SAD WORDS BY ROCKEFELLER
DR.. Hills Scores Young Mans Defense
of Trusts.

New York, April 10.-In the course
of his sermon in Plymouth church,
Brooklyn, yesterday, Rev. DR.. Newell
100000 made by John D: Rockefeller
to the American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions and TO Mr.. Rockefeller's son. He
said:
The saddest words that have been writ
ten in this generation were spoken before
Brown university by young man who is
to inherit one Of the greatest fortunes In
this country. -. =
They We're spoken In defense Of the
trusts. Listen to them: "
[ 1.-The American beauty rose can be pro-
duced in all it's splendor only by sacrific-
ing the early buds that grow up around
it. The rose has one thousand buds and
in order to produce the American beauty,
the gardner goes round it with a knife
and ships 500, in order that all the
strength and beauty may be forced into
one bloom" .''. .
In his economic argument, this young
man tells the working class brutality that
500 small business men must be snuffed
out of existence in order that his Ameri-
can beauty, the trust, may be produced.
| Listen to Christ: Let the strong bear
the burdens Of the weak" and again,
| "Give and it shall be given unto YOU"
| These words in defense of the trusts
are the most heart breaking things in lit
erature to those who know what is going
to come in the future. Can you. wonder
that after that, when a man gives gifts
we have no gratitude to return? $780,.

declined, and even after his declination
he was urged to take the place, but the

probably play a larger part in the af.

JAPS EAGER FOR FIGHT
Toxic Confident that Admiral Togo
Will Win Victory.

Toxic, April 10.-The plans of Vice
Admiral 'Rojestvensky cause the keen
est speculation here.
The Japanese newspapers and public
express relief and pleasure over the APP
proach of the Russian second Pacific
squadron, as well as confidence in the
ability Of Admiral Togo's feet to van
quish it. -
1t is quite generally assume dthat he
does not desire an immediate battle, and
that he will attempt to reach Vladivo-
stok, where there are docks and shops,
or seize a base.
The latter course is deemed unsatis-
factory on account of poor facilities
and the danger Of political complica-
tions.
Many believe that the Russian naval
commander has a second rendezvous in
the Pacific ocean and that he will
speedily quit the China sea and 20 east
ward Of the Philippines. If Vladivo-
stok is his objective the Pacific is con-
sidered to be more favorable for the ac-
|complishment Of his purpose, altho it
largely depends on Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky himself. s

Boston, April S.@ohn D. Rockefel-

tribution Of another 100000 for mis-.

There is nothing unusual about the
gift to the Missionary union, for Mr..
Rockefeller has been an annual con-
tributor to it for many years. Last
year he gave the same amount, $780,
900. But judging from interviews
with leading Baptist clergymen of this
city, it is likely to give rise to an ex-
tended controversy among the members
Of that denomination.
Only as Conscience Money.
Rev: Herbert s. johnson, pastor of
the Warren Avenue Baptist church,
declared that he would not take a dol
lar Of Mr.. Rockefeller's money unless
he offered it as conscience money.
He characterized the possession of
such great wealth as that of Rockefel-
Ter as a menace to the community, and
asserted his belief that the Baptist de-
and in accepting Mr.. Rockefeller do
nations is doing itself great injury.
On the other hand, Rev. P. S. Hen

| Little else than the Forthcoming bat
tie between the Russian and Japanese
meets IN the China sea is now talked
about In Washington.
| Interest among diplomats and naval
officers is at white heat. Every one
recognizes that perhaps the most i'm
portant naval engagement since Trafal-
gar is now near at hand; and unless
expectations are disappointing, it will
be- the first really great conflict on the
sea since, the birth of modern steel

There have been engagements be-
tween few ships, as in the present
war, and the war between Japan and
China. There have been one-sided
running fights amounting almost to
slaughter, as when Sampson IS squadron
destroyed Cervera's fleet. But there
never has been such conflict as the
whole world is now to tiptoe over.
I Series of Battles Probable.
Naval officers who have given close
study to the, conditions surrounding
the hostile fleets express the opinion
that instead Of one great pitched bat
tie there will be a long series of en-
Engagements, with gun action at long
range on the part of the Japanese bat
tleshlps. Frequent efforts to "cut out -

Togo undoubtedly could have made his
attack in the Malacca straits if he had

there is plenty Of room for maneuver-

Evidence Piles Up Against Craw.

Special to The Journal.
Elk River, Mimi, April 10.-The
state will rest it's case against Craw
this this af f and the defense viii put
on Arthur Losee, alias George Palmer,
tomorrow morning. Palmer was
brought up in chains from Minneapolis
this morning and will be kept here un-
til after his trial.
Crawford will take the stand on his
own defense, but it is expected his at
torneys can submit all their evidence
ments and the charge of the judge. The
trial Of Palmer should be started We'd
nesday forenoon. 1t will be difficult
matter to get a jury, as the county has
already been searched for jurors for the
Crawford case.
IT.. A. Larson, a telegraph operator,
testified today as to the arrival of the
panions of Lundeen at the station.
Upon being told that a murder had been
committed the witness notified the train
dispatcher and sheriff and had the car
set out at Anoka. - -:
L. G. Davis, a carpenter, testified that
he saw two men, one tall and one short,
jump from the train and walk hurriedly
down the track. 1t was toe, dark, for
him to see their faces plainly and he
could not identify them positively as
Crawford and Palmer.
w. Martin is the ferryman at Dayton
and he swore that Crawford was one Of
two men who crossed the river in his
ferry the day of the murder. Joseph
Talbot, clerk in a store at Dayton,
also identified Crawford as the stranger
to whof he sold some cigars.
Several other witnesses were exam
ined by the state but their evidence
WAS NOT Of imDOrtancp
Nels Clausen, jailor Of, Hennepin
county, is in Elk River today to attend
the trial. He has been instrumental in
gaining some admissions from the pris-
oner and will probably be called as a
witness for the state.
More Eye Witnesses.
Charles Conradson of Faribault and
H. H. Kinner of Elberton, Iowa, were
star witnesses for the state. Both did
not sleep at all the night Of the murder
and knew moro of the movements of
Crawford and Palmer than did the
other witnesses.
manded to throw up their hands, and
swore positively that Crawford took
careful aim before firing the fatal shot
which does away with the theory that
the killing was not Intentional, the shot
being fred simply to brighten the boys
and the motion of the train causing the
bullet to defect. -,
Kinner was suspicious Of the two
men early in the night and cautiously
slipped his money into his shoe except
IS cents, which, with a gold watch, was
taken from him by Palmer.
1t is rumored that Crawford
