JOHN D. SCOFFS AT RUMORS
OF PLOT AGAINST HIS LIFE.
"0h, Pshawr' He Says On Ar
rival in New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-"Oh, pshawl
oh, pshaw!" said John D. Rockefeller
smilingly today, as he alighted from a
train from Cleveland and told that he
had been marked for kidnapping or
perhaps killing in his home city. The
head of the Standard Oil Company was
accompanied here by his wife, who is
quite i'll.
why, there's nothing to that story
at ALL" added Mr.. Rockefeller. 1T all
seems to have been started because /
did not make a speech I had promised
at the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church,
in Cleveland. The condition of my wife's
health prevented that, that's all. My
wife is a very sick woman, and / came
here at this time, instead of earlier, be-
cause of her health. Also, business
called me at this time. I'm not the
least bit worried about this story"
Harold S. Smith, of Minerva, o., told
the Cleveland police yesterday that he
had overheard a plot in Alliance, O., to
kidnap or kill Mr.. Rockefeller.
