 Magistrate Finn delivered stinging rebuke to the police.
 Liberty has got to be 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 your action.
 Under the present plan of arrests 1t would be possible for the finest people in the city, against whom not word could be said, to be run into police station and held for arraignment with out there being shadow of evidence in support of the arrest and imprison- ment. This thing should be stopped at once. The prisoner is discharged"
 T forgive this man everything" pro tested Mrs. Trautman when she real- ized that Hogan was being placed un- der arrest at the instigation of her hus- band. T want no more notoriety. re- fuse to prosecute him. I believe he was sincere in thinking that 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 tho ignominy he had brought upon Mrs. Trautman.
 A squad of police escorted Hogan to his home. He was hissed as he left the court.

HenPy L. Call Says Richest American Holds Fortune Unjustly Because 1t h Earned by Corporation
 MonstrOsity.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-That John D. Rockefeller unjustly holds his great wealth, estimated to be the largest for tune in the world, because it was not the result of natural causes, but ere ated through the activity of corpora tons, all of which he calls vicious" was the assertion made by Henry Lau- rens Call of Washington, writer on economics, at the fifty-seyenth 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. "His 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 miserably poor.
 We are nation of debtors as re- suit of the growth of the corporation. The public and private mortgages az gregate $3O,OOO, 100000, or $375 per capita.
 ''The corporation is monstrosity, and the wealth of Rockefeller and oth- CT enormously wealthy men is the prod uct of this vicious institution. To con- quer tho 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 bare per cent of our pop ulation owns practically go per cent of the nations wealth. Fifty years ago there were not more than fifty mil lionaires in all the United States, and their combined fortunes, including the half millionaires, did not exceed prob ably $1O0, 100000, or per cent of the aggregate national wealth."
 Logan G. McPherson, assistant to the late Samuel Spencer as president of the Southern railway, spoke after Mir. Call. He gave several anecdotes regarding MT. Rockefeller. saying that. although he is much criticised, he has really done great good Years ago. he said, man employed on cousins farm in Illinois was approached by stranger who wanted aid in raising $25,000 to construct 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 Mir. NcPherson, "that on all hands he heard himself condemned for raising the price of oil. I built that pipe line to make oil cheaper and I succeeded. cut the cost more than half. And yet they nnd fault
 Seven or eight years ago some friends of mine were 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'"
 Mir. McPherson's auditors appeared rather incredulous, but he assured them that he was telling exactly what had occurred.
