MINISTER SAYS OIL KING IS ONLY STEWARD.
Rockefeller is Characterised As the Trustee for Widows and Orphans Who Own Stock i'm Standard
 OH Company.

New York, oct. 7--John D. Rockefel- ler's private conception of himself, that he is only the steward of the Standard oil Wealth, responsible to good alone for his stewardship, was quoted sum day by the Rev. Dr. Robert S. MacAr- thur. the pastor of Cavalry Baptist Church, before his young peoples class.
 Dr. MacAythur said: "A few years ago some one asked Mir. Rockefeller pri- vately why 1t was. since he had such a tremendous fortune and his tastes were so simple, that he could not pos- sibly use one-tenth of his income, that he did not retire. MT. Rockefeller then made reply which he did not in- tend should be made public, which gives attitude of his mind never be- fore appreciated by the public.
 "I am the trustee of the property of others he said, through the provid- ence of God, committed to my care. A am the steward of vast interests be- longing in great part to widows and orphans and others who are actually or relatively poor For this holding I am responsible to God. Were I to give up my Interest in the Standard oil Com pany. would impair the Interests of these people according to the popular superyision e mat my with drawal would hurt the company's bus mess Therefore, feel 1t my duty to God and to the people whose money IS invested in my company, to continue active in it's welfare!
 Dr. Macarthur said his quotation was authentic and he intimated that he was the one who heard MT. Rockefeller so characterize his position in the world.

IMMIGRATION LAW VIOLATED MT. Bonaparte Renders Important Decision. GARCIA CASE IS SETTLED Contract Labor Law is Involved
 in Decision. Attorney General Holds that States Cannot Give Assurances of Em-s ployment as Inducements to
 Immigration.

Washington. Oct. 7-Attorney Gem eral Bonaparte has rendered an opin- ion in an important case, involving the right of a state to solicit immigration from a foreign country. He holds that in the>case submitted to him. the state violated the immigration laws ip paying the passage money of the im- migrants and that in this respect the state does not differ. in law, from an individual. The case in point has been pending before the department of commerce. and labor since Aug. 5. .
 On that date Geronimo Garcia arriv- ed in New Orleans from Cuba. By Il special board of inquiry at the former place hc was denied admission to the United States. The investigation de- veloped the fact that his passage mon ey had been paid by Regipafd DySers. an agent of the Louisiana state board of agriculture and immigration, out of funds regularly appropriated by the state legislature. He was given as- surance that employment as a farm la- borer would be secured for him and he promised to return to the state the money advanced to him to pay his passage from Havana to New Orleans. No employer was selected for him, but he was left free to work for whom he pleased. Tho case was brought by AD0 6LAtc OI l4ouAof6tlkA bO tC6l tHS hAhA~ migration law. Several other South ern states were interested in the mat ter because they had been engaged in soliciting immigration to points within their borders.
 The attorney generals opinion says:
 The assurances given to Garcia by the state agents constitute, in my opinion, promises for employment within tho inhibition of the statute While 1t Is provided that aliens com ing to this country in consequence of by a state. shall not be treated as coming undAr promise of employment. there Is no exception in favor of a state in reference to a specific promise Of employment to indi- vidual immigrants such as were held out to Garcia by representatives of the state poard.''
 The attorney general holds. there- fore, that on account of the assur- ances of employment that were given to Garcia as an inducement to his immigration he should be excluded from admission.
 It is expected that the case of Louis- jana will carry the case into the courts in order to obtain a judicial determi- nation of the questions which means much. in the view of the authorities, to all the States of the South

JEWS ARE OUTRAGED
ODESSA UNIONIsTs ATTACK FUN
 ERAL MOURNERS.
The COssacks Laughed at RnpidIty With Which the Black Hundred Escaped, Instead of Pur-
 suing Them.

odessa, Oct. 7.-The unionists of Odessa continued today their attacks and outrages upon Jews. They began by surrounding the Hebrew cemetery where a funeral service was going on. First they stoned and then they fired a volley of revolver shots at the mourning Jews. many of whom were wounded. The Jews fled In panic.
 Later in the day, members of the black hundred divided themselves into small groups. ransacking several Jew ish shops and beating the proprietors. A police sergeant, who attempted to in- tervene was brutally attacked. where upon he drew his revolver and killed one of his assailants. There were fewer police than usual on the streets today. After further Jew batting de- tachments of Cossacks arrived on the scene, but instead of pursuing the black hundreds, they laughed at the rapidity with which they made their escape.
 Up to the present time. Governor General Novitsky has made no attempt to stop the outrages, but nevertheless they are diminishing gradually.

 At Corinto the San Jose's manifest was examined by Nicaraguan, govern ment officials and her hold fsearched for ammunition after which she was allowed to proceed.
 Three months after Acajutla was at tackled by Nicaraguans, the gunboat Momotomb shelled the place and drove the Governor to surrender.
 Since that time, further trouble has been expected. Those on the San Jose heard little talk of revolution on the trip south. until Acajutla was reached. Here report had 1t that naval en- gagement was expected and attempts were being made to protect the port. However, 1t was not until the San Jose reached Acapulco that it was learned that Acajutla had fallen. Then the first word received came in the form of a rumor that a gunboat had stormed the port. Later advices which reached those on the steamer were that the port had been taken by land force and that the victorious army was pro- ceeding northward.

 At the time the experts were experi- menting In an effort to receive mes- sages from Ireland. they received sev- eral messages from the Irish station, and were in the act of making further tests when the instruments recorded the arrival of the Philadelphia at Ma nila.
