YOUNG ROCKEFELLER CRITICIZED
His Attack on Catholic Worship Brings
Caustic Reply.

New York, May 1.-Caustic criticism Of
the remarks which John d. Rockefeller,
Jr., Is credited with making concerning
the Roman Catholic church in Mexico APP
pears in the current number of the Sun
day Union and in the Catholic Times, of
which James w. O'Brien is editor. The
statements, which are denounced as un-
truthful were uttered, O. Bren says, be.

young Rockefeller is the head The &C.
casion was speech the young leader
made upon his return from Mexico, where
he had made a study of conditions re-
ligious and social.
Rockefeller first denied the story that
he had recklessly cast away money to
Mexican beggars, and then spoke of the
worship of the churches of the capital
City Of Mexico as he had seen It,
II was sick of heart" Mr.. Rockefeller
is credited with saying. when In the city

THE man says" writes the editor. that
he loves God. If so, why does he bear
false witness against his neighbor? His
heart was made sick by the sight Of null
titudes of people thronging the Catholic
churches of Mexico. why? Was it green
eyed envy-the devil vice of eTudging to
others what is denied him? His own
gilded church In Fifth avenue Is being
neglected, leaving but a beggarly array
or empty benches and these humble
Roman Catholic churches In Mexico CITY
are crowded to the doors What a wretch

man must have. He alleges that they
We're not worshiping God, but the inven-
mons OF man. He knew they were Roman

A Mistake.

The paragraph which appeared in this
mornings Age-Herald containing the an
nouncement of the marriage of I. o. Jones
and Miss Bertha Adams was incorrect
AS far as known there is no such person
as I. Q. Jones, but the public generally
understood the reference to 1. G. Davis,
as 1t was mentioned that the groom was
with S. e. Jones. as Is the case with
Mr.. Davis. There seems to have been no
ground whatever for the report which
was telegraphed to The Age-Herald by a
person giving his name as Kelley. Miss
Adams is but fifteen years of age and
her acquaintance with Mr. Davis has been
OF but brief duration. Both emphatically
deny the report of their marriage.
