at present. For some time there has been an agitation to close the several small schools in the township and erect one large school building, where all the children in the township may attend. Several days ago a vote was taken in regard to the matter and the election resulted in 110 residents being for the proposition and 108 against it. It is said by those who favor the matter that plans will be drawn up for the erection of a $25,000 building, thoroughly equipped and in every respect to be a strictly modern school. , A hack will be employed by the residents to carry all of the children in the township to and from the school. However those who are against the proposition contend that the school is a useless and unnecessary expense. One argument advanced by those favoring the plan is the fact that it will necessitate the employment of fewer teachers. It is contended that it will be a saving in this respect, besides a great benefit to future generations. What the outcome will be is a matter of considerable speculation and it is said that it may probably be carried to court before final settlement is made in view of the bitter feeling which has resulted.

PARIS NEEDS FOOD

(American News Service) Paris, Feb. 5. Food is the chief problem of Paris now. The amelioration of conditions in the refugee camps and among the thousands housed in municipal buildings taxes every resource of the authorities. Clothing and other supplies are also lacking. The entire city, however, has turned to the task, society women taking a leading part. Automobile relief routes have been established and the soup kitchen and bread line system is being perfected. The river continues to fall, today being nearly 12 feet below the crest.

A TUNNEL COLLAPSE

(American News Service) Madrid, Feb. 5. A report from Andulasia says that the floods today caused the collapse of a railroad tunnell being built in the mountains there and that at least twenty men have been entombed. The report adds that it will take weeks to clear the wreckage sufficiently to reach the bodies.
