Gas and Coke Company Deal.

Henry M. Whitney had organized a
voluntary association under the name Of
the New England Gas & Coke company
with a capital Of $35, O00 000-$17, SOC, 900

patents and other papers Of an equally
valuable nature, $2,000,000; and with the
balance. s3,50O000 was to start business.
But before beginning operations or doing
anything else, it was to borrow at once

Whitney's plan. He made it so hot
that Rogers sent for him, and in the
end, says Lawson, Rogers begged him
on the ground Of personal relations to
quit. the battle. He refused, but he
says he did consent to a compromise.
That compromise was as follows, as Mr..
Lawson himself proposed it to Rogers:
Mr. Rogers, will do this and only
this: I will not say a word to any one
until you have your s12, 900, 900 and are
| out, and the others in beyond getting
out but I am not to benefit a dollar from
you, from Whitney, nor any one. Then,
before the public have parted with a dol
lar, will yell. and yell so loud that the
world will hear and all that gang will pay
the penalty. I'm doing this mainly to
please you, but also I want to teach
Whitney and some Of the others a lesson.
I think can make this new scheme OF
yours living and lasting illustration OF
the dangers Of double dealing.

Thankful Miss Tarbell Is Done.

In other days Rockefeller treated
public opinion as expressed in type in
contempt. All that is changed. With
the keenest interest he now awaits each
new attack, reading every condemning
word at the earliest opportunity his
clipping service affords him. The latest
Tarbeu article, made public Wednesday
in the August McClure's was no excep-
ton. Every word was read by her sub
ject. The last sentence, it is said, was
punctuated with this EXPLANATIONS:
Thank the Lord it 8 her lastl"
All Of this comes from an authentic
source. it is said, and there is little Won
der among those who have read Miss
Tarbell's last article that Rockefeller
is thankful that it is her last article.
For, Miss Tarben brings the oil king
face to face with the question whether
all he has done for both church and
charity and all he can do can offset
what he has done by his business ca
reer against both and against the good
Of human kind. Miss Tarbell puts the
good and the evil Of Rockefellerism
thus: $
''It has been computed that Mr..
Rockefeller entire gifts, public and
private charities, have amounted to
call the aggregate $4o,0o0,O0O, and that
would probably do Mr.. Rockefeller full
justice. It is not great&sum consider
ing Mr.. Rockefeller's vast income.
Probably his dividends from the Stand
ard Oil company alone in the last three
years would cover it. And the Stand
ard Oil company is only one Of Mr.
Rockefeller's dividend earners.

score of TO O. Mathewson was in the box for
the visitors. and was in rare form. Not hit
was made off his delivery, nor did he give a
base on balls He struck out two men and
flelded his position perfectly making four clever
assists Brown, who acted in the same capacity
for the home team, also pitched a steady game
with the exception Of the final inning. Up to
that time he had allowed only one hit and sue
ceeded in striking out three men.
The fact that the home team had won the

COLUMBIA CREW SHAKE-UP
Changes Made in Freshmen and

Poughkeepsie. n. Y, June 13-The Columbia
freshman eight and the varsity four went
through shaking up process to-day. and when
the coach got through the makeup Of both boats
was almost new The freshmen went out
for the first time to-day in the new shell that
was presented to them by Kingdom Gould. their
classmate, and which was brought UP from New
York Sunday by the launch Columbia, having
Just been finished by the builder.
The freshmen, when they got ready for the
afternoon row, somewhat surprised at the
changes that Goodwin ordered. Snevilly was
dropped from the boat. going to the second

than it was before. but 1t is not considered that

is it generally thought that he will keep the
place.
In the four-oar Goodwin had another regular
dice box shake-up. He took Ferris. the 200
FOUNDER, out of the boat entirely. and put in his
place at No Mckenzie, who was rowing at No
2 in the four on Monday. Updike was changed
from bow to No. 2, while Won Bermuth was kept
at stroke. Norris placed at bow. The new
combination is not considered to be good, the
men rowing with poor time. There is break
in the boat between Updike and Mackenzie, the
former getting his catch on each stroke before
Won Bernuth. AS Norris follows Updike and
Mackenzie follows Won Bernuth on each stroke,
the result is practically two pairs rowing at
once in the same boat. 1t does not keep an even
keel either.

in the afternoon and was saluted by the Column
