MORGAN ESANE,
TARUMIANZ SAYS
Defendant Identities MUIR
der Weapon, Unable To
Recall Other Details.

John C.. Morgan, alias Jack
Morgan, Wednesday In the Court of
Oyer and TermineF, where he is be-
ing tried for the murder on Satur-
/ day, December Is, Of Dominique ].
Pierre, near FELTON,, identified an au-
tomObile crank which he is said to
have used IN beating the farmer to
death. The automobile crank was
admitted as evidence as was a con-
fession said to have been signed by
Morgan. The confession told the
story Of the killing and Of how he
had buried Pierre's body under two
feet Of earth in a chicken house on
the farm.
Jury Shown Paper
The jury, selected in the first
hour of the trial Wednesday, was
shown a paper, purpOrting to be a
lease of the Pierre farm, with a rub
ber stamp of Pierre's signature.
Several other articles were shown
by the State, the property of Pierre,
some of which Morgan had retained
for himself and some of which he
had given away. Photographs we're
produced showing Pierre's home and
the distance from the house to the
chicken house where his body was
found.
Among witnesses called Wednes-
day was DR.. M. A. Tarumianz, of the
Delaware State Hospital, who testi-
fed that Morgan is mentally sound.
Clayton Sharpe, a neighbor, of
Pierre, with whom Morgan lived for
a time, testified to Morgan's actions
on the day of the, murder and his
activities for two days afterwards.
Unable no Recall Details
Morgan, placed on the stand,
while he identified the automobile
crank, was unable to recall other
details when questioned.
Pierre's murder was discovered
when friends from Philadelphia
whom he had invited to visit him.
arrived at the farm and found him
missing. They said Morgan had told
them Pierre had returned to Wis
consiI after selling him the farm.
Inquiry at Clayton aroused the sus-
picions Of his friends and resulted

MATERNITY WARD
WILL BE LARGER
in new HOSPITAL
Has Always Been An Inn
pOrtant Part Of The
Hospital.
SAFER THAN HOME
A Baby Born In A HOspi-
tai Has Better Chance
For Life.

The Milford Emergency Hospital
always has been a baby" hospital
that Is, numerous Mothers. since
its founding, have gone there to
have their babies and the maternity
ward always has been an important
part Of the hospital. In fact so pOpu-
lar has 1t become that it is prOpOs-
ed to devote much greater space to
maternity work in the new hospital
than has been possible heretofore.
In a booklet, issued eleven years
ago, the hospital authorities made
these statements: "A baby born in
the Milford Emergency Hospital is
brought into the world under the
best medical attention and trained
nursing, both Of which are highly
important in giving a vigorous,
sound body. Such care cannot be Sc
cured in a home, even of the veal
thiest.
Maternity in the hospital means
that mother and baby are assured Of
all the benefts, safeguards and COM
forts that modern science can pro-
vide.
"And IN addition to all these adj
vantages, the surprising thing is
that it actually is cheaper for baby
to be born in the Milford Emergen-
ey Hospital than in the home.
This hospital has kent the faith
during all these years and its as
sertions in regard to baby and mo-
ther have been proved BY the con-'
stantly-increasing number Of con-
finement cases in the hospital since
it opened It's doors
Is It any wonder then that, n the
new hospital. the plan IS % provide
the best and most al eciials islir-
roundings for maternity work ? For
with the passing Of years the NUM-
ber of babies win continue to in
crease.
This increase is even now appar-
ent. In the year 1884, seyenty-One
babies were worn In the hospital
and the records show that all these
babies and all their mothers are
now alive and thriving. If the first !
two months Of 1885 prove to be an !
average for the year; 100 babies will !
be born in the hospital during the
present year.
Do not these facts amply prove !
the assertions of the doctors and
made eleven years ago,
that the baby born in a hospital has /
a much better chance In life than !
one born in the home?

Eradication Of Bangs Disease In

A bill introduced into the State

infected at the time of slaughter.
Two cases of undulant fever re-
ported in the State during the past

thought that the disease was pres

confused with other diseases such as
typhoid or malaria. At present
there are from six to twelve cases

bulbs and there was no further
necessity of making them by hand.

the manufacture of light bulbs and
instead closed Is.

WASHINGTON Aug 15.-John
d. Rockefeller Jr mas disposed of
One-fourth of his known $3.50, 900 900
holdings in oil companies of the
Standard Oil group within the last
eight months. it was revealed today
in reports 10 the Securities and Ex-
change Commission.
Mr.. Rockefeller's holdings in
three kew Standard Oil companies
were depleted in that time by ST.
Ol9. 500 at current market rates,
largely through gifts to charitable
and scientific organizations. His
largest gift-2. 100000 shares of stock
in the Socony Vacuum Oil Co.-was
made June %. nine days after Pres
ident Roosevelt asked Congress for
higher taxes on estates and gifts.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission requires reports on in
diyidusl securities holdings that
amount to 10 per cent or more of
the stock of given company.
Charity, Science Recipients
Mr.. Rockefeller holds-or held,
before his most recent gifts-10 per
cent or more of the stock of Socony-
Vacuum. Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey and Standard Oil of California.
The Rockefeller wealth has been
variously estimated at from $780,
100000 to .3OO,O0OOOO 1t is
known to comprise big blocks Of
stock in many oil companies and
much valuable New York real es-
tate. For years Mr.. Rockefeller,
who is 81. has been pumping the
family wealth into various educs-
tional and scientific institutions and
endOwments.
Most of the S77.O19 500 in Stand
ard Oil shares disposed of by the
oil multimilliOnaire went TO char
liable and scientific organization
A few individuals were recipients
of part of this wealth. Some of
the stock was sold in the open mar
ket by Rockefeller interests.
Tries to Hide Beneficiaries
Mr. Rockefeller sought to keep the
identities of the beneficiaries of mis-
generosity secret by labelling MS
disposal of stock with such terms
as transferred. disposed Of" gifts
to educational and scientific corpo-
rations," and gifts for individuals
and charitable organizations"
Treasury officials estimated that
Mr.. Rockefeller would have had to
pay 32.977 $50 in gift taxes on his
newest gifts at present rates. if it
had been made in one gift. Under
the new tax bill gift of this size
would result in taxes Of $4,000, 400
If MT. Rockefeller held the stock
until after death the Federal gov
eminent would take in proposed in
heritance taxes total of s55,-
