MORE ABOUT ROCKEFELLER MISSION GIFT
Committee of Kw York Cona-rea-a-tlonal
Ministers Inane Statement
In Favor of Accepting
the Donation.
NEW YORK, March 81. II. H. Rogers,
vice president and director of tlio Standard
OU company, today made a statement as
to the conduct of the Standard Oil com
pany, which was evidently prompted by
the criticism of the Prudential committee
of the American Board of Foreign Missions
for accepting a gift of $100,000 from John
D. Rockefeller. Mr. Rogers said:
Ministers say queer things. Dr. Wash
ington Gladden says that everybody knows
that John I. Rockefeller has obtained his
money dishonestly. With as much reason
I could say that everybody knows thnt
Ir. Gladden would not trust the ten com
mandments for ten days with the deacons
of his church, because they would surely
break some of them and bend the rent.
Slavery In certain sections of the United
States was legal under lresldent Lincoln's
emancipation proclamation. Rebates on
railroads were just as legal until the pass
age of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion act. After un exhaustive examination
by the Industrial commission, authorized
by congress June IS. 1WIS, in a review of
evidence the commission reported as fol
lows: "It has been charged as a matter of gen
eral belief on the part of almost all the
opponents of the Standard Oil company
that these discriminations In various forms
have been continually received, even up to
date. On the other hand, these charges
have been donlert In toto and moat em
phatically bv evorv representative of the
Standard Oil company with references to
all cases, excepting one, which they claim
was a mistake, the amount of freight due
being promptly paid on discovery nf the
error. The Standard Oil company not
merely charged the opponents to bring
forth proof of anv case, but produced many
letters from leading officials nf railroads
to show that the company had In no cuse
received any favors or asked for them."
Ministers Favor Acceptance.
It became known today that prior to the
final action by the Prudential committee
of the American Board of Foreign Missions
itii accepting the $100,000 gift tendered by
John I. Rockefeller a number of promi
nent members of the board considered the
matter at length. As a result the parties
to the conference Issued a statement in
which they declared that they did not feet
that the acceptance of the gift would
compromise the board in any way.
Among those who signed the statement
were: Rev. J. W. Cooper, secretary of the
American Missionary association: Luclcn
C. Warner, chairman of the International
Young Men's Christian association; Rev.
C. II. Richards, secretary of the Interna
tional Congregational Church Building so
ciety: Rev. A. H. Bradford, formerly mod
erator of the National Congregational con
ference; Rev. Edward P. Ingersoll, secre
tary of the American Bible society; Wil
liam H. Ward, editor of the New York
Independent; Rev. J. J. Merrill, president
of Flsk university, Nashville, Tenn.; Rev.
Frank K. Sanders, dean of Yale Univer
sity Divinity nchool; Rev. Lyman Abbott,
Rev. Charles E. Jefferson; pastor of the
Broadway tabernacle, and Rev. Henry W.
Hubbell of Greenwich, Conn.
Test of the Statement.
The statement Issued as a result of the
meeting was as follows:
The prudential committee of the Amer
ican board has been requested to refuse u
certain gift for Its missionary work on the
ground that the giver Is the president of a
corporation whose business m&thods are
extensively criticised by the press and the
public. Compliance with this request would
put upon the board, which Is a corporate
trust created for the definite purpose of
maintaining missions In foreign lands, the
very grave reKUonslbility of refusing money
which has been given for the development
I cf the work intrusted to Its care or In aid
of particular ohJectsTor which it Ih trusted.
It would also establish t lie precedent of
subjecting individual gifts to a scrutiny not
heretofore regarded as practicable for a
mission . board to exercise. We do not
therefore consider that the acceptance of
this gift compromises the board in any
way, and we cannot recommend any de
parture from the long-established usage of
the board In receiving with thankfulness
funds intrusted to its care for the prose
cution of Its important work.
Protestants Have a Plan.
BOSTON, March 31. The committee which
heads the protest of Congregationalists
against tho action of the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions In
accepting a gift of $100,000 from John D.
Rockefeller, today Issued a statement in
viting all persons, whether clergymen or
laymen, who wished to record themselves
as In sympathy with the protest, to send
their names to the chairman of the com
mittee. Rev. Daniel Evans of Cambridge.
It was stated that many letters, Indicating
sympathy with the protest, were being re
ceived by different members of the com
mittee and that to facilitate clerical work
It was desired that they should all come
direct to a common center.
One of the members of the committee to
day said that the protestants had a plan to
send the prudential committee of the Amer
ican board in view of the difficulty appar
ently presented by the fact that the gift
already had been given and used In part
which would be offered "at the proper
time."
It Is understood that If the protesting
clergymen fall to bring about a return of
the money already used and a repudiation
of the gift they will aim to secure from
the American board such a declaration as
will prevent the possibility of the recur
rence of such a controversy as the present
one.

been retained to defend Irwin. In com

names, struck him twice in the face and
kicked him several times while down. Irwin
struck him several times with clenched
fists. His blows were delivered straight out.

feet down the hillside with Irwin on the
under side, when the spectators were sur
prised to learn Cairns was stabbed. The
Inquest is not finished.

' SCHUYLER, Neb., March 31. (Special.)
Interest in the Zuelow bridge bill has been
at high tension here during the past few
days and the plaudits heaped upon its in
troducer are not few. Mr. Zuelow, as have
his predecessors in the house during more
than a decade past, went to perform his
duties as the representative of Colfax
county with It uppermost in his mind that
he would urge the passage of a bill to
make bridges of over a oertain length items
of state care. Enthusiasm scarcely knew
bounds when action In the upper house was
made known, and now there's great anxiety
as to what Governor Mickey will do with
It. Mayor Arnold wired earnest solicitation
of himself and a large number of the citi
zens of Schuyler and vicinity not to veto
and received a personal letter from the
governor assuring him that the bill should
have such consideration as would conserve
the Interests of all concerned.
