DE VkIES BOB> i
NOW AFTER MORGAN.
Rockefeller q Disappointment
Only $50 100000 Needed.

Peter .-lexander de Vries is greatly dis
appointed in John D Rockefeller For
months the eccentric young Hollander has
been endeavoring to raise $50 O0a coo to
drain the Zuyder Zee, and caused a sensa-
ton at the Rockefeller home in Cleveland
last summer by his drastic methods to at
tain this end
If Mr.. Rockefeller wants to see me
now" said De Vries last night he will
have TO come to the Holland House, I am
very much disappointed in him, and am
convinced that he is not at all the man
thought he was"
Having lost his faith in Mr.. Rockefeller.
DeVries recently has been trying to bring
his project to the attention of J. Pierpont
Morgan, with Indifferent success Not at
all discouraged, however. he determined
last night TO appeal directly TO the Amer
lean people. He wrote out the following
signed statement, which he wished printed.
Mr.. Rockefeller has definitely refused to
help me. Who viii help me and give money
to make the ZuYder Zee dry? Please send
the money to Mr.. John Pierpont Morgan
De Vries said ne did not expect, 20 get the
whole $50, O00-that is. right awav-hut
he thought he could get $40 600 900 just for
a starter, and with this capital on hand he
was sure the Queen of Holland would make
certain CONCESSIONS WfHcn WoulQ make more
capital unnecessary a I the beginning
When asked why he had directed to have
the money sent 10 Mr.. Morgan he replied
that it was to inspire confidence in the
scheme.
Has Mr. Morgan consented to the use of
his name?" he was asked.
NO. he has not" replied De Vries; 7
have not had an opportunity to ask him.
But am sure that when the money comes
pouring in he will not throw it away. II
he viii not hold it I will take it myself and
put it in a bank. But those are details
that can be arranged later"
De Vries spoke bitterly of MI RoCkefel-
Ter. saying that he had been accorded shame
ful treatment. In fact, the young HOl
lander admitted that he had authentic in
formation to the effect that Mr. Rockefeller
was responsible for all the ridiculous stories
which appeared in the press about him.
De Vries made appointment al 10.15
o'clock last night to see q, reporter at 1880 At
the Holland House. where he is living. He had
disappeared when the reporter arrived but
returned half an hour later and apoIogized
for his absence, saying that he had fallen
asIeep in his room and had suddenly woke
up with the realization that he had a
ticker TO the Metropolitan Opera House. Al
though the last act was on. he hurried to
the performance and returned few min
utes later.

mitchell FOR STIPULATION.

President Mitchell believes that the COM
pany should stipulate now, as condition
to the continuance of the work. that 1t
will ask the city when streets are cut
through In the future to pay no more than
one-half of what the cost would be for two
tracks.
MIR Shepard said after the meeting that
this point was a fair one for discussion
The company will be willing to take II
up with the proper authorities" he said.
and 1 am sure will be willing to do any
thing that IS reasonable It must be re-
nenbered, however, that the company is
expending large amount of money in this
work and that the city is being benefited
by our Improvement and will be incTeas-
ingly benefited as time goes on and before
many Of these streets are opened"
As for the contention Of the former Cor
roration Counse. that the company is re-
quired TO get a franchise for crossing the
existing streets with six more tracks. Mr.
Shepard contended that the entire distance
from Sunnyside TO Jamaica was included
in the terminal and yards.
"A terminal he said. properly includes
all the yards and tracks used in storing
cars and making up trains We intend 70
use some of the tracks all the way to ia
naica for that purpose. If this part of
our system is a terminal we are not re-
quired 10 get special franchise to extend
our facilities in this district According
to our charter. we are Obliged to provide
ample terminal facilities We are under
compulsion to do this work to increase
such facilities. Any limitations as 10 in
creasing our trackage does not apply TO
terminals"
At the meeting of the Board of Estimate
Mayor Gaynor expressed himself as being
opposed to placing any unnecessary OBJ
stacles in the way of the Improvements
and suggested that the representatives of
the company and the Corporation Counsel
try TO reach some sort of an agreement
without the bringing of suit

Mitchell UPHELD
BOARD BACKS HIN.
Mayor Totes for His l.. /.
Railroad Resolution.

After considerable discussion. in which
Edward NJ Shepard. as counsel for the
company. took part the resolution of Pres
ident Mitchell of the Board Of Aldermen
looking to a protection Of the cttys In
terests in connection with the improve
ments being made by the Long Island
Railroad between Long Island City ana
Jamaica was adopted by the Board of Es-
innate yesterday
There is no disposition on the part of
the board to delay the Improvements un-
duly but President Mitchell holds that the
only way 70 determine the right OF the
city 10 require the company to obtain a
special franchise for crossing the streets
already opened with six instead of two
tracks as at present, is for the Corpora
tion Counsel to institute a suit restraining
the company from continuing the work
This point is only matter Of principle
for every one is in favor Of the addltional
tracks But the important point is tnat
if the company must get a franchise Ger
tain stipuIations may be required Wn1ch
will save the city more than s1,0oorooo
when ii comes to cutting through streets
now on the map but not yet opened
Under the grade crossing act the city Is
required to pay one-half the expense at
tendant upon abolishing grade crossings
or obviating them when new streets are
cut through railroads right Of way To
carry a street over six tracks or to carry
six tracks over street on bridge would
of course, be much more expensive than
in the case of two tracks Mr. Mitchell
holds that the city should be required 70
pay no more than one-half the cost OF the
work for two tracks.

itching, Scaling Scalp Humor was
Making 1t All Fall 0ut-Two Doc
tors Could Not Stop the Trouble
Niece Advised Using Cuticura.
CURED HER SCALP AND
MADE HAIR GROW AGAIN

my mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it 1 had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in to see her and
they were speaking Of how her hair was
falling out and the doctors did it no
good. She says, Aunt, why don't you
try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her, so she soon began bathing with the
Cuticura Soap and amounting with the
Cuticura Ointment, and in six months
time the itching, burning and scaling
of her head was over and her hair began
growing. To-day she feels very much
in debt to Cuticura Soap and Ointment
for the fine head CT hair she has for
an old lady seventy-four years old.
ain regard to my own case, mine was
an eczema something like hers. 1t was in
my feet. As soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Th>n I thought l would fee to my
nIather s friends, CUtiCura Soap and Cuti-
cars Ointment. l did for four or five
winters and now my feet are as smooth
as any ones. Ellsworth Durham, Hiram,

WILL VANISH
JUST A LITTLE DIAPEPSIN
MAKES YOUR OUT-OF-ORDER
STOMACH FEEL FINE IN
ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.

Take your sour, out-of-order stom.
ach-or maybe you call it Indigestion
Dyspepsia, Gastritis or Catarrh OF
Stomach; it doesn't matter-take
your stomach trouble right with you
to your Pharmacist and ask him to
open a 50-cent case of Pape's DiaDeD.
sin and let you eat one 22-grain Tri.
angule and see IL within five minutes
there is left any trace of your former
misery.
The correct name for your trouble
is Food Fermentation-food souring:
the Digestive organs become weak
there is lack of gastric juice; your
food is only half digested, and Won
become affected with loss of appetite
pressure and fullness after eating,
vomiting. nausea, heartburn, griping
in bowels, tenderness in the Dit of
stomach, bad taste in mouth, consti.
patton, pain in limbs, sleeplessness
beiching of gas, biliousness, sick
headache, nervousness, dizziness or
many other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and moth.
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or il
you feel bloated after eating, or your
food lies like a lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause-fermentation of undf
gested food.
Prove to yourself in five minutes
that your stomach is as good as any:
that there is nothing really wrong
Stop this fermentation and begin eat
ing what you want without fear OF
discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting fol
soon you take a little Diapepsin. sss
