Rockefeller Buys to
Stop March OF Trade.

New York, July 26.-John ID. Rock
efeIler has bought the four-story and
basement dwelling house, on lot 25x
1908 feet, at No. 16 West 54th street,
from Elizabeth Milbank Cauldwell.
Nichols & Hobbie and Horace s. Ely
& Co. were the brokers' With this pur-
chase Mr.. Rockefeller now owns about
five parcels in the street, and there
fore he has extended the area sur
rounding the homes of himself and of
his son which will be restricted for
many years to residential purposes.
Attention has been called to the fact
that retail trade from Sixth avenue
was slowly moving through the street.
The premises at No. 81, for which over
lures to lease We're made earlier in the
week, has passed, as expected, from
residential to business. The lease OBJ
tanned by Miss Anna Butler, a dress
maker, from Mrs. Frances N. Wolff, is
for n period of five years.
Mr.. Rockefeller indicated by the buy
ing of the premises at No. 16 that re-
tail business trade would have to step
livelier if it expected to approach much
nearer to Fifth avenue. He is spending
at the present rate about 100000 a
month TO establish his purpose.
A peculiar feature of the situation is
that he is not paying high prices for
whatever properties are offered for sale.
In fact, he has obtained one or two
parcels at bargain prices. This was due
to the alertness of his brokers in learn
ing at once the properties for sale and
in making quick overtures to get them.
A typical transaction of this charac-
ter was the purchase of the Kinney
house, at No. 10. Mr.. Rockefeller be-
came the owner of it at many thou
sands less than the original cost of the
building. How long he will be able to
buy under such favorable conditions
is a question which none of the real
estate experts seems to be able to an
swer.
In bidding against Mr. Rockefeller 1t
appears that the retail trade concerns

Disarmament Is Not
Favored by Orientals.

Honolulu, July 26.-Dr. c. w. Elliott.
president emeritus of Harvard Uni
versity, who is returning from tour
of the Orient in connection with the
world peace movement. declared in an
address here that neither China nor
Japan favored disarmament. Such a
course would be impossible for Japan,
he said, because of her insular posi-
ton, which renders it necessary for
her TO he able to protect her routes of
ocean commerce.
DR.. Elliott characterized the Japa-
nese war seares of recent years as alb
surd. Japan, he said. was not in the
least inclined to be warlike and would
fight only as a last possible resort.
The only hope of worldwide desarm-
ament. DR.. Elliott declared, lies in the
American policies of examples.
DIR. Elliott is carrying to the United
States a memorial signed by many
leading Chinese statesmen asking that
an American library be established at
Picking.
1t is urged that such step would
lead to better understanding of
American ideas by the Chinese.
DR.. Elliott expects to sail for San
