f'lAL I:EAiiOIiY FIND. Invesstigation oj the Charge Against Dr. Alitclu il?Kepre>e>atative i'eabody Hoard Makes Statement Columbia, February 6.?That it was the inter.tion of Mr. George Peabjdy that part cf the fund for education in the South should be given to negroes; - * l 3 (that two committees or me Doaru acommcnded that th-e balance or tbe fund after the final distribution should ibe devoted to negro education, and that no r^c^i'ion looking to the distribution of the endowment which did not i cJude som: provision for such ? TT-rmi>i havA h^n considered (crvjuvcfcciv/ii, n vuiu ? ? by the board, were the principle points brought out at the second hearing of the committee to investigate the charges against President S. C. Mitchell, of the University of South Carolina, this afternoon. Most of the afternoon wa^ occupied in taking the testimony of former uovernor Ansel, who is at present a member of the' Peabody board. That, in his opinion, no officiaal of the University of South Carolina had ever attacKed me lniertsis ui iuuh up vjuilege;, that if $100,000 had b:en appropriated for each of the State unlversi-1 r> ties of the South, there would have re- j "mailed nore of the fund to be distributed for negro education or any oth-ei ruir'c*e: that under the plan eubmitted by th?e 12 university presidents, the negroes would receive less of the fund than under any plan ewer considered by the Pe-sody board; that in all of the committee reports to the board the State University had always jbee* mentioned for an appropriation of at least $40,000, and that neither BL AVinthrop nor any other normal school ^Pwas ever considered in such reports; rthat ex-Governor Ansel had diverted an appropriation of $40,000 for the j State University to Winthrop College, were some of the matters attested to ^ by Mr. Ansel. I Dr. Johnson was recalled to the stand f at the beginning of the session, and in the course of his testimony reiterated much that was said on yesterday. , \lt has been clearly established that Winthrop received $90,000 from the Peabody board, whereas the governor, in his inaugural address, asserts that "if this underhanded fight had not B 'been waged against her, I am in?ormr .ed that Winthrop would have gotten I $90,000." a Dr. Johnson stated that he did not r know of a trip North made by Dr. f Mitehell, of which the governor spoke, the latter asserting that, as a result of > it, Winthrop had been kept out of certain funds. All of the testimony submitted by Dr. Johnson thus- far has been to show that Winthrop College was held in high esteem by officials or the fund, and that it had been collie temrilated by members of the board to ["remember Wii^throp handsomely in the final distribution." It has been shown that this dors not occur in the p=cord of the board, and Dr. Johnson's suppositions are based largely on personal letters. Dr. Johnson was asked by Senator Weston: "Two committee reports to the board recommended an appropriation for .each of the Southern universities of $40,000, the University of South Carolina included. All of the universities got theirs except the University here; do you know who is responsible for ^ "I do not know, but I am responsi ble, through Governor Ansel, for WinB throp's getting her $90,000," repliel Dr. Johns-en. I Ex-Governor Ansoi was asked the !$ game question and re-plied; "I took the responsibility. I suppose that the Unlm* vensity would have gotten her $40,000 if I had not requested that it be given to Winthrop." It was brought out that Governor Ansel, while a member of the board, ' - >--> r> fvnrsnnr: p tiOTl of fH23-Q reCt/JUiixi-c ijucvi ciu a.^F'- vr- ? Bte.000 for each of the Southern States "be used in paying the salaries of school supervisors for the negro schools. j "We felt that a portion of the fund should be used for th-e> education of negroes, as was th-e> intention of Mr. J Peabody," he said. Governor Ansel in the- beginning of j his testimony showed that the Pea'oody j ttoo oot ocnrfo hv of ifr-i! H lUlIU noo o>-v uoiuv ? ? I ' founder, not by will, as supposed. Ons I of these letters says that thf> fund is ft to be distributed among the entire popB ulation of the South without other disH wL tinction than their needs. Mr. Ansel said that to him this was conclusive that members of the board were bound i fek> give part of it to the education of; B|e stated that he had tried to get the board to appropriate $200,000 for j ^FWinthrcp and $40,000 for the Univer- j ?sitv of South Carolina, but failing in j Bthis he had advi-?9d that $34,000 of: the appropriation intended for the Uni-i Hper^ity be given to Winthrop, along ftrith $50,000 originally intended for Blarvard and that the University get B>nly $6,000 for a schorarship fund. Rrhis was done. His reason wag ho iv. s a gre: "a ivoeat^ of woman o lucation in perferenco to that of hk n whore both could not be obtained. Asked by Mr. Welch, do you think that Winthrop got a smaller appropriation by reason of th-e action of the president of the University? he replied, "I cannot say." Questions by Senator Weston brought out the fact that the fund at first amounts $3,000,000; that this amount wa? decreased by an appropriation of $1,500,000 for the Peabody College, of Nashville, Term., and $400,000 tor nen/liinitinn o r\ fhlt if tu'oll'A ("if tll? | CUUVauvii, nu a *. w??v. w w? State universities of the South received $100,000 each, there would have been nothing left for the negroes.

Charges "Without Foundation/* The report, with the exception that B. F. Arthur, when a member of the Ansel commission overcharged the State, says of the charges made by Governor Blease that they are "wholTv nnsunnorted by the testimony an* therefore without foundation in fact." Attorney General Lyon and the memj bers of the Ansel Commission, Dr. W. J. Murray, chairman; J. S. Brice, Avery ; Patton, John McSween, A. H. Wood, 1 are exonerated of all charges mad-? I against them. The committee thinks that Thcs.

The majority of the report is a repetition of the charges, -made by the governor and the refuting them, se^ion by section, from the testimony adduced, all of which is made a part of the report.
