Alexander, Standard Oil Mil
lionaire, Discovered
Boy Was Gambling.

New York. March 11.-How James
H. Alexander, colleague and confidant
of John d. Rockefeller, rebuked his
young son and left a brokers' office
in a huff when he discovered that the
youths initial plunge in Wall street
had netted him $4,000 was told in the
multi-millionaire's suit against the
firm of w. NJ Imbrie and company.
brokers, for the recovery of 200 shares
Blanchard in the supreme court.
The multi.millionaire explained how
his younger son, Earle, had entered
the Imbrie firm and how he was an
xious to start Howard, another son on
a business career.
Boy Proved Adept.
In 1907 Mr. Alexander deposited zoo
shares, worth $4,000, with the I'm.
brie concern as security for his own
account Howard manifested desire
to become broker like his brother
and the father told James Imbrie to
lots on the fathers security in the
firms hands. Howard quickly proved
an adept at the intricacies of Wall
street.
About two months later the father
visited the Imbrie firm. AS he enter
ed the cashiers office he saw check
for $4,000 drawn in favor of his sor
Howard. He summoned the boy to
Mr.. 1mbrie's private office.
Young Alexander proudly told his
father he had won $4,000 in a few
weeks. He was surprised at his par
ent's retort:
Calls Son Gambler.
Young man, you have been gam
bling. Your conduct has been outrag
eous left word here that you NIGH
trade in 200 shares and you have beer
plunging in $500 and maybe LOO
share lots"
| Then the irate father, he swore to
day gave the personal directions t
James Imbie that he would no longel
/ be responsible for his sons trading
and notified the firm he had with
drawn the Standard Oil shares as thu
sons security. The stock was lef
with the firm, he asserts, but was t.
be used only as sucurity to guarantee
his own trading.

WAR SUPPLY TRAIN
WAS IN THE CITY
Ten Cars Filled with Ammu-
nition-Tenth Regiment
Will Not Come. Here.

Ten car loads of ammunition pass
ed through Richmond Friday evening,
enroute to Fort Sam Houston, Texas,
where the United States regulars are
being modified. The shipment was
made from an Eastern city and is be-
ing rushed to the Southwest by ex-
press. 1t was stored in steel cars. Ac-
cording to press dispatches the am.
munitions being shipped to the front
in order that there will be sufficient
supply if an emergency arises.
Efforts made by the local commit
tee in charge of the G. A. r. encamp-
ment held here in May. to secure the
Tenth U. S. Infantry, stationed at FIT
Benjamin Harrison, indianapolis as an
attraction for the big event, have
been rendered fruitless because of the
regiment being sent to the Mexican
border. There was a good prospect
of securing the regiment which has
been in this city twice, until the order
for the mobilization of regulars in
Texas was issued. The committee is
greatly disappointed but an effort
may be made to have the governor
send some state troops here for the
event.
A subcommittee appointed by the
local G. A. r. executive committee tc
secure the Tenth Infantry composed
of Capt. Paul Comstock and w. r
Poundstone, several weeks ago~visiteC

was probable the war department
would permit the regiment to parti
cipate in the G. A. r. encampmen1
in this city providing the local com
mittee would pay the cost of trans
porting the regiment to and from it:
post to Richmond. An effort was OF
foot to raise this money and to secure
the permission of the war department
when the order was issued transfer
ing the regiment to Texas. 1t is prob
able that the Tenth may be stationed
in Texas for several months and thu
report is out that at the expiration o
that time it may be sent to Panam;

service within few months, conse

OLDEST RULER NOW
NINETY YEARS OLD
Anniversary of Luitpold, Re-
gent of Bavaria, Cele-
brated, Sunday.
american News Service)

Munich, March 1.-THE ninetieth
birthday anniversary of Prince Luit-
pold, regent of Bavaria and the dean
of European rulers. will be celebrated
tomorrow with national rejoicings on
an unusually extensive scale. Al
ready the venerable regent is in re-
from Emperor Wilhelm and the heads
of the reigning houses of the empire.
Tomorrow tie deums will be chanted
throughout the kingdom in honor of
the aged ruler, military reviews will
be held and the people will indulge in
many forms OF festivity.
No German prince now living has
played more important role in the
history of Germany and. indeed of CEN
trail Europe. throughout the last fifty
or sixty years Although he was new
er proclaimed as king. he has virtual
ly ruled the kingdom of Bavaria for
more than sixty years. During the
lifetime of his father, King Louis l..
who forfeited his throne for the sake
of Lola MonteZ, the famous adventur-
er, Prince Luitpold was to a great ex-
tent entrusted with the executive du-
ties of royalty, the entire time and at
tenetion of his more or less mentally
unbalanced father being monopolized
by his love affair which eventually
led to the revolution of 1S4S.
Macmillan II, who then succeeded
to the throne, was in such a chronic
state of i'll health that he surrendered
most of his responsibilities as a mon
arch into the hands of his younger
brother Luitpold. The late King
Louis II. who came to the throne at
the death of his father Maximilian, al
though in excellent physical health,
was SO eccentric and SO full of his fan.

that he gladly left the task of govern.
ing the kingdom to his uncle Luitpold
During all those years Prince Luitpold
although actually regent. was not Off
cially recognized as such. This Off
cial recognition did not come to him
until after the death of King Louis In
| 1886, when a formal appointment of a
regent became necessary owing to the
fact that the successor to the throne
his nephew Otto, was incurably in
sane and utterly unat to assume the
duties of his position.
Asked to Become King.
Since the death of the unfortunate
Louis II. Prince Luitpold was repeat
eddy asked by the rulers of the sove
reign states of the German empire ant
by influential men his own country t.
assume the title of king and to be
come the founder of a new dynasty
but he invariably refused, taking the
ground that such a step would ado
neither to his power nor his prestige
while it could not fail to impair in the
eyes of the masses that respect fol
the principle of legitimacy and Of
right divine which is the basis of the
monarchical system in the old world
During all the years of his regency hi
never touched a penny of the civil
list which the constitution of Bavaris
provides for the sovereign. The money
has been devoted to the liquidation O
the enormous debts of King Louis II
and is now accommodating as a specia
fund of the crown.
Prince Luitpold has led an active
and eventful life ever since 1885, wheI

Chicago, March 11.-Woman was
outdone in what usually is looked up
on as her own particular stronghold,
when a mana mere man, and one

a first prize at the annual domestic

Herbert B. milford, 931 Twelfth
street, Wilmette, employed at the Har-
ris Trust and Savings Company bank,
and the women judges hung the blue
| ribbon of supremacy on his culinary
connection without bubble.
When Mr.. milford first thought of
entering the competition a question
arose as to the eligibility of a man in
a contest by woman's club. Howev-
er, the announcements declared it
would be open to the public, and that
let him in at once. So Mr. milford
mixed batter. whipped frosting
and made six of the most tantalizing
dessert favorites. They were not very
big, but high and all white, with
bright halved strawberries on top.
Mrs. milford took them to the exhib-
it.
Only Cooking He Does.
"No, Mr.. milford doesn't do any
other cooking" she explained, and
I guess he makes shortcakes only be-
cause he is so fond of the. He is very
good at it, but it is the only thing he
can make"
| Mrs. c. n. Reese and Mrs c. X.
Brown, as judges of the desserts, were
the women who gave Mr.. milford the
blue ribbon for half dozen entries
The affair drew large crowd. The
proceeds from exhibits sold went to

and eighth grades. in white saps and
aprons, attended tables loaded with
