Bailey VIII Accept coiiectorship OF

Depot.

RaIeigh.-A special from Washing
ton states that Senator Simmons has
recommended J. w. Bailey of Raleigh
for collector of internal revenue foi
the Eastern district and the deadlock
involving Mr.. Bailey, Francis D. Win
ston and w. T. Dortch has been
broken.
1t has been known here for several
weeks that these three men would
be put forward for the three district
Jobs. but it was not known what the
division would be. Word comes from
North Carolina that Mr.. Bailey will
take the collectorship, so the prob
lem is solved.
Mr.. Dortch will be named as Uni
ted States marshal and Mr.. Winston
will be recommended for district at
torney.
The senate confirmed J. T. Dick as
postmaster at Mebane.
Charles w. Dockery on behalf of
himself and the citizens Of Burch
Station, Surry county, placed before
the interstate commerce commission
an entirely new phase Of government
tai railroad control, when he petit
toned the commission to order the
Southern Railway to establish depot
with an agent at Burch Station. The
petition states that the appeal is
made to commission because the
corporation commission of North
Carolina has no jurisdiction, there be-
ing a station within five miles of
Burch and the state law is thereby
met
Mr.. Dockery alleges that the citi-
zens of his vicinity furnish consider
able passenger and freight business
and the failure of the railway COM
pany to establish a depot and place
an agent there is unjust and unrea-
sonable discrimination against the
locality.
In well-informed Gil cles the opinion
was expressed that the commission
would not grant the application. To
do so would lay the foundation for
thousands of similar petitions

him. Flagler also acquired an inter
est in distillery, which gave him an
outlet for a considerable quantity OF
grain When he left Bellevue, Flagler
had accumulated a fortune of $4,000.
Next he went to Saginaw and tried
to manufacture salt. AT the end of
three years he had lost his small for
tune and owed $4,000 to the men
who had been working in his salt FAC
tory The relatives of his first wife,
who died about thirty years ago leav-
ing him little boy, and a half-brother
loaned him enough money at 10 per
cent to pay his debts, and he removed
to Cleveland and engaged in the grain
and produce commission business.
Associated With Rockefeller.
John D. Rockefeller and William
Rockefeller and Samuel Andrews had
started a small oil refinery in Cleve-
land on the side of hill. When the
second refinery was built in 1867, Ste
phen Hardness, who was related TO
Flagler by marriage. backed him for
100000 in partnership with Mr..
Rockefeller and his associates. Other
associates bought them up as fast as
their means permitted. This business
developed rapidly, and in 1870 they
closed their partnership organization
and organized the Standard Oil COM
pany Al first it was capitalized at
100000, but after the company had
bought out a few large concerns, it in
creased it's capital to s3,500,000. Later
it was increased to $70,000,000.
With his steadily increasing wealth
Mr.. Flagler's business activities eX-
banded and reached into other fields.
He became interested in railroads,
mines and banks, bought large tracts
of timber land and, about twenty years
ago, recognizing the possibilities of
Florida, he began the development of
the resources of that state upon
large scale. He began to build rail-
roads in Florida, connecting with east
ern systems. erected number of mag
nificent hotels, among then the ia

copalian clergyman in Philadelphia,

had spent a fortune in an effort to re-
store her reason, he obtained dl-

.FERTIG IS RELEASED

d. d. Fertig, an employee of the
Richmond Ice Cream company, North
Fourth street, was arrested last night
on a warrant of Dairy Inspector Flock
and Health: Officer T. Henry Davis for
selling ice cream which did not con-
tain the required amount of butter fat
Fertig was given a severe lecture by
Mayor Zimmerman in police court this
morning. No fine was imposed on the
man who promised to have the cream
made according to the standard re-
quired by the state laws.
The ice cream which the company
has been selling has been tested and
found to contain Sc per cent butter
fat while the state law requires that
no ice cream be sold with less than s
per cent butter fat. The place will be
closely watched hereafter and frequ-
ent tests of the ice cream will be
made. The health officer and dairy in
spector state that they will enforce
the state law rigidly hereafter and
will make frequent tests of the pro-
duct of all ice cream makers.

EARL HAM IS READY
FOR l. {. A. |. MEET

The Earlham baseball team plays
Rose Poly tomorrow here and the an
nual |. c. A. l.. track meet will be
held here Saturday afternoon. The
Quaker lads have been working two
weeks in preparation for the meet.
The weight events are taken care of
by Babe" Stanley and Walter Rob-
erts is expected to take the pole vault
and probably break the Earlham track
record set by Conrad. He went within
one and seven-eights inches of the
mark at Indiana. Johnson looks good
in the century and broad jump and
Harvey Cox will probably do some
thing good in the quarter mile.
Joe Roberts will surely take first
place in both hurdles if. he equals his
former record. The long grind and the
second and third places are doubtful
and on them will probably rest the de-
cision of the meet. Earlham, Franklin,
Rose Poly and Wabash are entered in
the meet
The baseball game with Rose Poly
tomorrow will probably prove one of
the best games of the season. The
engineers have a strong team and are
expecting to win the victory. Coach
'rhistlethwaite has been working the
Earlham nine hard this week.

BRANDS CALAvERAS
SKULL AS A HOAX
Professor Hole, In Earlham
Chapel, Talks on So-Called
Missing Links"

Prof. Allen ID. Hole, head of the de
partment of Geology at Earlham spoke
at the Earlham chapel ext. cises this
morning on the various skulls and skel-
etons which have been found in this
country and abroad which have been
called missing links" Professor Hole
does not believe that these remains
are as old as usually reported. and
does not think that there was human
life on the earth before the ice sheet
covered the most of North America.
Professor Hole spoke particularly
of the Calaveras Skull, found by gold
miners in California. The gravel in
which the skull was found is known
as that of the tertiary period and is
from ten to a hundred times as old as
that in this part of the country which
dates from the ice period. The ice
period is estimated to have been from
5000 to $4,000 years ago, making the
skull, according to reports from $4,000
to 100000 years old.
AS other remains of the animals
found near by are extinct species, and
the stone implements found near the
skull are very similar to those used
by the Indians in historic times, Prof.
Hole does not believe that the skull
belongs to the same age as the gold
bearing gravel in which it was found.
Three examinations We're made by
Prof. Hole. The finding of the skull.
he says, might have been simply a
joke. like the Cardiff giant hoax. where
some one had carved giant man out
of stone and buried it. to be dug up
later. Another explanation is that In
dams might have buried one of their
number in a very deep grave.
Prof. Hole said that the skeleton re-
Gently dug up in England may prove
as old as has been stated, but he ex-
poets that some such explanation may
be found for il also.

Henry Flagler, a Founder
of Standard Oil, is Dead
National News Association,

National News Association)
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, May 20.
Henry M. Flagler, who has been Sc
riously i'll for some time, died here to-
day.
Mr.. Flagler, Standard Oil magnate,
railroad builder, builder and owner of
ida, was one of the small coterie of
men who was associated with John
ID. Rockefeller in founding the Stand
ard Oil company, and became enor-
mously rich with the growth of the
gigantic corporation. His father was
poor Presbyterian preacher in Can
andaigua, n. Y, who found it rather
difficult task to provide the neces-
saries Of life for himself and family on
an annual salary of $500. In the little
village south of Rochester Henry NJ.
Flagler was born in 1880.
He went to school in Canadaigua
until he had reached his fourteenth
year, when he decided to earn his own
living in order to relieve the stress of
poverty for his mother and his sister.
With a few dollars in his pocket and
Il carpet bag containing his other be-
longings in his hand, he started from
his home and walked nine miles to
Medina, where he obtained passage to
Buffalo on a freight boat on the Erie
canal. During the long journey he sub
sisted on the lunch which his mother
had packed in his carpet bag. In Buff
falo he took a vessel for Sandusky,
which he reached after a stormy pass
age of three days, almost worn out
by seasickness.
What His Capital Was.
From Sandusky young Flagler
pushed on to the little Ohio village of
Republic. When he arrived there he
had a five-franc piece, a French gold
coin equivalent to about one American
dollar, five cents in silver and four
copper pennies. The five-franc piece
he never spent 1t is one of the most
treasured relics of his early career
which he left to his heirs.
At Republic he obtained work in a
country store for SIS a month and his
board. In ten months his pay was in
creased forty per cent, or about fifty
cents a week. He worked hard and
saved his money, gradually working
his way up until he earned about
$500 a year After he had accumu-
lated little money he moved to Belle
vue, a small place in the adjoining
county and went into the grain bust
ness John D. Rockefeller was then
merchant in Cleveland,
and F'lagler sent him many carloads
of wheat which Rockefeller sold for
