And he asked the doctor to help
him. After a few days of close
study, DR.. Biggar went to Mr..
Rockefeller with this prescription:
drop all business cares; take
regular exercise; keep in the open
air; forget everything but play, and
play as though your life depended
upon it," And his life did depend
upon it. Mr.. Rockefeller carried
out the doctors prescription and
dieted religiously. When he went
East he was new John D. Rookie

WIRE STRIKE SPREADS
$500 Men Go Out in New York
Market Quotations Tied Up.

New York Especially Without a
moments warning to the companies
and without notice even to the Of
fcials of their union a majority of
the union operators in both the
Western Union and Postal telegraph
Offices responded to a whistle Mon
day afternoon and walked out.
This action being followed by the
union men in the other large cities
and a number of smaller ones in the
East and Southeast, it made the great
strike, Of which Chicago had been
the storm center, general all over
the United States.
Operators in Montreal, Canada,
also walked out, making the trouble
International in its scope.
The action of the New York opera
tors was taken within "a hours after
the adoption of a resolution at a
mass meeting of operators Sunday to
defer the strike in New York until
next Friday, pending the efforts of
mediators to reach settlement in
Chicago. The excuse given for the
sudden walkout was that the COM
pantes had continued to recruit
strikebreakers in this city for West
ern cities and that more men
were discharged here because they
refused to work with nonunion men
at the other end Of the wire.
Although the walkout was with
out the knowledge or sanction of the
unions officials and leaders, these
men say they will stand by the strik-
ers. The kilograms from the nation
al leaders in the West showed that
they, too, will support the action
taken here.
While neither of the companies
was rendered helpless at this point
by the strike both were seriously
crippled for the time being, and at
least another "a hours will be re-
quired to demonstrate to what ex-
tent the New York strike has aided
in tieing up the whole country.
Representatives of both the Pos
tai and Western Union Companies
we're taken completely by surprise
and expressed themselves as having
no knowledge of any specific reason
for the strike. Edward J. Nally,
vice president and general manager
of the Postal, and Belvidere Brooks,
general superintendent OF the New
York division of the Western Union,
both said they had expected every
thing would go along smoothly at
least until after the meeting of the
mediators in Chicago next Thursday.
Nothing has TRANSFERRED since the
meeting of the union Sunday to pro-
vide new cause for hostilfties, they
say, and no grievances had been pre-
sented to either company. In the
Postal Office an operator was dis
charged Monday because he refused
to work wire with a nonunion man
at the other end, and three men, who
had been discharged by the Western
Union for similar cause two days
ago, asked for reinstatement and
their requests were refused.
These were the only specific causes
for the strike, so far as could be
learned from either side, but at the
meeting Sunday the union officials
had told the men to go ahead and do
whatever work they were ordered to
do until after it was seen what could
be accomplished in Chicago.

Cleveland, Ohio Especially john
D. Rockefeller will live to be more
than ninety-four, said DR.. Biggar,
his family physician. He is the
best trained athlete in the sixty-year-
old class in the world today.
"Mr. Rockefeller has been born
twice physically, and he is only
fourteen years old now. He is grow
ing up again scientifically, adding
to his muscle, to his lungs, to his
heart power with every breath of
fresh air he takes on Forest Hill
and with every drive he makes with
the golf club"
And. it cost Mr.. Rockefeller $5,-
100000 for this second life. These
are his own words. 1t happened in
this wise, according to DR.. Biggar:
Mr.. Rockefeller came to Cleve-
land in 1898 in the middle Of the
panic period, completely broken in
health and spirit.
Doctor, I'm sick. I'm afraid I'm
going to die. But it is not on &C

Flags Kept Flying In Spite OF City
Ordinance.
Logansport, Ind. Especial when
Corporal Murtaugh, of Indianapolis,
was placed in charge of the United
States marine recruiting station here
he hung out United States flag
from second story window. A city
ordinance prohibits banners of any
description from being displayed
over streets, so Chief of Police Ora
ham ordered Murtaugh to take down
the flag, and is alleged to have
threatened to haul it in himself.
Murtaugh, with six-shooter, put
himself in the chiefs way, telling
him to leave the flag alone or he
would be shot. Graham retired.
Civil War veterans endeavored to
gather force to mob Graham.
An army recruiting Office across
the street, in charge of Capt. Elijah
Martindale, unfurled another flag as
dare Both offices remain in charge
of armed men, ready to shoot.
The police chief is son of G..
A. R. veteran. A report of the in
cident was telegraphed to the de-
partment at Washington, which tele-
graphed back an order to Murtaugh
to keep the flag flying. The mini
mum penalty for removing without
authority a flag hoisted in federal
jurisdiction is three years imprison-
ment.

Paris (By Cable) Now that
Prime Minister Clemenceau and
General Picqnart, the Minister of
War, have been riding around In
the new military airship Patrie, one
realizes that the dreams of Jules
Verne have been realized and that
the poetic prophesy of Tennyson
written many years ago OF airy
navies dropping a CHASTITY dew" up
on the earth below will soon be a
matter of fact and not a mere fig
ment of a poets imagination.
To make the thing clear to those
at home, the recent maneuvers of
the military airships demonstrating
the fact that It can carry number
of people, to be duplicated in the
United States, would mean that Sec
rotary Taft and Secretary Root would
find it both safe and feasible to go
for a sail around the Washington
Monument from the grounds of
Fort Meyer, beyond Georgetown, D.
c., or that things were in such a
shape in the United States that
President Roosevelt would sail from
Oyster Bay to New York on one of
the War Departments new engines
of death.
The fact is that the day of the
airship is so assuredly at hand that

I military airships and will restrict
them to certain fields of action.
The commission dealing with hui
manitarian usage in warfare met
the other day to frame regulations
for balloons and other aerial ad-
Juncts of warfare. Russia, Belgium
and Italy had proposals which were
formulated eventually by Count
Tornielli as follows:
Amy balloons used for destruc-
tive purposes in warfare should be
dirigible and be named by regular
military crews
The vote on the proposal stood s
to in favor of it. Eleven delegates
abstained from voting. France head
ed the DIRECTORS, maintaining that
the best course would be to simply
apply the rules already existing on
bombardment and the use of mines.
Germany shared in this view.
A second proposal forbidding the
dropping of projectiles on undefend-
ed towns and villages or the dis
charge of deleterious gases thereon,
but permitting the dropping of pro-
Jectiles over regularly beleaguered
garrisons, was carried by vote of
80 to 2. There were three Austen
lions. Nine delegates were absent,
which means that they had received
no instructions from their govern
ments.
