NEW YORK. May 2S.-Will
young Henry Rogers II rule over
the domains of Rogers, or will a
regent be appointed until he
reaches his financial majority?
This Is one of the first questions
wall st. asked when 1t learned of
the death of H. H. Rogers, the
telder.
The general belief is that the
new king will take tn scepter him
jself.
Henry H. Rogers, jr., is the first
of the circle of second generation
oil-copper-steel millionaires to be
tested. The 'Rockefellers, Morgan,
Stillman, Perkins are still in the
harness. The elder Rogers death
! is the first break In the old crowd
which has made itself dominant in
finance within the last 80 years.
But 1t can't be very many years
before they are all gone. What
after? Will the second oil-copper
generation follow the example of
the Astors and go in for foreign IT,
tiles, leaving business to managers
and clerks-and new Million

Henry H. Rogers, jr., has been
best known to the world through
his ambitions to be a military man,
via the national guard route. He
Figured in the court-martial Of Col.
Dyer while he was captain In the
Twelfth regiment of the New York
militia.
The court-martial released Dyer,

mess unpleasant, jumped to the

there he went to the famous Sixty

The general Industrial situation,
as reflected in the labor press of
the country and reports made to
city central and national organiza-
Itions by local unions, is distinctly
in nearly every occupa-
|tion. There has been a pronounced
increase of employment in the
building trades, there are few men
idle In the printing business, and
activity in the clothing trades is
also quite marked. The journals of
the railway employees show that
transportation is becoming greatly
stimulated, and iron and steel pro-
duction Is gaining every month.
Mining is still somewhat dull,
but gradually improving, as is
work in textile and metal and
wood manufacturing. Many unem-
ployed have been gravitatfng to-
ward the rural districts during the
past year and engaging In farm
