WASHINGTON-, April 28. Fol
lowing a prolonged conference with
Secretary of War Garrison, the
president late this afternoon order
ed thut six troops of the United
to the Colorado
aunied the aspect of mimic civil war.
After months of strife that have
been accompanied with violence and
disorder, after repented investiga
tions by committee's and attempts at
arbitration, the situation Is today as
far from any final and satisfactory
settlement as when It started. It
seems from the testimony that haB
been secured, that the burden of
responsibility can bo put on the
shoulders of the younger Rockefel
ler, despite lili declaration before
the House committee that he was
only representing his futher, John
D., Br., and that ho had a very small
voice In the affairs uud management
of the coal companies, so little in
fact that ho seldom attended a meek-
Ins; of the directors. loafer dlHclos
tires are to the effect thut John D.
8r.t In answer to a telegram from
President Wilson requesting bis per
sonal assistance in bringing about a
settlement, declares that he has
turned all his interests In Colorado
over to his son, John I).. Jr., whom
he would ask to co-operate with the
llouso commlttoe on mining. This
conference has resulted In the
younger Rockefollor stating that ho
la in no position to nrbitrate, and
there the matter rests. This young
man, the owner of vnst jioHsessiuns
and of grent financial power, 1b tho
leader of a Bible class reMrted to
have one thousand members, and ev
ery Sunday morning leudB In the ex
ercises. If one could get a report
of Ills words, no doubt they would
broatho penco and amity to all tho
world, they would tell of brotherly
love nnd the duty that man owes
to man. Mut does his uttltmlo out
side tho lllhle class room bear out
tho teachings he seeks to promul
gate and whose truths he enileavorH
to Impress on the minds of that
grout class? Mas he one code of
action for Sunday nnd another for
tho other six dnys of the week? We
liavo no fault to find with him lie-
cnuHB of IiIh religious work- and ac
tivity, but in common with many
others aHk that it he not a conven
ient cloak fur hypocricy, there Ih
no criticism of hliu because be is
in control of vast wealth, that Is
man's privilege to acquire or his
fort ll no lo Inherit, hut this fact of
of his having the prominence nnd
power make the examples hu should
Bet, and the religion ho tries to ex
pound of more than ordinary Im
portance. The known facts of his
apparent Indifference to human suf
fering and unndjuslnd rights Is
mora npt to make scoffers and cynics
In greater numbers than his ex
pounding the Scriptures at his lllhle
clara meetings can overcome.
