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.

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

By Associated Press,
New Brunswick, N. J., Jan. 27.
The grand jury continued to-day its in
vestigation into the shooting of nine
teen strikers, two of whom dtied of their
wounds inflicted at Roosevelt, N. J.,
January 19 by armed guards, sworn in
as deputy sheriffs and stationed at the
Liebig fertilizer plant of the American
Agricultural Chemical Company.
Eighteen witnesses had already been
examined when the investigation was
resumed to-day. More than eighty more
were still to testify. Among the num
ber were Mayor Hermann, of Roose
velt, and Sheriff Houghton, of Middle
sex county, concerning whom Supreme
Court Justice Bergen charged the grand
jury yesterday to indict for miscon
duct in office if it were found that they
had failed to do their duty.

an auto some nine or ten feet away
from Fleck. 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."
Lawyers to Submit Briefs
i But Mr. St roup thought Fleck de
served his services and added that if
| not, the Attorney General of the State,

with misdemeanors.

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.

BRUMBAUCH SHIFTS TO USE
OF A SPANISH DIALECT
Shows His Versatility as a Linguist by
Departing His "Pennsylvania
Dutch'' of Yesterday—Getting the
Compensation Bill Into Shape
Drooping for the nonce the "Penn
sylvania Dutch '' expression he used
yesterday, Governor Brumbaugh to-day
remarked in the mellifluous ('astiliim
language "No savey, si nor," when ask
ed by a group of reporters if he had
anything of importance to communicate
to the public. 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.
The State Hoard of Agriculture, in a
body, called 011 the Governor this morn
ing to pay its respects, and was re
ceived by him in the Executive recep
tion room.
Among the callers on Governor
Brumbaugh this morning was B. F.
Meyers, the veteran retired editor. The
two gentlemen are old friends, having
known each other in Huntingdon county.
PRESIDENT WILSON'S TRIP
While Absent He Will Keep in Touch
With Washington
Washington, .lan. 27.—While plans
for President Wilson's trip to San
Francisco in March still include passage
through the Panama Canal and attend
ance at the formal opening ceremonies,
provision is being made so Mr. Wilson
could at the last moment change his
itinerary and go to the Pacific coast
by rail.
It is the President's desire lo keep
in close touch with the Capitol and to
be able to return on short notice. It
was said to-day that nothing in pros
pect now forecast such a change but
that preparations were being made to
take into account any developments iu
Mexico or Europe. The legislative sit
uation and the succor o. failure of the
administration ship bill with the pos
sibilities of an extra session of Con
gress also are elements in the situa
tion.
