LAKEWOOD, N. j., April 11.-sev-
eral Incidents that have occurred on
his estate here have now made spec
ulation as to the precise location of
John D. Rockefeller a matter of sec
ondary consideration. Chief of these is
the advent into the personnel of the
Rockefeller servants of pretty Swiss
milkmaid.
All Lakewood is today talking about
Jessie, for that is her name. 1t was
learned that the newly arrived milk
maid had been hired to take the place
of Gustav Lukens, who, until his resig-
nation week ago, enacted the dual
role of golf links tender and mixer of
the Jersey COW on the Rockefeller es-
tate.
Mr.. Rockefeller learned several
months ago that Lukens' duties on the
links consumed only four hours day
of his time. He thereupon ordered
Lukens to add to his duties the daily
milking of the Jersey COW that sup
plies the Rockefeller household. Lu-
kens obeyed and continued to discharge
his dual duty with milk pail and lawn
mower until a week ago, when the
COW he was milking kicked the bucket
and came near making Lukens do the
same. The loss of whole days milk
and two teeth preyed upon Lukens'
mind until he sent in his resignation
to Mr. Rockefeller. Then came Jessie.

WASHINGTON April 11.-Senator
Clark of Montana was asked today re-
garding the report that his railroad
might be extended to San Diego from
Los Angeles.
He said: THE secretary of the San
Diego chamber of commerce wrote to
me suggesting that our road be ex-
tended and / replied l would consider
the matter. / have written my brother,
]. Ross Clark, requesting him to look
into questions of routes, terminals and
business in sight. He is we'll acquainted
with the general situation. 1t would
not be desirable to parallel the Santa
F'e, but if there is another route that
will open up new country and if busi-
ness prospects warrant we may make
surveys. We are after business wher-
ever it Offers"
Senator Clark said his line from Las
Vegas would reach Bullfrog by the
middle of May and would extend to
other Nevada fields.
He said the Nevada fields We're much
better than his preliminary reports in
dicated, and that railroad building
would be active there.

Special to The Herald.

SAN DIEGO, April 11.-Dame rumor
has it tonight that the marriage of T.
Mackinson Sanders, the new manager
of the Lower California Development
company and of the Mexican Land and
Colonization company, and Edith
Made Sturges. the rich widow of a
mining man, formerly of Ell Paso, is to
take place in the near future.
Mrs. Sturges has been quite promi-
nent in society affairs of this city for
several years and the fact that she
was left with fortune in her own
name made it possible for her to en-
tertain largely.
Mr.. Sanders came out here from Eng
land as the manager of the Lower
California companies, succeeding ]. II.
Packard, who had been the manager
for several years.
He is at present in Ensenada and
could not be reached for confirma-
ton of the report, but friends of his

Government Losing Money
BY Associated Press.

BY ASSOCIated PTeSS,
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE pres
ent prospects are. according to the
views now obtaining at the navy de-
partment. that the battleship Connec-
ticut, being constructed by the govern
ment at the New York navy yard, will
not only cost approximately 100000
more than her sister ship, the Louis
lana. being built by private contract,
but that the government will lose the
race which has been on since the build
ing of the two big ships was begun.
Just how much longer it may take to

been for the last few days, and that the
ashes are much finer and from this
1t is argued that the prospects are
much brighter.
The blockade of local traffic continues
but service on the main lines of rail-
way has been re-established, although
greatly disarranged by the indescrib-
| able confusion in the stations, where
/ foreigners, not wholly understanding
the situation, inveigh against the de-
lays and dscomforts to which they
have been subjected.
The distress among the tens of
thousands of fugitives is APPALLING. The
lgovernment has forwarded supplies of
! food and money, several of the italian
cities are contributing money for the
assistance of the sufferers. More help
is needed.
King Victor Emmanuel has placed
the royal palace of Cappo di Monti,
situated above the city, at the dis
posal of the wounded refugees. and
early in the day announced his inten-
ton of returning to Naples from Rome
In order to personally direct the relief
work.
Ovation Given King and Queen
The news caused much satisfaction
and when their majesties reached Ma
enthusiastic greeting. The king and
queen visited the sufferers in the hos
pital and were heartily cheered as
they passed through the streets. AL
though the report that Sarno has been
destroyed has been denied, it is now
officially admitted that Ottojano has
been burned. The number of killed
there and in the surrounding villages
is not known, but 300 it is believed
will be low estimate.
Even Capri, a small island off the
coast of Campania, nineteen miles
south of Naples, a favorite resort for
tourists and artists, has been covered
with ashes and has been abandoned by
it's foreign population, which included
several Americans.
lndescribabIe Ruin
The magnitude of the disaster is all
most indescribable. Mt. Vesuvius has
spread desolation and terror over an
immense tract of country.
Some of the difficulties encountered
by the authorities in obtaining ac-
curate knowledge of the situation may
be gained from the fact that Minister
of Finance Salandra and Under Sec
retary of State DenaVa were blockaded
at Torra Annunziata by ash heaps
and were compelled to go to Castella-
mar in an automobile, reaching that
place with great difficulty. They
hoped to get boat at Castellamar to
take them from there to this city but
even the fishermen refuse to run the
risk of crossing the bay of Naples, as
thew would have to pass Mt. Nesu-
vius, which is situated about half way
hetween Castellamar and Naples.
The train which brought Premier
sonnino here today from Rome was
considerably delayed by ashes.

PosToFFIcE BILL IN HOUSE
Measure Was More Thoroughly Dis
cussed Than Any in Years

WASHINGTON, April 11.-After
nearly ten days of general debate with
the postoffice appropriation bill as the
vehicle for discussion of a wide range
of subjects, the house late today
reached the consideration of the bill
itself, an hour having been given to
the reading of the measure. Not in
years has there been heard so much
talk on any one appropriation bill under
the fiction of general debate" as the
house listened to on the bill so seriously
taken up for amendment and passage.
There were number of lively debates
during the day, but little progress was
made with the bill under the five min
ute rule.
Shortly before o'clock general de-
bate on the bill was concluded and the
begun.
Mr. Sulzer of New York took the floor
in behalf of Marcus Braun, who, he
said, had just resigned from his recent
appointment as immigrant INSPECTOR
The reason for his resignation, he de-
clared, was that he had not been
vindicated properly by the secretary of
state. In reply to the Sulzer resolution
for all papers in the case. he said the
secretary had withheld one letter from
Consul Chichester at Budapest, with
no explanation as to why the letter
had been suppressed. He criticized the
presidents dismissal of Ambassador
Storrer by cable as an unprecedented
occurrence"
Bill Laid Aside
At 4:50 o'clock the postoffice az
preparation bill was laid aside.
The following bills We're passed:
To amend an act entitled IAN act to
amend and codify the laws relating to
municipal corporations in the district
of Alaska"
Granting the city of Durango, Colo,
certain lands for reservoir purposes.
Mr.. Suzer of New York made a
strong plea for congressional action in

"It is a sacrilege," Mr.. SuIzer said,

SENATOR RAPS SECRETARY OF
INTERIOR
Mr.. Newlands Appointed conferee on
Statehood Bill - Watch Trust
Again Ventilated In the
House
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 11-When the
senate met today a resolution of the
Illinois legislature indorsing the per-
manent retention of the Isle of Pines
as American territory was read.
The following bills were passed:
Authorizing the allotment of land
to natives of Alaska; prohibiting the
use or diving apparatus in the taking
OF sponges; authorizing the state of
montana to select lieu lands; prohibit
ING Aliens from gathering sponges in
american waters; granting land on
Morton island in Snake river. Oregon.
TO that state of fish hatchery.
Mr.. Newlands was appointed con-
lefee on the statehood bill to take the
place of Mr.. Patterson, who is en- route
to Colorado.
In response to request of Mr.. Till
man to fix taking of vote of the rate
Dill, Mr.. Aldrich expressed the opinion
that before the end of the week the
speeches would be so far disposed of as
TO enable the senate to forsee the end
of general discussion.
The senate then took up the report
of the conference committee for the
settlement of the affairs of the five
civilized tribes of Indians. Mr.. Teller,
Mr.. Clapp, Mr.. Dubois and Mr.. Nc
Cumber defended the action of the
committee.
TiIIman Hits Hitchcock
Mr Tlllman said that if the secre-
tary OF the interior had permitted him
self to be duped in the matter of the
payment of the Indians, he was not
lit for his place. He contended that
the suits for the recovery of money
rltory and bamboozled the govern
ment.
THE question:" he said, replying to
Clapp. sis whether some lawyer has
not come up here from Indian ter
ritory and bamboozled the govren-
ment."
IF the senator has been bamboozled
1t was when he was asleep at the
switch and let the provision go
through the senate originally" re-
sponded Mr.. Clapp sharply
IF the senator from South Carolina
has been asleep at the SWITCH" said
Mr. Tillman, just as pointedly, at was
when this bill was stolen from his
committee by your committee. The
bill should have been considered by
the committee on the five civilized
tribes, of which I am chairman"
That" Mr.. Clapp said in reply,
would have been a sorry spectacle"
Apology Not Accepted
Further along Mr. Tillman declared
that the senate conferees had sur
rendered at the first chance. This
statement Mr.. Clapp challenged as
unfair" saying that they had held
out for two or three days. "The facts
don't bear the senator out" he said.
Il beg your pardon" said Mr.. Tillman,
but the Minnesota senator did not ac-
cept the apology.
ut is not sufficient" said Mr. Clapp.
The senator should get his facts
straight"
Mr.. Tillman would not accept the
opinion that the house would continue
to stand out for provision so palpably
unjust.
ut stinks to heaven of too much that
is rotten. and ought to go out" he de-
clared.
Without disposing of the report, the
senate at 4:5O p. m, adjourned.

NAPLES, April 11.-This has been a
disquieting day in Naples. The peo-
pie, alarmed by what has happened
have deserted their shops and the man.
ufactories are nearly all closed. The
crowds are in temper for any ex-
cess. 1t would only require spark
to start a confagration.
The arrival of King Victor Emmanuel
and Queen Helena has done much to
restore calm. They have been received
with great joy, especially when the
sovereigrs left hospital after a Visit
to the wounded there. One poor wom-
an exclaimed II would consent to be
wounded for the sake of being kissed
by the queen"
Others cannot find words in which to
express their gratitude. Both the
royal palaces of Cappo di Monti and
San Fernando have been given up to
refugees.
Reports of the destruction of two
towns, Sarno and San Genarro, the
former having a population of more
than 5000, have proved to be without
foundation. At Sarno 5000 persons
from nearby villages and farms have
found refuge. Ottajano, where many
lives were lost on Monday, is now
practically buried.
Difficult to Get News
There is great difficulty in ascertain
ing the actual conditions of affairs
in that part of the district nearest the
volcano. The tramway and railroad
tracks are deep under sand and ashes
and the roads are obliterated, and even
the fishermen who ply their calling on
the Bay of Naples are afraid to VEN
ture out on the water anywhere in the
vicinity of VesuVius.
All these conditions make 1t difficult
to give an intelligent estimate of the
loss of property. one estimate Is that
$40, 600 damage has been done, and
that $4,000 persons have been rendered
homeless. Everywhere in Naples and
Castellemare, and in the lesser towns
near by out of the danger zone, are
beggared refugees. who only a few
days ago We're prosperous and happy,
though living almost underneath the
shadow of the perpetual menace-the
volcano of Mount Vesuvius. For these
people whose homes and crops have
been destroyed there is little consola-
tion in the statement of scientists that
the valleys and hillsides
will become as safe as ever they were.
Until communication has been
restored and search made in the houses
in the afflicted district can be made
IL will be impossible to determine how
many people have perished by this
eruption.
Vast Sahara Desert
The whole of the Vesuvius district
as far as Naples, Caserta and Castela-
mar is one vast Sahara desert. Reports
tonight from all sides state that the

| SAN DIEGO, April 11.-An accident
at La Jolla resulted in the death today
of Antonio Barbarich. recently from
Santa Catalina island, and narrow
escape of ten tourists who were with
him in a glass bottomed boat.
The tourists were not known to the
people at La Jolla save that William
Filter and wife of Chicago, Miss Emma
M. Hayden of Dubuque, Mrs. e. r.
Weeks and Miss Anna L. Weeks of
Spokane were in the party.
They had all gone to spend the day
at the resort and started on trip in
one of the glass-bottomed boats which
is one of the features of a visit there
that is not neglected. Antonio Bar
barich was boatman in charge and the
usual trip was being made success
fully.
They were skirting along close to the
surf at the Devils Slide with the boat
under full control, when one of the
thole pins broke
The surf carried the boat into dam

Jumps to Death
Barbarich jumped into the water
with a line hoping to save it from de-
struction, but was carried from his
feet and was crushed between the boat
and the rocks.
Another La Jolla visitor. who would
not give his name, but who was from
Philadelphia, jumped into the water
and helped two of the women to land
ing place in the rocks and also drew
Barbarich out of the water,
With the assistance of others they
helped the rest of the pleasure party
on shore.
Barbarich was taken to the bath
house but he was too far gone to be
revived All of the ribs on one side
We're crushed and the shock probably
rendered him incapable of aiding HIM
self in the water.
He was an Austrian, thirty years of
age and well known at Catalina and
other southern resorts as a strong boat
man and n fearless man in the water.
He has a brother in Seattle.
