F. HoPklNsoN SMITH BACK
Says the Reports of Arab Massacres
In Tripoli are True

New York, Nov 2S.-Among the
passengers arriving yesterday from
Southampton on the White Star liner
Oceanic was f. Hopkinson Smith, au-
thor, painter and engineer, who
spends his summers in Venice and his
winters in this city.
mo matter what is said or done
in Rome or Constantinople, Mr.
Smith said, 1.-THE port of Tripoli and
the surrounding country belongs TO
the Berbers, who are ignorant of di-
plomatic questions and only look up
on the Italians as intruders. The re-
ports of the massacres are true as
know some of the correspondents
who have sent them out, and they are
reliable men.
Il saw an affidavit made by one cor
respondent in which he stated that
he had informed the military author
tiles at Tripoli of family OF four
Arabs who were starving and only
immediate succor would save them
No notice was taken of his request,
and the next day the four Arabs died
from want of food.
"The Italians, If may use a slang
expression, have bitten off more than
they can chew in this war and they
will have a fight on their hands for
years with thehe Berbers."

Eleven Passengers Rescued After

while hundreds of people lined the
shores, unable to go to their assis-

In addition to these, the conductor

RUPERT FAMILY IS
Wet IM|zED BY
FAKE. VETERAN
Homer C. Rogers at His Old
Trick Again
HAS WORKED IT FOR YEARS
Pretends to Have Recently Lost
Daughter and is on His Way to
Soldiers Home

Homer G. Rogers. the fake veteran
OF the civil war who is always on his
way to the Vermont Soldiers Home
in Bennington, has turned up once
more. The scene of Rogers latest eff
forts is the town of Rupert where he
won his way into the good graces of
tender hearted family and depart
ed.
Superintendent Thomas Harmon of
the home has received letter from
Nathan Henry Stafford of Rupert and
the information that it conveyed
showed that the fake veteran was
still at his old tricks. According to
Mr. Stafford the alleged survivor of
the civil war called at the Stafford
home on the night of November 2 in
an exhausted condition from cold and
hunger. The mans story was that
he was on his way to the Vermont
Soldiers Home from Gloversville, N.
Y, where he had recently buried a
daughter. He was given food and
shelter and on the next day began
to work upon the sympathies of the
people who had befriended him. Rog-
ers finally proposed that he be given
home with the Staffords instead of
going to the state institution. He sta
ted that he had a monthly pension
and certain personal possessions and
was able to pay for his board.
Having made his arrangements for
permanent lodgings Rogers stated
that he had business to transact at
Bennington and that it would be nee
essary for him to go there. He was
out of money and Mr.. Stafford loaned
him six dollars for expenses of the
trip here, Rogers assuring his bene-
factor that he would be absent only
over night. Rogers left the Stafford
home on the sixth and nothing has
been heard from him since.
This is not Col lannon's first ex-
perience with Rogers The fake vet
eran has been operating in the same
way over nearly all New England dur
ing the past half dozen years and the
superintendent has received letters
describing the mans methods from
several sections OF Massachusetts and
Maine, and also Vermont.
Rogers sometimes travels under the
name of Jones but his method is the
same in all cases. He is always on
his way to the Vermont Soldiers
Home and has just buried a daughter
In some city or town not far distant
from the locality in which he is work
ing. Some two years ago he appear
ed in Readsboro and made arrange
ments for home during the winter
with a family in that town. On this
occasion there was some valuable fur
niture in North Bennington that re-
quired his personal attention and he
left with a promise to return in a day
or So AS usual he disappeared and
the family that had befriended him
made all kinds of efforts to find the
man. fearing that he had become III
or had died from exposure.

SURVEYING THE NARRows
Next Step In the Problem VIII Be a
Plan for Improvement

Burlington, Nov. 24.-As a result
of reports submitted by the district
engineer, Col Black, an allotment of
$4,000 was made last spring for the
purpose of making a survey of the
Narrows of Lake Champlain, ordered
by one of the late river and harbor
acts. Statistics compiled by the Bur
lington Commercial club and incor-
porated In the report, were OF great
weight in helping 20 secure this re-
suit. The survey will be completed
in the near future.
On the completion OF this survey
a project for the improvements Of
the Narrows must be formulated for
submission to Congress, including a
plan, more or less In detail, for the
improvements and an estimate Of
their cost. The character of the i'm.
provements and the amount OF ex.
penditure justihable must both be
determined by the engineer getting
up the project Lieut.. X. ID. Black
on the expenditure. The engineering
officers duty is to recommend an In.
vestment OF not one cent in excess
of sum, the interest OF which can
be shown with reasonable certainty
to measure the pecunlary benefits to
accrue from the Improvement. On
the other hand, he should not recon-
mend an expenditure too small to re-
allze the full measure Of possible re-
turn to the community.
Lieut.. Black will come to Burling.
ton In December and will speak at
meeting arranged by the Commercial
club for the purpose Of stating the
problem. In the meantime the Com
mercial club will hold a special meet
ing for preliminary discussion Of
this important work, probably next
Tuesday evening.

RockEFELLER's DEFENSE
Says He Did Not Rob the Merritts OF
Their Property.

New York, Nov. 24.-John D.
Rockefeller. in a statement given out
last night, answers the charges maze
by the Merritt brothers before the
Stanley steel investigating committee
regarding the methods used by Mr.
Rockefeller in obtaining control OF
the Mesaba ore mines and the Duluth
Mlssabe and Northern railroad, ana
points out that these charges were
denied under oath as long ago as 1879
in the litigation over the Lake Su-
perior Consolidated iron mines. lie
further submits the text OF paper
bearing the date of January %, 1897,
10 which are attached the names OF
Alfred and Leonidas Merritt and AL
the other members OF the family, by
which they declare themselves salts
fed that neither Mr. Rockefeller nor
his agents committed fraud or made
Misrepresentation in the matter in
question.
Mr.. Rockefeller next sets torth
what he says are the facts with re-
gard to the loans" about which the
Merritts testified, and denies that
such loans were ever called by him.
The statement, was issued last night
from 26 Broadway.
The Rockefeller statement con
tinues: The loans aggregating S42O,'
600 we're made by Mr.. Rockefeller In
various amounts during the summer
of 1893. Mr. Rockefeller never called
these loans. In February, 1894, the
Merritt brothers, being pressed by
other creditors, applied TO Mr.. Rookie
Teller for further assistance. In
stead of calling his loan, as they
charge, he furnished them an addit'
ional sum of s4SO,OO0 They sold him
O.OOO shares of stock at SO share,
amounting to 100000, the several
members of the family contributing
different proportions.
"For one-half of this, more than
enough to cover his loan to them, he
gave to each of them an option to re
purchase in n year at the price that
they had sold II TO him, with 6 per
cent interest. Prior TO the expiration
of the year. Alfred Merritt, one OF
the brothers who testified before the
committee. brought suit against Mr..
Rockefeller and he and several OF the
others never endeayored TO exercise
the option Another brother and
nephew, at the expiration OF the op-
ton, applied for an extension of 1t on
their stock, which was given, and
they subsequently took back their
stock, amounting to 10000 shares and
on the formation of the steel corpora
ton sold 1t to that company.
