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

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.

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.

SOLDIERS ARE POORLY PI

Other Nations More Liberal to Men
With Guns Congress Asked
to Increase Allowance.
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

lowed their soldiers, and the data Is
being gotten together to make up a strong
case to demonstrate to Congress that the
real reason for the numerous desertions
from the American Army is not dissatis
faction with the hard work, or dislike for
some particular officer, nor even the lack
of a simple and well regulated canteen,
but the small wage paid to the soldier
compared with the compensation in civil
life.
And in this connection it will be shown
in the presentation of the subject to Con

men were probably not much more than
a third of the present scale.

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."
