ROCKEFELLER 70
YEARS OLD TODAY

, He has kept lobbyists at the capital
and has influenced legislation through
agents for years, and yet
Had he been ambitious for personal
power the evils which he might have
worked with his great wealth nthe
destinies of any nation are incalula-
BILE.
He has developed markets all over
the world.
His company carts oil from door TO
doo, in Germany and Portugal and in
other countries, as it does in America.
He never speculates-he deals only
with those things which other people
have proved sure.
His great principle in business:
PAY a profit to nobody"
His great principle in religion: The
Golden Rule.
He has a genius for detail, and at
the same time a Napoleonic sense of
big and vital factors.
His corporations employ 100000
men, women and children.
He plays golf for exercise.
He was an old man at 60, but
through care. careful diet and exercise,
is young man at 20.
Does not smoke; does not drink.
He is a moral man, of blameless pri-
vate life.
He has small, keen, steel blue, rest
less eyes.
He has a wide, thin-lpped, rest
less mouth, scanned at the corners
with lines of repression and tenacity.
His face is rather ruddy not lined
but crevassed with long, deep seams.
His shoulders are somewhat stopped
and his body is long and out of pro-
portion to the length of his legs.
He has no eyebrows, his head is alb
solutely hairless and he wears an
iron gray wig.
His speech is low, deliberate, agree
able and has something of the tythm'c
cadence of a preacher
His old acquaintances describe him
as a cautious, sOft-footed, ow-spoken,
secretive old man.

straining of the weaker parts. A man
to be in perfect physical condition must
make his athletic work a part of his

and so bring the body slowly into

they are doing in forcing their athletes

Go Slowly.

Months may be required to get
some athletes up to their best form
and the same conditions apply to track
as to field events. Distance runners
should take a large amount of general
athletic exercise to strengthen the
whole body as we'll as the legs, and
particularly should this work, possibly
in modified form, be continued
through the winter I don't expect to
make any very radical changes in the
form of athletic training at Celtic park
Practical experience and knowledge of
the men, with gradual changes to meet
the requirements necessary to secure
better results, will guide my course"

Robertson Has New Ideas.

Robertson has number of new ideas
In training which he will gradually
work out on his charges at Celtic park.
He says that no general rule can be
followed in training, but that careful
study Of each man is necessary to de-
termine the amount of work required
and the lines to be followed by each
one. One athlete, he says, may need an
extraordinary amount of exercise and
he forced to do certain stunts. while
another must be restrained in order
that he shall not overdo himself The
main thing, he claims. to secure physi-
cal perfection is to build up the body
generally, being particularly careful as
to the condition of the heart.
.The greatest fault" said Mr. Robert
son comes from failure to get into
condition slowly, So that the whole
bodv-muscles and vital organs alike

lection. and then there will be no

AS the battleships came in today

none the worse for the wear of the
long voyage of 42.227 miles, equal to
almost twice the distance around the

he House adjourned.

The river and harbor bill, carrying
an appropriation of about $780,
600 was passed by the Senate Satur-
day. All paragraphs giving authori-
ty to the Federal government to de-
velop and lease water-power were
stricken from the bill except in the
case of the St. Mary's river in which
case it was provided that the consent
of Michigan should be obtained be-
fore making any such lease. This
action was to maintain the principles
that the water-power belongs exclu-
sivelv to the States in which it is To-
Gated.

The long fight of the discharged
negro soldiers of the Twenty-ffth In
fantry for an opportunity to prove
their innocence in connection with
the "shooting up" of Brownsville,
Tex. on the night of August 18th,
1906. was won Friday when the
House by vote of 21O to 1O1 passed
the Senate bill to that end, Violent
opposition was encountered from
members of the Texas delegation and
others, as the vote shows. but their
efforts were m:iavailing.
The general deficiency bill was TAX
en up and passed. the aggregate
amount carried by it being over $17,-
100000.
A number of miscellaneous bills
and conference reports were also dis
posed of.
A lively tilt between Speaker Can
non and Mr.. Gaines. of Tennessee,
furnished something of scene.
Each claimed the other had insulted
him, and before Mr.. Gaines would
take his seat the mace. the emblem of
authority. was ordered from its place
and the sergeant-at-arms directed to
place it before the Tennessee mem
ber. Mr.. Gaines sat down before the
official got to him and was thus spar
ed from the disgrace implied by
such acts. The last occasion on
which the mace was similarity used
was in the Fifty-fourth Congress.
After many years of discussion Of
the subject hitherto without result, a
Joint resolution was adopted: approv-
ing plans reducing the size of. the
