In. the peaceful quietudc Of a sum-
mer evening, a red-faced cook put
her head out Of the window of a sub
urban house and shouted: "Thieyes
Police" !" at the top of her lungs.
Instantly all was confusion. The
neighbors left their houses, and a per-
spiring policeman came reluctantly up
the steps of an area opposite and com
menced a search for the marauders.
But not a soul could he find. Every
thing in the house was in apple-pia or
der, and, after looking about for some
time, he left in disgust.
Martha, why in the world did you
give that false alarm?" her mistress
asked her afterwards.
''To have my revenge on the police
man, ma am" Martha candidly con-
fessed. ''The brute's thrown me over
for the cook across the way, and he
was just sitting down to supper there
when l called out 'Policer 2 and made
him run. Now the grub VIII be cold,
and / know from experience, ma'am,
that If there's anything on earth that
makes Robert wish hisself dead. it's
cold rabbit-pie !'-Tit-Bits.

Recital is success.


Seldom has a Chickasha artist been
received as was Mrs. A. B. Morgan in
her dramatic recital at the college last
night, nothwithstanding the fact that
hall was plunged in darkness for an
hour during the recital. Her program
was extensive and varied and those
selections which she gave were excel
lently rendered and deserving of the
hearty applause they received. The
group of pianologues were charming
indeed and fully appreciated. "The
Little Rebel was omitted by Mrs
Morgan But in "The Lion and the
W ase, ifer closing number, rendered
partly by candle light, her splendid
character work covered her with glory.
Mrs. r. L. Lawrence of Anadarko,
vocalist, who assisted Mrs. Morgan
won a place in the hearts of her hear
ers. Her voice is clear, sweet and
full and she sang with 4 national ease
which appealed to all music lovers
present.
A piano solo by Prof. Richter was a
delightful number on the program and
appreciated as well as applauded.
On the whole the entertainment was
quite successful and Sans Souci made
a nice sum for its scholarship fund.

ROCKEFELLER'S CHARITABLE" FOUNDATION
ONLY DEVICE TO EVADE INCOME TAX!

=
that the income tax would become a
law at a special session Of congress.
The Rockefeller lobbyists were ac-
tive up to the last minute of the ses-
sion, but failed to get by the senate.
The attempt to secure a federal char
ter was then precipitately abandoned
and in absolute secrecy a charter was
rushed through the New York state
legislature on May IA, 1913, just in
time to evade the income tax law.
That Rockefeller regards the fOUn-
dation as one of his private interests
appears from his own testimony be-
fore the U. S. comm on industrial re-
lations:
Chairman Walsh-What connec-
ton, if any, did he ivy Lee, Rookie
felIer's press agent) assume with
what is known as the Rockefeller
Foundation?
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.-No con-
nection, no official connection or con-
nection as a director, but our office
staff is a sort of family affair. We
talk over all kinds of matters of pri-
Vate interest. We have not drawn
sharp lines between our business and
philanthropic interests.
This, I contend, shows that the
Rockefeller Foundation was created
for the direct purpose of evading the
income tax and that it is now regard
ed by Rockefeller as one of his pri-
vate interests, to be managed in di-
rect connection with his corporate
business.
ManIy's next article exposing the
fraudulent attempts to defeat the in
come tax law by the very rich will
appear in this newspaper Friday.

BY BASIL M. MANLY
Noted Economic Investigator
The Rockefeller Foundation, with
its enormous fund of more than
$1OO,OOO,OO0 of income-yielding Sc
curities, is paraded before the world
as "the greatest benefactiOn in his
tory"
Yet T charge that this great 'foun-
dalton" is only a device created for
the selfish purpose Of evading the in
come tax; that every penny Of its
S1OO,OOO,OOO endowment and its
S6,OOO,OOO income is under the absO-
lutte control of John D. Rockefeller;
that its activities are not limited to
educational, religious and chaTita-
BILE purposes" but on the contrary
thousands of dollars of its funds have
been expended for the direct benefit
of the Rockefeller interests.
Furthermore, l charge that the
Rockefeller Foundation has by its ac-
tivities in behalf of purely selfish in
terests transgressed the clause of
the income tax law under which it
has claimed immunity and now owes
the United States treasury in taxes
and penalties more than one million
doIars-a sum we need for our pre-
paredness" bills.
Every fact I will cite in this or fol-
lowing articles regarding this foun-
dation is based either on the testi-
mony of Rockefeller and the mem
bers of his personal staff before the
U. S. comm on industrial relations or
upon the annual report of the fOun-
dalton.
Every event in the history of Rock
efeIer's attempt to secure a charter
for the foundation comedies with a |
critical date in the enactment Of the |

cation for a federal charter was made |
