MOURNERS MARCH BEFORE ROCKEFELLER


New York May 2--Demonstrations today against John D. Rockefeller Jr. because of his alleged policy in the Colorado strike situation were unmarked by disturbances of moment. The chief development of the day was the arrest of Marie Ganz, the Industrial Workers of the World orator, for repeated threats against Mr. Rockefeller.

Miss Ganz was released tonight when a surety company furnished the $500 bail required. she will be arraigned tomorrow.

Picketing by crepe sleeved marchers continued today in front of the Rockefeller office building and was resumed tonight in the vicinity of his residence near Fifth avenue.

Upton Sinclair was conspicuous among the marchers. He was released from prison last evening after having paid a fine imposed for disorderly conduct..
