SOCIALIST WOHAN BURIESHATCHET Mrs. Zilberman For gives John D. Rocke feller. Jr.. for Having Her Arrested HE AGAIN GREETS "MOTHER" JONES Interesting Sidelights as Millionaire Testifies Before the Industrial Re lations Commission on the Principles of the Rockefeller Foundation Bp Associated Press. New York. Jan. 27. —Mrs. Belle Zilberman, who was arrested last sum mer in the Standard Oil building here while taking p>art in the so-called mourners' parade, as a protest by the Industrial Workers of the World against the shooting of miners at Lud low, greeted Mr. Rockefeller to-day when he reached the City Hall where the Industrial Relations Commission hearings are held. Yesterday she said she "forgave Mr. Rockefeller" for having her arrested. To-day she brought him "a message of good will." Mr. Rockefeller shook hands and chatted with her for several minutes. "We are products of two classes," Mrs. Zilberman said. "You represent the capitalistic class while I am a So cialist. There is a struggle on between these classes." Two Classes Should Meet "Yes, unfortunately," replied Mr. Rockefeller. "There ought to be some ground upon whieh we can meet and come to a better understanding with each other." "1 don't believe philanthropy will ever bring us together." Mrs. Zilber man replied. "There will have to be some compromise between the classes. " On the witness stand Mr. Rockefeller said he did not believe the Rockefeller foundation would ever, or could, within the terms of its charter, participate in politics, the defense of trusts or any-' thing other than its stated philan thropic purposes. He did not believe the powers of the foundation were un limited. "Could it circulate a party plat formes" asked Chairman Walsh. "No such things has ever been thought of," the witness replied. "Cer tainly no such thing could ever be at tempted. What Foundation Couldn't Do "Under its charter, might not your foundation circulate editorial criti cisms of • the government or the churches? Might it not buy a chain of stores, organize a real estate company or conduct propaganda in favor of trade unions or workmen's compensation?" Mr. Rockefeller thought the founda tion could not do such things. He had not considered the questions, he said. Chairman Walsh cited a hypotheti cal case in which the foundation might desire to have circulated a speech of \V. L. Maskenzie King, opposing cer tain suggestions which might be made by Frank V. Hayes, of the United Mine Workers of America. Mr. Walsh asked if the funds of the foundation could be used to circulate Mr. King's speech. Mr. Rockefeller thought thev could be. Foundation 100 Years From Now There was no danger, the witness thought, in the possibility that 100 years from now the directors of the foundation might not be men of the same high standards and ideals as the present directors. He was asked wheth er he had objected to a "court of last csort," consisting of the President of the United States, the Governor of New York and the presidents of several uni versities, such ourt having the power ot veto over the Rockefeller founda tion. Mr. Rockefeller said he had none. He did not think such an amendment to the charter of the Rockefeller foun dation was necessary however. Chairman Walsh read the terms of the deed of git't transferring SIOO,- 000,000 front Mr. Rockefeller, Sr., to the foundation. They stated that $2.- 000,000 a year should be set aside out of the income for the personal bene factions of Mr. Rockefeller, Sr., and tnat the remainder should be turned into the general treasury of the foun dation. The total income of the foun dation last year, the witness said, was *0,000.000.' Effects of a Backslider Commissioner Garretson then began to question the witness. "Suppose a backslider developed in one of the board?" asked the commis sioner. "We have not even considered that question." said the witness. "He would certainly be in the minority and couid ] not do much." Mr. Garretson asked the witness ! whether he thought that at some time in the future the great philanthropic i foundations might try to dominate the churches, the schools and people as the German militarist idea had done since 1870. The witness didn't think so. The people of the United States would never tolerate such a thing, he declared and, j moreover, the foundation had no such j idea. Their idea was to bring a>bout better conditions. Mr. Rockefeller said he did not be lieve union leaders should have the right to call strikes without consulting the workers themselves. Neither did I he think employes should have the right to stop work without appealing to their constituency. Place Ban on Untruthful " What s the function of a publicity agent? asked Commissioner Garrett son. "Is he hired to 'put across'l statements, or to tell the truth?" "If he didn't tell the truth T cer-1 tainlv would have nothing to do with j him.' replied the witness. He was tflad to say he believed em- j plovers of labor were'coming more and' more to lend the helping hand to their ! employes. Personally, he would lend a helping hand in every wav to his em ployes. He added that it would be a valuable help to directors of corporations if rep resentatives of labor would make sug gestions regarding methods of improv ing the condition of the workers. Commissioner Weinstock read figures l;;ken from Mr. Rockefeller's testi mony of yesterday which hail to do tith the earnings of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. He said he had computed that for every dollar re ceived bv the company labor got 38 cents capital 9 cents and a fraction and that 52 and a fraction went to de preciation, reserve and so on. Mr. Rockefeller said the figures were right, anil, he pointed out, that part of the nine cents earned by capital went to the payment of debts. Again Greets "Mother"' Jones During the mid-dav recess Mr. Rocke feller and "Mother" Jones had anoth er meeting. They were photographed shaking hands. "After we have our conference.'' said "Mother" Jones. "I want you to come out to Colorado with me and see the things I have seen. I am sure what you will see wil, make you do things which will make you one of the country's greatest men." Mr. Rockefeller smiled and said. "I'm afraid you are inclined to throw compliments.'' "Oh, no, - ' replied "Mother" Jones. "I am more inclined to throw bricks.'' Mr. Rockefeller said he might go to Colorado with "Mother" Jones.

DAMAGED BV A SUBMARINE, GAZELLE ABLE TO REACH PORT Berlin, Jan. 27, By Wireless to Say ville. —Little military news of import ance from any of the fields of laud war fare has been male public in -Berlin nfuring the past few days, and the Ger man military writers have had virtual ly nothing to say. What nerws has been given out, however, is regarded as showing the steady development of the German plans everywhere. The attack by a submarine on the small German cruiser Gazelle off the is land of Ruegen has given rise to specu lation as to whether a British or a Rus sian undersea boat was responsible. British ships have been reported in the Baltic, but nevertheless there is a ten dency to believe that the Russians de livered this attack. The Gazelle, though damaged by the submarine, was able to make port unassisted. AISTRIANS HAVE BETTER OF THE FIGHTING IN GALIIIA Berlin.

GODFATHER ASKS RELEASE Took Grandson in Home and Reared Him According to Promise Eighteen years ago to-day the grand father of a then three-inonth-old rosy cheeked babv boy, gave assurance to the then Directors of the Poor that he would take the child into his home, rear and educate him and put the youngster on a good basis for making a livelihood. To-dav that same grand father with the grown up grandson ob tained from the Directors a release from that responsibility, he having ful ly complied with his agreement. The grandson, however, will not leave the home in which he was brought up. The release to-day was a mere formal ity. The boy now is a student in the Technical High school and the grand father said: "I am verv proud of the lad." Fans at a Fire. In Boston not long ago a fire broke out in the basement of a building oc cupied by a wholesale paint aud chem ical concern. The fumes and smoke became so thick that it was impossible for the firemen to enter the basement. A half dozen of the ordinary sixteen inch size electric fans were quickly requisitioned by the tire chiefs anil their breeze directed down the stair way. As soon as the rear basement windows were broken to nib w the es cuie of the smoke and fumes the ef fect of the funs gradually cleared the basement, so that the firemen could work easily.

TO VETO IHBATION BILL President Wilson's Intention Made Known at Conference With Senate and House Committees B : Associated Press, Washington, Jan. 27. —It was stated; authoritatively to-day that President j i Wilson will veto the immigration bill \ because of the literacy test. This be- I came known after a conference between ! the President and committees of both ; Houses of Congress which had the I measure in charge. j For nearly two hours the President | listened to arguments by Representa i fives Burtnett, of Alabama; dabath, of Illinois; Gardner, of Massachusetts, and Senators Lodge, of Massachusetts, an'* Robinson, of Arkansas. During the hearing Senator Lodge voiced what some of those present con- j strued as an intimidation to the Presi dent that if the bill were vetoed it! would be repassed by both Senate and House. Representative Saliath alone asked the President to veto the bill. Senator Lodge told the President he I believed the literacy test wrs the best feasible method for restricting immi gration. Mr. Sa'bath contended there was no puiblie demand for the bill and Senator Lodge replied that the over whelming vote in its favor in both Houses of Congress was proof to the ! contrary. The President was unshaken in his opposition to the literacy test and plans to return the bill to Congress to-mor row with a message giving his opposi tion to the test as the reason for his veto. CAN'T KEEP MAIN OFF BRIDGE Petitioners Submit Protest But Law Makes Their Objections Futile About three hundred residents of Middletown, Royalton and the sur rounding townships have attached their signatures to a petition presented to the County Commissioners to-day ask ing that the county refuse to the Mid dletown and Swatara Consolidated Water Company permission to lay its twelve inch feed main on the new con crete county bridge over the Swatara creek between Middletown and Royal ton. The petition was marked "filed," but the Commissioners were advised by the County Solicitor, Colonel Pred M. Ott. that even though they have a de sire to grant the request' of the peti tioners, they cannot do so under the law. The right to lay the water main on the county bridge had been granted to the water company by a former board of County Commissioners, free of charge, and the present board of Com missioners has compelled the water company to pay an annual rental of $25 for the use of the bridge PROBING KILLING OF STRIKERS Many Witnesses Yet to Be Heard by Grand Jury By Associated Press, New Brunswick, N.

The point raised by the District Attorney '' why should any hunter be compelled to walk up to a game warden and show his license taig?" The court announced that it is not incumbent u|>oii a game warden to re veal his identity and show his authority before directing a hunter to show his license tag. The District Attorney argued otherwise and added that he didn't think it the duty of auy person to submit to a command "to couie here I want to see that tag." The District Attorney grew sarcas tic iu referring to the methods follow ed in this particular case to carry out the law and expressed his opinion that the Legislature did not intend that such proceedure should be resorted to. Then' it was that the court asked St roup whom he was representing and questioned his right to enter into the case "since the court is the place where justice only is dealt out to persons sus pected of committing crime."

WILL NEED $4,500,000 State Will Fall Short That Amount in Revenue, According to the Esti mates of the Auditor General When the conference between the [ Governor, the State 's financial officers, the presiding officers of both legisla jtne branches and the chairmen of the I Senate anil House Appropriations Com- I mittees is held to take account of stock I in order to ascertain bow to cut the revenue coal in orilcr to make over tlie appropriation mat, which confer ence was to have been held yesterday, but was postjioued because of the ill ness of State Treasurer Voung, it will ■be represented to those present by Au ditor General Powell that the revenues for the fiscal year 1914-15 will not reach the mark of last vear, $33 .04) 0 000, by about $4,500,000. * It is not expected that more than $28,500,000 will be gathered iu for State purposes, and this falling oil' in the revenue is ascribed to the poor busi ness done by corporations with the con sequent falling ofi iu net earnings, on j which the State tax is paid. General Powell, however, believes that business for the fiscal year of 1915-16 will pick up and the revenues, according to his guests will be abcut $3,000,000, allow ing Or the increased corporation busi ness which lie expects. Asked if lie had my suggestions by which more revenue may be raised. General Powell said he had not; that I it is his business to collect the money and not to devise ways and means to rpise it, which will be the work of the 1 Legislature. A tax on real estate would meet with decided opposition fiom both city and country and it will lie the last resort to get revenue. 124 SEEK LIQUOR LICENSES | Only One of the Applications Piled Thus Far Is a New One Of the 124 applications for whole sale and retail liquor and brewers' li censes already file I with Protlvonotary Henry F.

It was more difficult for the si-ribes to translate than "nix kum 'raus,'' of yesterday, but the of ficial interpreter figured it out that it meant that the Governor didn't really know whether he had anything to say. However, repeated questionings brought out the information thai bili» cmbody-iig the legislation advocated by the Governor are iu course of com pletion and that some of them will lie sent to Ihe Legislature next week. Ctm lerning the workmen's compensation act, the Governor said that as yet he is not certain whether the matter of compensation will be submitted to the courts or to a commission. The drift of suggestions received bv him were in favor of a commission, one that would not entail much cost on the Stale. Francis 11. Bohlen, representing the Industrial Accident. Commission, was present and said that a conference was held with the Attorney General this morning on the several acts relating to labor, and it was quite certain that ''legislation satisfactory to all would lie enacted.
