f ASSAIL THE TRUSTS
IH?UGNS JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER'S
MOTIVES
?.?
MAKES BITTER SPEECH
j ?
Bays the Kflfort to Incorporate the j
i
Rockefeller Foundation Is a Proposal
to Farm Out to Him and 1
Associates the Right to Educate
the People on Tainted Money.
Efforts in congress to Incorporate
the $100,000,000 Rockefeller Foundation
were scored Monday by Senator
Works who declared them a "pro
posal to 'farm out' to John 1). Rockefeller
and his associates the right
and power to educates the people of
tho country with money accumulated
by criminal means." Senator
Works' statement was made in connection
with a speech ho delivered
in tho Senate Monday on trusts and
combination, the existence of which
ho blamed the high protective tariff
policy.
"The extent to which this may be
carried out ia practically unlimited.
The corporations and institutions of
learning which may bo established
throughout tho country in tho hands
of people who will be subservient to
to tho interests and views of Mr.
Rockefeller and his associates are
without number of limitation," said
tho senator.
We do not want our children to bo
taught the ways nor tho methods of
John D. Rockefeller or his kind, nor
to bo generous with ill-gotten gains,
gold that should blister the lingers
of the man who has accumulated it
by extortion, oppression, and crime,
and is now attempting to rid himself
of it by giving it away, nor to become
the receivers of stolen goods
in the name and under the guise of
charity."
The continued existence of trusts
and monopolies, the senator said,
was due to the Inadequacy of the
Sherman anti-trust law which he declared
should be so amended that
specific restraints of trade shall bo
unlawful with suitable punishment
for those who violate the law. While
he was not in favor of a high protective
tariff which fostered capitalistic
combination, he said ho would bo
ia favor of an effort to protect the
wage earner in his earnings and that
ha believed it would be "an excellent
tl ing to harmonize the tariff and
WArfgeB".
"The Interstate Commerce Commission,"
continued the senator,
"should be allowed to determine
whether fair wages are being paid
by any concern; and if not, to compel
the employer employing foreign
laborers and paying European wages
to pay the same tariff on its manufactured
goods that are enforced
against foreign importations until
its wages are increased to a fair
scale for American workmen. If a
higher tariff did in fact protect the
wage earner I would cheerfully
stand for its continuance, even at the
expense of higher prices to the consumer.
The evident purpose of the
so-oalled tariff experts is, so far a*
progress has been made, to deprive
the farmers, who are themselves laboring
men and wago earners in most
cases, of all protection and preserve
it to the trust and millionaire manufacturers
and business men can
compete with tho world and make
profits. They can and do sell their
goods cheaper than at home. With
the farmer, in many cases, it is different.
"The wage earner must be protect
od in his earnings and reasonable
hours of labor, tho consumer in reasonable
prices,, and the whole people
must be protected in their independence
and liberty. Equality of all
men must bo made a reality and not
a theory. If tho Democratic party
can and will accomplish these results,
demanded by the people, it may
live and maintain Itself in power. If
it does not, its reign will be brief.
If neither of the old parties can or
will restore the government to the
people as our forefathers handed it
down, then a new party will be raised
up that will do the people's will.
It will be a party of the people's own
making, founded on justice, fair
dealing, and disinterested patriotism.
I am ready to give the Democratic
party a fair trial. I am willing to
wait and see and to lend my aid to
that r*rty or any other to bring
about just and beneflcient laws
through and by which the whole people
may be brought into their own
and their just rights fostered and
protected."

Inside of thirty days or six weeks,"
doolarpd a nrniiiinpnt Democratic.
Benator Monday when he heard that
the California sonate had "railroaded"
a speedy passago the anti-alion

The senator who gave voice to this
alarming statement is in no sense
pessimist, nor is he 0110 of those
who condemn the attitude of the Californians
toward the Japanese. Ho
is a strong states-rlghter and believes
that California has tho right to deal
with the question as it sees fit.
"Japan could easily land 250,000
soldiers in California within a few
weeks," ho continued. "The Mikado
could take possession of tho state
and all its resources and industries
and soon pay off tho big war indebtedness
which somo persons believe
is one of tho things that will prevent
tho Japanese from fighting the United
States at this time.

At New York Monday twenty !
blushing brides ran down the gang

grooms. Gladness reigned until the
immigration authorities found that
oight of the girls could not prove ,
their identity and told them they
could not remain unless they were ,
married at Ellis Island, the immigration
detention station. When the
other twelve heard this they said
they would all stand together and
the twenty left for the island to find

came from Scotland and Ireland and
the immigration authorities said ,
they were the prettiest as well as the (

apancse Kmbassy Handed Copy of (
California's Alien Ilill?Ambassa- [

Oilier Alleged Violation of Trea- '
ties llcing Discussed.
? I
The Japanese ombassy was sup- '
died by the State department M011lay
with a copy of the alien land 1
>wning bill passed by the California
legislature and the ambassador will 1
Mnploy the time between now and
secretary Bryan's ^return to Wasliingon
in preparing a formal protest i
igainst measure. Apparently the <
mbassy has no hope that any word <
President Wilson may send after Sec- i
etary Bryan returns will influence
Governor Johnson to withhold his i
signature from the Act, so the only i
)bject of the protest will be to acluaint
tho American people with the <
Japanese contention, and, if possible, i
o influence tho executive branch of
he Government to endeavor to nullify
the action of the California Legisature.
The ombassy will make known the
ground of its protest in a diplomatic
lote to Secretary Bryan. It is well
mderstood that to settle the question
10 matter what may be the point of
objection, will require the action of
die United States Courts and much
jonsidoration must bo given to the
[irocedure to bo followed in arranging
for a judicial tost of the California
law. It will bo for Secretary
Bryan to determine whether the United
States Government itself shall become
a narty to a suit of this kind,
In the MHcity of an Intervener. In
torn'" n;;i lawyers liint that tho Admini?
ation is in an exceedingly dellc:
" position for tho reason that,
^ hilt? apparently a champion of tho
lapanese through the Secretary of
State before the California Legislature,
probably from this point on it
must defend tho California law
against Japan in the diplomatic
struggle about to begin.
If the department should adopt the
California contention that the land
law does not violato the existing
treaty with Japan, then it might feel
bound to refuse to submit the issue
to arbitration by Tho Hague Tribunal.
Furthermore, it is contended
that tho United States Government
probably would bo unable to enforce
the decree of the Tribunal in case it
should be adverse to California, if
the American Courts found that the
State acted within its rights in enacting
the law. No case has yet been
found where the Supreme Court has
passed upon the relative force of a
tieaty which invades the reserved
constitutional powers of a sovereign
State and of a conflicting law of such
State. So the State department has
nothing to guide it in that direction
and probably must establish a precedent
in disposing of this issue.
It developed Monday that, as a result
of the centering of attention upon
the California situation, a number
of the diplomatic representatives in
Washington have been informally
discussing the conferring over alleged
violations of treaties by many
States of tho Union. Violations are
said to have occurred particularly in
connection with cases involving the
disposition of tho property of aliens
who have died intestate in this country
and in which local State Courts
have taken jurisdiction in defiance of
treaties.
Altogether there are indications of
i feeling of unrest that may lead to
demands upon the National Government
which could not bo complied
with without a general rearrangement
of the functions of the State
overnments, so far as they concern
aliens.
PARDONS THREE NEGROES.

The Governor Monday paroled
Sing Smith, colored, who was convicted
of assault and battery with intent
to kill at the February, 1913,
term of Court for Abbeville County
and sentenced to one year 011 the
chain gang. The parole was recommended
by the party whom Smith
shot and was signed by a number of
citizens. Tho Governor issued a parole
to Henry Roberts, alias Henry
Johnson, colored, who was convicted
of manslaughter at Dillon in 1911
and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment.
Tho commutation was

W. H. Hedgepeth, an Oklahoma
farmer, while mentally unbalanced,
jumped from a moving car at Atchison,
Kan. He told officers that once
a year, late in April, he became insane
and imagines he is a dog until
the spoil has passed. Ho attributes
the trouble to the fact that his mother
became terror-stricken when a dag

JSED MEN AS SAND BAGS
ro STOP HUSH OF WATER AND
SAVE THE LEVEE.
'oloreri .Men Risk Their Lives in Successful
Effort to lH<??o Breach in
the Biver Bank.
Cjuick work by determined farmers
and a small bunch of willing negroes
who wcro thrown into an in ipient
crevasse in the absence of
mnd bags saved another disaster
ilong the turbulent Mississippi river,
rilo (ifl'/pn ln'i'rnfu vutif* lnv In tlwi
mp of the Paydras levee, holding
jack the water until sand bags could
jo filled to take their places, risked
[heir lives, but saved tho day when
t appeared hopeless to even try to
hold the fast crumbling embankment.
The Poydras levee, which is only
1 3 miles south of New Orleans, began
to cavo rapidly shortly after five
o'clock Saturday morning. When the
caving was discovered the entire batture
in front of tho Poydras store,
100 feet wide and extending from
the levee to tho river bank 200 feet
out, had caved and a small gap in the
levee had gone. Tho alarm was given
and within twenty minutes a score
of negroes were brought up by a
planter who lives a few hundred
yards south of tho scene. Tho levee
was caving rapidly and when this
small force arrived wflter about two
Inches deep was pouring over the embankment.
It seemed too late to prevent the
crash. A desperate chance was taken
when two 1 2-inch boards were put
along the top of the broken levee and
a dozen negroes accepted the task of
holding it in place. These human
sand bags might be taken with the
very next slice of the levee, but they
hold on until a row of bags filled with
dirt were put in place behind the
hoards. Other bags were hastily
slipped into tho gap and soon a hundred
more negroes and white men
were working like ants filling sacks
and carrying the filled bags to the
gap.
Then, without wnrnlntr *V?? .rtl-.

fell away to the depth of 2 8 feet. A
second row of bags held the water
back and within an hour 2,000 of the
dirt-filled sacks were in place and the
caving was temporarily checked and,
for the time, the levee was saved.

The overwhelming Democratic majority
in the House Tuesday swept
through the free list, bowled over all
opposition to free wool, tree meats
and other necessities and passed on
to consideration of the hundred million
dollar income tax feature of the
Underwood tariff bill. Not a cent
made in the bill as approved by the

It was expected the measure would

by to-morrow.
All day thero was sparring across
the aisle dividing the Democrats and

effort to put many freo listed
articles back on the dutiable list, but
all were voted down with a regularity
that brought smiles from the minority;

Representativo Payno precipitated a
lively rules tight by offering a brand
new amendment to create a tariff
commission.
Instantly all the parliamentary
sharps on both si 'es were astir.
Speaker Clark sat next to Democratic
Leader Underwood at the front
of the speaker's rostrum where Mr.
Underwood has been conducting consideration
of the bill. Representative
Fitzgerald, of New York, rushed
is from the appropriations committee
armed with precedents and followed
by Representatives Shirley, of Kentucky,
and Hardwick, of Georgia,
who joined in the majority protest
against admitting the amendment.
On the Republican side, Leader
Mann, Representative Gardner, of
Massachusetts, Representative Payne
of New York, and others conferred
and addressed the House.
It was all over quickly, Representative
Garrett, of Tennessee, in the
chair, sustaining a point of order
made by Mr. Underwood that the tariff
commission amendment was not
germane to the bill. When Repre1
sentative Mann appealed from the
decision the House sustained the
chair, 164 to 87.
Representative Hull, of Tennessee,
chief draftsman of the income tax
feature of the tariff bill, prepared tonight
to assist a campaign by the minority
to amend the details of the
proposed law. He expected a sharp
fight on behalf of the mutual fire ini
surance companies, which would be
taxed 1 per cent under the measure.
Provisions affecting almost verbatim
from the corporation tax law already
in effect, but to avoid any possible
question, a committee amendment
was prepared to eliminate even the
slightest variation from the existing
law.

of Columbia, who is well known
in political circles in South Carolina,
against the confirmation of Justice
Charles A. Woods to succeed Sena'

charges that, in the proceedings
