HAS A BIG BLOCK
One Of RockefeIIer's Clerks is a Big
Owner of Steel Stock.
(By Associated Press.)

10y <ASSOCIiLSO IeSS.J
NEW 1OtsiA, July l--Since the publi-
in the United States Steel Corporation
there has been great deal of curiosity
as to the identity OF one of the largest
of these stockholders on the list, Ber-
tram Cutler. This doubt has apparently
been cleared up.
The record shows that Mr.. Cutler holds
1885 shares Of preferred stock and
%, $50 shares Of common stock. and comes
close to being the biggest stockhoder
Of them all. Mr.. Cutler lives in New
York, and the absence OF his name from
the city directory is accounted for by
the fact that the publishers of that use
full annual have not yet included the
names Of the citizens OF that much
malgned borough across the bay-Staten
Island He Is a clerk IN the office of
John D. Rockefeller, and he can be
found at room 400 in the Standard OH
Building. No 26 Broadway. His home
Is at Prohibition Park, Staten Island
Mr. Cutler is not much more than
twenty-one years of age, and he has
been with the Standard Oil Company
several years. He is exceedingly modest,
and refuses to say whether he Is the
holder of these $40 shares of steel
stock Neither will he deny It: he SIM
ply answers all questions on that score
to the effect that he has nothing to say
Others are not so reticent. and they
say that Mr.. Cutler transfers the divi-
dends which he receives to Mr. Rocka-
Teller and possibly another who is as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Rockefeller. In any
event, Mr.. Cutters name on the list Is
regarded as satisfactorily explaining
the absence OF Mr.. Rockefeler's.

GREENSBORO, N. c., July IA
crack baseball pitcher who had been
imported last Thursday by Greensboro
to play In the new series OF the league
games left on the noon train for New
York his home. He had been here
practicing, and his demands were unu-
sual. He required a soft cushioned car
riage instead of q street-car to take him
to and from the ball grounds, with not
less than two fine steppers hitched to it,;
he also demanded a portable bath tub,
lavatory he called It, to take on his cir
cult, and many other extras not general
" provided in Tar Heel base-balldom
King Kelly, Greensboros manager. is not
at all worried over this players sloping
without notice. though he had already
cost the team a lot of money It is said
by the best authority. that the eNplana-
ton Of his conduct lies in the fact that
he discovered that a player on the New
burn team was a new Yorker and an
acquaintance; that he came here under
an alias, because he was professor IN
an athletic college In New York, and his
contract with the college forbade his
playing baseball professionally. Think
ing to make some extra money during
his college vacation. he signed With
Greensboro under an assumed name. not
dreaming that away down in North Car
DINA anybody would ever kno" iiiS iee'i
personality.
He soon found that other New Workers
often got as far as this from the center
of civilization. and that one OF them
plaving In the league was close ac-
nuaintance. So he sloped without play
ing a game, and thus retained his pro-
fessorship by breaking his contract with
Greensboro. or by making himself so ridi-
rulous in his demands that Greensboro
didn't kick at his departure
King Kelly admits that the player mad
an alias. but does not vouch for the other
nart of the interesting story. He de-
clared that the New Yorker did not
know enough about baseball to pc
nrofessor. until he was informed that
verv often school teachers with the
eraa fest reputation knew less about the
subject taught than any one else when
Ia confessed that this being the case.
he was satisfied his New Yorker might
be n first class professor.

WILL BURN OIL
Steamer Mariposa to Use it for Fuel i
Run TO Australia.
fBy Associated Press.)'

tBy Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. July The first prac-
teal test of the use Of oil as substitute
for coal fuel on a large passenger ship
is to be made by the Mariposa, vessel
Of $500 TONS sailing between San Fran
cisco and Australia.
Commander Henry \. Stevens: station
ed at the Union Iron Works; mas been
detailed to observe the experiment. The
Mar,posa has capacity of $500 barrels
Of fuel oil, and is expected to make a
speed with Oil equal to her average with
coal The use Of petroleum by steamers
plying from San Francisco is said to b, be
most desirable on account OF the hisn
price there OF coal and the comparative
cileap ness OF oil. The best steaming coal
is now quoted at $40 a ton in San Fran
cisco, and the greater part is transported
from eastern ports by sea.
Rear-Admiral George W. Melville has
great faith in the possibilities Of oil as
fuel for the largest ships. and probably
will ask that some Of the. smaller war
ships be fitted with appliances for its
use should the experiment on the Mari
posa prove successful.
