JOHN d. PAYS JERSEYMAN
$50 FOR THIS ONE BATH.
Ability to Stop a Leak Is Lib
erally Rewarded.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. 15.-Be-
cause an inventive turn of mind made
1t possible for him to repair a leak
ing bathtub while John d. Rockefeller
was waiting to take a bath, Wilbur
Force, of Livingston Park, is richer by
$50.
Force went TO Cleveland a short time
ago to ~superintend the work of men
employed on Mr.. Rockefeller's estate
at Forest Hill. One evening, when Mr..
Rockefeller was preparing to AXE a
bath, he discovered a leak in the tub.
Every one about the place was appealed
to by Mr.. Rockefeller's valet, but no
one could be found capable of mending
the tub.
Finally Force walked in, and after
looking at the leak said he might be
able to stop it. In a few moments the
work was done. A few days later as
Force was leaving the magnate handed
him an enveope containing check Tor
$50.

PA ELK|NS WANTS
DAUGHTER TO WE'D
WORKER, NOT DUKE
So Declares Mrs. A. c. 0liphant,
of Trenton, Sister of Miss
Katherine.
SUGGESTS THAT ABRUZZI
EMEGRATE TO AMERICA
West Virginia Belle Is Really in
Love with Italian, Says
Relative.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, Oct. 15.-The Duke Of
the Abruzzi will nave to come to Amer
lea as an immigrant and begin life
anew as worker and not continue an
idler and titled aristocrat if he ever
hopes to become the husband of Miss
Katherine Elkins with the consent of
her father, Senator Stephen B. Elkins,
the West V~irginian, with more mil
lions than he knows what to do with.
This is the declaration of Mrs. A. c..
Oliphant, of this city, widow of former
Adjutant-G General Alexander c. Oil
plant, and daughter of the Senator
and half-sister of Miss Elkins.
Mrs. Oliphant has finally consented
to talk of The romano in her fathers
family, although she a she has
been kept in comparative ignorance of
the whole affair because of Miss Ell
kins's u~nwillingness to discuss it.
Discussing the subject here today
Mrs. Oliphant said:
Father has nothing against the duke
personally; in fact, he rather likes the
young man, but he will not stand for
titled heads. He would much rather
have Katherine, as well as his other
daughters, marry a young American,
no matter how poor he might be If he
was a hard worker, than marry a
nobleman with a title. This is the
eprincipal reason that he has refused
Is allow the marriage to take place.
Personally L DO not think that. Kath-
crime will allow her affections. to be
Influenced by fathers antagonism, and
| don't believe she has broken the en-
gagement.
"You know, 1t is a real case of love
between those two, and 1 am pretty
sure that they nav an understanding.
I would not be surprised to see the
duke in this country again this winter.
"Of course, you must understand that
there are a number of things that must
be taken into consideration. One is
that Katherine would AVE to become a
Roman Catholic, another is that Kath-
crime does not fancy the idea of being
snubbed by the royal family. h is a
typical American girl, with a whole lot
of native pride, and believes our blood
as good as any Italians, no matter how
high his station. Money has nothing
to do with it. katherine has more
money now than she could ever spend
in a lifetime and the duke is very
wealthy himself. Now, it's simply a
case of father not liking a daughter Of
his entangled in a foreign marriage"

from the laundry to the kitchen. She
stayed in the house ten days"
"How do you know she did," asked
Frank p. McDermott, OF Mrs. Meyer 5
counsel, on the cross-examination.
"She old me So"
did you see herr"
mo, but she called me up on the
telephone and told me she had broken
In and l recognized her voice"
After several wv not to Mr..
McDermott's liking, Meyer admitted
that he did not know of his own visual
knowledge"
Meyer Their testified that since Oc-
tober 2 last Mrs. Meyer and Margaret
had been occupying the South Orange
house while he. his mother and sister
lived in New York following his re-
fusal to receive her upon her return
from Europe August 10.
Later Meyer was asked if his daugh-
ter Margaret had been living in the
South Orange house with her mother
since October 2.
II do not know it of my own visual
knowledge" he replied sarcastically,
after he had given his testimony on
cross-examination with considerable
acerbity.
Thanks retorted Mr.. McDermott,
you We're careful to get that point in
this time"
1t was argued by counsel for the de-
Tense that to award the child to her
fathers custody would be removing it
from the jurisdiction of the New Jer-
sey courts, although the fathers New
York residence was a temporary one.
Meyer testified that his wife had left
their child repeatedly to the care of
his mother and sister, and that she had
gone abroad for months at a time
while they cared for Margaret. The
arrangement whereby Mrs. Meyer had
left Margaret with his mother and sis
ter had been made by the defendant
herself, he said, and was continued for
nearly two years, or from May, 1897,
to October, 1908. He saw no reason
why it should be terminated. His in
come and a salary of $1,000 a year were
adequate to provide for them, he con-
sidered.
Mrs. Charles Meyer and Miss Elise
Meyer, who had come from New York
to testify, declared that Mr.. Meyers
remarks were true so far as their car
ing for Margaret was concerned.
Went Abroad for Her Health.
The defense declared that Mrs. Meyer
had gone to Europe for her health, and
asked Mr.. Meyer if his wife didn't
have a trained nurse attending her.
Helping her to pack her trunks;
that was ALL" said Meyer.
WAS your wife ill.,"
II had no visual knowledge of that
fact, if she was" responded Meyer.
Nearly an hour was consumed at the
outset of the case by an argument be-
tween Alfred n. Skinner. counsel for
Meyer, and Sherrerd Depue, Mrs.
Meyers counsel, as to whether the APP
plication of Meyer for the child should
be decided at this time, or postponed
until after the divorce proceedings were
decided.

m Interest.
"Can you supply a reason for it,
Indeed I cam declared the candidate
positively. "Since the monopolies nave
obtained control of the market the cost
of living has greatly increased. Nat
urally the women were the first to OBJ
serve this fact, especially the wives or
working men, and men who have to live
on fixed salaries. Clothing, articles of
food, everything has gone Up, so that
people who are not rich have been de-
prived of much. The standard of Amer
lean living mas been substantially low
cred on account of high tariff and spe-
cial legislation in the interests of GER
tain classes"
Mr.. Kern looked reflectively out Of
the window at the park, which was
rapidly disappearing into the dusk, and
continued: women, finding prices
high, have become interested in finding
out the reason. Inquiry has led them
to find that it is a political question;
that the party in power, by it's legisla-
ton in the interests of a few, has en-
couraged and developed the monopolis-
tic idea; that the remedy for it is to
return to the old-fashioned Democratic
doctrine that there should be no spe-
cial privileges in this country; that it's
laws should ne equal, and the door of
opportunity should be opened to all
alike; and that If private monopolies
are stricken down the cost of living will
come back to where it was, and men
will be enabled to live well within their
salaries"

there, as in Europe, is in practice
around - to IS per cent. A consid-
cradle trade exists for hard wheat
-four with the Danish merchant mills.
Some blend it with the home product
in the process Of milling, while others
buy it for distribution to their trade.
The bakers producing the highest
class OF goods must have American
flour to give them the peculiar COM
bination of strength and color not pos
sessed by the home mills. although the
latter are making good goods of the
blended kinds to which they are linn
tied. Bleaching of -four is not done

American blended flour might be mar
keted to a considerable extent as
against the home milled f1ours of like
description. The household variety
could be met in quality by our soft

onals," Mr.. Davis continues. THE

more than half the importations 20

1can toodstufs, yet it Is also true that
sentiment and conditions are favora-
bic to some extension Of trade. The
imports of American flour have come
from few mills. Hard wheat -four is
most largely imported. Much soft
wheat flour is used, this being almost
wholly of home production. While
our flour trade with other countries
has fallen off in recent years, the re-
verse is the case in Denmark, which
took, in 1907, more -four from Amer.
lea than from any other country. and
bought more in 1907 than in 1906, the
quantity purchased being more than
twice that in 1903. 1904 or 1905. the
amount for 1905 equaling about 100000
barrels.'' Mr.. Davis SAYS that there
are fine harbor facilities at Copen-
hagen. which has facilities for land
ing, storing and handling imports
without duty until sent into the city
or the interior. Large steamships can
get to the docks without inconveni-
ence. The matter of distribution from
Copenhagen. by barges and small
craft. to all ports on the Baltic and
North seas, is covered fully. sailings
being frequent to all ports. The re-
port says that the mainland part OF
Denmark and some of the islands are
which are under government control
The rates for carload lots of ten tons
are practically as low as by steamship
and barges. The local milling indus
try is represented by about thirty
flour mills ranging from 800 to 1000
barrels daily capacity, besides 5000
small mills, the majority of which are
driven by wind or water and are not
used for making much -four. but are
mostly used for crushing grains for
feeding purposes. Nearly, if not all.
the larger mills grind rye as we'll as
wheat. They are generally modern in
build and equipment, steampower be-
ing used in the case of the larger mer.
chant mills. The export Danish bust
ness has fallen off recently, owing to
competition with America, England
and principally Germany Two
classes of flour seem to be the rule in
Denmark flour production, designated
as bakers and household says Mr..
Davis. THE bakers as ordinarily
made is classification Of the various
grades made from a blend of about 20
per cent Of hard foreign wheat and 80
Per cent of the soft Danish wheat
The household -four is made Of a
blend, say, Of 10 per cent of hard
wheat with 80 per cent Of homegrown
or German or other soft wheat, and
the flour is practically a straight run.
not more than 8 to 5 per cent Of low
grade being taken out. In Denmark.
as in Germany, the figures used by the
millers themselves in designating
grade percentages are based on the
flour extraction of IS per cent of the
weight of the wheat. Thus a patent
termed 60 per cent here is virtually
what would be known as 80 per cent
in the United States, since the millers
in America generally base upon 100
per cent as representing the entire ex-
traction Of -four from the wheat. which
