1HE aiOKNlHl OKJ5CiO"IAN. MONDAY, JULY 29, 1907. GOOD MR. ROCKEFELLER Oij King Tells Sunday-School Pupils the Great Secret of Success. GET AWAY FROM GAY LIFE For 54 Years the Master of Forest Hill Hai Been a. Sunday-School Attendant He Talks In a Happy Vein. CLEVELAND, July 2S (Special.) 'The great secret of success, true suc cess, is to get away from the butterfly pursuits of life and devote yourself to doing good to those around you." In these words John D. Rockefeller this morning gave advice to the members of the Sunday school of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church. The richest man in the world was seem ingly at his best. It was his first address to the Sunday school In nearly a year, altnough he attended church the last three Sundays, and his friends say It was the best talk he ever made. Mr. Rockefeller briefly reviewed his ex periences In the Sunday school. In Sunday School 54 Years. "How long ilo you think it has been since I Joined Sunday school," the oil king asued a little boy In the back seat. "Fifty-three years-" responded the lad, evidently well informed as to his ques tioner's life. "It will be 54 years next September lnce I came Into the Sunday school," aid Mr. Rockefeller. "I was 14 years of age. and I consider that event the most Important In my life." Then returning to the benefits derived from Sunday 6chool work, the speaker dwelt briefly upon happiness and success, declaring "the only way to be perfectly happy Is to do good to others. The great secret of success is to get away from the butterfly pursuits of life and devote your aelf to doing good to those around you." First Teacher a Scotchman. Airain taking up his connection with religious duties, he said: "Deacon Skedd was my first teacher in the Sunday school. Of course none of you present remember him. He was a good old Scotchman: honest and whole-souled as most Scotchmen. I have great love for that race. "I met Dr. Ingersoll the othes day while playing golf. He Is still as spry as I am, but of course, he Is 80 years old. while I am still a young man," and the master of Forest-Hill smiled. "Well, I have been talking by New York time," he continued, "so that I really have used more than my share of your time." MARK FOR THE BIG STICK Congressman Mondell Slay Coveted Chairmanship. Lose OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 24. Opposition to Presi dent Roosevelt's public land policy is apt to cost Representative Mondell, of Wyoming, the chairmanship of the House committee on public lands. Representative Lacey, of Iowa, who has been chairman of this important committee for the past 10 years, was not re-elected to the next Congress, and Mr. Mondell le In direct line for promotion and under ordinary circum stances would be given the vacancy. The appointment of committee chair men is entirely In the hands of the Speaker, and It might well transpire that Mr. Mondell would succeed Mr. Lacey but for his well-known and per aistent opposition to the President. The chairmanship of the public lands committee will be of double Importance next session, for it Is the Intention of the administration to concentrate its efforts to bring about legislation re form, ng the land laws so as to make them applicable to present-day con ditions, and to cut oft the oppor tunities for fraud, which are afforded by obsolete laws. No man in Congress will have greater Influence on such legislation than the chairman of the public lands committee. For that rea son It is essential that he should be In harmony with the President and be ready to serve the Interests of the pub lic rather than the Interests of fa vored classes. Champion of Land Barons. Mr. Mondell is the most cantankerous opponent of land law reform In Con gress. He views the public land eit uatlon from the Wyoming standpoint. He would use Wyoming timber as a basis of valuation of the forests of Oregon and Washington: because Wyoming Is a state of cattle barons, he would leave the public range at the disposal of these mighty Interests and shut out the Individual stock owner who was unable to cope with his wealthy competitors; because his friends have grown rich at Government expense under the land laws as they operate In Wyoming, Mr. Mondell would not consent, to any change, so long as his friends in Wyoming wanted to make other raids on the public domain. The only change he would make In the land laws would be to re peal the act permitting the creation of forest reserves, and he would" throw open to entry every acre now embraced in a National forest. Mr. Mondell was conspicuous at the publlo land convention recently held at Denver. Whenever the name of Roosevelt as mentioned. It was enthusiastically cheered by every one except Mr. Mondell and the small coterie of Wyoming men with him. Whenever a suggestion of any administration officer was hissed or booted, the hissing or hooting was done by Mr. Mondell and his crowd. Mr. Mondell Is "agin" the President, no matter what phase of the public land question is Involved, and will fight him to the last ditch. Incidentally, he Is practically the only Western man In the House of Representatives who takes de cided Issue with the President on this question. No Favorite of Cannon's. It la true the President does not select chairmen of Congressional committees, but at a time when the administration s going to put forth every effort to lecure remedial land legislation it is natural to suppose that Speaker Cannon wi!l consult the President and, if the President expresses . objection to Mr. Mondell, it is quite likely that the Speaker will heed that objection. Un (ortunlately for Mr. Mondell, he is not particularly . persona grata with the speaker, for on several occasions he went out of his way to Join the Insurgent band on issues in which Wyoming had not the slightest interest. He thereby incurred the displeasure of the Speaker, and "Uncle Joe" Cannon la not a man Who forgets. Mr. Mondell is now chairman of the committee on Irrigation and. while that committee does not rank In importance with public lands, the fact that he holds that chairmanship can be offered as an excuse for not giving him the chairman ship of public lands. As chairman of ir rigation Mr. Mondell can do no damage, for Congress Is not Inclined to tamper with the National Irrigation law at least .not until it has been given a full, fair trial, and its weaknesses developed. As chairman of the public lands committee, however, he could do a world of damage; he might even be able to block the pro gramme which the administration, wishes to see carried through. His appointment would be most dangerous, and that to gether with his open hostility to the ad ministration Is more than likely to cause the appointment of some other man. BELIEVES JAPAN HOSTILE CONGRESSMAN1 W. L. JONES AFRAID OF LOWER CLASSES Thinks Coolie Labor Should Be Ex cluded, but Fears This Act Would Bring About Rupture. SEATTLE. Wash., July .-(Special.) In an Interview here today. Congressman W. L. Jones said: "While I do not believe there is dan ger of war between Japan and the Uni ted States, the sentiment In Japan against this country Is stronger than the officials of either government care to admit. From my observations in Hawaii and such in formation as I have been able to gather from other sources, I believe the great mass of the common people of Japan are very hostile toward the United States. Officials of the Japanese government are not in accord with this sentiment, which means, of course, that the only way a war could be brought about is for the sentiment of the people of Japan to force the government to act against Its better judgement.' "One thing Is certain. It is necessary for the United States Government to take steps to exclude coolie labor, ami It may be this will prove the breaking point. We have good times now, and labor is scarce, but conditions win not always remain as they are at present. Sooner or later we are bound to have a depression, and when that time comes we will find that we already have too much ignorant alien labor in this coun try. If we have hard times again, even If it Is only for a short period, the more ignorant coolies we have the harder it will be for American labor. I believe it is absolutely necessary to exclude Jap anese coolie labor, and it is doubtful if Japan will allow this action to be taken without, a strong protest. I am strongly of the opinion that Japan will not stand idly by and allow its subjects to be placed on the same footing as the Chlnese.y COMMENCEMENT AT CHEMAWA Fourteen Members of Graduating Class From Various Tribes.

MORBID CROWD AT JAIL s Throngs Wait In Vain to Get a Glimpse of the Magllls. CLINTON, 111., July 28. Hundreds of curious people visited the County Jail to day hoping to see, Fred Maglll and his second wife. Mrs. "Fay Graham Maglll. who were brought back from .California early today to answer to the charge of having caused the death of Magill's first wife, Mrs. Pet Maude Maglll, but they were disappointed. No one was permitted to see the prisoners except their attorneys and the parents of Mrs. Fay Graham Maglll. For a short time, Maglll and his wife were taken to the residence of Sheriff Campbell, and there met Mr. and Mrs. Graham. The meeting was very affect ing. Mrs. Graham threw her arms about her daughter, crying, "My poor little girl; my poor little girl," and the two embraced and sobbed loudly. After a time, Maglll and his wife were taken back to their cells. Lawyers spent most of the day with Maglll, but declined tonight to make any statement. The grand jury will convene tomorrow morn ing to consider the case. MEXICO CONDUCTS RACES Government to Take Hold to Raise Standard of Sport. MEXICO CITY. July 28.

GREAT CITY IN TERROR QF THUGS Women and Children Fall Vic tims in Appalling Numbers. POLICE ARE POWERLESS Organization of Vigilance Commit, tees Is Openly Advocated and Even Lynch Law Suggested. Criminals Are Aliens. NEW YORK. July 28.-(Special.) Such a wave of crime has swept over New York recently that the people hre appalled and the police are powerless. Public alarm has been aroused, particularly by the great number of attacks on women and little girls. Robbery is one of the mildest of these crimes. They Include murder and fiendish assaults that are nameless. Police Commissioner Bingham confesses that the police are unable to cope with the situation. He attributes most of the crimes against women and girls to vicious foreigners, who l)ave been brought to America in the flood of immigration. He blames the magistrates for being- too lenient in their judgements of brutes brought into court, and insists he has too few policemen to afford the pe6ple proper protection. May Lead to Lynch Law. The citizens are clamoring through newspapers against this state of affairs and several of the fiends recently cap tured narrowly escaped lynching. Staid men and gentlewomen urged the organi zation of vigilance committees, and the horrors which havo been made public re cently may easily lead to a reign of lynch law. Even so mild a person as Rev. Phebe A. Hanaford, a minister of the Gospel and a woman of Quaker descent, has written to the newspapers advising the organization of vigilantes to deal with the criminals. The records at police headquarters show that since the murder of 15-year-old Ame lia Staffel, at Elmhurst, L. I.. May 22, there have been 120 attacks upon women and children in New York City. A wave of this sort of crime seems to be grow ing, and there are daily additions to the list of victims. Six such cases were add ed to the list yesterday. Children who usually play until late In the evening in the streets during hot weather .are be ing called fh earlier, and in a few locali ties they are afraid to play at any time without guardians, ' although the house wives of the poor can ill afford the time from their duties to watch them. Children Closely AVatched. Commissioner Bingham said today that during the epidemic of this sort of crime it would be well for mothers of the city to keep their children indoors as much as possible and to keep watch over them more closely than ever. Every member of the police force has been ordered to be particularly on the alert, especially where young girls and children congregate, and where they can be reached by men of suspicious appear ance. The police have been instructed to place under arrest at once any man whom they have the slightest cause to suspect. FOR PUBLIC AID, HOT CI CITY OWNERSHIP HAS LIMITS, SAYS COMMISSION Advises That Only Those Which Affect Health and Public Safety Be Operated by the People. NEW YORK, July 28. The final report of the conclusions of the committee on in vestigation of the National Clvie Federa tion Commission on public ownership and operation was given to the publlo today. The report says: "It is difficult to give positive answers of universal application to the Questions arising as to the success or failure of municipal ownership as compared with private ownership. The local conditions affecting particular plants are in many cases so peculiar as to make a satisfac tory comparison impossible, and it Is very difficult to estimate the allowance that should be made for these local conditions. "Further, the difficulty of reaching at isfacory results by the comparative method is not confined to special or local conditions. Finally, not only must it be borne In mind that the Boclal and politi cal conditions which characterize the two countries find expression In their private and public systems, hut we must consider the difference in the nature of the two peoples which causes them to adopt dif ferent ideas and views as to the expedi ency of certain things. In other words, a measure of success in the municipal man agement of public utilities In England should not be regarded as necessarily Indi cating that the municipal management of the same utilities In this country would be followed by a like measure of success. Conditions are quite different in the two countries. ' "There are some general principles which we wish to present as practical ly the unanimous sentiment of our committee. 'f irst, we wish to emphasize the fact that the public utilities studies are so constituted that it is impos sible for them to be regulated by competition. Therefore, they must be controlled and regulated by the Gov ernment; or they must be left to do as they please; or they must be operated by the public. "There are no particular reasons why the financial results from private or public operation should be different if the conditions are the same. In each cms it is a question of the proper man in charge of the business and of local conditions. "We are of the opinion that a public utility which concerns the health of the citizens should not be left to in dividuals, where the temptation of profit might produce disastrous re sults. "We have come to the conclusion that municipal ownership of publlo utilities should not be extended to revenue-producing industries which do not Involve the public health, the pub lic safety, public transportation, or the permanent occupation of public streets or grounds, and that municipal opeia- tion should not be undertaken solely for profit. "We are also of the opinion that all future grants to private companies for the construction and operation- of pub lic utilities should be terrnlnabl-s after a certain fixed period, and that mean while ctii-s should "nave the right to I urchasu th"; propoity for operation, in.- or f-a'.f. paying lis In'-; value. "To carry out all these recommenda tions effectively, and to protect the rights of the people, we recommend that the various states should give to their muni cipalities the authority, upon popular vote under reasonable regulations, to build and operate public utilities, or to build and lease the same, or to take over works already constructed. In no other way can the people be put upon a fair trading basis and obtain from the in dividual companies such . rights as they ought to have. We believe that this pro vision will tend to make it the enlight ened self-interest of the public utility companies to furnish adequate service upon fair terms, and to mis extent will tend to render it unnecessary for the public to take over the existing utilities or to acquire new ones." LAYING BARE ATROCITIES MAJOR LEMAIR PUBLISHES RE PORTS OF BRUTALITIES. Is Bitter Against Leopold and His Soldiers Because of Treat ment of Natives. BRUSSELS, July 28. iMajor Lemalr Is continuing the publication of his recol lections of the Congo Independent State. The Major served 18 years In the Congo in command of native troops. Upon his return to Belgium he was notified that he would be prosecuted for cruelty to ward the men under him, and he retal llated by beginning the publication of a sensational exposure of the revolting conditions prevailing in the native army. Aside from painting a black picture of the conditions in the Congo, the memoirs of the Major reveal that the scientific expedition led by him. into the Bairel Ghaza region, on the northern frontier. In 1904, was an expedition for conquest In disguise. The Major declares that King Leopold gave him personal In structions to vanquish the Anglo-Egyptian forces coming down from Soudan at any cost. "I cannot be held account able for these acts." the Major writes. "I am only responsible for the complete execution of the Instructions." A perusal of M. Lemalr's recital car ries the conviction that he Is devoted to the cause of the blacks and deter mined to put an end to the eximlnar airocltlos and disgraceful administra tion. During his IS years' service he crossed Africa twice without firing a cartridge at a native. When, as a young man. Major Lemalr began his work in the Congo, "amid the rattle of musketry, the banging of cannon and the burning of villages," he says, he was taught that this course was the only one to bring the natives to their senses. Continuing, the Major relates his repeated and vain attempts ti have the soldiers under him punished for their Ill-treatment of natives. "I have seen them," he writes, "kick the poor rubber and ivory bearers until they fell from exhaustion and then torture the unfortunates amid howls of laughter. I repeatedly reported cases of robbery, murder and outrage, but these reports were unheeded." The Major says he once received a let ter from the Governor-General of the Congo advising him that his services were greatly appreciated, but 'saying his reports were full of criticisms, and could not be transmitted to Brussels, where only the rosy- side -of things was desired. Later the Major tried to see King Leo pold, but he was always prevented by intermediaries. "Finding these reports useless," the Major goes on, "I became pitiless toward the soldier brigands in my determination to enforce respect for the natives, and I challenge the admin istration to produce one single native complaint against me." Some of the depositions made by women who were being conducted to the vari ous posts as workers are most pitiful. They swore they had been stolen by the soldiers during raids, maltreated at the hands of the men. and then either sold to chiefs or made to work like slaves. Some had seen their parents and chil dren killed before their eyes.and others had been subjected to unmentionable in dignities. CHINA FAMINE TERRIBLE In Some Instances Cannibalism Wag Practiced. NEW YORK, July 28. Pitiful tales of the famine in China, where 15,000,000 natives in the hunger-stricken prov inces along the Yangtse-Klang River have undergone the ravages of slow starvation, until death or the relief expeditions delivered them from their sufferings, are told in letters which have Just been received at the Presby terian Board of Foreign Missionaries here from W. H. Gleysteen, who headed a relief expedition from Pekin. Mr. Gleysteen epent some time in the fam ine sone, where he says thousands of Chinese refugees exist for months on the barks of trees and weeds. There are reports where the Chinese prac ticed cannibalism. Food and funds recently hurried into China from Europe and America, have aided won derfully in helping the distressed. Describing the scene as he viewed them from a launch on the grand canal, Mr. Gleysteen states that at points along the canal scores of women and children surrounded the boat and begged for food. Others held up their skeleton babes and laid bare their shriveled breasts as evidence of their great need. Army and Navy as Schools. H. S. Pritchett in Atlantic Monthly. No man who will look carefully into the work of the Army or of the Navy can fall to realize that a career in either branch of our military aervtce is one to which any man may give himself with the fullest devotion and with the highest Ideals. Americans, as a rule, know little about the actual work of either of these services, and few realise that when a man enters the service of the Army or of the Navy, whether as officer or as en listed man, he enters a great school,, a school in which Is taught not only the discipline of self-restraint, of cleanliness, of devotion to duty, but in which are taught also the elements of an education. An enlisted man who enters a regiment of the Army, barely able to read and write, comes out, if he be a man of ambi tion and industry, at the end of three years, in possession of the fundamentals of an English education. His officer stands to him not only in the relation of military director, but in the relation also of a teacher and of a friend. There is no career open to an American boy, unless It be that of a teacher, which offers a larger opportunity than that of the Army or Navy officer to minister to the service of men.

WASHINGTON. July 28. It has been assursd that Uncle Sam's soldiers were by far the best paid In the world, and that belief has in large part been the cause of the failure of attempts made in the past to secure increases in pay for United States soldiers. But now, in con nection with the systematic preparations that are being made to lay the subject of "Something wrong with the Army." before Congress at the next session, it has been discovered that this belief Is founded in error and that several nations are much more liberal in treatment of their soldiers than is the United States. This fact will be brought to the at tention of Congress in connection with the subject of a general Increase of sal aries of both Army and Navy. Copies of rtfcruitlng pamphlets circulated freely in Canada make a strong showing on this point. A Canadian sergeant, for instance, enters upon his service with a wage of Jl per day. which increases according to the provisions of the longevity law to J1.2S. The American sergeants get $18 at first and his expenses are larger than the Canadian non-commlssloned officer, be cause of the considerable differences In the scale of living and the lower tariff rates upon the necessities of life In Canada. The same difference of. wage runs through all of the grades of the two armies. Even Cuba pays her soldiers three times as much as the American private. Th Cuban rural guard gets the pay of a New York policeman. Other countries than these two exceed America in the pay al WASHINGTON STREET PATTERNS, READY TO SEW. SEE THE WINDOW.

And in this connection it will be shown in the presentation of the subject to Con gress that the present scale was fixed by law more than 50 years ago. (there has been only one since that and then of $1 per month) when the wages of civilian work men were probably not much more than a third of the present scale. Inattentive Preachers Give Ear. Kansas City Stir. Dr. W. H.p- Black, president of the Valley College, Marshall, Mo., was ad dressing the graduates of Western Theological Seminary in Pittsburg and found them inattentive. They sat up and took notice, however, when he said: "Preachers are like potatoes, peaches and pumpkins. The potato kind like to lie hidden and do their good deeds quietly. The peachy kind are always rosy and pretty, while the pumpkin sort are round and pompous, so hollow sometimes that their seeds rattle. It is through such as you that the world is to be saved. Don't be of the kind whose aim Is to make lots of noise, but accomplish no more than a pumpkin full of seeds rolling in a hammock." Disastrous Fine In Louisiana. RUSTON, La., July 28.
