HIS NAME IS JOHN.
And He Is the Right Hand Man Of
John D. Rockefeller.

And He Is the Right Hand Man Of
John D. Rockefeller.
.Who is John D. Rockefeller's right
hand MANI"
This is a question that is asked every
day. The answer is generally that FL.
Fl. Rogers fills this unique position.
That is not SO. Rogers may be one of
ROckefeller's greatest financial aids,
but his fright hand man" is seldom If
ever heard of. His name is John. OF
course he has surname, but 1t has
seldom IL ever been heard by those
who visit Rockefeller. For years the
same mystery obtained about Mr.. Lat
ia, the official stenographer to Presi-
dent Roosevelt He was always re-
ferred to as Mr.. Latta, and not until
a year ago did the public learn his first
name.
John is really Mr.. Rockefellers most
confidential employee. His duties are
varied and embrace the work of ev-
erything from private secretary to
valet If there is anything any one in
the Rockefeller household wants to
know, John usually knows it when no
one else does.
He came from Switzerland and went
to work for Rockefeller in a minor ca
pacity some years ago. The fact that
he was saving, level headed and al
ways on hand when wanted made a
strong impression on the great f1nan-
,cier.
Today Mr.. Rockefeller seldom goes
anywhere without him. IL Rockefeller

CRIME IN BALDWIN
UNKNOWN MAN ATTEMPTS TO AS
sAULT THREE LADIES.


Mobile, May 17.-(SpeciaL)--A das-
tardly attempt at criminal assault
which occurred at Barnwell four miles
east Of Point Clear in Baldwin county
tuesday night has reached Mobile. Mrs.
Henry Bishop of Barnwell, Mrs. Mamie
Norton of Demopolis and Miss Amelia
Lombard of Barnwell were returning
to Mrs. Bishops residence from the
postoffice. when a man jumped from
behind stump and grabbed Miss Lom-
bard and tried to pull her to the
ground. She hung on to Mrs. Norton
and the two went to the ground to-
gether.
The assault occurred within sight of
Charles Bishops house and scarcely
an eighth of mile from the S1ocum
residence. Mr.. Slocum and members of
his family heard the screams of the
frightened women and hurried to the
scene of the assault. The assailant
made his escape on the approach of the
rescuing party and a most dfligent
search which was Immediately organ
ICED failed to discover him.
Though thevillain did not succeed
in accomplishing his design Miss Lom-
bard was so badly frightened and
stunned by the assault that 1t was
some time before she regained con-
seriousness and 1t was only by heroic
efforts that her life was saved. For
time it was thought that Miss Lombard
was dead.
The only clue that the ladies have as
to the identity of the assailant was
the fact noticed that he had very large
hands and a man of above medium size
and in running his tread was very
heavy and awkward. The night was
so dark that the ladies could not dis
Germ whether he was white or ne
gro.
There are no bloodhounds in that
part of the county so 1t was impossible
to get any trace of the assailant.
The neighborhood of Barnwell is
very quiet and peaceful and the people
were very much stirred up over the
attempted crime. The news was
brought co Mobile this morning by e.
@. Norton, editor of The Daphne Stand
ard.

Cannot Force Tag Law.

Joseph Stone, a local contractor, who
was arrested yesterday for failing to
secure an Identification tag for his au-
tomobile when told to do SO by a po-
lice officer, appeared in Recorders
Court this morning and was sustained
by Judge Clarke in his contention that
the city had no authority to compel
Inn to pay IS for a tag which really
cost but 4 few cents.
Officer Camp. who arrested Stone.
stated that he had noticed the latter's
machine without the Identification tag
and had notified him to secure one.
Later the machine was again seen
without the tag and Stone was ar
rested
Stone admitted these facts and based
his defense on the plea that his au-
tomobile was not used to deliver mer-
chandise or for the purpose of hire to
the public. and so the city authorities
did not have the right to force him to
pay license on 1t for this reason. He
argued further that If 1t were not for
the purpose of imposing a tax the city
certainly did not have the right to
force him to pay IS for a tag which
cost the city only a few cents.
Judge Clarke concurred with the de-
PENDANT in his opinion and continued
the case, stating that If he applied to
the Chief of Police or City Tax Col
lector for a tag. offering to pay them
the actual cost of the same, the case
would be dismissed, regardless OF
whether or not these officials saw fiji
to furnish the tag.
