John p.,s pauehter,s View.

Chicago, July 6.-Mrs Harold F. Mccormick, daughter of John D. Rockefeller, in discussing her fathers visit to Chicago, said:
 My father is a much persecuted man. It seemsthe more remarkable inasmuch as he Is not an enemy to anybody in the world. He Is one of the most genial. great hearted men in trIs whole world. He lives In the clouds with his God rather than with worldly things. It is his greatest pleasure to promote happiness among those with whom he comes in contact
 The newspaper men who follow the Rockefeller family SO much do not annoy us: that would be a wrong impression. My father thinks high iy of the men who make the news pers. and numbers many of them among his friends He likes to talk to them. He has played golf with them The dfstastaful feature of the publicity Is Its dealing with personal things-family matters
 'T appreciate the fact that the public takes a great interest in my father. I think possibly the public has a right to know the things that ft asks 10 know about him He en- toys conversation and likes to have sn audience"

LANDS WILL QUESTION
Will John D. Tell All He Knows About Standard Oil - Daugh-
 fer Defends Him.

Chicago, July 6.-With his attor- neys and eleven other officers of the Standard Oil company, including Will liam Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller, the so-called richest man in the world, faced a federeal court room filled with attorneys and spectators to-day. He will be submitted to an examination conducted in person by Judge Kene- saw NJ. Landis. who has 1t within his power to hold the oil king in con tempt of court should the witness de- cline to answer questions.
 It is believed by those interested in the case that when Mir Rockefeller raised his hand and accepted the oath he would tell all he knows concerning the financial relations between the Standard oil company of Indiana and the holding company of New Jersey.
 Whatever may be Mir Rockefel- ler's replies he will in no way incrim- mate himself, for under the law he Is immune from prosecution.
 Marshal Hoy had men scattered throughout the building, while govern ment secret service agents were also sationed about as as to provide against any possible attempt to injure MT Rockefeller.
 The final acceptance by Mir Rocke- feller of the subpoena issued for him by Judge Landis, and his agreement to appear in court to-day, marks the culmination of an exciting series of events in Standard Oil litigation and the final chapter of spectacular search for the oil magnare.
 After hard fought legal battle be- fore jury in Judge Landis' court. verdict was returned finding the Standard oil company guilty of yio- lating the anti-rebate laws, 1t was then incumbent on the judge to assess fine against the corporation, 1t being within his discretion to place the penalty as high as $2S. .000,0O
 Judge Landis. after reading over the entire testimony, covering thou sands of typewritten pages, conclud- ed he could reach no satisfactory de- cision as to the amount of the fine un- less he knew positively how large were the resources of the defendant company, and whether it is owned by the Standard oil company of New Jersey, Judge Landis found there was no alternative but to call upon the officers of both concerns.
 The greatest difficulty was exper- fenced in reaching John D. Rockefel- Ter. who is president of the great New Jersey corporation. For more than q week scores of deputy United States marshals secured the whole eastern section of the country. Mr Rocke- feller finally was found at the home of his son-in-law, near Pittsheld' Mass.
 At 10:27 the Standard Oil case was called and after a couple of minor witnesses had been examined as to the rates on the railroads, John D. Rockefeller was called to the stand. He said he had not been in active business for twelve years and had not been an officer of the Standard oil company, for eight years. He declar- ed that the capital stock of the Standard oil company of New Jersey was about s100,000. The session of the court lasted two hours

 Americans in TOkiO

Tokio, July 6.-The Nichi Nichi tomorrow will say:
 "The American feeling toward Japan appears to have reached al most hysterical stage in their ap- prehension that the resolution adopt ed by the Japanese chamber of com merce is an intention to boycott American goods. An explanation of such attitude may be sought in their own fear regarding the final outcome of the San Francisco affair. A com plete solution of the question with out leaving leaving the least element of difference between the two coun- tries is pressing necessity.
 Conversations with those whose opinions are worth attention follow exactly in the same line.

MONEY ALL GONE.
Simonsyille Mans Trunk Broken
 Open and Rifled.

Patrick Houlihan, of Thomas street, Simonsville, is out $26 which some- body took from a trunk in the house. The money was tucked away there for some time and Mir Houlihan never supposed that anybody knew a thing aobut it. The lock was broken and the contents of the trunk turned up- side down so that one would think a cyclone had struck 1t. While 1t is not likely that the guilty party will ever be located. still the matter was reported to the police. but of course the sleuths don't know which way to turn in order to find the money. Mfr Houlihan is a hard-working, honest old gentleman. and can i'll afford to suffer the loss.

Chester B. Bunyan,th paying tell CT of the Windsor Trust company, who is alleged to have stolen $96,317 from that company, and Mrs Laura Carter, the woman who betrayed his hiding place to the police after he had given her a part of the stolen funds, were taken to the tombs police court to be arraigned to-day. Run vans spirit appeared to be broken by the disastrous outcome of his venture into the realms of ultra-frenzied fin ance. He had passed sleepless night in the police station at 125th street and showed the. effects of his worry when he was subjected to the gaze of a curious crowd on his way from the uptown police station to police headquarters. On the contrary Mrs Carter bore her arrest with con siderable nonchalance. She slept un- eoncernedly on her cot in the ma tron's quarters at the police station and undertook the journey down town undismayed by her predica- ment. She shielded her face from the photographers but chatted with the reporters in lively fashion while in the subway train bound to the court room. Runyan, however had little to say to anybody and ap- peared to be terribly distressed
 What had become of $420OO of the trust company's stolen funds was still unexplained up to the time that the prisoners were taken to the court
 Runyan had, when arrested, $54, ,41o. Of the balance he said he lost about $16,000 in stock speculation before he disappeared from the office of the trust company last Monday. that he had given $15,O00 to Mrs Carter and that he believed she had taken $10,- 900 more without his knowledge.
 Mrs Carter at first denied that she had any of the funds, admitting that Runyan gave her 5000, but asserting that she promptly returned 1t at his request. While on her way to court to-day, however, she said she had de- posted all the money that Runyan gave her in bank mad mat 1t would stay there if she could keep 1t there. She declared she could have secured all the money Runyan had if she had tried hard enough. Concerning her betryal of Runyan's hiding place n an apartment in West 144th street, she said that she had left sorry for Mrs Runyan and debated with herself whether to notify Mrs Runyan of her husbands whereabouts or to give him to the police She adopted the latter plan, she declared. because she learned that Mrs Runyan was i'll. AL though she said she had no hope of securing the reward for Runyan. she remarked that she could make use of the S7,OOO offered. As she. like Run- van, is under a charge of grand lar ceny and the police have yet to re- cover about s25,OO0 which Runyan declares she has hidden, there is lit- tie chance of her securing the reward.
 On arriving down town to-day Run yan and Mrs Carter were taken first to police headquarters where they were photographed and questioned for the police record. Mrs Carter went through the process sm,Iingly while Runyan was haggard and careworn.
 They were then taken to the tombs poHce court to be arraigned.

NO USE FOR HUSBAND,
Now That She is Rich---The Strange
Views of Chica-
20 Woman.

Chicago, Jan. 2l.--"What's the use
of having a husband when yon have
plenty of money!"
The question was asked to-day in a
spirit of disdain by Mrs. Lucinda W.
Lewis, of No 159 North Artesian ave-
nue.. She woke up the other morning
to find herself heir to a part of the
$3.50 000Wilkinson estate. in Dallas, Tex
She was married to J. J. Lewis last
November while she was in desperate
circumstances. Matters were not much
bettered she says, after marriage.Ju
before the relative who left her the
money died, the sheriff had an eye
on her household goods. Her husband
was i'll in bed. Mrs. Lewis, as soon
as word came of her good luck, dis
appeared. A friend saw her to-day,
and she admitted that she had left
her husband

$500 IN A BOTTLE
Floating Down the Ohio River
Lost His Glass POcketbOOk
and Contents.

The Greensboro Inquirer relates the
following incident of the recent
flood:
Somewhere down the Ohio river
floats a coco-cola bottle, empty of its
original beverage, but containing $500
in paper money, and thereby hangs a
tale Astounding in the pathetic quail
ty that marks many incidents of the
flood The bottle was not allowed
to float away until its owner had be-
come exhausted from a hard chase
in a sliff, but when it finally eluded
him he merely remarked: well, I'll
just have to get busy and save $500
more"
J. NJ. Osler, who lived in a two
story brick at Thirty-fifth and Water
streets, ran a small printing cstab-
lishment and a modest plant for the
manufacture of calcium light effects.
He needed a gasoline engine with
which to better operate his works.
and the gasoline engine cost $500.
He set to work to save this amount
and had just accomplished it when
the rise in the river came, Osler
had drawn his savings out of the
bank to make the purchase, but some
delay caused him to have the money
al in paper of various denominations.
At his house when he was forced TO
leave it on Sunday morning. When
he moved he took his money with
him and after that kept it in his
pockets, but in rowing about he got
his bills so wet that he decided to
put them in an empty coco-cola bot
tie, which he carried in his coat
pocket.
Tuesday he rOwed out to his house
to take a look at his belongings, and
became warm at the oars. He threw
his coat off, forgetting the coca
cola bottle, and it slipped out into
the water. He saw the bottle bob
bling ahead of his boat and felt for
his glass pocketbook, to find it miss
ing. Then began a frantic pursuit.
The bottle bobbed on ahead and fl
nally a high wind came and carried
it faster than Osler who is about six
ty years old, could row his boat.
