DEFENDS HER FATHER.
Daughter Of Rockefeller Say. erothsa
Frank 10 Jealous,

/, Chicago, Aug. 13.-Mrs. Harold FowA
Ter Mccormick, the daughter of John
D. Rockefeller defended her father
against the oil kings youngest brother,
Frank Rockefeller.
Jealousy she said, brought about
by my uncle's signal lack of business
ability is the cause Of the vituperation
he has heaped upon my father.
My father holds no malice agaist
him 1t may not be consistent with the
usual picture drawn of my father. but
heiholds malice against no man.
"My uncle's failure to profit by the
fortune of my father, and his repeat
ed failures in business have been
wormwood and gall to him. The Bit
terness has grown from year to year.
1t has taken for its objective point the
brother who has prospered."
Mrs. Mccormick says it is true that
her grandfather is alive.
Between my father and grandfather
there always existed the respect and
love that should prevail between father
and son. My grandfather watched
with the keenest interest the success
es of his son."
Mrs. Mccormick said that her grand
fathers health was responsible in a
large degree for his being out Of range
OF the public eye.

to every railroad station you possibly
can. "L w. QUICK.
Grand Secretary o. r. T."
Last night the following dispatch
was received by the railroad operators
in Des Moines and other places:
Am informed that a message pur-
porting to have been signed by me
is being sent out over the railroad
wires. That message was fake. Pay
no attention to message of that char
acter. You are requested to strictly
observe your agreement with the rail-
road company You should perform
the same duties now that you did be-
fore the commercial telegraphers' strike
occurred. Nothing more. nothing less.
81. w. QUICK,
''Grand Secretary o. r. T."
Local members of the O. r. T. say
that Secretary Quick's order will be
obeyed They say that commercial
road operators the same as before. ex-
cept that they will be accepted sub
ject to delay.
The refusal of the railroad operators
to break their contracts with the com
paniesfwill not prevent them from aid
ing the strikers financially. however.
1t is understood that they have offered
financial support to the fight of their
brothers who are employed in the COM
mercial offices. The grand secretary's
action is not taken, as an evidence of
any lack of sympathy for the strikers.
He simply insists that the men live up
to their agreement with the railway
companies.

MANY STILL HOMELESS.

Thousands Of Frisco Quake vietim,,
Still Live in Parks.
San Francisco Aug. 13.-How are
they going to get 1880 people out O..
the parks and public squares by Aug.
Ii?
That is the question which puzzles
the relief committee of San Francisco.
The park commissioners have issuet
their ultimaitum that San Francisco s
homeless sufferers from the great dis
aster shall pick up their houses and
walk off of public property.

/ tages to and fro. Some of them are
moving from the most crowded city
districts to the far out suburbs, where
their occupants can have unlimited
fresh air, laden with the tang of the
sea salt; others go back to the very
heart of the city's hustle and rush.
Tht history of the refugee camps is
a remarkable one. Just 5,579 cottages
were built with the $7.oOQ.O0o or so of
relief funds that poured into San
Francisco after the fire, SO that about
20 900 homeless sufferers were made
comfortable.
The park commissioners said that
the refugees might have the use of the
parks and squares for one year from
Aug II, 1906, and, almost from the
first, the relief committee had to
scheme to make a removal possible
within the time specified.
Health conditions in the camp are
better than thruout the city at large.
A daily inspection is made by camp
physician and purses who look after
the sick and see that sanitary laws
are obeyed.
Efficient fire squads have been or
ganized in every camp and these drill
at regular intervals. Several fires
which threatened to prove disastrous
have been speedily controlled by these
squads. Sterilized water hot and cold
baths, wire clothes lines, flush latrines,
iron garbage cans, fuel boxes, cook
ing and Illuminating gas are provided
in most of the camps and the walks
between houses are swept thoroughly
every day.
Taking care of the refugees has been
a great task, but the greatest of all
will be the effort to quit doing soto
make them self-supporting. in other
words. There is much of interest.
much of gladness and much more that
is pathetic about the movement.
Among them are so many of the
waits of life. Some are men and
women of genius and former high posi-
tons whom drink or drugs have ruined
Some are the weaklings who never
had chance" Some are beginning
a new life with glad eyes on the fu-
ture and others looking sadly toward
the close of the old. 1t is drama
big as "all out doors" and one which
is worth watching with eager atten-
ton.

tional police, 1t may be significant OF g.
possible change in the attitude Of
France that she has declined to agree
to the invitation of Spain to send q
new joint note to the powers reaffirm-
tion of the two governments, which
matter is now the subject of diplomatic
exchanges of views.
Without doubt France desires to
keep within the terms of the Alge-
ciras convention, hut she is reluctant
to join Spain in a new note to the
powers in the face of a situation which
may force her hand. For the mo-
ment, however, 1t is declared that even
the dispatch of French troops from
France to Morocco has not been de-
cided upon. The mobilizations in
Algeria and at Toulon, it is explained
are precautionary measures with the
view of having more effective men
ready in the event of sudden emer-
gency
The section Of the press which is
convinced that France must assume
the task Of putting an end to the ex-
listing anarchy in Morocco believes It
to be the duty of the government not
to try to deceive either itself or the
world. They believe that to establish
permanent order in Morocco that
country must be conquered as Al
geria was and that in'order to accom-
plish this the hands Of France must
be freed from the restrictions of the
Algeciras convention.
Therefore, the papers, argue, the
powers should induce Germany to give
her consent to the conquest of Moroc-
co and then France must prepare for
long campaign. OF, course. the nat
ural sequel to the conquest. the abb
sorption Of Morocco, is not concealed.

FoREsEEs COAL FAMINE.
Hartman Says Shortage in Fuel Is
Certainty.

Omaha, Aug. BE. H. Hartman
and his two sons attended church at
Trinity Episcopal cathedral here Sun
day during a break in the westward
vacation trip which the railway mag
nate is making in his special train.
Mr. Hartman says: Il think we
shall have a coal shortage this winter
due to the general increase in the con-
sumption of coal by reason of the great
expansion of all lines of industry all
over the country and also to the fact
that some mines are not able to turn
out as much as they might because Of
a lack of labor.
Then there Is the shortage of
freight cars to be reckoned with. l
want to say word in reply to the
geenral charge that the railways are
wholly to blame for car shortage. The
charge is unjust in many cases. Num-
erous causes conspire to bring about a
shortage Of congestion in cars of
which the people know nothing and
they are responsible and which they
cannot avoid"

Crippled conditions on the board be-
came more pronounced as a result OF
the tieup of keys in New York and

ready shouldering enormous losses as

The Cleveland Telegraph Company,
said to be dominated by board of trade

ing interrupted by the falling out be-

The traders want business In the pits
restored to normal basis. and men close
to the telegraphers' fight argue that
an early settlement, If arrived at on a
satisfactory basis would be welcomed
if for no other reason than that the
brokers would benefit.
A report was circulated to the effect
that if strike troubles gripped too
tightly around the neck of specula-
tion and general commercial business
on the board of trade. the exchange
would suspend operations. This talk,
while f1aunted in some circles with APP
parent sincerity, was ridiculed by men
foremost in management. John A. Bun
nell second vice president of the board,
said:
THE report Is the most ridiculous
thing 1 have heard Of There is not
one chance in million that the board
will close. 1t makes no difference
about the talk of increasing margins,
and about all other talk. The story
is too frail to be backed up by any

tent by the strike yesterday and at 6

I'VE expect no difficulty in filling
the places of three operators who
walked out at our office this morning,
said Manager Sampley of the Postal
last night.
"We took two operators on yester-
day and have made arrangements for
two more TO go to work SO that the
force will be even larger than before
the strike. The additional operator is
made necessary by the increased busi-
to offices in other parts of the country

at their keys when the three members
of the union walked out. But few mes
sages came into the office during the
day and our chief difficulty was to han
die the outside business sent thru the
local office"
