BY SEN. US
“Any Self-Respecting People
Should Be Ashamed to Accept
Charity From Them.”
Washington, m*\ i in
*p««ch before the Senate, in which he
attacked the Sherman anti-trust law
as a failure. Senator Work*, of Cali
fornia. bitterly criticised the methods
of Andrew Carnegie and John IJ
Rockefeller in acquiring great for
tunes
Senator Works advocated the pass
age of measures providing for the
criminal punishment of specific acts In
restraint of trade and clothing the In
terstate Commerce Commission with
power to •npervlse the business of
other corporations as It now controls
railroads
He urged that the commission be
given power "to investigate any cor
poration or corporations charged with
or surpected of contracting, combin
ing. conspiring or monopolizing in re
straint of trade, and to dissolve the
combination and place the offending
corporations in the hands of a receiv
er, whose duty it shall be to close up
Ihe business of such corporations. It
is not enough to dissolve the combi
nation The corporations themselves
should be dissolved and their business
wound up/’
Too Lsnisnt With Rieh Criminals.”
Senator Works declared that rich
criminals are dealt with too leniently.
Tie declared there is no remedy bu:
to take away the discretion of the
weaklings on the bench, make the
rime a felony and imprisonment im
perative.”
Speaking of the relation of a pro
tective tariff, trusts and wages paid.
Senator Works declared it would be
an excellent thing if the Interstate
<’ornmerce Commission were given
power to adjust tariffs to compel man-
u^actOrers to pay fair wages.
Andrew Carnegie and John L>.
Rockefeller and their charities were
handled without gloves. After ex
pressing his surprise that Congress
should ha\e considered for one minute
the question of incorporating the
Rockefeller foundation. Senator Works
said of Carnegie’s libraries:
Calls John D. a Poor Model.
Any self-respecting community
shou'd be ashamed to accept charity
of this kind, under any circumstances.
Much more should they refuse it, com
ing from such a source. As a matt*r
Y»f simple justice and right the money
thus accumulated belongs not to the
dispenser of these charities, but to the
men, women and children whose un
derpaid toll accumulated the fund.
"We do not want our children to be
taught the ways nor the methods of
John D. 'Rockefeller or his kind; nor
to be generous with Ill-gotten gains;
nor to touch, handle or profit by gold
that should blister the lingers of the
man who has accumulated it by extor
tion. oppression and crime and is now
attempting to rid himself of it by giv
ing It away; nor to become the re
ceivers* of stolen goods in the name
and under tnc guise of charity."

Brought Out by Contest.
Great Sunday Rally.
!
Also Tells Chief About Some
Conspiracy—Locked Up.
Atlanta is just now recovering from
its " under ovtr the record-breaking
spectacle of yesterday, when more
than 7,000 Sunday school scholars of
the FirK Christian and Second Bap
tist Churches formed a gigantic pro
cession to march to a Sunday school
rally.
Enthusiasm that marked the occa-
«,on came as the result of a thrilling
membership contest, of which the
demonstration was the crowning fea
ture
A result was tlie enrollment of the'
largest single Sundav school in the
world, a* experts declared the First
Christian Sunday school to he when
yesterday the roll call revealed 4,129
members. The' previous record, of
about 2.800, was held by Glasgow,
Scotland.
The announcement brought thrill
ing applause. The applause came
again at the Auditorium when the
pastors of the two churches talked of
the contest and its results.
7,000 in Procession.
The procession, beginning at the
State Capitol at 10:15 o’clock, was
headed by the two paators. Rev. John
E. White and Rev. L. O. Bricker. and
the two superintendents, John S.
Spalding and C. V. LeCraw. Thorn,;s
Day and R. A. Burnett were marsha's
of the day, assisted by E. K. Martin,
Homer Hail, W. C. Daviett, H. W.
Quinn. A. YV. Malone. Fred Patterson.
Joseph A. Hall and Fred Hannah.
Marching down Washington Street
to the Auditorium, the great proces
sion was the target for fire from mov
ing picture cameras. The Auditorium
was filled, as no grand opera crowd
has filled it, to the last seat in the
highest balcony row.
Dr. nnad Mrs. Percy J. Starnes w en-
leaders in the musical program.
Christian Church Lends.
Tlie score in the membership con
test was announced;
First Christian Church attendance.

standing. 55,344.
Second Baptist attendance, 2,197;
points scored. 9.558; contest standing.
48.083.
The contest began twelve weeks
a^;«> when the First Christian Church
challenged the Second Baptist to a
race for an enlarged enrollment. The
losing school would entertain at a
picnic to the winning school. The
results were greater than had been
anticipated.
The contest, its moving spirits be
lieve, will be spread to other Sunday
schools and an effort to make of At
lanta the foremost Sunday school city
in the world will be launched.
The contest will close next Sun
day.
Chief of Detectives I-an ford w at
busily engaged with detectives on th°
Phagan murder mystery shortly be
fore noon Monday when an excited
man, giving his name as James tv.
Tupper. 121 Plum Street, summoned
him from the conference and. with *n
air of mystery, called him aside ana
asked 1 for a pistol.
"Lend me a pistol for a few min
utes.’’ he exclaimed, excitedly.
Taken by surprise, the Chief eyed
the atranger closely, noticing a
strange gleam in his eyes and that
he appeared pale and agitated. The
man declined to give hia reason for
wanting a pistol, but insisted that
the Chief let him have one immedi
ately.
Chief Lan-ford stepped back into his
office on the pretext of getting a re
volver, but the stranger, evidently
divining that his purpose was to have
him detained, darted down th$ stairs
to the second floor and into the offire
of Police Chief Beavers.
Approaching close to the side of the
Chief, w’ho was seated at his desk, the
man. who by this time was all atrem-
ble. startled the Chief by demanding:
"I want to know’ all about this con
spiracy. You just as well tell me
because I’m going to know' right now. ’
When asked what he meant by “the
conspiracy," the strange caller re
plied :
"You know what conspiracy. You
know what I’m doing here, and what 1
want, and you just as well come
ciean."
Then Wanted $6,200 Check.
Chief Beavers humored the man ui:
til he could telephone to the station
sergeant’s office and summon a call
officer. In the meantime, the man de
manded of the Chief that he turn over
lo him a check for $6,200 left there for
him.
"Who told you I had a check for
you?" asked the Chief.
"Why, I overheard a man and
woman talking down on the stre-it.
and I heard them say the check ha a
been left here for me—and I want it. ’
He was unable to give any idea as
to what the check was for. Police
man Hamilton escorted him to a ceil
until he could be investigated.

British Ashamed of
Their Paltry Graft
But They Have Adopted the Word
Which Fits Their Con
ditions.
LONDON. May 5.—There has been
a general, not to say formal, adoption
of the American word "graft,” for
want of anything so concise and de
scriptive. it* the revelations that have
come in an investigation by the Gov
ernment. an effort to show that there
has been m fixed tariff or “Hcale of
prices" for the jeeliing of public ap
pointments by the Poor Law Board
and that there has also been syste
matic bribery in contracts.
It is rather sheepishly pointed out
that the only difference between the
corruption of local bodies here and iri
the United States's that the loot here
is so paltry.
