SEN. WORKS ON
TAINTED MONEY
FIRES BROADSlDE INTO ROCK
EFELLER FOUNDATION FUND
"GOTTEN BY CRIME"

Washington, May 5.-Bfforts in
congress to incorporate the 100000, D
900 Rockefeller Foundation were
scored today by Senator Works who
declared them a proposal to farm
out to John d. Rockefeller and his
associates the right and power to ed
ucate the people of the country with
money accumulated by criminal
means" Senator Works statement
was made in connection with speech
he delivered in the senate today on
trusts and combination, the existence
of which he blamed to the high pro-
tective tariff policy.
THE extent to which this may be
carried out is practically unlimited.
The corporations and institutions OF
learning which may be established
throughout the country in the hands
of people who will be subservient
to the interests and views of Mr..
Rockefeller and his associates are
without number or limitation" said the
senator.
I'VE do not want our children to
be taught the ways nor the methods
of John d. Rockefeller or his kind.
nor to be generous with ill-gotteu
gains, nor to touch, handle, or profit
by gold that should blister the fin.
gers of the man who has accumulated
it by extortion, oppression, and crime
and is now attempting to rid himself
Of it by giving it away, nor to be-
come the receivers Of stolen goods
in the name and under the guise OF
charity"
"The interstate commerce commits :,
sion." continued the senator, Should
be allowed to determine whether fair
wages are being paid by any concern.
and If not, to compel the employer
employing foreign laborers and pay
ing European wages to pay the same
tariff on its manufactured goods
that are enforced against foreign i'm
portations until its wages are in
creased dto fair scale for American
workmen.
"The wage Garner must be protect
ed in his earnings and reasonable
hours of labor, the consumer in reas-
enable prices, and the whole people
must be protected in their independ
ence and liberty. The equality of all
men must be made a reality and not
theory. If the democratic party
can and will accomplish these results,
demanded by the people, it may live
and maintain itself in power If ii
does not, its reign will be brief. If
neither of the old parties can or will
restore the government to the people
as our forefathers handed it down,
then a new party will be raised up
that will do the peoples will. 1t will
be a party of the peoples own maxi
ing, founded on justice fair dealing,
and disinterested patriotism. / am
ready to give the democratic party a
fair trial. l am willing to wait and
see and to lend my aid to that party
or any other to bring about just and
beneficient laws through and by
which the whole people may be brought
into their own and their just rights
fostered and protected"

CITY APPROVES ASPHALT BID,
COUNTY OUT OF CONTRACT

While the Aldermanic Board this
afternoon finally will approve a con-
tract with the Texas Company, the
lowest bidder for asphalt, Chairman
Shelby Smith, of the County Commits
sion, announced that the county
would make no contract for the
years supply of asphalt but buy from
whomever it chooses as the material
is needed.
In view of the wide differences in
the prices of asphalt and the fierce
competition between the various
companies. the attitude of the Coun-
ty Commission is puzzling to them.
A majority of tn County Commission
favor lake asphalt, a product of the
Barber Asphalt Company. the asphalt
trust, but the Standard Oil Company
declares that it's material analyses
just as good and is almost one third
cheaper.

Recent Buyers Liquidate on the
Good Weather News and De-
cline Follows Unloading.

NEW YORK, April 10-In the face OF
continued unfavorable river news the
cotton market opened quiet with first
prices unchanged to 1 points lower than
Wednesdays final. The bull forces were
aggressive bidders under the market,
but the ring crowd was inclined to sell.
In addition to this selling some of the
recent buyers who have been inclined to
the long side were noticeable sellers.
Une large spot firm was creditd with
selling 5000 bales Of July at 1912 i'm
mediately after the opening. This re-
suited in freer offering from the locals,
also encouraged scattered realizing from
a number of spot interests. AT the end
of the first half hour prices were to
points under the opening range. Ihe
buying was scattered. The demand for
new crop months was better.
Liverpool did not meet the full ad-
vance due on American markets. but
reported spots in good demand at :
points advance.
The bulls threw up their hands in de-
spair shortly after the call. The thread
which has been UNFOLDING the market
was snapped. The falling Of the river
around Memphis and prospects of cooler
weather in the South enabled bears to
operate more aggressively, and new
