twenty-ffth birthday" Of John Gala
han, Tombs chaplain and its superin-
tendent. and the twenty-ffth anniver-
sary Of the passing of John Callahan,
barkeep, drunkard and gambling house
steerer.
Twenty-Five years ago last night Cal
lahan, then barkeeper Of the st. James
Hotel, in Minneapolis, then the tough
est hotel in tough city, wandered on
his way home from work, half drunk,
into little mission. The converts were
singing abide with Me-" hymn which
ne had last heard as q little boy at his
mothers funeral. Callahan. the bar
keeper, knelt, and the tears which wet
his face were not all maudlin. Gala

him and showed him the Testament

was through. He looked at me and
laughed John he said. IN give you
about one week to blow up
"Well, it's twenty-five years to-day,

OF my heart with this" he announced
reverently and put it away carefully.
Brother John of the Bowery' he is
who drift into the Hadley Mission for
a hand-out on winter nights. For ten
years he has lived among them day in
and day out His chaplainship at the
Tombs has given him a post graduate
experience with the squalid vice of the

sunny as his Irish brogue, and his eyes
hold a clear faith in mankind.

honor. Yet most Of the audience were
the draggled, unshaven men that shuttle
aimlessly about the city.

Mitchell Still Thinking
on All-Night Licenses

Mayor Mitchell announced yesterday
that he had been in receipt of many
petitions and letters from organizations
and ministers protesting against the
granting Of all-night licenses on New
Years Eve The Mayor conferred with
Police Commissioner Woods and Presl
dent McAneny, of the Board of Alder
men, in regard to the matter, but said
afterward It would be a day or two
before he announced his intentions.
Last year 215 special licenses were
issued and no complaints followed. The
so-called oll-night permit does not
allow the privilege of keeping open all
night, but only until an hour set by
the Mayor The time is generally fixed
AZ one or two hours after the regular
closing time.
Among the ministers who wrote let.
ters protesting against the granting Of
any Of the applications were, the Rev.
william VI. Carr, the Rev. Robert Wat
son, the Rev. Albert Dale CAN'T, of the
First Presbyterian Church, the Rev.
DR.. Arson P. Attlebury, the Rev. Oscar
H. Voorhees,.

that the freshest and most impor-

The paper printed as 1t was five

to the situation already becoming

'eral situation is discussed.
An interesting feature is the adver-

tisement OF an estate declares that
there is negro Tor sale in the list of
goods for sale. In another advertise
ment some liberal citizen whose negro
servant has run away from him, offers

ROCKEFELLER JR.
rs NOW HEAD
Has Taken Over Management Of His
Fathers interests According to
All Appearances.

limited Press Leased Wire Service1
DENVER, Colo, Sept. 27-Ke-
freshed after Sundays rest on the
ranch OF j. F. Wellborn, president Of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron CO.. John
D. Rockefeller Jr. arrived in Denver
today for conferences with his or
Gals and perhaps with committees
OF union miners also. During 1.-THE
coming week Rockefeller was ex.
pected to make plain, first, that
Rockefeller Jr. and not his father,
the oil king, Is now the active head
of the Rockefeller interests.
Second-The policies Of the son
are not those Of the father. A new
"paternalistic" era in the conduct Of
these interests is to be begun.
Third-This new era will not pro-
vide for union recognition, though it
will include reforms sought through
unionism.
Fourth-The new head of the
Rockefeller interests will play a
greater personal part in the actual
conduct OF affairs than his father
did, role begun by his present trip.
That the son is active head of the
Rockefeller interests was shown by
his visit here in the face of his tatn-
er's advice to the contrary, his thor
ough investigation of properties and
official allegiance to young Rookie
Teller. The oil kings age and golf
prcclivities were also pointed out as
marking his retirement.
That the sons policies will be diff
ferent, was shown by his sociological
investigation, radically unlike any
thing the founder Of the Rockefeller
fortune ever attempted. Both are a
unit, however, in opposition to recog-
milton of the United Mine Workers,
and in support OF an open shop pol
icy.
Asked what good will come OF the
trip. Rockefeller begged to be ex-
cused from replying and when told
that It was charged the trip was Q
publicity move, said:
Il believe that you newspaper men
realize it was not simply publicity
affair.""
Paternalism was tacitly admitted
by members of Rockefellers party,
in pointing out that new homes,
parks, gardens, club houses and
control Of intimate details in the
miners, lives were measures, taken
because the officials believed the
miners could not take care OF them
selves.
The question OF conference with
union committee depended on
-Rockefeller's receipt of formal re-
quest for such a meeting. There was
some doubt today whether the union
would make such request.
