The Truth as to the Rockefeller Foun-
datiOn.

Nothing can be more characteristic
Of the present Investigation Of the
Rockefeller Foundation by the Federal

Question IS of the catechism addressed
to the Foundation preliminary to the
hearings and by the answer thereto.
Here they are:
Question Is. What were the funda-
mental reasons and purposes which led to
the consolidation and incorporation of the
various Rockefeller benefactions?
Answer. There has been no consolida-
ton OF the various Rockefeller benefac-
tons"
The Commits sion ON Industrial Rela-
tons or it's dominating spirits were
actually in ignorance of the structure
and character of the Foundation which
they have been asSailnG as a social
and economic peril. II IL superfuous
to point out that the facts have been
printed hundreds II not thousands Of
times aud are well known to the aver
age newspaper reader. But the idea
OF combination, the trust phantom,
stands constantly between some minis
and the truth.
One of the main grounds Of quarrel
with the Foundation now and in the
past is the supposed possibility of its
endowment accommodating To such an
enormous degree MS to become n money
giant OF dangerous powers. This point
Is pretty broadly dealt with in the
questiOnnnlre ana the reply thereto.

The Roosevelt Tragedy Before the
Grand Jury.

The law relating TO the right of peace
ful assemblage and the power Of po.
lice officers under the direction of the
Sheriff to deal with rioters was plain
and explicit enough before the tragedy
at Roosevelt, but Justice BERGEN was
called upon ut New Brunswick yester-
day to restate the law to a Grand jury
which Is to consider indictments. OF
course the Grand Jury Is composed Of
men who are not expected to know the
law applicable 10 conditions Of disorder
and to limitations Of police authority.
but Sherlffs and Mayors are presumed
to have knowledge OF it.
One Is forced to the conclusion that
n Sheriffs and Mayors always knew

would be fewer demands upon Judges
to explain its fundamentals to Grand
Juries sitting to inquire into such af

impression that the march OF the Anna

The ballet in The BLACK Crook" was
probably the first production Of the kind
in New York Miles. Bonfanti and San

Lydia Thompson and company appeared

Talk Of Lydia being u great actress Is
all hush The lie Of the company was

In the sinking Of the British battle
ship Formidable. which was rwice tor
pedocd by "A German submarine In the
Channel. there is moro uhan one lesson
for the United States navy. The
Formidable remained anoat for two
hours before she plunged to the bottom,
yet nearly three-fOurths of her compile
ment went down with her. why were
not more men saved? The answer is in
part that the power for the ships wire
less apparatus gave out. Signals for
help would doubtless have brought
other vessels to the scene In the heavy
water the Formidable could use only
few unchanged boats. II is now
suggested in England that every war
ship he provided with an auxiliary en-
CINE for her wireless apparatus
one OF the young officers VI the
Formidable who survived writes that
without Gieve's waistcolt in tho sea
that was running could not have stuck
it out" He was picked up by one of
the pinnaces. This life saving APP
pllance can he worn AZ all times on
board ship. and the method Of initiating
the waistcoat in an emergency Is very
simple It is infinitely superior to the
collar supplied by the British Ad-
m.ralty for 1t keeps the wearer higher
out OF the water, an advantage in a
rough sea. A similar device much used
by airmen who may have 10 fly over
water Is the Boldly life saving Jacket
or waistcoat, This is stuffed with
kapok. a material five times as buoyant
as cork The waistcoat allows complete
freedom OF movement by the wearer
when he is engaged In his ordinary
work. and II is besides a warm gar
ment. As warships will frequently he
exposed to attack 10y submarines in
wars OF the future, an inflatable Jacket
