Pittsburg, Oct. S.-Denying that be
was ever married to Mrs. Frank Walk
er of this city, Peter f. McCool, 8
millionaire oil operator, who is being
sued by Mrs. Walker for desertion and
nonsupport, said in his home in Butler
that the woman had no legal claim
against him whatever and that if she
has any marriage certificate purport
ing to show that he was married tc
her the certificate is forgery.
McCeol was bitter in his denuncia-
tlon of the widow who says that she is
his wife. He lives in a magnificent
home with wife he married nine
teen years ago, and he asserted that
when the case against him comes up
for a hearing he will have no difficulty
in showing that the charges against
him are without foundation.
.sThe action begun by Mrs. Walker
for desertion and nonsupport." McCool
said, sis simply an effort to extori

alackmail, and If Mrs. Walker thinks
shatN she has an easy victim in me she
will find herself greatly mistaken. !

JOHN D. ON CHARITY.

bays His Greatest Pleasure Is Giving
Away Part Of His Fortune.
Cleveland, o., Oct. g. While John d.
Rockefeller has given away for char
table uses probably as much money as
any other rich man, there is little
known about it, as he dislikes such
matters to be made public, but in
speaking of his present life the oil
king said
Il am especially thankful that /
learned early to take an interest in
other fields than business, so when /
was able to shift more and more active
business cares from my shoulders to
those of other men / could do SO with
out regret, for / had other fields of
activity awaiting my attention which
Eaye proved of absorbing interest. /
regard it as Of the greatest importance
that the man Of business should guard
against his business monopolizing him
to the exclusion of all other fields of
life.''
Mr.. Rockefeller added that he has
net entered the New York Offices Of the
Standard Oil company, in 26 Broad
way, in eight years He has never set
foot inside the big Office building in
CleveIand that bears his name, al
though 1t felj PRESENTS the investment of
more Than $1,000, 600. Today the man
who is said to have amassed one Of
the greatest private fortunes in the
world says he finds his greatest pleas
ure in giving away part Of it.
While Rockefeller says he strictly
observes the rule of reference to his
charity committee, he has yet managed
to retain the luxury of personal giving
to largo extent. All cases of which
he or Mrs. Rockefeller have personal
knowledge are handled by him. He
takes them from the committees hands
at the outset, and these cases alone
occupy large part of his time.

President For Income Tag?

Washington, Oct. s. Believing that
legacies and incomes should be taxed
and contribute to the national revenue,
President Roosevelt, it is said, will
have introduced in and passed by the
next congress a bill having that end in
view. TO arouse public interest in
the subject of such taxation and to
meet the wave of radicaHsm now
sweeping over the country, the presi-
dent is hopeful, If rumor be true, that
The issue of taxing legacies and in
comes should be argued fully and fear
lessly in this campaign. He always
has believed that the decision of the
supreme court upsetting the income
tax in Cleveland's time was wrong,
and under existing conditions, it is
said, he believes the courts will uphold
such a law.

BRouWER TRIAL OPENS.

of Killing Wife.

Toms River Physician Answers Charge
of Killing Wife.
Toms River, n. j., Oct. 8-Dr. Frank
Brouwer has been placed on trial here,
charged with the murder of his wife
by poisoning.
Public Prosecutor Theodore J. r.
Brown has retained Thomas P. McDer-
mott of Jersey City to assist him. J.
w. Carmichael, assisted by Edmund
Wilson of Red Bank, will defend DIR.
Brouwer. They say they are confident
of demelishing the states case.
It Is now believed that no effort will
be made to dispute the fact that Mrs.
Brouwer was murdered, the defense
relying on its ability to prove that DR..
Bronwer had ne hand in the conspira-
cy to kill his wife. 1t is expected that
the fight will be one of the bitterest in
New Jerseys legal annals.
DR.. Brouwer has been in Jail for
months. He was indicted by the grand
jury on May % OF this year. More
than eight months had elapsed between
Mrs. Brouwer's' death-it was proved
by an analysis of the contents of her
stomach that death was due to poison
and the returning of the indictment
against her husband.
Families are divided, men and wem-
en- have argued the points of the case
in all of the villages and towns adja-
cent to Toms River and Lakewood,
and it is announced that the county
prosecutor and the counsel for the
prisoner will make sensational dis
closures during the progress Of the
trial.
1t is feared it will be difficult to oh.
tain jury, as the guilt or innocence
of DIR. Brouwer has been well dis
cussed throughout the community.
Sympathetic women have raised a
fund for the defense

There are some people who say that

make the prediction that in less than

will be an immense number of race
riots north and south beside which the
Atlanta riot will pale into insignif-

White Supremacy Insisted Upon.
white men of the south are united
and determined as never before to
maintain white supremacy politically
and socially in every part of every
southern state
Negroes were never more intent on
contesting in every way that they dare
this position Of the whites, the Repub.
lican national government aiding and
abetting this idea. Race hatred in every
form is growing Ia intensity with both
races. sAmalgamation is the hope and
ultimate purpose of the negroes.
The burning issue is how to pre-.
vent and not to ayenge crimes, and
lynching has failed. The superior race
should protect many millions of inno-
cent negroes from false teachers and
bad leaders, who are rapidly driving
whites to desperation that means
race war that can only result in the
destruction of the weaker race.'
