OIL KING’S COIN TAINTED WITH BLOOD
FIGHT LAUNCHED IN SENATE TO PREVENT ACCEPANCE [SIC] OF CONTRIBUTION
CHILDREN ARE IN TEARS
May Turn Down Aid for Boll Weevil and Farm Extension
WOULD SHOOT ROCKEFELLER
At. John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s house in New
York a number of persons were arrested for performing the "mourning march
of the free silence movement" for the slain in the Colorado mine war.
"Beautiful Marie" Ganz, a companion
of Alexander Berkmann, the anarchist, who shot H. C. Frick, invaded John D.
'Rockefeller, Jr.'s office, New York, and threatened to shoot him if he did not
settle the mine war. She was ejected, and was mobbed in Bowling Green, where
she tried to make, a speech.
New York, May 4.—"Yesterday I was at the office of John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., and if I could have got him I would have shot him down like a
dog."
"These words Of Marie Ganz, voiced a protest against Rockefeller,
according to testimony of Irving Ettinger, police headquarters stenographer, at
the trial of a woman charged with disorderly conduct. She was arrested last
week, after making several fruitless attempts to see Rockefeller in connection
with the Colorado mine workers strike, and had addressed open air meetings. The
hearing will be continued till tomorrow.
Washington, D.C., May 4—A determined fight has been launched in the
Senate against the government accepting Rockefeller’s money, and aiding farm
demonstration and boll weevil extermination work.
Senator Lane declared that money of John D. Rockefeller was “covered
with blood and tears of women and children, shot down in the Colorado strike.”
Debate on the amendment of the agricultural appropriation bill was
pending when the senate adjourned. The amendment reported by the agricultural committee,
proposed an appropriation of $600,000 for farm demonstration and boll weevil work,
with a clause prohibiting contributions to the fund by individuals or
corporations.
At present the general education board, to which Rockefeller has given
millions, pays a portion of salaries to 600 government employees engaged in
this work.
