JOHN D. FLEES FROM OHIO
Rockefeller Leaves Cleveland Sudden
~ Following Attempt by Officials
to Collect Big Tax. *.

Cleveland. o.. Feb. John d.
Rockefeller, from whom Cuyahoga
county tax commissioners are trying
to obtain So 100000 in taxes, fitted
out of the city mysteriously and now
is steaming on his way towards Pecan.
tico Hills, n. Y. Why the oil king
left Cleveland so hurriedly has not
been explained. 1t was rumored that
Miss Lucy Spellman. his sister.in-law,
who is now at Pocantico Hills, is i'll.
Tax commissioners smiled when told
this. They intimated that Rockefeller
sought to complicate the situation by
removing himself from their jurisdic-
ton. They declare that the taxes will
be collected just the same, that his
leaving the city will not AFFECT their
case against him in the least.
