ROCKEFELLER MEETS
 FORMER STRIKER
Oil Magnate Has Interview With Joe Rizzi, Who Appealed to Him
 During Labor Trouble.

Trinidad, Col, Sept. 2s.-John D. Rockefeller, Jr., on his tour of in- srection of Colorado Fuel and Iron company properties, today left Las Animas county and motored north ward through a stretch of hilly country made historic by a succession nf battles in the miners strike of 1913-14 He expected to spend to-
 night at Walsenburg, 46 miles north ! of Trinidad.
 Before leaving Trinidad MT. Rocke- feller had an interview with Joe Rizzi, an Italian coal miner and for
 mer striker who came here to thank
 the oil magnate for the $100,000 given by the Rockefeller Foundation for the
 relief of unemployed men after the
 strike was called off. Rizzi is the
 miner whose telegram to MT. Rocke-
 feller last spring appealing for aid for the destitute wives and children of
 former strikers led directly to the foundation contribution and the inau-
 guration of an extensive system of road improvements by which several hundred men were given employment
 MT. Rockefeller's interest in the workings of the mines, the home life and surroundings of tho employees yesterday was unO1fnlnlSned. BeS1QeS meeting and talking with miners of tho camps and their wives MT. Rocke- feller visited the public school at Sophris. Here Blanche McArthur, twelve years old daughter of coal digger, recited to the Standard Oil r1agnate the rudiments of finance as the pupils were taught them in the operation of supply store and chill Gren's bank.

ssTHE SCANDAL OF
 sULPHURIC ACID''
London Globe Criticises Methods of Shipment of Product from
 America to England.

London. Sept. 23, 1.06 p. m-Great prominence is given by the Globe to- day to what it describes as "The scandal of sulphuric acid"
 "In the spring of this year, for reasons believed to be good and suf- ficient, doubtless, but which We hope will be made the subject of an in uuiry by the house of commons,' says the Globe, ''the firm of c. Tennant Sons & Co.,, by no means rem otely connected in fam lily sense with a member of the cabinet, was commissioned to puy large quantities of sulphuric acid in America. Why no attempt was made to secure acid in this country we will not stop to inquire"
 The Globe asserts that the meth ods employed in the shipm ent of the acid were so defective that hundreds of thousands of pounds were lost. It is asserted that the acid was forwarded in an impure form in iron drums which, even had the acid been pure, would have corroded and leaked. It

is said ships were damager by escap- ing acids, and that noxious gases were released, endangering the health of the crews. In one case, according to this newspaper, the crew refused to leave port and the acid was held up in New York for two months. Two steamships are saic to have been damaged so badly that there was nothing to do but to buy them, at a cost of $300,000
 The Globe suggests two questions: Why the acid was not shipped in proper containers and who has made good to the owners, Tennant & Co.,. or the government.

DUMBA'S RECALL OR
 NO SAFE CONDUCT
Washington to Take No Action Re- garding Ambassador Till It
 Hears From Vienna

Washington, Sept 23.-Action by
 the American government on the re- quest of Dr. Constantin Dumba, Aus tro-Hungarian ambassador here, that he be given safe conduct to Vienna will be taken, it became known of fcially today, when the Vienna gov ernment has replied to the request that the diplomat be recalled. The ambassadors withdrawal was asked
 as a result of letter he wrote to his foreign minister outlining plans for 1 disturbances in American munition plants A reply from Vienna is ex- pected within a few days.
 In requesting safe conduct Dr.
 Dumba notified the state department
 that his government had recalled him
 home on leave, adding that he planned
 to sail September 2S. Pending the
 receipt of the Austro- Hungarian reply,
 however, the question whether the
 Washington government will be sat
 isfied if Vienna carries out Dr. Dunn
 ba's request and gives notice that he
 is to be withdrawn lon leave' will
 not be determined.
 The Dumba case was one of the
 questions discussed at a conference last night between President Wilson and Acting Secretary of State Polk. The president had not decided early today what action, if any, to take re- garding Austro-Hungarian and Ger man officials involved in the Dumba l incident, including among others Cap tain Franz Won Papen, German mili- tary attache here, and Alexander Nuber Won Pereked, Austro-Hun sarian consul general in New York
