from Bethesda, Md, rushed forward
when the two women had left the

John D. Rockefeller and T. F. Ryan.
There was nothing religious about his

sentence, and sat down glowing with
pride.
Henderson was followed by speech

the words of the women who had
been howled down. They defended
them automatically, however, and re-
