feller. Jr.. who some day may proba-
bly, become the richest man In the world,
has been very i'll with serious cold
and sore throat at Pocantico Hills for
two weeks. and despite reports to the
contrary, an alarming aspect Of his III
ness has been the high temperature
which has existed since Sept. 80. and
which at times has reached I02 degrees
The members Of the Rockefeller family
have made every effort to keep the ILL
ness of the young millionaire a secret
For two Sundays Mr.. Rockefeller has
been unable to attend the meetings of
his Bible class in the Fifth Avenue
church and this worried him more than
anything else.
Each Sunday afternoon he sent word
to the members OF the class that he
would be unable 10 attend. but that their
weekly Bible study should go on Just
the same.
