Jerome was not willing that this

that Thaw was consumed wiih rage

Washington, March 11. A boycott
of tho $411,000,000 education fund
established by John D. Rockefeller,
on the ground that tho dollars aro
tainted, has boon ' proposed by
Thomas W. Phillips, a millionaire
ol! man and exiongiessman from

"Thus, he concluded, 'Mbeli jury

Mr. Dclmas objected to Hummel
