many visitors were present and seemed
o enjoy the program.
A lew Of lie boys assisted nine of
thehigh school girls in returning some
lumber, borrowed fer seats last Mon
day evening. Although the girls
would have done much better without
them. their services were appreciated
and al were rewarded by Miss Leah
Cooper, who served lemonade at her
home after the lumber ride
The trees arrived last week from a
Florida nursery and have all been
set out. Each room has purchased a
tree and is expected TO care for it.
The high school room took up an
old fashioned Methodist collection
and after purchasing the tree, had
enough money remaining to buy a
picture for their room. Although the
pupils who planted these trees NAV lie
old and grey and the present citizens
OF Welsh may be gone forever, they
have done a work which will be per-
manent benefit to the city and will
gladden. the hearts of many children.

find it almost city, as he had ex-
pected, from the way it is represented
on the map that he would find only a

maps would visit our town and see
the business done here, the cars of

and the hundred of cars of rice

see their error when lthey put Welsh
on the map as only wide spot in the

LECTURES POLICE
Mrs. Alexander Trautman Mas In
n0cent Her Accuser Arrested.

NEW YORK. Dec. %. Mrs. Alexans
der Trautman, wife of the well known
physician. who has been under arrest
on a charge of larceny. was %honorably
discharged after a hearing in the JEFF.
ferson Market police court. Her ac.
cuser, Peter J.. Hogan, was immediate
ly arrested on a charge of assault pre-.
ferred by Mrs. Trautman.
Hogan alleged that he had been rob
bed by a wOman on Saturday in the
Tenderloin. He saw Mrs. Trautnian
on Monday oil Broadway and grabbed
her, calling a policeman, to whom he
said she was the woman who robbed
him. Mrs. Trautnlnn was locked up in
Il police station with a number of dis.
orderly women.
Magistrate Finn delivered Il singing
rebuke to the police.
Liberty has got to be a very cheap
commodity in this city, said the mag
istrate. You detectives have no right
to run amuck in this city. dragging
people to the station houses on sus-
picion and without any evidence to
support yonr action.
Under the present plan of arrests it
would be possible for the finest people
in the city, against whom not a word
could be said. to be run into a police
station and held for arraignment with
out there being a shadow of evidence
in support of the arrest and imprison-
ment. This thing should be stopped ut
once. The prisoner is discharged"
II forgive this man everything pro-
tested Mrs. Trautman when she real
lied that Hogan was being placed I'M
der arres at the instigation of her hus-
band. II want no more notoriety. l re-
fuse to prosecute him | believe he
was sincere in thinking that l was the
woman who robbed him"
Hogan then refused to leave the
courtroom without police protection,
realizing that i'll treatment awaited
him at the hands of the hundreds of
sympathizers who were angered at the
ignominy he had brought upon Mrs.
Trautman.
A squad of police escorted Hogan to
his home. He was Kissed as he left the
court.

DOES GREAT
DEAL OF GOOD
Scientist Scores ROCkefeIler's
Wealth Getting Railway
Man Defends CrOeSuS.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-Tlat John D..
Rockefeller u~niustly holds his great
wealth, estimated TO be the largest for
tune i'll the world, because it was not
the result of natural causes, but Gre
ated through the activity of corpora
tons, all of which he calls vicious"
was the assertion made by Henry Lau-
rens Call OF Washington, a writer on
economies, at the t~ifty-seventh annual
meeting OF the American Association
For the Advancement of Science. The
economics section is in session at Co.
lumbia university.
"Rockefeller is the leading exponent
of corporation competition as against
Individual competition" said Mr.. Call.
Ellis millions have come to him only
because he controls corporations. The
concentration Of wealth into such for
tunes as his has practically divided IN
dustrial society into two classes-the
enormously rich and the m%iserably
poor.
we are a nation of debtors as a re-
suit of the growth Of the corporation.
The public and private mortgages ag-
gregate $50. O00,0 00, 000, or 1915 per
capita.
'The corporation is a m~onstrosity.
and the wealth Of Rockefeller and 9th
er enormously wealthy men is the prod
uct of this vicious institution. To con
quer the wealth concentrating corpora
ton the public utilities and natural re-
sources must be taken from the hands
Of great corporations. Corporations
must become cooperative to remedy
existing conditions.
To-day u bare / per cen of our pop
ulation owns practically 80 per cent
of the nations wealth. Fifty years
ago there we're not more than fifty mil
lionaires in all the United States, and
their combined fortunes, including tie
half millionaires, did not exceed prob
ably $100,O00,0 900, Or 1 per cent of the
aggregate national wealth."
Logan G. Mcpherson, assistant to the
late Samuel Spencer as president of the
Southern railway, spoke after Mr.. Call.
He gave several anecdotes regarding
Mr.. Rockefeller, saying that, although
he is much criticised, he has really
done great good. Years ago. he said,
a man employed on a cousins farm in
Illinois was approached by a stranger
who wanted aid in raising $4,000 to
construct a pipe line for oil. He got
no help there, but in later years the
two men met again, and the farmer
recognized the ambitious stranger as
Rockefeller.
Mr.. Rockefeller told him." said Mr..
Mcpherson. that on all hands he heard
himself condemned for raising the price
Of oil. Il built that pipe line to make
oil cheaper and i succeeded. | cut the
cost more than half. And yet they
find fault
Seven or eight years ago some
friends of mine We're dining at the
Rockefellers. and Mrs. Rockefeller. IN
explaining the absence Of oysters, said,
we like oysters very much, but we are
too poor to buy Them
Mr.. McPherson's auditors appeared
rather i~ncredulous, but he assured
them that he was telling exactly what
had occurred.
