JOHN D. TO SURRENDER
WILL GoTo CHICAGoTo TESTIFY
BEFORE JUDGE Lands.
Counsel Make Promise That They
Will Produce Their Client in
Open Court.

Cleveland, O.-John D. Rockefeller has
decided to give himself up and testify
before Judge Lands in the Federal
court in Chicago 1t was learned to-
night upon trustworthy authority that
the oil king had reached an under
standing with the government officers
through his counsel, and that he here
after will not be molested by United
States marshals.
According to the present programme
Rockefeller will 20 to Cleveland to
spend the summer at his summer home,
Forest Hill, No government officers
will meet him to serve summons for his
appearance in the Chicago court. In
stead service will be obtained upon the
oil kings counsel, who have promised
to have Mr.. Rockefeller testify in the
Standard Oil cases before Judge Lands
in the United States court in Chicago
whenever his Testimony is desired.
1t was further learned that the gov
ernment has sent subpoenas for Rocke-
feller to United States marshals in dis
tricts whore they shought he might be
or might visit. Thus they would be
able to obtain service the minute a
United States marshal caught sight of
the billionaire. Now these officers will
be called of and Rockefeller will be
permitted to 90 where and when he
pleases without being bounded by serv-
ice servers.
1t was impossible tonight to learn
the present whereabouts of the oil king.

CLEMENCEAU WINS.
SOCIALISTS PROVE NO MATCH
FOR FRENCH LEADER.
VOTE CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT
Master Of Parliamentary Debate Cites
Years in Which He Had Fought
Oppression.

Paris. France.-The chamber OF
deputies by a decisive majority Of 12O
after an exciting eight hour debate,
voted confidence in the governments
policy regarding the winegrowers'
movement.
Premier CleQenceaus victory was
more decisive than his most ar
dent friends had expected. Dur.
Ing the session the extreme social
lists put forward speaker after speaker
from the south, but notwithstanding
their savage attacks they proved no
match for NJ. Clemenceau, who is a
past grand master in parliamentary
debate.
The premier based his defense
of the governments use Of force upon
the ground that the situation in the
south, with two hundred municipali-
ties striking and their population re-
fusing to pay taxes, could not be toll
Grated.
With consummate skill he re.
piled to the reproaches that rs had
become reactionary by recalling the
long years during which he had fought
against oppression and injustice and
by referring to the time when, as of
Montmartre under the commune he
almost sacrificed his life in endeavor'
ing to save French officers from a
mob.
After Clemenceau had conclud-
ed, NJ. Jaures, the socialist leader, at
tempted to turn the tide, but it was
too late to make an impression and by
a succession of votes the cabinet was
sustained.

He said: "There is something won
derfully magnetic and thrilling in
kiss. When two sets of lips come to-
gether it is like two clouds charged
with electricity, the one positive and
the other negative. And the result is
an emotional explosion and cloudburst
of excessive passion and ecstacy. Moth

ties for deadly evil. And | know moth
