ASSAILS THE TRUSTS
ROCKEFELLER PROFESSOR SAYS
THEY FOSTER SOCIALISM.

CHICAGO. August s.-John D. Rockefel-
Ter. founder an supporter of the University
OF Chicago. was bitterly attacked yesterday
by Prof, Charles Zueblin of the depar tment
Of sociology OF that institution.
similar attack was made by Prof. Bush
nell OF Washington. who declared that the
whole world Is turning to socialism in an
effort to escape the burdens that have been
piled on by the class to which Rockefeller
belongs.
Prof Zueblin was greeted by a large au-
dienoe when he appeared in Kent Theater
to deliver his lecture.
Not only did he express emphatic opin-
ions about the head of the oil combine. but
he also criticised the Standard OIL Com
pany itself. He declared the defense made
for the big corporation In the recent case.
in which 1t was fined So. 24O. OOO-that 1t
mon in business-was weak and cowardy.
Trust Magnates Responsible.
The subject of Prof. Zueblins lecture
was The Constraint Of Orthodoxy" He
assailed orthodoxy, not only in religion. but
In economics. politics and social life de-
clarng 1t to be the cause Of many of the
present-day evils He said in part:
John d. Rockefeller, ]. Pierpont Morgan
f. H. Hartman and the other trust mag
mates are doing more to make socialism
possible than are its most Jealous adher-
ents. They. are consolidating the indus
tries and thereby simplifying the process
for state ownership. which constitutes So
cialism."

OLD NEWPORT.
Its Many and Varied Historic Charms
and Associations

From Town and Country.
Old Newport Is a story Of itself The
Redwood library is historic 1t was estab-
lfshed In 1747 and is repository OF val
liable manuscripts. books and pictures, but
how few of the Newport crowd who frlvol
during the six weeks Of Its season know
of Its existence? 1t has been a watering
place since 1922 and for years was the
summer home Of old South Carolina and
West India families There are many re-
markable old houses in the town proper,
and among these are Gen. Prescott's head
quarters. the state house on the square, the
Hazard house. the Wanton house on Broad
way the Bull residence and the numerous
beautiful colonial places on the Point
known az Washington street. and once the
court end of town. Trinity Church, with
its historic graveyard. It's high-back pews
ana its eighteenth century organ and pulpit,

ferrous mill. perhaps 500 or perhaps 1000
years its senior In age, is always interest
ing to sightseers. AS a rule. though. WIS.,
itors clamOr to see only the houses of multi
milHOnares.
Perhaps among the younger people at
Newport there are few who have read Bret
Harte's version of the young woman In the
days of the visit of the gallant Rocham-
beaus feet-she who loved and who Vas de-
serted by the officer who sailed away and
never returned. She is said to haunt an
old mansion on the Point and her ghost
makes itself known by the faint perfume
OF mignonette. There are many romantic
stories concerning the visit Of the French
fleet and the gayeties at Newport a century
and more ago. Every one has heard OF
the three beautiful Misses Hunter, two of
whom made brilliant foreign matches. The
Hunter family still reside at Newport. and
during the last Wee. in May the venerable
Mrs. William Hunter celebrated her
eighty-second birthday by q reception Her
late husba nd was a nephew Of the famous
beauties. one of whom became the Coun-
tess de Cardigan. The Hunters are de-
scended from the famous DIR. William Hun
ter. The Rev. Mr. Birckhead. the rector of
st. Georges. in Stuyvesant square. New
York. Is also a descendant. And then it
was Newport which gave to this country
the immortal Perry. the greatuncle Of the
present generation of Belmonts. The first
Mrs. August Belmont was the daughter Of
Commodore Matthew Perry. a brother of

PEDDLINe new YORK BONDS
METZ TRYING TO MARKET ISSUE
IN GERMANY.
Manhattan Bankers Failed to Respond
When Four Per Cents
Were Offered

BERLIN, August S.-Controller Metz OF
New York, while studying municipal SUB
tects here, is also inauiring into the FEAST
bility Of selling New York city bonds In
Europe. This Is in consequence OF the I'M
satisfactory result of the recent sale In
New York. He appears to believe that
Paris Is the best market, although Berlin
may participate.
Mr. Metz finds there is plenty OF money
here free for investment, but American Sc
curities generally have SO declined that
European lenders seem to distrust the new
American issues. That, however. he thinks.
Is probably temporary. German money is
flowing into German municipal bonds. OF
which enormous quantities Of per cents
were sold this year and in 1906 at slightly
below par. The mortgage banks are also
selling per cents at below par.
The New York city 4 per cents. however.
may not, according to the law, be sold be-
low par.
A further indication Of the unfavorable
position of the German loan market Is the
fact that the recent issue OF $1O0.OOO.OOO in
imperial Prussian treasury notes. yielding
an equivalent of 4.20 per cent, this week
dropped below par.
