walsh Not Well Pleased.

Chairman Walsh doesn't altogether like
Mr. Rockefeller's way OF answering ques-
lions and so indicated several times yes
terday. Commissioner Ballard, on the
other hand, told him after the hearing
that he liked IL immensely. He said
that he thought II best for all that Mr..
Rockefeller say what he wanted to. going
into details on all occasions. and explain
ing the exact situation where he could.
There was another record crowd and
police lines had to be established. Mr..
Rockefeller rebelled yesterday against
the police precautions to protect him from
cranks He asked that the guard of men
from Police Headquarters DO discontinued
because while he appreciated the courtesy
he did not believe In the necessity of pro-
lection. Plain clothes men remained sta
toned among the spectators nevertheless
During the course OF the hearing Chair
man Walsh read a letter sent to the
commission by William J. Dalton of Cleve-
land Ohio. who said that ne had been
permanently injured in the mines of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and
could get no redress, although he had
written to Mr.. Rockefeller. his father.
Secretary OF State Bryan and others A
reply from the elder Rockefeller's secre-
tary said that Mr.. Rockefeller was on a
vacation and could not attend to the
matter.
Did you receive or did you reply 70
Mr.. Dalton's letter.
NO. have no recollection OF tho
letter at all. Did the commission get the
reply OF Mr. Bryan and other dlstin-
sr!shed c!.!-e:s? ! should ..,!nk Z. might
be interesting TO know what they wrote"
IF you are interested you might ask
Mr.. Dalton" replied Mr.. Walsh. You

JEFF DAVIS SUGGESTS
FARM HOTEL DE GINK

A new "Hotel de Gink" proposition was
launched by the king OF the hoboes"
Jeff Davis, at the meeting OF the Ma
tional Forward to the Land League in
the Berkeley Lyceum last night. II think
Il would be some stunt" he said, ''to get
farms throughout the country where they
could stop and work a while. Not charity,
you understand, but where they could pay
rent Don't you think as how some OF
those thousands OF us who are tramping
back and forth from coast TO coast would
like farms and their own place to look
afterT
There will be SPEAKERS this afternoon and
evening and tomorrow at the Berkeley
Lyceum.

Respect for Old Standards.

Mr.. Rockefeller again showed DISPOSE
ton to protect the officials OF the company
by refusing to say he would DISCHARGE
them until he knew all OF the facts In any
particular case. He disclosed no theories
on variety OF sociological questions but
indicated disposition to judge old ques-
tons by old standards.
Have you ever estimated how much
EFFORT and time IL would take to inform
yourself OF all these conditions in Colo
rado?"
NO. haven't even had the time to
make the estimate"
Chairman Walsh had figured out that Mr.
Rocketeller's father had got 50. ESQ, 900 in
come out OF the Colorado mines in ten
years. He said that In that time ss2. 600.
OOO had been paid in wages TO tho Il, 900
employees.
Now, ] would like to know he said,
III you think II just and socially desirable
that these $4,000 men who work the mines
should receive only ten times the income
OF one man who has never been there?"
Mr.. Chairman, I see no connection be-
tween the return on an investment and
wages paid. 7 think employees should re-
ceive fun wages. which they have. and
that capital should get a fair return on
It's investment, which II has not in this
Instance. Labor has been better Off than
capital. Two-thirds OF I per cent is an
utterly inadequate return. Capital could
not long be stimulated into Industry that
pays not more than that II would rather
20 20 the savings banks. II Is a question
OF active capital or capital that remains
in the bank. In this case capital provided
work for thousands OF men and paid fair
wages while II made less return than IL Il
mad done nothing"
The morning session opened with tho
rereading OF Mr., Rockefellers statement
that he would be glad to receive sugges-
lions from the commission as to abuses In
the Colorado mining camps and 20 exert
himself in remedying them.

Decline Equivalent to ~ Lives
saved Reported by city.

The city's death rate declined sharply
last week, the rate being 1910 deaths per
thousand population as against l4.6 in
1914 Inqsmuch as for the first two weeks
Of this year the rate was much higher
than the same period In 1914 and the de-
crease last week was enough to make the
total since the FIRST of the present year
loss than the rate for "A similar period In
1914. Board of Health officials feel much
relief. particularly as a week ago they
could not assign reason for the sharp
increases.
The decrease Is equivalent to a decrease
or III deaths, Deaths from influenza were
the same as for the same week in 1914;
deaths from heart disease. diseases OF the
digestive system, pulmonary tuberculosis
Brght's disease and nephritis were con-
sldorably less, More people died from

will you suggest" asked Chairman
walsh. what you think the commission
should do to inform you of conditions out
there?"
II should hardly venture to suggest to
such a commission as this" replied Mr.
Rockefeller smoothly, "but II you have any
specific ideas about what should be done
shall be glad TO consider them"
Might | suggest then" Countered the
chairman with just trace of sarcasm
that II would be we'll to read the testi-
mony taken before this commission in
Colorado and SO TO inform yourself con-
corning these matters in which as direc-
tor OF the company YOU are interestedT'
yes, | shall do that but had hoped
you might have something specific TO sug-
gest in the way of Improvement" replied
Mr. Rockefeller
Turning again TO conditions In the
mining districts MIR. Walsh asked the
witness II he thought 1t proper for COM
pany officials to Instruct the ministers II
maintains In the camps as TO what their
opinions should be.
81 should say II was not. I think the
minister in the mining camp should have
the same privileges as any other citizen
and should speak freely what he thinks"
Judgment According to Facts.
Thinking that way would you as a
director vote to remove an executive Of
ficer who had instructed a minister"
MIR. Chairman, l want TO be perfectly
frank. | am not trying to avoid answer
ing your questions, but I must make II
clear that In justice TO the officers OF our
company ! cannot say what ! would do
In any case without first knowing all the
facts and rendering a Judgment accord
ing to them "
Mr.. Rockefeller said he was opposed TO
violence and upon reference being made
to the fact that the sheriff of Huerfano
county had sworn in 326 deputies before
the strike started and that company
official had assumed responsibility for
supplying arms and compensation. he was
asked II he did not believe such pro-
cedure a menace to a republican form
OF government
81 am not familiar with the facts In the
case" replied Mr.. Rockefeller. land II
would be impossible for me to say what
measures should have been taken to pro-
tect the property OF the company and the
lives OF the men who remained at work
] should say that anything which inter-
feres with democratic government Is to be
deplored and avoided. But / should say
also that II a man broke into my house
II would be the duty of the police to pro-
tect my property and my family, but I'M

TO do something myself. think that is a

EVERY TOMMY WILL GET A
 XMAS PRESENTS FROM QUEEN

LONDON, Dec. 14.-The armies in Northern France are preparing for another winter campaign. Relief societies in England are taking extra ordinary precautions to see that the trench dwellcrs do not endure such as they suffered last year.
 Within two months, every mile of British and Belgian trench will have been equipped with square, boxlike charcoal and coke trench heaters, specially made and costing $500 per trench mile. It is estimated that each $500 contributed will warm 5000 men. About 400 of these heaters al ready have been shipped to the Bel gian trenches.
 Trench pumps will dry out flooded trenches. Trench kitchens and trench cooking supplies also will be in evi- dence. The frozen feet, rheumatism, ague and levers that sent thousands of men from the trenches to hospitals year ago will thus be avoided
 Every fourth woman in Britain be- longs to some relief society most of whose members are knitting stock ings, mufflers and heavy garments for the Tommes and their Belgian and French allies.
 Several societies and newspapers have started Christmas Pudding campaign for the soldiers. One news paper got $1O,OOO the first two weeks. No Tommy shall miss his Christmas pudding, the campaigners declare. Officers wives whose husbands are serving in the Dardanelles have a society for sending Christmas cheer to the men there.
 Queen Mary will provide every soldier and sailor with a Christmas gift. This honor last year fell to Princess Mary, who distributed over a million handsomely decorated metal boxes filled with food and useful articles. The increased land and sea forces will make Queen Mary's a more difficult and expensive task.
