overshot. "If you will help my people
sdetrack the dishonest intention of that

Francis started to RISE but this time
troubled doubt had displaced anger He
wanted to get quickly from the room and

WILL KEEP BODY
FOR A FEW DAYS
Father and Son at Last Mo-
ment Decide Against Inter-
ment-SimpIiCity Marks the
Funeral Services.

NEW YORK, March John d.
Rockefeller and his son. John D.
Rockefeller, jr., decided at the last
moment Sunday they could not com
NIT the body CT wife and mother TO
the tomb at present.
All arrangements had been made
for temporary interment In the vault
Of John u. ArchbOld in Sleepy Hol-
low cemetery. A hearse had been en-
gagged to take the body there at the
conclusion of services which were
held Sunday afternoon at 1880
o'clock.
When all was ready the father and
son tearfully pleaded to be allowed
TO keep the body as long as possible.
I'VE were not here when she pass
ed away" said the elder Mr.. Rookie
Teller in broken tones. We want to
have her with us until the last mo-
ment."
Their wishes were respected and
the body will remain in the palatial
home at Pocantico Hills probably for
several days. 1t was stated Sunday
night at the mansion that no arrange
ments had been made for the inter
ment.
The same simplicity that was the
dominating feature Of her entire life
marked the funeral services for Mrs.
Rockefeller.
Sixty friends OF the family were at
the services. Mr.. Rockefeller. his
face tear-stained and trembling with
emotion, took his place in the library
with the others as did his son. Their
grief was pitiable-
A quartet from the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church rendered the following
hymns, all favorites of Mrs. Rookie
Teller:
Jesus. Lover OF My Soul" "Oh,
Thou That VIII Not Let Me Co"
Sands of Time Are Sinking" Near
er My God to Thee" and Now the
Day is over
The great pipe organ in the home
was the only accompaniment There
were two violin solos by Richard Ar
mold.
The Rev. DR.. Cornelius Wolfkin,
pastor OF the Fifth Avenue Baptist
church, OF which Mrs. Rockefeller
was a member, read a scripture les
son, after which he spoke in tender
words for the departed.

CONCENTRATION Of
WEALTH A CURSE
Results Are Being Seen in the
United States, Says Rev.
Henry L. DaviS-InfluenCeS
Politics, Press and Pulpit.

Corrupted politicians, a cringing
pulpit and a venal press were de-
clared to he some of the results of
the great concentration of wealth in
the United States at the present time.
by Rev. II. l.. Davis I'm his Sunday
sermon at the First NJ. E. church.
IF wealth has its perils,'' he said,
then there is no land beneath the
sun where so many are walking the
slippery pathway than in our own
America. And if the greater the
wealth the greater the temptation,
then we behold among us temptation
at its worst, for here we see wealth
at it's highest.
I'VE have today more national
wealth than any two European ma
tons combined. The imperial Chinese
commissioner. few years ago in con-
versation with a prominent political
economist OF America, declared that
New York city mad collected from its
then 100000 population more rev.
enue than the Chinese empire had col
lected from its 400. 100000. Fourteen
hundred OF our American millionaires
are residents of New York city.
Whence cometh this enormous
wealth? Not from labor-nOne would
deny for example that the Chinese
people work They are literal slaves.
Yet they know nothing Of values like
ours. Our values have come from
our marvellous natural resources,
lands. mines. forests. rivers. 1t has
been developed by our great civiliZa-
ton where once our demands were
few and simple. they are now multi
piled and complex
Invention Creates Wealth.
In supplying this demand the ma
ton has become wealthy. Invention
has made easy the creation OF the
products which answer 10 this de-
mand We are conserving even our
waste products. Once cotton seed was
a waste and a nuisance: today cotton
seed produces ST0,000,O0O annually in
value Thus we sec some OF the
sources Of our great wealth. wealth
that would stagger the Caesars and
make CrOesus green with envy.

Whereas Jeusu has a message that ap-
plies to these other matters as well.
I'VE have been reading the gospels
more carefully of late and have dis
covered that Jesus really had a mes
sage efecting the social condition Of
this world, as well as a hope to hold
out for the world to come. His Cos
pei has a broader application than
the church has sometimes interpreted
it. People were lost economically and
there was enough dynamic power in
the teaching Jesus to change the So
cial condition Of his day had his teach
ing been needed.
But the early church discovered
the great spiritual truth and preached
that with all its might. TO the eXclu-
sion of the social elements in his
teaching. The result was many were
saved spiritually but continued to be
lost economically. And this cOndi-
ton of things obtained through the
centuries until now we are trying to
apply the social teachings to our So
ciety.
we find it hard 70 change condi-

good for that matter. Wealth in hu-
man hands only is a power for veal
or for woe. Wealth distributed among
the many is harmless, but II becomes
powerful and dangerous when con-
centrated in single hands. The first
and greatest peril today is that OF con-
centrated wealth. Less than $4,000
people possess today more than half
OF our eOuntry's wealth. one per
more than the remaining 90 per cent.
The enormous wealth controlled by
great corporations as a rule is direct
ed oy a very few men.
But what danger or harm can
come from such wealth in the hands
OF a few men? Simply this. If in
the hands Of evil and selfish men il
will clog up those springs which alone
can keep the channels Of our national
lie pure. the press. the political for
UNI and the pulpit. Who will deny
but that in many instances we have
had a venal press, corrupted polite
ians and a cringing pulpit
The second great peril Of extreme
wealth is its enervating power 10 the
individual and family life As a rule
II IS not SO enervating TO the one who
has gotten II together, but TO his heirs
and assignes The first thought OF
the rich man whose barns were full
and his harvests bountiful was soul
take thine ease.
Some Extravaganza.
AN elaborate dinner is held in
New York where cigarets were rolled
in 500 bills; another gives a dinner
costing $3.50 a plate and still another
gives banquet for dog. whereon he
places a 5000 diamond collar which
almost makes one feel that he wishes
ne had been born a dog instead OF a
man. One New York woman boosted
that she was first TO give a cat a pair
of diamond earrings.
"In the same city we find such eX-
travagance as a $4,000 cradle. $1,000
hat pin. SIS. 200 opera glasses, $4,000
piano, $2S0,000 string of pearls and
$500. coo necklace. Who wonders
AZ social unrest Who is startled when
we are told that the socialist vote
went from 1000 in 1883 to $4,000 in
1912.
Finally. it is a personal peril. If
we are to believe the scriptures, what
we pay for material things is an ele-
ment of salvation. Here the story
Of the scripture was used 10 show that
the man who bought a yoke of oxen
and a piece of land and paid too dear
~ for them. Anything that we gain
dishonesty or in its possession we
have harmed our fellow men or in its
seeking or holding we wrong our own
souls is a peril frought with not only
temporal but eternal interests"

this he must be saved intellectually

MARCH I TO BE TRIAL OF DUMMY
OWNER OF PACKERS MILLS


Louis G. Ehle, dummy owner of a
100000 string Of cotton oil mills
secretly owned by the ArmOur-SWift-
Morris packing companies, goes to
trial March 1 on charges of embez-
element and forgery Judge Petit set
date for trial yesterday.
The trial may bring evidence show
ing all the drops, slides and trap
doors by which a big corporation uses
a confidential man.
One of the embezZlement indict-
ments hangs on the testimony of
Henry Veeder and Albert Veeder, two
attorneys for Armour & Co. The
charge is that Ehle was given a check
for $615 by Sara A. Burns, a client,
to turn over to the attorneys, but he
failed to do so.
The forgery charge hangs on evil
dence from the Fort Dearborn Ma
tional bank and the Merchants Loan
& Trust Co., the latter known as a
Marshall Field bank and the former
as a stockyards bank.
While these charges hang over
Ehle in criminal court, the beef trust
is under attack by Arba N. Water
man, creditor of Ehle, in civil action
in the superior court. Waterman
claims he loaned Ehle $4,000 be-
cause he understood Ehle was owner
and operator of a $4,000, 900 string Of
cotton oil mills in Texas and Arkan-
sas.
A report by R. G. Dun & Co., de-
scribing Ehle as a real millionaire
magnate of industry, standing well
at the banks and always good cash
pay, is part Of the Waterman evil
dence.> Waterman, who is former
circuit Judge of Cook county, wants
to know how and why the Armour
Swift-Morris companies, the real
owners Of the cotton oil mills, ever
permitted such a report on Ehle to

bank account away from him. It wasy
at this time, too, that a trapdoor was
sprung on Ehle and he fell out ofs
place as president, owner and heavy
guy Of Is cotton oil mills and 75l
gins, besides warehouses, real estate,I
etc, etc.
Before Ehle started In on his Job,
as cotton oil magnate he secretly
signed papers called declarations Of
trust, to be held by the Armour,
Swift-MorTfs crowd. These papers
gave the stockyards crowd ten call
on Ehle. Though Ehle was out in
front travelling as Louis C. EhIe, prop
rietor of the Louis G. EhIe on Mills,
Not Inc, the beef trust could at any
time drop him. They did this in March
last year. Why they did it, Judge
Waterman wants them to explain.
Clarence Darrow, attorney for
Ehle, intimated today that he may

sational facts bearing on how the

were under prosecution by the fed.
