OIL KING AND SON
BITTERLY SCORED
IN STRIKE REPORT
Rockefellers Blamed for
Murder, Arson and Law
lessness in Colorado
'ANTI-SOCIAL AUTOCRAT"
CHICAao, Aug. 27. The Rockefellers
aro blamed for the miners' strikes In
Colorado In lili andJ914 and the disorder,
murder and arson tnat accompanied the
disturbances in a 40-pago abstract, made
public by Qeorge P. West, of tho United
States Commission on Industrial Rela
tions, in his report of tho causes and
effect of the mining troubles.
The responsibility for the strikes Is
placed on tho operators and tho Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. John D. Rocke
feller and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., are
declared to have been the leaders In.
formulating and carrying out strike poli
cies. Governor Ammons, of Colorado, and
other State and county ofllclals and tho
militia also aro blamed and scathingly
condemned In tho abstract of the West
report.
The Rockefellers are charged with the
selection of Incompetent and reactionary
agents and with giving their heartfelt
Indorsement and support to these of
ficials after they had taken action that
precipitated the werst of tho trouble.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Is charged with
having Ignored tho will of the President
of tho United States and with having ap
proved measures to coerce tho State of
Colorado.
BLAMED FOR BLOODSHED.
Tho abstract says In part:
"During all tho seven tragic and bitter
months that preceded Xaidlqw, Mr. Rocke-ffllcr-iwroto
. letter after letter In en-
nM??a!c
reign or terror and bloodshed, it was
only when the massacre of Ludlow filled
th6 press of the nation with editorial de
nunciation, when mourners in black si?
lently paraded before the New York office,
when cartoons Jn the conservative press
pilloried him and his father before an
angry public that he at last complacently
gavo way to concern In his letters and'
telegrams to Denver.
"Mr. Rockefeller's responsibility has a
signltlcance beyond even tho sinister re
sults of his policy In Colorado. The
perversion of and contempt for govern
ment, tho disregard of public welfare and
tho defiance of public opinion during
the Colorado strike must be considered
as only one manifestation of the auto
cratic and nnti-soclal spirit of a man
whoso enormous wealth gives him Infinite
opportunity to act in similar fashion in
broader fields."

AMICABLE END
OF ARABIC CASE

Germany Ready to Accedo
to All' Demands of
United States
APOLOGY AND DISAVOWAL
LUsitania Case Quietly 'Being
Settled Between Gerard
and Von Jagow
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.
Extreme optimism prevailed In Admlnls.
tratton circles today following n second
conference between Count von Bernstorfl
and Secretary of State Lansing. This
was truo both at the White House and
at tho State Department. It was accepted
that thcro would bo no hitch In reaching
n complete understanding with Germany
whereby In tho future her submarln
warfare will bo conducted along lines
demanded by the United States.
It was learned this afternoon that the
memorandum which Ambassador von
Bernstorft handed Secretary Lansing
pledged satisfaction to the American
Government In terms far stronger than
even tho most optimistic, had hoped for,
It is declared that Germany has given
assurance that tho submarine commander
will bo fully punished if It Is fully proved
that one deliberately sank the Arabic. In
"Washington circles this afternoon this
news was greeted with great satisfaction.
Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, has con
firmed tho statements made by the Ger
man Ambassador here that Germany has
Instructed her submarlno commanders
that there shall bo no further torpedo
ing without warning of steamships on
which thcro might bo Americans.
Intimates of Count von Bernstorft flatly
declared that at last ho had prevailed
over the German naval extremists,
headed by Grand Admiral von Tirpltz.
They say that tho recent statements of
the Imperial Chancellor and foreign
Minister von Jagow havo been almost a
duplication of language used by the Am
bassador In his suggestions as sent to
Berlin. The new policy, they Insist, was
framed by von Bernstorft, and marks
the first well-defined effort on the part
of Germany to line up neutral sentiment
on her side. .
According to German Embassy sources,
the question of accepting responsibility
for the Lusitanla and making reparation
for the American victims of that tragedy
Is being handled !n Berlin through Am
bassador Gerard. All that Count von
Bernstorft has been directed to do Is to
restoro an amlcablo understanding and
prevent any break In diplomatic rela
tions as a retiult of tho sinking of the
Arabic It Is reliably reported that Am
bassador von Bernstorft made It plain that
Germany would give satisfaction in full
for tho sinking of the Arabic. This was
UtalM'tr tok-moanvthattait apology will "be.
sent the United States, if it Is proved that
a German submarine sept the Arable, to
the bottom.
Ambassador von Bernstorft today pre
sented to Secretary Lansing n copy of his
instructions received from the German
Foreign Office. These Included the sum
mary of the instructions that already
have been Issued to German submarine
commanders.
It is understood that von Bernstorft
talked very frankly to Lansing. He told
him that Germany valued the friendship
of tho United States too much to sacrifice
it to a momentary success.
Secretary Lansing stated afterward
that ho could not mako public at this
time any of tho cablegrams received from
Ambassador Gerard. He admitted frank
ly that the messages deal entirely with
tho submarine campaign, and that the
Ambassador has made plain how Impor
tant this Government believes It tc bo
that a complete understanding be reached
at this time. The secretary's entire atti
tude was extremely hopeful, but he said
that until the entire question is settled
no official statement will bo made by his
department.
The memorandum that tho' Ambassador
left with Secretary Lansing was submit
ted to President Wilson this afternoon.

her brother.
The health of the young man started
to decline when It became evident that
his sister Would die. After her death
other, members of the family had diffi
culty making him eat and sleep. He
became despondent, and so ill that it was
necessary to call in a physician.
When the body was prepared for the
view of relatives and friends an effort
was made by the father to keep his son
away, but It was futile. The young man
insisted on going Into the room alone be
fore neighbors arrived, The first in
