The Last Word on Rockefeller.

The eagerly awaited conclusion of Miss
TarbelPs character sketch of John D.
Rockefeller is in McClure's for August.
1t builds upon the foundations laid in
the first paper a clear and interesting es-
innate of the most significant personality
in contemporary affairs.
Eminently calm, giving him always
the benefit of the doubt, the real Rookie
Teller, judged by bis deeds, is examined
and compared with the man John D.
Rockefeller let's the public see in the
Sunday school, ia philanthropy, and in
business activity. His character is barred
of all it's pretences, that the lesson his
life teaches may be plain.
In the years of Miss Tarbell's study of
Standard Oil she has acquired minute
knowledge of John D. Rockefellers bus
mess career which gives her first advan-
tage as his biographer, but it is through
her marvellously rare and. temperate
view point and her training as histor-
ian, that this character sketch becomes
a great and lasting work. The second
paper leaves nothing to be said of John
D. Rockefeller. 1t places him 10 his
final relation to the history of his time.

A Good King.

King Oscar of Sweden will be remem-
bered as one of the greatest monarchs of
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
He is every inch king. He is splen-
did type of manhood physically, tower
ing head and shoulders above the aver
age man, and mentally he is the most
gifted ruler of his day, taking rank
among the great scholars of Europe. A
volume of original poetry given to the
world years ago shows his strength of
imagination and fine artistic sensibilities.
He has been good king. Through all
his long reign he has never broken faith
with his people; he has ruled firmly and
justly. But the nobility of his character
has shone most brig htly since June 7,
when Norway summary dethroned him
as it's king and declared itself free and
independent of Sweden. Instead of seek
ing revenge or retaliation upon Norway,
he condoned it's rather harsh conduct
and is using his great influence with the
Swedish parliament to let the sister
country separate in peace from the old
union. A king of smaller calibre would
have plunged the two countries into war
and sought to compel Norway to undo
it's action of June 7. in order to satisfy
his desire for getting eveu.-Ex.

Insurance News.

Insurance men of the West who read
the daily columns of insurance informa-
ton in The Chicago Record Herald keep
pace with the times and are prepared for
all emergencies and contingencies that
have grown into the insurance business.
The column with Insurance Men" gives
in compact form all the latest doings in
the insurance world, and is conceded by
insurance men everywhere to be the best
and most up-to-date report published by
any newspaper in the United States.
The Record Herald does not copy it's in
formation from insurance journals, but
secures it first hand from managers,
agents and companies, and by telegraph
from its own special correspondents, by
telephone and in special cable dispatches
from abroad. The New York service of
The Record Herald's insurance depart
ment is equaled by no other paper. 10
fact, The Record Herald is the only daily
newspaper that gives insurance men the
first information daily on every impor-
tant event in the insurance business.

IT MAKES the blood of honest people
boil to read the stories Of the inner
workings of the Equitable Life Insur-
ance company. Enough has been re.
vealed to show that the directors Of the
great institution have proved recreant to
their trust. They have had in their
keeping the hard earned money of half
million men who have sought to provide
for their wives and children in case Of
death. The surplus funds they have
turned over to scheming spectators on
Wall street instead of investing them as
safe, sane business men would have
done. Then, too, they have squandered
this money in high salaries to officials,
some of whom have rendered but little
service. Paul Morton, the new chair
man Of the board Of directors, has al
ready Topped off 100000 on the annual
salaries of the officers, and it is safe to
assume that he might have gone farther.
Alexander and Hyde received 100000
each in yearly salaries Is there any rea-
son why fraction of that sum-say
$25,00O-is not sufficient remuneration
for an insurance official? Insurance
companies should be conducted for the
benefit of the insured as we'll as for the
enrichment of the officers. = Hudson

MILWAUKEE county should be congrat
ulated on the manner in which it is
cleaning up graft" and Furnishing the
grafters. 1t ought to teach that class of
petty thieves that Wisconsin is bad
place to get rich at public expense. We
want and must have absolute honesty in
public affairs, both municipal and state.
But the public officials of Milwaukee
county ought not to stop at the petty
thieves and let the big ones go. They
convicted and sentenced Mike Dunn to
the House of Correction for eighteen
months, but what have they done with
the big German brewer who bribed
Dunn? Why should Col. Gustav Pabst,
one of the richest men in Wisconsin, go
scott free when poor man like Dunn
(who probably needed money goes to
jail as shining example for the rest of
the community; but the way of the
transgressor is hard Is it for political
reasons that the district attorney fails
to perform his duty; or is it because he
has been subsidized by he breweryman?
We in the country cannot understand
why one class of men should be prose-
cuted and others equally guilty should
be protected. Milwaukee, explain, or do
Justice to all alike.

ANGELS BACK IN
WINNING FORM
TAKE ANOTHER GAME FROM
PORTLAND
Cravath Gets His Usual Homo Run and
NagIe TwirIs Excellent Ball, Hold
Ing Webfooters Safe at
All Stages
Los Angeles 6, Portland I

It's a dull day for business when
Cravath fails to get home run. Yes
terday was no exception to the rule.
neither was Cravath, as he put the ball
over the fence for the usual four
bagger.
incidentally, the Angels won again.
Nagle was on the hill and his slants
were too enigmatical for the Exposition
city aggregation. While they were able
to bingle safely seven times they
couldn't get more than one hit into an
inning except in the eighth, when they
made one run and STAYED off a shut
out.
The spectators were treated to an un-
usual game yesterday, neither of the
teams showing at all in the error
column. This was in direct contrast to
the previous days performance, and the
natural result was an Angelic victory.
No school boy tactics were indulged
in by the Morleyites as on the day be-
fore and a few points nearer to the
coveted and must-be-had rag is the
reward.
The sign of four was such a good
omen for Judge Mercedes bunch on
Thursday that Cap Dillon tried 1t with
equal success yesterday. -Four runs in
the initial inning was the guide post set
up in that early stage of the game to
indicate that two defeats in succession
would not be tolerated.
Fills Bases
Bernard started the fireworks with a
single to the infield. Floods eagle eye
was rewarded by free pass to the key
stone pillow and Kitty Brashear
singled, filling the stations.
Dillon forced Brashear and Bernard
scored on the play. Cravath posed and
was given free ticket to first. Ross
went out, Flood scoring on the play.
Toman watched the twisters bend
and when four wide ones strolled across
the pan he walked to first. filling the
bags for the third time in the inning.
Bobby Eager drove a pretty single to
right, which permitted Dillon and Cra-
vath to finish the round trip at the
home plate. Nagle made the third out.
soaring to Schlafiy.
The Angels scored again in the third.
Cap Delon doubled to right but was
forced by Cravath. Ross hit to Sweeney
and Cravath tried for home, Sweeney
threw to the plate. but Van Buren,
obligingly fumbled, allowing Gravy to
register.
Another tally was scored in the fifth
when Cravath lost the ball over the left
field fence. This common, everyday
occurrence for Gravy permitted him to
wander from pillow to post until he
tripped over the pie pan and registered
the final run made by the Angelic ban J.
Portland's only score came in the
eighth. Atz singled to left and Me-
Creedie went out. Flood to Dillon. Van
Buren, went out to Flood. During ali
this time Atz was gradually worming
his way nearer to the home plate, and
when Mitchell put a safety TO left Atz
walked into home.
This afternoon the Angels tie up with
Mercedes bunch for the final game
of the series. and Dolly Gray is slated
to do the twirling. This is sufficient
excuse for the prediction that the Sun
day hoodoo will be choked to death for
once.
The fatalities are thusly recorded:

DUFFY EXPLAINS CONFESSION
Denies That He Has overstepped the
Prescribed Rules for Amateur
Athletics
s. ". C.
By Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Nov. ARTHUR F..
Duffy, against whom charges OF pro-
fessionalsm were made In the recent
statement issued by Bernard MacFad-
den, yesterday denied in toto the state
ments made and repudiated them as
unauthorized and incorrect.
Bernard MacFadden could not be seen
yesterday, but his representative said
that the article, when written, was sup
posed to have been submitted to Duffy
before publication, but that through
some error Duffy had no cognlzance OF
it and that Mr.. MacFadden would re-
tract his reference TO Duffy's status
and stamp them as unfounded in fact.
Duffy admitted that the practices
which he characterized as evils were
practiced by him. He simply says: II
have done nothing which the letter OF
the law proscribes." Continuing, he
declared:
There Is no line of demarkation be-
tween the star amateur and the de-
clared professional. Under the guise Of
expenses, star amateurs receive
amounts of money sufficient to make
their participation in athletics profitable
and still cannot be disqualified under

DATE WITH TWIN SULLIVAN

BOB FITZsIMMoNs
Mccarey Receives Telegram From the
PhiIadeIphian, Asking to Be Re-
leased From Los Angeles Engage
ment-Burns May Be Substituted

Tom McCarey received a telegram
from Jack O'Brien yesterday afternoon
in which the Philadelphia announced
that he was matched to fight Bob
Fitzsimmons and would cancel his
local date.
McCarey was anticipating this move
and tWenty-four hours previously sent
an offer to Jack Twin Sullivan al
Frisco to meet Tommy Burns on No
vember 2S.
1t is believed that Twin will accept
the offer and give Burns a return
match. These two will draw probably
as good audiences as would the Sulli-
van-OBrien MILL as the Philadelphia
has suffered a slump in popularity with
the local fight fans because of the
shabby manner in which he handed it
to McCarey.
Burns comes through with a neat
little talk which has won friends for
him. He says that while not wishing
to detract from the full fruits of his
defeat by Twin Sullivan, he is of the
opinion that the speedy reducing pro-
gram followed by him affected his
fighting ability and he was not able to
scrap with the same ability that he
would have done under other condi-
tions.
Both these battlers have many
friends in Los Angeles and Southern
California who really want to witness
another mill between them under con-
ditions more favorable to a thorough
testing of the claims of superiority.
McCarey expects to have an accept
ance from Twin today and should he
not be disappointed, final arrangements
will be pushed for bringing these two
together on the Bren-Sullivan date.
