MERRITT ANSWERS GATES
Says Defence of Rockefeller Has

Washington. Nov. 25.-Replying to the
statement Of the Rev. Frederick T. Gates,
I'm which he emphaticaly denied all the
charges made by the Merritt brothers be-
fore the House Steel investigating commit
tee. Leonidas Merritt declared tonight he
had heard It all before.
1T is not to be expected, said MIR. Mer-
ritt that a man who made such propo-
sition 10 me as did Mr.. Gates would admit
it. All this palaver Of Rockefeller's gener-
osity is familiar. have heard 1t before.
ut Is easy TO be seen that this reverend
gentleman is more familiar with the ledgers
of Rockefeller than with the teachings OF
cur Blessed Redeemer for the reason that
his mind has for years been hxed on cash
on earth rathen than treasures in Heaven

''There is another little thing that he

I spent a few months in New York In close
communication with Mr.. Rockefeller ana
Mr.. Gates. and during that time tney
managed TO get possession of 5000 snares
of stock that Mr. Rockefeller, according
TO the Rev Gates, few years later turned
over 10 the Steel Corporation. as L recall
because a few hundred thousand dollars
he loaned me was, as he knew, put back

BOY HANGS SELF IN CELLAR
Father Puts Blame for Act on
Moving Picture Shows.

His mind unbalanced by motion pict-
ures, Cedric f. Williamson, sixteen years
old son of Cedric Williamson, gardener
for Leigh II. French, a promoter, living
at No. 1S5 Pelham Road. New Rochelle,
committed suicide yesterday morning by
hanging himself to a drain pipe in Gel
lar of the gardeners cottage. The body
was found by the boys father at mid
night last night.
For several years. il is said, the boy
hal spent all his none in motion pict-
u. shows in New Rochelle and New
York City. He preferred the bandit and
cowboy sort, and delighted in graphically
describing the most blood-curdling Of
the scenes.
ut was nothing but motion pictures
that made the boy kill himself" said the
boys father yesterday. why he never
talked of anything else, and I guess it
was the only thing he has thought Of In
the last two years. He and his friends
used to pull off mock hold-ups and
lynchings. A few days ago Cedric came
home from New York and told me he
had seen a lynching picture. 1t made
him so excited that ] thought | would
