shoulders, was quite seriously injured.
He is being cared for at the home of
his brother, George, and is at present
improving.
While working at the brick yard. last
Friday, Harry Scherping was painfully
hurt through one of his hands being
caught between heavy block of wood
and furnace door. Two fingers of
his left hand were broken, notwith-
standing which he has since gamely
kept at his work.
Ernest Smitzer, proprietor of the
Hotel Smitzer at Birch Run, and Chas.
Brown, of Saginaw, were victims of an
auto accident, yesterday afternoon,
when their auto turned turtle at Smiths

thought to have sustained a fractured
skull.

The recitals given at the M. P.

the somewhat unfavorable weather,
and were thoroughly delightful. The
large number of Miss Yerden's pupils
and their - nfident skill at the piano is
fine tribute !, her ability as an in
structor. The program on Tuesday
evening was rendered additionally
pleasurable because of the appearance
of the M. P. orchestra, which gave
several fine selections. The last recital
of the series will be given this Friday
evening and the public is cordially in
vited.

marks Made by Him.

a professor of sociology and GRIMM
ology, at a meeting Wednesday night
The socialists have taken offense at
the remarks made by him in which
lac said that "the socialists are respon-
sible for the European war" that $50
cialism and anarchism are alike and
that socialism is a disease of the
mind 49,.
Today the local branch. Of socialists
have issued sweeping challenge to
him to debate on the subject Re
solved that Socialism is for the benefit
of all humanity It is their sole de-
sire to have Ziv accept their challenge
and try to refute with some Of their
convincing orators.
When informed of the challenge to-
day Professor" xiv said that he

While Mrs. Rockefeller had been ar
invalid for many months, it is under
stood that her death came unex-
] rectedly. Her husband and son were
at Ormond, Fla, and We're advised
Z early today that Mrs. Rockefeller had
A4ken a turn for the worse. They inn
IN ediately engaged a special train,
which left jacksonville early today. it
was learned, and is due 70 arrive here
some time tomorrow. Mrs E. Parma
lee Prentice, Mrs. RockfeIIer's daugh-
ter, was the only Immediate relative
present when she died.
Born i'm Ohio.
Laura Celestial Spelman Rockefeller
twas born in Wadsworth, Ohio, of we'll
/ TODD New England parents. on Sep
TENDER 8, 1889. She was her hus
bands junior by two months. AS a
child she lived in Wadsworth, in Bur-
lington, Ia, in Akron. O., where her
father Harvey B. tSpelman, achieved
competence in the drygoods bust
ness, and later in Cleveland. In the
grammar school at Cleveland she met
/ J ohm Rockefeller when they were fiji
teen years old.
Rockefeller was a country boy. She
was the daughter of one of Cleveland's
leading citizens. His home was a lit
tie farm house; hers, one of Cleve-
lands handsome est residences. His as
sSciates, outside of school, were mostly
. farm hands and country boys: hers
were talented folk of affairs drawn to
I her fathers handsome home, for her
father then was a member of the Ohio
legislature, a public-spi citizen
interested in philanthropies and a man
of many activities. notwithstanding
other differences, the awkward youth
aRd the city girl had in common love
Of study and simple tastes, and they
became fast friends.
Quiet Studious Girl.
Laura Spelman's school mates knew
her as quiet, studious girl who would
rather read a good book than go to
the theater; as devout churchgoer

! much of the work herself. She also
supervised every detail of the care and
training Of her children, particularly
seeking to instill in their minds the
lie sson of thrift. It is related that
on one occasion she averaged up the
gas bills for a year and promised
as spending money to her eldest
daughter any sum she might save
each month by watching that no lights
were left burning needlessly.
Suffered Under Attack.
A relative told of her suffering un-
der a particularly bitter newspa per
attack in Cleveland against her hus-
band. At her insistence, the guards
around the Forest Hill estate were
doubled. Although Mr.. Rockefeller
received scores of letters threatening
his life and personal friends and rel
atives pleaded with him not to ex-
pose himself, he insisted on making
his usual Sunday trip by. automobile
to the Euclid avenue Baptist church.
When Mrs. Rockefeller heard of his
determination she insisted on accom-
panying him, although poor health
had kept her confined to the house
for some time.
IF anything happens to you," she
is quoted as saying, Il want it to hap
pen to me, too 49, .".
Three Children Survive.

tiers and one son, the last named

the age of 40. The second daugh-
ter, Alice, died in infancy.

EARLY CLOSING is >
QUIETLY ACCEPTED
Clerks Pleased and Public Agreeable
to Schedule of Shorter Hours
Soon to Be in Effect.

Soon to Be in Effect.
The decision of the Mercantile bu-
reau to provide a schedule of earlier
closing for the stores Of the city has
trading public. Comment today was
particularly favorable to the o'clock
closing.
1t is expected that the directors of
the Chamber of Commerce will heart
lily approve the program agreed upon
by the merchants at their meeting
next Tuesday, thus giving the plan
civic sanction.
The only argument advanced
against o'clock closing is that the
workingmen would have no time in
which to do their trading. w w.
Leland, the chairman of the commit
tee on uniform hours and practices,
said today that the committee had
thoroughly considered this objection
and were convinced that the amount
Of business transacted after O'Clock
was not sufficient to indicate that the
public needed the half hour between
6 and $50 in which to make their
purchases. Two evenings week give
the Saturday half holiday became
general in the factories, every per-
son has plenty of time in which to
make his purchases. }
1t has been found that the demand
of few individuals that the clerks
stay behind the counters the extra
half hour is based on the idea that
the individual may at some time or
other run out of clean collars or may
want a box of crackers for his sup
per and it would be fine to know that
several hundred clerks were waiting
patiently to provide him with these
necessities. 1t probably would never
happen, say the clerks The individ-
ual would find that his other coll
lar would do and he might have saved
a few crackers from the previous
evenings meal

and as a girl who was always well
/ dressed in good taste, avoiding ex-
| tremes and seeking simplicity. She
was intensely practical and home-lov-
| ing. At high school she caused some
surprise by taking not only the pre-
scribed course but bookkeeping and
other commercial studies little pur-
sued by young women in those days.
There seems to have been little sem
tlmentality in the friendship between
Miss Spelman and young Rock efeller,
but for ten years each was the 9th s
best friend. During the days of Rock
efeller's early manhood, when he saw
| his hopes of a college education fade
away, and soon thereafter when he
! tramped the streets of Cleveland for
weeks in a seemingly hopeless search
for work, she encouraged and cheered
him. Soon after he had established
himself in his first place-as book
keeper at $500 a year-she left Cleve-
land to complete her education at
Worcester, Mass She returned when
she was twenty years old and taught
in Cleyelands public schools. Her
first class was the "a" grammar grade
in the Brownell street school, now
known as the East Fourteenth Street
school. And she renewed her friend
ship with young Rockefeller.
Interested in Church Work.
In 1862 Miss Spelman, described by
her superiors as a splendid discipline
rian and perfect teacher. became
assistant principal of the school, Rock
efeller, absorbed in business took the
books of his firm to her Of an evening
and together they would go over his
affairs Both of them were interested
together in church work, too; she as
regationalist, he as a Baptist:
and neither ever attended a dance or
the theater
Young Rockefeller prospered be-
yond his fairest hopes AS soon as
he felt that he could ask her to be-
come his wife he did so. They were
married on September 8, 1864, the
eve of her twenty birthday, and
started to keep house in little two
story brick residence on one of Cleve-
lands side streets. Upon her mar
riage, she became Baptist and to
her religion and her home she de-
voted her entire time
Wrapped in Family.
ITO be a good wife and mother is
the highest and hardest privilege of
a woman" was one of the sayings ac-
credited to her by the little circle of
friends she knew at this time The
borders of her world were her home
Her whole life was wrapped up in
her husband and children. She avoided
all social functions and joined no
clubs.
When Mr.. Rockefeller's wealth was
mentioned in seven figures they left
their first home for residence re-
markable only for it's unpretentious-
ness on Euclid avenue, Clevelands
mile of millions Here Mrs. Rock
efeller reared her four children; fifth
died in infancy.
Training Almost Spartan.
The. training given the Rockefeller
children by their mother is declared
to have been almost Spartan. AL
though the Rockefeller wealth in
creased in leaps and bounds there was
only one carriage and horse cared
for by man, who acted as both
coachman and hostler. These were
used mostly Sundays on the trip to
church. Mrs. Rockefeller employed
two maids but still insisted on doing
