RATE MOVEMENT
IS GROWING FAST
FOUR STATES WILL SOON
HAVE A TWO CENT RAIL
ROAD RATE.
OHIO IS TO Be An EXAMPLE
Indiana, Missouri and Illinois Are
Waiting to See How New Plan
Works There.
OHIO IS TO Be An EXAMPLE

The movement for a universal two
cent fare is growing rapidly, and
present indications point to such a
rate prevailing in Indiana, Illinois,
and Wisconsin within the next year.
The prediction was made a short time
before the bill was introduced in the
Ohio Legislature, governing fares,
that two cents fares would be the
rate in the four central states, and
everything bears out this prediction.
In this state, the Legislature does
not meet this winter, but when there
is talk of an extra session, rate legis-
lation is brought up in connection
with the Storms case, and it is the
intention to hit both of these in case
a special session is called. In Wiscon-
sin plans are also on foot to make
two cent rate the law, and Illinois
seems. to be in favor of the cheap
fares.
The other states are holding off to
see what will be done in Ohio, in the
way of cutting down service and in
conveniencing passengers. The rail
roads have adopted the cheap rate
without fight and the coast looks
clear to the other states.

HAS AN IDEAL HIDING PLACE

New York, Feb. 15.-John D.
Rockefeller has been found, accord
ing to M. E. Palmedo, the process
server who caught H. H. Rogers and
who has been after Rockefeller for
several weeks. But Palmedo has
not served the subpoena yet.
Mr.. Rockefeller is not hiding in the
shelter of the north pole nor in the
dangerous shade of the southern
palms, according to Palmedo, but in
the home Of his son, the Bible class
teacher, at Pocantico Hills. ,
Mr.. Rockefeller has been at Po-
cantico uninterruptedly, it is said,
since January %, when he went up
from New York under cover of the
night, sequestered in the mansion of
his son, quarter of mile from his
own home, unknown to the process
servers who have been camping out
for three months at Tarrytown.
Pocantico Hills is an ideal hiding
place. There are about 5000 acres,
with steep hills, deep gullies, wind
ing roads, thick hills and stone walls
with unexpected turns. John D.
Rockefeller has a modest sort of a
home there-a very plain but roomy
frame building, painted a dazzling
yellow, resting on base Of fiery red
brick, which nestles at the bottom of
the slope and is easily seen from the
public road. -.... ..' .' &C..
From the house three macadam
driveways run to the most remote
parts of the estate. One OF them,
winding to the north, passes the home
of John d. Jr., a mansion in the old
French renaissance style, the gabled
roof of which, surmounted by tower
can be seen for miles around. Its
approach is hedged with thickly
growing evergreen trees and at the
ront there is a wide circle in which
is flower bed. The house looks big
enough to accommodate a regiment
of process servers. 1t has great,
staring windows with heavy lace cur
tains. I5f@.<t F.. ..
From the house there is a clear
view Of the surrounding country and
the tower affords a still wider sur
vey Of the country. In this tower
one, of Rockfeller's private detec-
tives, it is believed, has been on the
watch for process servers since Jan.
%. With this espionage Mr.. Rock
efeller has been enabled, when the
coast was clear, to saunter over the
estate or indulge his passion for golf
ON the nearby links. , .s't IL ...I
No process man has been able to
get upon the golf links while he has
been disporting on them because
whenever any one who has looked at
all suspicious has come around Mr..
Rockefeller has been warned and a
hurried trip to the house has kept
him safe from the dreaded court
summons. - tt f. '~ss>

ture hat, the MATERIAL for which
cost $3.50, arrived here on the steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm Ii in charge of an
expert who went abroad to buy it and
is intended as wedding gift to Miss
Alice Roosevelt.
c. g. Kurzman brought the hat
from Paris. He was commissioned
by Washington family to go abroad
and select something exceptionally
fine in the millinery line for Miss
Roosevelt. Mr.. Kurzman went first
to London. but finally decided that
what he wanted was to be found in
Paris
Thurman picked up the trimmings
here and there among the higher
grade establishments of the French
capital He purchased two of the
longest ostrich plumes that he could
find, each thirty-three inches long,l
and said to be the biggest plumes ev-
er secured. Then he bought some
Irish applique lace and for the brim
and crown he secured some lace for
merly owned by the empress Joseph
inc, paying $500 for it. Then he
bought pink roses to go around the
crown.
Aside from the $3.50 paid for the
material, the duty will be nearly half
of that sum. Mr.. Kurzman s ex-
penses were more than $3.50. When
his expert services are paid for the
spring hat for Miss Roosevelt will
have cost about $500.

sheriff are rounding up the voters, and,
according to their stories, all are the most

for votes are most fiattering.

didates for Mayor; w. H. Logan, the
incumbent and DIR. G. w Randall. Both
are strong candidates and the race will
be close. DIR. Randall advocates an cleo

water capacity and a general extension of
streets.
