Congregational Church Objects to
RockerfslIow Money.
MONEY OF DOUBTFUL ORIGIN
Claimed That Rockefeller Obtained
His Money by Injustice and oppres-
sion, and by FOrcibly pespoiling the
Citizens Honest Gains.

Boston, March 2S.--Dr. Washington
GLADDEN., moderator of the Congrega-
tional church. has protested against
the acceptance OF the gift Of 100000
from John D. Rockefeller to the Am
erlcan board Of foreign missions.
The moderator based his objections
upon the grounds that the money do
mated did not belong to the man who
gave It. He remarked that it was oft
en- difficult to ascertain the means BY
which the money donated had been
acquired. but in this case, he states
the facts are well known. In the Bit
terest of terms he arraigned Rocker
Teller and the Standard Oil Company
who he states obtained It's great power
through injustice and oppression and
by forcibly despoiling citizens of their
honest gains. DR.. GLADDEN. enlarged on
the methods Of the Standard OIL Com
pany and concludes, "and this is money
offered the American board. We have
no right to take t. 1t does not be,
long to the man who offers 1t. 1t be-
longs to the people from whom II was
extorted.
Positive action was taken on the
question Of accepting Rockerfeller's
gift Of 100000 to the American board
of foreign missions at meeting this
afternoon of the prudential committee
of that organization. but the nature Of
the action was not disclosed. The
committee announced. however thai
a statement reciting the facts would
eb given out by the committee tomor'

A counterfeiting scheme, gigantic In
its proportions and rich in results,

which are said to have led them to be-

are located in this city.
The operations Of the counterfeiters
are said to extend all the way from
New York to San Francisco and so far
| II is believed that something like $780,
900 has been secured in the larger cit
les Of the country.
The counterfeit is one Of the best
duplicates OF the Buffalo $40 and $50

of the federal authorities. A descrip-

Their work is so smooth that 1t is
almost impossible to detect them az

purchases are made in the towns In
which they are located. Bills for SIC

Last Night.

Woodward's Pavilion. San Francisco,
March 2s.-Marvin Hart was awarded
the decision over Jack Johnson in 90
round contest tonight that went the
limit but he was far from demon
strating that he is qualified to meet
Jim Jeffries. Hart was as badiy
punished man as ever seen in the ring
for long time, but game to the core,
and kept boring into the big colored
man all during the fight Jonnscn's
|mucn vaunted cleverness did not count
for much. While able to hit Hart
frequently the blows did not seem to
damage the white man. The sympa-
|thies Of the large crowd present were
openly with Hart. who was the short
ender In the betting, and every lead he
made at johnson, whether he lander
or not, was greeted with yeils Of JOY.
The general opinion Of those who wit
messed the fight was that neither man
would stand any chance with Jeffries.
The champion would probably beat
them both in the same night.
