A DFspoNDENT FATHERS ACT.
Kills His Little Son and Then COM
mfts Suicide.

NEW YORK, Oct I.-Alexander Howard
came home at noon today to his house at
% Gunther Place. Brooklyn, sent his wife
out to deliver note, took his eight-year-
old boy Lee into the basement, shot him
dead, and then blew out his own brains.
Howard was forty-nine years old. He
had occupied himself variously, being at
one time a newspaper reporter. but for
the last twelve years had been an agent
of a life insurance company and attached
to branch office at 34S Fulton Street.
He was also an inventor of mechanical
toys. The story the police got and gave
out today was that he had been doing
nothing at his insurance business for
weeks recently and had devoted his time to
trying TO dispose of some toys he had
evolved for the Christmas trade. He had
hawked these toys about the city's big
stores and found no market. He seemed
to be very jaded when he reached home at
noon today.
He spent few minutes writing a short
note to Assistant Superintendent Shire,
of his office, and this note he asked his
wife to deliver. The note requested Mr.
Shire to call at Towards house as soon as
he could Mrs. Howard did not wait after
delivering the note. When she opened the
door of her home she smelled the gun
powder and she called for her husband and
son, but got no answer. She found their
bodies in the laundry, each with a bullet
hole in the head

THE ROCKEFELLER QUARREL.
Frank Removes His Children's
Bodies From the Family Lot.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 1.-THE quar-
rel between John ID. Rockefeller and his
brother Frank grows more bitter as time
passes. That the breach is past healing
was made plain by an event which took
place at Lakcview Cemetery last Monday
and which was not known until today. On
that day the bodies of two children of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Rockefeller were re-
moved from the family lot which is own
cd in common by the brothers and placed
in lot which Frank Rockefeller recent
ly bought.
The latter, it is said has been contem-
plating this step for some time. II was
almost the last thing he did before leav-
ing the city on protracted absence.
Frank Rockefeller's reason, assigned to
his friends. for not allowing his chill
dren's remains TO rest any longer in the
family lot was that John d. consulted
none of the other members when he de-
signed and erected the Rockefeller monu-
ment, which was put up last spring.
Frank Rockefeller thought he should have
had voice in the design of the monu-
ment, as members of his immediate fami-
ly were buried in the lot over which 1t
was to tower.

from the 10 per cent advance. This will
give the miners an increase OF about 10
per cent. The operators say that it is
impossible for them to do this.
number of the local unions in this
city have told the delegates to insist upon
recognition of the union. The operators
will not consider it. The delegates also
have been instructed to demand pay every
two weeks, a check weighman, the arbi-
traitor of minor grievances and con-
tract with the operators that all these
shall be in force for two years. The dele
gates in the middle and southern coal
fields have grievances which apply to the
workers there, the conditions being diff
ferent from this field. and one and all are
instructed to fight for them to the last.
The outcome will probably be much
disseIsion in the convention, failure to
agree on any one set of demands, and
the absolute refusal Of the operators to
receive and consider any communications
from the convention.

Mrs. Anne Hart. today replevined $4,000
brooch and much other valuable p rsonal
property held by her.
Schrieber's whereabouts are said to be
practically known to the officials of the
bank. Samuel Schleimer. an Elizabcthport
lawyer who was in New York today in
the interest OF the bank, says that he has
reason to believe that Schrieber is very
close to this city, and he hopes to appre-
bend him within two days. Naturally
he refused to divulge to reporters the
source or the character of his information.
The statement that Schrieber had sailed
for Europe is not believed. The detectives
of the American Security Company which
was on Schriebers bond for $1,000 also
believe that he is in hiding in or near
New York.
The Hart woman was still invisible to-

day and was generally supposed to be in
seclusion with Alma Templeton. one Of
her friends, at SO West Fifty-first Street.

A man who has known Mrs. Hart since
she was little girl. by reason of the
fact that they were reared in the same
town. said today that Mrs. Hart was born
in Knoxville, Tenn. Her fathers name
was Jones. but as her mother, whose
name was Emma. married John Brown
after the death Of her first husband, the
girl was usually called Annie Brown To-

Several companies have been formed in
Norway to mine Arctic coal. Mines have
already been opened at Icefjord, Spitz-

to ten feet deep.
1t is claimed that the whole demand of

unlimited period from this source. The
coal, however. must be transported in
lighters to the ships. and the piers must
be removed every winter to prevent their
being destroyed by the ice
