STEAMER MONTH OVERDUE.
Nothing Heard of Aeon, Which Left
Frisco for Samoa.

Disquieting advices have been received
by the Navy Department concerning the
British steamer Aeon, which sailed from
San Francisco July 6 for Apia, Samoa.
Nothing has been heard from the vessel
since she left San Francisco. She was
due in Samoa not later than August /.
She now is quite month overdue.
Inquiry concerning the Aeon was re-
ceived by the bureau of navigation from
the governor of Samoa. He cabled the
department from Figi, the Samoan terml-
nus OF the cable.
A cablegram was sent Immediately to
Rear Admiral Swinburne. commander OF
the Pacific fleet. now at Honolulu, EN-
route to Samoa, TO keep lookout for the
Aeon and to report her to the department
If she should be sighted.
1t is the theory of the officers In the
bureau of navigation that the Aeon has
broken her shaft or otherwise seriously
damafed her machinery. and that the YES
sci is floating helplessly about the Pacific.
Little Is known here Of the vessel except
tat she iS\a single screw steamer carry
ing a cargo of food stuffs and general
merchandise.
On board are several passengers, among
whom are the wife and family of Chap
lain Bower r. Patrick and the wife OF
Lieut.. William X. Riddle, both of the

Once Lived in indianapolis.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, September A.
Chester s. Jordan. accused of the murder
of his wife at Boston, was born in Indian
apols and lived here until about ten
years ago, when his parents removed to
Boston.
His father, Phineas G. Jordan, was en-
ployed by the United States Express
Company for several years and is wei
known in the city by reason of his promi-
hence among members OF the G. A. r.
Two daughters, older than Chester.
were in the Office of 4 concern located in
the State Life building. On it's removal
to Boston they accompanied it. Later
the others of the family joined the daugh-
tiers.
One of them. Miss Nettie Jordan, mar
ton Spectator whose operations in Wall
street have furnished several sensations.
John f. Spratt, contractor, 1117 Ash
land avenue is an uncle of the young
man. He has not seen him for years. he
said today, but remembers him as like
ly youth.
At the United States Express Company
office Chester is remembered. He was
named for Ches.er Stanton, former
money clerk in the Office, now living in
Grand Rapids, Mich.
Asbury York. the agent, says he re-
members him as large for his age, which
was about seventeen when the family left
the city, and for his pleasant dispos. tion.
The men at the Office, he said, liked
"Phins'' son.
Chester had some desire to go on the
stage at that time and frequently took
part in amateur entertainments.

WHEW! 35,O57 PROMOTIONS.
Post Office Department Has Com
pleted Salary Adjustments.

The Post Office Department has COM
pleted the REIMBURSEMENT of the salaries of
post office clerks and city letter carriers,
ana 1871 carriers and 16,0S6 clerks have
been promoted. The law provides that
every clerk or letter carrier who has
served for one year is eligible for advance
ment to the next higher grade upon evil
dence satisfactory to the department that
his services have been faithful and eff
cient.
Upon this basis 2.33i clerks were pro-
NOTED from 5000 to $500. or 3S.7 per cent;
1855 from $500 to $500. or 9S.S. per cent;
$3.50 from 500 to $1,000. or 81 per cent:
2,761 from 1000 to SLIGO. or Q22 per cent;
2, f26 from 81 100 to 1890. or 81 6 per cent,
AMI 56l letter carriers from $500 to $500, or
991 per cent: 100 from $500 to 500. or 97.6
per cent; 1927 from 500 to $1,000, or 992
per cent; 375 from 81 .OC0 to 81. 100, or 81
per cent. and 9,9iS from 81, 100 to $1,000,
or 92S per cent
The large percentage Of clerks and car
riers promoted and the very small per-
centage of promotions withheld on account
of unsatisfactory service is exceedingly
gratifying to the department.. as it indi-
Gates a high degree of efficiency in the
postal service The slight difference in
perc antage in favor of the carriers pro-
mpted to $1.2CO is due to the failure of a
number OF the clerks In the 81 100 grade
to attain proficiency In memorizing tiistri-
button schemes.

RocKEFELLER's ANCESTORS
Barons in France, John d. Not the
Original Monevmaker.

ALBANY, n. Y, September AT the
annual reunion of the Rockefeller Family
Association here yesterday there was read
the report of DR.. Aaron r. Lewis, who
last year was commissioned to trace the
Rockefeller family history in Europe.
DIR. Lewis reported that his researches
resulted in the discovery that the an
cestors of the Rockefellers in southern
France were barons, and that the south
of France ancestry dates back further
than any of the other branches. The
German branch, which heretofore had
been considered the original branch, is
merely branch of the French family.
DR.. Lewis said he had traced the Rock
efeller ancestry back 10 $50 A. ID. He
found in the little village OF Fair twelve
families of the name of Rockefeller, who
told him to tell the American Rookie
tellers that they need never be ashamed
Of their German cousins, as they W~re
all law-abidingr peace full and industrious
citizens.
DR.. Lewis investigation also reveals
the fact that John d. was not the or. sinal
moneymaker of the family, as he found
in France coins of the year 1900 y. d.
made by the titled Rockefellers and bear
ing their name. Many of the Huguenot
members of the family fed to Germany
under the persecution of Louis XIII,
thus establishing the family in that coun-
try.
The coat of arms OF the Rockefeller
family consists of two rocks on red fields
and two horns on white fields with a hel"
met as a crest. and Latin motto which,
being translated. means None more
faithful" This coat of arms dates back
to 1850 \. d. Dr. Lewis. however during
his researches discovered a still older
Rockefeller coat of arms, dated 1850 A.
D.. having for its motto Honor remains
with me; 1t Is sufficient"
John d. Rockefeller was not present at
the reunion. Samuel l.. Rockefeller,
eighty-two years old. came all the way
from Tombstone. AriZ.

Art Moving West.
From the Home Magazine.


Referring to the artistic development in
the United States, the commissioner of
fine arts for France to the st. Louis eX-
position summed up the outlook in the
prophecy that it was to the heart of our
country that the future must turn for the
uch-discussed national art.
The deductions made by this distin-
guished visitor from abroad, it would
seem, even now are being eNemplified to
q pronounced degree. The trend of today
is shifting of the center of really earn
est and serious artistic endeavor from the
Atlantic to the great central plain. This
is evinced in every department of the fine
arts. Among the crafts the eastern man
will acknowledge the truth of this. In
architecture, however, the exponent will
not always be SO generous. but he will at
least admit curiosity, and sometimes in
terest, concerning achievement in the
west The sturdy western type. full Of
energy, frankly enthusiastic. impatient OF
restraint, glories in his self-appoin ed
freedom and delights in identifying him.
self and his expression with his surround
ings.

IMPRESS POLICE.
Death of Boardwalk Victim May

Throw Light on Mystery.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
ATLANTIC CITY, September Awhile
the condition OF Charcs Il. Roberts was
reported to be nearly normal this morn
ing, save for continued weakness. 1t was
learned that the police are far from ceas-
ing to worry over his condition.
Day and night ever since the shooting
either Capt. Whalen or a man In his con-
fidence has been stationed at the tele-
phone on the watch for a possible unfd-
vorable message from the hospital and
ready at its receipt to take some impor-
tant steps by wire. This unceasing watch,
strange in view OF reassurng bulletins.
instead of being relaxed last night was
kept UP with more vigilance than ever
This hints at an idea that Roberts VIII
not be out of immediate danger until the
end of the week at the earliest.
The official bulletin on Roberts condi-
ton this morning was as full OF hopeful
news as usual. 1t gave his temperature
as 81. or about normal, and his pulse as
90. At the same time. 1t is known he Is
very weak and that graev fears are
felt lest he never recover.
The entire cessation OF local police work
upon the case within the past two days
is an interesting feature of the Board
walk puzzle. 1t may be accounted for In
several ways.
Chief OF Police w woodruff SAID TINS
morning that the department had fin
ished work In Atlantic City and was
awaiting the results of work by police In
other localities. In spite of this state
ment, however. the most likely view OF
the quiet at police headquarters was that
the police had prepared case against
certain man not now In Atlantic CITY
and did not have evidence enough to go
any farther with their work.
This supposition agrees with the belief
that Roberts or Mrs. Williams. his COM
panion recognized the man who erected
the understandable 'hold-up." Accord
ing to this theory the police are simply
waiting for the word to go ahead before
they make an arrest.
The first few days after the shooting
gave evidence that a powerful pull was
brought to bear to make the hands of the
police loosen their grip on the case. But
o. recent days u different spirit has peen
evident at least among the police.
Powerful friends of Roberts are known
to be staying in Atlantic City. They arc
supposed to represent a body or family
and friends pledged to act together In the
event of Roberts death and spare no ex-
pense or effort to procure conviction Tor
murder.
The Roberts family Is known as one OF
the most compact and clannish of Mary
land, and there ore with its wealth, ono
of the most powerful. 1t is a true Mary
land family, built on the idea of family
agreement and 10y atty, even unto the third
and fourth cousins.

SOME BUSINESS PICKING uP'
GOVERNMENT FIGURES ATTEST
INCREASED ACTIVITIES.
Live Stock, Grain, Lumber, Coal and
Iron Show Marked I'm
provement.

Increased activities in g number of lines
OF industry are shown in the July report
of the bureau of statistics, Department Of
Commerce and Labor. on internal COM
merce Of the United States.
Internal commerce movements, says the
report, continue to show improvements
over the preceding months of the year.
There is a considerably heavier live stock
movement reported for the seven months
ending with last July than for the cor
responding period of either Of the two inn
mediately preceding years.
Grain receipts for July increased over
the preceding month and also over July
of last year. Lumber and coal move
ments, as we'll as the production of iron,
continue to show marked advances over
the preceding months of the year, al
though the total is still below the heavy
figures Of July, 1907.
More than 20 per cent OF the re-
porting car associations show gains over
the preceding months Of the current year.
Live stock receipts at seven interior pri-
mary markets, aggregating 2,S74. 1913 head.
while below those for July of last year.
are in the aggregate for the seven months
ending with July in advance Of July In
the two previous years. due largely to
the heavier receipts of hogs.
With returns from forty-ave leading
cities. the building operations for July
showed Improvement. a small gain over
the remarkably large business Of July
of last year being reported. Trunk line
grain shipments of 1885, 900 bushels for
July largely exceed those for July OF
last year, the gain also showing for
the thirty-one weeks ending with July.
The eastbound trunk line movement of
provisions during the five weeks ended
with July, 97.O57 tons, while In excess of
like period In June, fell below the
figures for the corresponding period in
1907.
Packing house products. receipts of
southern pine at New York. pig iron and
other productions, showed gains over the
preceding months. Coal and coke traffic
over seven eastern coal-carrying roads
during July. 1905 aggregating 1851 1896
tons was far in excess of the preceding
months totals. though still nearly three
million tons below the like shipments for
July, 1907.
The increase over the June figures is
largely due to the one-million-ton increase
in shipments Of bituminous coal.

Origin of Stock Exchange.
From Harper's Magazine,

AS a matter of fact, Wall street was
determined at that little dinner at JEFF
ferson's house, where Hamilton had sold
New York's political birthright to insure
the assumption. of the state debts. for
most of the public stock which tho
Treasury issued to finance its plan was
marketed through the auctioneering es-
Establishments located at the eastern end
of the still fashionable thoroughfare. In
deed. the first "stock exchange" known
to the city, opened at No. %. about this
LIST of March. 1892, was direct effort OIL
the part of the auctioneers TO control this
business, and it is curious fact that two
of the men associated i'll this enterprise,
McEvers and Pintard, represented fami-
lies closely identified with Wall streets
previous history.
NJ marked alteration had yet occurred
in the appearance of the street. but under
one of the few shade trees which had
esca ped destruction during the revolution
there now gathered daily small group
OF men who acted as brokers in the pur-
chase and sale of the public stock. ana
their presence gradually effected change
in the character of the quiet residential
neiShborhood. Moreover, 1t was soon APP
parent that these men had determined to
maintain the footho'd they had acquir-
ed for they were quick to resent the conf
bination of the auctioneers which threat
ened to drive them from the field and
lost no time in declaring war against all
the allied firms. AT meeting held In
Cores Hotel. March q, 1892 they re-
solved to have no dealings with the mo-
nopolists. and March II of the same year
they subscribed to written memorandum
agreeing upon a definite commission and
undertaking to give each other prefer
ence in all brokerage transactions
Such was the origin of thu New York
Stock Exchange. but there was no imme-
date attempt TO effect permanent or
ganization. and for some years the trad
ing conducted under the old cottonwood
tree was almost entirely confined to tho
marketing of the public stock.
