ROCKEFELLER III
HAS 4 BIRTHDAY
HEIR PRESUMPTIVE TO WORLDS
LARGEST FORTUNE IS TWO
YEARS OLD.
IDOL OF HIS GRANDFATHER.
FolIies of Other MilIionaires Is Tabooed
IN Young Mans Bringing
Up.
DOL OF HIS GRANDFATHER.
NO SOCIETY IN THAT FAMILY.

NEW YORK, March 21.-John d.
Rockefeller Ill, heir presumptly TO one
Of the largest fortunes in the world, was
= years old today. From all accounts
he is fine, healthy, blue-eyed yougster,
who is just beginning to take a lively
interest in what goes on about him. He
is the idol not only Of his parents, but
also Of his grandfather, John ID. Rookie
'eller. ST. The latter has grandchil-
dren in the Mccormick and the Strong
families, but these young persons, who
are destined 10 be tremendously wealthy
will have meager fortunes compared with
John y. the third.
Follies Are TabOoed.
The heir to millions is being brought
I'D in accordance with the traditions Of
the Rockefeller family, which, in other
words, means that the fOllies and fOibles
Of the sons of many millionaires of to-
day will be tab0oed.
The youngster will find in his father a
most excellent example of u millionaire
who prefers the simple life to the pleas
ures of high society. In his tastes. his
everyday habits, his pleasures and his
beliefts John ID. Rockefeller, Jr, Is a
most striking contrast to the ordinary
son of Il millionaire father. Possessed
of fortune which would enable him
to crafty any eXtravagant wish, which
would enable him to pay half a million
a year for Il yacht and think it no waste,
to support Il racing stable or to buy a
princely estate, he wants none of them
TO his mind it is pleasanter to work
daily, to live quietly at home and to de
vote much of his time to religion and
charity.
No Society There
Mrs. John ID. Rockefeller, Jr, who
was Miss Abby AIdrich, daughter of
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, shares
her husbands tastes. Notwithstanding
the wealth and social prominence to
which she has been accustomed all her
life, Mrs. Aldrich cares nothing for So
cIety and its frivolities She is pretty
and attractive and could easily shine
should she care to enter the lists But
her interests are in opposite directions
She has advanced ideas about education
and is a student of literature She is
interested in practical charity and much
prefers to investigate and relieve a gen
ulne case of distress than to spend an
afternoon with a dressmaker talking
about the fit of a gown. From this it
must not be imagined that she does not
dress well, for she does. But she cares
Tor dress only as a woman of her station
who has no lnfatuation for society should
care for 1t. 1t is not a passion with her
and does not distract her mind from the
larger problems of life, of which she is
an earnest student.
Young Mrs. Rockefeller is not particu-
larly fond of outdoor sports, although
she shares her husbands love for horses
She COLTS a little and can swim and sail
a small boat. She much prefers to read
a soid work on an educational topic
than to dance or attend dinner party.

Heretofore il has not been possible to
ascertain the net addition to the popula-
ton from immigration. The result now
announced is said TO be surprising TO the
department
The total immigration during the year
amounted TO $4,000 persons. The out
ward movement-that is 10 say, the alien
emigration-was $4,000, which, deducted
from the former. leaves 2U9, 100 as the net
increase for The year
The number of alien emigrants is esti-
mated as the figures for June have not
yet been compiled. II has been assumed
that the alien emigration for that month
was about equal to that for the preceding
month.

result of this showing, that all official
