Palatka Secures Conference.

I One Of the most important acts of
the recent session of the Florida
Conference of the M. f. church,
south, in so far as this city is con-
cerned, was the choice of PalatKa as
the place for assembling its next an
nual session.
The official board of st. James
church extended the invitation to the
conference through Pastor Gates and
| the conference accepted the invita-
ton in preference to similar ones
from Jacksonville, Gainesville and
| Tallahassee.
This means that during the second
week of December, 1906 Palatka will
be the head centre of Methodism in
Florida. Every Methodist pastor in
the state will be here and also many
distinguished laymen.
1t is II years since the conference
assembled in Palatka and it was
time this city again received the
| bent fit which always attends and
follows in the wake of such II gather
ing.
The homes of the good people of
the city will be opened wide to these
Christian workers and they will be
made to feel II welcome that will be
royal and sincere.
Palatka once came near to being
made II permanent center OF Metho-
! dist influence. The church had de-
cided to change the location Of its
college from Lpesburg. There was
committee of three on location, two
of whom favored site on Palatka

At the close Of my first years practice
of osteopathy in Palatka, | wish to
thank my patients and trends for their
kindness and cooperation.
Many who have been favorably I'M
pressed have allowed themselves to be-
come discouraged by the too free advice
of others.
Getting well is business. 1t is your
own business. Use your own judgment.
Do your own thinking. Do not ask your
family physician to advise you as to
whether you should see an osteopath, as
he is incompetent, being graduate OF
different school of therapy.
1t is not "a matter Of any consequence
to me whether there are five or 500 med
ical doctors in Palatka, as my patients
are numbered among that class who
have failed to get relief, also those who
are tired of drugs. If you are interested
in osteopathy and wish to get well call

however. and the Standard is now doing gooo
business in that country"
Os1,e of the most arduouS duties OF MT. Dodd
in recent years has been to protect the com
pauy's interests in times OF war. During the
Spanish American War and at the outset oi
the war between Russia and Japan he was con-
stantIy on the alert to safeguard the company
interests on the seas. Asked if he did not re-
gard that phase of his work as particularly
hard Mr. Dodd smiled and said: During the
war with Spain the Standard had a refinery in
daily operation in Havana just back of MORO
Castle. We were not interfered with by the
Spanish authorities except that we were asked
to shut down at night as the lights showed the
fort too clearly to the gunners of the American
warshiEs."
The war between Russia and Japan mas Deen
a source of anxiety to the Standard OIL Oftlcials
but thus far none of their ships have been
seized by either power.
I'VE have shipped millions of dollars worth
of oil to Japan in the course of this war" said
Mr. Dodd "and we have not had a ship capt
ured. Just now we have very little reason TO
fear for the safety of these shipments. If Rus
sa had a fleet in their path there might be dan
ger We feared for the safety Of shipments
early in the war, and applied to the United
States authorities for protection on the ground
vice of Secretary Hay. however. we awaited
developments, and a seizure has never been
made to bring the matter to a head"
Mr. Dodd often cites rather unusual and strik-
ing incidents illustrative of the development of
New-York tribune., 1905-02-19

fund of interesting incidents he cannot be in
duced to relate those tending in any way to
disclose the tact and ability which have made
his services valuable to the Standard Oil
Company.
In his position of general solicitor for the COM
pany Mr. Dodd has travelled the United
States and has visited foreign countries for the
purpose of comforting with representatives of
various governments about the sale of rights
and oil producing land concessions. In the
course of these travels some highly interesting
incidents have developed Not the least of these
by any means was an occurrence in Bucharest
the capital of Rumania, few years ago.
I'VE had gone there" said Mr.. Dodd, "to ne
gotiate with the Rumanian government about
oil producing privileges. We met the Prime Min
ister and after going over the matter finally
he entered into an agreement with us on behalf
of the Rumanian government We believed the
matter as good as settled, but night about
midnight we were aroused by messenger and
informed that the Cabinet would not agree to
the proposals indorsed by the Prime Minister,
that he would probably be forced to resign, and
that his resignation meant a political revolu-
tion. 1t was pointed out that the only way in
which such a catastrophe could be averted was
negotiations before daylight. This we did, and
the Prime Minister was saved though not for
long. We started for Paris next morning and
upon arrival there learned that his resignation
had been offered and accepted and political
upheaval averted. Subsequent negotiations with
the Rumanian government resulted successfully

STANDARD OIL COUNSEL.
s. &. L. D0dd Tells Some anecdotes
of HIS Career.

To the average person the fact that S. c. T.
Dodd has resigned his post of general solicitor
with the Standard Oil Company means little.
To those familiar with Standard Oil history it
means much.
''Who is S. c. r. Dodd? Never heard of him
before" is the comment of the average person.
1t is because Mr.. Dodd's life work has been,
like his resignation from the post he has held
so long quiet and unObtrusive, devoid of adver-
tisement and show, that such comment is pos
sible. Yet there those in a position to know
who assert that Mr.. DOdd's influence upon the
affairs of Standard Oil has been hardly less than
that of John d. Rockefeller or Henry H. Rogers.
In street vernaC ular, Mr. Dodd has for about
thrty-nine years been to the Standard Oil in
terests the man behind" AS the general so
licitor of the corporation he has led the van in
all it's important legal battles with the skill of
