ROCKEFELLER LIVES IN FEAR
Dread Of Assassination or Robbery
Always with Him.

Probably the most complete burglar
alarm system in the world is installed
In John ID. Rockefeller's house at
Cleveland. Both the burglar alarm
and an intricate signaling system are
tested nightly when the master Is in
the house, and II defect is found an
expert is Immediately summoned to
repair II.
1t Is reported, but not confirmed,
that Mr.. Rockefeller sleeps in a room
on the top floor, the only entrance to
which Is through several other rooms
in which trusted lieutenants are sta.
toned. At night brilliant arc lamps
illuminate the grounds around the
Rockefeller house. and at least three
men are always on duty patroling the
premises.
Mr. Rockefeller's fear OF assassins.
ton Is such that even in his, owl
house he will not sit with his back to
window. When forced to travel he
will never, II 1t can be avoided, enter
the public waiting room of railroad
station. preferring to sit in the bag
gage room or some other secluded
place. 1t was not vanity. 1t is said.
which prompted him to buy his now
famous wig, but the fact that his bald.
ness made him too easily recognized.
The oil magnate has two trusted
bodyguards. one an lrishman and the
other Swiss. A century or more
ago Irish and Swiss bodyguards were
the favorites of royalty.

LIFE INSURANCE REFORMS.

Thanks to n new. act of the Massa.
chusetts legislature. which goes into
effect on the first OF November next, an
interesting experiment in life Insurance
Is promised to the people OF the Bay
State and New England generally. The
law In question provides for the sale
OF small life insurance policies and an.
nuities by the savings institutions of
Massachusetts,. The new feature Is en-.
tlrely voluntary or optional, but when
the legislature adopted the measure In
the face Of very strong opposition 1t
knew that number Of savings banks
were willing to go experimentally into

for profit or with the notion of serious
~ competing with the Insurance com
panies, but in benevolent and altruis-
tie spirit, The law was the outgrowth
of the insurance scandals and revela-
lions. Those who framed and pushed
II believed that the savings banks Of
Massachusetts, which are strictly regu-
lated by statute and controlled by n

population with opportunities Of getting
life insurance M bare cost and under
conditions which guarantee honest, con.
scrvatlve and intelligent management,
The banks do not expect, and are not
expected, to solicit Insurance, 10 employ
agents or even carry on active corTc-
spOndcnce In order 10 obtain business.
Blank forms of policies will, however,
be widely distributed ana the would-bc
bcnefc,arlcs Of the system will have
to take the trouble Of applying FOR and
getting the policies and of regularly
paying their premiums. Whether many
people, even in thrifty and enlightened
Massachusetts, realize the need Of life
insurance sufficiently 10 incur such
trouble Is one of the many questions
upon which the experiment Is 10 give
