Jan. 29.-W. W. Rog ers, a former policeman and later em ployed, by the Burns Detective agency here In Its Investigation of the Leo M. Frank murder case, testified for the state today In the trial of Dan S. Lehon. southern manager of the agency; C. C. Tedder, an employe, and Arthur Thur- man, a lawyer, charged with procuring false affidavits In connection woth the case from Rev. C. B. Rsgsdale and R. L. Barber. Rogers testified that Lehon aent him jto the homes of Ragsdalo and Barber on the evening of the day they signed the affidavits to tell them not to talk to anybody unless It was a Burns' agent, and to make tbe agent show a blue card before talking. Rogers said he never had heard Lehon talk to Ragsdale over the telephone. "Did you ever hear William J. Burns talk to Ragsdale over the telephone?" Solicitor Hugh Dorsey asked. "Yes," replied the witness. "Burns sent me to Ragsdale'a house to get names of people o testify to his good character. Ragsdale'a family turned me away at the door. When I reported this to Burns he called Ragsdale on the tele phone, but Ragsdale refused to talk." Replying to questions of defense at torneys, Ragsdalo held to his direct testimony that he had negotiated with Thurman, Tedder and Lehon for the sign ing of the affidavit and had been told: "There's 210,000 for you It thla thing goes through." Solicitor Dorsey Introduced In evidence an affidavit by Tedder, signed after RagadaJe had repudiated his affidavit Tedder stated he knew nothing of the affair until a few minutes before Rags dale and Barber signed the affidavits. when he said he aaw the men la Thur man's office. Tedder's affidavit con tinued: "l-ater the same day I ssw Lehon and said: 'Well, I understand the preacher made an affidavit,' to which Lehon re plied: 'Yea, Thurman got htm to come through ' " five reate rrvee If.

ELIOT PAYORS THE FOUNDATIONS Harvard Professor Sayi Rockefeller Donations Have Influence Over Colleges and Universities WORKMEN EAT TOO MUCH MEAT NEW YORK, Jan. 29. Rockefel ler donations to educational Institu tions have influenced tbe policies of presidents of universities and col leges In many instances, but tbe in fluence bas always bees good, said Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard university, today at the federal industrial commission's in quiry into philanthropic foundations and the causes of social unrest. The donations to which be refer red were made by the general edu cation board. Dr. Eliot said. As an Instance he cited John D. Rockefel ler's offer In 1908 to furnish .$1. 000,000 to Harvard university if the university would raise $875,000 ad ditional. . . This was before Dr. Eliot, became a member of the board of managers of the general education board., The witness said he applied to the elder Mr. Rocke feller for aid In the maintenance of new buildings greeted for the medical school of Harvard unlveralty4 Starr J. Murphy of Mr. Rockefeller's personal staff made an investigation ot tha buildings and the financial condition of the university, the witness said. Afterward Dr. Eliot called upon John D. Rockefeller, jr., and was told that Mr. Rockefeller, sr., was will ing to donate $1,000,000. conditional upon the unlvcrMty'a raising $S75,000. Dr. Eliot said he had not hoped to obtain as large a sum. Dr. Eliot said he was connected with the general education board and other philanthropic foundations established by Andrew Carnegie and Mr. Rockefeller. Ho thought the practice or Interlocking the directorates of such foundations was a good one. He thought that the) general education board had given $200,000,000 to education since 1H02. Stockholders In a corporation, Dr. Eliot testifed, were not responsible for labor conditions, he thought, unless their at tention was called forcibly to some par ticular wrong. Dr. Eliot said he believed that legisla tion providing for uniform minimum wage schedules and working hours wss a bad thing. "Conditions are different Itf all In dustries," said he. "What would be good for one body of workers would be bad for snother." One reason why workers found It so hard to mske their wages go as far aa they should. Dr. Eliot declared, was be cause they bought and ate too much meat. 1 In no case where the General Education board had made a donation, so far as the witness knew, had the board In vestigated the methods of a 'university, college or school or Its curriculum. There was only one condition attached to the board's endowments; that condition was that no part ot the money should be spent In teaching theology. The board made this condition. 'Dr. Elliot said, be cause it did not care to be placed in the light of assisting or supporting auy scot or religion. Dr. Eliot said he believed In organised labor, but did not believe in the cloaed shop. Personally he favored placing labor representatives In boards of di rectors. 1 WUer Tkaa f.everwmeat. To be possessed ot $100,(KO.OOO as a "grave misfortune," Dr. Eliot said. He added that If he possessed that sum he would try to get rid of it. He did not believe, with Dr. John II. Holmes, that the government could best turn the money back to the poo pie. Governments are not always wise, he asserted, and foundations ' such as the Rockefeller foundations could best take care of the money by giving the 'people education and bettering their condition. He did not think that the great foundations menace. On the contrary, ha believed that tbev ftrri at benefit la all mn. kind. The Rockefeller boards and founda tions, he thought, constituted the most admirable system of benefitting human ity the world haa ever known. In duatria! pesce can ever rome.i he declared, ao long aa both labjr and capital employ the "n.ethoda of fight" they are using now. The panacea was "Industrial democracy and publicity.' MRS.
