an amazing story.
When a girl of sixteen Mrs. Annie

act. Finding her blinded ducks, the
enraged neighbor hurled maledictions
on the girl, expressing the hope that
God would punish her likewise.

The "oil king" was assisted TO the
stand BY Thomas J. Eagan, the SER
geant-at.arms. After he had taken his
seat ne turned toward the commission
ers. and not once during the afternoon
faced the spectators squarely His
face va. flushed and his eyes active,
bu. not particularly bright. He wore
a sack sui. of mixed grayish and white
tweed. His silvery wig had a snappy
appearance. Hi. collar was a turned
down one, and his scarf a four-inhand.
He wore eyeglasses.
He gave mis- name and both ad-
dresses, and said he had been out Of
active business life for from thirty 10
thirty-fve years. After he had an
syered that he was the donor of the
Rockefeller Foundation he asked per-
mission to read the questions submit
ted 10 him and the answers ne had pre-
pared. This, OF course, was immedi-
ately granted, and he started reading
in a steady voice. which could be heard
in all parts OF the wjammed room.
He spoke slowly.
