Says His Talk Before Fed

Woman Forgives Him Her
Arrest booksellers
Views of Wealth

New York, Jan. 27.-John D. Rocke-
fel1er, Jr., was again before the federal
commission on industrial relations to-
day, to continue his discussion Of
policies in connection with the labor
employed by corporations with which
he and his father are identified. Mr.
Rockefeller was greeted by Miss Belle
Zilberman, who was arrested last sum-
ner in the Standard Oil building in
lower Broadway while taking part in
a parade organized by the Industrial
Workers of the World as a protest
against the shooting of miners at Lud-
low, Colo.
Yesterday. Miss ziIbernan said she
"forgave Mr.. Rockefeller for having
her arrested. Today she brought him
a, message of good will
Mr.. Rockefeller shook hands and
chatted with her for several minutes.
Before he resumed the witness stand
Mr.. Rockefeller walked over to the
press table.
You gentlemen have my sy1npa-
thy he said. IT'S a shame have to
testify so long. If there were other
witnesses it would not be so monot-
onous.''s
The possible danger that the great
pIlilanthropic foundations with their
dominate the churches, schools and
people of the country, "as the Ger
man militarist idea has done since
1870,' was suggested to Rockefeller
today at the Investigation.
Such an effort, Mr.. Rockefeller said
would newer be made BECAUSE in tbs
first place, the people of the United
States would never tolerate such a
thing and, secondly, the foundations
had no such idea. Their sole pur-
pose, he said, was to bring. about
better conditions
Referring to the Rockefeller foun-
dation he declared that even In the
remote future there was no danger
that its directors might not be men
of the same high ideals as those who
at present controlled it's policies. He
had no objection, he said, to "couri
of last report consisting Of the Pres
ident OF the United States, the gov
sernor of New York and the epresi-
dents of several universities with the
power of veto over the foundation
but he did not think that such an

sary. He did not believe that with.

GRAND JURY HEARS
MANY WITNESSES
in CASE MYSTERY

Winsted. Jan. decentralization of
the evidence attained by the authori-
ties against Isaac N. Williams, of
Bridgeport; Harry Roe, of Pough-

comb was foreman Of the jury The
witnesses summoned were Barkham-

night of November 80, only two days
after the crime, detective, a man
with wooden leg who posed as a
chair repairer, remained over night at
the PIaefflin home or thereabouts.

usefulnessg had ended. In doing
this it would be natural for this
government to suggest that if
agreeable relations are to continue
between the two governments, Aus
tria should send someone who
would be more Cal eful and not vio-
late the neutrality of the United
States-even with the approval of
his own foreign office.
Officials can hardly conceive of
situation wherein Austria would
persist in a policy of interfering in
the domestic affairs of the United
States. If Austria were to an
nounce irreyocably her position to
that effect, the breaking off of
diplomatic relations would almost
necessarily follow in the course of
time.
The situation presented to Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Lansing
yesterday is so clearly without
precedent that the administration
is in a quandary. A case some
what similar was that of Rustem
Bey, the Turkish ambassador, who
criticised the Philippines policy of
the United States.
Rustem Bey's offense was pre-
sented privately to the Turkish
government, and the ambassador
was soon called home on "leaye of
absence" He is still absent.
If the Austrian government
should reply to the communication
of the United States with a state
ment that in its opinion Ambassa-
dor Dumba had not overstepped the
proprieties, the situation would be
somewhat similar to one which de-
veloped in the early history of this
country. The question then was
between the United States and
Great Britain.
