Mr.. ROCKEFELLER
CHIEF SOLICITOR DoDD SPEAKS
FOR HIM.
WASHINGTON GLADDEN. CHARGES
Denial that the Rich Man owns or
Controls RaiIways-Avowal that
Standard Pays Same Rates as
other Shippers.

NEW YORK--S. c. T. Dodd. chief
solicitor of the Standard Oil com
pany, gave out a statement with ref
erence to the recent discussion as to
the acceptance of the gift of 100000
offered by John d. Rockefeller for
missionary work.
Mr. Dodd declares that the state
ment that Mr.. Rockefeller made his
money dishonesty. lis false. is vile
and being made by ministers in the
pretended interests of morality is
doubly vile"
Mr. Dodd then says that the Stand
ard Oil company does not own a
share of stock of any railroad com
pany, does not control any railroad
company, and that since the enact
ment of the interstate commerce law
has not received lower rates than
other shippers by rebates, arrange
ments, devices or plans of any char
acter The testimony OF Howard
Page, freight agent of the Standard
Oil company, before the commission
is quoted in this connection. With
reference TO gas and copper COM
panies. Mr.. Dodd says: mo doubt
many have been rreiudiced against
Mr.. Rockefeller by sensational writ
ers, whose articles accompanied by
portraits and caricatures, are intend
ed to create the impression that Mr..
Rockefeller was the principal in the
affairs relating the organization of
the gas and copper companies, al
though no fact showing such connec-
ton "a stated. The Standard Oil COM
pany has already denied that it had
any connection or interest directly or
Indirectly in the organization of these
corporations, and on the best author
ity the same denial is now made for
John d. Rockefeller. He had no con-
nection with nor interest, directly or
indirectly, in the organization OF
these corporations"

LUMBER KINGS UNDER FIRE
Federal Grand Jury orders Secretary
to Produce Books,

PORTLAND, Ore.--Charles w.
Eberlin, land agent of the Southern
Pacific company, was the principal
witness Thursday before the federal
grand jury which is investigating
land frauds in this state. 1t is report
ed that Eberlin's testimony may
prove an important factor in estab-
fishing a conspiracy to secure large
areas of timber lands in the south
ern part OF Oregon. This testimony,
it is learned on good authority, cor
roborated by the records of the
Southern Pacific company, estab-
fishes the fact that simultaneously
with the securing of a large amount
of railroad land which comprised the
odd numbered sections, large tracts
of government land, which comprised
the even numbered sections of the
same district, We're located upon.
The government. it is learned, will
attempt to prove that this simultan-
eous acquiring of the even and odd
sections was more than a coincidence,

Explosion in Coal Mines at ZeigIer
IT,, Causes Thirty-Four Deaths.

BENTON, Ill.-Some fifty miners
were entombed Monday in Joseph Lei
ter's mine at Zeigler by a terrific eX-
plosion of gas and it is probable that
thirty or more of the buried men are
dead Thus far three bodies have
been found. The explosion was due
to the fact that the Letter mines are
not worked on Sunday, thus allow.
ing gas to accumulate in the lower
workings.
When between thirty-five and forty.
five miners had descended into the
mine to resume work a terrific eXplo-
sion blew the timbers about the
mouth of the mine high into the air,
One of the steel cages was blown to
the surface from the bottom of 500
foot shaft. The shock of the eXplo-
SION was felt at Benton, twelve miles

WASHINGTON-Tho president has
carried out his plans for the rcorganiza.
ton Of the isthmian canal commission
as TO the personnel and business
methods, generally on the lines Of
the legislation he suggested TO con-
gross az the last session. which failed
in the crush Of business in the closing
hours. On Monday, within half an
hour after The presidents departure
from Washington, Secretary Taft, di-
rectly in charge OF canal matters,
made public the personnel of the new
commission and the division of duties
among them. Only one member OF
the old commission was reappointed,
Mr.. Benjamin NJ Harrod. Otherwise
the commission is new from top to
bottom, for there Ii top and bottom

the functions and pay Of the commits

gally to appoint seven commissioners,
the president did 50 but he carried
ont his own Plan by making three of
them practically the commission. The
other four, though bearing the title of
commissioners, not only receive a
much lower compensation, but are as
signed much smaller fields of activity.
The president also has carried out his
scheme of dividing up the work of
canal building among the commits
sioners. so that nominally acting as
a body on stated occasions, each indi.
vidual member would operate in a
special field. The head of the com.
mission is trained railway man,
chosen for his administrative abilities
in the financial and purchasing field;
the new governor Of the zone is a

ties in the execution of the practical
work Of canal cutting. The other
members Of the commission are plac-
ed TO comply with the law as to the
number of the commission, but are
men Of high ability as hydraulic engi-
neers. Secretary Taft told them that
they were expected to show results
and that is said to be the keynote for
the presidents action.
The personnel of the new commits
sion is as follows: Theodore p.

Maybrick, accompanied by her coun-

ing Secretary of State Adee. In the
legal proceedings now in progress, to
which Mrs Maybrck is a party in
volving considerable property inter
ests. some obstacle has been encoun-
tered in availing of Mrs, Maybrick's
testimony because of her peculiar
legal status, and she is seeking the
good offices of the state department
to procure from the British govern
ment the papers necessary to rehabili-
tate her in the eye of the law. The
state department will probably take
up the matter with the American en-
bassy in London.

January 20 to date it was found that
a death rate of the same percentage
prevailed as last year, when the anti.
toxin was not used.

RUMORS OF PEACE.
Car Said to Be the Only One Favor

ing Continuation OF the War.
BERLiN--Peace at an early date is
regarded as probable by the German
embassy at st. Petersburg, the .Asso-
ciated Press is informed, and in conse-
luencc of dispatches received from
there by the government during the
last three days this opinion circulates
n official circles for the first time
since the war began. The Russian en-
percr, it is true, has not yet decided
tor peace, but the grand dukes and
all other members of the court who
have access to the emperor are for
peace. His majesty is described in the
gossip that goes about here as stand
ing alone. The considerations that still
delay his decision are personal ones,
he feeling that his reign is a failure
If Russia does not win the war and
that his prestige as a sovereign will
be lost at home and in foreign cOun-
tries, but he cannot yet bring himself
to speak the word that will set the
peace negotiations il motion.
Much good will and sympathy are
felt for the Russian emperor in higher
official life here, but II is regarded as
certainty that no must yield to his
family and ministers and that the
month Will not end without peace.
