JOHN JACOB ASTOR,
fourth, IS YEAR old
SON OF TITANIC VICTIM REACHES
FIRST BIRTHDAY TODAY IN
NEW YORK

New York. Aug. l4.-Born in the lap
OF wealth under unusual circumstan-
oes and nurtured like an infant prince
of royal blood, John Jacob Astor IN
posthumous son of the late Colonel
John Jacob Astor, one of the notable
victims of the Titanic disaster. reach
es the first milestone of his young life
the first anniversary of his birth on
August IA, 1912. Although only just
twelvemonth of age the millionaire
baby or baby millionaire has already
an interesting, in fact, a sensational
history.
Circumstances of the most unusual
character surrounded the coming into
the world of this child which, notwith-
standing it's tender youth is the owner
of a fortune of three million dollars,
to be held in trust for him until he
becomes of age. His father was Col
onel John Jacob Astor, one of the
wealthiest men in this country, who
left fortune estimated at nearly one
hundred millions, when he met a
brave mans death on the ill-fated I'll
tanic Colonel Astor, son of William
Astor, and cnusin Of William Waldorf
Astor was married twice. In 1891 he
married Ava Lowle Willing, by whom
he was divorced in 1909 In the fall
Of 1911 it as rumored that Colonel
John Jacob Astor was paying marked
attention to Madeline, the beautiful
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs William H.
Force, of Brooklyn, N. " The rumor
was soon confirmed, when Colonel AS
tor obtained a marriage license on Sep
tember 8, 1911, at an early hour Of the
morning and quickly drove to Newport,
R. l.. where the marriage ceremony
was performed at "Beechwood,' Col
onel Astor's magnificent summer resi-
dence in that fashionable resort. Ow
ing to the fact that the divorce decree
forbade Colonel Astor to remarry in
the state Of New York and the strong
public sentiment aroused by the an
nouncement of his engagement to Miss
Force, Colonel Astor experienced con-
siderable difficulty in obtaining the
services Of a minister to perform the
ceremony. Eventually he succeeded,
however, and the nuptial knot was
tied by the Rev DR.. Joseph Lambert,
Congregational minister Of Provi-
dence, R. l.
Immediately after the ceremony
Colonel Astor and his young bride
sailed for Europe and made an extern
sive wedding trip through the CONT
nent and to Egypt They returned to
England in the early part Of the spring
Of 1912 and arranged to return to the
United States on the White Star liner
Titanic which started from Liverpool
on its maiden trip to New York, April
10.
The wreck of the Titanic on its first
transatlantic voyage forms one Of the
most stirring and sensational chapters
in the history Of the transatlantic
navigation Four days out from Liver

Titanic crossed the path Of the ice

Las Vegas optic., 1913-08-14

halfway company mas Issued a Dulle
tin about the enforcement of the 2S
hour law for livestock in transit, show
ing the results of an investigation by
the United States bureau of anima,
industry Of feeding, watering and rest
ing animals in course of interstate
transportation.
''The amount of feed which should
be given to different classes OF
stock" the bureau of animal industry
finds, varies with the length Of time
between feelings and the weights OF
the animals. For e-ca "a hours the
ration for horses and cattle should
not be less than IA pounds OF hay
to each hundredweight of animal; for
sheep, not less than 1h pounds of
hay to each hundredweight of animal,
and for hogs, not less than one pound
of shelled corn, or its equivalent in
ear corn or other grain. to each hun
dredweight Of animal, for periods
greater or less than "a hours the ra.
tion should be greater or less, respect
lively, in the same proportion.
The only practicable methods for
railroads to transport animals, other
than hogs, without unloading during
each period prescribed by the statute
for rest, water ana feeding, are in
palace or similar stockcsss and with
emigrant outfits. There are cases in
which exceptional facilities complying
with the law make unloading unnec-
essary; for instance, specially equip
ped cars conveying show animals and
blooded stock"
Few Damage Suits
