tary Exile.

Lakewood NJ. J. March 19.-Has
John d. Rockefeller's mind given way
as q result of the tense nervous strain
he has suffered for year or more?
Has he withdrawn from his busl-
ness and church connections and gene
into voluntary exile because Of mental
trouble?
These and similar que tions Lake
wood folks have been asking each 9th
er for the last few doys. When armed
guards suddenly appeared on the
grounds about three weeks ago and
soon after that heavy timber gates
were erected at each entrance to ex
clude yistsrs, it caused great deal
of talk in the village.
Up to February 8 last, when Mr..
Rockefeller is supposed to have ar
rived here visitors were permitted TO
drive on the grounds and riding part
les enjoyed gallops over the roads that
stretch in every direction through
the several hundred acrec of the Rock
ofeller estate Without any explana-
tion from the employees of the place,
these privileges We're withdrawn and
visitors were roughly ordered away by
men who carried long sticks and
whose vocabulary was limited 10 one
word, Cit"
Searchl'ehts are Used.
At night three big searchlightf
sweep every nook and corner of the
grounds at frequent intervals for the
detection of intruders.
Worry over the conditions of his
daughter, Mrs. Charles A. Strong, who
has been in South France for the last
two wears undergoing treatment for
mental trouble Is said to have brought
Mr.. Rockefeller to ftate bordering
on mental collapse. Mrs. Strcng is his
eldest daughter and he is extremely
fond of her. Mrs. Strong, who Is now
at Cannes, France. has the delusion
that she is n dire poverty The aoiest
pecialists in France and Germany
have been attending her.
MIR. and Mrs. Strong Occupied a cot
tage on the Lake Drive here for three
seasons and Mr.. Rockefeller made his
home with them before he bought the
country club property and converted 1t
INTO residence. He bought the Cla-
ain cottage and presented 1t to his
daughter. For two seasons the cot
tage has been occupied by care-taker

Mrs. Strong caused much comment
in Lakewood thre years ago when she
suddenly withdrew from the cottage
society, declaring az reason she
could not afford to give teas and SINH
lar entertainments
Mrs. Strong devoted her elf TO such
measures of economy as dveing her
children's dresses and making them
over.
Curious stories were told bv trades
men of the village as to her parsimony
IN making purchases. She bought
snaringlv of necessities and they
were doled out with care to the ser
wants.
Mrs. Rockefeller who regularly at
tended the Baptist church was not
present at the services today. Mrs.
Rockefellers secretary, Miss Antoin'
ette Adams, assured newspapermen
this afternoon that Mrs Rockefeller
was rot i'll. She absolutely declined
to say anything about Mr.. Rockefel
