DEFENDS ROCKEFELLER.
Dr. Pcarsons of Chtcaro sax. M
 Wealth Is Untainte6

Chicago, Oct. 4-'I would rather be John D. Rockefeller today, diyested of his wealth and with his loyable per- sonality, than any of the crew, saints or sinners, who are attacking him."
 The foregoing is a quotation from an interview published today from pr. D. K. Pearsons, a Chicago million. alre, nationally known as a philan- thropist.
 "As to tainted money" continued Mir. Pearsons, to the popular mind excited just now by socialistic out cries there is no wealth that Is un- tainted. This cry of tainted money IS no jest. It is unfair and not American. It has become the rally ing cry of the socialist. the drone and the discontented memper of society who hates those whose talents or wealth exceed his own"
 MT Pearsons, after talking in this strain with vigor for some time showed recent letter which he had received from MT. Rockefeller. Di- vested or personalism, 1t concluded:
 Thanks for your kinds words. Good friend. I appreciate them. Life Is short and you and I have too much to do In the world to be diverted from our purpose to try and make things better. Let us keep right on and do our best In our day and generation, rejoicing in the beautiful sentiment expressed by our lamented Lincoln. with malice toward none and charity for all
 Sincerely, your friend, --= +-.=~...- John D. Rockefeller"

Due to Commissioners.

''The action of the Senate committee
is due to the efforts of the Commits
sioners, who were diligent in placing
all the facts in the ease before the COM
mittee. It should be explained that the
reason we attempted to have the ad-
ditionaI 100000 placed in the appro-
priation bill. instead of going before
the committee on public buildings. was
that the latter course would have re-
quired much longer time than re
rl9ined at our disposal in the present
session, and the necessity was an i'm
mediate one"
This is not the first year the Dis
trict has requested that the limit Of
ost of the new structure on Pennsyl-
-,ania Avenue be made $500, 600. The
first estimates of the Commissioners
several years ago named this sum as
necessary for the construction of q
suitable building. At first Congress
only authorized 81. 5O0. 900 and afterward
increased this to g. 0O0. 050 which now
stands.

Commissioners Are Elated
Over Work of Committee

There was joy at the District build
ing when the news of the action Of the
Senate committee concerning the new
municipal building arrived.
The District officials, who have been
working energetically for the additional
$4,000 in the authorized cost OF the
new structure, feel. however, that the
battle is only half won, and they took
occasion yesterday TO point out where
the public must direct future effort to-
ward securing a suitable stone struc-
ture for the Districts permanent home
Commissioner Macfarland said to a
Times reporter:
Naturally, we are more than pleased
at our success in convincing the Sen
ate committee Of the necessity Of in
creasing the limit Of cost to s2,500.000,
but we must not forget that there is
still something TO be done before the
matter is actually accomplished. Every
effort must be brought to bear upon re-
tanning the item when the bill is re-
turned to the House and to conference.
I believe the bill as reported by the
committee will be passed by the SEN
ate.
