RICHEST MAN IN
WORLD IS POOR
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER THIRSTS FOR
SYMPATHY AND A KIND WORD WHICH
HIS uNCOUNTED MILLIONS CANNOT
BUY.

CLEVELAND, O., July 21.-John
D. Rockefeller thirsts for sympathy
and hungers for kind word. With
his uncounted millions and his mas
terry of men, his lifelong ambition sat
isf,ed. and no more worlds lett for
mercenary conquering, the richest
man in the world sits by the hour at
Forest Hill his chin upon his breast,
or walks for hours under the trees OF
his MAGNIFICENT estate, always alone
except for his guard who keeps at
distance and always in the gloom.
His greatest interest is in his press
clipping bureau which is known to be
a system highly perfected He reads
the flood of printed denunciations that
are heaped upon him, though the in
eyltable result is humiliation and
heart burning. In other days Rookie
Teller treated public opinion as ex-
pressed in type with contempt. All
that is changed. With keen interest
he now awaits each new attack read
ing every condemning word at the
earliest opportunity his clipping bur
eau affords him. The latest Tarbell
article, made public Wednesday, was
no exception. Every word was reac
by her subject with iuvidious curiosi
ty. The lat sentence was punctuatet
with the exclamation, Thank thu
LORD, that is her last.

investigating the death of Mrs. Ruby
Larned, % years Old. which occurred
under peculiar circumstances at her
home in a L"roX avenue APARTMENT

CURRY. The husband. w. b. Larned.
who is IS years old. says he is an ar
fist and that he formerly worked as
Il neWspaperman in this city. Ac-
cording to the story which he told the

soon after drinking the beverage be-
came Very drowsy and went TO bed.
She slept heavily all the afternoon
and evening and when she showed no
signs OF awakening before midnight,
the husband says he became alarmed
and called a physician. Three other
physicians later We're summoned and
worked over the woman for hours but
despite all their efforts she died with
out Iegaining consciousness. When
the police were notified OF the death
they learned that the physicians had
found two bottles containing carbOlic
acid on a stand near the bed in which
Mrs. Larned was lying. One of these
bottles from which the poison label
has been partially removed was near
ly empty. This led them to make
closer inquiries of the husband and
servant regarding the caret which
had been given Mrs. Larned and they
assert that the girl told conflicting
stories us to where she obtained the
wine. Larned repeated his story
without variance. but it was decided
to hold both him and the girl pending
Il fuller investigation.

dent of Atlanta. Ga. and is said to
