going to shoot himself. The clerk made
a dash for the young man, who ran to
a corner of the building and pointed
the weapon at his own head. This time
he was grabbed by another clerk and
hustled down the stairs in none too
gentle q manner. The love-smltten

MUZZLED BY ROCKEFELLER
Standard Oil Army Chafes Under New
Lawson Attack.
rk Sun Special. Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Jan. 16.-John D. Rookie
feller's executive order of "silence'
prevails thruout the Standard Oil
army and it's allies. The latest broad
side from Thomas w. Lawson, pub
!ished Yesterday, drew not no "a an answer
This policy Is il31t heeiiTesult Of a series
of conferences or The Standards high
est offcials-the War council, it has
been called. Here are the facts:
When Lawson began recently to pub:
]ish specific charges against Standard
Oil financial operations, H. H. Rogers
became furious and advocated a policy
of swift, vigorous retaliation, in which
criminal prosecution was the first move.
District Attorney Jerome was consult
ed by Standard lawyers, who urged the
Indictment Of Mr.. Lawson on charges
of rigging the stock market and of
criminal libel. :.
The district attorney refused to lay
the case directly before the grand jury,
take cases before the grand jury in
the first instance. Criminal prosecu-
tions, he said, must take the regular
procedure of examination first before
magistrate, and if the magistrate so
decides, the prisoner is held to await
action of the grand jury.
&. What Jerome Offered.
Mr.. Jerome informed the Standard
lawyers that if Mr.. Rockefeller and
Mr.. Rogers desired to criminally prose-
cute Mr.. Lawson and his publisher,
they would have to appear as witnesses
before magistrate just the same as
ordinary compliments.
This procedure would make the Stand
ard Oil appear before the grand jury,
where no troublesome lawyers are adj
mitted and all proceedings are secret,
but they would not appear in public
police courts. Therefore, the plan Of
criminal prosecution was dropped. RI
Mr.. Rockefeller, tho opposed strong
ly by his fighting lieutenants, then as
serted his authority and imposed the
policy of absolute silence and standing
all to abstain from talking for publ
cation, not even to give private infor-
nation that might reach the newspa-
pers and to take no open action.
'tGive Lawson Rein.'
Lawson will overreach himself, -
was Mr.. Rockefeller's declaration. elf
we let him have free rein he will 90 to
greater extremes and bring about re-
action against himself all the sooner. !"
This same policy is approved by Pres
ident Stillman Of the National City
bank, in its connection with the Mum
roe & Munroe stock jobbing scandal.
Lawson s attack on the bank is not to
draw their fire, even if they are com
PEELED to pay over to the Munroe cred
itors the last day draft of 100000,
which was collected just before the
failure.
The unnamed New York publisher,
whose identity Mr.. Lawson thinly con.
cealed in an account of how he was
plucked by syndicate in the steel trust
shares and was placated by George W.
Perkins, says that the story was lie,
but as his name was not mentioned, he
would not give Lawson the satisfac-
ton Of entering into any controversy.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT
WILL Be DISSOLVED
New York Sun Special Service.

London, Jan. l6..-The early disso-
luton Of parliament is definitely an
nounced by the Daily Express. It is
understood in political circles that this
action is Chamberlain ultimatum to
Premier Balfour. The premier has said
nothing on the fiscal question for
me- months ts and n? speaking at Glasgow on
that his audience doubtless considered
it a bore. This was. on the day after
Chamberlain had givenr"a 105-minute
speech upon the subject at Preston.
The Balfour government cannot ex-
ist when parliament meets without
Chamberlain support. The present
appearances point to liberal majority
Of more than one hundred in the new
parliament.

TO BEAT THE FIREBUGS
WHO BURN PAYILIONS

Firebugs may find It hard to reduce the
next Minnehaha pavilion to ashes. It is
probable that the building to be con-
structed over the ashes of the old one
will be entirely of adamant or other ma
terial equally freproof.
Some time ago the park board adver-
tised for plans for a new pavilion to cost
not more than $4,000. These plans were
all handed to the park board today, and
will be opened some time later at a
special meeting.
Some Of the competing architects adj
NIT that they submitted plans for an abb
solutely fireproof building.
