ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION TO
BE BIGGEST OF CHARITIES

NEW YORK, Mar. 3.-Among char
tiles, the new Rockefeller foundation
is to become what the Standard Oil
company long has been among cor
porations, and John D. Rockefeller
Jr., as its head, will in another sphere
of influence perpetuate the domination
SO long maintained in the world of
business by his father.
The younger Rockefeller announc-
ed today that he had recently retired
from the directorate of the Standard
Oil company to assume the manage
ment of his fathers benefactions, of
which he thus becomes almoner in
chief. No successor has been named
to fill his place in the oil company
The announcement in Wall street
was taken to mean two things-that
all past estimates of young Rockefel-
lers future must now be revised, and
that hereafter the Rockefeller mill
ions will no longer be a market fac
tor. Instead, it is assumed, they will
pass wholly into conservative securi-
ties
John d. Rockefeller, Jr, is 33 years
old. Greeted on his graduation from
Brown University some years ago as
IN prospect the richest young man OF
the world, he now leaves the field to
J. Z. Morgan Jr., ten years his elder
1t is not thought likely that the new
foundation for philanthropy, as pro-
posed by the bill introduced in the
United States senate yesterday. will
assume settled policies for years to
come. But in this Connection Freder-
lex T. Gates. one of the incorporators
of the foundation, said today:
There are no sectarian boundary
lines in the charter of the new foun-
dation, and nothing to prevent it from
absorbing the work of other organiza-
tions which have outlived their use
fulness and present conditions"
Mr.. Gates was understood to mean
that there will be a gradual merger
of the Rockefeller charities. The gen.
eral understanding among those in
the confidence of the family coincide
with that of Senator Gallinger, who
introduced the bill to incorporate the
foundation, when he said that he be-
lieved the bulk of the Rockefeller
fortune ultimately would be devoted
TO the work.

Under Probe

CHICAGO, Mar. 3.-Federal investi-
cation of the oleomargarine industry
here was ordered by Judge Landis in
afternoon after the court had listened
to the testimony of three men who had
pleaded guilty to charges of violating

Lands on Monday, but after hearing
the story of the three men the court
directed United States Marshal Hoy
not to execute the sentence until fur
Their notice. The sentence of Dries
bach and BortZ was deferred.

ing the white oleomargarine from
manufacturers, who he said furnished
him with the coloring. and of selling
the illegally colored product to res

the product when the place was raid
ed and escaping by a secret stairway

'moonshiners" had an organization tC
maintain. high prices and that one OF
the members had been slugged, be-
cause he cut prices.
William Broadwell described meth
DDS used to dodge" revenue collec-
tors. At one time he said he had Is
tubs of Oleomargarine stored at the
Monkey plant and when the revenue
collector made a raid on his place he
had the stuff shifted from place tC
place.
The witness said he was president
| of the Association of Oleo MoonShin-
ers," which was organized in 1907. The
organization kept books concerning
their dealings, but finally the members
decided to have the books burned
Broadwell testified that an employee OF
the Monkey plant showed nim how tC
use the coloring and that John Dadie
SON. in-law of Monkey, always took
care of a bond for him when he was
arrested.
1t is expected the grand jury investi-
cation will be begun on Monday.

Trains Leave Ogden For West

SALT LAKE, Mar. 3.-Rail COM

been reestablished over the Oregon
Short Line and oregon Railroad and
Navigation line. The three trains
which left Ogden last night have pas
sed the bad track on the Idaho divi-
sion of the Short Line, near Glenns

that passenger traffic over that line
will be normal in "a hours.
Seven days may pass before the
Southern Pacific can run through
trains across Nevada. Palisade is the
center of the flood district and is en-
tirely isolated. Sub trains have been
started from Ogden to Carlin, on the
east, and from San Francisco to Bat
tie Mountain, west of Palisade. Be-
tween those points, three large bridges
were carried away by flood waters.
A decline of about three feet in the
level of the overlooking Nevada
streams was reported today and it is
thought they will continue to sub

The Western Pacific is in good or

meets with the Nevada Northern, and

In the case of the peach, annual
pruning is an essential to profitable
fruit production. The fruit of the peach
is borne only on the wood which grew
the preceding year, and for this reason
nature endows this tree with a strong
growth, the shoots usually growing
three feet and more. AS near as any
rule can be laid down, it may be said
that this new growth should be cut
back from one-third to one-half.
