Responslble for Everythmg That Happened in Golorado Strike o Kansas 'City, Mo.,” June 1.—Frank P, Walsh, chairman of the industrial P relations commissions, in a statement | vesterday declared that the commis- sion ‘‘has'proved the absolute re- “svonsibility ' of. .John D. Rockefeller, JTr., ‘himself, for everything that hap- veped in Colorado.” Mr. Walsh added that the men who led the Colorado strike were fighting the same fight for /7 liberty ‘“against an enemy as power- . ful’and menacing hs any ever faced by our revolutionary rorefathers.” ““The record of . the Washington hearing of the commission,” - said Ghairman Walsh, “is Temarkable, to my mind, chiefly becausé every major indictment brought against the Rocke- fellers, father and scn, as well as the other coal 'operators working with, them in Colerado; by tiue bditterest of agitators, has been proven out of the © lips of John D: Rockefeller, Jr., or the men whom he hires to carry out the joint wills of his father and him- gelf; in:most instances backed up by the letters over the signuture of these men."” Proved by Testimony. ‘“Political domination, intimidation of the governor, contemp: for govern- meént and the: America people as a " the prostitution of the state to 'vrfvul.e interests, an utter contempt ani )fl!t’filald for the ?tal(‘ and fed- eral constitutions; as 'well as for € laws; the herror of the Ludlow cre, the exploitation of helpless TMiners by economic pressure and the _viler forms of larceny, the attempt to is just as good," believe him, woul ders made of alum tartar. grapes from which ROYAL BAKING Real Worth vs. Low Cost If you asked your butcher for 8 porterhouse steak and he handed you a cut of the flank and said, "This doesn't cost as much and you wouldn't d you?

It does o injustice to the spirit of the article which Mr. Rockefeller so lavishly rraised to’call attention to that por- tion of it in which Professor Steven- &cn counceded, for the sake of argu- ment, that 700,000 little children die anually in America on account of under-nourishment of themselves or their parents, and asse:ts that their deaths must bé conceded to be a bless- ing to themselves and to the com- munity, adding that ‘suc¢h children “With the record of tne Colorado if they _fail to see the folly of trusting | to th good intentions and the philan- thropic impulses of wmen ke ,the Messrs.

RocKe- feller.” To Report on Findings. Chairman Walsh announced that the commission had completed its hearings on industrial conditions throughout the country and would as- temble in Chicago within the next ten days to prepare a rep: of its findings. “No ‘experts’ will prepare this report, The commission will write 1t,” said he. GERMAN WRITERS APPROVE REPLY Berlin’s Note to Washington Polite Answer, They Claim Berlin, May 31, (via London), June 1, 3:02 a. m. Captain Persius, the naval expert of the ‘“Berliner Tage- blatt,” in an article today, expresses thorough approval of the tone of Ger- many’s reply to the United States gov- ernment concerning Germany's sub- marine warfare, The reply, says Captain Persius, while completely friendly, leaves no doubt of Germany’s firm determination to continue her submarine warfare unless Great Britain returns to the priciples of the London declaration. He places the American government on the defensive to answer for ‘‘the criminal light-mindedness™” which al- carrying ammunition and exposed to the attacks of German submaries. ‘Will Admit Washington Defense, Captain Persius says Germany will wait and see what defense the Wash- ington administration has to offer and how it justifies the port ' authorities against the charges which are con- tained, and only thing veiled, in the communication. The attempt to pass the responsibilty on to Germany, the writer says, is an old device of those whose conscienceg are now shattered on Germany's firm reply. The writer approves of the friendly | 1anguage of the German note, which he says will dissapoint the prophets of hostile countries who were hoping for a rupture of German-American relations. He says every clear-think- ing German wil be pleased at the government's moderate language which offers the possibility of finding a4 common meeting ground, because too brusque language toward any or all the neutral countries would scare- ly be advisable in an era when Ger- many’s enemies are going to every length to win their favor, Predicts Much Consideration. Captain Persius declares he scarce- ly dares to hope for a friendly recep- tion of the German note in the United States, but he expresses the belief that in the end the American gov- ernment, will, as in the case of Great Britain's similar negative reply to an American protest, subject the German answer to much consideration. In conclusion Captain Persius says: “Time will pass and the oportunity will be given.for cooler consideration of the Lusitania case. The cries of horror over American women and children will die down and I hope the views of peaceful neutral persons will gain the upper hand.” Politeness of Note, George Bernhard, in the “Vossische Zeitung,” emphasizes what he ply to the American note. “We would 'have heen thoroughly Justified,” says Hérr Bernhard, “in re- plylng with a gharp protest to the American note.” that the United States will be con- vinced of the truth of the information Germany has adduced with regard to the Lusitania, and that instead of pro- testing further to Germany, it will hold the Cunard Line responsible for exions' usually become clean, gflr and velvetyy, and hair health ‘and be: are aided by the reg- mm- use of Ruu;ol Soap.

The effect of the gas can also be felt as far back as five or six miles and produces headache and a smarting of the eyes. Germans Defend Conduct. “The German papers as well as falsely accusing us of making use of poisonous fumes, apparently defend their conduct by stating that, the dis- semination of this gas results in swift and painless death to those with whom it comes in contact, and conse- quently is less barbarous than sub- jecting men to an inferno of shell fire from which great physical and men- tal torture must necesearily be en- dured. “I am sure the public cannot have as yet the slightest idea of this last damnable effort on the part of the Germans to disrégard all laws of hu- manity and civilization. Gasgp for Breath, “I' have seen our men in hospital after having been brought back from the trenches. There is no need to ask for the ward in which they are, as their groaning is quite sufficient a direction of itself. In one ward there are eighteen cases. They are all sit- ting bolt upright, or swaying back and forwards, gasping for breath; their faces, hands and necks a shiny gray-black color, their eyes glazed, and unable absolutely to speak or feed. “It takes two days for these men to die. During these two days they are in the most acute agdny, and if by the slightest chance they recover from the polson they will in all prob- ability be rendered useless for life, as the effect of the gas is to turn all the tissues of the lung into liquid. The doctors and nurses are working day and night in the attempt to give some relief. But there is nothing to be done. It is the most hopeless, help- less, sickening sight imaginable.

Opinions Undergo Change. “At first I was inc¢lined to disbe- lieve the accounts of the ill-treatment of our prisoners at the hands of the enemy and to put them down to the inevitable exaggerations of ' warfare, but now that I have come face to face with German methods in the field, my opinions have undergone gradual but permanent change.” General Stuart-Wortley was for- | merly on terms of considerable in- timacy with Emperor William of Ger- many.

APPEAL FOR FRAN Late Judge Roan Expressed Doubt of Gondemned Man’s Guilt Atlanta, Ga., June 1.—A letter written by the late Judge L, S. Roan, who presided at Leo M. Frank’s trial, urging clémeéncy for Frank, was pre- sented at the opening session yester- restricted and limited, according to ‘| my interpretation of tihe dgecisions of I allowed the undisturbed. it was the reviewing court, Jury's verdiet to remain I had no way of knowmg erroneous. “After many months of continued celiberation I am still uncertain of Frank's guilt. This state of uncer- tainty is largely due to the character of the negro Conley's testimony, by which the verdict was evidently reached. Judge Promised Aid. “Therefore, 1 consider this a case in which the chief magistrate of the state should exert every effort in as- containing the truth. The execution of any person whose gullt has not been satisfactorily proven to the constituted day of the hearing on Frank's ap- piication for commutation of sentence before the state prison commission. ! The letter, dated in December, 1914, : vas addressed to Luther Z. Rosser and Reuben R. Arnold, Frank’'s principal ccunsel at his trial. Juage Roan died ' in New .York last March. The letter sald: “‘After considering your communi- | cation asking that I recommend ¢lem- ency in the punishment of Leo M, Frank, I wish to say that at the proper | time I shall ask the prison commis- sion to recommend and the governor to commute Frank’'s sentence to life imprisonment. * * * Undue Deference Possible. “It is possible that I showed undue deference to the opinlon of the jury in this case when I allowed thelr ver- gict to stand. They said by their ver- dict that they had fougni the truth. I was still in a state of uncertainty and so expressed myself. My search | for the truth, though diligent !nd; earnest, had not been so successful. In the exercise of judical dl-cretlon.l authorities, is too horrible to contem- rlate. 1 do not belleve that a person should meet with the extreme penalty of the law until the court, jury and governor all shall have been satisfled of that person's guilt. Hence, at the proper time, I ghall express and en- large upon these views directly to the governor and to the prison commis- sion. “However, if for any cause, I am prevented from doing this, you are at liberty to use this letter at the hear- ing." Letter Was Surprise, The reading of Judge Roan's letter | wag attended with unusual interest as itr existence had not ween publicly known until Sunday and the contents had not been divulged previous to the hearing yesterday. The hearing on Frank’s petition was concluded late yesterday and the prison commission took the matter under advisement, A decision is not expected under a week.
