Rockefeller Has
Birthday Today;
How Old ? Guess

Cleveland, July s.-John D.
Rockefeller Celebrated his sixty
eighth birthday by watching the
play for the Olympic cup on the
Euclid club links Shedding his
coat, rolling up his trousers and
jamming a soft straw hat firmly
on the back Of his head, he
trudged along in the midst of the
crowd of golf enthusiasts watch
ing the play of Walter J. Travis

New York, July 8.-John D. Rookie

as difficult to fix the OIL magnate's

his exact whereabouts. Some author
.ties have 1t that Mr.. Rockefeller was
born July 8, 1888, while others declare
that 1t was in 1889 that he first saw
the light of day and began to dream
of oil combines and millions.

that Mr.. Rockefeller finds h!mse,l on

Admiral Geo. Brownson. Pop,
ular Officer and a Hero Of
Many Adventures, Has
Left Active Service

Washington, D. G., July s.-After be-
ing in active. service since civil war
days, Rear Admiral Willard H. Brown
son, at present in charge Of the bur-
eau of navigation at the navy depart
ment, reached the age for statutory
retirement today. Admiral Brownson
is one Of the most popular officers Of
the navy and in his long career he has
been the central figure in a number
of stirring adventures. One of these
occurred in 1898, when Rear Admiral
de Mello, of Brazil, with a small fleet,
consisting Of one ironclad cruiser, two
torpedo boats and several merchant
vessels, seized the harbor of Rio jan
eiro. No vessels could pass into or
reach the piers in the harbor and
much distress was occasioned A

In the neighborhooH among them the
Detroit in command OF Admiral Brown
son, then commander. An Ameri-
can merchantmen was also there with
cargo to discharge, but was pre-.
vented from Landing by Mello's fleet.
Her captain appealed to the commo-
dore in command Of the American
warships, with the result that the De.
troit was detailed to act as an escort
to the American vessel and to see that
the captain had an opportunity to dis
charge her cargo.
Clearing decks for action and with
every man at his post, Commander
Brownson sent word to Admiral de
Mello Of what he intended to do. and
then gave the command that sent the
Detroit and the smaller vessel on their
perilous way. Through lane formed
by the Mello navy they sailed. Some
gunners Of the Brazilian feet fred a
shot at the merchantman, and before
the smoke had cleared away one of the
big guns of the Detroit belched forth
Brownson shouted from the bridge tc
the Brazilian admiral that IL another
shot was fired he would deliver q
broadside. This had the effect OF
alarming the Brazilians and the vesse,
discharged her cargo in peace and re-
tired In good order.

at the end of speech Of three hours

other similar exchanges of hot shot
passed between Leonard Brown and
others wearers of the little brass G. A.

marks were uncomplimentary and
some even insulting. The white man

Boise, july 81 When the Haywood
trial was resumed this morning depo-
sitions made by Fred Bradley Of San
Francisco were called up in evidence
and read. Bradley swears the explo-
sion at his residence in 1906 was eaus-
ed by accumulated gas and not by a
dynamite bomb as Orchard testified.

His testimony as to his connection
with the Western Federation of Min

itary evidence, and the introduction Of
this and reading it to the Jury will
take up much time.
The defense expresftas it's willing.
ness that the cross-sxamination Of
Haywood by Senator Borah shall take
i the widest possible range. The de-
sfendant, it is said, will not only deny
sin toto all that Orchard has said as
to his connection with any of the
witness crimes, but will offer a per.
fectly plausible expl Of the In.

instance Of Haywood's part In the de.
