FACES "THIRD DEGREE"
. BEFORE F. P. WALSH
Merciless Questioning by
Chairman of Commission
on Colorado Strike and
Coal Prices Brings Pro
test From Millionaire.
MAYOIl RIDDLE WANTS OPEN
SUNDAY AT ATLANTIC CITY
WASHINGTON, Mny !t.-"I have no
Wore tight thnn lins nny other citizen
In this country to Interfere with or In
vfluenco tho course of Justice," toilny dc
clared John D. nocknlVdlcr, Jr., In a stnto
merit ho read when lie nRnln took the
stand beforo tho Industrial Itcmtlnin
Commlaslon.
Mr. Rockefeller resented the nttltudo of
Chairman Wnlflh, who yesterday subject
ed him to n senichlnR examination as
to his attitude toward the striking miners
In Colorado, and with particular regard
to the case of John H Lawson, a mem
ber of the t'nltcd Mltio Workers nf
America, who recently was convicted of
murder nnd sentenced t" life lmprlon-
ment In that Stale In connection with
tho Ludlow strike.
WALSH'S CHAROU.
Chairman WaUli chaipcd that W, W.
Wilson, one of the Jurors who found
Lawflon ffuilty, had been a traveling
talesman In the service of a hlscult com
pany which had anion privileges In the
Colorado fuel nnd Iron Company's
plants. Mr. Hockcfcller said that he
could not take a stand either cue wav
or another on the t,awon case, at such
on attitude on his pirt would bo an
unjustifiable and Imptoper Interference
With Justice.
In connection with tho appointment of
It. M. Bowers, as chairman of tho Board
of the Colorndo Kuel nnd Iron Compnny,
Walsh naked If Ilockefellcr hnd slmplv
put Bowers In without consulting others.
"I object to that method of putting a
question," said Hockcfcller "You Impty
wo have objectionable methods of filling
offices. You arc Implying Irregularities In
our methods of appointment." Ho added.
"Officers were elected nt regular stock
holders' meetings but when vacancies oc
curred In an Interim between such meet
ings tho board of directors followed tho
usual course of filling the vacancies."
SATIRE GALOnC.
"With reference to tho questions," said
Walsh, "If there aro nny you think Im
proper, please state the fact and they
will be considered by the whole com
mission later.
"Now, as for this high regard for the
Isw," continued the chairman, "It ex
tends, I suppose, to all the officers
charged with Its administration?"
"Yes."
"You have no contempt for officers of
the law who refuse to do your bidding?"
"I hnven't."
"You have respect?"
"I have."
"Do you first get them In a state of
coercion before you give them that re
spect?" "I don't undertake to get them Into any
atato."
Walsh took up tho matter of L. M.
Bowers' assignment to Colorndo. He rend
n letter written by Bowers to Rockefeller,
November IS, 1913, In which the foimer
Bald "Wo have been able to lino up nil
tha bankers," that the "little cowboy
Governor" would be brought to time;
that "every posslblo weapon" v. .is used
to keep Governor Ammons from "back,
sliding;" thnt "probably never beforo was
such pressure brought to bear on a Gov
ernor," that "taffy" was being used to
keep Ammons In tho right frame of mind.
Rockefeller objected that Bowers,
not he, wrote the letter.
"Wo have six lottors wrltforr by"y6ir;
vu.yinK you oncu up nn mat wns ncing
done In Color.ido," said Wnlsh.
.Rockefeller answered thnt he Ini
tiated no policy In Colorado; ho thought
It right to use every proper means to
protect their Interests, nnd If officials
were sluggish, to seek to move them to
do their duty Ho refused to admit any
impropriety In his own letter to
Bowers referring to material to he
used In a prospective letter from
Governor Ammons to President Wilson.
Asked If tho elder Rockefeller per
sonally directed affairs In Colorado,
Rockefeller said:
"My father is not in the habit of deal
ing personally with associates."
Chairman Walsh read an extract from
tho testimony of the Attorney General of
Colorado before the commission, In which
he stated that tho price of coal during
the winter of the strike had advanced
and was J3 to $10 a ton.
"Should the commission gather that
that statement Is untrue?" nsked Walsh.
"The commission will gather what It
pleases, but I claim tho same considera
tion given that statement for the state
ment of the president of my company,"
Jtocnereiler replied.
AS TO COAL PRICES.
Q, Did you na a director of a great
public utility know that the ptlce of coal
yraB prohibitive?
A, Mr. Welborn says that the price
was not changed except on nccount of
snow blockades.
Q. You have heard that your company
cheated In the weighing of coal?
A, I have heard that the operators did.
Q. You regard that as an abominable
crime, do you not?
A, Wo do not disagree on that.
Q, Did your company cheat?
A. Not to my knowledge.
Q, You combined with other operators
to tight the United Mine Workers did
you not?
A Not to light them.
Walsh asked Rockefeller If he would ?n
out to Colorado and see that miners
robbed by check Welshmen were reim
bursed. "I don't consider that my duty as a
citizen,"' Rockefeller said. He refused to
agree with Wash that he was an ao
cessory after the fact because he had
taken no action,
"As a director of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company," asked Walsh, "did you
or did you not know that coal prices were
prohibitive during the strike In Colorado?"
"I have Mr Wellborn's statement that
prices were not raised," said Rockefeller.
"Do you know what the price of coal

"TEETH" ABSENT FROM
NEW HOUSING BILL
IN COPIES SENT HERE
Nine Pages, Containing
Most Essential Features,
Missing and Commission
and Sociological Workers
Mystified.
Housing authorities and other sociolog
ical workers In this city were badly mys
tified today by finding that copies of the
compromise housing ball, Just passed by
tho Legislature, aro nine pages short. The
missing pages, from No 18 to 25, contain,
tho "teeth" of the now bill.
Conies of tho bill were received In this
clly today at the rooms of the Philadel
phia Housing Commission, In tho Empire
llulldlng, nnd by others Interested In
housing reform It was then discovered
that copies sent to this city from Harris
burg hnd nine pnKcs missing
A study of drafts of tho bill brought
to light tho fact that tho nlno pages con
tain what are considered the most es
sential point of the new bill. Included In
theso nro the provision giving tho city
power to forco tenants to move from In
sanitary houses, that prohibit owners from
keeping livestock or poultry In dwellings
nnd thnt forbidding tho use of dwellings
for sweat Bhops or factories of nny
description.
Bernard J. Newman, sccrotary of tha
Philadelphia Housing Commission, Is In
clined to bellcvo the mlSBlng nlno pages
nre due to nn error In the Stato Print
ing Department Nevertheless, ho nnd
other officials of the Housing Commission
will Investigate It was pointed out that,
ns tho Leglslaturo has adjourned, Phila
delphia will be without an adequato meas
uro If tho bill was passed with tho nlno
pages missing and signed by the Gov
ernor In thta condition. Mr. Newman
said:
"I do not know what It means, but
undoubtedly It Is duo to n mlstako In
tho printing department at Hnrrlsburg.
Wo will look Into tho matter, however,
and call It to tho attention of tho proper
authorities.
Tho falluro of City Councils to forco
owners of dwellings to obey tho law was
brought to tho nttentlon of representa
tives from 32 charltablo and social wel
fare Institutions yesterday nt the nn
nual meeting of tho Philadelphia Hous
ing Commission. The meeting was held
at tho headquarters of tho Ethical Cul
turo Society, 1321 Spruce street.
Bernard J. Newman, executive secre
tary of tho commission, rend a report
showing that but 30 per cent, of correc
tion had been made out of 2S31 serious
complaints. Ths total number of rnm.
plaints made was 6641, Involving 4S0I prop.
ertlef. Of this number 6439 were round
not to be without cause.
Mr. Newman pointed out that Iho real
reason for this small percentage, of cor
rections Is the fact that but $6000 was
appropriated for the work last year,
whllo In lfKM 26,000 was appropriated. Me
urged that warrants be Issued when other
means fall to make defiant owners obey
tho law. The report also condemned In
vigorous language the "sublime disre
gard" shown by Councils, even for the
mandamus of the courts, In neglecting
to provide for tho enforcement of tho 1813
code.
The report compares the Infant mor
tality rates of the 34th nnd tho 10th Wards
to show the effect of bad housing. In
the 34th Ward the rato Is 93 per thou
sand, whllo In the 10th Ward It Is 221
per thousand.
