H. II. ROGERS INTERESTS
Question as to Who viii Succeed in
Management of Great Properties

New York. May 21.-There is a
great deal of interest in Wall street
as to who will succeed to the control
of the affairs of II. H. Rogers who
| died Wednesday, whether II. II. Rog-
ers, Jr,, or the son-in-law. Urban II.
Broughton, would become the business
head OF the family.
Henry H. Rogers, .lr., is in ais thir.
tieth year and has been active for
several years in National Guard af-
| fairs. He entered the guard as a lieu
tenant in the Twelfth Regiment and
afterward became captain. He re
signed from the Twelfth and went in
TO the Twenty-second as a lieutenant
| He was anxious to become lieutenant
colonel of tne seth and two cleo
| tons were held to select an officer for
the place but because of no choice the
matter was thrown finally into the
hands of Governor Hughes, who APP
pointed Lieut.. Daniel Conley.
1t was not at first supposed that
young Mr.. Rogers would become pro-
minently identified with business but
after the panic of 1907 II. II. Rogers
Jr., was often at his fathers elbow.
| He became director in most of the
corporations in which his father held
| directorships. There is considerable
speculation as to whether the son
would take Charge or be guided by
the matured experience of Urban II.
Broughton.
Fl. H. Rogers Jr, lives at 26 East
Fifty-seventh street and has a coun-
try house at Tuxedo. He married
Miss Mary Benjamin. He is a mem
Der of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fra
ternity of the Racquet and Tennis the
Seawanhaka, Corinthian and other
clubs. He was a student at Column
bia
Mr.. Broughton is upward of fifty
years of age and has had charge of a
great deal of Mr.. Rogers business He
was active in the building of the Vir
ginia Railway He married Clara
Rogers whose first husband was Brad
ford Duff several years ago.

rather gruesome sight. DR.. Potter
said that he could not state without
examination whether it mad been
worn off against rock in the water
or was torn off while he was alive.
Inc autopsy will show this and also
if the skull is fractured.
DIR. b. II. Stone. pathologist of the
state laboratory at Burlington was no
tilted by telephone and will probably
reach here on the flyer this after
noon. States Attorney w. ]. Meag-
ner is in Windsor on the Sargood case
but will reach home tonight or early
in the morning.
At the point where the body was
found the river bank is rather steep
and overhung by willow trees. AT
the time of the discovery Mr.. Mer-
chant was on the east side of the riy-
er and Mr.. Bump was nearly opposite
on the other bank. Robert Potter was
at work on the dam at the mill pond
removing some more plank in the
hope that the pond could be lowered
SO that the entire channel could be
observed.
The three selectmen at once gather
ed at the spot on the bank in front of
which the body lay with one arm rest
ing upon half submerged limb, the
arm had caught and the body had then
swung around so that the feet point
ed down stream
BY means of a crotched stick the
body was pulled in close to the bank
and later by means of rope hitched
out upon tne grass and covered with
blanket.
DIR. e. f. Potter soon arrived on
the scene but made no physical ex-
animation of the body but on the ar
rival of Sheriff Godfrey and Deputy
Sheriff Nash he and DIR. Barber as
sisted the officials In a search OF the
dead mans person. In the right hand
pocket of the trousers was found a
pocketbook containing a ten cent and
five cent piece of money. In tne
same pocket was the roll of paper
money which Turner secured from his
mother on the day that he met his
death to make preparations for his
journey to California. There were
five So bills, seven 81 bills and seven
81 bills, making SAC. In the other
trouser pocket was found a 20 cent
piece.
The dead mans watch was In ais
vest pocket but had become detached
from the chain.
The officials were somewhat at q
loss to know just what action to take
| In accordance with arrangements
made soon after the tragedy occurred
Walbridges ambulance was at once
sent to Pownal but at noon no dispos
ition of the body had been made fur
Their than to wrap it in the blanket
and place 1t under guard. One pro
posal was TO take ii to the carriage
house of d. T. Bates for the autopsy
When DR.. Potter telephoned to the
state laboratory at Burlington he was
informed that DR. Stone was at that
time busy on a case but that he would
come to Pownal as soon as he could
get away He may be able TO reach
Bennington on the flyer tais after
noon but the chances are against it.
The body was badly decomposed,
The face was unrecognizable and on
the exposed portions decomposition
had progressed to a marked degree
The hands especially were in bad
shape.

PREDICTS HIGH PRICES
Patten Says Wheat Will Be as Dear
A Year Hence as il Is Now.

Chicago, May 22.-James A. Patten
of the board of trade firm of Bartlett,
Patten & Co, whose operations in
wheat have received national notice
during the last few weeks, reviewed
the wheat situation and gave his opin-
ion of the market in an address before
the Flour's Mems club of Chicago
Il predict" said he, that high pri-
ces prevail all over the world for a
year to come in wheat, and that red
winter wheat (soft wheat will sell
as high in America a year from now
as it is selling today.
Il cannot dwell too strongly on the
law of supply and demand and the
theory that the production of wheat in
the United States has not kept pace
with the increase in population; and
! want to suggest that the trade eacn
year will have to realize this con-
dition in its future dealings. The
wheat lands are cropped to death.
Changes must come, or we will suf-
fer the result"
