Momlny before tho congressional

"Yes, so fnr ns the Colorado Fuel

that John I). Rockefeller, Jr., is a
Mummy director'," said .Congress
man Foster of the investigating
committee, "and I think there' oufet
to be some sort of legislation against
that kind. Something is needed to
bring tho head men of a company

company nnd called attention to the
fact that, if so, he wns profiting- in
directly hy the liquor traffic among
other things.
Rockefeller, when testifying be
fore the committee yesterday, said
ho knew nothing of nny suloons on
tho company's property. "Yet,"
said Foster, "the testimony we took
in Colorado showed that the com
pany rented buildings in its mining
camps for saloou purposes.
"I don't believe tho company holds
a license in any instance, but evi
dence was that the saloonkeecr fig
ured the number of men in camp and
then paid a rental of 'JO cents per
man."
