Article Condemning Itereat
Criticisms.
NEW YORK. My 31 The recent crit
icisms of John D. Rockefeller, growing out
of his gift of nno.OfiO to the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions are
declared in an article by Rev. Dr. Robert
Stuart McArthur. pastor of the Calvary
Baptist church of this city, to be pub
lished tomorrow In the Examiner, a Bap
tist publication, to be a coarse, cruel, and
perhaps criminal, and to have malipned
the entire Baptist denomination. He "pro
tests atralnst the condemnation of churches
by these cowardly and unjust attacks,"
declares that no one knows better than
Rockefeller that he cannot buy the ap
proval of Baptists by his millions; that
Baptists would advocate his expulsion
from the church If It were proved that he
had acquired his money dishonestly or by
meana morally or socially destructive. He
adds that he has Investigated certain busi
ness transactions which have been fiercely
denounced by Mr. Rockefeller's critics and
has found them In accordance with the
highest standards of commercial morality.

confidence, admiration and affection, and
appeals for fairness of judgment for him.
Dr. MacArthur's article Is entitled "Tha
Baptist Brotherhood Defended," and Is In
part as follows:
The recent coarse, cruel, and ne-rhans
criminal, criticisms of Mr. John D. Rocke
feller have mallrned the entire Rantlst
denomination. His traducers are its de
famors. Baptist pastors ought no longer
to remain silent when their denomination
is made the subject of such unjust criti
cism, as a member or the Baptist broth
erhood, 1 protest against the condemnation
of our churches by these cowardly and ut
terly unjust attains. I amnn that the
censures inflicted upon the denomination
and upon Mr. Rockefeller aa a prominent
mernoeT of a Baptist church are unjust. I
nave Known Mr. Kockefeller for many
years, and my intimate personal acquaint
ance with him convinces me that h Is
worthy of the highest honor as a man and
of the fulest confidence, esteem and affec
tion as a Christian. I have taken pains to
make careful Inquiry regarding certain
business transactions which have Vn the
subject of fierce denunciation on Ivy part
of some of his critics and I do - tK hesi
tate to declare, on the basis of su-know!
edsre, that these transactions, when fully
understood ana rainy Judged, are In ac
cordance with the highest standards of
commercial morality. My examination has
shown me that many charges are based
upon nai rtrutns. and that when the full
truth was ascertained these very transac
tions redounded to Mr. Rockefeller's honor
as a leader In business and as a professor
of the Christian faith.
In so enormous a business as that of the
Standard Oil company It Is Inevitable that
agents of the company perform acts with.
out Mr. Rockefeller s knowledge and with
out his approval. A high officer of the
Standard Oil company. Intimately ac-
aualnted for nearly a generation with Mr.
Rockefeller's influence In Its counsels. In
formed me recently that Mr. Rockefeller
bad always been quick to deplore and to
correct Instances of unjust and Injurious
over-real.
Dr. Gladden, In one of his defamatory ar
ticles, quotes the deunnciatlon of an Ohio
judge of a railroad officer for making a
certain contract with an agent of the
Standard. But Dr. Gladden forgets to
state that this was nearly a generation
rn.no: that the Standard was never a party
to the suit and what is most of all to the
point that this very contract was ordered
cancelled as soon as it waa Drougni to jur,
Rockefeller s sttentlon and before any com
plaint waa uttered about It. Or. take the
case of the Cleveland widow, now become
celebrated. Anyone who will take enough
pains to read the affidavits printed and ac
cessible, but Ignored and suppressed by the
hostile critics, cannot fall to see In Mr.
Rockefeller's conduct the generosity, the
courtesy, the magnanimity and the for
hearance of a Christian Kentleman.
"It has been affirmed by some of Mr
Rockefeller's critics that by hie gifts to
the Baptist denomination he ha purchased
Its approval, or at least its silence. To
say that such a bodv of Christians could be
bought by Mr. Rockefeller's money is to
excite the derisive laughter and to evoke
the righteous Indignation of every Intelli
gent Baptist. .
No one knows better than Mr. Rock
roller himself that he cannot buy the ap
proval of Baptists by his millions. There
are Baptist leaders of today who would
not hesitate for a moment to advocate the
expulsion of Mr. Rockefeller from the
Ttantln denomination If It were proved
that he acquired his monev dishonestly or
by means morally or sociany ormrurnvo.
Th puantiflt lpcirierK are becoming thor
oughly Indignant St the malevolent spirit
and contemptible methods of Mr. Bock
efeller's opponents.
Rev. Dr. MacArthur declares that the
critics of Mr. Rockefeller appeal to the
passions of the unthinking multitude and
that this is assassination of character. He
repels indignantly" the charge that the
Baptist denomination has solicited money
from a man whose weaitn nas wen ais-
honestly acquired; points out that Dr. Wil
liam J. Tucker, presidest of Dartmouth
college, should not be branded as a crim
inal because Dartmouth college owned
stock in the Northern Securities company,
which company the courts found to be a
criminal' conspiracy: says that the sup
position that Mr. Rockefeller is worth
billion dollars Is grossly false and that In
the last two or three years his benevolent
gifts were at least twice aa much aa the
Increase In his estate; asserts that he has
made a gift of high value to humanity In
revolutionizing business methods, and af
firms that while some men nave been
crowded to the wall In the meivements of
the Standard Oil company, every com
petitor was urged to join It on fair and
equal terms.

by the increase In the number of eighth
grade pupils who successfully passed the
examination to the high school. The pro
gram for this evening's exercises were
given to the printer late Wednesday after
noon, the delay being caused by the large
number of examination papers to look over
and the selection of the names of those
who attained a successful average. Tickets
have been issued for the closing exercises
tonight and without a doubt every seat in
the auditorium will be occupied.
Council Meeting; Tonight.
When the city council meets tonight It Is
possible lhat some action may be taken In
regard to the city hall bond sale. J.
Hayes & Sons of Cleveland have returned
the contract with the city after signing It.
This signing of the contract hlns these
bankers to paj for the J70.000 bonds withlh
twenty days from the date of the contract.
The twenty days will expire on June 11
From the signing of the, contract It Is in
ferred that the bonds have met with the
approval of these bankers' attorneys and
that just as soon as the blank bonds are
lithographed and signed by the mayor and
clerk and sealed with the city seal the
money will be placed to the credit of the
city at the Packers- National bank.
The usual routine business will be trans
acted and the May bills and salary roll will
be allowed. The Twenty-ninth street va
cating ordinance will come up for third
reading and final passage. It Is expected
that this ordinance aa amended will go
through without any further objection. Pre
liminary surveys have been made of the
ground to be occupied by the Peters feed
mill and the expectation is that just as
soon as the vacating ordinance becomes a
law work on the tracks and mill will commence.
One of the claims to be considered will be
the bill of Attorney A. H. Murdock for as
sisting In the case in the district court
when the city hall injunction case was
called for trial. By order of the council
Mr. Murdock was employed to assist the
city attorney In this case.
Appraisers Meet Jane IV. .
A notice Is being published to the effect
that appraisers will meet on June I at 2
p. m. to appraise the damages, if any.
caused by the grading of Sixteenth street
from Missouri avenue to I street. All
owners of property Interested have been
notified of this meeting of appraisers and
are Invited to meet with the appraisers on
the date mentioned. This Is the first case of
the kind under the new law which compels
the serving of notice of a meeting of ap
praisers. Heretofore appraisers were s p
polnted by the mayor and confirmed by the
council and met when convenient and
handed in a report to the city clerk.
Want Grade Changed.
Property owners on J.street east of Twen
ty-third street ars again clamoring for a
change of grade. It Is asserted now that
the present grade Is not satisfactory, for
the reason that storm water rushing down
the hill cuts deep gutters on each side of
the street. The property owners do not
want to go to the expense of paving the
street, but they want some kind of relief
from the Inroads made In the street by
storm water. A petition Is to be circulated
and presented to the council asking that the
grade be changed so that the street may
not be washed away entirely, or relief given
by the laying of permanent gutters.
Mrs. By an Laid to Rest.
The funeral of Mrs. J. J. Ryan was held
at Bt. Mary's church Wednesday forenoon.
Every seat In the church was occupied and
all those who attended were not able to
gain admittance to the edifice. Rev. C.
Mugan conducted the services and delivered
an eloquent sermon. The casket and church
were profusely decorated with flow era Fol
lowing the services at the church the re

the laiger and more important railroads of
the state have now made their report to
the executive council, with the exception
of the Chicago Great Western. Without ex
ception the more important lines of the

The earnings per mile of the roads prac

the new, smaller roads, according to their

FIRE RECORD.
Elevator at Falls City.
FALLS CITT, Neb., May 31 (Special.)
This town was visited by a disastrous fire
on Tuesday night which resulted in the
complete destruction of the elevator of P. S.
Heacock, situated at the Burlington depot.
There had been no fire in the elevator all
day Tuesday and the origin Is a mystery.
About 4 o'clock In the morning the watch
man at the semaphore noticed a blaxe com
ing out of the center of the elevator and
immediately the whole building was in
flames. By the time an alarm could be
given and the hosecart reach the depot the
building was beyond help and the energies
of the fire department were devoted to
saving the adjacent buildings from the
flames. As near as can be estimated Mr.
HeacocK's loss is from 610,000 to $11,000 and
is only partly covered by Insurance. His
loss over and above the Insurance carried
will exceed $5,000. There were between 5.000
and 6.000 bushels of grain in the elevator at
the time It burned. Work will be at once
begun on a new building, which will soon
be in running order.

CHICAGO. May 31 Judge Kohlsaat of
the I'nlted Stales district court Iwday de
cided that the federal courts have Juris
diction over the bills for injunctions
brought by the express companies against
the striking teamsters.
The attorneys for the teamsters denied
that the federal court has jurisdiction over
such bills, basing their contention on the
declaration that the express companies are
not engaged In Interstate uoinmerce.
Attorney Mayer for the Employers' as
sociation declared that the arguments of
the lawyers for the unions were ridicu
lous, and that if the express companies
were not engaged In lnterstste commerce
there was no Interstate commerce In the
I'nlted States. Arguments on points of
law In relation to the decision made by
Judge Kohlsaat this afternoon will be
heard tomorrow.
shea Before Grand Jury.
President Shea of the Teamsters' union
appeared before the grand Jury this after
noon and was questioned for two hours
He told the story of the working of the
International and local Teamsters' unions
When questioned as to his knowledge of
a blacklist maintained by the express com
panles against the teamsters he was un
able to tell anything definite. President
Shea was also asked regarding conferences
between labor leaders and employers, but
in this direction his evidence was unim
portant. He denied any conspiracy on
the part of the labor leaders and Insisted
that much of the trouble that had taken
place in the city streets had been caused
by the private detectives and other repre
sentatives of the Employers' association
for the purpose of exciting sympathy
against the strikers.
Plans of Labor Leaders.
It was announced tonight that certain
of the labor leaders will tomorrow pre
sent affidavits to the grand Jury declaring
that Attorney Mayer of the Employers
association and Chief of Detectives Buck
minster, who has acted for the same or
ganization, are responsible for all the mur
ders committed In connection with the
strike. They will also endeavor to secure
Indictments of the officials of the Employ'
ers' Teaming company for importing men
from other cities under false pretenses.
The strike today was, contrary to gen
eral expectation, very quiet, no riots wor
thy of the name having taken place In
any part o fthe city. There were a few
fights, but In none of them was anybody
seriously Injured.
The only Increase to the number of
strikers consisted of the twelve teamsters
employed by the Weaver Coal company,
who went out when ordered to make de
liveries to the American Express company.
All the business Involved In the trouble
reported tonight that more wagons bad
been sent out today than at any time
since the commencement of the strike and
that they were In a position now to in
crease their forces of drivers each day
to the full limit which the police are able
to furnish protection.
Discussing the rumors of an impending
referendum vote of the teamsters on the
question ot ending the strike. President
Shea of the teamsters, said:
Neither the national board nor myself has
power under the teamsters' hrotherheiod
constitution to say when this strike shall
end. I cannot call off the strike; neither
can the board. We cannot eaill strikes
We simply are the creatures of the rank
and file of the brotherhood and they alone
ran call eff the strike when they wish to.
The constitution of the brotherhood does
not provide for a referendum vote on call
ing off a strike. It does provide, however,
tret the men cn strike shall decide when
they want a settlement. They only can
discuss finally the terms of settlement
The only way that either the board or my
self carl act officially Is to secure some sort
of an offer of settlement and present it to
the rank and file. All this talk about my
self or the board calling off the strike is
foolish.
Sensation In Court.
A sensation was caused in the federal
court today by Attorney Oscar E. Lelnen,
who represented three persons, cited for
alleged violation of strike injunctions.
Without preface be said:
This is a case where war was brought
Into a district and men with revolvers snot

killing one another. It Is a case where
trouble was brought into a peaceable dis
trict; the residents did not want trouble.

like that the residents will not have to
answer for violating an Injunction. We
have nothing to do with you; we are not
