WOODARD, CLARKE & CO. F.in m wmtm.. Mn E Frank Rockefeller, Oil King's Brother, Sues for $200,000. BOUGHT A SALTED CLAIM Overreached Himself In Deal Wltli Henry Gross, of St. Louis. Makes Effort to Get His Money Back. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17. Alleging that he was swindled out o $200,000 In a bogus 2lnc mine. Frank "Rockefeller, brother of John D. Rockefeller, and him self a shrewd man of millions, has turned his legal attention from Utlcy Wedge, of this city, his partner and al leged debtor to the extent of $15,000, and through his attorney, B. P. Finley, of Kansas City, who Is now in Philadelphia working on the case, has instituted a suit in Missouri against Henry Gross, of St. Louis, who, he claims, fraudulently turned over property in his hands. According to Mr. Rockefeller's state ment, the mine was purchased by him with Mr. Wedge as a partner in 1900 from the defunct St. Louis Mining Ex change, which was run by Henry Gross. The mine did not pay. Gross quarreled with the association, a receiver was ap pointed and the mine sold out. It was learned that Gross himself had pur chased it under another name. Then the mine began to prosper. Mr. Rockefeller heard of the discovery of rich veins, and after an examination found the report apparently true. A shaft had been sunk to a great depth. It was veneered apparently with a splendid coating ,of zinc and by a brilliant array of magnesium lights which Rockefeller alleges had been prepared to deceive prospective purchasers it shimmered and glistened like a crystal palace. When the mine failed Mr. Rockefeller sued Wedge for the amount of the note in the United States Circuit Court. A werdlct was returned for the defendant and a motion for a new trial later denied. Since then Mr. Rockefeller has dropped the Wedge indebtedness as a "dead is sue," but is determined to make some one suffer for his loss, and so has begun the present suit. PUBLIC OPINION REIGNING (Continued From Page 1.) wedding of Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory, except from some of the Indians, and Indians don't count: at least, they have never counted. 'To the union of Ari zona and New Mexico the opposition is so bitter that It is almost impossible to get the truth about it here in Washington. All that's certain is that somebody (not a re porter this time) is lying dreadfully, and that the big special Interests in those ter ritories are against the bill. This is enough for our present purpose. The op position had a majority of "our" House; enough of our representatives to beat the bill signed a paper promising to vote -no. ict a majority voted "yes," and the bill was passed. Thus "our" Presi dent beat the system again with the sys tem's own political organization in "our" House But look at the victory and see what it cost. ' How Was it won? The under standing here is that a. hint was dropped as from the Speaker to the effect that, if our representatives were "good" on the statehood and Philippine tariff bills, he might (there was no promise: the "under standing" had It only that the bow "might") "open a pork barrel." "What Is a "Pork Barrel"? What is a pork barrel? There are several kinds of pork, but all barrels contain this one Ingredient in com mon a big: appropriation of public money to be expended widely over the country. Bribery? Graft? No. A pork barrel isn't necessarily cither a bribe or a graft: it is only treated as a graft and it Just happens to operate like bribery. The pork barrel expect ed is a public building bllL Postof&ces and other Federal buildings are need ed in many places. The Speaker thlnku we can't afford the money at present, but "your" average Representative doesn't care about that, and neither does he care whether his dlBtrlct act ually needs a Federal building. And he says you don't care either. He says (many of them have talked this way to me) you haven't any more sense of our common interests than he has; not no much. He says that anything: he can get out of all of us for you, his particular constituents, will act upon you like a bribe. So that if he, by selling out his vote to the House com bine, can get a Federal building: for you in his district, you won't care how he votes on statehood or the Philip pine tariff; you will re-elect him to misrepresent himself and you In the hope that he will get something- more out of all of us for you. In other words you wanjt a Representative who "sets things done" for you. Is he right? If 'your" Congressman gets you a public building- this year, watch him preen himself over it when he returns home, and then notice the effect it has on you. That's the way to tell whether a pork barrel operates like political corruption. Case of "Legitimate Bribery." Whatever your answer. However, opening- pork barrels is a typlca.. method of the system. This Is whn. may be called "legitimate" bribery c Congressmen and perfectly proper cor ruption of us, the people. It is hu miliating, but it works. The system can be worked against the system It self, for, as we have seen, by its means we fot our bills through the House. The weakness of this whole policy of compromise is that while It may result in the enactment of certain laws for the common good, it will not makt our Government representative of thu common g-ood. Even If he Is success ful, the President, by playlpg with the machine, will have left the system standing- as much as ever for what It stands for now. And what does the Federal system stand for? Just how strong- Is it? Is it stronger than the U. S. Government? Has it superseded the representative democracy of the Constitution? That's what I should like to know. Railroads rule some states; I mean "rule" liter ally; the government of such states as Connecticut, New Hampshire. Penn sylvania, New Jersey. Ohio and others actually represents their railroads, other corrupting- businesses, too; but the railroads are the steadiest 6ourcek of corruption, and therefore the dom inant power In the system. Is that to "here?. The third part or the Presi dent's policy should bring: out the an swer to. this question, and all the oth ers, also, for his proposition to regu late railroad rates Is a challenge to the power of the railroads. How Hepburn Was Converted. But regulating rates is one thing, and passing "a" railroad rate bill is another. The President can get a rate bill through: "they" can't beat him with the whole country looking on and demanding, as "they" think, that Vsomethlng" must be done. A strong President with public opinion behind him may compel the system to i pass a Hepburn bill, but what's the use of getting a Hepburn law and leaving Hep burn in the House. The Hon. "Pete" Hepburn doesn't' believe in governmental rate regulation. He is a link in the Speaker-Boss' ring, and as chairman of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce he has received all the prayers of the Interstate Commerce Commission for more power since the failure of the old law became evident. And Mr. Hep burn did nothing, till once at a hearing. In his enthusiasm for the railroads, he so Ill-treated a shipper-witness that his peo ple out in Iowa burned "their" represen tative In effigy. This converted Mr. Hep burn. His committee reported a rate bill last session, and this session, when the present bill was drawn he insisted upon appearing as lis parent. Hp Isn't the father, he is only the godfather, and while the name of It hurts the measure by cast ing suspicion. It will help him to fool his people Into voting again for tho "au thor" of the famous Hepburn rate bllL 3fany "Hepburns" In the House. And this is characteristic of the House. That body seats many Hcpburns. His bill passed his House with only, seven votes against It, yet this man Industrious, able, and, I hear, honest is a type of our Rep resentative in Congress. The Hepburns do not represent us. They do not repre sent the people, they represent public opinion, and they represent public opinion only when we are aroused to anger Just the time when the placid Senate says a representative should have the courage to stand fast to save us from ourselves. Now I have not meant to imply that the Hepburn bill is inadequate: I hear that it Is. but whether it will solve the rate problem or not is another question. Tbe question I came here to ask Is: "Does our Government represent usT And let me repeat by "us" I mean all of us. but especially those of us who do not want to get anything out of our Government but a square deal and fairly efficient ser vice. And I say that the votes of the House upon the present bill do not answer the question before the House. If the system which is in the House had fought In the House; if the members had voted on the rate bill according to their own conditions, we should have been able to mark down those among- them who repre sent the system. But they didn't vote as the Speaker willed, and the Speaker willed as the President willed. So we shall have to seek in come other way to understand the makeup of the House. Will the Senate Fight? But there is another reason why the sys tem let our bills through the House. The system has a way, noticeably 'in many states as well as in Washington, of letting i;s Lower House pass "imperfect" bills, depending upon the Senate to "fix" them! Will thcSenate "fix" the Philippine tariff, the statehood and. the rate regulation bills? In other words, will the Senate fight? If the Senate will only stand firm to save us from ourselves; If the Sen ators will vote according to their convic tions and connections, that will give us a chance to find out easily what the Senate represents. But I understand the Senate also feels that it must bow to the Presi dent and public opinion, and that the.hope of the system is lo fool him and us. And maybe It can, for the Senate is very able as well as very beautiful, and "they" say we are very foolish and weak; that we get tired of fighting and that when we are weary we will take any thing. So their scheme Is to amend the rate bill with the President's approval and ours. LINCOLN STEFFENS. Left to 3Iercy of the Moors. MADRID, Feb. 17.

SEALING UP NEXT WillBe-Disoussed After New foundland Fisheries Case. DIPLOMATS AGREE ON PLAN ifore Satisfactory SetMement of An cient Controversy Desired by England Japan and Russia Interested. LONDON, Feb. 17. On the conclusion of diplomatic exchanges between Great Britain and America In the Newfound land fisheries case, it is probable negotia tions will be opened for a settlement of the Pacific sealing question. Some months ago the subject was brought up, but it was agreed to forego discussion until after the settlement of the fisheries question. "When the seals become the subject of negotiations, Japan will be one of the parties and Russia also will probably participate. Japan, it is understood, would look with favor on an International law preventing pelagic seallnr, as she, like America, has seal islands. As ever Canadian pelagic sealers will be the chief obstacle to a set tlement. It will again be suggested that America purchase the Canadian sealing schooners beside paying their owners compensation. Another proposal is that the Canadians should be given a share of the rookeries owned by America and Japan. In regard to Newfoundland Great Britain Is believed to have satisfied America as to the charge that the Gloucester fishermen were the victims of illegal acts. Any new treaty or new ar rangement will be made by Secretary Root and Ambassador Durand. Ml SHED MAGYAR BLOOD HUNGARIAN DIET WILL BE FOR CIBLY DISSOLVED,, DepatleN TarcafcK Reabitaace ts Arbi trary Actlev af Crew Klm AVII1 Order Xew Elect!. BUDA PEST, Hungary, Feb. 17. The possible consequences pf the dissolu tion of the Hungarian Parliament by the crown, which Is seC for next Mon day, serve to arouse certain feelings of fear both here and at Vienna for an act in the constitution drama which 'will then be played In the Hungarian capital . that may bring- violence ana bloodshed. If the members of Parllnfc racnl refuse to obey the royal rescrip? dissolving: the body, the only recourse left to the crown will be to clear tho 'House by force of arms. It Is not yet known In what manner the various parties composing the coajltlon will accept the dissolution. Some reports are to the effect that they will lodge a united protest against It and the component parties will be al lowed to act In this respect as It may be thought' best. A final meeting to decide what attitude the coalition will adopt will be held tomorrow- A basis for the possible refusal ot Deputies to dlsaolve. it Is said. Is the contention that the Kins-Emperor's act is unconstitutional, but upon this point thore Is much divergence of opinion, even among- the Hungarian opposition leaders. General Nylri, who was appointed the King's commissioner to read the rescript dissolving: Parliament, is the most Interesting: figure in the events scheduled for Monday. He represents the King: and haa been lodged In- the royal palace at Buda Pest. He Is a Hungarian by birth and Is the young est General In the army. General Nyiri was a member of the Chamber of Deputies until a few months ago and is familiar with the workings of that body. He was formerly Minister for National Defense in the Cabinet of Count Tisza. The members of the present Chamber of Deputies were elected a year ago, but, owing- to continued conflict be tween the crown and the parllamentary opposltlon since then, the Chamber has been practically without functions of any kind. The King- can call new elections within 90 days from the date of dissolving: Parliament and many be lieve that this will be done. The ob ject of the crown in calling- new elec tions will be to weaken or break the power of the present coalition, which has arraigned it for 12 months. These elections could now be held under the proposed broader suffrage rights for Hungary. The House of Magnates will be dis solved simultaneously with the Cham ber of Deputies. The commercial treaties with Aus tria. Russia, Germany, Italy and other countries must be ratified before March 1 and. there being- no parliament, this was done by the Hungarian Ministry. CREELMANS ARE ATTACKED Creditors Seize Properties of Chicago Bank-Looters. CHICAGO. Feb. 17. The first step in what is said to be a concerted attack of creditors against the Creelman properties In Chicago through the bankruptcy courts, precipitated by the crash of the Bank of America, was taken this afternoon, two petitions in involuntary bankruptcy In volving all the assets of Frank M. Creel man, son of F. E. Creelman, one of the alleged bank wreckers, were filed In the United States courts. An unsuccessful ef fort was made to suppress the petitions, which may result In a series of failures involving hundreds of thousands of dol lars. When the news of the new attack on the Creelman Interests was given out. it was telegraphed over the country to banks and lumber firms in which the Creelmans are interested, some of which are already in the hands of receivers. It was shortly after stated by attorneys representing Southern creditors that a score of peti tions In Involuntary bankruptcy would probably be filed against the younger Creelman early this week. Other developments of the day growing out of the bank crash were: A stormy meeting of the stockholders of the Bank of America, at which an unsuccessful at tempt was made to agree on criminal prosecution of President Abner Smith, Vice-President Sorrow and F. EL Creel man. , The admission by State Bank Examiner C C Jones that the condition of the looted bank was known tb him December 16. 14 days after that bank opened Its doors, and that the Stato Auditof was ap prised of the facts at that time. The discovery of many "dummy" notes by which the bank stocks were hypothe cated, and the actual cash of the bank de pleted. The production of a blanket mortgage on all property of ex-Judge Abner Smith to protect the loans aggregating J61.0CO. which President Smith made to himself soon after the bank opened Its doors. An offer from ex-Corporation Counsel Tolman of 50 cents on the dollar for the J70.COO bonds of the Louisiana Land & Lumber Company, which Is held by the bank as collateral for a loan of that amount made to F. E. Creelman. The declaration by Receiver Healy, re inforced by the stockholders, that the bank wa3 deliberately wrecked and that the prime movers In the conspiracy were Smith, Sorrow and Creelman.
