IROCKEFELLER'S DAUGHTER
TELLS FAMILY HISTORY
Says John DIS Father is Alive and In
Coed Health.

Chicago.-Much to the surprise or
her friends, Mrs. Harold Fowler Nc
Cormick, daughter of John D. Rookie
Teller, consented to discuss family af-
fairs. She said she was led to do SO
by attacks ON her father which had
imputed to him unworthy motives
with regard to the disappearance Of
William D., father Of John D. Rookie
Teller.
as it true that your grandfather
is a1ive?" was asked.
At have seen my grandfather on
many occasions" she replied. ~He
is one Of the most interesting men
/ have ever known. / can emember
the fascinating tales he would tell
his children and grandchildren when
I was Very young. 1t is some years
since I have seen him. Because of
asthma, from which he suffered, he
was frequently away from his wife
and children. These periods he
would spend in travel. He sought
dry climates and for amusement
hunted and hshed.
"Between my father and grand
father there has always existed the
respect and love that should prevail
between father and son. My grand
father watched with the kee1est in
terest the ~ces of his on. My
father and the other children were
never happier than when their father
| visited them"
Mrs. Mccormick then explained
why she did not know the present
residence of her grandfather.
II hardly e just why my grand
fathers presence interests the pub
| lie, " she said. 81 myself do not know
| where he is" she said finally.
When asked whether it was not
strange that members of his family
should be in ignorance Of his resi-
dence she replied:
mo, it is not strange. According
to his own request his w~hereabout1
are kept secret. 1t is a matter which
is never discussed, ven in the family
circle" y
as it true,P she was asked, "that
John d. Rockefeller, because of his
methods in business or his treatment
of his father, is responsible for this
desire for seclusion?"
mo; that does not necessarily fol-
low" she said, sand it is not the case.
At least, it is a great exaggeration of
the truth" Mrs. Mccormick init
mated that her grandfather's health
was responsible in a large degree for
his being out of range Of the public
| eye.
Financially, my grandfather needs
no assistance" she, said. "If he
should wish my. father to- give him
money, / am sure he would get it.
/ would not nave said what / have
! this afternoon had / not felt that il
was time to make known the truth
: about my father. / am quite sure he
will be somewhat put out about it.
but, then, he will know I did it be
cause I love him"
Mrs. Mccormick would not say how
recently she had see her grand
/ father, but asserted that the family
heard OF him from time to time. She
ascribed much of the present criticism
to her uncle, Frank Rockefeller.

NATION ALL WRONG,
DECLARES ROCKEFELLER
Says Roosevelt Administration is Destroying
Prosperity.

CleVeland.-After his game of golf,
a few days ago, John D. Rockefeller
took another slap at sthe Admins
tration," as he invariably styles
President Roosevelt. Curiously
enough, he said he regarded Secre-
tary Taft as a sound and conservative
man, despite Mr.. Roosevelt's efforts
to nominate the Secretary of War.
Rockefeller sees nothing ahead but
disaster to the business interests of
the country as long as his oil trust
and kindred monopol1es are pursued.
Here are some of the things he said:
The policy of the present Admin
1StratiOn toward great business com
b~lnationS of all kinds has only one
result. It means disaster to the
try, financial depression and financial
chaos.
The country already has a fair
dose OF this since the extreme penalty
imposed on one corporation, with a
limited number of shareholders, has
caused a loss of confidence, reflected
IN a falling stock market, a tighten
ing of money and a fear of the future.
What will be the effect when sim
liar action is taken against corpora
tlons with myriads of stockholders
scattered throughout the country, the
investors, the widows, the orphans?
Ihere a be but one answer The
present situation will be intensified
many fold. It does not require an ex-
pert to reason this out. The most
superficial thinker can do it. I will
go further and say to-day that be-
cause of the Administration with it's
reports every five minutes Of new &C
tons and of heavy fines, the country
is already beginning to drift toward
the rocks of financial depression.
Confidence is gone, and confidence
Is he basis of all prosperity. With
confidence established there can be
no stopping of the wheels of progress.
Without it all is at a standstill. The
investor, great and small, locks up
his money and refuses to venture
forth.
Requests are coming to me to-day
Tor money from quarters it was least
expected would be asking for money
some time ago. To-day I was Of
fered the unprecedented interest of
seven per cent. for $1,000,000 or ST.
100000 or $3,000,0O0. The security
was beyond all criticism. That would
be impossible in this country If there
was confidence enough to unlock the
money vault Of the country.
I know that the railroads of the
United States to-day are unable to
borrow money for any length of time.
1t is really Of no great moment
70 me. / am through with business.
Loss or gain no longer affect me. I
am content as I am to-day. I amin
better health than I have been for
many years. I am happier than I
nave been for twelve years or more.
Why are men making these offers to
me now? It is because of a lack of
confidence. Not a lack Of confidence
IN the resources of the country, not
because there is any danger of foreign
entanglements, not because of crop
failures nor of the monetary policy,
nor Of any social. condition, but a
lack of confidence in this Administra-
ton"

SPIES ON PAYRoLIs OF TRUSTS.
Secret Agents Of Government Watch
ing For Violations of Law.

Chicago.@Secret Service agents OF
the United States Department. Of JUS
tice, working through the Bureau of
Corporations, are said to be on the
payrolls of all the big railway corpora
tons and trust combines in the coun-
try. In Chicago alone, it is said,
there are at least $50 special men
who are working for railroads and
for packing-house companies and are
watching every move that is made
with a view of ascertaining whether
the Corporations laws are observed
in letter and spirit.
While no proof is obtainable as to
the presence of these spying en-
ployes, in several instances men who
have been suspected have been re
moved from their position on the
ground that they were in the employ
of the Government as secret spies.
