LAKEWOOD, N. J., April disguised
as woman, John d. Rockefeller is said
to have taken several automobile out
ings around Lakewood while Hadleys S
subpoena servers were searching for him
there and at his New York and Pontiac
residences. 1t may be that 1t was In
this masquerade that Rockefeller first es-
capped to Lakewood.
A strange woman in the Rockefeller
automobile was observed by many neigh
bors passing along the roads leading to
Mr. Rockefeller's Lakewood Country
home almost every fine afternoon in the
two weeks prior to ST. Patrick's Day
"She" was dressed all in black, with
round black hat, and her features hidden
by a heavy veil, seemed to be strong and
masculine ''She'' had abundant gray
hair. This person seemed to be too tall
for a woman, although she sat rather
''hunched down.
No woman at all like the lady In
the limousine" has been visiting the
Rockefellers. Mrs. Rockefeller is short
and rather dumpy of figure and she don't
wear black.
The conjecture that 1t was Rockefeller
in disguise might have been dismissed

one and the elevator was of an old pat

1t wss not a difhcalt matter for the po-
licemen and those who assisted them to
chop away the roof, and Hooker, by this
time unconscious from pain, was lowered
to the floor and carried to the street An
ambulance had previously been called and
the injured man was hurried TO the Har-
Dor Emergency Hospital.
When an examination was made it was
found that Hooker's right leg was badly
crushed just below the hip, and it is not
likely that it will have to be amputated.
His left leg is fractured and he suffers
excruciating pain.
When Hooker recovered consciousness.
he made the following statement: Il
went into the building last evening for
the purpose of securing my mail. en-
tered the front door, and, as the elevator
was not running, / walked TO the fourth
floor, where my office is located. When

and the elevator being at this floor,
thought of riding down in it. There was
no one else in the building at the time,
and 1 had locked the front door.

but the machine was moving too quickly
for me, and before l could clear the dis
tance the base Of the machine caught my
legs, pinioning me against the ceiling

took my watch out OF my pocket and
tried to throw 1t out of the window, that
I might attract attention from the street
I could not use enough force, and the
timepiece fell on the floor in front of me.
The blood was rushing to my head, and
the pain caused a fainting sensation to
overcome me.
They say I was only in there an hour,
but 1t seemed an eternity to me. All I
remember is that I finally abandoned
hope, and at times my voice had no power
to call. I remember shouting, for what
believed to be the last time. when

A number of rich New York mer-
chants are said to be interested in the

clare. will involve the employment of
$4,000 soldiers and the expenditure of
$5,000,000 in the campaign under which
President Castro, if the plans do not go
astray, is to be either expelled or de-
stroyed and a native Venezuelan states
man is to be installed as his successor.
In this connection it is said that
Castro, anticipating a successful revolu-
tion against him sooner or later, has
converted some of his alleged $4.000,000
fortune into cash and has sent 1t to
America and France.
Carlos B. Fuegerdo, Consul in New
York. said last night at his home that
he had heard such an expedition IVES

had been unable to learn anything def
mite about it. He said he had under
stood shares in the scheme were being
sold.
II would like to get hold of one of
those shares he said Il will buy all
that are offered" The Consul inquired
eagerly as to the point the expedition
was to sail from. ~
The expedition is to set out shortly
from Europe in three large steamships
which are already under contract. They
are to carry about 5000 volunteers. with
the following quantities of arms and
ammunition: Eight thousand Mauser

vote to take no further orders from the

FATALLY BEATEN
BY FOOTPADS

INDIO, April 1-What will probably re-
suit In murder occurred here tonight
when Jacob Herzikopf of I'LL San Pedro
street, Los Angeles, was held up and
cruelty beaten by tramps. Herzikopf, who
had been on a business trip to Coachella,
started to walk to Indio, a distance Of
about three miles, intending to reach here
before darkness overlook him. On the
way he presumably was set upon by two
young men, who beat him over the head
with an iron rod or some other hard
weapon until he fell unconscious, when
the footpads rified his pockets, securing
about SIS.
About o'clock the victim of the as
sault reused himself and wandered into
Indio, and as soon as he was noticed was
taken to the Emergency Hospital of the
Southern Pacific. He was in a dazed con-
dition and could give very poor account
Of the terrible beating he must have re-
ceived.
The back of Herzikoffs head is pounded
to jelly, and it is expected that he will
die during the night. In his pockets were
found a receipt for money paid out at
Coachella and checkbook on the Mer-
chants National Bank of Los Angeles.
