A RoCKEFELLER
OYSTER STORY

There will be thoughtless persons who
will be inclined to jeer the report that
Mrs. John d. Rockefeller recently said
to some guests that she and Mr.. Rookie
fcllerwere very fond OF oysters, but that
they could not afford TO buy them. Buy
why should anyone laugh at story
which shows so much verisimilitude as
that?
You have all heard again and again.
OF persons being land poor. And you
have all seen and known such persons
too. You have been an witness TO
how these unfortunate victims OF prop
erty have been compelled to skimp and
save TO do without new clothes and TO
worry along ON tho bare necessities OF
life. so that taxes may be paid and re-
pairs kept up, etc.
Well ~ land poor, why not corpora
tion poor? Mrs. Rockefeller is quoted a
saying that a man may be worth $780,
600. 600 or $1,000, 100000 but being un-
der the necessity Of keeping factories
and pipe lines and refinerles going, he
may have no ready cash.
Nothing. certainly, could be more
plausible than this explanation. We
all know how close the farmer has to
live who buys a new quarter section
every year: how shabbily his women
have TO dress, what mean coffee the
family uses. and how tho table Is sup
piled with what tho ff u er cannot sell.
Now, II YOU will pause TO multiply the
prvations practiced In the family Of the
farmer who Is land mad, by those which
may prevail i'm the household whose lord
and head desires TO acquire the whole
earth. YOU can easily see that the story
about oysters being too dear for the
Rockefellers may be as true as gospel.
Nevertheless. this Incident does not
shed the lustro upon Mrs. Rockefeller AS
thrifty and resourceful housewife

BATEMAN TRIAL AT BELAIR.
Defendant Declared He Never Embez.
zled Any County Money.

BELAIR, Md, March 9.-Hudson Bate
man, who is charged with embezzling
| money from the county commissioners, while
acting as their clerk, and whose trial is in
progress in court here, took the stand yes
terday in his own defense After the state
had placed several witnesses on the stand
to prove certain facts, the states attorney
announced his intention of resting his case
John s. Young, in his opening statement
to the jury for the defense, stated in part
that his side expected to show that Bate
man was clerk to the county commissioners
from 1902 to 1906; that all money that came
into his hands as clerk was properly APP
piled by the order of the commissioners and
therefore he cannot be charged with en-
beZZlement; that the defendant never ap-
propriated one cent of the county's funds to
his own use; that on account Of his mental
and physical condition during his term of
Office he was incapacitated from properly
performing his duties, and at times was
found to be inaccurate in his accounts and
failed to make memorandum of money re-
ceived and dsbursed. The defense has
thirty-five witnesses summoned and the
case, it is thought, will last until the mid
die of next week. 1t began on last Mon
day.
Mr.. Bateman was on the stand for quite
a while. He stated that he had resided at
wilma Hartford county, for about twenty-five
or thirty years; that he came here from
Baltimore, and was fifty-seven years old.
he 1urtner SAID ne was appohteu cier
to the county commissioners December i,
1902, and continued in office until Novem-
her, 1906; that he attended to the duties of
the Office and did all the bookkeeping; that
the commissioners would receive money and
pass it to him with instructions as to the
bank in which he should deposit it; that he
frequently checked money out of bank, but
always at the direction of the board; that
it was applied for purposes of Hartford
county, and that he never appropriated one
cent to his own use. If any money is
shown to have been deposited in bank and
does not appear on the cash book. or II
any money is shown on the cash book and
does not show to been deposited, he said,
such errors are due to the fact that he was
at times hurried in his work and are also
due to oversight.
He said that when he went In ONCE ne
was not in good physical condition, which
| was due to some stomach trouble, and used
paregoric to ease the pain, which made him
| drowsy.
