mot So Bad" Says John D.

CLEVELAND, o., July s. =
John d. Rockefeller is 70 years
old today. His health Is better
than for years back, and he is
richer. He rose at 1880 O'Clock
and after adjusting his wig, took
a squint at himself in the mir
ror.
Not so bad for three score
years and thirteen" he solilo-
quized.
Then he went down to break
fast and ate a heaping dish of
strawberries and cream, drank a
large glass of milk and munched
several pieces of buttered toast.
At 8 o'clock Rockefeller
mounted his bicycle and started
for the golf links. He wore q
large brimmed straw hat to ward
off the hot rays of the sun.
For the last three years he has
been making the nine holes of his
course in AT or As. His bicycle
failed to arrive until two weeks
after he arrived at Forest Hill
last month. Instead of buying a
new one as he would have been
compelled to do in other years,
he followed the ball on foot. Thus
he not only saved $50, but DEM
onstrated to himself and friends
that his muscles are still strong
and wiry.
Rockefeller attended church

CAPT. WELLES
ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER THE FAIR
PRESIDENT Of ASSOCIATION
SAYS OUTLOOK is EXCEEDING
LY BRIGHT AT THIS TIME AND
HE Is CONFIDENT THIS WILL
BE GREATEST FAIR IN HISTORY
OF THE ORGANIZATION.

When seen by a representative of
The Journal yesterday afternoon, Capt.
T. E. Welles, president of the Pensa-
cola Interstate Fair Association, was
very optimistic as to the outlook for
the success of the fair this year. In
fact, Captain Welles said the outlook
was much brighter than it had ever
been before and he was confident that
the best fair ever held in Florida would
occur at Kupfrian park this fall.
While we have not definitely de-
cided that we will have any racing at
the fair this year, 1 am already in
receipt of a number of letters from
horsemen all over the country asking
about this matter and expressing a
desire to come here this year" said
Capt Welles.
Somehow, all Of the horsemen who
have been to Pensacola are eager to
come back" continued Capt. Welles.
although few of them have ever
made any money here. However. they
have always had a good time and
they all want to come back"
Speaking of the financial side of
the fair, Capt. Welles said things
looked bright now and that he believed
that the fair would be a success finan-
cially this year. He said he had no
ticed where the fair associations in
Montgomery and Nashville had Sc =
cured contributions amounting to s1o.-
600 each. IF they can do this" he
said, Il can see no reason in the world
why we should have any trouble in
selling stock to the amount Of $4,000.
We are not asking for contributions.
but merely for subscriptions for stock.
which we believe within the next year
or two viii be worth dollar for dollar
and will within a few years become a
paying investment"

Chicago, June 15.-Theodore Roose-
welt has scores Of followers in Chi
cago who are very successful in the
use Of strong and bitter language
against the Taft committeeman, but
few can equal and none surpass in
this regard Francis ]. Heney, of San
Francisco. Heney is the man who a
few years ago brought terror to the
hearts of the San Francisco grafters
and sent some OF them, including Abe
Ruef, to the penitentiary.
The name of Abe Ruef will long
stand as a synonym for rottenness
and corruption in public life. He was
the worst CRATER that a city of no
torious political grafters has ever seen.
Yet here Is Heney. earnestly de-
claring that the Taft committeeman
have committed deeds as foul as any
that Ruef was ever guilty Of When
Heney first made the accusation men
gasped for breath.
The proceedings Of the national
committee in handling the contests be-
tween Roosevelt and Taft are the most
scandalous and disgraceful farce that
I've seen in the 30 years / have been
in politics." declares Heney, and I've
watched the toughest politicians in the
world in San Francisco.

couldn't have approached them. have

are no laws that will take care of TIE
present situation in the national COM
mittee.
.sFhere are parts Of the United
States where self government does not
exist, simply because political parties
have been permitted to operate with
out any state laws to regulate primary
elections"
Heney is q power In Republican
politics on the Pacific slope If the
men whom he now denounces should
succeed in the Chicago convention,
would he support the party's nominee
Would the other Roosevelt men who
have joined him in his denunciation
