GIBBONS IS DIPLOMATIC
What to Do with John D. Rookie
feller's Money!

Baltimore, Md. April 7.-Cardinal
Gibbons would be puzzled as to what
course to take if John d. Rockefeller
should offer the Roman Catholic church
100000 for missionary work. He de
c!ared this today: ..
Il have read 4 great deal about Mr..
Rockefelers offer and the objections
made to its acceptance by the Congre
gationalistS,' said the cardinal, but
must confess that thus far have been
unable to reach Il positive conclusion.
| therefore hesitate about discussing
the matter further than to say there is
much To be said on both sides of the
question.
Knows No Proof of Dishonesty.
In my opinion no testimony has
been produced showing that Rookie
Teller acquired his fortune in any other
than legitimate manner.
Numerous assertions have been
made. but | repeat. no proof has been
forthcoming. and in the absence of
positive proof it nanifestly would be
unfair for me or anyone else to pro-
nounce judgment either one way or the
other. Neither have | any personal
knowledge of the man himself, which
fact forms another objection to my en-
tering a discussion on the subject.
Il might say, however, that if the
offer had been made TO me. or 10 any
institution under my control. | would
be in some doubt as to how to act in
the premises"
Chicago Man Defends Acceptance
Boston, Mass, April THE action
of the American missions board in ac-
ceptinG a gift of 100000 from John y.
Rockefeller was condemned and defend
ed today at a meeting of Congregations
al ministers of Boston and vicinity
The Rev. f.. \. Noble of Chicago was
the spokesman of the board.
The American board" he said. lis
not an inquisitorial body. It was not
organized to look into the morality of
tho man who makes a gift The board
WAS organized TO spread the gospel in
heather lands, and the charter pro-
VideS that any man who makes a be-
quest shall have it carried out.
NO man has Il right to hinder any
other man who wants to do good
Another Attacks the Board
The opposition was representa- by the
Rev. Daniel Evans of Cambridge
1t cannot be overlooked" said Mr.
Evans, that the board is the organ
of the church in its missionary opera
tons. We ask the prudential commit
tee of the board not to involve the
church in cntangiing alliances with OPP
posing interests and anlagonstic
forces. The church must be kept free
to strike her blow and speak her re-
buke against corporate evil. and free
to be the leader and inspirer of those
who in many organized ways are fight
ing the battle of social right pOuSnpSS "

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Package Containing Headless and Leg
less Body of Man Tossed Into
San Francisco Street.

San Francisco, April Ste headless
and legless trunk of a young man was
found late last night on Vallejo street.
The body was wrapped in an old blank
ct, tied up with fisherman's Irvine. A
man was seen to throw the bundle
away by Il passer by. No clew to the
murdered man or the murderer.
The mystery of the murder of the
young man whose dismembered trunk
was found in a Vallejo street last night
has not yet been solved, notwithstand-
ing the best detectives in the city are
working on the case and blOodhoundS
have been used. A wound in the por-
ton of the neck attached to the body
indicates that the young man was
stabbed to death before being hacked
to pieces. From the color of his skin
he is supposed to have been an Italian.
The fact that the head, arms and legs
are missing makes identification diff
cult
The officers placed bloodhounds on
the trail of blood leading from the
place where the remains were deposited

who is believed to have committed the
crime. In Il vacant house nearby 1t
was found that the water in the kitch-
en- sink had recently been running. but
no other signs Of occupancy were Wis
ible
The bloodhounds ended their run at
Il house on Mason street on the steps of
which were several drops of blood III
the place, however, nothing ncrimi-
mating was found.
The police have a theory that the
murdered man was one of the witnesses
in the Giuseppe Brogardo murder case,
AL of whom received warnings of
death, as also did Detective Gibson,
who gathered evidence connected with
the crime, which occurred on the 21st
of last January Two of these wit
nesses, Rosoradino Domnia and j. Cor

revenge have been advanced, but en-
tirely lack confirmation.
