A NEW SCHEME,
Rhode Island Concern Wants to Buv
Names Short HOLSTERS.

Portsmouth, N. H.. Feb. 2I.-A plan
whereby Holsters under the legal linz
1t OF lO1a inches in Maine may be sold
TO a steamer operated by a Providence
company which would sell them in
Rhode Island, where the limit is ONLY
nine inches. was disclosed in this city
by a letter received by a local fish
dealer from newly formed Providence
company. The letter inquired if the
arrangements could not be made with
the lobster men to meet the steamer
outside the harbors at regular times
and deliver their catch.
Opinion among the local fishermen
who set traps along the Maine coast.
is divided on the merits of the plan.
Some hold that the authorities would
Keep too sharp lookout to make the
scheme work successfully. and that be-
SIDES the already scanty supply of
Holsters would be too rapidly dimin-
ished.
Others maintain that it is hard t.
make living at lobster fishing nova
days and that in the cases of smaller
operators great deal of the profit
comes in surreptitious sales of Short"
Holsters to summer people and that the
new plan would furnish a better mar
ket.

New York, Feb. 21.-The magnitude
Of John ID. Rockefeller's fortune was
developed in an inquiry here today.
In reply to a question Frederick T..
Gates. Mr.. Rockefeller's business rep
resentative said:
'There have been a great many
amusing misstatementS on this sub
ject. Several years ago Senator Hoar
in the Senate credited Mr.. Rockefeller
with fortune of $1.000,00O,000. Quite
recently statement has been made
and published widely throughout the
country that his annual income ex-
ceeds S100.000000 Now the facts are
that Mr.. Rockefeller has at various
times himself authorized a statement
that his fortune cannot exceed $780,
100000 to s300,0O0,OOO Furthermore
his income, instead of being S10O, OO0,-
600 or anything like it cannot in his
most prosperous year have exceeded
S15.OOO.OO0 to s20,OOO,OOO. The public
generally are under the impression
that he owns majority of the Stand
ard Oil stocks. The facts are that Mr.
Rockefeller's holdings of Standard Oil

Capt. Parkinson, who appears 10 be the
sole survivor of the wreck, was on his
way to Amsterdam to Join his vessel. the

Parkinson hurried to The bridge to offer
Capt Precious his help, but gust as ne
put his foot OH the ladder he saw the cap

seas.
OF what followed Capt. Parkinson can
not give a clear account. When he re-
covered himself he was in the water sur
rourced by floating tim5ers. One CT these
he seized and he succeeded in keeping
afloat until he saw tie lifeboat His crv

up and brought ashore. He was taken TO
the Hook Station and removed thence to
a hotel He was in the icy storm-lashec
water tor about an hour.
Capt. Parkinson was almost in tears
as he recited what he had seen before
being swept away by the waves.
On the foredeck of the Berlin at the
moment OF the disaster there were about
100 persons. all of whom were hurled into
the sea. While Capt. Parkinson was IN

He was constantly swept against floating

The burgomaster of Hook of Holland

I'LL FIX RA TES
INTERSTATE COMMIS SION BE-
GINS ON WESTERN LINES
ATE CASE DEMANDS ACTION
Great Northern and Northern Pac fio
Lines First to Have Valuations
Made by Roosevelt Plan.

Washington, D. c., April 2e.-The
interstate commerce commission will
in all likelihood have to make vallp
alton of its own Of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads
before 1t con finally dispose of the
famous Spokane rate case. Even II
congress takes no action toward gen.
eral legislation for the valuation OF
the railroads, the question of the
value of these great Hill properties
enters so largely into the determine
ton of the Spokane case that 1t Is diff
flcult to see how the commission can
avoid fixing on what they are worth
before 1t settles the justice or injus-
tice of the freight rates from eastern
points to Spokane.
1t is not at all improbable the COM
mission will be compelled to go ahead,
without any particular authority from
congress on the subject of valuation,
and determine various mooted ques-
tons as to what constitutes a proper
valuation of railroad. To arrive at
any sort of proper valuation of the
Hill lines In this case, the commission
would have to set some important
precedents regarding the general
question Of what railroad is worth.
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Prouty has just returned from Port
land, Ore, where he heard testimony
In the Spokane rate case. This hear
Ing closed the taking Of testimony
and in June arguments on the case
will be heard before the commission.
At the same time arguments on the
important Denver rate case, involving
many similar questions, will be heard
The testimony given ait Portland re-
lated chiefly to the question of the
value of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific lines, and In this
connection interesting matter was set
forth. Some testimony on the valua-
ton Of the Northern Pacific was
given at the Chicago hearing. but at
the Portland hearing there was testi-
mony on the valuations of both lines.
Expect engineers appeared for the
Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cific, and at the same time expert
engineers were on the stand for the
city of Spokane.
The valuation question arises be-
cause of the contention of the city of
Spokane that the rates to Spokane
from eastern points are too high. both
as compared with rates from like
eastern points for greater distance
to the Pacific coast, ana absolutely,
and that the Hill lines have been earn
Ing more than the value OF the road
