MILWAUKEE,. September %. - "Mv

This was the smiling answer Of Percy
Rockefeller. son Of William Rockefeller
when asked to make some reply to structures
of his uncle. Frank Rockefeller, upon his
other uncle. John D. Rockefeller. and bis
father for their alleged Ill treatment of
his grandfather. Mr.. Rockefeller was ar
the meeting of the Chicago. Milwaukee and
st. Paul
The reporter prefaced his question with
an apology. but Mr.. Rockefeller laughingly
assured the newspaper man that he would
not be offended.
That's all right" he said, You news
paper men seem to have a right to ask any
old question you want to. Go ahead. and II
l can answer YOU I'll do SO willingly
"Well you know your uncle Frank
Rockefeller. not long ago said some pretty
caustic things about your father and your

WILL CALL LEGISLATURE.
Governor Of Alabama Wants Some
More Anti-Railroad Laws.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, September 23-
Gov. Conner said Saturday that he would
be absent from the state from October l
to October s attending the waterways con-
vention at Memphis and St. Louis, and
that he expected to be. back in Alabama
about October T. on which date he expects
to issue call for an extra session Of the
legislature to convene thirty days later
The governor said:
1.-The purpose of this extra session Is to
determine who controls this state. the peo-
pie or the railroads. Some people say that
they are economical when such .tremen-
dous consequences attach to the meeting.
1T seems very strange that the. rail-
roads are not willing to give to the people
of Alabama without fierce contest and
stubborn opposition a part of what they
have conceded to other states. For In
stance In many states twO-cent passen-
ger rates have been established by law and
the railroads have acqufesced. Lower
freight rates and stricter legislation than
our laws call for have been put into effect
and the railroads are Obeying the laws.
and vet here in Alabama we find an un-
reasonable opposition on the part of some
of the roads to grant us part Of what has
been granted to the people of other states. -
The governor said that next week he
would send out letter to every member
of the legislature informing him of his
purpose to call an extra session.
1t is said that an effort may be made
to have prohibition of liquor traffic in
cluded In the call for the extra session.

PACIFIC CABLE BREAKS.
Gave Out on Friday Between Midway
Island and Guam.

NEW YORK. September 23.-The officers
of the Commercial Cable Company an
nounced yesterday that there had been a
break in their Pacific cable somewhere be-
tween the relay stations at Midway Island
and Guam They were inclined to think
that an earthquake may have been respon-
sible for the interruption in the cable serv-
ice, but in the absence of all wo-d from,
the operators at Guam they could not as
sign a cause positively.
The cable that goes under the Pacific
from San Francisco to Yokohama and the
Philippines via Honolulu. Midway and
Guam went dead on Friday. Midway, which
lies between Honolulu and Guam. reported
that the spark went out of the SUBJ
marine wires without warning and that
all efforts to communicate with Guam had
been unavailing.
Since the Commercial Gable Company
line Is the only one connecting America
with the orient directly, all cables for the
Philippines. Japan and points on the China
coast will have to be sent around the other
way at a rate about double that charged
across the direct San Francisco Y Okohama
line.

Finally one by one they fell limp and APP

about half finished with the first when

5 Oddly il, the Mems
Coal on His Brain Removed


Philadelphia, Pa.-Surgeons are
talking of the remarkable case of Ed
ward Anderson, aged 25, of Camden. AT
the time of the Boer war Anderson was
aboard at British transport sailing
from Cape Town to Halifax. While at
work one day large piece of coal fell
and fractured his skull. The man was
treated, but not so much care. Event
ually he was told that he was as well
as ever.
Then he came to Camden and OBJ
tanned employment. After time his
employer suggested that he develop
himself mentally and as result he
took up 81 night course in college. Then
he began to have trouble mentally and
he went to a specialist, who sent him
to Jefferson hospital.
At the hospital the young man was
told that he would never be able to ce-
velop his brain unless he submitted to
an operation. To this he agreed and
his skull was opened. Resting on the
brain were two pieces of coal. These
We're removed and the skull was ire
pinned.
Anderson now finds that he can
study to his hearts content and thus
his mind grows clearer every day.

Doc opal" Steals Horse.

Columbus, Ind.-Because Mugs"
an English coach dog, owned by J. N.
D. Reeves. objects SO persistently to
the sale of horse by his master, the
former owner is endeavoring to repur-
chase the horse, that it and the dog,
which have been inseparable compan-
ions for several years, may spend the
remainder Of their lives as chums
The horse was sold to Brock Smith
of East Columbus, and when the new
purchaser attempted to lead the AMI
NAL from the Reeves barnyard, the dog
held the halter rein with his teeth nor
would he release it until forced to do
so by the master. BY his pathetic,
mute appeals he evinced his desire to
have his equine friend stay.
Recently the purchaser OF the horse
drove him back here and hitched him
to rack while he entered a store.
"Muggs" appeared at the animals side
and grabbing the halter rein between
his teeth, chewed it in two. thus re-
leasing his erstwhile companion. The
two proceeded to their old home to-
gether.
