Joho D. RockerellanAyyeinded ‘nis; third day of testimony before the United States Industrial Commission this afternoon and left the stand amid an outburst of applause which star- tled the observers, who had noticed the hostile attitude of the audience when the young millionaire was first called to testify, It was a personal triumph for the witness. Mr. Rockefeller and Mother Jones, the labor agitator who has led strikes and fatal strike battles in every part of the United States, had another meeting to-day in the ante- room of the Board of Estimate room in City Hall. The Standard Oil heir apparent had previously invited Mother Jones to call on him at his office. The two found themselves blocked from leav- ing by the crowds in the corridor when the United States Industrial Commission adjourned for lunch, They shook hands and talked weather for a moment. Then Mr, Rockefeller said: “They do not seem to be through with us yet. We have not had a chance for our talk on Industrial con- ditions, But we must have that talk. 1 look forward to a great deal of help from you in this matter. “I want you to be with me when I go to Colorado to make my personal investigations. I want you right with me. Our interests are mutual, We have the same ends in sight. We shall bury the hatchet.” “You know," sald the old woman, beaming, “I am not for war, I am not for violence. If you will go with me out to Colorado you will prove yourself a great man—the greatest this nation has ever known.” “Now, now,” said Mr. Rockefeller, “You're flattering me.” “No,” @aid Mother Jones, “I don't flatter. I throw more bricks than bouquets. I mean it. We have not ever had a big employer who was broad enough to show his good will that way. We will work this thing out yet, young man.” Mr. Rockefeller’s idea as to the get- together movement between capital and labor was brought out during the afternoon by hia answer to a ques- tion by Commiasioner O'Connell, “I agree with you that much un- rest in industry is due to a lack of acquaintance and understanding be- tween employers and laborers, “When 1 go to Colorado I hope to have the privilege of meeting the men themselves.” When Mr. Rockefeller was excused permanently from the stand at 3 o'clock he thanked the commission for its courtesy, He asked for help from the commission and sald he was sure the work of the commission would have good results not only in ‘(Continued cm Second Page.) ‘The Prese Publishing York World) NEW JUDGE A COWARD INNEW ATTACK Scores Justice Benedict for “Gross Act of Judicial Lawlessness.” HITS AT OTHERS, TOO. District Attorney Says They Confessed Guilt In Grout Matter by Silence. District Attorney James C, Cropsey of Kings County to-day filed with the committee of the Bar Association of Brooklyn, which is investigdting hin charge of “hand-picked Judges to try Edward M, Grout." the President of the defunct ‘Union Bank, a lengthy brief in support of his contention and in further criticism of the Dench. He handled Justice Benedict quite with- out gloves. It was this Justice who lectured Mr, Cropsey in court for his “hand-picked” utterances, , The Brooklyn Bar Association had sent Invitations to the several Judges and Justices criticised by the District Attorney to appear and reply as they wished, but none of them did so. In his brief Mr. Cropsey cited what he characterized six concrete instancen in which the courts had favored Grout in the face of the protest of the Dis. trict Attorney. They were as follows: Birst.—Justice Clarke transferred the Grout case from the County Court to the Supreme Court. Second.—Justice Marean illegally struck out parts of the indictment against Grout. Third.—Justice Blackmar declined to pass upon the District Attorney's motion to reopen the case and re- ferred it back to Justice Marean, Fourth.—County Judge Dike inaist- ed upon paroling Grout in the cus- tody of his counsel on the second indictment, which was plainly iNegal. Fifth.—Justice Scudder transferred the trial of the second indictment from the County Court to the Supreme Court. Sixth.—Justice Scudder granted full Inspection of the minutes of the Grand Jury in the second indictment and de- livered an eulogy of Grout as an hon- est and highly respected citizen. Mr. Cropsey then went on to state that there were only two instances in which the District Attorney's office had been favored in the courts. These were: First—Justice Kelly's denial of the motion of Grout's counsel to dismiss the second indictment on the Grand Jury minutes. Second—Justice Benedict's decision refusing to dismiss the indictment for lack of prosecution and sending tt back to the County Court for trial. Mr, Cropsey critic! the Justices and Judges for their failure to make statements before the Bar Association, saying: “Not a single word to contradict the werlous charges made against them has been uttered by the Justices. Their failure cannot be treated otherwise than as an admission that they cannot truthfully deny the charges.” Of the utterances of Justice Bene- dict in court the day he took the Dis- trict Attorney to task for his speech Mr, Cropsey said: “The statements made were gross- ly unjust, unfair and offensive, and the utterance of them tn court when they were not called for by any mat- ter before the Justice was a disgrace- ful spectacle, When I attempted to reply the Justice would not permit me to do #0 and state facts which had not been correctly stated by the a likely that Mr, Grout could obtaia a fair trial in Kings ( It Is understood that Mr. Cropsey will oppose the motion, and will make an effort to have a Supreme Court | Justice from an Up-State county come justice, 5 “Thig act was & gross act ef Judie! © ee YORK, WEDNESDAY, JAN (“Cireutation Books Open to All””| ny Weather—Uneettled to-night) Thursday fair ond INA] EDITION UARY 2 7 » 1915. 18 PAGES ‘ONE ORET, | Millionaire and Wife Who Has.

For nearly two hours the President listened to arguments by Representa- tives Burnett of Alabama, Sabath of Mlinois, Gardner of Massachusetts and Senators Lodge of Massachu- setts and Robinson of Arkansas, Dur- ing the hearing Senator Lodge voiced what some of those present construed as an intimation to the President that if the bill were vetoed It would be re- passed by both Senate and Housee Representative Sabath alone asked the President to veto the bill, Lodge told the President he believed the literacy test was the best feast- ble method for restricting immigra- tion. Mr, Sabath contended there wax no public demand for the bill, and Senator Lodge replied that the over- whelming vote in its favor in both Houses of Congress was proof to the ntrary.
