That the south will feel keenly the loss of the great Jewish philan thropist, more than any other sec tion of the nation, was the senti ment expressed by J. M. Chiles executive secretary of the Butler Street Y. M. C. A. when interview ed shortly after word was receivec here of Mr. Rosenwald's death. . It was the personal gift of $25, 1000 contributed in~ 1918 by Mr Rosenwald that was the deciding factor in the construction of the $150,000 Butler Street branch here Mr. Chiles revealed. The Butle: street branch is only one of 25 Ne gro branches, which were madc possible by personal contribution: from the noted chairman of the Sears, Roebuck company.

Though definite figures as to the sums donated toward local schools was not available Thursdav data at the office of the Commis sion on Interracial Co-operation in the Standard building here showed that Mr. Rosenwald had made sub- | stantial donations to Spelman and Morchouse college and to Morris Brown and Atlanta universities.
