JOHN D. CUTS WAGES.
Head of Standard Finds 1t Necessary
to Economic.

New York, July S1.-John D. Rock
efeller is cutting down his expenses.
Recent benefactions have left a big
hole in his bank account, and the oil
magnate has adopted a policy of re-
trenchment to recoup.
Like most good business men when
they realize that they are living dan
gerously close to their income, Mr..
Rockefeller has begun to cut down his
luxuries. The first of Mr.. Rockefeller's s
luxuries to fall afoul of his new policy
of economy is his Lakewood estate.
Notice has been served on the super
intendent of the estate that his SER
vices will not be required after July
81. and all employees have been in
formed of reduction in wages The
reduction will be from 10 to 20 per
cent.
The superintendent's helpers, who
have been paid $3.50 a day. will have
to be content with $1.25 hereafter. AS
there are five of these men employed
on the golf links and grounds, Mr..
Rockefeller will accomplish a saving
Of $1-25 a day. This, in addition to
the salary reductions among the rest
of the force. will cut as much as 81 a
day out of Mr.. RockefeIler's salary
list This will help to restore Mr..
Roekefeller's income to Its normal

hgure of s1oo.ooo a dav.

ngure OF $1OU,UUU a DAY.
A big saving will be made by the
discharge of the superintendent. He
was paid 500 a month and was an
expensive figurehead, Mr.. Rockefeller
evidently thinks, as he intends in
future to direct personally the care of
his Lakewood estate.
Whether Mr.. Rockefeller's new
policy of retrenchment has been ap-
piled to his other estates has not been
learned but the selection of the Lake
wood estate for an experiment in
economy shows how sadly Mr.. Rookie
feller may be pinched.
Unlike his other estates, the Lake
wood place was not built by Mr..
Rockefeller's own money. He got it
for 1.-THE of its real value. The prop
erty was formerly the Country club,
which was built by George Gould.
The golf links and the club house
were planned by George Gould with
an eye to pleasure and comfort, not to
cost. When Mr.. Gould got the polo
fever and gave up golf a new club
house and grounds were built by him
at Lake Carasaljo, and the Country
club was on the market
After bargaining for a year or two
Mr.. Rockefeller acquired the property
for $4,000, or something less than
one-sixth of what had been put into
the place by Mr.. Gould and his, as
Sociates.

seems that there Is another side of the

time that q delegation has been ON
