nearly a year. Burial will take place
at Wichita. The Masonic order will
have charge of the funeral.
Washington, Oct. 25.-The Sage of
Medicine Lodge" as Jerry Simpson
was called, was in many respects one
OF the most unique characters which
ladorns the history of congress. He
was swept into the Fifty-second on
gress by the wave of Kansas populism
land charged with the task of reforming
the whole government and living down
the only advance information his coll
leagues had of his personality-that
he wore no socks.
The latter task he succeeded in ac-
comprising in fact, although he never
quite lost the title "Sockless Jerry"
His legislative accomplishment con-
sisted in turning popular eastern senti-
Iment regarding populism from scorn-
ing ridicule to respectful consideration
during his service of six years in the
,Fifty-second, Fifty-third and Fifty
fifth congresses, when he was swept
out by another Kansas wav
There was not a question of con-
tgressional action during that time on
(which Simpson did not think and on
(which his conclusions were not strik-
lingly and entirely different from those
of any one else. His language and
manner of speech We're quaint to the
highest degree. Simpson always tried
to make his adversary look ridiculous
and always threw new light on every
subject. He made a personal friend OF
every member of the house, and his
political opponents declared he never
changed his vote on any question of
Legislation.
AS an entertainer and as a person
iality, the house came to have the
IWarmeSt regard for him.
MI. Simpson was born in Now Scotia
March 81, 1872. When 6 years of age
This parents moved to Oneida county,
New York. At the age of IA he became

Rogers Says He and William Rookie
Teller Shared in Boston Merger
Secret Testimony Is Out.

Boston, Mass. Oct. 24.-William
Rockefeller, brother Of the Standard
Oil king, n H. H. Rogers each cleaned
up S 3,656. 500 in the Boston gas cosolida-,
ton, according to the testimony Of Mr..
Rogers before Master in ChanceryI
Causten Brown, which was made pub,
lie today. This is the first time that
William Rockefeller's part In the fa-l
nous deal has been revealed. The tes-.
timony, which was taken secretly, re-
suited from the suit of George w. Pep,
per, receiver for the Bay State Gas,
company, of Delaware, the holding
company in the gas deal.
Receiver Pepper alleges that Rogers
received from the New England Gas
and Coke company $780, 900 in addition
to the stipulated by him for,
the sale Of his interests in other gas
5000, 900 belongs to the Bay State Gas
company Of Delaware under a trust
agreement. $n
Mr.. Rogers gave a statement of his
holdings of gas securities in Novem-
Der, 1897, and said he gave an option
on these stocks and bonds to the Cen
trail Trust of New York, re-

pany to the face value of 81, 900, 900 and
1000 shares Of stock Of the same com
pany IN payment. 81
AT the same time a check for Sc, 000,-
900 was drawn to the Central Trust
company and a check Of 2,O63, 1924
drawn to William Rockefeller. These
entries are in Mr.. Rogers check book
and not in the cash book, he said.
"Were these transactions carried on
with funds furnished by William Rock
efeller?' was Sked.
Mr.. Rockefeller financed the trans.
actions with others responded Mr..
Rogers.
In answer to another question as to
where the money used in these deals
came from, Mr.. Rogers said tina he
remembered indistinctly that William
Rockefeller n Moore and Schley may
have furnished the money to purchase
the Delaware company securities in
May, 1896. He thought that General
Jourdan Of Brooklyn, r. A. C. Smith
and Mr.. Weidenfeld may also nave been
interested and A. c. Burrage indirectly.
Haven't you any idea how the profits
were made up?" :.
well" said Mr. Rogers, they were
made up Of the difference between what
the goods cost and what we sold them
att He further said that he and Mr..
Rockefeller received just the same
share of the profits, 1865, 500, as he re-
membered 1t. He admitted that his
books were kept SO that they would
not show what happened at any time.
To many questions Mr.. Rogers an
swered: II don't remember"
