OF His Home
J. G. Rockafellow Dies Of Gas Poison

Gated from gas poisoning, Thursday morn
ing. a..
MIR. Rockafellow, who was 81 years old
and was known in the city as a horse
dealer-he formerly had been in the hack
businessman home Wednesday night be-
tween $50 and 9 O'Clock. Shortly after
wards he went to the basement to attend
to the fuTnace. There = a couch In the
apartmenSS and in the morning he was
found by his wife lying upon II, dead.
Rigor mortls had apparently set in several
hours previously.
Mrs. Rockafellow. when approaching the
basement, smelt gas strongly, and when
she entered she found the gas jet turned
on fu.l. The surmise Is that Rockafellow
unthinkingly turned on the gas after he
had turned it off. There is no suspicion
Of suicide.
Mr.. Rockafellow is survived by his wife,
his parents and a brother, who live at
Somerville, N. j., a brother in Canada,

How He Worked Omaha.
Captain Glover appeared in Omaha during

orders, put in his time exploiting numer-
Gus enterprises and in addition to the ex-
ciusively Omaha enterprises organized a
company here to build submarine torpedo
boats at Salt Lake and sold considerable
stock in the company to Omaha parties.
In fact he had any kind of an old scheme
and succeeded in seducing about $3.50 o in
cash away from his Omaha admirers.
Realizing that the uniform of an officer
in the navy would help him out socially
as well as in a business way In Omaha,
he had Mr.. Lipdquest get him up an elab-
crate uniform, the design Of which was
obtained from pictures and samples OF
naval uniforms in thes government exhibit
at the exposition. He pleaded as an excuse
for a new uniform that his old one wat

Lose in Supreme Court

The case of certain citizens of Gil
mer county whose names were stricken
from the registration lists by the reg
istrars, has been decided adversely to
them by the Supreme Court. They
claimed that they We're stricken with
out just cause, while the other side said
they were stricken because they had
not paid their taxes, or for other legal
causes
1t was charged that Judge Morris had
appointed partisan registrars and that
he was disqualified to hear PEE
tition filed by the voters. The case to
compel the restoration of the names
to the list was brought before Judge
Bell. who dismissed it on the ground
that it should have been filed before
Judge Morris. The case was then APP
pealed to the Supreme Court, which
last week handed down a decision re-
straining Judge Bell. The Court holds
that the judge of this circuit is the
proper person to hear the case.

STATUE OF GEN. LEE
IN THE HALL OF FAME
Veterans Adopt Resolutions
On Decision of Atty
Gen. WickerSham.

The Confederate Veterans OF Cobb
county, at their regular monthly
meeting, held at the Court House Tues
day, adopted resolutions expressing
their appreciation of the decision OF
Attorney General Wickersham, OF
President Taft's cabinet, regarding the
statue of General Robert K. Lee in the
Hall OF Fame.
Virginia placed in statuary Hall a
statue of Lee in his Confederate uni
form and the New York g. A. r. pro-
tested and asked that it be removed.
President Taft referred the matter to
Acknowledgement Wickersham who
holds that there is no law under which
the statue could be removed and he
adds:
at is now forty-fve years since the
civil war closed. Robert +. Lee has
come to be generally regarded as typi-
tying not only all that was best in the
cause to which, at the behest of his ma
tive state, he gave his services, but
also the most loyal and unmurmuring
acceptance of the complete overthrow
of that cause.
THAT the state of Virginia should
designate him as one illustrious for
distinguished military service is there
fore natural; that his statue should
be clothed in the Confederate uniform,
thus eloquently testifying to the fact
that magnanimous country has COM
pletely forgiven an unsuccessful effort
to destroy the Union and that statue
should be accepted in the national
staturary hall rs the symbol of the ac-
ceptance without misgivings, Of COM
plete surrender and a renewed loyalty,
should surely provoke no opposition. "
The Veterans at the meeting Tues
day, after discussing with deep feeling
the opinion Of the Attorney. General,
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we have read with
peculiar pleasure and satisfaction the
decision OF Attorney-General Wicker
sham, at the request of President Taft,
declaring that there is no legal restric-
ton in the way OF placing the statue
OF General r. f. Lee, clad in full Con-
federate uniform in Statuary Hall,
where he now takes his place by the
side of that other illustrious Vieginian
General George Washington, the two
representing two OF the noblest charac-
tiers ever produced by our American
civilization.
Resolved further, That we feel
much gratfied at the magnanimous
spirit shown by the Attorney General,
not only in retaining from
any NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. against the
character OF our great leader, but i'm.
putting to him pure and patriotic mo-
tives in the cause he pursued, when
he took up arms in defence OF the
Southern cause"
