FAILS TO DEFEND
J. D. ROCKEFELLER
Illinois chautauqua Turns Down Res
olutions Disappearing La Fol-
lette's Attack.

Springfield. H.. Aug. 2.-SOme ex.
citement was caused at the Illinois
chautauqua yesterday afternoon when
resolutions were introduced disapprov-
ing the attack made by Senator La
Toilette upon John d. Rockefeller last
Sunday. The resolutions were laid on
the table by an almost unanimous vote
on the grounds the subject was deli
cate matter and the assembly should
keep its hands off.
The incident, coupled with the depar-
ture of the Rev r. S. Macarthur. the
New York divine. without defending
the character of the oil king as he pub
licly annOuced he would do, caused a
sensation. The chautauqua managers
declare that the action on the resolu-
tiOn does not mean the assembly be-
lieves Rockefeller is the greatest GRIM
inal of the age, but that the introduc-
ton of the resolutions was a grave
mistake.
The Rev. John Roach of ROOdhouse,
who presented them, says he did so at
the suggestion of DR.. Macarthur.

ternoon returned a verdict of not
guilty.
The case has been a sensational one.
and has held the close attention of the
people of the northwest. Gebhardt was
found lying in a pool of blood on the
floor of his Office at night, his head
crushed by blows of a hammer. The
most important witness in the trial
was Asa P. Brooks, editor of the New

DR.. Gebhardts office, and ran up the
side stairs 10 ascertain the cause.

he peered through the transom and
saw the murderer standing over Geb-
hardt's body. Brooks testified that. al
though the murderer turned and looked
at him. he could not recognize the
man, but swore it was not Koch. The
rest of the evidence was circumstan-
tial Koch did not seem to be unusual
ly perturbed on account of the murder.
He continued his practice at New Ulm,
was present at the inquest and sang at
the funeral The circumstantial evi-
dence, however, strengthened by the
knowledge of jealousy alleged to have
resulted from business rivalry and love
affairs, caused suspicion to be directed
toward him and he was finally indict-
ed. The first two trials resulted in dis

AIM AT ROCKEFELLER, HIT HIS wife
KEENLY FROM EXPOSURES OF sUs-
NESS METHODS OF sTANDARD-HEALTH is SHAT


Cleveland. Ohio. Aug. 2.-The health
of Mrs. John ID. Rockefeller is rapidly
failing. Constant criticism of her hus-
band has in a measure escaped him
only to reach her, upon whom it has
had a most deleterious effect. II has
saddened her life.
The gloom which has settled about
the last few years of their married life,
the exposing of derogatory facts which
for years were locked tightly in the
breast of Rockefeller and. by fear. in
the breasts of his enemies, has brought
such a feeling of sadness and oppres-
sion upon Mrs. Rockefeller as TO slow
" but steadily undermine her health.
Circle Narrowed.
Close friends of Mrs. Rockefeller say
that since the publication OF the many
critical articles on her husbands bus
mess affairs they have noticed great
difference in her spirits. She has drawn
more closely the circle of friendship
about her. until there are now but a
comparatvely small number of persons
with whom she exchanges visits.
Many of these are the families of the
men whose business lives her husband
blasted. With these she exchanges calls
and frequently receives them at the
Rockefeller home. Forest Hill, but
never does her husband accompany
her nor receive with her.
No Part In Church Work
She is seldom seen with her hus
band at church OF driving about the
city. She does not take part in the
prayer meetings. at which the oil king
advises the young men Of the day TO
save. TO give to charity. TO believe ia
God and to live temperate life
