Special Dispatch to The Star.

/
TARRYTOWN. N. Y, September IA
John D. Rockefeller has been made the
victim Of willy Italians. When the oil
king obtained his 5000 acres of Pocantico
hills he found that the district was in
tested by thousands of snakes of every
kind.
Mr.. Rockefeller is as afraid of snake
as he is Of a process server. So he had
his superintendent post a notice that he
would pay % cents for every snake skin
brought in by the workmen.
The Italians saw a chance for easy
money, and great was the death rate
of reptiles on the Rockefeller estate. Some
| Italians made money so fast that they
| were threatened by Black Hand agents
The crop was good and the money har-
vest was big.
Nobody Keeps Tally.
No one knows how many thousands OF
| snakes paid the penalty for trespass on
| the Rockefeller estate. but when last
springs season opened the snakes were
almost extinct. The Italians hunted high
and low. and few, II any. snakes were
| discovered. Great was the disappoint-
ment among them. It was hard to lose
the velvet of former years.
| Accordingly, one bright Italian suggest
| ed that they capture some snakes, even
| If they had to go to other places for
| them, and start a hatchery. Soon busi-
| ness began to pick up again.
superintendent Is Suspicious.
Superintendent Briggs was puzzled as
to where all the snakes were coming
from, for in his daily travels he COM
mented on the entire absence of reptiles.
Still the Italians were bringing in the
| skins and collecting. He was suspicious.
He set trap and discovered that the
| Italians were raising them.
| The guilty laborers were DISCHARGED
| and a new scheme is to be thought out.
| 1t is probable that men will be employed
to do nothing else but kill snakes in the
estate.
